You did not expect her to laugh. You blinked surprised at her random outburst but, still tense. Were you a fighter? No, but anger made you crazy and you can hurt her if she decided to hit you.

"You're a fucking bitch." You felt a smirk on your face. It wasn't the first time you were called a bitch and, it won't be the last. "I like you." You stared at her in utter confusion. So she wasn't going to fight you. You watched her for a few more seconds before going back to your food. It was quiet for a few more before the conversation started up again. It was nice. It was a nice distraction from what just happened. You weren't going to apologize though, she didn't deserve it. Muzan can be all hers for all you care. Once everyone was done you guys went back into your groups agreeing to meet again for dinner. It was going to be a long day

"Y/N you want to head out to the circus thing they have?" This time Daki and Gyutaro joined you guys. You enjoyed both of their company even if Daki always wanted to be the center of attention she was still sweet. Gyutaro adored his sister even though they bickered all the time.

"Sure. Let's go." All five of you started walking towards the circus filling the air with idle chatter, watching all the people around you enjoy yourself. The smell of food, the sounds of children and people talking and laughing. Besides the heat killing you a bit, you were enjoying everything. You guys made it to the carnival waiting in line to get inside. It was Daki, Gyutaro, you, Akaza and, Kokushibo. Somewhere along the lines of sitting inside, you ended up with Kokushibo directly behind you which wasn't bothersome but, still wondering how he managed to get behind you and not beside Akaza.

"How the hell you ended up there?" Akaza was asking him what was also on his mind and Koku simply shrugged. Seemed he really didn't know or didn't care enough to give a proper response. "Suit yourself." All of you faced forward since the lights dimmed and went to the center. It was a really nice show and you found yourself almost jumping up and down in your seat. You were so excited! You haven't been to a circus since you were a child. You felt a hand grip your waist and bring you back down from your half stand/crouch position. You turned to see it was Akaza who grabbed you. He smirked at you "I understand you're excited but, you're rocking the seats." You felt flustered, chuckling nervously.

"Sorry about that." You turned back to the show noticing he left his hand there a few more seconds before moving it. You were also unaware of the glares that Akaza and Kokushibo were giving each other behind your back. Once it was done all of us headed out blinking rapidly at the change of scenery.

"Onii-chan my eyes hurt." Daki was using one hand to rub her eyes and the other was holding onto Gyutaro. Cute.

"Alright, we can go do bumper cars." Everyone's eyes lit up. All of you wasted no time going to wait in line. Everyone got their own bumper cars and, you were giggling excitedly. Something about being in bumper cars made you giggle uncontrollably. When the buzzer went off you hit the pedal bumping straight into the back of Daki laughing. You went forward spinning around to see Akaza with a maddening grin. You had no control over the giggles coming out of you. Kokushibo came out of nowhere and hit you on the side. You turned back around and, away from them bumping into Gyutaro. Daki then hit Gyutaro, who in turn got hit by Kokushibo and both you and Akaza hit Kokushibo. Too much fun. When it stopped all of you got out grinning- even Kokushibo. You guys left the bumper cars looking around for something else to do.

"CAN WE GO TO THE FERRIS WHEEL PLEASE!" You agreed with Daki and were right next to her with the same enthusiasm giving the other three guys the puppy eyes. Gyutaro rubbed his neck agreeing so now you were trying to convince Kokushibo and Akaza. You pouted with wide eyes and a head tilt. It always worked with your dad and brother.

"Please guys can we go on the Ferris wheel." You watched as their eyes widen and their faces go red. They coughed looking away with a nod "Thank you! Let's go!" You grabbed both of their hands while Daki had Gyutaro and dragged them along with you and Daki in the lead. You guys never let go of their hands as you both made conversation looking at the capacity limit for each cart

"Ah, three people per cart." You had an idea.

"How about you and Gyutaro go together and I go with these two." You shook your hands to reference the two guys beside you. "Unless you guys want your own cart." You turned to look at them and they declined.

"I don't mind being with you." Kokushibo purposely left out Akaza which caused the latter to start pestering Kokushibo. Endearing. When it was your guy's turn to get on they stopped bickering climbing in after you. It was a circle seating, not the standard square so the three of you were evenly spread out.

"I have never been on a Ferris wheel with seats like this." It was strange but, welcomed. As the Ferris wheel slowly made it to the top you were a little worried it was going to be stuck. It didn't help that you were now regretting sitting right by the door. What if it swings open?

"Are you okay?" You turned to Kokushibo who was looking at you with concern. You were not okay.

"I regret agreeing with Daki and I am very afraid of how high up we are. I think my heart will stop if we get stuck at the top. It has happened 3 times to me and each time I think I got grey hair."

"So why did you agree to come on if you're scared?" You turned to Akaza.

"I didn't want to make Daki sad." Understanding crossed their faces. Akaza looked constipated as he gnawed his bottom lip.

"...Would holding my hand help you-" Before he can finish his sentence you latched onto his outstretched hand and repeated the notion with Kokushibo. It did make you feel better. Still nervous but, not the passing out nervous you were seconds before. You felt at ease holding their hands. You guys made it to the top and stopped. That normally happened so you didn't panic. You started counting in your head and when you got to 90 that's when you felt a slight panic.

"Why are we not moving?" You looked around but, your frantic movement made the cart shake causing you to freeze right on the spot. You squeezed their hands harder turning to them feeling slight hysteria. "Why are we not moving?" You didn't want to freak out.

