☁︎︎ Third POV

Y/n stared at his hand that was on the flesh flooring. He listed it up slightly, blankly staring at the flesh that stuck to his skin before breaking. He was currently in the flesh cocoon that Muzan had created. Yes, he was basically dragged into the cocoon to actually watch Tamayo get absorbed and Muzan change into his final form.

Y/n couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly in disgust seeing that flesh surround him. Honestly he wouldn't have minded if the flesh was slowly eating at him, but the flesh just refused to even take a strain of hair, it annoyed him.

"Aww what's with that face, my love?" Muzan cooed as he lifted Y/n's chin up, "No need to look so sad, you look beautiful so no need to have a frown, my dear."

Y/n slightly glared at Muzan, his eyes traveled to the corner of the flesh 'room'. There, Tamayo was laying down, slowly being devoured by the flesh around him. Y/n looked away, he didn't want to see his second mother like that.

Tamayo couldn't move from where she was laying. She couldn't even to look up at her son, she couldn't do anything, she couldn't even talk. However, she could hear everything, every love-sick word that Muzan said to Y/n angered her to the core. But it could not be helped, since she was motionless.

Muzan kissed Y/n's forehead with love, "You belong to me now, my empress. I'll make sure you are safe and loved dearly by me. You will not need anyone else but me now, doesn't that sound wonderful?"

"Enough of your sweet talk," Y/n snapped, "Just kill me now, Mu—"

Y/n was cut off by his own coughing. He felt something bubble up in his stomach to his throat, but it also scratched very bit of his guts. He coughed and he hack until he puked up blood. Muzan was there, rubbing Y/n's back in a comforting manner, but he had a small smile on his face, knowing what this meant for the slayers in his castle.

"What the—" Y/n coughed out.

Y/n gripped onto the flesh flooring as he tried his best to get rib of whatever it was in his throat. He hacked and choked until finally, after a painful minute or two, Y/n coughed up a butterfly pin. Blood was absorbed by the flesh but the butterfly pin stayed.

Blood leaked out from Y/n's mouth, dripping onto the bloody pin below. (E/c) eyes stared at the pin wide eyed, it was a (f/c) pin that Shinobu had given him a while back. The pin was still in good shape, but the blood horrified it. Y/n couldn't help but shake.

"Ah~ It seems like a pillar is down," Muzan stated as he rubbed Y/n's back in a comforting manner, "And it's a butterfly pin, it seems like that insect pillar is dead, but it was bound to happen." He chuckled to himself, "She seemed like the weakest out of everyone, poor thing probably didn't even pick up a good enough fight."

Y/n felt his eye twitch, however, he kept as calm as he could. He sat back down on his knees as he gently held onto the butterfly pin. He stared at it thinking about all the times Shinobu has spent her time with him.

"Muzan," Y/n said, "Do you have any sort of humanity in you?"

Muzan's smirked dropped slightly, "Hm?"

Y/n looked at Muzan from the side of his eyes, "Do you even have sanity within you? You say you're high and mighty but a ruler with no sanity is deemed unfitting. With that said, what about my sanity? Have you ever considered about my mentality? If I go insane, I will not fit to be a ruler by your side.

"This isn't some fiction book where characters can go through so much trauma and not have their mentality affected. This is real life. No human can bare with what is happening. Have you ever thought of that, Muzan?
