Unforgettable // Muichiro X Reader // Lemon

A mission

Muichiro's POV

--------

I went to the Master's meeting about the boy and his sister. I don't remember much except that the boy had seen Muzan. I had already forgotten everything else. When everything was decided for them, I turned to return home, excited to see her again.

I felt someone grab my shoulder and stop me from running home to see her though, causing me to feel a bit annoyed again. It was Tengen again.

"So, what have you found out?" He asked me. I looked at him confused, trying to remember what he told me. Oh yeah, I need to gauge her feelings for me subtly, or else it could cause awkwardness between us as tsugoku and hashira.

"I tried to cook for her like she does for me. It didn't work out well," I told him calmly before Mitsuri exclaimed behind him.

"His Estate smelled worse than fifty demons!!" That was a bit of an exaggeration. Tengen laughed at her comment but looked concerned when I didn't laugh, realizing it must be the truth.

"How did she react?" He asked me, the look of concern not leaving his face as he held me back from running to her.

"She ate it and swallowed it. Then she took another bite trying to make me feel better, I think," I explained. Tengen looked genuinely impressed, and Mitsuri was fussing something about how she should go see a doctor immediately.

Tengen looked at me dead in the eyes before speaking. "She either loves you or fears you immensely," Mitsuri nodded her head in agreement. I realized something since she was joining this conversation as if she already knew about my infatuation.

"Hey, what are you always talking to her about?" I asked her. She turned red before crossing her arms.

"Girl stuff, you wouldn't understand," She responded, acting like she was able to stay quiet when it came to love. She was most definitely hiding something, but I wasn't sure what. Her silence would be short-lived I am sure. Tengen shook me out of my thoughts again.

"Hey, just keep trying to figure out her feelings. If you wait too long, your feelings may grow too deep to easily move on if the worst happens," He explained. Too deep? When do you know you care for someone too deeply? I already am antagonized about being separated from her for a few hours. Speaking of which, I nodded to those two and ran off to make it home. Unfortunately, it was already dark by the time I arrived home and saw her surrounded by my origami paper, making me smile at how cute she looked.

MC POV

-------

When I woke up in the morning, it was because my crow Misora was yelling for me.

"Wake up, new mission, demon in the west mountains. Leave as soon as possible!" I rubbed my eyes. I suppose it had been about a month since I began training with Muichiro. He knocked and opened the door to my room when I told him to enter. He was still in his blue pajamas, obviously having just woken up as well.

"We need to prepare to leave. You go on my missions with me, so it will be dangerous. Be ready, okay?" He told me, changing to a look of worry for the last bit. I nodded and started to get ready. I wore my new uniform and matched with Muichiro as we met at the door. Misora landed on my left shoulder and his crow, Ginko, nuzzled up on my right side for a moment before returning to Muichiro.

"Strange. She doesn't usually like anyone else," He stated before they took flight and started to guide us to our next mission. Because Muichiro was a Hashira, he didn't need anyone else to accompany him, but I intended to be useful for this mission. 

The hike was long, and by the time we arrived at a suspicious-looking abandoned home not far from a mountain village, it was nightfall. We looked at each and nodded, moving forth cautiously to find out what was going on. The home was much too clean to be abandoned completely, though it was in disrepair. I sensed a demon from above, but Muichiro was already on it as he jumped towards them, using his first form, causing the demon to fall where I beheaded it with the same attack.

Yet, I could sense something more than this small demon. Muichiro jumped down too, nodded in acknowledgment at my swift strike, and continued to walk close to me. His face looked calm, almost bored, but I could tell he was worried for my safety. Something was odd though, as I stepped on a loose board and ended up falling through the floor into some kind of trap. My feet were bound and I was hanging upside from the floor as Muichiro looked at me bewildered.

There was an ugly demon before me, with hateful orange eyes. A woman with sickly pale skin and black makeup around her eyes.

"I just love prey on a string, it's so much fun to toy with!" She exclaimed excitedly before laughing manically. Even if I was upside down, I readied my sword. now glowing a burning aqua color, and blocked their blood demon art attack. Muichiro had jumped down and was heading towards the demon to behead them when I was suddenly grabbed with a hand from behind me, covering my voice as I tried to yell out.

Muichiro looked back towards me and realized I was being held hostage by the female demon's accomplice. 

"If you try and attack me, I will have my lover end her faster than you can breathe!" She threatened. Muichiro furrowed his eyebrows for a moment, frustrated until he looked around and noticed something I couldn't quite see. He used his fifth form to bring a sea of mist around us. The demons couldn't see as he disappeared, but I had grown used to the mist and watched as he cut the string around my legs loose before moving to behead both demons with ease while his blade blazed a brilliant blue.

Unfortunately for me, I was so in awe of his speed and ability I didn't turn myself in time causing me to fall on my head where everything went black.

"How can you trust your wives for your missions? This feels impossible," Muichiro was speaking from a distance. It pained me to hear him so stressed, but I couldn't quite see anything yet as I tried to move my hands. There was something soft but strong and warm in my right hand.

"Look, you did the right thing. It's part of this business, that's why you have to spend every moment you can with those you love," I could make out Tengen saying as Muichiro just sighed in frustration. I have never heard him sound like this. I squeezed my hand and tried to open my eyes to see my three favorite hashira standing before me. I was in the recovery unit at the Butterfly Mansion.

More importantly, I saw Muichiro's eyes open wide as he quickly grabbed me and pulled me into a tight hug. I couldn't move very much, but I tried to hug him back as I felt a silent tear drip from his face onto my head. I looked up at him to see him sick with worry. I remembered how he dried my tears from my nightmare as I reached up to his face and wiped his tears. 

"Don't cry. I am right here," I smiled as I teared up too. He looked stunned but it felt good to be held by him like this as he held me close and stroked my back gently.
