The Dreaming Pillar ✩ Kimetsu no Yaiba

✨ Thirty-Seventh Dream✨

There's no special reason I've been updating consecutively. Just thought I'd do it since I'd probably be busier with the modules.

"Good morning (Y/n)." Muichirou greeted when he felt you stirring beside him.

"Good morning, Muichirou." you yawned, letting go of him as you up, rubbing your eyes.

"Although I bandaged your arms, I think you should visit the infirmary." he advised, getting up, feeling better after last night's confession.

"Alright, got it." you stood up, drowsily staggering to the door, only to lose your footing and fall backwards.

"Careful." his eyes widened, barely catching you.

You looked up, staring right into his eyes as you extended your hand, brushing a strand of his hair behind his ear. "Thanks."

You got up and left through the door, leaving alone a flustered Muichirou as you walked to the Butterfly Estate.

"(Y/n)-chan!" the next thing you knew you were pulled into a hug by the Love Pillar, Obanai and Sanemi following behind her.

"Morning, Mitsuri nee-san." you hugged her back, your docile state not really minding getting and showing affection.

Mitsuri gasped, pulling away as she stared at you, teary-eyed. "Did you just call me Nee-san of your own free will?!"

"Kanroji." Obanai spoke out, snapping Mitsuri out of her daze as she nodded, giving you an angry look.

"Where were you?" she crossed her arms, going Her best to fulfill her role as the big sister. "Do you know how worried Shinobu-chan was?"

"If this is a fucking joke then it isn't funny." Sanemi spat out angrily, glaring at you.

You raised your arms, showing them the bandages. "I fought a demon and passed out." you summed it up, not bothering to mention most of it since it'll only cause more questions and you just wanted to see Shinobu so you could get back.

Mitsuri gasped. "You poor thing! That's terrible!"

"Yeah, so if you co–" you paused, a large comforting hand rested on your head. You looked up to see the familiar wall—figure of the Rock Pillar.

"It's a relief to know you're alright."

"Gyoumei nii-san." you greeted without him even asking for it as you gave him a smile. "Good morning."

"Hold up." Obanai interrupted the moment as you stared at him. "As far as I know, everyone else asked. But he didn't."

You closed your eyes, your lips forming into a thin line as you tried to come up with an explanation that won't start a fight among them.

"Because Gyoumei nii-san is Nii-san #6." you stated. "And because I like him."

"Wait!!" Mitsuri yelled, crossing her hands into an X as her eyes widened. "Since when was there a sibling hierarchy?!"

"Since now." you stuck your tongue out, looking at Gyoumei who was crying tears of joy or just his normal tears.

"Then who's number #1?" Mitsuri added.

"It's obviously Giyuu nii-san."

"Where the fuck is that bastard?" Sanemi grumbled angrily. "I'm gonna fucking murder him when I find him." he said, stomping away angrily in search for Giyuu.

"That guy is demoted to Nii-san #6" you nonchalantly remarked, watching Sanemi curse while walking away.

"Can you please explain the sibling hierarchy?" Obanai requested, wondering whether his ranking went up with Sanemi being demoted.
