you glanced around the bustling street, searching for the next stalls to buy the last ingredients for dinner.
‘i’ve got the oil, the flour, now i just need-‘
your thoughts were cut off as you bumped into someone, falling to the ground with a hard thud.
"ow..." you hissed. ‘that’s gonna hurt tomorrow.’
"are you okay? i’m so sorry,"
"it’s fine, i should..." You looked up and almost instantly initiated eye-contact with quite the stunning boy. He had white hair and wide purple eyes, formerly filled wth concern that now seemed to be glazed over with an unreadable emotion.
you felt your heart flutter the longer you stared, mind fluttering with just the thought of him.
he seemed to finally snap out of his daze, blinking and shaking away the thoughts flooding his mind. he got up and reached a hand to you.
"sanemi shinazugawa." he said sweetly. you took his hand and he pulled you up.
"y/n l/n." you bowed… and noticed your money was scattered across the ground. "oh shoot..."
you started picking it up and he leaned down to help you.
"what are you doing out, l/n?" He asked in an attempt to create conversation.
"i'm buying ingredients for dinner."
"need any help?" his eagerness surprised you, but you nodded. who would deny free help?
"yes, please." sanemi nodded, stood up and dropped the money in your hands. "thanks."
"yeah, of course." he waved it off and began walking around the stalls with you. he insisted on helping carry the items…
but eventually, you got side tracked and forgot to return home. it was sunset and the two of you were talking the day away, propped up against a tree and snacking on ohagi.
"it feels like i’ve known you for years." you commented, glancing at sanemi as you did. he gave an eager hum, posture perking up at the mention. his wide purple eyes stared into your e/c ones.
"me too. maybe we knew each other in a past life."
"you believe in that stuff?" you furrowed your eyebrows and he scoffed.
"yeah. i just hope that old bastard doesn't get another one."
you raised an eyebrow at that.
"who?" you pondered.
"my dad." he waved his hand dismissively and took another bite of his ohagi.
"oh.." you muttered. after a while of staring, your gaze wandering toward the setting sun. 'i wish we could stay here forever.' you thought, a smile spreading across your lips as you fiddled with the sleeve of your kimono.
your eyes flickered back to sanemi, then the sun, then back to sanemi. a double take, you could say, as you noticed the look he gave.
"what?" you asked quizzically. he shook his head, still smiling while he looked at you.
"’just noticed something."
"what?" You asked, shifting to look at him. "is there something on my face? tell me!"
he pursed his lips and crossed his arms.
"hm... okay." his expression became neutral as he stared into your eyes. "there’s something about you.”
“what do you mean? is that a good thing?”
he couldn’t help but crack a smile at your furrowed eyebrows and the curious look on your face.
“it is.” you watched his eyes flicker over your frame and land back on your own.
“stop being cryptic, what do you mean?” you asked impatiently.
sanemi rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless.
“i… just think you’re the prettiest girl i’ve ever seen.” he says softly.
it took a moment for you to process what he’d said but when you did, you felt your cheeks heating up with each passing second.
“you’re just being nice. surely you’ve seen much prettier girls-“
“and you’re just being modest.” sanemi shook his head.
“it’s not modesty, it’s honesty.”
“just because you rhyme doesn’t make it true..”
“hush.” you crossed your arms and sat back against the trunk of the tree.
sanemi leaned up a bit to stare at you before he got up, pulling a knife out of his pocket.
“woah, woah, okay, i’m being modest!”
he furrowed his eyebrows in bewilderment then scoffed.
“now i’m just offended.”
you stared up at him, watching as he started carving something in the tree. you got up to watch.
“hm…. is that a potato?”
“shut up.” he smirked at your playful remark then put his full focus onto the tree.
a short minute later, he flipped the knife back into his pocket and grinned.
“now we can find this tree whenever we hang out together.” he said.
“your s looks like shit.”
“you do it!”
you giggled at his pout and crossed arms. “it’s cute.”
“hm.” he looked back at the sunset, noticing how much darker it’d gotten. “oh shit we gotta get home-“
“oh yeah, i forgot about dinner!” you yelped, scrambling to collect the ingredients into your basket. “see you tomorrow?” you turned back to smile at sanemi.
“see you.” he smiled back, collecting his own items much calmer than you had.

“yes, sanemi, i know how you fell in love with me.” you say, trying to contain the grin that threatened to widen with ever passing second.
“and i love you more every day.” he adds as if you forgot.
“where are we going?” you ask after a few beats of comforting silence. sanemi’s posture stiffens, immediately turning the air awkward. “oh my gosh are you gonna show me your outhouse..?”
“what? no!” he laughs. “it’s a surprise.”
“so far i’m… loving it.” you mutter, dodging a tree branch that nearly smacked you in the face. “nemi!”
“sorry.” he chuckles. “but we’re almost there.”
you look down at the overgrown grass and weeds that threaten to tangle on your ankles if you make too quick a move.
“if i get bitten by a snake-“
“i’m good friends with snakes.” you glance down at his hand and purse your lips.
“mhm. who took your fingers then?”
“okay, you know that was muzan.”
“he’s a snake!”
“i shouldn’t have told you about demons…”
“i can’t wait to tell our kids about them.” sanemi’s heartbeat sped up when you said that. he’s convinced in that moment he fell even harder for you.
“we’ll make the most of the years i have left.”
“stop talking like you’re dead. you’re not dead yet.” you scolded. “i hate when you bring that up..”
“sorry.” he muttered.
“..it’s not showing right now, so the affects aren’t there right?”
“we don’t have to talk about that right now.” he looks up at the overgrown tree, a small smile on his face. “we’re here.”
“wow. nice, uh… nice tree.” sanemi whips around to gawk at you.
“you don’t remember?” he notices the smirk on your lips and he sucks his teeth. “you’re annoying.”
“of course i know this is our tree. you really think id forget?”
“i mean… you are kinda-“
“kinda what?”
“nothing.” your eyes narrowed accusingly.
“mhm.” sanemi dropped your hand and you walk up to the tree, looking for the carving of your initials. “oh, i found it!”
you turn around to show sanemi who’d gotten down on one knee.
“y/n..” he says gently. your smile fades as the moment sets in. “will you-“
without letting him finish his sentence, you cup his cheeks and kiss him like you’ll never see him again.
“yes.” you whisper, tears dripping down your cheeks. he can’t help the tears that flooded his eyes that he dared not let go.
“i love you.” he says softly, like if he spoke too loud it’d ruin the moment
“i love you more.” you say in return. and you know you’ve felt that way since day one.
