------------------------------------------------------------------------
Word got out to everyone that you had multiple crushes due to Kanae and Kotoha opening their mouths. Now everybody was trying to steal away your attention exclusively for themselves at any chance. You loved it, you loved them but, it was straight-up exhausting at times. You didn't have the heart to really complain though. They were all touch-starved, desperate for any kind of acceptance and love that you willingly gave them. You allowed them to be their true and authentic selves, something you would give anything to ensure they keep being themselves.
"Y/N, come with me I want to show you something." This time it was Kyojuro who had snagged you and was dragging you to his room for who knows what. He was adorable, excitable, and intense. He even grew back to his normal height! He was his dad's height '6"3. Still a little shorter for a normal demon but, you'll take it versus the hunched-over bag of bones he used to be. Once he made it to his room, he closed and locked the door as they all do. They hate being interrupted whenever they have time with you unless it's one of the kids coming for you.
"What is it that you wanted to show me?" He was on his bed and when you sat down at his beckoning he had you pinned with all his body weight on top of you.
"Absolutely nothing, I just wanted you here." He was nuzzling into your neck and face, purring. They all can purr but, get embarrassed and don't want anyone to hear them unless it was you. It's always just you.
"Do you want to talk or leave the TV on in the background?" He blindly reached for the remote and turned the TV on a random channel raising the volume a bit before nuzzling back into your neck/shoulder area. He was still purring but, content with being in your presence. He talked softly to you about random stuff and you answered back just as softly with the TV playing in the background.
"Do you regret anything you did?" You quirked an eyebrow up looking at him who was looking back at you with intense wide eyes. "In the last 3 and a half years do you regret anything? Any of us? Are you happy?' He wasn't looking away and barely blinked not wanting to miss a face change or anything that you said. You tilted your head at him smiling while running a hand through his locks that had grown to his mid back now. He almost had a full-blown lion's mane.
"I regret absolutely nothing. All of you are the reason I breathe, the reason I get up, the reason I smile and I laugh and I'm happy. I never knew true happiness and love until you guys allowed yourselves to trust me and become a part of my life. I will forever be grateful until the day I die." Kyojuro was purring the loudest you have ever heard him and with no warning, he pushed himself up to kiss you. The kiss was both expected and unexpected. Of course, you kissed him back he is one of your crushes. This makes him your boyfriend now, doesn't it? He pulled away looking a bit nervous but, he had no reason to be.
"I-I'm sorry-" You cut him off with another kiss that he melted into. You pulled away with a smile glad to see he no longer looked nervous.
"Don't be sorry, you're one of the ones I want anyway." His eyes widen as he shook with excitement. Unable to contain himself he peppered kisses all over your face making you laugh.
"I love you, I love you. You're so beautiful, you're perfect, you saved me, you love me. I want to make you happy. I'll do anything to please you, just tell me and I'll do it. We're dating, right? Does this mean we are together? I don't mind sharing as long as I get time with you alone." He was talking a mile a minute making you laugh and hug him close to you.
"Yes, darling it means we are together, I do want others but, I want you and I need you. You complete me as much as I complete you." He was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He chose to hug you tightly to him smothering you almost but, it was comfortable so you allowed it. The two of you stayed in the room for a couple more hours just enjoying each other's presence.
---------------------------------------------------
You didn't expect Kyojuro to be the first one out of almost everyone to make a move on you but, you loved it. He paraded it around the others and you can literally see and smell the jealousy radiating off of them. It was nervously endearing. You figured it would have been Muzan or Akaza maybe even Sanemi but, who knows? It was a waiting game at this point. Currently, you were in the kitchen with Muzan.
"Y/N, my sweetness try this." Muzan had a spoonful of something new he was making for you so you tried it. Cooking was definitely one of his love languages for you. It was sweet and tangy, he definitely used sweet n sour sauce for this, or maybe something else?
"It's really good darling." You hovered near him and he pulled you impossibly closer. He wanted no space between the two of you. His arm was around your waist with his hand resting on your hip humming softly and swaying side to side to the music from the radio with you. The two of you were alone, everyone sticking to giving everyone their time with you. The organization and dedication were impressive honestly.
"I know something else that's amazing." You looked up at him in time for his lips to capture yours in a kiss. You expected this, humming into the kiss as the hold around your waist and hip tightened. He pulled away making sure to rub your noses together, a soft rumble coming from his chest. He was like a cat. A pretty one.
"You're 100 percent right, remind me one more time." He was more than happy to oblige showering you with kisses. He finally let you breathe pulling away to look at you with a gentle smile.
"The only reason I'm sharing is that your heart is too big and I don't ever want to be the reason it shrinks and you lose that light in your eyes. I love you too much to do that to you." You had no words so you hid your face in his shoulder. He had grown to his full height too, having gotten the proper rest, food, and care. You knew you may have been asking a lot but, you genuinely loved all of them, and that love needed to be shared equally amongst all of them.
---------------------------------
"Akaza, my love, please I'm going to fall-" You yelped when he picked you up bridal style and started walking briskly throughout the castle. He clearly had a place in mind that he wanted to be.
"The others are planning something for you at the top, all I got is 2 hours with you alone and I am going to take full advantage of it. I don't want any interruptions either because I just might blow a gasket." You chuckled at his urgency but, allowed him to take you who knows where. You went through two kitchens, a lounge, and a library before he finally stopped at a door setting you down.
"What do you have planned my love?" You had your hands on your hips tilting your head as he went to the door before turning to you with a large grin on his face, you mirroring it.
