(this story begins during the rehabilitation training arc. zenitsu and inoske have been skipping out on training while tanjiro works his hardest to master total concentration constant. one night, zenitsu finds himself bored, and decides to look for his friend.)

"awww mann im so boredddd.." zenitsu groaned from his hospital bed, kicking his legs back and forth in the air.

"stop whining." inoske responded from the bed beside him, his voice still raspy and deep.

though it was uncommon for him to be fussing at someone for 'whining', it was really the only thing he could do. he tired of hearing the others complaints and outbursts every so often, but as he was still recovering, he couldnt beat him up for it. not yet at least.

zenitsu rolled over onto his stomach, gripping the sheets of the unmade bed he had been living in for the past week and a half. "i miss tanjiro." he pouted, suddenly feeling lonely.

"then go find him." inoske rolled over, facing away from the boy.

"wh-wait isnt he training? thats too boring for me i dont feel like doing it." he hummed, staring off into space. "hmmm...."

after a moment of silence, which zenitsu secretly hoped tanjiro would end up barging in here and breaking, he shook his head and got to his feet, trudging to the door. inoske remained silent as he left the room, searching the halls for any sign of life. 'hes gotta be here somewhere.' zenitsu set off to find his friend.

...

"total... concentration... breathing....." tanjiro concentrated as he willed his breath to slow until it was as if his lungs were crying out in agony. he kept his head up and eyes closed, the roof tiles below him now warm with his body heat.

it felt like ages had passed since he last closed his eyes, and of course he was interrupted the moment he realized.

"tanjirooo!!!!!" he startled, opening his eyes to find the empty courtyard still and silent. the voice had been quiet, so he assumed itd been down below him.

"h-hello..?" tanjiro looked around, and a pair of hands gripped the narrow rooftop. "wh—" he jumped, peering over to see zenitsu, dangling from the edge. "zenitsu??"

"tanjiro!!!" he beamed, attempting to heave himself onto the roof. "AH—" he slipped, but with lightning reflexes tanjiro grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

"are you okay zenitsu?" he asked, concern in his deep red eyes. he was almost cradling the other, who blinked away from tanjiros gaze.

"yeah.. thanks. oh yeah- TANJIRO!!" he remembered exactly why he had come, throwing his arms around the now confused demon slayer.

"whats going on? are you okay?" tanjiro laughed, a sound that was like music to zenitsus ears. his arms slid down as he continued hugging him, smiling widely.

"i missed you and was bored and inoske was being boring and i just wanted to come say hi." tanjiros cheeks flushed as he realized how close his friend was. he got lost in his unusually excited grin as he patted his head with a chuckle.

"well i was just up here meditating so.. not very interesting either. hey wait a sec, how did you even know i was here?"

"i really didnt know, i just asked one of those helper girls if theyd seen you and they said you might be on the roof." he tilted his head up, gazing toward the stars. "it is very pretty up here." he mumbled, and tanjiros eyes softened as he nodded. "mhm. very peaceful."

flipping his body around so he was sitting in tanjiros legs, zenitsu crossed his own as he leaned back. "wh-zenitsu—" his face was now fully red as he slowly wrapped his arms around zenitsu, looking into his upturned face.

"tanjiro.. youre.." he mumbled, blinking slowly. "youre really pretty yknow?" he reached up and booped tanjiros nose, who again, turned a shade darker.
"pretty???" his grip on zenitsu tightened as he shook his head. "what are you even saying?"

"what... what am i......" zenitsu thought for a moment before crawling away quickly, growling at tanjiro."whats wrong with you why are you acting weird?!!"

"w-what?! me acting weird??" tanjiro looked shocked as he crossed his arms and criss crossed his legs.
"hm. whatever." zenitsu sat facing tanjiro now, copying him and closing his eyes.

"so.. you wanna meditate with me then?"

"yeah duh. shh." the two sat in silence for a little bit, but tanjiro couldnt concentrate on his breathing whatsoever, and his eyes kept opening involuntarily. he peeked, then fully opened his eyes.

zenitsu sat, a peaceful expression on his face as he attempted to keep his mind clear. his breathing was steady and tanjiro noticed the slight change in his expression when he took a breath out. he bit his lip, quietly scooting closer.

'im definitely going to break his concentration..' he thought as he did a 180, facing the same way as zenitsu. he then pushed himself off the roof with his hands, balancing until he scooted back into zenitsus lap.

"-w-wha—" as tanjiro thought, he opened his eyes which almost immediately widened. "t-tanjiro..?" zenitsus cheeks flushed now, and it was as if he hadnt JUST done the same thing to him.

"s-sorry! sorry i just couldnt concentrate and.." tanjiro pulled himself away, but zenitsu gripped onto his sleeve. "ugh well now im unconcentrated so." he tugged on his shirt and tanjiro smiled to himself as he got back into the others lap.

"tanjirooo.." zenitsu wrapped him in his arms, nestling his head in the crook of tanjiros neck.

"oh—" he blushed again, and felt an overwhelming feeling of warmth. "you know youre pretty cute too zenitsu." he turned his neck awkwardly as their noses touched.

"WH-" taken aback, zenitsu shook his head. "shut up dont say that!!"

"huh- did i say something wrong??"

"no but.. youre making me.... feel weird." tanjiro shifted in zenitsus arms, watching his embarrassed friend. he averted his gaze, cheeks flushed.

"feel weird..? like how?" zenitsu stayed silent, and tanjiro gently grabbed onto his shoulder, taking his friends chin in between his thumb and index finger. zenitsu looked back up, their eyes meeting.
"if theres something wrong i want you to tell me zenitsu."
