How hard can I fall? [kananezu] - venus_tf

———Kanao's POV———

I brought Nezuko up to my room and tried to cover up my rage. I hate Zenitsu. I fucking hate him. Why cant he leave Nezuko alone? My mind was racing in so many different directions, that I didn't even realized that we've arrived at my room.

I noticed that Nezuko was quiet. Quieter then usual. She wasn't usual this quiet, but given the circumstances, I understood. I let go of her hand, which I frowned at, and opened my door. We walked inside and sat in my bed. I glanced over at her and saw that she was looking at the flowers on my desk.

"Nezuko... are you ok?" I asked. I knew she wasn't, but I wasn't very good with people; especially her. The moonlight from the window shined on her tear-glossed pink eyes. My heart sank when I saw that her beautiful rose colored eyes had tears on them. I wrapped my arms around her waist and brought her close to my side. She leaned against my shoulder, without breaking eye contact with the flowers on my desk.

"No. I'm not ok, Kanao," Nezuko answered whole heartedly.

———Nezuko's POV———

I was doing all I could to not cry my eyes not in front of Kanao. I was using a technique Tanjiro had taught me when we were kids. Focus on one thing and only that thing. So that's exactly what I was did. I stared at Kanao's flowers as I rested my head on her shoulder. I could feel her eyes on me, but I didn't look back. I wasn't going to cry, I couldn't. Silence filled the room when I finally decided to answer back.

"No. I'm not ok, Kanao," I answered. I lifted my head off of her shoulder and wiped my wet eyes.

"Can we visit Tanjiro?" I asked, trying to get rid of the terrible feeling in my chest. Kanao smiled softly at me and nodded before standing up. This time she didn't grab my hand. It was dark out, but Kanao knew this mansion like the back of her hand. We walked into Tanjiro's room and saw Inosuke sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Hey guys. Are you ok, Nezuko?" Inosuke asked with a bit panic in his voice. I nodded and walked over to Tanjiro.

"He looks a lot better," Kanao comforted. There were no lights on in the room. Just me, Inosuke, Kanao, Tanjiro and the moon. With the moonlight reflecting on Tanjiro's face, I could tell that he was indeed getting better. Seeing him like this boosted my mood from the whole Zenitsu situation.

"How are you doing?" I asked. I never really bothered to ask how Inosuke was doing. I knew that he was injured, but he is also extremely close with Tanjiro. This must be affecting him as well.

"I'm ok. How's the dating for you two going?" Inosuke asked. HUH?!!!! WERE NOT DATING!! I mean... I... NO. I could feel my face turned deep shades of red.

"We're NOT dating!" I confirmed, hiding my reddened cheeks in my hands.

"Oh, your not? Aoi told me you guys were," Inosuke replied. I'll kill her. I know she knows I like Kanao. UGHH why do I have to be in love? It's so complicated!

———3rd person POV———

Kanao's face went blank when she heard that Aoi said they were dating. 'I'm going to kill her and Zenitsu,' she thought in rage. Of course, she wanted to date the little Kamado girl, but didn't believe that she was interested in her as well.

Kanao suddenly heard Nezuko yawn and offered to take her upstairs to her bedroom. Nezuko nodded and the two left Inosuke and an unconscious Tanjiro alone. As the two were walking up, a question popped up into Nezuko's head. 'How do I know if Kanao likes me back?' How could Nezuko get the butterfly girl to like her back?
