Trust yourself ! - Inotan/Tanino

Chap 7

POV Tanjiro :

After we went to the police station, Himena was expelled from college and sent to juvenile prison. She tried to deny what happened, but with my video, they had enough to take her. And against a video, you can't really say that it's not true.

When we were in the police car, Inosuke fell quickly asleep on my shoulder. He was so cute. And it was hard to wake him up. It was like he could finally, totally, let go and passed out.. He actually slept whenever he could. They called our moms and they come to get us. They wanted to "talk" to Himena, and her parents. I won't tell you what they said because... it's between them.

Of course they talked about it in the news, bur they didn't mention our names because we didn't want to. But mostly because Inosuke didn't want everyone to know that he's arachnophobic ; because he doesn't want them to have pity for him and start acting like he's child. Even if I keep telling him our friends won't act like that, he still doesn't want to tell them. I respect his choice, and I won't tell them behind his back.

We went back to school and we continue living our lives. Now that the problem won't come back, Inosuke can live peacefully again. Actually we can all live peacefully again, she was making problems everywhere, but I know she isn't that bad. Maybe she was just searching for attention. We don't know her relations with her family, maybe she didn't have the attention she wanted to have ?.. I could have helped her.. but I didn't like the way she was treating everyone. And I just couldn't ask her anything because she wouldn't let me.

Inosuke - What are you thinking about Kentaro ?

I snap back to reality and look at him in the eyes. We're in the parc we were for our first kiss, same bench. I talked a lot..

- I was just thinking about what hapenned agian..

Inosuke - Pfff why ?

- Because.. I think I could have helped her..

Inosuke - Are you serious right now ?! After all the shit she did, you still think you could have help her ?!

- Yes, I think everyone needs a chance. Nobody is born bad, people make them that way. I'm sure we could have helped her act different with people, if we had the chance to talk seriously with her.

Inosuke - I don't understant how you can be so good with people.. even if they hurt the ones you love..

- I'm like this..

We keep looking at each other, passionately. I'm glad that this is finally over. I hug him and kiss his neck.

Inosuke - Anyway, let's not think about this again. Now, I require more affection !!

- Ok !

I put my arm around his shoulder, kiss his cheek and play with his hair. I love how he act like nothing hapenned. I just love him. I love him so much.. I can't describe how much I love him.

- I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Do you allow me to ?

Inosuke - Of course !! I will bright your whole life with my presence ! Now, close your eyes !

- O-oh ? Ok !

I close them and wait. A gift ? I'm exited !! I feel he ties something around my neck.

Inosuke - Open them !

I do so, and look at the necklace. It is a chain with a boar's head pendant.

Inosuke - It's a gift, to reward your services !... another way of saying.. thank's for being here for me, Tanjiro.
