Zenitsu POV

I am such a failure! I'll never find love!!!

"Why do I have to be such a weakling?! Can't I just be as strong as Inosuke or Murata?"

Suddenly I was wrapped in a warm hug and I jumped. I looked up and saw a magenta hair colored boy looking at me with a smile on his face.

"You aren't a weakling. You may cry but that doesn't mean you're weak." he said soothingly.

"You don't understand! I can't do anything right! I can't fight, I can't stand up for myself, I-"

His hand covered my mouth suddenly and he said with a frown, "Don't you dare finish that sentence."

I whimpered and squeezed my eyes shut trying to cut back a sob. His hand left my mouth and I couldn't hold it in anymore. I burst out sobbing. He pulled me closer and I pushed my face into his shoulder sobbing uncontrollably. I felt so embarrassed that a complete stranger was seeing me cry this way. But I could hear his heartbeat and it was so soothing.

(Time Skip)

Once I calmed down I told him, "I am sorry you had to see me that way. I didn't mean to get snot all over your sweatshirt." Now that I saw it he had a green and black checkered sweatshirt which were unusual colors but they went perfectly together.

He smiled and said, "It's ok. I don't mind." I smiled slightly and looked down at the grass I was sitting on.

"Do you mind telling me why you were crying?" Oh crap. He asked. I didn't really want him to ask...

"It's ok you don't have to tell me." he said softly interrupting my train of thought. I looked up and observed his face for a moment. He had reddish eyes that look a lot like his hair color. His smile was small but it gave off a kind vibe.

"I was crying because I am such a weakling," I said as he sat down next to me. "I just wish I was more like my grandpa. He is so strong and brave and I am weak and a crybaby all the time."

The boy sighed and said to me, "It's ok if you are a crybaby and you aren't strong. Those are only a small part of you. You have so much more than just those things inside of you. You just don't know it yet." I looked at him in disbelief. No one has ever said something like that to me before.

I sniffled and he pulled me in for a hug. We stayed like that for what felt like hours. His heartbeat is so soothing.

Tanjiro POV

I sat down next to the blonde boy and hugged him trying to get him to feel better.

"It's ok if you are a crybaby and you aren't strong. Those are only a small part of you. You have so much more than just those things inside of you. You just don't know it yet," I told him. He rested his head on my chest and we stayed there for about 30 minutes, maybe more. Eventually I heard a little snore coming from the boy and I smiled. I decided to let him sleep and soon I drifted off as well.

I woke up to birds chirping in the tree branches above me. I looked down at the boy who was still fast asleep. I shook him slightly and he groaned about the noises. I chuckled slightly and shook him a bit more. He opened his eyes slightly and jerked awake.

He looked around and saw me and nearly screamed, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to fall asleep on you! Can you ever forgive me!" He began to cry and I started to laugh a bit.
