A dare | Tanjirou x Kanao

CHAPTER 5: Decision

CHAPTER 5: Decision

The Tan!
I thought of what you said
And I think I've already decided.

In the Butterfly Mansion~
Kanao's POV

"So, Kanao do you already like someone in school?" Shinobu nee-san asked me, we're currently eating dinner that Aoi cooked, it's the best as usual.

Now back from Shinobu nee-san's question I'm confuse..... Maybe she accidentally added this 'someone' but if I think of it.... Yeah maybe as a friend but I'm not sure if they're saying as a boy or what, but it seems like it.

"How cute that Kanao has already someone she likes~!" Kanae nee-san cheerfully but softly said, "But I didn't say anything yet." I said quietly.

"I guess there's someone who I like that I met today...." I added, should I even say who? I saw their faces shocked from what I said. "Tell it! Who is it!" Aoi shouted curiously, which results for Shinobu nee-san to put a finger on her mouth signaling to lower Aoi's voice, Aoi nodded and apologized.

"Ne (a sweet "Hey"), Kanao can you tell who it is?" Kanae nee-san asked, "You know it's okay if you don't want to say it, I was just teasing you." Shinobu nee-san added.

Shinobu's POV

I couldn't actually believe she already has someone she likes! It's a relief it's only as a friend, Kamado-kun is just so famous around the girls in 2nd years even in every year! and just literally hit on my sister that fast.

"Um it's Tanjirou a-and also Nezuko..." Kanao said she's kind of blushing? And she just said it straight-forward, I'm happy that she also likes a friend that's a girl.

"But.... It doesn't mean I fully like Tanjirou already... I don't know him much yet... " Kanao added shyly. Well this is expected anyways, "Don't worry Kanao I'll help you with him!" Aoi assured.

And there's more different today, it's Kanao talking to random people in school even though they've just met, she wouldn't actually talk to them except when they're partnered for a project, since she don't like talking much mostly to random people but I guess this class 2-A make her speak as she wants or should I just say their class president let her but I'm not saying forcefully.

It seems like there's a lot have happened today for Kanao, I'm really glad that Tomioka-san's class was safe after all I didn't need to worry.

Kanae's POV

We finished eating our dinner and get ready to bed, before I forgot to told Aoi, "Aoi please guide Kanao to her room, you know how she's scared of dark." Aoi nodded, "Hai nee-san, you don't need to tell this everyday you know." I smiled and Aoi followed Kanao to go to her room.

When Kanao was young, she really hates darkness, she has a trauma for it. When she's young, she said that her parents can be abusive, causing for Kanao to be scared of dark thinking her parents are there doing harm on her.

I was sadden when there's still parents that are abusive to their own children, I just hope she gets over it soon. That's why I always ask Aoi to guide her into her room and sometimes Kanao would go into my room to get a goodnight sleep, I would hug her and reassure her that everything's fine until she falls asleep, she's still cute tho.

"Oyasumi... (Good night...)"

Kanao's POV

Aoi guided me in my room as usual, "Are you okay leaving you here?" she asked me, I nodded, "Mhm, Good night Aoi and thanks." she still looked at me worryingly, I smiled and reassure her that I'm fine, "Alright, just go to my room since it's just next to yours. Good night." she said. She hugged me before she goes to her room.
