A/N: Hi! I know author's notes are really annoying but this isn't ao3 and I can't put them in a seperate place so please bare with me. Thank you all?? so much for your support?? It really means a lot to me that you guys are enjoying this silly little story that I made as a self-indulgent way to release my love for Korekiyo! Now without further ado, the next chapter.

♡♡♡

You and Kiyo had been together for a few weeks now. At this point, you guys were rarely separated. He stayed the night at your house a lot and vice versa. He'd taken you on various dates to lots of different places nearby. He was going to be going on a trip to Europe soon as well, and he promised he'd bring you along with him when the time came. However, for the time being, it was just the two of you in his home. He was old enough to get a house of his own, so he didn't live with anybody and it was just the two of you alone.

"My love, I have something to confess..." Kiyo said to you.

You were in the middle of cooking some scrambled eggs on the stove for the two of you, so you didn't avert your eyes, "What is it, dear?"

Kiyo came up behind you and slowly massaged your shoulders as you cooked, his slender fingers digging into your shoulder blades and bones. "I think it's time we go a bit further in our relationship, no?"

You gathered up the fluffy eggs and scraped them onto two plates, placing a fork on each respective plate. "Do... Do you have condoms here?" You asked.

"Nonsense, my darling!"

"What?!" You exclaimed.

Kiyo waved his hands nervously in front of him, "I didn't mean having having sex! In fact, I was going to save that for our trip to Europe!"

"You what?"

"Anyways, straying away from sex, that's not what I meant! I was going to ask if maybe you wanted to perform a seance with me? I know plenty of different ones we could try out, just the two of us."

You looked up at him and smiled, "That sounds interesting, I think it's worth a shot."

Although Kiyo was wearing his mask, you could tell he was smiling widely underneath it. Korekiyo was very passionate about spirits and being able to talk to them. In fact, his house was quite humid at this time of the year since he had no air conditioning or electric fans in his house whatsoever. He claimed they would scare off any spirits that lurked in the home, so he didn't like having them around. Although it sounded ridiculous, doing a seance with just the two of you was probably a very intimate act for Kiyo to do since he was very passionate about spirits and the afterlife.

After the two of you finished your scrambled eggs, Kiyo led you up to his attic. It was completely empty, not even a speck of dust lingered in the space. You could tell Kiyo had cleaned the place out well for this kind of occasion. There was one window, but it was closed shut and you assumed that was to keep the room dark.

"You stay here while I grab the materials to conduct a seance. Think of some questions you would like to ask the spirits, yes or no questions are the most effective." Korekiyo said, climbing back down to the lower floors of his house. You sat down on the ground and waited. There wasn't much else you could do. There wasn't anything to look at and even if there was, it was a bit too dark to make anything out. You thought up of a few simple yes or no questions to ask the spirits and as you did, Kiyo climbed back up into the attic with some matches, four white candles, candleholders for the candles, and a large cloth.

"I made sure to cleanse this room recently to leave a clean space for any spirits to enter." Kiyo explained.

You watched as Kiyo laid out the cloth on the ground, arranged the candles and lit them, and then set up an unlit matchstick in the center of the candles. "Now, my love, I would like you to pick a side of the arrangement to sit on, whichever side feels best to you. I will sit on the opposite side because I must hold your hands during the seance." He instructed.

You walked around and sat on the north side of the arrangement, closest to the entrance of the attic, and so Kiyo sat on the south side directly across from you. He reached his hands out and gripped onto yours. His bandaged hands were warm, you blushed a little bit and hoped he didn't notice in the dimly lit room.

"We will now invite any spirits to join us in this room."

"What if the spirit is bad?" You asked.

"I will then follow proper procedures to end the seance and cleanse the room. I will not let any harmful spirits get to you, my love."

"Damn," You thought, "he's clearly done this before."

"This is a very simple seance to perform. All you must do once a spirit graces us with their presence is ask them any questions you may have prepared. Is that simple enough?" Kiyo asked.

