Enmu X Muzan

Love

Muzan POV

I'm nervous. I'm so nervous. But why? I have no reason to be. All i did in the past few hours was walking up and down, wall to wall trying to find something that would keep me busy. I'm...bored? I guess?.. .No. I'm just anxious. I'm VERY anxious. Shit! I'm the Demon Lord. I should keep my dignity, especially at times like this. And instead, here i am. Maybe i should read something. I pick a book i haven't finished yet off my shelf about flowers. I used it to find the blue spider lily. I open it on the page i folded as a sign to where i left off, and start reading. "No!" I throw the book over my shoulder making a loud noise as it falls on the ground. "This is not good! This just makes me more anxious!" I need something else. A story. Something that's not real. Escaping from reality, that's what i need right now. I pick the first sci-fi book that gets in my sight, and open it on the first page since i never read science fiction in general. I don't even know why i had it actually. I sit down on my couch and start reading.

Few minutes later

"NO!" I smack the book against the floor as i stand up. "This doesn't distract me either!" I start walking up and down again, cracking my fingers one by one. This had been going like this for a while.
I sent Enmu out on a mission a few days ago and he's on it right now. And every time he's on a mission I act like this. Since way too long. I even noticed i couldn't go as harsh on him as i did with the others. Once i jokingly told myself that it's almost like i was "in love" with him, and i can't stop thinking about it ever since. I tried killing him many times as well, but i just couldn't. That's also why i sent him on this mission. So i don't have to do it myself. I know that boy wearing hanafuda earrings is pretty strong. With his comerades and a hashira they will definetly be able to defeat Enmu. That's the perfect plan...Right? Or...not? Every time that kid swings his sword my heart skips a beat. I mean...i could still...save him...if i wanted... But i won't. I just have to get through this stress one more time, and it will be gone forever. Forever. Enmu will be gone forever. And i will never see him again. Never. That should be...perfect...
Tanjiro swings his sword, very close to Enmu's neck.
I stop walking. I froze. He swings it again, almost beheading him. The next thing i know, i'm wearing my coat, standing in front of my door closing it behind my back. I haven't blinked since the first swing. I start walking. Faster and faster. I hear a biwa sound, and i'm already on the rails. As soon as my feet touch the ground i start running as fast as i can. And faster. Why am I doing this?? Doesn't matter. If i want to find out what i feel about him, i have to let my emotions control me this time. I reach out to the pole on the back of the train and grab it, pulling myself up. I jump on the top of the train, and start running again, faster than ever. I still haven't blinked. I can already hear the sounds of the battle. Thinking about the fact he could lose makes my legs go even faster. I can see them now. The kid and a hashira in a butterfly patterned haori. I'm almost there! The girl sticks her sword in Enmu's flesh, making a deep cut. Enmu is unable to regenerate, and i can already see him losing control over his actions. The boy holds up his sword and starts running. I kick the girl off the train, and right before the kid could strike i push him off too. I would've LOVED to make my entrance more dramatical, but i had to act fast this time. Enmu is already in his original form, with a deep wound running from his neck to the right side of his chest through his collar bone. I run over to him. He's struggling to breathe and completely unable to speak. I take off my coat and wrap it around him since he wasn't wearing anything. I take a good look at the wound ,tho it can only be one thing if he can't regenerate. Wisteria. That filthy little bitch poisoned him! I wasn't expecting that so all i can do is slow down the poison by giving him more of my blood. I stick my nail right in the wound so it catches up with the poison faster. "Hang in there!" I tell him concerned. He makes an uncomfortable face due to the feeling, but it changes to confusion as he gets used to it. I then remove my suit too and press it on his neck with pressure. I turn around and lean him to my back. He doesn't resist, with his left arm he embraces my torso. I hold his thighs tightly, then stand up and hop off the train in a nearby forest.
I run again. Since i can't let Nakime know i was heading back to the Infinity Castle, i just run over a spot where i know is an entrance to it. I tighten my grip on Enmu's legs as a tear appears in my eyes. He's already passed out. I can see the entrance already. I jump inside, and the second Nakime notices me, she sends me to my room. Good girl.
As i arrive, i lay Enmu on my couch, and run over to a shelf where i keep many chemicals, such as an antidote for smaller dose of wisteria (i was too lazy to make up what that was, so, yh, just some antidote). I inject it in his neck, and pray for it to work. I pick him up and take him to my bedroom. I lay him down, then go find something he could wear while he's asleep. It will probably be a while till he wakes up. I find a kimono he could use. I lift his head up and sit down. He's so light. I lean him against my chest, remove my coat and start dressing him up. It is hard for two reasons, firstly, because he's asleep, and secondly because i could look at his body all day. But i don't want him to wake up and find me examening his naked body, so i take a deep breath and get him dressed.
When i'm finished, i lay his head on a pillow and tuck him. I run my fingers through his hair. It's so soft and shiny. I brush it out of his face. I kiss his forehead. "Sleep tight" i whisper in his ear softly as i caress his head once more, then quietly leave the room so he could rest.

Maybe this is love...
