Chapter 8

Nightmares turned to reality

(REQUESTS ON HIATUS) Kokuzan oneshots

A/N: I was bored so I asked JolyneKujoxnothing This will contain a stalker (not Michi nor Muzan) This is angst and fluff mixed (?)

Michikatsu was asleep, until he felt someone nudge him awake. He lay on his side and turned around, he grunted and opened his dark purple eyes, what met his gaze was his boyfriend, Muzan. Who seemed to look terrified, his eyes look red, as if he'd been crying. "Love...? What's the matter?"

Muzan shaked, he had just woken up from a nightmare. He had woken Michikatsu up, it wash first thing he thought after waking up. "M-michi..." Michikatsu yawned and sat up. It was night time and the full moon was glowing, making him feel stronger just by looking at it, he then looked back at Muzan, who seemed to fear him for some reason. "Yes, my dear?" He asked while rubbing Muzan's head.

Muzan clenched his hand tightly into the warm blankets as his body trembled. Tears were forming in his eyes again. "I..." He looked down, as if he was embarrassed.

It confused Michikatsu why Muzan was acting this way, he thought about something but he hoped it wasn't true. He was going to ask him, but something told him not to. He just wanted to get this over with, so he looked at him again and asked him. "Did you have a bad dream?"

Muzan nodded softly, nuzzling his head into the sheets as he curled into a ball. "Yes..." he sniffed, trying to wipe his eyes. Michikatsu sighed, it was clear that Muzan was hurting from his nightmare so he sat right next to him and hugged him tightly, he then looked him in the eyes and started kissing his forehead. "Shh, it's okay... It was only a nightmare, I'm here, my love."

Muzan trembled in Michikatsu's arms. He cried softly on his boyfriend's shoulder. "It's okay, it was only a bad dream, it isn't real, I would never hurt you." Michikatsu continued to comfort his boyfriend, rubbing his back in a soothing way. "I promise..."

"Michi... I-I..." He gulped, cuddling tighter against Michikatsu. Michikatsu sighed and continued to rub Muzan's back as he started to kiss his cheek, trying to calm him down. "What... do you need to tell me something, my love?"

Muzan leaned close to Michikatsu's ear. "I'm getting stalked..." he revealed, shaking in fear. Michikatsu's eyes widened and his pupils dilated, even if he was in shock he kept a straight face as he continued to comfort his lover. "Stalker...? Do you know who?"

"No... But I've been receiving photos of myself by an unknown number," he grabbed his phone and unlocked it. He then went to his messages and showed Michikatsu the photos and messages. One photo was of Muzan in the bathroom, it looked like the stranger was in the closet. Under the photo was written 'I can't wait to have you all to myself, darling.'

Michikatsu's eyes slightly widen and he felt his stomach sink, his mind became fuzzy as he realized what was happening. He was shocked of the photo, and he feared what could end up happening to his lover if the stalker kept this up. "My darling, how long has this person been messaging you like this?"

Muzan looked down in shame. "About 2 months..." he said in shame. "A-at first I thought it was a prank, then I asked our friend group, but everyone said they didn't know what I was talking about. I thought the messages would stop after a bit but they didn't... I tried to block the number, but they'd make new ones, I suppose."

Michikatsu thought for a moment before speaking in a reassuring tone. "Don't worry, my love... I have an idea on how to deal with this." He smiled softly and got off the bed, still kissing Muzan's forehead. He looked at his boyfriend for a few seconds before saying, "Go to back to sleep, I'll handle this."

Muzan sweat, he was worried that this stalker would hurt his boyfriend. "A-are you sure? Wouldn't it be dangerous? I-I mean we don't know who this stalker could be..." he frowned, shaking slightly.

Michikatsu put his hand on Muzan's chin and tilted his head up so their eyes met. "I know you're worried, my love... But I'll be fine, I'll try to handle this carefully. You just stay here and go back to sleep, I'll wake you up if anything important comes up about this issue." He smiled at him and kissed his forehead again.

"O-okay..." he nodded, he was, understandingly, very *very* skeptical about this. However, Michikatsu has protected him many times, so he supposed that he would protect him this time too. "B-but can you stay until I fall asleep? I'm really scared..."

Michikatsu sighed and chuckled slightly. "Very well, my love but please, try not to be scared..." He then laid down next to Muzan on the bed. "Go ahead and lay back down, I'll comfort you 'til you fall asleep." He smiled and put his arms around him.

