KNY | In Different Circles (Muichiro X Tanjirou)

Chapter 19

Tanjirou’s POV
 
“When’s Muichiro coming over?”

“How’s Muichiro?”

“You should invite her to dinner!”

Muichiro, Muichiro, Muichiro, that’s all I here now a days. I thought that introducing them would calm the water but no it only made it worse. They never stopped talking about him, and it was already hard enough trying to talk about him using female pronouns. I’m always correcting myself and I think Takeo’s starting to get a little suspicious.

“You all are so nosy!” I exclaimed, “Why do you all even care?”

“Well because you’re my sweet baby!” my mom said as she hugged me tightly.

“Moooooom!” I groaned “I’m not a baby anymore!”

“It’s ok, whatever helps you sleep at night” she cooed.

I rolled my eyes with a smile, mom would never stop seeing me as her baby, hopefully. My smile faltered a little, but I didn’t, she would ask what was wrong and make a whole deal out of it, and I didn’t want that. Would she still love me if I told her I was gay? I just wouldn’t, I just couldn’t… I couldn’t begin to imagine the pain I’d feel if she ever looked at me, not as her son, but as some faggot.

I pushed the image out if my head and hugged my mom tightly.

It was a nice Saturday morning, me, Inosuke and Zenitsu all hung out in the basement.

“We should do something today” Zenitsu said as he munched on some chips.

“Like what, we can hardly go anywhere with Tanjirou the cripple!” Inosuke scoffed.

“Inosuke shut up, that’s so mean!!” Zenitsu screamed at him.

“It’s alright Zenitsu, it’s not a big deal” I said, trying to calm them both down. Inosuke was being sour that Zenitsu wouldn’t abandon me and he didn’t want to go out by himself. “If you guys want to go out, then you should. I’ll be fine by myself if you guys go out” I said.

“Awesome, Zenitsu let’s bounce” Inosuke said as he jumped off from one of the beanbags in the floor and grabbed his bag.

“Absolutely not, I’m not leaving Tanjirou!” Zenitsu exclaimed.

“Ugh, you guys are so annoying!” Inosuke yelled, throwing his stuff back on the ground and flopping back on the bean bag “Can’t we all least watch a movie or something?”

“Yeah sure” I said as I reached for the remote, “Hey, I also had a question”

“Yeah, what is it?” Zenitsu asked, as he tilted the last crumbs of his chips into his mouth.

“What would be a good date to take someone on?” I asked casually.

“WHAT!?” Zenitsu spit out the chips.

“Heh, like you would know shit about that, you’ve never even been on a date!” Inosuke scoffed.

“Yeah that’s why I’m asking”

“Yeah - wait what?” he suddenly looked at me confused.

“I’m taking someone out and I need some ideas” I added.

“Hold up, you got a date, how and with who?!” Zenitsu screeched.

“They must be blind, literally blind, who would even go out with you?” Inosuke scoffed.

“Shut up Inosuke” Zenitsu snapped at him, “Tell me everything!” he looked back at me.

I hesitated for a second, “Ok, I’ll tell you guys, but you have to promise not to tell anyone!”
