**Setting: it is a cold night in the woods. The team is taking a rest from their last mission getting ready for their next one. Zenitsu has a crush on Tanjiro. Tanjiro is just oblivious. Inosuke is just Inosuke, and Nezuko is being adoable**

⚠️warnings: Inokuke, oblivious Tanjiro

☆Tanjiro POV☆

We walked away from our last mission with the demon finally dead. Nezuko was sleeping in the box to regain the energy she had lost in the fight and to heal her wounds, Inosuke was defying all the bad injuries he had received in the fight, yelling at me saying he could do anything I could do. And Zenitsu? Zenitsu is oddly quiet, he is usually freaking out and crying because the fight was so scary.

Odd...

"Hey everyone! It's getting late, let's just spend the night here before we head North-Northwest for our next mission", I stated taking Nezuko of my back and setting her on the ground next to a tree.

"COME ON MONJIRO! I DONT NEED TO REST WE ARE FINE!" Inosuke yelled taking his usual squatting stance with his arms up the boar mask shaking as he laughed.

"I'm fine with staying here", Zenitsu said quietly as he sat down against another tree curling up into a ball shaking, the smell of nervousness radiating off him. Slightly odd but not entirely new.

*a few moments later*

We had finally settled down for the night when it had finally hit me that it was incredibly freezing!! 'How is it so cold!!??' I mentally screamed as I shivered. I looked around to see how everyone else was holding up.

Inosuke was snoring away, the cold not affecting him in the slightest. LUCKY!! A tickmark showing up on my forehead as I wished I could sleep that soundly in the cold, I might've lived in the mountains but we at least had blankets!!

Zenitsu on the other hand was shivering and moving a bit signaling discomfort. My older bother instincts kicked in and I slowly stood up to quietly make my way over to him.

When I had made it over to the shivering blonde he had stopped shaking and just froze, it was easily seen that he was manually stopping his movement to fake sleep. I had almost forgotten about his advanced hearing and how he probably heard me walking over clear as day.

◇Zenitsu POV◇

Tanjro had walked over to me, omg omg omg omg, just stop moving he'll walk away.

.....

He's not leaving is he? ..Dammit, how can I get him away??

I could tell my face was getting redder by the second.

I mustered up the courage to move my head to face the red haired male. Tanjiro kneeled down laying his hand on my shoulder "your not shivering anymore, what's wrong?" His voice was laced with worry and compassion. I snapped around to face him, I'm now stitting cross-legged with Tanjiro not even a foot away from my face. My faced heated up more as he moved his hand up to my forehead to check my tampature.

"Your burning up! Are you ok? Are you getting sick!?" Tanjiro exclaimed getting even closer to me his voiced even more worried than before, panic starting to creep in near the end of his sentence.

○3rd person POV○

In a hurry Tanjiro had took off his checkered haori and wrapped it around the blonde male maybe getting a little to close for comfort as he hugged Zenitsu to try and keep him warm.

Zenitsu blushing like a madman had moved his head to Tanjiro's shoulder burying his head in the redhead's neck taking in the the scent he never realized he liked so much until now.

The blonde snaked his arms around the taller man's waist to pulls him a little bit closer. The redhead took the sudden embrace as a act of comfort and switched the positions so he was leaning against the tree with the blonde laying on his chest, the blonde blushing a bright red.

"T-tanjiro?" Zenitsu tried saying without stuttering but failed miserably at that. He looked up to be face to face with the red-eyed crush of his.

"Hm?" Tanjiro smiled looking down at Zenitsu being totally oblivious to the fact that he's making it worse.

Zenitsu was about to curse himself because of what he did next...he slightly moved up to close the space between him and the taller man.
But as soon as he was about to get close enough, Tanjiro looked up at the night sky to admire its beauty.

"The sky is beautiful isn't it?" Tanjiro stated laying a hand on the blondes head making him lay on his shoulder. Zenitsu grumbled and slightly shifted so he is laying sideways on Tanjiro, his haori covering them both nicely "yeah...just like someone I know", his voice became a little dreamy near the end of his statement.

Tabjiro looked down at the blonde, a tickmark showing up on his head "Are you talking about Nezuko?!" He whisper-yelled getting prepared to hit the blonde for even thinking such thoughts of his sister.

◇Zenitsu POV◇

"No no no no!" I said shaking my head profusely as I twisted my body to face him.

His face turned to shock as he realized what position we were in before I did.

I was mere inches away from his face, my hands waving furiously from side to side, my head shaking faster than my neck could take, me barely propped up on my knees hovering over his lap, his haori sliding down to rest on my lower back.

His shock didn't even begin to compare to the feelings I was feeling at that moment. I was basically sitting on my crush's lap!!

My face began to turn a bright shade of red as I lowered my head to his neck not wanting to lower my whole body as if I did, it would be a catastrophe.

What he did next surprised me to put it in simple terms.

☆Tanjiro POV☆

Zenitsu was lowering his head the scent of embarrassed and shamefullness wafting over him. My face was a bright red as I pursued my next action.

I grabbed his face, my hand lightly holding his chin as I lifted and turned his head, closing the distance between us.

The distance closed fully and our lips were touching, I could tell he was freaking out more by this but I moved my hands to both sides of his face and kept kissing him. He slowly but surely started to relax, what startled me was when he sat down fully on my lap.

I broke the kiss, even when I didn't want too, even when it was so....so...electrifying! But I couldn't just ignore the position we were currently in!

He lifted his face, he was clearly dazed the moment. I took this as my opportunity to move him back to his original position when he was laying on my chest.

He soon gained consciousness a few moments later when I was lighty stroking his hair "W-why did you kiss me?" He muttered shifting a little bit, but this time he was covering himself back up with my haori and practically snuggling up to me.

I smiled and kept stroking his hair "because you looked so cute!" He was clearly more flustered by these words and quickly closed his eyes and hid his face in my chest, but he quickly fell asleep as the tiredness of today's mission caught up to him.

Smiling I looked up again at the night sky thinking how differently this night could've gone.

**Bonus**

○3rd person POV○

Inosuke was the first to awake, he jumped up and stretched looking over to the direction that Tanjiro was originally supposed to be sleeping getting ready to yell; getting a little surprised when he wasn't there.

With a quick turn of his head he saw Tanjiro and Zenitsu cuddling. He just sighed gave a fake barf and stomped over to the two sleeping boys preparing to give them a rude awakening.
