Two boys walking beside eachother entered the school building, immediately spotting a familiar group of people gathered in a small corner. It was before classes started, so they had some time to socialise. "Hey guys. Sorry we left so suddenly yesterday." Y/N said apologetically as they reached the group. "You still have that stupid bruise on your cheek though, better explain. We don't care that you left, we care that you won't open to us when we are right here, ready to listen to you." Zenitsu replied with a firm tone, the other two nodding. "As I've told you guys, he probably doesn't want to for a good reason, so just leave him be." Muichiro piped in, defensively standing between the blond and the h/c boy. "We get that part, but we worry too. We care too. It isn't just you who cares for him. We get that you have a crush on him and shit, but we are his friends also." The gold-eyed male frowned at his ravenette friend, turning to see a flustered Y/N when he heard all that.They all stared at eachother in awkward silence, since none of them knew how to react, but Inosuke broke if by cackling loudly, getting hit on the head by Tanjiro after, who held a creepy smile as he did so. "Um. I'll just head to,, class..." Y/N said as he sprinted away to the class they all would have to enter at some point.

The other boys watched as he left, Muichiro turning to his blond friend immediately with an angry frown. "Zenitsu, what the fuck. What the hell were you thinking ?!" The sapphire male whisper-yelled at the honey-eyed boy, who rolled his eyes in annoyance. "It's painfully obvious that you like him. I could hear your heartbeat all the way from the front gate while you were walking together, so I thought I'd do you a favour and tell him straight away. Maybe now you'll get together or something." The highschool student retorted, crossing his arms. "Plus, he likes you too. It's the same from him. Whenever you're around, he acts weird and his heartbeat accelerates. You two are really obvious." He concluded, walking away to class, leaving a confused and flustered Muichiro to trail behind the other two boys who followed him.

Class had started somewhat early, since the history teacher- Mr. Rengoku, decided it would be a good idea to assign a grouo project that would take 2-3 people. Each trio or duo would be assigned something different to write about, but the theme was about Japan from early Heian to early Showa periods. It was definitely going to be an interesting project. Especially since people were allowed to choose the people they would get to group with. A lot of people approached Tanjiro, seeing as he was a straight A student, but of course he grouped up with Zenitsu and Inosuke in the end, because they were best friends. That made many of those students jump on Muichiro, since he, too, excelled in school, but he obviously chose to team with Y/N and nobody else, despite people pestering him to be a trio. He would just ignore them or rudely refuse to team with them, to get them off him- much to Y/N's amusement.

Soon enough, Mr Rengoku interrupted the loud chattering and arguing of the students. "Alright class, I'm assuming that you lot have picked your partners, so I will now assign you topics from the time period I've mentioned." Then he proceeded to note down the groups and assign a topic for each group. "You, Tokito and L/N, will do research on the mysterious rumors of demons during that era. Agatsuma, Hashibira and Kamado- you three will tackle the topic of the legendary myths of demon slayers. You all could probably help eachother out. Remember that this project is due next week, so don't waste any time !" (hehe see what I did there) It was very fortunate for the 5 to have such similar topics, one could only assume that the history teacher actually paid attention to his students' friendgroups.

The day went by pretty fast from there, the group were all very excited about the projects they would have to work on. Since if was Friday and Y/N was staying over at Muichiro's place for the weekend- with the unexpected consent of his mother- they decided they would work on the project when they get home and on Saturday, and would meet up with the 'Kamaboko' trio on Sunday to see what they've gathered. The presentation will be next Friday, so they'll have time to work on it further throughout the rest of the week too. They all agreed that the faster they are done with this project, the less stress they will have to deal with that week. Being a student really is tough, and Kimetsu Academy only teaches the best of the best, so it was expected for all of them to do well. That's definitely a lot of pressure for a teenager of 15.

"Hey, do you want to pass by the Kamados' bakery after school today? Maybe we could get some bread too, since we ran out 3 days ago and neither of my uncles can be arsed to get more." Muichiro suddenly spoke to Y/N, as they were about to enter their last class for that week. "Sure thing. Sad that we can't walk Tanjiro home, though. At least we'll see his mother! She's really sweet, all his family members are, actually." He cheered as they both stood outside the classroom. "Ah, you've met them before ? And why wouldn't we be able to walk him home ?" The sapphire was very confused, since he had never heard of the two being very close. "Yeah ! I was in trouble with my parents the other day and out of impulse we ended up going over to his house. It was a bit awkward, but everyone was very sweet, so I didn't mind too much. Also, didn't they say during lunch the three were going to an arcade?" The h/c boy blinked a few times, confused by how his friend had missed the loud conversation. "Ah, that makes sense then. And I think I forgot, heh." The teal-eyed boy smiled at the boy in front of him, before turning around to enter the class. He wouldn't have ended the conversation so early, if it weren't for the feeling of jealousy welling up in his chest. If was so overwhelming it made his throat get tight and mouth feel dry. He knew it was wrong to feel jealous over such a stupid thing, but he couldn't help it. What if Y/N liked the burgundy boy? It was unlikely, but he still seemed quite fond of Tanjiro, so he couldn't help but worry. The only option was to distract himself with the lecture, that wasn't very distracting in the first place
