Your POV

"Tanjiro, quick put your arm around me."

Rushing to his side as you make this request. Watching your comrade lose his breath as his eyes widen in shock.

Please Tanjiro... Hurry

He hesitates before resting his arm over your shoulder. Bodies incredibly close to each other. You peek over his shoulder to see the Kakushi mumble something before sulking away.

"Phew. That worked! Thank you." Looking directly into Tanjiro's eyes when you realize just how close you actually are. His breath tickling your face.

"I am very confused. What worked?." Tanjiro admits as he lowers his arm back to his side. His other hand ruffling his thick messy hair.

"Sorry." Lowering your head in shame. "Honestly a member of the Kakushi has been stalking me. He makes me feel very uncomfortable. I have asked him to leave me alone but nothing has worked. Until just now."

Tanjiro is being a good friend by listening carefully to your problem, "Do you want me to talk to him? I am sorry that is happening to you."

"Thank you, Tanjiro. I think that would make it worse." Your fingers pinch the bridge of your nose. "I have a better solution to avoid conflict."

"Really? That is great news." That charming smile of his is like sun beams.

Taking a deep inhale before asking, "Uh. I am glad to hear you say that. Tanjiro... Would you do me this one favor? Please, pretend to be my boyfriend?"

His jaw drops open as his face heats up from your question. Hurrying you add, "Just until my stalker believes it. I am sure that he will leave me alone if he knows I belong to you."

He hesitates for a moment while considering this. A warm hue across his cheeks as his eyes watch you carefully.

"I am willing to help you. I don't know how I feel about lying to people. I am not very good at pretending." Tanjiro confesses, "Maybe we should tell a Hashira or inform the Master instead."

"I don't want to get the Kakushi in trouble... I just want him to leave me alone."

Looking at Tanjiro's handsome face as the idea of being his pretend girlfriend sounds very appealing. Trying to think of something to convince him.

"You know, if we do this, then Zenitsu will finally stop teasing you about not having a girlfriend." Adding to the temptation which catches his attention. Tanjiro shifts his gaze down to avoid your eye contact.
