You gotta love a Saturday. I love a Saturday. Probably because we have nothing to do on that day. It was raining outside, though. I could tell because I could hear the rain from inside.

Anyway, I was in my box, listening to the music in my earbuds when I heard a knock on my box door.

???: Hey, Nezuko? Are you awake?

I paused the music on my phone and knocked back.

???: Okay, good! Well, since its raining and we don't have any missions, we were thinking about baking cookies. Would you like to join us?

I gasped. I remembered that I always loved to help Mom bake cookies when I was little. So, I pushed open my box door and crawled out. The person who was asking me about baking cookies was none other than my loving(and only)older brother, Tanjiro. It was never a bore to see his kind red eyes and his soft smile(Look me in the eyes 👀 and tell me this isn't the cutest and heart-warming-est thing an Imouto can say to her Onii~Chan).

Tanjiro: One more thing! Since we'll be baking, I think we'll need these aprons. I don't really find it appropriate to bake in our uniforms. *Takes a pink apron and hands it to me* Here's yours.

I stood up and started to put on the apron over my kimono after removing my haori. I gotta say, I looked not too shabby at all.

Tanjiro: *Stands up and pats my head*

Me: Mmmph. *Thinking* I wonder what kind of cookies we'll bake.

Tanjiro: *Stops patting my head* Well, I need to change. Zenitsu and Inosuke should be in the kitchen, waiting.

I nodded. When my Onii~Chan left to his room, I immediately started to put my haori in my box where my phone and earbuds where. That;s when I heard a very startling sound.

???: NEZUKO~CHAN!!

I turned around to see my friend Zenitsu at the kitchen doorway just smiling at me. I smiled and waved at him.

Zenitsu: Awww! You're so cute in that apron.

I wanted to say thank you, but I couldn't. Bamboo muzzle stopped that from being a reality.

???: Hey, Monitsu!

My other friend, Inosuke had also emerged from the kitchen. I smiled and waved at him too. He, like me and Zenitsu, had an apron but blue.

Inosuke: *Glares at me* Eh, Monjiro's sister's waving at me. Is she okay?

Zenitsu: *Gets upset* Yes, she's okay. Nezuko~Chan's an angel from above. *Simp breathing* Isn't she so cute in her pink apron Tanjiro bought her.

My friends were without a doubt weird. For starters, Zenitsu was a dedicated simp of me. He'd rather die than see anyone try to steal my heart, so he said. And Inosuke is a wild boar. Really, all he thinks about is fighting or trying to be stronger than both Tanjiro and Zenitsu. But despite being wildcards, they were still good friends to both me and my brother, and that's all that matters.

Eventually, Tanjiro returned in a green apron with a white shirt and some pants. Actually, there was something I noticed about the boys. Like, Tanjiro and Zenitsu were the only ones witha shirts under their aprons. Inosuke literally slapped his apron over his regular wear. It kinda reminded me of that time when Dad would be wearing his apron with pants but no shirt. A weird thing I prayed everything Tanjiro would never do himself.

Tanjiro: Okay, is everyone ready to bake some cookies?

Zenitsu: *Smiles very big* I am!

Inosuke: Yeah, let's bake cookies.
