Stone Hasira

Miyuki's POV

Sanemi scrambled awake with a groan. I ruffled his hair, ceasing out the kiseru, and asked him, "How do you feel?"

He opened his eyes and looked at me, and I smiled at him. "Does your body hurt?" I asked.

Sanemi grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me close. "W-what?" I asked, flushed.

"Hm..." He chuckled against my lips. "Shouldn't I be the one asking that?" he teased, and I chuckled back as he kissed my lips. 

"You've been sleeping for three days..." I said pulled away and got up, putting on my kimono while he sat up.

"No wonder I feel like I just fought an Upper Moon," he said, rubbing his head. "I took care of your paperwork, though. Sorry for forging your signature—couldn't help it, it was too easy!"

Sanemi hummed thoughtfully. I heard him get up and felt him kiss my shoulder as I pulled up my kimono, putting on the obi, tying it tight.

"I got a message from Himejima," I said, feeling his lips leave some marks on my neck. 

"Tanjiro and I both received a formal reprimand from the higher-ups. I've been told that my training under the Wind Hashira is suspended, and I'm banned from going near you."

Sanemi chuckled, and I looked at him as he caressed my cheek. "I guess that's as far as my luck goes," he said.

I cupped his cheeks and kissed his temple. "Get some rest, you'll be fine," I said, opening the door. "You're leaving already?" he called out.

I nodded, looking back. "If you feel weird with your body for more than a week, tell me. I'll come immediately."

Sanemi gripped my hand, as if asking me not to leave. "What if I lie and call you simply?" he asked with a smirk.

I sweatdropped. "Please don't make me have extra work," I muttered, and he chuckled, but there was an unease in his laugh.

"Miyuki..." Sanemi voice called out, almost hesitant. I turned back, catching the strange look in his eyes as he said, "Have breakfast before you leave..."

I blinked, confused by the sudden shift in his tone, but I forced a soft smile. "Sure," I replied, turning away as my heart pounded with unanswered questions. 

As I walked down the corridor, something gnawed at me. 

Why is he acting so weird?

And then it hit me, and my heart clenched. "I'm such an idiot!!" My eyes widened with realization, I hadn't replied to his confession yet, and before I knew it, I was rushing back. 

"Sanemi!" I called out breathlessly just as he was stepping into his room. "Miyuki?" He turned, confusion flashing across his face, but I didn't give him time to ask.

I grabbed his face, pulling him down into a kiss that was filled with everything I couldn't put into words. "I love you," I whispered against his lips, my breath mingling with his.

"Miyuki..." His voice cracked with raw emotion, and suddenly, his hands were on my waist, pulling me in closer. 

"Mhmp!!" He kissed me harshly, as if he was afraid I might slip away, our chests pressing together as the intensity of the moment took over. 

I tilted my head, kissing him back just as fiercely, surprising him with the passion I hadn't shown before.

Sanemi flinched slightly, but then deepened the kiss, and for a moment, everything else melted away. The world narrowed down to just the two of us, desperate and clinging to this moment.