"I think they're just doing this, we will be down in a minute." Kokushibo laced your fingers together and started rubbing his thumb across yours in soothing circles. Akaza was holding your other hand bringing it up to kiss your knuckles.

"Everything is fine. This happens all the time on these kinds of rides." You decided to breathe and focus on the two in front of you. As the three of you talked the ride still didn't move. You swore it's been 5 minutes listening to the other people and then that dreadful announcement came on.

"We are so sorry for keeping you guys waiting. There has been a malfunction with the systems and we are unable to move the ride. Emergency evacuation protocols will be"

You had stopped listening your eyes widening to the size of saucers, a hysterical giggle escaping your mouth before you can control it. You didn't realize you were pulled and sat between the two men since you were too busy trying not to hyperventilate. You wanted to cry. This is why you hated the Ferris Wheel.

"Please tell me we don't actually have to get out." You had a death grip on both of their hands refusing to look out the cart and down. Absolutely the fuck not. They ignored you and, you didn't like that. Not letting go of their hands you went to look but, a hand on your head stopped you.

"Don't look." You did as instructed and didn't look allowing the hand to play with your hair and the other hand to rub your arm to distract you. It was working. Thankfully they got the ride to start moving again removing everyone as they came. You didn't let go of your friend's hands until you were fully out and away from the Ferris wheel. Once a safe distance and together with Gyutaro and Daki you let their hands go.

"Thank you..." You don't know about them but, you had enough and wanted to go somewhere peaceful. You looked up feeling a stare to see Gyutaro observing you.

"I saw how scared you were and I was wondering, maybe, we can go to the animals? They have it where we can sit and feed them?" You looked at him in awe nodding happily. He said nothing simply smiling and leading the way. You followed behind him right by Daki with the other two trailing behind. You guys made it to the animals and you almost squealed at all the cute animals. There were goats, pigs, chickens, bunnies, llamas, mini cows, and ponies!

"I'm in heaven!" You didn't know where to go but, you were excited. You left the others going over to the feeding station to get food. You made sure to get a big container of feed for the goats, 2 heads of lettuce for the llamas and bunnies, and a brush for the pigs and ponies. Time to go to heaven. You blended into the crowd unaware of a couple of people taking pictures of you and posting them to the group chat. You were in bliss, feeling the stress and anxiety melt away from the Ferris Wheel. Once everyone was done that's when you guys got the signal to go get dinner and, then head out home. You five met up with the rest of the group and Muzan-of course the picky bastard- chose where to eat and, all of you sat at a circular table big enough for all of you. You unsurprisingly sat between Kokushibo and Akaza.

"Onii-chan! What are you going to get?" Gyutaro rolled his eyes aggressively pointing to the menu while bickering back and forth with her.

"All she does is fucking whine." You heard Susa whisper to Enmu watching him agree. At least they weren't stupid enough to say it out loud. Gyutaro would actually throw his knife at them and not miss. His aim was a little too accurate. You turned your attention at a tap on your thigh. You looked over at Akaza who was looking down at the menu.

"I'm going to get a steak with mashed potatoes and green beans, what about you?" You gnawed your lip deciding to get chicken tenders and fries. That was your go-to food for anywhere you ate for the first time. If those weren't good, more than likely everything else wasn't the best.

"The chicken tenders and French fries." He hummed turning to talk to the person next to him. His hand never left your thigh. You felt another hand on your other thigh so you turned to see Kokushibo watching you gauge your reaction. He must have found it because his hand didn't move.

"That sounds good, I'm getting the spaghetti with garlic bread." Honestly, everything that everyone was getting sounded delicious. Maybe the two men besides you wouldn't mind you sampling when the food comes... Everyone ordered and chatted or was on their phones waiting for the food to come. They both moved their hands from your thigh to converse and text. The food finally came and, all of you dug enjoying the atmosphere and, freely talking. You also managed to sneak food from both Akaza and Kokushibo but, they didn't seem to mind as they snatched chicken and French fries from your plate. All fair in love and war.

"I think we should all head on home now." You couldn't agree more. The fireworks were canceled until midnight instead of 9 and, you needed to go home and have time to yourself to unwind and relax. It seemed everyone else agreed. You waved bye to everyone and went to wait for a bus until there was an arm on your shoulder.

"You want me to take you home? It's getting late." You turned smiling at Kokushibo. The man has changed dramatically from when you two first met and, you appreciated the change.

"Um, sure. If you don't mind." He shook his head grabbing your hand and guiding you to his car. You waved to everyone else almost flinching at the intensity that Muzan stared at you with. You blinked and, it was gone in place of it a smirk before he turned around. What a strange man. You made it to Kokushibo's car, big enough for someone of his stature at well over 6 feet. About Tengen's height. Give or take. You got in and rested against the window feeling sleepy.

"Just tell me where to go and, you can sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there." Giving him the address, you rested your head back drifting into a nap shortly.

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

"Time to wake up Y/N" You woke up taking in your surroundings to see you're in front of your building. You smiled turning to Kokushibo with a smile full of teeth.

"Thank you, Koku! Get home safe." You pulled him in to kiss him on the cheek before leaving his stunned self behind. You made it to the entrance and, turned to wave at him before disappearing. Kokushibo stood there for a minute contemplating the swell of emotions that cheek kiss did to him. He drove back to his home, coming to a stuttering realization.

"Oh no."
