Music to My Ears (Demon Slayer KNY Zenitsu x y/n)

Chapter 34 Getting Ready for a Mission

Turns out, what Tanjiro was doing the other day was telling Rengoku's family his last words. Whatever his family said to Tanjiro, really helped him because he started acting more motivated after that until he was back to his normal self. I'm glad he's okay. Honestly, when Tanjiro looked discouraged like that, it scared me a little because he's been through so much, I was surprised that anything even phases him. He always just pushes through with a smile.

We got back to training after our wounds healed. Honestly, no one really got hurt this time. Inosuke didn't get a scratch, Zenitsu got his head wounded by Inosuke and there was my injury. The worst one was Tanjiro who got stabbed in the stomach.

This time, Uzui let me train with Zenitsu, Inosuke and Tanjiro. The training they had to do was honestly a lot easier. Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho would sit on the boy's backs when they did push ups and Aoi would sit on mine. Aoi was a lot bigger than the rest of them though. She was my age, she was pretty short. Kyio Sumi and Naho were about 10 years old I would think but they look 5.

Zenitsu would always complain how my training style was so much harder and that it wasn't fair for me. I had to explain to him that I really didn't mind and that it's fine. He never listens. Since I do my training with them now, I don't do it at night so everyone sees my training outfit which is kind of revealing, though they're all shirtless. It's basically just a sports bra but still. I'm not totally comfortable with it. I can tell that Zenitsu knows that and makes an effort not to look at me but it never works. He's too distracted. I can tell that every time he sees me he wants to comment on it but he refrains because he knows that I will immediately stop wearing it, no matter how respectful the comment is.

When we're doing our run, Tanjiro always asks me to run in front of Zenitsu, even though we run in speed order and I'm the fastest, since when I run in front of him it motivates him more. I really have no idea what to think of that but I'm gonna take it nicely. We would continue to do small missions throughout the training. They were super easy but Zenitsu would despise me when I would go on them and begged me to stay with him for hours. I would be late for every mission because I would be drying his tears as he would try to pull me back inside.

Every time he would go on a mission, he usually wouldn't complain. He would just ask if I was going to miss him or worry about him and then he would cry. He would then ask for a lock of my hair, which was kind of weird. At one point I just braided a small piece of my hair for him and made a bracelet out of it for him so he'd stop asking. He really did like my hair. He would brush it in the morning. He always worried about me. Every time I would get a bruise or anything he would interrogate me about it.

He didn't sleep in my bed every night, since we didn't want Uzui to catch us. We knew it would really piss him off but Zenitsu did make me promise that if I had a single nightmare, I would have to either go sleep in Tanjiro, Inosuke and his room or he would go over to my room so I would sleep with him often. It came to the point where he wouldn't question me anymore. He would just hold me in his arms and sleep. In the morning he would ask about it though.
