It's been an hour since Inosuke laid down, and for the life of him he can't sleep.

Sigh there's no reason he can't sleep, I mean he's slept there so many times before.

Tossing and turning inside the shikibuton, being pretty loud. Eventually, accidentally waking up Tanjiro, "Inosuke? Are you okay?" Tanjiros voice was scratchy and deeper from just waking up.

"I just can't sleep, why aren't you asleep right now?"

"I, um- I just woke up, I was sleeping."

"Oh shit man I didn't mean to wake you up."

"It's okay, why can't you sleep?"

Inosuke thinks for a little bit before answering, "I think I'm too uncomfortable, I don't know why this was completely comfortable before. I have no idea why it isn't now."

There was a small pause. "Do you want to sleep in my bed with me?"

The room was so quiet you could hear a pen drop. The question surprised both the people in the room. Tanjiro had no idea why he asked, and Inosuke didn't expect such a question.

"If you're alright with it." Inosuke got up and squeezed into the bed.

It was so awkward. So unbearably awkward.

Neither of the boys thought of what to do after Inosuke got in the bed.

"Um-" Tanjiro finally broke the silence, "Well goodnight I guess."

"Yeah good night"

I'm so sorry this chapter took so long and is so short I have had a really shitty past two weeks and had zero motivation or time to write anything. My brain wouldn't work at all. I'll try my best on the next chapter and try to make it longer.
