".."

"zenitsu.." tanjiro repeated his name in a much calmer tone, inching closer to his face.

"tanjiro are you doing this on purpose now..?" his voice was lower and more accusing than it usually was, and tanjiro felt his stomach flip.

"wh— doing.. what?"

"youre making me want to kiss you." he mumbled, lowering his head. chin still in hand, tanjiro gently lifted it back up, hand sliding from his hand to his back so they were now hugging each other.

"what a coincidence, me too!" he smiled and zenitsus eyes widened. "y-you.."

"zenitsu i think youre amazing. sure you can be annoying and clingy sometimes but thats what makes you unique! if you want to kiss me then i suppose i could arrange that." he giggled, and zenitsu stared silently for a few seconds.

he moved closer, and tanjiro smiled, moving his other hand so he was fully hugging zenitsu. he let the other close the space between them. it was a small kiss, a little longer than a peck, but zenitsu quickly pulled back, looking shocked.

"i cant believe... i just did that....." he mumbled, and tanjiro laughed. "aw zenitsu! its okay to be nervous you did fine!" he squeezed him lightly, and zenitsu hid his face in tanjiros shirt, sighing.

"yeah well.. im shocked you actually went through with it i didnt think.. yknow..." his voice was muffled, but tanjiro could still understand.

"i was into guys? yeah i dont really like talking about it- it just wasnt common where i grew up- though my family would have supported me i know they would have." tanjiro went silent, a sudden realization hitting. his family would never know. they never got to know. a sad look in his eyes told the now faced up zenitsu something must have upset him.

"hey.. tanjiro are you okay?" he asked, chin against his chest as he awkwardly looked up.

"..yeah.. im fine." he nodded slowly, and zenitsu squeezed him gently again, tanjiro resting his chin on the others head.

eventually, zenitsu spoke up. "you smell like sweat.." he pulled away and tanjiro shook his head with a smile. "yeah well i wasnt exactly planning to be snuggling with someone on the roof. i still need a shower its been a long day of training." he moved back and stretched, and zenitsu suddenly felt that overwhelming sense of guilt again.

"..nnn training...." he bit his thumb, and tanjiro sighed. "you can join us any day now you know. you and inoske."

"..yeah but... trainings just so boring.." zenitsu groaned, and slid to the edge of the roof.

"its not if you choose to make it interesting!! plus seeing your improvement is always worth the hard work!" inspirational and upbeat as always, tanjiro stood and jumped off the roof, steadying himself as he landed.

"im not good at hard work though.." zenitsu replied to tanjiro, who obviously couldnt hear him from the ground. it was more to himself anyway. he pushed himself off and down, grunting as he landed.

"alright! time to get a nice shower and then head to sleep im exhausted!!" tanjiro stretched again, the training from earlier finally taking a toll on him. "cmon." he swiftly took zenitsus hand in his and led him inside the mansion.

...

"hey tanjiro..? can i ask you something?" zenitsus voice was unusually calm as he opened his eyes in the darkened room.

after the two had gotten back from the roof, tanjiro took a shower and they climbed into their corresponding hospital beds, inoske already asleep in between them.

"whats up?" tanjiro responded in a hushed whisper, trying not to wake inoske. "you can whisper normally, ill still be able to hear you." realizing this, zenitsu found his strange talent coming in handy again as he listened carefully.

"..right. okay so whats up?" his voice now inaudible to anyone but zenitsu, tanjiro whispered, still feeling strange that zenitsu could actually hear him.

"i just um.. wanted to know..." he paused nervously, fidgeting with the sheets beneath him. "if were.. dating now?" his voice was louder than tanjiros so he could hear, but he was almost mumbling as he talked.

"hmm..." tanjiro thought to himself, rolling over over so he faced inoskes bed. "heres the thing though. even if we are.. dating.. we cant really do anything yknow? if we tried to go on dates or spend time with each other itd only get in the way of our work."

"..oh.... right." obviously disappointed, zenitsu sighed.

"well that being said- if you wouldnt mind keeping it on the downlow.. we could try it out??"

"wait- really???" zenitsus voice rose as he sat up quickly, leaping out of bed in the darkness.

"w-woah zenitsu!! what are you—" the concerned tanjiro was suddenly bombarded by zenitsu, who leapt onto his bed and hugged him tightly. "ah—" he felt a moment of anxiety before a happy feeling taking over.

he reached up and ran his fingers through zenitsus hair, scratching his head slightly. "t-tanjiro.." his cheeks flushed in the dark as he lifted his head from the others chest.

"its time to sleep now okay? im exhausted."

zenitsu frowned with a slow nod. "yeah okay.." tanjiro bent zenitsus head down, gently kissing his forehead before he finally got off.

"good night tanjiro." zenitsu mumbled, his stomach fluttering as he touched his forehead.

"night zenitsu! sleep well!"

he went back to his bed and laid down, and the two eventually fell asleep, minds racing about the experiences they had gone through that night, and what was soon to come.
