(Also, I don't use curly quotes anymore they take more time, and it's easier to just stick with straight quotes!)
"So how have you been holding up? " he asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Well, crappy since I woke up..I guess? And you? " you asked.
"Well, same as always… but I kept thinking about you. And that... almost kiss" he said, scratching his neck and smiling nervously.
"Well, we could've kissed but-"
He cut you off "-Giyuu interfered, I know... But I can't help but imagine your lips on mine, you know? It's not every day I get to kiss someone as beautiful and weird as you..."
He was clearly avoiding your gaze while your whole face turned red.
"Okay so I'mma ignore that weird part and take that as a compliment, tuff guy," you said rolling your eyes and looking up at him.
"Well it kinda is? Maybe? I dunno alright?? But I was saying the truth..
y/n..you're..attractive. Physically and mentally. You have a wonderful personality. And great..REALLY great looks..who wouldn’t like you?"
You blinked. "...Uhm, my teachers—well that’s not the point! The point is are you trying to kiss me? "
He laughed nervously. "I mean… depends. Do I have a chance or are you gonna punch me? "
You tilted your head. "Depends. Are you gonna kiss me or make a weird speech again? "
He stepped closer and leaned down a bit. "No speeches. I Promise."
Your heart was going nuts at this point and your brain was screaming at you"Then do it, flame boy I dare you."
He blinked like he wasn’t expecting that, then smiled wide "Pfft- oh trust me darling i would..."
He leaned in, slowly, giving you enough time to pull away if you wanted to but you didn’t
His lips brushed yours, warm and soft, and for a moment everything felt like it paused. Just you and him.
When he pulled back, his grin was smug but his ears were red.
"Yup. Totally worth the wait!! "
You just stared. "Okay... okay that was... not bad."
"Not bad?? "he raised an eyebrow.
"Alright fine...it was good "you said, shoving him lightly and he laughed,cheeks flushed.
"Oh and!! I brought food!! I brought you f/f too!! "he said cheerfully and put the food beside you.
"Aww thanks! " you said as you started devouring the food. When you looked up, you saw him staring either at you or the food, you weren't sure. So you did something you never did before. "Want some? " you asked.
"Why would I eat that when I could eat something more delicious like you?" he said and quickly covered his mouth. "I'm so sorry!! It slipped! " he laughed nervously.
"Pfft-!!you're getting a bit too confident," you chuckled, your cheeks burning red.
"Well I can't really help it when I'm with you" he said with a small smirk.
"Whatever. Let me finish my food. "you grumbled and went back to eating.
He watched you for a second, head tilted. "You always eat like that? "
You paused. "Like what? "
"Like the food's about to run away? "
You glared. "Shut up. I was in a coma for days...I'm starving."
"Fair," he said, raising his hands like surrender "Still cute though."
You squinted at him. "If you keep calling me cute every five minutes I'm gonna throw this rice ball at you!! "
"Do it" he dared with a grin. "I'll still thank you"
You grabbed a rice ball slowly and he stood up so fast. "Okay okay I'm sorry!! "
You giggled and shook your head. "Tch that's what I thought..."
He sat back down, still smiling. "You’re something else..y/n."
He patted your head and started heading toward the door.
"Well excuse me y/n I've got duty!!" he said as he waved at you.
"Yea yeah bye!! " you yelled after him and went back to devouring the food. Just then, Mitsuri walked in with Obanai right behind her.
"Y/N!!! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!! " she cried out, dropping her stuff and running toward you. She hugged you in a grip so tight you couldn’t even breathe.
"MITSURI I MISSED YOU TOO BUT I DON'T WANNA DIE!! " you yelled, your voice muffled.
"Yeah Mitsuri. Let go. She doesn't wanna get suffocated by your chest" Obanai muttered as he tried pulling her off you.
"KYA I'M SO SORRY!! I DIDN'T NOTICE Y/N!! I WAS TOO EXCITED!! " she squeaked, finally letting go.
"It's alright. I don't mind as long as I'm getting suffocated by you" you mumbled and flopped back on the bed.
"So! Feeling any better?!" she asked with her usual cheerful grin.
"Crappy?" you replied flatly.
"Mhm..." Obanai hummed, then added, "Must be rough laying here all alone."
"No actually! The rest of the Hashira and the others keep visiting me, so I'm not THAT lonely" you replied without thinking. You didn’t notice the way both their faces slightly twitched with jealousy.
