💙-Angst

A Angst idea from SPARKLINGWATA! 🌹

Here's what going on! (Tanjiro is stressed and too overwhelmed by everyone counting on him to save this world of demons. Since the Hashiras were counting on him he was stressed and trying to keep his sister and everyone else alive self is stressing him out so much.)

ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ : ᴛʜɪꜱ ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ ᴄᴏɴᴛᴀɪɴꜱ ᴀ ᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟ ʙʀᴇᴀᴋᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴏꜰ ᴀ ꜰɪᴄᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴜɴᴄᴏᴍꜰᴏʀᴛᴀʙʟᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ꜱɪᴍᴘʟʏ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴛʜɪꜱ ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ!

No One's POV:

It was night time and everyone was sleeping soundly. Tanjiro wasn't able to sleep at all. He was sitting on his futon next to Zenitsu's Futon since they both share a room together. He was thinking about everything everyone said to him.

"You can do this Nii-Chan!" - Nezuko.

"Tanjiro you are a powerful demon slayer so you can take Muzan down." - Some Hashira's.

"TANJIRO PLEASE DON'T LET ME DIE!!!!" - Zenitsu.

"Get up! The training just started!" - Random person training Tanjiro.

"CAW CAW NORTH EAST! NEW MISSION NORTH EAST!" - Crow.

Tanjiro knew he would be facing all of these when he became a demon slayer. But now it's just "Tanjiro that, Tanjiro this, TANJIRO EVERYTHING." He understand everyone knew he could do it, but now it's just stressful. He can't get rest after he did one mission. After one mission there's already another one. He looked  at Zenitsu also known as his crush. He was sleeping soundly and peaceful without being bothered. Tanjiro didn't want to wake him up so he just stayed up and remind quiet.

Tanjiro's POV:

I felt my heart racing and my hands shaking. '𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴..' I thought to myself as I looked down on the wooden floor. Zenitsu was sleeping soundly so I didn't wanted to bother him in any way. I wanted to get out of the room and head to the garden but Zenitsu will surely hear me since he has amazing hearing skills. I felt something go down my cheek, it was a drop of water. But then another came down soon after  a couple more came down. I then realized what was happening, '𝘖𝘩...𝘐'𝘮 𝘤𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨..'   I'm not usually a person who cries but this just felt new to me. My family is counting on me, Zenitsu is counting on me for him not to die, the pillars are counting on me not to die to Muzan's Demon and Muzan himself, mission after mission without rest. My body just kept getting heavier and heavier while I'm on my way to missions. I felt like I was holding more than a Nezuko on my back whenever I go on missions. I started to cry more and more with a couple sniffles, holding my knees and putting my head down crying. My body hurts, everything hurts. I can't describe how stressed I am. I felt like I couldn't  speak, I felt like I'm screaming for help but no one is hearing my cries. Sniffles after sniffles I was screaming but just no one was hearing how much pain and stressed I'm in. '𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘦.. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯..!' 

Zenitsu's POV:

*𝙎𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙛 𝙎𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙛* I kept hearing the same thing over and over again. Someone is crying behind me, I didn't wanted to turn my back at all looking at what it was. '𝘐𝘛'𝘚 𝘈 𝘋𝘌𝘔𝘖𝘕 𝘍𝘖𝘙 𝘚𝘜𝘙𝘌 𝘛𝘙𝘠𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘛𝘖 𝘔𝘈𝘒𝘌 𝘔𝘌 𝘍𝘈𝘓𝘓 𝘍𝘖𝘙 𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘐𝘙 𝘛𝘙𝘈𝘗!' I thought in my mind gripping my pillow. The sobs were so quiet and soft. I was thinking about turning around to see who it was. I then decided to turn my head around slowly and saw Tanjiro there silently crying with his knees up to his chest and his head bend down. '𝘐-𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘫𝘪𝘳𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦..'  His back was bracing the wall and our futons weren't that close to each other so I moved my futon closer to his that their are touching. I went onto his futon and looked at him before calling out his name.

𝙏𝙖𝙣𝙟𝙞𝙧𝙤..?

He flinched when he heard me called out his name, He looked at me with teary eyes and just slowly looked down. I lifted his chin up and made him look at me.

Zenitsu : "Tanjiro..  What's wrong?"

Tanjiro : "N-nothing Zenitsu.. J-just go b-back to b-bed.."

He was stuttering a lot and he voice sounds off, obv from the crying... He was still looking down at  me trying to hide his teary eyes. I lifted his chin to look at me, he was about to look back down until I grab his chin tightly. His eyes were tightly closed. 

Zenitsu : "Look at me when I'm talking to you Tanjiro..Please tell me what's wrong.."

Tanjiro : "L-let go off m-my c-chin.."

I shook my head 'no.'

Tanjiro : "P-please..?"

Zenitsu : "Fine.."

I let go of his chin, and I looked at him. He looks so tired and weak, I guess that's the first... He looked at me with teary eyes, then something happend.. Something that I would never thought Tanjiro would do. I heard him 𝙔𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 and 𝙎𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 in pain and sadness. He just fell down into my arms and kept crying his eyes out. I flinched and pulled him into a tight hug.

Tanjiro : "E-Everything  hurts m-me..!"

Tanjiro : "I-I don't U-understand this f-feeling but i-it hurts so much..!"

Tanjiro : "A-And-"

Zenitsu : "YAMERU! Onegai Yameru..." (Translation : STOP! Please stop..")

He flinched when I shouted at him.

Zenitsu : "Stop.. breath in and breath out.."

He did what I told him to do but wasn't calming down at all, he was shaking and he was crying with a few hiccups.

Zenitsu : "Look at how I'm doing it Tanjiro.."

I breath in and out slowly trying to get him to do the same. He was getting a hang of it and started to calm down. He nuzzled his face against my chest with a soft muffled sound. He was hugging me tightly while I stroke his hair trying to fully get him to calm down since I could hear his heart beating fast still. I moved a little and he thought I was gonna leave him alone.

Tanjiro : "N-NO! please don't leave me alone!-"

I looked at him and he is crying again but softly this time and his heart began to race again. I looked over at him and began stroking his hair again and embracing him tighter. He relaxed again himself again and I could hear his heart beat started to slow down and soon after he was calm again. I let out a gentle sigh and told him quietly so he wouldn't flinch.
