It's been a little under a week since you've been with any of them. You texted Daki and Gyutaro and had no choice to interact during class with them but, other than that you didn't want to. You weren't upset at them per se just Kokushibo. You had Yoriichi's number and talked to him a bit about his brother not wanting to say anything because that is his brother after all. It was finally Wednesday again when you were going to the dorm and you felt someone behind you. You turned to see Kokushibo and you gave him a blank face turning back around to walk when he moved to walk beside you.

"Hi Y/N" You turned to him in surprise. He actually addressed you? You tilted your head at him a bit in questioning.

"Hi, Kokushibo." The two of you walked in silence that was a bit awkward but, not bad. Definitely could be worse.

"Can we go somewhere to talk?" You turned to him in surprise. He had stopped prompting you to stop and look at him in the eyes. You wanted to make sure that you weren't about to walk into a trap. You didn't trust him after the way he treated you but, he didn't look insincere right now.

"Sure, where do you want to talk?" He hummed before turning to walk back towards the elevators looking back at you

"Come with me." You shrugged your shoulders and followed the tall young man to wherever he was taking you. It was a comfortable silence this time and he took you to the east side of the building on a different floor. "I was going to take us to my dorm. It's just me since my brother, um, left. We can go somewhere else of your liking if you're not comfortable." You thought about it for a moment. It would not be smart to go into the dorm with a dude who seemingly hated your guts. However, you can go stabby stab with stuff and your nails. So you'll go.

"I don't mind going into your dorm." You smiled at him allowing him to continue to his dorm. You both made it shortly with him closing the door behind him and locking it. The lock made your heart jump but, there was no need to be nervous. He wouldn't hurt you. "Where can I sit?" You were about to sit on the floor or his chair when he pointed to his bed.

"I'll sit on the chair, you can get comfy on my bed." You hesitated for a bit but, after discarding your bag and shoes on the floor you hopped up onto his bed and laid on your stomach to look at him. He sat down glancing in your direction before going back to his phone texting a bit so, you played on your phone as well. He is the one who wanted to talk to you in the first place anyway. "I wanted to apologize for the way I was acting." You almost dropped your phone. You turned to him with your full attention because you just knew he wasn't the type to apologize.

"I'm listening." It wasn't snide, you really wanted him to know you were listening.

"Well. It was wrong of me to treat you so poorly right off the back. I did find it weird you knew my name but, then at the same time I shouldn't have reacted so violently. Then I ignored you when you started hanging out with my friends and I saw that they really liked you. A lot. You're such a genuine and sweet person and it just...pissed me off." You tilted your head at him confused. It upset him that you were nice? "I know. It's just...you reminded me of my brother and it made me mad. I shouldn't have gotten mad. You always treated me with kindness and all I did was the opposite. I'm very sorry for the way I treated you Y/N." He bowed his head at you before sitting up straight. "Can we start over?" You sat up in his bed before jumping down and standing in front of him on the chair.

"Hi, my name is Y/N L/N" You gave an amused smirk rocking side to side waiting for him to talk. He sighed rolling his eyes but, with his own smirk recited back.

"Hi, my name is Kokushibo Tsugikuni." You giggled lighting up at the smile that crossed his face. For some reason seeing the grouch smile made you happy.

"You should smile more, it uses fewer muscles than a frown does." He huffed getting up and heading to his dorm door.

"Well, that's all I wanted to say to you." You squinted your eyes at him deciding to mess with him.

"What, not even a hug. Just like that." You blew a raspberry at him about to unlock the door since he was taking too long when he grabbed your wrist. You turned around gasping a bit when he pulled you into his chest.

"You're so annoying." He wrapped an arm around your waist in a quick hug before letting you go and unlocking the door for the two of you. "Next time I'll let you hug me." You turned to him in shock grabbing your bad, slipping your shoes on, and heading out with him guiding you.

"I'm...going to head back to my dorm." He hummed and the two of you went into the elevator. The silence was comfortable. it was like something was lifted from both of your shoulders. The two of you went your separate ways with you heading to your dorm. Mitsuri was already there working on something which reminded you that you had some work to do as well. You procrastinated a bit so now, it was grinding time.