"Oh... that's nice..." Mitsuri said with a little pout as she gently laid beside you. "So can I get my cuddles and kisses like you promised me?"
You looked at her innocent puppy eyes and smiled. "Yeah. Come here" you said, wrapping your arms around her and pulling her in close.
Obanai just stood there silently, but the way he was gripping his sleeve gave him away.
You noticed and patted the empty spot beside you. "Come here..."
He didn’t move at first. Just stared at you. Then slowly, with a low grumble, he sat down beside the bed back straight, arms crossed.
"I'm not laying down" he said.
"Alright, suit yourself" you smirked
You kept your arm wrapped around Mitsuri, who was nuzzled into your side like you were her personal pillow.
"Y/n you smell so good.." she mumbled.
You blinked. "Girl I’ve been in this bed for days are you okay?? "
She giggled. "I don’t care! You still smell like flowers and... something sweet."
"Flowers and huh?? What kinda combo is that?! "
Mitsuri raised her head and smiled at you like you just said the funniest thing ever. "It’s YOU!!! "
You looked at Obanai who was sitting by the bed still as a rock, arms crossed, eye twitching. He was regretting agreeing to come with her.
"You okay over there buddy?" you smirked.
"I'm fine."
"You sure? You're gripping your sleeve like it's about to run off."
"I'm. Fine."
Mitsuri leaned in closer, putting her hand on your cheek. "You know... while you were unconscious I kept thinking about you... a lot."
You blinked at her, cheeks heating up a bit. "Oh?"
"Yeah... I missed your voice... your pretty face... and your hugs... and maybe... a little bit of your lips too…" she said, eyes sparkling.
You froze. "WAIT WHAT-"
Obanai stood up so fast the chair screeched. "Alright. We’re leaving."
"But I just got comfortable!!" Mitsuri whined, clinging to you again.
"Too bad" he muttered.
You were trying not to laugh at how red his ears were.
"Oh come on Iguro...don’t be jealous," you teased.
"I'm not jealous."
You turned to Mitsuri, who was still smiling innocently. "He’s totally jealous."
She nodded, whispering loud enough for him to hear "He's cute when he gets like this."
"You two are unbearable" he said, but he didn’t leave.
Instead, he stayed standing there… glaring at the blanket. Maybe if he stared hard enough, he’d set it on fire?
Mitsuri sighed and looked up at you again. "So...about those kisses? " As soon as she said that obanai's snake actually hissed.
You chuckled and grabbed her cheeks, planting loud kisses all over her face.
"Mwah!! Mwah!! Mwah!! "
She squealed with laughter, giggling as she tried to squirm away. "Y/N! Stoppp, it tickles! "
From the corner of your eye, you didn’t notice the way Obanai was glaring daggers at Mitsuri,who glanced at him through her lashes and gave him a smug little smile before leaning closer to you with a pout. "Y/N, more kisses, please? "
You gasped dramatically. "You want more? Aren’t you spoiled, huh? "
You tackled her with another round of kisses, snuggling into her like she was a giant plushie. Mitsuri giggled louder, hugging you tightly and stealing a kiss to your cheek.
Obanai’s eye twitched.
"I can hear you fuming, y'know," you mumbled into Mitsuri’s hair, still clueless about the silent battle going on behind you.
"I’m not fuming" Obanai said, stiffly.
You rolled over and patted the empty space beside you. "Come here then. I still have kisses left. Sharing is caring."
He stared "Hell No."
Mitsuri gave him a teasing grin. "You sure~~? Y/N’s the best cuddle buddy! "
You made your eyes big and dramatic. "I’ll be gentle, Obanai!!! Pinky Promise! "
Silence.
You reached your hand toward him and wiggled your fingers. "Come on, I don't bite. Unless you’re into that? "
Obanai hesitated...then slowly, very slowly, walked over and sat down stiffly beside you. He kept his eyes down, ears pink.
You scooted closer and leaned into him with a warm smile "See? Not so scary."
When you gently rested your head on his shoulder, he didn’t pull away. He just...sat there rigid but letting it happen.
After a pause, he mumbled under his breath..."One kiss. Just one. "
You blinked slowly "Huh?"
He didn’t look at you, but his ears turned a deeper red "Just one. That’s it."
You grinned wide and kissed the top of his head, right between the stripes of his hair. "Mwah!! "
Obanai didn’t say anything, but he didn’t move either. Kaburamaru slithered closer, curling lightly around your wrist..
