Giyuu came back with two cups, one in which contains your hot chocolate and the other contained his choice of coffee.
He sat down by the bed and handed you your mug, "I hope I didn't make it too sweet for you," he says.
You blew on it several times before sipping on it, Giyuu was looking for a reaction. You smiled, "tastes the way exactly how mom makes it for me."
Giyuu took a sip of his coffee, sighing a little. "It's awfully boring today..." you say, taking another sip of your hot chocolate.
Giyuu glanced at you, "do you want to train at my Estate? That is, if they built me one..." he says.
You smiled, "I'd like that very much. But uh, I can't be exposed to the sun," you say disappointingly.
"It's fine. If they built a much bigger interior, then I can train you all day if you want," he says, putting his cup on the nightstand. You put your own beside his cup and stood up, Giyuu flinched. "Y-You shouldn't be walking yet..."
You shrug, "I feel fine tho?"
Giyuu raised a brow at your now dry bandages, "have your wounds stopped bleeding out?" he asked. You look at your bandages and then back to Giyuu, "I dunno," you simply reply.
Giyuu helped you take off the bandages and to your surprise, the wound from earlier was gone.
He disposed of the bloodied bandages in the trashcan by the foot of your bed as you looked in the mirror, "I'll be damned, God fixed me."
"Actually, you fixed yourself. I just don't know how in theory, but you did it. You actually regenerated," says Giyuu, shocked and happy at the same time.
You laughed as you touched the once injured part of your chest, "I think it must be food."
You look at Giyuu who was in deep thought. "I mean, eating is my favorite thing to do."
"And you have quite the appetite," he points out.
"Meh, so that simply just says that I should eat whenever I have an injury or some shit," you say, sitting back down on the bed beside Giyuu and took back your hot chocolate that has now cooled down, taking big sips.
"Would you like to train at 9 am-"
"Y/n! There you are!"
You and Giyuu look at the door to see Loid panting like crazy, his clothes were all dirty and he has a few cuts on his arms. "Told you the road was difficult to get through," you say, helping him on the bed.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" he asked as you wiped the dirt off his face, Giyuu was silent as he drank his coffee.
You scratched your head, "long story short, I became a demon," you shrugged.
Loid nods, "uh-huh, and I'm King Kong." You shook your head, "believe me, dad! Wait- here, look," you say, taking Giyuu's sword from the side and took it out of its sheathe, you look at him for permission. "Go ahead, I don't mind," he says in a small voice, taking another sip of his tea.
You smile and cut yourself by your arm, Loid took the sword from your hold and threw it on the ground. Before it could hit the ground, Giyuu caught it with his unoccupied hand by the handle and placed it on his lap. "What do you think you're doing? Are you nuts?" he asked you.
You held up your hand and took your hot chocolate, drinking what was left of it. Loid looked at your injury to see that it was slowly but surely healing, he was surprised. "What is this..?" he asked in disbelief, seeing that the bleeding has already stopped and that your wound has fully closed.
You finish the whole cup and set it down on the nightstand, giggling at Loid. "See? I told you," you say, showing him your fangs.
Loid thought you were only kidding, but this was a serious matter to him. "H-How in the world did you become a demon? Don't tell me you've eaten someone," he says worriedly, shaking you by your shoulders.
You shook your head and punched him by his chest, "hell no! I mean, I may have eaten a sparrow yesterday morning-"
"You what?!"
"Calm down, dad! Jeez!"
A knock resonated around the room, making Giyuu open the door as you try to explain to your father these crazy yet real happenings.
"I brought Y/n-san her dish, I hope I made it just as she likes it," says Aoi, holding a tray containing a bowl of rice and a bowl of the chicken cooked with potatoes and some cabbage. Giyuu took the tray and thanked her for bringing the food nice and hot.
"No problem. Just tell me if she wants seconds," she says, leaving. Giyuu bid goodbye and closed the door, placing the tray on the nightstand.
"I still don't understand, Y/n-"
"Well, if you try to listen to me then I'll be happy to make you understand- holy shit, that taste is fucking divine."
Loid raised a brow as you looked at the nightstand to see a simple meal made for you, "did Aoi cook it?" you asked, taking the spoon and tastes the broth.
Your eyes held a soft look at the overly familiar taste, "it tastes just like mama's cooking..." you say in a small voice, staring at the bowl of chicken.
Loid smiles and pats your back, "better eat up, you can explain to me back at headquarters when we get home," he says.
You smiled, "sure..."
You let Loid taste the broth, so he would have an idea how your biological mother would cook you your favorite meal from time to time.
Giyuu was sat down on the floor, cleaning his blade with a rag.
You sneezed while eating, spilling some of the broth on you. "Ah, you're so flimsy," said Loid, wiping the broth off you.
The remaining blood on Giyuu's sword made a small firework-like explosion that made him flinch, you and Loid look at him. "What was that?" Loid asked.
Giyuu sheathed his now clean sword, "must be your blood demon arts," he said.
"What color was it?" you asked him.
"Blue."
'As expected.'
Loid giggles, "blue has always been your favorite color. Aside from black and white," he says, you nudge his shoulder. "Why not? Blue is the color is peace, and I can't wait for the world to be at peace," you reply.
Loid looks at the closed window, "a world where spies and assassins are never needed..."
You sigh, "a world where demon slayers no longer have to sacrifice..."
Giyuu looked down, "a world where no one has to suffer pain..."
You laughed after the awkward silence that took place, "dreaming of a perfect world remains only a dream if no one is willing to take the risk and make a change," you say, Loid agrees with you.
Giyuu blinks, "I'm willing to take risks."
You smile, "me too."
"I guess that includes everyone working in the shadows. The demon slayers, all the agents," says Loid.
You stand up and put your tray on the nightstand, stretching your body. "If it's okay with you dad, can I spend the day here?" you asked him.
He shrugged, "I don't see why not," he said.
You hug him, "thanks, dad."
Giyuu put his blade on his belt and sat down with you. Loid got a call from the Handler that he has a mission, another exchange was going to be made and he has to be there to take back the information about to be given away.
Loid left you in Giyuu's care.
"I'm bored," you say, staring at the ceiling with your head at the foot of the bed, swimming your feet back and forth. Giyuu was sat beside you, he looked at you, "would you like to start training?" he asked.
You jump up the bed, "yes please."
Giyuu smiled and took off his Haori, "hold this for a while," he said, giving it to you as he made his way to the closet. "Sorry, wait a bit here," he said, disappearing almost an instant and came back with thick samurai pants.
"Use these. You'll burn with Kocho's patient robes, they aren't thick enough to protect you from the sun," he says.
He opened the door, "get changed, I'll wait for you outside," he said, closing the door.
You smile and started to dress up.
"I'll be damned, these pants are part of the demon slayer uniform," you say, tightening the belt around your waist and put on your footwear. You put on Giyuu's Haori and twirled.
"Alright," you say, walking out the door and saw Giyuu leaning his back on the wall in the hallway.
He pushed himself back up and held your hand, "let's go."
