Dear Little Flower - Sanemi Shinazugawa x Reader

The picture tells it all.

But who knows...

~•~•~•~

"Achoo!" You sneezed, covering your nose. You were under the kotatsu that Sanemi took out a few weeks ago. It's getting colder by the day and it's not been the best for you. You spent your days studying the new books Kanae gave you.

"Nee-chan, are you okay?" Koichi asked, placing his sword down. He was doing his sword maintenance that Sanemi thought him. "Do you want hot tea? I can make you some."

"It's okay, I already had tea today. I can't drink too much." You said, caressing the baby bump. "Just a little cold." Koichi nodded as he stood up and ran upstairs, coming down a few seconds later with a blanket and he dropped it around you. "Thanks ko."

"No problem! I'll take care of nee-chan while Sanemi is in town!" He proudly stated, going back to his sword.

Sanemi was in town, doing the groceries. You told him that you would come with him but he said no and that you would get tired. The Shinazugawa Residence wasn't far from town, but it wasn't near either. About, maybe, 8 to 10 minutes of walk. But now that you were pregnant, it took you nearly double. Proven when you went to Euko's place a few days ago.

You were humming a tune when there was a knock outside. You stood up and went to get it, Koichi following behind you. Once you opened the gate you were greeted by a person with a red mask. You were surprised at first but Sanemi had told you about them. This one wore a coat that had what looked like a painting of a landscape.

They were swordsmiths. They were the ones who made the swords for demon slayers.

"O-oh, please come in. Sanemi will be coming back in a few." You said, stepping to the side. The man bowed and entered, closing the gate behind him.

"Thank you for inviting me, Shinazugawa-san." He greeted. "I'm Tamashiro Ieyoshi. Please call me Ieyoshi, everyone in the swordsmith village would like to give you our congratulations on your wedding and pregnancy, may you live with fortune and happiness."

"O-oh, thank you, Ieyoshi-san, please call me (Y/N) as well." It was quite weird talking to him. He was so formal and composed. "Koichi, lead Ieyoshi-san to the living room, I'll make him some tea"

Before you could go, Ieyoshi stopped you. "There is no need for tea, (Y/N)-san. I heard that pregnant women are prone to exhaustion. I do not wish to burden you and your growing child."

"Oh, okay..." You said, still a bit awkward with his formal talking. Once inside, you three went to the living room while Koichi went ahead and made some tea. He also took off his cloak and inside was a sword.

"I have heard that (Y/N)-san's brother is going to be the future tsuguko." Ieyoshi asked Koichi as he sat down beside you. Koichi nodded. "Then, would you like me to be the one to forge your sword? I have been Sanemi-san's swordsmith since he first became a demon slayer."

"Oh, really?" Koichi asked, taking a piece of ohagi that you made just a few hours ago. "That's cool, to be able to make swords." He said and Ieyoshi looked touched. "Then that would be great! Once I become a demon slayer then you'll also be my swordsmith, Ieyoshi-san."

"Oh, that would be my honor." Ieyoshi bowed. It was really strange talking to someone so formal. But time went more smoothly than you thought. Koichi and Ieyoshi chatted about swords and before long, Sanemi arrived.

"Ah, Tamashiro, you're here." Sanemi sat down beside you as Ieyoshi took out the sword bag and opened it to reveal a sword. It was the same as the last one Sanemi had, you wondered what could be the difference.
