Bonds Unveiled

Navigating Tensions: A Night of Unsettled Moments

Nezuko and the rest of the group returned home after a long day, ready to unwind and rest. However, things didn't go as smoothly as they had hoped.

"Finally, we can go home and rest in peace," Nezuko sighed with relief.

"But wait, aren't you two staying over?" Kanao suggested with a smile.

Nezuko's face lit up. "Oh, that sounds fun! Can we stay, Tanjiro?"

Tanjiro hesitated for a moment, his expression showing a hint of disgust. "Uh, sure, but just for three days. It's vacation, after all."

"Okay, but did you bring enough stuff?" Kanao asked, concerned.

Nezuko assured her, "Don't worry, Kanao. I have extra pillows and mattresses in the closet for you two."

Tanjiro walked over to Muichirou and Kanao's luggage and pulled out two sleeping sets. "No need for that. I brought extra sets for us."

Muichirou couldn't help feeling a mix of disappointment and frustration. "Tonight, you two sleep in the living room, and Nezuko and I will sleep upstairs," Nezuko announced.

Haizzzz... yes, Nezuko's arrival ruined any chance of privacy between him and Mik tonight, Muichirou thought, his gaze downcast.

Tanjiro, sensing the tension, attempted to make amends. "Oh, can you stay at my house for three more days? Anyway, it's vacation."

Nezuko laughed happily. "That sounds like fun! Let's extend our stay!"

Muichirou's face darkened. He couldn't help but feel sad and angry that Tanjiro, who already had a girlfriend, was disrupting their plans. He knew expressing his emotions would only make things worse, so he kept quiet, bottling up his frustrations.

Later, as they settled in for the night, Muichirou remembered his forgotten glasses in the bathroom. He opened the door to retrieve them but was suddenly confronted by Tanjiro.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Tanjiro's voice sounded accusatory.

Muichirou stuttered, "That's not right, I forgot to go in but..."

"You don't have to lie, are you waiting for my little sister in front of the bathroom forever?" Tanjiro grabbed Muichirou by the collar, his face filled with anger.

Kanao, stepping in, tried to diffuse the situation. "Stop, Tanjiro. Let it go. He couldn't have been peeking."

Ignoring them, Tanjiro glared at Muichirou with sharp eyes. "Fine, you can be a girl. I won't blame you, Muichirou."

Muichirou felt a mix of frustration and confusion. He couldn't understand why Tanjiro, who already had a girlfriend, was so insistent on causing trouble and disrupting their dynamics.

Eventually, Nezuko entered the bathroom, knocking on the door. "Hey, hurry up, it's public!"

Muichirou hastily got dressed, pushing aside his inner turmoil. He resigned himself to the reality of the situation, knowing that the night would be filled with unspoken tensions as they all sought to find their place within the group dynamics.