"It's a surprise so close your eyes." You did as instructed stretching your arms out for him to grab you and guide you inside. It definitely smelled good in there. "Okay, now open them." You did as told gasping as you did a slow turnaround. There was food and snacks set up in a perfect heart on top of a heart blanket. There were also easels and paper for drawing, painting, and a projector set up with a movie on the screen waiting to be played. You turned to Akaza who was shuffling side to side looking bashful "...Do you like it?"
"I love it!" You closed the distance between the two of you jumping into his arms as he spun you around. You giggled with your eyes closed missing the look he was giving you. You had stopped spinning and when you opened your eyes, he had heart eyes with a dopey smile. He looked so in love at that moment and all you could do was just look at him in awe. "You're so sweet Kaza, thank you so much" You went to kiss his cheek but, he moved his face at the last second stealing a kiss from you. You didn't mind as the two of you kissed. When you pulled away he didn't let go instead, he sat down on the bench and brought the two easels together to make one big one.
"We can work on a single one together with the movie playing in the background." You liked that idea a lot actually as the two of you enjoyed the food, drinks, the movie, and each other's company. You didn't think he could be this romantic but, you were gladly mistaken. You were enjoying yourself so much more than intended. When it got near the end of the movie, between the two of you, you had painted the castle on a starry night with the water running and the trees with the city all the way in the background. It was a beautifully drawn picture that you had you sharing more kisses with Akaza. When the movie ended he held you tighter not wanting to let you go. You ran your hand through his hair to soothe him.
"What's the matter Kaza?" He mumbled, then groaned before pulling away to look at you with a pouty look.
"Those two hours went by too fast, I'm not ready to share you just yet with everyone else." He started peppering kisses on your collarbone, neck, and then your face nipping your ear loving how flustered you got and your breath hitched. " I want to keep you long to hear more of those sounds you can make, but I made a promise. Besides it's not like I can't have you again afterward." He was so matter-of-fact as you stared at him in slight disbelief. You weren't too surprised because he was one to not hide how he truly feels about you or anyone or anything for that matter.
"Leave it this way then since you plan on taking me again. We can have more privacy than in either of our rooms." You had a slight smirk that had him almost smiling from ear to ear. The two of you left the room as he guided you to where the surprise was.
"Everyone is outside waiting patiently for you, they should be done by now anyway, I gave them more than enough time to get everything together." You were just happy to have spent time with him and the feeling of being loved, spoiled, and taken care of had you on cloud nine. Once outside Akaza picked you up but, this time by your hips and your back to the direction you guys were walking in. He smirked at you "I thought this position would be more fun than telling you to close your eyes for a second time today." You smiled talking animatedly with him until you smelled a whole bunch of stuff and that's when Akaza sat you down looking over your head. "You can turn around now." You did as instructed and ended up screaming and jumping up and down. It was another party! This time even your family was here and it was huge! Tables, banners, giant speakers for music, it was perfect.
"OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!" You were squealing, moving back and forth hugging, talking, and being affectionate with everyone you can reach. Once you were there that's when everyone decided to eat and your siblings turned on the music that you guys listened to growing up and anything else. The others didn't know as much as your siblings but, they knew something. You had a plate when your sister grinned at you turning the speakers up and your ears perked up at the old dancing playlist you guys had growing up.
"OH MY GOD NEE-CHAN WE HAVE TO DANCE! COME! COME!" Your brother had snatched you with your other siblings making all of you stand in front of the others as the music started. You stretched needing to warm up and, when the first song started you grabbed your sister and danced merengue, bachata, and salsa. After dancing with her, you sat for a couple of minutes to drink water and, that's when Daki, Nezuko, and Rui came up to you for hugs and to open their soda. They disappeared after that and you were pulled right back onto the dance floor with your siblings. You danced to everything as you got swung around. Doma and Tengen were bold enough to join you and, you loved it.
"You're gorgeous Y/N." You looked up at Doma who had a hand on your face caressing your cheek gently as you both swayed too much slower and gentler music. "Kotoha gave me the courage to do this." Before you can ask what he meant he bent down and placed a chaste kiss on your lips looking slightly bashful. "I'm sorry I couldn't help it, I loved you for a long time and was too nervous to make a move but, Kotoha gave me the confidence to do this. I hope you don't mind." You didn't mind in the slightest, in fact, you responded in tandem by kissing him square on the lips with a light grin of your own.
"I'll do anything to make you guys happy and if I'm being honest and a little selfish I wanted you for a long time too but, was unsure of your own feelings so I rather stay quiet and suffer in silence than risk making things awkward and uncomfortable." He smiled sharply at you squeezing you into him.
"You're much too cute for words. I knew I wouldn't regret coming home to you. I never want to leave you. Let me stay with you until the day I die." He was making you too sentimental but, you made the promise to him. You swore on your life.
"Y/N! Come to do an encore for us! Up here!" Your parents had disappeared back into the castle for a second while your siblings were pointing to the 6-foot ledge with no banister. You were a demon now and had much better balance than an average human so you had plenty of room to dance.
"I'm coming!" You went up on that ledge as your favorite songs were played and danced your heart out with everyone watching you. Everyone was screaming, jumping for joy, laughing, and talking. If only it wasn't so loud you would have heard the ruckus down below. If only you have listened a little harder you would have heard the thump, thump, thump. You may not have heard it but, you felt it through your shoulders and stomach. You heard the shrill shrieks of your name when your world was turned upside down and you started free-falling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's a nice little cliffhanger. A little angst was asked so I shall deliver. It was planned anyway but, thanks for the much-needed push.
