Awoken by the subtle shake of Nezuko, Zenitsu blinked, eyes diluted irritated by the bright moonlight creeping through the room. Nezuko shook him once more, yet it had more aggression this time he lifted his body up, an audible huff escaping his lips. "Nezuko... Hi." Zenitsu spoke, sleep-painting his face, Nezuko nudges his hand, and he stares mouth agape he had too much fatigue to react too much, he simply smiled. Nezuko's eyes peered up at him, her hair was even fluffier in the moonlight, and her bright pink eyes showed more emotion than ever. Red crept up his face, and to his surprise, she made a pleased noise, he noticed her watching his face intently, just as he had done to her. It was romantic, them blinking at each other, smiles painting their faces, even though Nezuko's was invisible to the eye, it was there, depicted by her eyes instead.Zenitsu slowly clasped his hand around Nezuko's, she watched him with a serious expression in her eyes, Zenitsu brought his other hand to her hair, petting her slightly. His hair felt soft, she pushed her head into his hand, his mouth opened in surprise and he flushed red, he rubbed his thumb in circles on her head, his eyes still intent on watching his face. "Nezuko...?" Zenistu was in shock, he always thought Nezuko found his antics irritating, yet she was allowing him to hold her hair, the thought brought more red to his face. He smiled at her contently, "Thanks Nezuko-Chan..." Nezuko makes a noise of gratitude, to which Zenitsu stood up taking her hand, she stood up allowing herself to be pulled by Zenitsu's grasp.


Together they exit the mansion, Zenistu smiles to himself as he notices Nezuko's eyes still ageing him, yet they were painted in confusion, she seemed intrigued. "Haha, I'll take you where the flowers are blooming tonight, see I am keeping my promise." Nezuko nods, her eyes softening, Zenitsu pulls her beside him, and they walk side to side, he gazes at the moon, it was half full. It painted the entire landscape in a faint light grey, the earth bathed in moonlight, the pair had also been the din such sunlight, it was paired with the many stars that filled the night sky, the walk felt like a dream, a dream unachievable. The crunching of grass could be heard underneath their feet, they scurried across the grass together, both watching the moon with pleased gazes. "The moon is lovely tonight, isn't it Nezuko?" Zenitsu lets an unconditional smile spread across his face as he sees Nezuko admire the moon too.


"Here it is Nezuko, where the flowers bloom at night!" Zenitsu confidently points to the massive flower field in front of them, hills and hills of blue and white flowers mass the ground, crickets can be heard, and the faint aroma of pollen decorates the air. It all bathes under the moon and stars' eyes, Nezuko stands in awe, her eyes slowly analyzing the heavily coloured land. The flowers seem to glow under the moonlight, the green only causing them to complement the atmosphere more. Nezuko grasps Zenitsu's hand, pulling his across the fields, petals being thrown carelessly in the air as she treads along, Nezuko falls, happiness still in her eyes, Zenitsu stumbles over along with her, face planting into the flowers, letting out giggles after. They both looked up peering into each other's eyes, deep eye contact, both of them seeming to take in every detail in the eyes of the other, it was romantic.


Nezuko moved over to Zenistu, running her fingers through his hair, Zenitsu stared at her his face bright red, and her face stared up at the mood with concentration. Zenistu admired her face, the shape of her nose, her eyes half-lidded from concentration, the bamboo covering her mouth, she was sweet, unlike the other girls he's met before, Nezuko was beautiful on the inside and outside, and Zenitsu loved her for it, despite her inability to talk he admired her because her subtle noises formed a smile on anyone face. Nezuko began to twirl the strand of his hair in her hand, he admired the stones that had ancient pictures etched on them, yet a blur from here, he was able to make out people under the moon. Zenitsu watches the sky joining Nezuko as he points out images he sees in the stars. Both of them share smiles and giggles, the moon creeps lower down the sky, and yawns escape Zenitsu's mouth. "Nezuko we should head to the mansion, we wouldn't want to worry Tanjiro..." Nezuko nods.They both share a glance at the moon before they began to run towards the mansion once more, sleeping as though this moment was a figment of their imaginations.