Muzan nodded, and after a few minutes, he was sound asleep. He snored softly. Michikatsu smiled and held onto Muzan tightly. He was also getting a bit tired, but he decided to stay awake, he was scared of what would happen to his lover if he did go to sleep.

Soon, a few hours passed, Michikatsu was awake and his phone was ringing, he looked to his right and saw that the time was 6 AM. He yawned and picked up his phone. He checked the caller ID, it was an unknown number... but Michikatsu had a feeling that he knew who was calling him...

Michikatsu grabbed his phone and picked up. "Hello?" he asked quietly as to not wake Muzan up and potentially scare his love. He waited for someone to answer him. After a few seconds of a faint breathing sound the caller responded with a hushed tone. "Good morning, beautiful..." the voice said. Michikatsu's blood ran cold... He had a feeling that he knew exactly who this person was.

"Excuse me? Did you want to call my boyfriend?" he frowned, now holding Muzan close to him to protect him. "My, my, we have ourselves another person who wants to protect their lover? I'd be more careful if I were you, it'd be a shame if I made your boyfriend all mine," the person on the other line then laughed, this enraged Michikatsu.

Michikatsu scowled. "Who the hell are you?" Michikatsu had an idea of who this person was, but he needed to confirm his suspicion. The laughter became louder on the other line. The person chuckled before speaking again. "Oh, Michikatsu~... how adorable! Trying to get me to tell you all my secrets, I'm afraid I can't do that... but just know that I want your boyfriend for myself..."

Michikatsu scoffed. "Why? You're clearly scaring him to death. He's been getting nightmares because of you, you know?" he asked as a vein popped on his forehead. "You're right~ and I love seeing him scared, it excites me... it makes me want to come right to his house and grab him by the neck..." The caller chuckled again as Michikatsu's eyes widened at his words. "How about I give you a deal Michikatsu, my love~" the person said in a suggestive tone.

Michikatsu scowled, holding Muzan closer. "What?" he huffed. "And don't call me 'my love', creep," he hissed. "Fine then... Michikatsu." The caller laughed before continuing. "There's an abandoned building at the bottom of this city, let's say at midnight~ meet me there... then, I'll give you and your boyfriend a surprise, I promise." The caller then hung up, and Michikatsu immediately turned and looked at Muzan.

Muzan woke up, his body sensed that Michikatsu stared at him. "Michi...?" He asked in a tired voice. Michikatsu took Muzan's hand and held it tight, he then gently smiled at him. "My love... I... I need you to listen to me, I have one important thing to say."

His boyfriend yawned and rbbed his eyes. "Okay... What is it?" he asked in a still sleepy voice. Michikatsu sighed and held Muzan close to him once more, he then started playing with the hair. He looked at his love and said, "I'm going to go after the stalker... I've figured out the place and time we're supposed to meet up..." Michikatsu took a deep breath, he didn't want to scare Muzan too much. "And... I'm also going alone."

"Michi... Are you crazy? What if you get hurt?" Muzan wanted to scream his words, but it was early and who knows, maybe that stalker was nearby. Michikatsu held Muzan's hands, looking him in the eyes as he responded. "I know I might get hurt... but it's the only option we have. The stalker's most likely not going to hurt me at where we're meeting, so I shouldn't worry. But... I need you to not tell anyone, especially your friends, about what I'm doing... Okay, my love?" Michikatsu smiled softly.

Tears started to fall down Muzan's cheeks. "But what if you do get hurt...?" he sniffled, he couldn't imagine his life without Michikatsu. They were both 20, they've been dating for 6 years and known each other for 18 years. They had decided to get married once they're financially stable, so getting married was around the corner. Muzan didn't want to loose his lover and childhood best friend!

Michikatsu wiped Muzan's tears and smiled again, he wanted to calm him down. "Nothing is going to happen to me, I'll be fine... I promise. But the important thing is that we take out this stalker so you can stop getting harassed. Now, please... go back to sleep, okay, darling?" Michikatsu kissed his boyfriend on the forehead as he started to pat his head.

Muzan nodded in defeat. "But why don't we call the police?" he asked softly, shaking lightly. Michikatsu sighed and ruffled Muzan's hair as he spoke again. "The stalker is texting me from an unknown number, and you and I both know that the police won't be able to do anything. I'll handle this and then this will all be over, alright, darling?" He smiled gently at his lover.

