muichiro was standing like a stick in a middle of a huge party. he had a red solo cup in his hand filled with sparkling soda. the only reason why he was there was because he was dragged by nezuko. nezuko had always been an outgoing person, and never missed any party she got invited to. while she was a outgoing extrovert, muichiro was a very quiet introvert.
he tapped the screen of his phone and checked the time. he sighed, and went to find nezuko. it was getting late. and he wanted to go home and binge watch 'attack on titan'. he wanted to eat ramen and snuggle in his cozy bed. he was so tired and exhausted from the busy week he had. not to mention the piles of homework he has been receiving.
after walking around the house for a while, he found nezuko talking to her friends, kanao and aoi. but then he saw that perverted kid walk up to nezuko and her 2 friends. it made his blood boil. that blonde pervert had always shown interest in nezuko, and tried to hit on her every time he got the chance.
'nezuko-chan!!'
that cheeky disgusting smile of his made muichiro's fist tighten.
'hi there, zenitsu!'
although zenitsu has always been on the werid side, nezuko never minded it. she said that he was just being extra nice and he's just special like that. it angered muichiro a bit, but he couldn't do anything about it.
but once he saw zenitsu's hand on her bottom, he had to take action. he sped walked to the 2, and pushed them away from each other. he got ahold of the collar of zenitsu's shirt and tugged up.
'don't touch her.'
muichiro's face was red from the anger filling up his body. he didn't like seeing disgusting men harassing women.
'hehe... she liked it though.?~'
'shut the hell up, zenitsu. go fuck yourself.'
muichiro landed a punch on zenitsu's face, earning him a purple bruise for the next day. he punch him once more on the other cheek. it started to progressively get worse and worse. giving him more and more wounds and bruises.
'hey.. muichiro i think you should stop.' aoi, nezuko's friend said.
and yet he kept going.
'muichiro please stop..!' nezuko screamed.
at this point, everyone was watching. all eyes on them.
'he touched you though. he deserves it.'
'just stop please... let's go home.'
'but..'
'LETS GO PLEASE.!!'
nezuko was in tears. he heard the tiny hicks coming out of her throat.
muichiro finally let go of zenitsu, dropping him to the ground. the blonde boy was barely conscious. nezuko bid her friends goodbye and took the mint hair boys wirst and dragged him out.
they didn't exchange any words to each other. they were drowned in silence. he look to the right where nezuko was. he saw her red puffy eyes, and her tear stained cheeks. he felt so guilty.
'hey... i'm sorry' he whispered to her.
'don't apologize to me muichiro. you should go apologize to zenitsu. i wasn't the one getting beaten up.' she said in a raspy voice.
'i know... i'll go apologize tomorrow morning...'
'you should.' nezuko said.
the rest of the walk from the party to their shared apartment was filled with awkwardness. muichiro didn't dare to utter a word to his best friend and roommate. making her angrier would only result in a punishment. either she stopped being friends with him, kick him out of the apartment, or even both.
after arriving to their apartment, they both settled down on the grey soft comfy couch placed in their living room.
'look. i know you're mad, but i really didn't mean to hurt him that much.' he said.
'i know how to protect myself. stop trying to jump in whenever you feel like i'm being "hurt"' she said.
'i know, i know.'
'stop being so stupid and reckless.'
'oh wow, im sooooo sorry for trying to help you? keeping you safe from all of those freaks was all i wanted to do. who knows what they would've done to you if i wasn't there? maybe i am being over protective, or annoying. but at least i tried to help you'
'this is stupid. i'm so stupid.'
'muichiro... i-'
'stupid, stupid, stupid.'
tears started rolling down his eyes. it was a weird sight to see since muichiro nearly never cried. the last time he cried was when his dad's mom's, and twin brother's lives were taken away.
'i'm so stupid for meeting you. i'm so stupid for becoming your friend. i'm so stupid for falling for you.'
he took a look at nezuko one last time until he ran out the door.
'MUICHIRO..!!'