"Hey, love! How are you?" The two of you talked for a bit as you went to clean up a bit and changed into pajamas. You got onto your bed ready to do some work.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was Saturday and you had spent Friday doing all your work for the weekend, so then you can have the weekend to do whatever you wanted. You washed your clothes and bedding as well as other small chores that needed to be done. This time you were going to be hanging out with Muzan's crew. The guy didn't hate you after all. Once you got along with Kokushibo it's like everyone stopped holding themselves back. They were...strange but, you liked all of them. Muzan's family was rich and the guy was a fucking genius. Smug, arrogant bastard. They all were smart really. Felt just a tad intimidated but, you will do your best to round-house kick anyone. If you can. If you can't you'll improvise.

"Isn't this exciting?! Muzan I can't believe you actually agreed to this." Daki was excitedly talking as the man rolled his eyes observing his surroundings.

"Don't get used to it." He was ignored as everyone started talking. You were walking on the side of them listening to them talk about everything. Sometimes you liked to talk and other times you didn't. This was one of those other times. You looked around since you guys were in a different mall. Muzan took us here and the stores were a tad...expensive. You couldn't exactly afford a $50 t-shirt. It seemed they had no problem though. You went into the different stores with them looking at the clothes, and items waiting for them to buy what they wanted. The more stores you visited the more broke and cheap you felt. This was a mall you had never been to and it had nothing but high-end stores that you couldn't afford at the moment. Your online job only paid for so much.

"I'm starving! Where should we eat guys?" Akaza was asking this and everyone agreed to go and get something to eat. You really hoped it was no damn $12 burger and $10 fries. Your heart won't be able to take it. To your luck, you saw that it was an open buffet. Before you even thought of grabbing a plate you checked out the prices. It costs $3.99 a pound so that means you can get at most 5 pounds of food to last you for two days. You looked at the menu triple checking that you were reading it right. You looked and saw a 6 pack of juice and water was on sale for $2 each. You checked your wallet and saw you had enough. You were unaware of a couple of pairs of eyes watching you. You grabbed the 5-pound box and started grabbing everything you liked. You didn't have to pay tax since you were a college student. Once your five-pound box was filled you grabbed the water and juice heading to the U-scan. You scanned everything and saw you had 15% off the food for being a first-timer which was even better for your pocket.

"the food better taste good or I will scream and cry." After packing up everything you followed the rest of the group and tried to join in the conversation a little bit. You caught Muzan and Kokushibo staring at you a few times before turning their attention away from you. Strange. You guys exited the mall and got in Muzan's truck. All the bags went into the back and you put your food in the front to save for when you get back to the dorms. You were hungry now, but the bumps and close proximity of the car kept you from opening the box. It didn't stop the others.

"Don't dirty my car." He glared back at them, eyes flitting to you before going back to the road. Strange man. The car was rambunctious with everyone eating and talking. The only actual silent one was Muzan with Kokushibo speaking here and there. They talked to you too but, you didn't have much to say. You wanted to get out of this car and eat. You were getting nauseous. When Muzan finally parked his car you rushed out of the car for air.

"You good Y/N?" You turned to answer Gyutaro

"Yeah, I'm fine. Got a little nauseous but, the air makes me feel better." You waited for Muzan to open the trunk so you can grab your bags. They all grabbed their bags and left the parking lot heading to the dorms. You lived on the opposite side of them though. "I live over here. See you guys later! I had fun today." You hurried to your dorm so you can put these heavy bags down and eat. You were starving and felt a headache coming. You were unaware of your friends talking about you though.

"I don't think she enjoyed herself that much." Daki gnawed her lip a bit

"She didn't. She didn't buy anything and kept looking at prices." They all agreed with Akaza noticing that. They tend to forget not everyone can afford the high prices. It was normal for them.

"Next time we will ask her what she wants to do." Kokushibo to their surprise stated this and after thinking for a second they agreed. You probably didn't want anything crazy so, they were excited for you to decide what to do.

"I'll ask her what she wants and I'll let you guys know if we need the car or not," Muzan added this as a thought just before they all went their separate ways.
