That Time Zenitzu Got drunk

An Awkward Interruption

( Okay but like maybe a little outta the box opinion here but like fanfics that were written in like 2014-2016 with all those tropes like " closet kiss" " truth or dare" "Fake dating" That shit was good asf. I WILL TAKE NO CRITICISM THOSE FANFICS ARE THE SHIT!! ANywaysss Sorry it took so long to update assignments were trying to run me over with a bus. Enjoy byeeee!!)

Tanjiro's POV

Since I got off work early today I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to visit Zenitsu at his job, after all it is so fun to tease him.

I called up Nezuko letting her know I would be home early today and by the time I was done talking to her the bus had pulled up. A few stops go by and the needlessly crowded bus simultaneously becomes less and less full. After about 15 minutes of this my stop finally comes around.

Only being a few blocks away from the cafe I decide to take my time walking there admiring what little scenery it did have and helping a few people with minor tasks.

Without too much fuss I arrive at the cafe opening the door to hear the soothing jiggle of the bell. Walking through the entrance I don't see him standing at the register but am suddenly hit with this super strange smell, almost a sour like scent. Similar to anger or malice. I feel like I remember it from somewhere. Looking around the counter I stand there waiting for someone to serve me. 

It's really weird, Zen rarely takes breaks when he's on his shift-

"Tanjiro- you're just in time aren't you."

Huh what a weird thing to say. I'm suddenly surrounded by the scent, now I remember. It's a deathly scent mixed with hints of wisteria.Turning around I come face to face with the unusually calm Kanao. 

"Hey Kanao what's up!"

And that's all I'm able to get out before I feel an all but delicate fist hit the left side of my face.

Inosuke's POV

We stood there silently for a few moments and I slowly felt the rising heat in my face go down. He seemed calmer as well, lucky for me but I do kinda miss his angry face, it was like a very chirpy bird. I really like birds they're so cute. 

Too bad though he's all bark and no bite, I guess getting flung up against a washroom stall isn't necessarily bark either. Would you call that a nibble then? Or maybe a slice? NO no maybe like a-

"You're an asshole,"

Dropping his arm from my neck I can feel the air around him change, it was honestly kinda freighting. 

"What-"

"We COULD'Ve dIEd yOU absOLUte IMBECILE, DID YOU wannA PUt us bOTH up FOr THE deAth PeNAlty!!!!??????"

What the hell was this dude talking about?

"We cOULD've dIED OUt thERe And POOR, POor TAnjiro I Hope HE nEVER HAs to FACE THEM AGain!!!"

This guy was now seriously scaring me. I mean those girls seem incredibly strong but I highly doubt they would do anything crazy. Right?

"What the hell are you talking about blondie!?" I shout back.

Rushing forward he grabs a fistful of my t-shirt pulling me towards him with his face now abnormally close to mine.

"THose GIRLss ARe DEvilS INSoUKe, DEvilS!!!"

At this point he's shoving his face into mine the slightest hint of lemon invading my nostrils. Damm does he always invade peoples personal space like this, I'm really not used to it.

"THey MAy LOOk pRETTY BUt THEy'll HAng your IntEStines up tO DRYY iNOsuke!! TO DrYYYY!!" He whisper yells.

I have no idea what the hell I did or what to do but I can't tell if this guy is on the verge of crying or passing out, possibly both, I can even see the vein in his forehead almost ready to burst. 

"NOw we're gonna exit this bathroom and you're gonna run, not walk, run out that fucking door, do you understand me-"

I hear a loud slam as the door swings open followed by a body pathetically fall onto the tiled floor with a loud thump and groan.

Taking a glance at Zenitsu I watch as all the blood leaves his face making him look ghostly as though he had already accepted his fate. His hands loosen on my shirt slowly lowering me to the ground. As amusing as it is what was he looking at to make him look so terrified. I can almost see the soul attempting to leave his body.

And that when I hear it.

"Now if he doesn't want to explain maybe you two will."

Turning my attention back towards the door I see the ponytailed woman standing there blocking it from falling closed again, and that's when I look at the floor again and my blood runs cold.

"Tanjiro?"
