Zenitsu's Mission: Part 2 (Zennezu)

Here is the second part to this one-shot so I hope you like it!

Nezuko's POV

It was finally nighttime when I was able to leave the room and visit Zenitsu and see how bad his health is. So when I entered the hallway I immediately locked onto the direction towards the recovery room. I quickly but quietly went towards the room and anticipation building up inside me as the quality and well-being of Zenitsu was swirling inside me as I didn't know if anything major like not being able to walk again scared me or losing his hearing in one or both ears. I almost cried thinking about it but held it in as it was foolish that I would think of something like that. I soon got to the recovery door room and grabbed the handle. I just stood there just staring at the handle not knowing what I might walk in on. Be positive, he's tough. I know he can be fine I thought. That fueled my confidence and I then looked in front of me. I turned the knob and opened the door with a creak, They really need to oil the hinges, geez I thought as I entered and searched around. I soon laid eyes on a lump in a bed so I walked up to it not getting a good look at the person.

       Once I got close, the persons back was towards me and they had yellow hair that faded into orange. A smile crept into my face seeing how he's fine and he's not hurt. So I just aimlessly turned him onto his back. The look on my face to anyone who saw it would have thought I saw a dead body. On Zenitsu's right eyes was a gauze bandage and just around the rim of the bandage was a black and dark red color which worried me. He also had a bit of labored breathing and he had a splint on his left arm which made me tear up a bit. He had an IV in the back of hand, or at least thats what they called the medical equipment. At this point I was now on my knees leaning my head on his bed trying not to touch his left arm in case I might add pressure hurting him and probably further prolonging his arms healing. My tears cascaded down my cheeks and staining the bed. It was like a nightmare, a nightmare that felt so real. A nightmare that I really wanted to end badly and to just wake up to Zenitsu walking into my room and saying "NEZUKO~CHANNNNN~" to me and me having my day or night whatever you would call it be brighter and worth to live in a bit more.

I suddenly felt a hand on top of my head starting to pat it slowly and gently, I immediately looked up at auburn eye. "Please don't cry, Nezuko-Chan. It pains me to see you sad and down casted. I want to see your happiness show, I want it to brighten my day like it usually does. So please, stop your crying and please smile for me" Zenitsu said as he mustered a smile with half tired eyes that were also full of concern. I quickly rubbed my eyes and looked at him with as much happiness I can muster. And without thinking, I hugged him pulling him close to me trying to get his usual warmth. "Nezuko-Chan. Please let go, kinda hurts" Zenitsu grunted out and I immediately let go and looked at his body to see if he was hurt anywhere I can treat. I gave him my most 'I'm sorry' look I could give him, "It's ok. Just please be careful next time" Zenitsu smiled at me as he tried his best to sit up with little pain. I immediately took his right arm and gently and slowly helped him up. "Thanks Nezuko-Chan" Zenitsu smiled as he looked at me, I blushed a bit and looked away.

"In case your wondering, Miss Kochou said I was lucky to not lose sight out of this eye and where an eyepatch. If it was another centimeter deep I would have lost sight, but thankfully I get off with only a scar that's kinda noticeable. I also have to lay off this arm for 3 weeks while it heals, I also have a rib that was half broken. But should heal in 3 weeks as well, she said that I will have to stay in bed but leave only to use the restroom. Other than that I have to stay in bed, kinda sucks, not being able to see people unless they come to see me. Also that Aoi girl is scary and mean, she yells all the time, Inosuke must love their screaming matches" Zenitsu then looked down at his lap, down casted. I placed my hand on his and he immediately started to burn up as he looked at my hand. He looked at me and looked like he was about to malfunction. I quickly took it away but before I could retract it to my side he grabbed it with both hands. He then placed it back on his lap and had his hand atop of mine.

I blushed immensely and just looked at him. We just stared at each other and soon we started to cut the awkwardness and just relive the memories we missed out on.

It's been a few weeks and I decided to move my box to the room where he is staying and decided to keep him company since he doesn't seem like he has much. Shinobu when she first saw my box in the room thought Zenitsu brought it in and it almost sounded like she was a bit mad for doing it. Zenitsu made a desperate attempt to correct the confusion and if I wasn't going to die by the sun I would come out and try to clear up the situation. There were times where this girl, Mitsuri I think the snake guy called her whenever they would walk past me and Zenitsu and she would always shriek of happiness. But there were times I would here her say "YOUNG LOVE!!!" And that made my heart flutter and pound at the same time which confused me. The first time my brother saw my box in here, I thought he would make Zenitsu be bed ridden for the next year for how overprotective and murderous he sounded. I almost wanted to kick him in the sensitive spot for threatening Zenitsu when it wasn't his fault I was in here. I mean it kind of is but he couldn't bring me in here even if he tried with how bad his conditions are.

Zenitsu cleared up the confusion and my brother calmed down but promised to kill him if he did anything to me. Which I thought was sweet but kinda over the top if you ask me. But other than that he went through rehabilitation training to get his strength back and be back to normal. He would be extra tired at night so our conversations were short, but he did try to hold out as long as he can before falling asleep.

During his training I've been thinking about what that Mitsuri lady said those times about "Young love" and my feelings for Zenitsu. Do I love him romantically? No. He's just a best friend, brother even. But why does he make me so happy and feel so normal when no one else can do that to me? Do I really have feelings for Zenitsu? I mean the clues point to it, but it could be a childish crush that will probably pass as I get older. "NEZUKO~CHANNNNN~!" Zenitsu yelled as he walked in the room making my heart flutter.

Fuck it ok in love with him.