"Yes." You replied.

"Then keep a hold of my hands and we will begin the seance. I will act as the medium for this seance since I'm more experienced in the practice of talking to spirits." He said.

There was a long moment of silence, the energy in the room felt very heavy. Your heart was pounding in your chest and the tips of your fingers tingled.

"If any spirits are here, can you please move the matchstick I have set up?" Kiyo asked.

You looked down at the matchstick. The red tip of it was facing directly north, towards you, but it suddenly turned on the cloth towards the northeast, pointing at one of the candles Kiyo had lit. You felt your heart drop.

"Now is your chance to ask questions, (Y/N). Ask anything you wish, however, please keep in mind to be respectful and that yes or no questions work the best. The red tip of the matchstick will move towards you for yes and me for no." Kiyo explained, looking at you with caring eyes. You could tell he was really into this.

"Are you a friendly spirit?" You asked.

The matchstick wiggled a bit before moving back towards you. Yes. If you could wipe the sweat off of your forehead right now, you would.

"Alright, um, did you formerly live in this house?"

The matchstick didn't move from its place. You assumed this meant it was saying yes again. You looked up at Kiyo, who seemed overjoyed that his seance was working and that you were actively participating in it.

"Uh, are you a boy?" You asked.

The matchstick slowly rotated until the red tip faced towards Kiyo. "That would be a 'no.'" Kiyo said.

"Alright, so that means this spirit is female." You thought.

"Are you... young?" You asked nervously.

The matchstick wiggled around a bit, but instead of rotating towards you or Kiyo, it just pointed towards one of the walls of the attic. The candles flickered a bit.

"Hm, the spirit must be confused." Kiyo said, "Do you wish to stop communicating with us?"

The matchstick pointed towards you. Kiyo nodded and spoke aloud once more, "We thank you for your time. You may exit."

He paused for a moment before burning out all of the candles with the tips of his fingers. He gently placed the matchstick back into the matchbox he had gotten it from. He stood up and clicked a light on, illuminating the entire attic. "That would've been good to know about earlier." You thought to yourself.

"That was exceptional for your first seance, my love! Typically it takes much longer for spirits to begin communicating, they must take a liking to you!" Kiyo exclaimed with glee.

You felt oddly nice thinking about how spirits may like you. Although nothing much happened, it was nice to think that someone beyond the mortal plane had your back.

"Although she didn't communicate much, it was still phenomenal that you were able to speak to one that much on your first try!"

You smiled and watched Kiyo gather up the materials he had gotten. "Do you need help putting those away?" You offered.

"I'm quite fine, dear." Kiyo replied, carrying all the materials as the two of you went downstairs.

After Kiyo put everything back in their proper places, he held your hand again. "What do you wish to do now, dear?"

You hummed a bit, "I was just thinking of cuddling up in your bed together. I'm a bit tired."

Kiyo led you towards his bedroom, "I'm perfectly alright with that, darling."

The two of you climbed into bed, Korekiyo wrapped his larger body around yours. He hugged you close with one arm and toyed with your hair a bit with the other. You held onto the hand wrapped around you and smiled contently. This was one of your favourite positions for cuddling. "Let me know if you wish to lay down, my dear." Kiyo said to you, resting his head on your shoulder.

"This is just fine." You replied.

Kiyo pulled down his mask and planted a small kiss on your neck, "Of course."

The two of you sat there, not speaking much. You just thoroughly enjoyed each other's company, cherishing the embrace you were tangled in.

"What did you think of your first seance?" Kiyo asked.

"I thought it was interesting. Can we do it again sometime?" You asked in reply.

"I was just about to ask if you wanted to try that again. I would be delighted to do more seances with you, my love."

You smiled and leaned your head back to look up at Kiyo. He leaned down and gave you a kiss on the forehead. "I love you." You said.

"I love you too, dear."
