Everyone was having the time of their lives! We laughed and had so much fun! I would love to go on a trip with them again sometime! not to mention, holding muichiro's hand all day was nice.... 030

Tanjiro: "huh? You guys...it's already 6:03?!?!"

Y/n: "what-"

Muichiro: "huh...? really?" Mui tilted his head to the side

Aoi: "wait....wait wait wait, the fireworks! They're gonna start at 6:15 Hurry we gotta get there fast!"

the sun was already setting?...time has really flew by...

as we all panted, after running so much, I giggled

Y/n: "woowee...heh. That was sure a big work out-" I mumble to everyone and look to my side...

muichiro was also tired...his face was right beside mine, so I could feel his warm breath.

he was bent over, his hands on his knees...

I used one of my hands to move my hair out of my face...

He looked over to me and slightly smiled...since when did he start doing stuff like that?...huh! Oh! A thought had popped up into my mind— I guess he is deciding to open up to me?

my heart skipped a beat, and my cheeks glowed pink, as I cover my mouth with the back of my hand...oh no...this might become a new habit...

a hand shows up in my view, it was muichiro's! I grab onto it, as I know what he is suggesting a lot better now. I hope we grow to be better...

I smiled, and nodded! Alright...! Muichiro looked a bit confused at my expression, but I just grinned and lead him by his hand. "L-lets go to the fireworks! O-okay?" I say blushing a bunch...I...I think I can show my feelings to him now!

I feel confident, yet not at the same time, but I won't let that bother me...!

he nods in response, as we catch up to the others...wait...? Where'd they go?

"huh?" I mumble looking side to side. I took my phone out to see if they had said anything before they left...

I didn't see anything so I messaged them.

in text messages...

Y/n ^0^: "where are you guys???"

: "YOU TOOK TOO LONG SO WE LEFT WITHOUT YOU HAHA"

~Nezukochannn: "eeek! Not true!!! We separated into our usual groups"

I quickly went and bought mochi and some candies from the shop behind us...when I came back, Muichiro sets the blanket he bought earlier today on the grass, and gestures me to sit beside him. I quickly hopped down...I smiled with probably a lot of blush on my cheeks...

I look up at the night sky as the fireworks bloomed...they looked like beautiful flowers...

I felt at peace...Muichiro and I...I want to be honest with my feelings...

even if I say stuff like "we're just friends!" It doesn't mean that's how I feel...but I know that the thought of...

Crosses my mind each time I tell someone we're not together...

...because that's how I really feel!

"muichiro...?" I mumble still looking at the fireworks above us.

"hm?" He responds looking at me...

"I...love you..." I whispered under my breath.

for a second his eyes went wide...as if he was shocked from what I said...

with those words coming out of his mouth my heart cracked...

he...he didn't hear me...

It was my fault...I should've said it louder, right?

"oh um...I said I love the fireworks! d...don't you?" I smiled looking at him

why? Why couldn't I do it?...

I'm sorry, mui...but those words...were my feelings!

POV of Muichiro

did I really just hear Y/n say...no... I must've misheard...

am I hearing things?...I must be....

"I love you..." the words flooded into my head.

the thing I want her to say...to me...

am I being selfish?...

I look at her...

please...Y/n...if you really did say that...say it again...

if not...when I have the courage...I will...

it's....because, I love you, Y/n...

at first I never even knew what it meant to love someone like this...

It's still all so new to me...but...

these are my feelings, right?...

the fireworks were still bright in the sky...

suddenly, I wrapped my arms around Y/n, and put her head on my shoulder...as I hid my face in her shoulder.

"M...m-mui?????" She stuttered....I smiled sadly.

if she finds someone special to her...will our relationship...change?

Will I not get to...cuddle... her anymore?...

without thinking...again, I pull her in closer... i don't usually let this happen....only a few times...but I don't want to deal with it...this time, I'll let my feelings guide me.

she hugs me, wrapping her own arms around me...

"what's wrong, Mui? A-are you okay?..." Y/n asks me...

"sorry...am I ruining the fireworks?..." I say, as I was about to pull out from the hug, however she stops me...?

"It's okay, if you need me right now, I'm here..." she says patting my head...

my eyes went wide...

"Hey, Y/n..." I mumble as I snuggle on her shoulder...

"y-yeah?..." she responds

"when you get a boyfriend...will we still....be this close?" I ask as Y/n freezes...? Is that a no?

"o-of course mui! b-but I don't think I'll get a boyfriend any time soon..."

"hm?...why?" I wondered about it...

"I-I...u-uh...w-well...I g-guess...I'm interested I-in someone already....?" she says moving her hands back and forth behind me as if she was nervous.

"...ah...okay..." I say turning my head...who could it be?...

me and Y/n got to enjoy the fireworks for awhile after we hugged each other...

later....

the fireworks were over, and we headed to the restaurant to eat dinner. Everyone seemed like they had a great time...
