Saved (bsd x gn!child!reader)

Going for a walk

You didn't usually wander around the base by yourself but today you were left alone for the first half of the day. Chuuya had left a note on the fridge saying that Kouyou would bring lunch and that there was a bowl of cereal on the kitchen bench, you would just need to add the milk. You also found that Gin would be looking after you. You reach into your pocket and squish the knife she had given you.

After finishing your usual morning routine of breakfast, clothes and then teeth you sat on the couch bored. Watching TV wasn't the same without Chuuya looking over your shoulder and pointing out everything that was wrong with your cartoons.

"That's not how you use a gun now he's going to get captured."

"HOW DID HE SURVIVE THAT?"

"Did she just? I thought this was a kids show..."

"*Sniff* She shouldn't have died. *sniff* She was my favourite character and they just killed her off with the lamest unrealistic death ever! Like *sniff* She's stabbed someone before but then suddenly she loses her strength! Stupid cartoon logic."

"Since when did he have super powers! He could have saved her. What the fuck!?"

You groan and lay down on the couch staring at the ceiling until a familiar face looks down at you, blocking your view of the ceiling.

"Shiro move. You're ruining my being upset." You groan as the demon's body shakes as if he was chuckling before pointing at the TV. You turn to look where he was pointing. "What about the TV?"

He facepalms and goes closer to the TV to point at a specific character. You look at Shinobu and then the character confused. The said character was sneaking around dark hallways trying not to be caught.

"You want to watch? Well, I wasn't watching it." You say and Shinobu purses his "lips" (at least that's what it looked like. He didn't have a mouth, just a thin line/black void.) He points at you then to the character and then mimics walking with two fingers. "You want me to walk like that character?"

He takes a deep breath before pointing to the screen again. He used his other hand to write in the air "go explore".

Your mouth forms into an O shape. "But I can't do that. Not without Chuuya-san."

Shinobu pinches the bridge of his nose before floating over to you and points to a bag lying next to the door. You stand up and mumbles words of protest as Shinobu tries to push you towards the bag. You notice the piece of paper on the bag and smile as you recognise the handwriting.

Thought you might need this if you go outside with Gin. There are snacks and water in here but don't eat them all at once. Gin also doesn't have keys so there are keys in the bag if you leave the apartment. The purple coloured one is for this door.

Your smile grows as you pick up the bag, which you realise is more of a satchel snatched right from a mail man or newspaper boy, but made with fabric instead of leather, and sling it over your shoulder. You turn to Shinobu.

"What next?" You ask, he just nods and floats through the door. You take a deep breath and reach up to the handle. Opening the door, you look around the familiar hallway and take a step outside. Realising nothing had happened you take another step. And another. And another. You get more confident with each step before quickening your pace.