Another tear fell down Muzan's cheek, he was afraid and sighed. "Okay... But please be careful... I couldn't imagine a life without you..." Michikatsu wiped down Muzan's tears again as he held him tightly in his arms. "You don't need to worry, my love. It'll all be over and you'll be safe again." He gave Muzan a quick kiss on the cheek, he then looked at the time to check what it was. "I have to go now, but I'll be fine. I love you, my dear..."

It was now night and Michikatsu was getting ready to leave. "Wait!" Muzan gripped Michikatsu's arm and kissed him on the lips as he wrapped his arms around Michikatsu's neck. "I love you too, Michi..." he said softly as Michikatsu walked out of the door.

The night was quiet as Michikatsu exited the apartment and started to make his way to the abandoned building at the bottom of the city. In the distance he could see the full moon glowing brightly in the sky, he thought about the conversation he'd just had with Muzan and just hoped that everything would be alright. A few minutes later he arrived at the abandoned building, he walked inside and started to look around.

He sighed as he looked around for Muzan's stalker in the abandoned building. "Hello?" his question was echoing through the building. Michikatsu could hear what seemed to be footsteps, they were quiet, but he could just make them out. The footsteps came closer as Michikatsu looked around frantically. "Who's there?" He said in a calm and confident tone, as he wanted to keep a brave front up.

The tall man looked around, trying to find the person. "I know someone's there! Just come out, will you?" he hissed softly, a vein on his neck. Michikatsu took a deep breath as he turned to look at who was behind him, he saw that the footsteps belonged to a tall man, who he was guessing was the stalker. "There you are." Michikatsu said, a faint smirk on his face. "You were trying to trick me?" Michikatsu looked up at the stalker and took a step forward, his face showing no indication of fear.

"Who the hell are you?" Michikatsu scowled at the other man, clenching his hands into fists. Michikatsu smirked as he said, "I'm Michikatsu, let's see... I'm assuming you're the stalker who's been harassing Muzan for quite some time, right?" Michikatsu took a step forward as he spoke calmly, and he continued to walk until he was face to face with the stalker.

Michikatsu glared at the man who has been harassing his boyfriend. "Who are you?" Michikatsu took a step forward as he responded once again. "I'm Michikatsu, the love of the man who you've been harassing... Who are YOU? That's the real question." Michikatsu was about a foot taller than the stalker, his aura radiated strength, he felt no fear towards him.

The stalker chuckled. "My my, brother. You don't remember me?" Michikatsu's eyes widened and he took a step back. "Yoriichi? Is that really you?" Michikatsu had a lot of questions, he hadn't expected the stalker to be someone so close. He was still trying to keep a brave face, but he felt a tiny bit of fear wash over him.

Yoriichi smirked at his brother. "The one and only," he hummed as he crossed his arms. Michikatsu sighed and said, "Why on earth were you stalking Muzan?" Michikatsu was confused so he just spoke up. But then a thought crossed his mind. "Wait... Yoriichi? Don't tell me that you're in love with Muzan?" Michikatsu chuckled to himself for a second, not believing that his own brother could have feelings for his boyfriend.

"Yes. I do," Yoriichi stated. "I want him for myself." Michikatsu looked disgusted, his eyes widened even more. He laughed. "Wait... Hold on a minute... You're in love with Muzan? Yoriichi, you're my damn brother!" Michikatsu looked pissed off at Yoriichi, he then took another step forward. "Muzan is my love, you understand that right? You can't have him!"

"Aww, why not?" Yoriichi huffed. "You always had everything. The best education, the best clothes, the best pets, the best friends and the best lover!" Michikatsu scoffed. "Do you think I had those things because I was spoiled? I had to work for all of those things! I'm older than you, I went to college for years so that I could have a proper job, I worked my ass off to afford those clothes, I had to make new friends once I moved to a brand new town... and don't even compare those things to my love, Muzan is NOT just a thing. You can't just take him from me Yoriichi! Did you forget who I am to you?" Michikatsu sounded angry at Yoriichi.

Yoriichi scoffed, clenching his fists. "I want Muzan! I've loved him for years! Just give him to me!" Michikatsu looked at his brother, disgusted at what he said. "Muzan is not an object! He doesn't love you!"

