Muzan Ending

(y/n) stares slack jawed at the person standing before her. She wonders if she was hallucinating or not, but clearly she wasn't as muzan kibutsuji was staring back at her in nothing but jinbei on. His black hair was bright and flowing in the breezy wind.

"...muzan.." she whispers stunned, before whirling around and speed-walking someplace else, "nope, nope, nope!!" She mutters fast-paced, hearing footsteps rushing after her, which made her increase her speed.

"wait!" muzan calls out to her, "hear me out!" He demands. Guess reversing his demon blood didn't remove his terrible personality.

"i don't want to!!" (y/n) shouts back, not sparing a glance at the former demon king, "so, PISS OFF!!!" She glares at him.

muzan sighs irritated.

Truthfully speaking, muzan did a lot of thinking during his banishment. He realized he was wrong for killing or turning all those innocent people for his lust for power and immortality. He was blinded by his own ignorance that he lost everything.

He did lose everything, but he gained something back. A healthy human body which can stand in the sun; something he longed for.

muzan did not let up at all. The former demon king was persistently following her. She lets out a groan of frustration, shooting him a glare, "can you stop following me!??" she hisses, halting in her footsteps to whirl around and face the man.

muzan frowns, clenching his jaw. He just wanted her to hear him out but the foreign girl was not giving him the chance.

this went on for a while before (y/n) snaps, "i said...STOP following me!" her voice was sharp, the glare she directed at muzan making it clear she meant every word.

muzan, stripped of his former demonic power and now a fragile human, shrunk under her gaze. He knew he shouldn't have appeared before her, knowing how much he had angered her and the entire demon slayer corps.

but ever since his banishment, ever since (y/n) had saved him from the clutches of his own monstrous form, his mind was consumed by her. The sun, a bitter reminder of his former limitations, now felt like a gift granted by her.

"...(y/n)..." he breathed, his voice barely audible, "please, just for a moment, hear me out." he takes a step forward, stopping when he saw her eyes shift cautiously.

"why?" she countered, her gaze hardening, "what do you want from me, muzan?" she demands, crossing her arms.

he looks down, unable to meet her eyes, "I... I don't know." he hears her scoff, "..I just want to be near you, to see you smile, to hear your laughter. you gave me a second chance at life, and I think... I think I might be falling for you..." he was not shy of letting his thoughts known to the (h/c)-ette.

(y/n)'s brows furrowed, "falling for me? after all the pain you caused? The lives you took and attempted to take during our battle?" Her voice dripped with bitterness, "you think that's all forgotten? That a few...sunny days..can erase the nightmares we all lived through?" she angrily says.

muzan curls his hands into fists, "i understand," he says, "i know I've done terrible things. I don't expect you to forgive me, but..." he trails off, then sighed heavily, "i just can't help but think of you, (y/n). you're the only reason i'm still alive, the only reason I can face the sun."

(y/n)'s gaze softened slightly; curse her kindness!! all that fighting...and the fear that he might rise again after his banishment, and now, here he stood, a shell of his former self, looking at her with pleading eyes. who knew muzan is capable of such a face...—

"...i can't forget, muzan," she finally says, her voice softer now, "but...i am also not a person whom disregards someone's pleas." (y/n) hesitates, "as for your...feelings..towards me," she pauses, "i don't know if i feel the same way considering everything you've done. but maybe, we can start off as simple friends..?"
