- mist :p

So suddenly, Muichiro then proceeded to flip me onto his back. "wh-what are you doing?!" He calmly replies with, "carrying you to the mountain."

"i-it's okay...I can walk...you d-don't have to carry me..." i muttered. "I know you're tired, you can rest." he mumbles, continuing walking towards the mountain. "b-but..." I mutter. "I won't force you, if you want to walk by yourself" he says pausing, indicating that I can get off his back. I didn't want to embarrass myself and say I want to stay...I do but...I don't to make him think I'm weird...so I proceeded to say "s-sorry..." still on his back, blushing. "mhm" he hums in response. i get off his back and walk along with him shyly, i intertwine my two index fingers together nervously. i never really got the chance to really walk with him personally. silence fills between the two of us. well this is awkward...

As we were reaching the mountain, kanao speaks. "woahhhh...this place is beautiful" she says with shimmering eyes. "wowww..." Aoi gasped in amazement. I saw the tall mountain and felt happy, tired, but at the same time, I was still plenty energized. "iM gOinG tO dIe!!!!" Zenitsu whines, still glued stuck to Nezuko. Tanjiro reassured him that he would die, and we all headed up the huge rock.

I was in a daze, looking at the beautiful sky and the view while hiking up the mountain. getting lost in my own head, which wad never cleared of the thought of muichiro...

*yawn* come to think of it, i'm still pretty tire-

* s l i p *

my heart skipped a beat. I tried gripping on something, but nothing was around...nothing was close enough.

but just before I could fall down, muichiro held onto my wrists firmly and pulled me up. "...are you okay?" he asked with his normal monotone voice. "..yeah thank you m-muichiro..." even if he hadn't showed any emotion towards me...I felt butterflies in my stomach. It felt like my stomach had flipped upside down... his gentle hands pulled me up, more, helping me stabilize.

Narrators POV

She was staring at him slightly blushing. he turned around, continuing to walk up the mountain. She dropped a sweat realizing he didn't have a tiny clue she liked him. it was a relieving feeling, knowing he didn't even think about her having a crush on him. but he still hadn't showed any emotion towards her, which made her wonder if he was even interested what so ever...

They all finally got on the top of the mountain, sitting down admiring the clouds and sky. suddenly, kanao said, "everyone we should take a picture! i took my camera with me!"

Nezuko: "yeah! Let's go! We'll take one picture for everyone!"

Zenitsu: "yessss~~~ I agree with Nezuko channn~~~"

tanjiro: "okay lets take it!"

Y/n laughs, and walks over to take the group photo. kanao set the timer on the camera and ran back. as she ran back, kanao accidentally bumps into tanjiro causing a domino affect. tanjiro bumps into zenitsu, zenitsu strikes against Nezuko, Nezuko nudges inosuke, inosuke pushing Aoi a little too hard, causing y/n to hit muichiro softly...

Y/n's head collides with Muichiro's arm, although he didn't think much of it.

the camera takes the picture...

zenitsu ran over to it and grabbed the picture. Zenitsu giggles, putting his hand on his mouth. everyone was confused for a little. "Haha! Look at Y/n and Muichiro! Their so cute together!" He says laughing afterwards. Y/n's eyes widened, and a pink color covered her cheeks. Nezuko runs over to see what he was talking about, and the rest of the group also did so, not long after her. Y/n was shocked. "u-um..." she whisper yells. She blushed 10 times more, when everyone had ran over to see the picture. Her cheeks were heated and she was fuzzy inside. Nezuko giggles with zenitsu, and says " but look at tanjiro and kanao~~~"

"Hey! D-don't drag us into this..." tanjiro states, clearly happy his little sister had pointed that out. meanwhile, y/n looks at Muichiro, to see his reaction to what zenitsu had said about the two of them...He was slightly flustered but he still showed his calm face. She got a tingly feeling in her heart...he showed the tiniest amount of emotion!

Y/n's POV

i gasped on the inside, mui actually showed a little of his emotion. I smiled, unconsciously, at the sight.

"what are you smiling at y/n?" inosuke asked as he walked over to me...
