now that things were finally settled over with tengen, you knew there was one final thing to do. before anyone else, you needed your friends back. no one was nor would ever be put before them again. you nervously bit the tips of your fingers while you paced back and forth.
"[y/n] it's going to be okay." tanjirou softly smiled. you had texted him after you left tengens yesterday to ask if you could talk to them all. they had all surprisingly agreed to talk to you although inosuke opposed at first. "but what if they don't forgive me?" you whined. you began to pace even faster, causing tanjirou to put a hand on your shoulder. "[y/n], they will hear you out. trust me." he assuredly hummed.
you tried to send a small smile and nod to his statement."there they are!" tanjirou smiled. inosuke walked through the park yard towards the both of you. it was the same park where you had the amazing pleasure of meeting gyutaro. zenitsu stood beside him, walking with his head down. your eyes connected with his and he quickly looked back down at his feet.
you felt yourself retreat into a tight shell. inosuke had a clear look of irritation plastered to him. "i'm only here because zenitsu begged me to hear you out." inosuke gruffed. "i can't thank you enough for that. thank you for coming." you smiled. inosuke rolled his eyes and looked at everything around but you.
"guys, i'm sorry for being such a b*tch lately." you started. "damn right." inosuke scoffed. you ignored his pestering and continued. "i don't know what had gotten a hold of me. i feel horrible for how i treated you all. thankfully last night, i was brought to my senses." you sigh, "there's nothing i want more then to have you guys back, if you'll take me."
"I MISSED YOU SO MUCH [Y/N]!" zenitsu shouted. he ran at you with open arms, pushing you back as he tightly hugged you. tanjirou came up from behind to join the now forming group hug. "yeah yeah i forgive you i guess." inosuke pouted. he tightly folded his arms under his chest and rolled his eyes once again.
from behind zenitsu, you flicked him off earning you a bird back. you could see a small smile forming on inosuke's lips. you started to smile back but he quickly regained his composure. you started to giggle, feeling a feeling of euphoria bubble from within you.
"[y/n]." your group dispersed as you all turn in the direction of your name being called. lord and behold, gyutaro slowly approached your group. his hand were dug into his sweatpants pockets as he slouched over. your heart sank into your stomach. you weren't ready to face after what he had done. you had honestly planned to completely ghost him.
"gyutaro." tanjirou nodded. "[y/n] please let me explain." gyutaro pleaded. he stood just inches from you. his eyes burned into yours as he leaned into you. "please baby, i don't think you know what you saw."
"are you f*cking serious?!" you catechize, "you we're f*cking another girl right in front of me." "baby i know and i messed up but-" "f*ck you, i don't want to hear it. whatever we had going on, it's over." you deadpan. "no no i don't think you understand [y/n], you need to listen." gyutaro hissed. he took your wrist in his, pulling you towards him.
you pushed him away by his chest, clutching your hand. "touch her again and i swear i will f*ck you up." inosuke hissed. he stood in front of you, fist tightened into balls. you could tell he just wanted a reason to fight him.
"try me." gyutaro laughed. inosuke swiftly brought up his right fist connecting it to gyutaro's jaw. gyutaro stumbled back grasping his chin. he spat out some blood on the grass before shaking his head. he ran at inosuke wildly. he rapidly threw his fists around. you heard what sounded like a knock on a wooden door. inosuke fell back on his butt.
"i promise i'll f*cking kill you !" inosuke growled. he popped up off the ground as he started to sack gyutaro in his stomach forcefully. gyutaro began to cough harshly in response to the hits. inosuke took shots to his face while gyutaro coughed. a crunching noise could be heard as gyutaro clutched his face once again. both boys turned into a blur of arms and legs.
"for f*ck's sake!" you growl. zenitsu ran up to the boys shouting profane things, pleading them to stop. when he realized it wasn't working, he stopped. moving behind gyutaro, zenitsu kicked him in the back of the leg causing gyutaros leg to fold in.
gyutaro cursed in pain as he fell foward. inosuke got on top of him and began to continue his act of violence. you knew tanjirou didn't condone in violence but, as he walked toward inosuke to pull him away, you saw a smile on his lips.
"alright inosuke , he's done, it's over." tanjirou laughed. inosuke huffed as he slowly found his ground. as you walked over to see the damage that had been done: you gasped.
you dropped down to gyutaro to check his pulse. both of his eyes had seemed to be swollen shut. his nose was shifted to the side, a waterfall of blood dripping out. his mouth and lips were dry caked with blood as well. you looked up at inosuke who had a few scratches and a black eye forming.
"gyu just breath. i'll call someone or something." you call to him. "why are you defending him after what he did?" inosuke irritatedly spat. "because i wouldn't want to see him die. that goes for anyone." you reply.
"there's no need. he'll be fine after an ice pack." akaza chuckled. He was smoking a spiff, looking down at gyutaro. He shook his head and laughed once again. "i can fix his nose."
akaza inhaled a deep breath before blowing out a thick stream of smoke. he walked around gyutaros body to see the damage from all angles. "i told him not to come here. no dude in the right state of mind would find inosuke's old crazy ass." akaza laughed.
inosuke clenched his fist causing akaza to put his hands up in surrenderment. "don't worry mr. tough guy, i don't want problems aight?" he genteelly smiled.
"f*ck my head." gyutaro whined. "yeah yeah, let's go home." akaza chuckles. he hoisted gyutaro up and helped him slowly limp away. you could hear akaza mock gyutaro about his fight as they strayed further away. "can we get some food? i'm starving." inosuke questioned. "i think after that, you deserve something to eat." zenitsu sighed. "then it's on me." You smiled.
