❀ Flower Shop ☾ - Tomioka Giyuu

Chapter 22

"Moshi Moshi!"

I froze in terror of the high pitched voice. Slowly turning around, I say, "Ah, Shinobu! Haha what a coincidence seeing you here!"

"Ah, Y/N and Sanemi, aren't you two suppose to be home?"

"I-"

"We were allowed to roam around for a bit." Sanemi cuts me off.

Shinobu looks at us suspiciously, "Oh really.. That's weird I remember being sent here to look for you two though.. hmm.."

Well. I guess we couldn't save ourselves this time. We practically gave up when we realized Giyuu was in front of us.

Giyuu pulls my arm standing me up. "Seriously Y/N?" he says.

"What?" I saw walking with him.

"I told you to stay inside but why don't you ever listen to me?" he scolds, "you do know that I'm doing this because I care about you right?"

"Yeah yeah, I get it.." I sigh in defeat.

He pats my head and kisses my forehead, "Listen to me this time, alright?"

How could I say no to that? I stay calm but really on the inside I'm screaming. Giyuu was always caring to me but he never did those little gestures that showed it. I was glad he was finally opening up and being more comfortable around everyone. It seemed like he was isolating himself from everyone, I hated seeing him like that.

We arrive back at my small home and he leads me inside. 

"I have to go, take of yourself Y/N." he says and gives me the warmest hug.

I was quite confused but relieved. Being a demon and not seeing my comrades was hard enough, but not seeing the one I love is harder. I just wished a was able to magically become human again, get rid of the monstrous bother in our world and marry him. Oh how easy life would be. 

I look on the table beside my couch to see the rose Giyuu had given me when we went to that flower shop. I've been trying to keep it alive but it seems like it was dying. I sat beside it and sighed. 

"That's me right now. I understand you flower, we're quite alike aren't we?" 

The petals were becoming lifeless, it no longer being its beautiful vibrant red but instead a dark gloomy maroon. Some petals even lying on the table, inanimate. 

Roses were a symbol of love and passion, right? Then how come it's sitting there, taking it's last breath? Is it becoming hatred and resentment?

Isn't that my relationship with Giyuu?
