Love Story | Nezuko x Zenitsu fanfic

01

I could hear yelling outside of the tight, cramped box I was in. Sounded as if someone was getting beat to death, they were saying stuff like 'I must protect the box!' I wasn't completely sure if they were talking about the box I was in until I heard 'this is supposedly worth more than Tanjiro's life!'

Yep it was the box I was in.

I really really wanted to help, but I was too exhausted to move, and what if Tanjiro didn't want anyone to see me yet, who knows if he was there...I wasn't gonna risk that. They're probably demon slayers who would kill me right when they see me, so it's best if I stayed in the box.

I could smell the scent of human blood, one of them were bleeding. I drooled. I know I'm not supposed to feast on humans, they're all my family, but it's kind of hard to resist when it's RIGHT THERE.

A while after I heard more and more yelling happening but this time I could hear Tanjiro now, he was also protecting me from whatever tried getting into the box. Please be safe Tanjiro.

I don't really know if Tanjiro won that fight or not, I passed out after a while...got tired, like always. I need sleep for more strength.

The box was still, I heard Tanjiro's voice, "come on Nezuko, don't be shy...please come out," he said in a calm soothing voice, was he insane?! What if he was getting told to do this by some other demon slayers who want to kill me. I hesitated.

"Nezuko, please.." Tanjiro said, sounding even more calm before, I trust him with my whole life though...I'm not gonna get slaughtered if I leave the box. I hope.

I creaked open the tiny door on the box slightly, I wasn't sure if this. There was a high pitched yelp, not sure what it was but it was pretty funny. I opened the door more and crawled my way out. My body size normalized as I stood up, there was a very very very loud yelp, then a pause. It came from a boy?

I stared at the boy who yelped, he had orange/yellow ish hair and I cant believe I'm saying this...but beautiful golden brown eyes. He was hanging off of Tanjiro, was I that scary..?

The boy jumped off of Tanjiro, we made eye contact...I'm pretty sure his eyes sparkled...

~FLASH BACK~
(Human Nezuko)

"I think it's about time I talked to you about boys, I know you're only twelve...but just to make sure," mother said sitting me down on the front porch, I cant really tell what she meant, I'd like to see a boy even glance at me. "You know..I met your father when I was sixteen, you're not quite there yet but things change so just listen, okay?" Mother said smiling. I didn't know what else to do so I just nodded, oh boy.

"There will be lots and lots of boys you will probably go through...but only one boy in this whole world is waiting for you to marry and have his children...to love and care for you, like how your father is with me," mother said sweetly.
"How do I know which boy is the one though.." I say unsure about this.
"Oh you'll see, just look in his eyes, find the sparkle of love, and that's the one..only if your eyes sparkle in return though."
I nod, "how am I supposed to know if my eyes sparkle..?"
"You'll feel it..in your heart."

Look for the sparkle.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

The boy's face went super red and he jumped, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU HAD A SUCH BEAUTIFUL CREATURE AROUND THIS WHOLE TIME WITH YOU?!?! WASN'T PLANNING ON SHARING?" He'd yell at Tanjiro, was this dude serious..
"She's my sister-"
"ZENITSU AGATSUMA!" The boy says interrupting my brother, how bold of him.

Tanjiro smacked the boy in the top of the head, I just observed.

All I remember after that is the boy chased me around the room for a very very long time, until Tanjiro stopped him.

But like...his eyes...
