_______

Zenitsu Agatsuma was always a coward. A stupid crybaby. A crybaby no one ever took the time to get to know and, love.

How? Well for starters, he grew up an orphan. An orphan who's parents left him on a doorstep with only a blanket, box and a note saying his Given name. Zenitsu. This was always his luck. He was never treated with the same kindness the other orphans got, they got treats, while he got slapped for being a so called 'crybaby', They got soft comfortable blankets, he got harsh words for not cleaning correctly.

The head Mistress once found him crying because he fell trying to mop the floor. She hit him. Hard. Told him to get up and wipe those tears because men don't cry. She told him to do it again for all the rooms as a punishment for being a crybaby.

She also found him arguing with some kids and she hit him again, and dragged him away. She told him 'don't argue with the children with real skills and could do something to make other people proud.' She pointed at him. 'Your nothing but a disappointment'. He didn't have food that night.

She found him reading about demons. And she grabbed the book from his hands and made him watch her rip each and every page telling him to stop reading such nonsense and focus on cleaning. He cried after she left. He cried all night and didn't sleep until he cleaned and washed all of the other kids dishes and beds. He didn't have food that night also.

__

Zenitsu would often hide behind kids when adults came in. He hid so fast that his legs hurt, some would say that he hid so fast that he was like a bolt of lightning. He would beg them to protect him and eventually they would get annoyed with his clinginess and push him away. Who wouldn't be afraid? After being left alone with only a roof over your head, and people hitting you for everything you do. Who wouldn't try to have someone protect you? But no one tried to protect him. God. He begged someone someday would try and protect him.

____

So yes he was deemed unlucky. Luck was never on his side.

___

He was the outcast. The kid who had freakishly amazing hearing. Most would be like 'oh that's so cool!' Or 'I wish I had good hearing like you' he loved telling them he had good hearing, but of course with his 'luck' that changed when he over heard a conversation between 2 kids saying that 'his hearing was fake' and 'he was doing it all for attention because no one would hang out with him otherwise.'
It hurt. Those kids went on to tell the others that he was faking and he was weird.

_____

It hurt. It always hurt. To hear people talk behind your back, to hear people say such rude things about how his 'hair was weirdly shaped' and 'his eyes are un-normal for being such a ugly color of brown or gold'. Even when he was asleep he could hear the kids waking up and talking about how they hate sleeping around his 'weirdo' self.  Every one of those words hurt, they made him want to run away and cry in a ditch far away from all the hurtful things in his life.

____

Humans had a sound. A calm heartbeat or a sour heartbeat nothing in between. They all had a sour heartbeat everyone he had ever met well, mostly everyone. They mostly had been greedy, selfish, or nice. The nice people would get tired of him, so they turn away and leave. That's when there sound would turn sour.

Zenitsu never had nice things. Except-

Trees were his comfort. Whenever he would want to run away from the hurting in his chest he would climb on top of trees dirtying his green-ish brown haori in the process. He'd hold onto those trees around him for dear life listening to the bark move and crack against his fingers. He listened to the leaves falling in autumn. He listened to how they sounded with snow on top of them everywhere.

Winter was his favorite time of year. When he would go and climb the trees to get away from his troubles the snow would basically sound proof all of the noise around him. It would sound proof the hateful comments and all of the conflict from the voice in his head that told him to listen to those words. Yea, that's why winter was his favorite time to cry his heart out. Because no one was there to hear him and say he was a crybaby.

_____

He hated hurting. That's why at the age of 13 on his birthday he ran away from the hell they called an orphanage. He found a beautiful and kind woman who he gave away everything for. His kindness, his heart, his words, his food, his  money he earned because she told him to. he gave away everything for her. She was his fiancé I guess you could say. She promised to marry him if he gave her everything. He did. Because he wanted to feel, wanted.

Zenitsu Agatsuma was a stupid young man. That's why she took everything he had given to her and left him for her boyfriend.

Yea. Zenitsu Agatsuma was and idiot. For believing he could be happy for once in his god awful life. Every chance of happiness he got was ripped away In an instant. He had parents. They didn't want him. He had people who thought he was cool. They decided he wasn't worth being oo'd at. He had a lovely and 'kind' 'fiancé'. She told him he was just a pest and left him in a huge amount of debt.

_____

He loved' woman. He always thought that people should cherish what they have and try and keep it, to hold onto it for as long as they can. That's why he gave her everything. He saw a chance to be happy and he took it. He cherished what he had and, he tried his best to hold onto it. But apparently he wasn't enough. She took what he gave her, for granted. She put him in debt because she was selfish. He tried to be the best person for her, to make her happy. Bye her dinner at her favorite udon cart a mile away, he gave her every ounce of happiness he had. God. Why do people take what they have for granted. Why do they take Him for granted?

_______

Zenitsu Agatsuma had nothing. No-one. He was alone. That was his luck from the start. So from now on Zenitsu will just run away. Like he did 2 1/2 months ago when he ran away from the orphanage.

_______

Well that's it for this chapter! This is for fun and because I don't like Kaigaku for being a b*tch. So Kaigaku is still going to be a bit of an ass but he will not be like in the manga. Ykyk. He'll grow in time.

I tried my best to make it like his cannon backstory. (Orphan, gets screwed over by a girl he wanted to marry) yea. Also his good hearing.
And the books on demons thought I would throw that in there lol.

Zenitsu deserves better that's all imma say-
