throughout the next few weeks, zenitsu and tanjiro began coming out to those around them, including aoi and kanao, some of the hashira, and now...

"hey- hey nezuko.." tanjiros voice was soft as he peered into the wooden box nezuko had been in since they finished fighting only hours ago. he smiled and backed up as she crawled out of the box, slowly growing back to size.

zenitsu stood behind tanjiro, hands clasped together as the color drained from his face. his mind raced and he felt his nerves rise. telling the others about him and tanjiro was one thing, but telling nezuko was going to be different.

she waved cheerily to zenitsu, who smiled awkwardly back, tugging on tanjiros clothes once he stood as well.
"hey nezuko! howre you feeling?"

"mm-hmm!" nezuko made an almost mumbling sound as she nodded, the muzzle in her mouth making it impossible to tell what she said. nonetheless, her message was read clearly as she moved forward and hugged tanjiro, squeezing him tightly.

"woah!! nezuko—" he chuckled, patting her head with a smile. zenitsu stood back, biting on his nail.

"oh um.." tanjiro looked from zenitsu back to his sister and gently pushed her off, kneeling her down and looking her in the eye. "nezuko, me and zenitsu have something we really want to talk to you about if thats okay." his voice was warm and kind, causing zenitsus heart to skip a beat. he blushed slightly, looking away.

"mm." nezuko nodded, realizing this was going to be something serious. she sat on the ground, followed by tanjiro. "hey zen.."

"HUH— oh.. sorry." jumping, zenitsu realized he missed what happened and sat on the floor himself, scooting toward his boyfriend.

"nezuko, have you ever had a crush on someone?"

"hm..??" she cocked her head to the side and tanjiro repeated the question. nodding slowly, nezuko seemed confused.

"right. well you would have wanted to be with that person right, dating them and stuff?"

"mm." she nodded again, then grabbed tanjiros hand in hers, giving him a look that told him, 'im
ready for what you have to say.'

"okay. um.. well...." tanjiro felt himself trying to stall for time, looking over at zenitsu who watched from a close distance. he smiled and gave him a small nod.
"nezuko me.. and zenitsu are... dating." he finally spit it out, but was unable to look into his sisters eyes. he pulled from her hand, staring hard at the floor.

"i know it might seem strange since were both boys or since were part of the core and dating which may even be illegal or—" suddenly, tanjiro found himself wrapped in a pair of arms, looking up to find nezuko hugging him with a big smile.

"mmm..." she nuzzled into his shoulder, and tanjiro let out a breath he didnt know he was holding. hugging nezuko back he rubbed her shoulder, tears springing to his eyes.

"thank you for understanding." 

the two sat like that for a while as zenitsu watched before she finally moved back, turning to the other.
"im glad youre cool with this nezuko." zenitsu smiled, and she inched forward, throwing herself onto him and smothering him in a hug like she had her brother.
