Muichiro

It was lunchtime now, and Muichiro was sitting at his usual spot outside. He caught himself looking over at the door every couple of seconds in search of Tanjiro. He wasn't sure why he was so excited to see Tanjiro, maybe he was just happy to have someone to eat with.

"Sorry I'm late..My friends were giving me shit for ditching them." Tanjiro sat down in front of Muichiro.

What was that supposed to mean? "It's alright. I don't mind."

They sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Tanjiro spoke up again. "Well, I noticed that you had instagram the other day when we saw that post.."

Muichiro frowned and shrunk back. Tanjiro must've noticed the change in his mood because his expression softened.

"Uh, nevermind that. I just wanted to know your user so we can follow eachother!"

"Follow eachother? Why would you want to follow me? People from school will see that and then they'll know that you talk to me.." Muichiro shook his head 'no.'

"I don't care about that. We're friends now, they won't bother you anymore. I talked to them." He pulled out his phone and unlocked it. After a bit of swiping he handed his phone to Muichiro.

Muichiro stared at it. "What do you want me to do with it?" He looked up at Tanjiro.

"I want you to find your account and follow it from mine!" He smiled.

Muichiro sighed but he still took the phone and began typing in his username. Once it showed up he pressed the follow button. "There. I don't really post much..please ignore the pictures they're kind of bad." He took out his own phone and followed Tanjiro back. He noticed that Tanjiro had a lot of followers, which wasn't surprising. He was suddenly embarrassed that he only had three followers. Why did he care about what Tanjiro thought about him?

"I'm sure it's not bad! Hey I know, we should take a picture right now!" Tanjiro moved next to Muichiro.

"Right now?"

"Yes! Right now. Smile!" Tanjiro wrapped his arm around Muichiro's shoulder and leaned in. He quickly took a picture and showed it to Muichiro. "Ah! You look really cute there."

Muichiro's eyes widened and he started to blush out of embarrassment. He attempted to hide his face as he watched Tanjiro type a caption.

'Hanging out with my friend!'

Friend. Why did that disappoint him?

"Posted! Now let's get to class, I'll see you after school." Tanjiro slid his phone into his back pocket and stood up. He waited for Muichiro to stand up too and they walked back into the building. The bell that signals the end of lunch rang and they walked their seperate ways towards their last class.
