Kyojuro Rengoku x reader (TSUGUKO!)

chap 4

(theres going to be a bit more dialoge in this chapter than, well, descriptions i guess?)

You stood at Kyojuro's door, hesitant to knock. For some reason, your legs felt like jelly and your hands were trembling. You anxiety was getting the best of you again.

What was i thinking when i invited him to eat dinner with me? At a ramen place? Im wasting his time right now!!!!! I should just go home!

Your mind was racing with doubtful thought, but you still raised your hand up and knocked lightly on the door. As you waited, you smoothed your hair with your hands and shuffled your feet nervously.

You wore your hair down, rather than the regular hair-up style you usually wore. Your soft kimono brushed against your skin, much less rough than the fabric of the training outfit. It was one of your more expensive kimonos, though theres no way Rengoku would notice, let alone care.

It wasn't to impress him of course-! You wouldn't do that just for his attention.

He slid the door open and you were met with his bright and beaming face. His orange eyes looked down to yours as he took a step closer to you.

"y/n! I really appreciate you letting me join you on your dinner! Im so grateful." he said in a quite enthusiastic voice.

"Hello master rengoku! Its no problem, im glad your joining me aswell!"

"By the way, your hair looks great when its completely down. You know, i hadn't really noticed the pink tips."

You blushed slightly at his compliment and looked down to your shoes, quite flustered infact. "Oh wow- im... im flattered. Thank you!"

"Oh, its nothing. Just an observation" he said, scratching the back of his neck, but he seemed to not notice the blush on your cheeks.

You and rengoku set on your way to the restaurant, which was actually quite close to around there. As you both had normal conversation as you walked, you noticed something about him. He was so kind and compassionate, and not to mention very sweet. You wouldn't tell him this now, but you really enjoyed his company, even if you were a bit shy.

As you both stepped into the restaurant, it was just like the last time you came. A still, calming atmosphere was one of the best things about this restaurant. Besides the food, of course.

You led kyojuro to a small booth, hidden away in a comfy corner. It was usually your favorite place to sit, and would be great with company. You looked to your side, where you saw him looking around the resturant with his cute smile and eyes widened, taking in the details of it.

"Lets sit here." you offered, and slunk into the soft cushioned seat. He did the same and sat across fromo you.

"Thakn you for taking me here." he said, smiling brightly and looking into your eyes. You fidgeted with the loose strands of your hair infront of your face.

"N-no... i should be thanking you for making time for me. I know that you could be doing better things-"

"No not all! I am glad to join you." he said, cutting off your sentence.

For the next few minutes, you showed kyojuro the menu and spoke to him about the great food they served. A waiter approached your table and stood at the end of it. He held a small notepad, and asked you and kyojuro for your orders. You both ordered the same thing, the specialty ramen and a few sides.

"I cant wait to try it." kyojuro said. Now you had a few minutes to talk to rengoku before your food arrived.

"So, tell me, y/n, how long have you been a demon slayer for. I recall you saying something about... i think you told me you were not a beginner slayer. Of course, i had known this, otherwise i would not have offered you to become my Tsuguko. I told you that Mrs. Kocho had told me about you, haven't I?"
