High school Sweethearts Kimetsu Academy Zenitsu x reader

Chapter 29 Shared Feelings

We stare at each other for a couple more seconds before Zenitsu speaks up.

"WAIT! It's raining Y/n! You could catch a cold!" He screamed as he shivered a little.

I shrug, "It's fine, really." I said, "Did you know that being out in the rain doesn't get sick? What actually happens is that the rain lowers your body temperature, making your immune system weaker, making you more susceptible to sickness."

We both sit in silence for a second.

I sound like a nerd, don't I? That's embarrassing.

"Or whatever.......... I don't know......"

Zenitsu snaps out of it, "Y/n! I don't care! I'm not risking you getting sick!"

He grabs my arm and runs inside, shivering a little with me as a puddle forms on the floor of the school. I start straining out the water from my hair.

"I-I-It's freezing." Zenitsu said.

"D-d-don't worry...... I brought a t-t-t-towel........it's in the locker room."

I run into the locker room and change into my P.E. clothes since that was my only change of clothes and grab the towel for Zenitsu.

I come out of the locker room to see Zenitsu, standing there, shivering still.

I sneak up behind him and throw the towel over his head.

I hear his muffled surprise as I laugh and ruffle the towel up.

After a slight struggle, he escapes the towel.

"You scared me..." He chuckled, "Wait, don't you need this?"

I shake my head, "I had a change of clothes."

I start to dry off his hair as I smile at him. He stutters in his nervousness.

"I-I-I-I can do that myself you know."

I look over his shoulder and stop.

"Okay, you can do it yourself if you want."

I give him a little space and start to wander away. I then hear him mutter,

"Oh, uh, well........." He whispered in a slight mumble, "I never said I wanted to do it myself."

I giggle a little and look over my shoulder.

"Oh?"

"Nevermind!"

I see him start to dry his own hair off, trying to hide his blush with the towel before sighing and letting the towel rest around his neck.

I turn around and start drying him off again.

"You shouldn't feel ashamed to let me help you, you know?"

He lightly smiles right before starting to frown again.

"You know............. I'm really sorry for this morning. I should have never yelled at you.... I overthought and-"

"It's fine." I throw the towel over his face again, playfully. "I probably would have done the same in your place. I honestly can't imagine how you felt."

He shrugs, "I mean, it did hurt but......."

"Still....... I'm really sorry I said that."

"I mean....... I would have figured it out eventually." He said.

"Yeah.......... I guess you're right but........ I wasn't hiding it."

"I know."

I finish drying his hair and pull away the wet towel. His hair was all fluffy now.
