❀ Flower Shop ☾ - Tomioka Giyuu

Chapter 18

I kept my eyes close, deciding that I should just act like I wasn't awake. How am I suppose to react to that..? It felt like a dream; a dream where I was about to wake up. Giyuu continued to hold me in his arms till we both were fully asleep.

I slowly woke up on a futon in my bedroom. From what I remember, I was asleep with Giyuu on the couch. With Giyuu... Where did he go?

I got up and started walking around my house to see if I could find him. But it seemed he had left. I was slightly offended, why didn't he tell me he was leaving?

I sat down to drink a glass of water. I looked at the clock; 1 pm. I met with Shinazugawa at 11 am, before Giyuu dragged me home. My stomach continued to growl like it has been for at least a week. 

I've felt pretty useless since I killed Gnim. I've just been lounging around my house, not being allowed to leave my house. The housekeepers weren't here either, for their safety of course. I didn't miss them because of their cooking and cleaning, I missed them because they were really the most genuine people I knew. I loved talking to them while I'd help chop vegetables..

I washed my glass before I decided to sneak out again. I walked past my sword, I didn't think I'd need it since I was just walking. I open my door to leave when I see a taller figure at my door. 

"Shinazugawa! What're you doing here..?"

"Where are you going?" he asks with crossed arms.

"J-just a walk! Answer my question."

He hesitated before speaking, "Since you couldn't leave the house, I thought I'd just come here."

I stepped inside before I could respond. I closed the door before following him. 

I was touched how he would even come to my house..

"Okay so what did you want?" I stood while he sat on the couch.

"I'm getting impatient, let's just ask Oyakata-sama ourselves."

I was shocked since he usually never gets this impatient where he would ask Oyakata-sama..

"Well.. I won't object but is it too soon..?"

"No."

..

"Alright fine." I agree.

He stands up to head out, "We'll go when I tell you."

"Geez, okay. I'll see you soon then," I smile, closing the door.

--

"No."

"Giyuuuu!! Why though? What's so bad? Why can't I?"

"It's dangerous for you to be leaving the house right now. Wait till you have permission to go."

"Why do you think I'm asking you?" I pout.

He looks me dead in the eye, "Do I look like your guardian?"

I scoff and slump down. "I've been surviving all this time, I won't even do anything! I just want to go to the festival, it's only a few times a year!"

I sit up straight again, "I miss the dango there! Ahhh.. please Giyuu!"

He looked at me with sympathy, "Fine. I'll take you."

"Oh my gosh really!? Ah finally! Thank you thank you!" I screamed and hugged him.

Without even realizing, I had kissed him on the cheek. I sat back down and looked at him. 

His eyes were wide, most likely shocked. 

I didn't mean to.. but oh well, just move on..!

"Um.. I'm sorry.." I scratch my head.

"..it's okay.." he snapped out of it. "Do you have something to wear?"

"Mehhh, I'm just gonna wear this. I don't feel comfortable in anything else but my demon slayer uniform anymore.."

Giyuu stands up, "Alright, I'll be heading out now, don't leave."

"I won't, don't worry! I'll see you tomorrow!"

The second the door closed, I slapped my face with two hands, "You're an idiot."

That thought ran away quickly, and I happily skipped back to my room, hoping for a fun day the next day..