Michikatsu laughed and said "You want Muzan? No fucking way! Muzan loves me and only me, you need to realise that Yoriichi! We're not kids anymore, we aren't sharing our things like we used to do!" Michikatsu then looked a little bit angry. "Did you seriously think there was a chance of me giving Muzan to you? I'd literally rather die than let you get anywhere near him!"

Yoriichi's eye twitched. "You think I care about your opinion?! I will have Muzan! Just you wait, Michikatsu!" Michikatsu then looked at Yoriichi with a serious face. He chuckled and said "Aww, isn't that cute. You think you know better huh? Well, here, then, why don't you try and take Muzan yourself?" His voice had a mocking tone to it, Michikatsu looked at Yoriichi and then spoke again. "Just don't say I didn't warn you, alright? You better believe I won't make it easy for you, now... Go ahead, try it."

Yoriichi sweat and turned around. "This isn't over, Michikatsu," he said before walking away. Michikatsu sighed and walked away too, back home. He took different ways to go home, for procaution, if Yoriichi did follow him. Luckily he didn't. He went inside and saw Muzan cuddling with their cat, Tatsuki. Muzan woke up and yawned. "Michi...?"

Michikatsu softly chuckled as he walked inside. Muzan was sitting up on the bed, with their cat Tatsuki, looking adorable beside him. He walked over to the both of them and said, "Yes, my dear?" Michikatsu smiled as he saw Muzan looking at him. He started to pat Tatsuki, who then purred and rubbed himself against Michikatsu's leg. Michikatsu giggled.

Muzan rubbed his eyes and nuzzled against Michikatsu. "How did it go...?" he smiled at Michikatsu. Michikatsu took a deep breath and smiled, putting an arm around Muzan. "Actually... It didn't go that well." He sounded worried, but his smile had faded. "Yoriichi... Apparently he's in love with you... and he wants to take you away from me." Michikatsu held Muzan closer to him, hoping to comfort him.

Muzan gulped and quickly got up to grab Tatsuki, then nuzzled up against Michikatsu again. "I see..." he said as tears streamed down his face, and the cat tried to comfort him by rubbing his head against Muzan's chin.

"Hey, hey, don't cry my love, it'll be okay, Yoriichi would *never* be able to touch you, you're safe with me... he's just jealous because I'm with you." Michikatsu's voice was still soft and calm, he was trying to hide all of his worries. "C'mon, darling, calm down, I'm right here. Tatsuki loves you." Michikatsu smiled and kept stroking Tatsuki.

Muzan nodded softly. "I love you too, Tatsuki," he said as he kissed the black cat on his head. The three of them fell asleep. The next day, they watched the news on the TV, and it turned out Yoriichi had been arrested for killing 6 people because they 'annoyed him'. "Oh my..." Muzan gulped softly.

Michikatsu looked concerned at the news, he was shocked. His eyes widened as he looked at Muzan. "Oh my... Yoriichi's always been a hot-headed child but I didn't think he would ever do something as bad as this..." He sighed and hugged Muzan close to him, holding him tightly in his arms. "Muzan... I'm so sorry that he's like that."

Muzan smiled. "It's not your fault, Michi. You can't control him, we're safe, that's good, right?" Muzan asked softly as he put his hand on top of Michikatsu's as Tatsuki took a nap on Muzan's shoulder.

Michikatsu smiled back and said, "Yeah, you're right, we are safe... And we're still together, that's the important thing." Michikatsu softly kissed Muzan on the cheek. "I don't want you to worry, my love... And let's hope that Yoriichi stays in there for a long, LONG time..." Michikatsu looked pissed off at the mention of his younger brother.

Muzan nodded in agreement, gently kissing Michikatsu on the lips, which his boyfriend gladly returned. Michikatsu felt a faint smile appear on his face as Muzan kissed him again, he then pulled away from the kiss. "I love you." He then took a deep breath and then looked at the clock. "Ah! It's already time for me to head to work, how did it already get so late?" He sighed. "Don't cause any trouble while I'm out, alright, my love?" Michikatsu was still smiling, he didn't want to leave but he knew he had to.

Muzan giggled and smiled. "It's okay, I love you too, handsome," he giggled as Michikatsu kissed his cheek and left for work.

A/N: I'm not sure if this is angst and fluff mixed, ngl.
