<< giyuu pov >>

i woke up feeling a weight on my arm . i look over remember the series of events that happened yesterday . i couldn't help but smile . she might like obanai but i was thankful to be able to still wake up next to her . i took a closer look at her , admiring her features . it was a rare opportunity .

" what are you staring at " her eyes shot open , catching me red handed . she let out a raspy laugh while stretching her arm . i wish we could've spent more time together but unfortunately , we were interrupted a knock on my door . i mentally groaned , easily went to get it . ' who would be here this early '

to my surprise it was kocho . " good morning tomioka ~ i just want to ask if you've seen y/n shes- " " what " she replied , overhearing her name being called . " ara ara~ oyakata sama wants to see her now . " kocho informed . " only me ? " i stood there watching them their conversation . " yep , be there soon . " she said before leaving my estate .

" why would oyakata sama wants to see me . " it was obvious she was worried .  i had no clue either . " see u later . " i said slightly pushing her out of my estate . " are you indirectly kicking me out . " she glared at me while i only replied with a " i don't want you to be late "

" fine , later giyuu ! " she enthusiastically waved , heading out . my heart was contented . even if it was a short time , they were still precious memories .

<< y/n pov >>

i slide open the door to oyataka sama's room . " oyataka sama you call me here for- " i was taken aback . the person i least wanted to see , was there kneeling infront of the master himself . coincidentally , it was just me and him . my heart rate increased at the scene ahead of me . its been so long since i've actually heard from him . " have a seat y/n " the master invited me over . " w-what is obanai doing here "

oyakata sama just smiled . i calmed myself down alittle as i was seat beside obanai . i couldn't help but feel butterflies around him . ' after all these he is the one that still gives me butterflies . '

" thank you for coming here , y/n and obanai . you've been invited here because i just wanted to have a chat with the both of you . " i felt sick and anxious . i was scared . in my mind the only person i could think of was giyuu . i wanted him to be here . his presence was comforting .

after all he was my escape from reality .

" i've heard that some stuff happened between the both of you . am i right . " the both of us didn't dare to speak up . my throat felt dry . i couldn't speak . obanai realised that i was going to saying anything soon , so he took the initiative to respond by a simple ' yes '  " i might not be clear of what happened but i hope the both of you will clear all the doubts you have of each other . as hashiras , i can't afford to have you become enemies . i need you to work together and defeat demon . i hope you understand that . " i was trying to hold back my tears . i never meant for any of these things to happen between obanai and i .

" i understand " obanai again responded . all of these could have been avoided . maybe if i was less sensitive to what obanai said . maybe if obanai were to apologise to me . and maybe if obanai hasn't slept with mitsuri . " very well .  i will leave the both of you here for a few minutes . i need the both of you to clear up misunderstandings and problems that rise up to this . " i froze . i had no idea what obanai would be like.

would he ignore me ? would he actually try to fix things ? what if it's awkward . millions of questions flooded in my mind but with no answer . with that oyakata sama left us alone in the room . non of us dared to move we were still kneeling in our fixed positions . i swallowed hard . if he wasn't going to say anything i will . i master up all my courage to break the tensed atmosphere . " im sorry " i was surprised .

we both said it at the same time . i let out a nervous laugh . this was nothing like how we use to act . it felt like it was our first time meeting each other . oh how i miss the old him who i fell inlove with . over the years people change and i have to accept that .

" y/n you deserve someone that actually treats you right . " he mumbled behind his mask . even though it was soft i could still hear it . ' is he going to officially end it . ' " i know stuff happened but that isn't going to change the fact that i am inlove with you . " my tears fell onto the wooden floor , seeping into it and making a dark stain . my head was hung low .

i didn't dare to look at him . obanai used his hand to move the pieces of hair that was covering my face . "  i know i hate tomioka a lot but ... he deserves you . he can treat you right . i've seen the way you look at each other . you like him too don't you " he look at me with sorrow . ' do i ? ' 

" being with me will get you nowhere y/n . " my heart clenched even more . it hurt . " you will be happy with tomioka , im sure of it . " you finally decided to look at him only to see him staring at you with tears in his unique different coloured eyes . " but i won't be happier . " at this point i didnt care , i cried as loud as i could . obanai placed me on his shoulder , my tears staining his haori . he allowed me to calm down before making me up while he pulled his mask down in a swift moment attaching our lips together .

it was bittersweet feeling , knowing it might potentially be the last time i could ever kiss him like this . my eyes shut as more tears rolled down my cheek together with obanai's . our mixed tears drip onto the floor making mark.

' he's going to be a hard one to move on from . '
