"...What." Y/N blinked a couple of times. He couldn't move. His breath got caught in his throat for a bit, but the lack of oxygen made him realise that he was just stood there in front of the class staring. He didn't even notice his teacher calling out to him until Mr. Tengen actually decided to wave his hand in front of the boy.

"Y/N? Are you alright? Do you need to go see the nurse? CAN YOU EVEN HEAR ME ???" The teacher was panicking, but Y/N flashed him a quick smile when he realised what was happening and quickly bowed. "I deeply apologise this happens sometimes I'm so sorry !" Y/N blurted out, a bit too fast. He didn't think the teacher really caught what he said, but he just ran to his seat and sat down quickly, hiding his face in his hands in embarrassment.

A lot of people were giving him confused looks. Others were already whispering to eachother. That all made Y/N blush. Not the kind of blush when you're flustered, but the kind of blush after you've screwed up, badly. When you feel your entire body burning like you have a horrible fever, your head hurts and you want to throw up. That's just how he felt, until he heard a small 'psst' from his left, making him turn to face a burgundy-haired boy with red-ish eyes. The boy whispered to him, "Hey, I know you might feel like you've just embarrassed yourself a lot, but that's fine ! We've all had at least one embarrassing school story ! Nobody in here is any better !" then he flushed him the most heart-warming smile Y/N had ever seen in his life. It made him smile a little, too. "Thanks, that's very nice of you to say.." He whispered back, giving him a bigger smile. "Hey, wanna hang out with me and my friends during next lunch? We were all eager to meet you and I'm sure you're in a bit of a need of friends,," the burgundy boy giggled a bit as he whispered the last part, but it wasnt a mean giggle, more like a polite and friendly one. Y/N raised a brow thinking about it, but then shrugged. "Yeah, sure." he gave the boy a tight-lipped smile and turned back around to try and pay attention to class, but the boy to his right was making it really difficult to do so as he was staring into his soul.

The sound of the bell echoed in the building, all students got up, Y/N waiting for his classmate to take the lead, which he did, leading the shorter boy to the cafeteria. They were the first to sit down, so they took it as a chance to introduce themselves. Well, more like the red-eyed boy introducing himself since Y/N said his name at the start of the class. "Well, I realised I never told you my name ! I'm Kamado Tanjiro, I'm very pleased to meet you !" Tanjiro grinned. "It's a pleasure, Tanjiro. Thank you for being so nice to me already, heh." Y/N giggled a bit at the last part, looking down. The situation made him remember of the horrible time he had at his old school in contrast to how this place has treated him so far. He smiled sadly, but soon the table filled up with a lot of semi-unfamiliar faces, except for one; Muichiro.

"Oh hello ! You must be the new kid, I'm Nezuko, Tanjiro's sister !" The pink-eyed girl gave Y/N a close-eyed smile, extending a hand, which the boy shook. "Hello, I'm Y/N. I don't think I saw you in our class? Are you younger or older than us?" the h/c boy tilted his head, maintaining a small smile on his lips. "Ah, yeah ! I'm younger by a year, haha" Nezuko nodded and giggled, letting go of his hand. A femme-faced boy suddenly banged his hands against the table, standing up a bit. "You ! I want you to fight me, now ! I must see if you are worthy of hanging out with the great Inosuke Hashibira !" the guy yelled with a somewhat raspy voice, pointing a finger at Y/N. "Maybe after school, I wouldn't like to get expelled on my first day here.." Y/N smiled sheepishly "Nice to meet you though, Inosuke." he bowed his head a bit, giggling. "I already like him !" Inosuke said loudly, wrapping an arm around Y/N's neck and rubbing the top of his head, having both of them giggle a bit. "Oi, Inosuke you idiot you're gonna hurt the poor dude !!" A boy with yellow mop-like hair yelled at the dual coloured, black and blue haired boy, earning an angry face from him. "Oh, I'm Zenitsu by the way. Nice to meet you Y/N." he said in-between bickering with his friend. "A-ah, I see, nice to meet you too-" Y/N said a bit awkwardly as he watched the two fight verbally as Inosuke had a grip on Zenitsu's shirt, with Tanjiro holding back the arm that the boy was about to punch the yellow-haired dude with, continuously apologising to Y/N while yelling at the two to quit acting like children, until a few teachers came and dragged the 3 away, Nezuko followed them close behind to make sure they would be okay. That meant that him and Muichiro were all alone, awkwardly staring at eachother.

"So uh,, nice weather we have today, huh?" Y/N said, a bit comically. Muichiro stayed silent, staring his beautiful dull eyes piercing into the other boy's soul. "Where do I know you ?" The long-haired boy finally spoke. It took Y/N by surprise, but those words stung so bad. His whole body was hurting in a matter of seconds. Like someone had shot a poisonous arrow into his chest. "Mui..." Y/N frowned. He was about to break down. His childhood best friend, childhood crush, first love, you name it. He had forgotten them. "Please think. Please remember.." The e/c boy pleaded, somewhat. "I'm sorry. I suffer amnesia ever since,, my parents.. and my brother..." Muichiro looked down. He was sad, embarrassed, frustrated at himself and his stupid memory loss. He hated it. He hated not being able to remember important people. "I can't really remember anything from my childhood, just a few flashes of memories with my family and an old friend I had..? I'm not sure." he said quietly, his gaze still fixated on the floor tiles. "...That was me, though..." Y/N said sadly. Muichiro looked up at him. The boy was avoiding his gaze as he noticed a dripple of clear water-like liquid dropping off of his chin.

Y/N quickly wiped his tears and walked outside of the cafeteria, and behind the school at a quick pace. The teal-tip haired boy followed close behind him for a bit, but eventually lost him. He just sat there and cried his eyes out until the bell rang, signaling him to go back to the classroom along with the other students. Things were going so well. Too well. He knew he couldn't just have the happiness he wanted without a price. It hurt him so damn much.
