"Muzan-sama! You came back! I've been waiting for you!"

"Mimi, I'm back. Did you wait long?"

"Not at all! I'm just glad that Muzan-sama is back. It's so lonely without you... "

"I see. I'll try to make it up to you. There's a festival tomorrow. I'll accompany you the whole night."

"R-Really..?"

"If it makes you happy."

"I'm happy as long as I'm with Muzan-sama!"

"That's..."

Nao woke up with a startle, feeling how fast her heart was hammering against her chest.

Was it a dream?

It felt so real. Nao started having these weird dreams since Muzan and her became intimate.

Although Muzan has stopped making advances, Nao was still uncomfortable at the idea of Muzan liking her.

Was Nao really that oblivious? Nao didn't want to assume things. She was so comfortable in Muzan's presence that Nao didn't think that they were crossing boundaries.

Besides, Nao doesn't have time for a relationship when she already has a suitor. Although she feels guilty because she could not deny the small attraction she feels towards Muzan, Nao has duties to fulfill and a name to uphold.

What would her brother think? Knowing that she was being intimate with a demon? It was bad enough that she befriended one, what would her brother think knowing that Nao was being inappropriate wih a man when she's not even married?

Nao felt her lips with her fingers, her cheeks flushing slightly as she remembered the kiss that they shared together.

It felt amazing and warm. Nao felt so warm inside as they shared a kiss. It felt right for her and Nao has never felt complete in her whole life when Muzan kissed her.

His lips were as soft as they look and his tongue was demanding against hers, a soft squeeze on their intertwined fingers made her part her lips. He didn't waste anytime on tasting her as he explored her mouth with his wet appendage. Nao squeezed their hands tighter as she closed her eyes and savored the sweet pleasure he was giving her.

He leaned his head forehead as he pressed himself closer, trying to coax her tongue to return his affections and inviting her into his warm mouth. He playfully bit her and Nao yelped in surprise but before she could pull away, he grabbed her neck and kissed deeper.

He tilted her head for better access as Nao felt her face heating up. She used her free hand to grip his clothes while trying not to feel too overwhelmed by the pleasurable sensation she was given.

So this was a kiss.

Nao immediately grabbed both of her cheeks and closed her eyes, trying to stop her face from turning red.

Being with Muzan that way was wrong in so many levels. She was Naomi Ubuyashiki and she needed to get it together.

"Mimi... Does that answer your question?"

Nao turned bright red once again after recalling Muzan's words and his handsome face.

'What is happening to me..? What is this feeling?'

Nao decided to take a deep breath to calm herself. Her face was still red, no doubt but she finally managed to calm down her racing heart.

She feared that her heart was beating so fast and loudly that Muzan and even the other demons inside the fortress can hear her.

It would be too embarrassing.

Time passed after the incident and Nao could barely look at Muzan without feeling shy or embarrassed. Nao has never kissed someone before and her first experience with Muzan gave her a lot to think about.

It also didn't help that Muzan was aware of her internal struggle. He would glance at Nao from time to time and his lips would quirk to the side as if he was attempting to subtly hide his amusement.

Nao doesn't even know what to do when he acts like that. Her face would turn red and she would try to look away and feign interest at something else whether it was the floor or her new kimono that was embroidered with intricate designs.

Muzan, being the cunning man he was, would use her discomfort to his advantage. He would place his hands on her shoulders and whisper softly on her ears.

He would purposely let his lips brush against them while Nao would instantly combust at the unexpected touch he was giving her.

That's not all. Muzan would make it a point to stare at her lips from time to time while they engage on pleasant conversation.

Nao could no longer bear the tension and when Muzan went to hug her from behind to place a soft kiss on her neck.

Nao finally lost it. She shrieked and pushed him away.

"M-Muzan!" Nao stuttered loudly as she held the area on her neck where he kissed her.

"What Muzan is doing is making me feel uncomfortable! Please stop acting inappropriately!" Nao said, or rather, she tried saying all of that but she ended up stammering quite a lot.

"Is Nao-san embarrassed?" He said with a smirk on his face. Nao's eyes widened as her face flushed extremely red at his words.

"I.. I c-can't believe ..! M-Muzan, this is not funny!" She squeaked out as she weakly threw punches on his chest.

He chuckled softly at her reaction before grabbing her hands and pulling her closer to him.

Nao complained loudly at his behavior but Muzan simply placed his chin on the top of her head and embraced her body in silence.

He seemed at peace and contented which made Nao seize her actions. She glanced shortly at his face that looked extremely relaxed before she quietly stopped talking.

Nao sulked quietly but Muzan held her hand and a squeeze cheered her a little. It was his way of amending for his teasing. Nao huffed softly and did not squeezed back but she also did not say anything.

Nao ended up closing her eyes and savoring the silence with him, knowing that this was one of those rare times where they could be at peace with each other and not quarrel.

It felt nice to be like this without having to worry about anything.

"Mimi, I promise I'll make things right this time." Muzan whispered to her as he buried his face on her neck and murmured softly.

Nao's face felt warm again but she ignored the feeling and kept any snide comments to herself.

"You always smell good." He remarked.

Nao squeezed his hand tightly.

'Please stop.'

Muzan hugged her tighter in response.

'I don't want to. '

Nao squeezed tighter but he did not budge at all.

She sighed at his actions before raising her free hand to stroke his hair.

As expected of Muzan, his hair was as soft as it looks and Nao felt a little envious but she pushed her feelings aside.

"Muzan reminds me of a cat." Nao said as her fingers glided against the soft strands of his hair.

"A clingy cat." She finished before laughing softly.

"I like holding Nao-san." He reasoned out and Nao could have sworn that he smirked against the skin on her neck.

Her free hand went back to her side and went limp.

"Muzan." Nao whispered as she closed her eyes and leaned on him.

He hummed softly at her while Nao waited a few more moments before speaking again.

"What are we...?" She asked innocently.

Muzan pulled away, just enough so that he was facing her. Nao blinked questioningly and was surprised when he cupped one of her cheek in his hand.

"Nao-san and I.." He said, eyes staring at her with adoration. Nao felt her heart skipped a beat at the look he was giving her.

She bit her bottom lip nervously. Muzan shook his head and he leaned closer to place a soft kiss on her lips.

Nao was filled with surprise and she was torn between pushing him away and escaping but as she stared at Muzan's face, she was bewildered by fact that he was gazing at her lovingly while their lips were in contact.

He squeezed their joined hands together and pulled away.

"Why." Nao said breathlessly, confused and unsure with what she is feeling.

Muzan smiled, a soft smile that could only look perfect on his handsome face.

"Why not?"

He softly stroked her cheek before he leaned closer and met her lips once again.

Nao's eyes fluttered close at his action before she leaned closer and kissed back without hesitation.

'I don't know what this is but it feels right'
