Cold Breeze|| Sanemi x Reader

sorry for the lack of post, I have no idea why it has taken me like 2 YEARS to finish this LOL. (still haven't 😎)

Y/N POV
Sanemi drank the tea I made him while I soaked a rag in warm water for his head. He'd asked for more tea, and so I did go make it... 

I stood there waiting for the water to heat up for like 5 minutes. . .

 When I came back it seemed he'd fallen asleep, so I poured the STEAMING hot tea all over him *** JK JK

I set the tray aside and put the wet rag on his forehead. I stared at him, my eyes lingering all over his face. 

He's beautiful in the most exotic way. 

How the freak does this guy got better looks than me... 💀

I sighed, averting my gaze to the open window, the scent of lavenders filling the room. I breathed in the fresh air. A part of me was glad his trap was shut because whenever I'd get home from being somewhere, he'd immediately question me and get mad for no reason. But it was oddly quiet at the same time. He'd always be up training or sparring with another one of the pillars, mainly Obanai. 

Suddenly, there was a knock, snapping me out of my thoughts. I got up, leaving his room and going to the door. I opened it, meeting Shinobu's gaze. "Oh, hey, Shinobu, what brings you here?" I waved, a smile forming on my face. "Good morning, Y/N, Master Oyakata is requesting your presence." She said, returning the smile.

"Oh! Okay, --Hold on, let me get my shoes." I responded, wondering what the Master could want since he hadn't talked to me since... I was brought in. (sorry if he did, I am not rereading my story. 💀) I slipped on my shoes, and also put my hair up quickly.

I followed her out of the house, catching up to her with a small smile. 

"So, how's life with the hot head?" She asked me, since we hadn't really talked all that much in awhile. "It's fine, he's currently sick, which is kinda refreshing. I don't need him barking in my face 24/7." I laughed. 

"Do you need any medicines?" 

"Oh, no, it's just a common cold, he's sleeping, but thank you." 

Shinobu nodded. "Heh, only Sanemi would've let Kanae baby him like that..." Shinobu faintly smiled. 

I nodded out of curiosity, wondering who Kanae was, but I didn't ask.

"You resemble her, . . . kind hearted, loyal..." Shinobu said staring at me, her gaze soft. I stared back, noticing her eye pattern in more detail, I never notice her bug eyes, they were so small, and pretty. 

We were nearing Demon Slayer Headquarters. 

For the remaining 5 minutes, we talked about other stuff. She had noticed me and Giyuu became friends. She was happy that I did because she knew he had a hard time making some, and didn't really need her buzzing in his business. (Get it? Cause she's a BUG. Ok sorry gang I'll let you read.)

We reach HQ, and there waited Master Oyakata Sama. Shinobu kneeled, then left after she'd escorted me. 

"Long time no see." (Wait I shouldn't say that... Cause yk... LOL IM SORRY

"It's been awhile, greetings Ms. L/N." He greeted. I greeted him back, a bit awkwardly.

"As you know, it's been a long 8 months, but we've gathered a few savings for you." He started, "106,302 yen, ($700) It will be enough to afford an apartment and food for a few years. There is a village nearby, it provides all the necessities needed." He said with a smile.

My mind was a bit blank. The thought of leaving this place after all of the things I'd experienced... Was weird. How could I just go live alone? But it would be rude to turn this down... 

. . .

I walked back to the Shinazugawa residence, thinking about what it be like without him around. Even though he was annoying, he still ended up caring for me, despite his saying "I don't give a rats ass about you." 

When I got back, he was magically up and feeling better...? He glared at me as I approached the terrace. His eyes darted toward the money in my hands, then back up at my face. "Where did you go." He asked, as usual. 

"I.. Master Ubuyashiki asked for me." I responded. Sanemi's expression remained stoic. He dropped his wooden sword that he used to practice, slowly walking towards me. I remained still, curious of what he was doing. 

Unexpectedly, his arms wrapped around me, his embrace tight but not enough to hurt me. "You can't leave, I won't let you." He mumbled, his brows furrowed. (I swear if I get a comment.)

"What? W-What are you doing?" I stammered, not expecting him to get all tacky on me. "I'm tired of your absence, just stay with me... Please.." He mumbled in an embarrassed tone, but his voice was thick (like that booty IM SORRY) with emotion. I was at a loss for words, is he corrupted or something? Not that I'm complaining. 😏😏 (just ignore me please, ive been writing this for a LONG time and its literally 3AM)

(em, this is really dramatic, yeh?) 

His usual sharp attitude was replaced by a raw vulnerability that I'd never seen. I didn't know what to do. I felt the roughness of his calloused hands as he gripped me tightly, as if I'd disappear if he let go. I could also feel the weight and little but noticeable urgency in his tone. 

He buries his head in the crook of my neck, my shirt getting a little damp. "You're the only one..." His voice muffled.

"The only one who tried to see things from my prospective.. You weren't judging.. You didn't.. see me as a monster as the others do..." He mumbled. 

I listened to him, my hand tracing circles on his back, feeling his muscles ease slightly. "You've shown me kindness, even when I knew damn well I didn't deserve it." 

I... I didn't think he thought of himself that way. I'd always thought he was just cocky and confident. Oh my gosh... My Shayla.... (im being so unserios mb)

"I.. love you... Y/N." He finally let the words slip out.

Silence. 

Y/N?
