Can't help fall for you (On Break)

The unknown woman returns

          POV Tanjiro

It has been a couple of weeks since Tanjiro almost said that Tomioka is handsome to his friends and sister, he doesn't know if his sister nor really teasing him about it is a good thing or not. It has been very quiet, almost to quite but he really doesn't want to jinx it and to let someone else know about his secret crush( it isn't really that secret since almost everyone has a thing for the stoic gym teacher). He, Zenitsu and Inosuke just continue with there classes and someone (*cough* Zenitsu*cough*) looking at their art teacher to the point someone asks if he is okay, the flush on his face makes Tanjiro feel better for what happened a few weeks ago.

He and his sister finally got home only to realise that they haven't gone grocery shopping, so like any one they do rock, paper or scissors to decide who will got get the groceries. 'I guess fate really isn't on my side today' thought Tanjiro as he was walking to the store. When he gets into the store and has walked over to the frozen area, who does he meet it is none other than his teacher and the woman that was there when Shinobu was arguing with Tomioka. He hopes that he isn't spotted but luck really isn't on his side today because just as he is about to go to the next aisle he hears his name come out of that to kissable lips of Tomioka. "Tanjiro, is that you?" Tanjiro turns around faster than he would have liked but even when he feels sad that Tomioka is here with the really pretty woman he can't help the smile that pains his face. "Hello, Tomioka- Sensei!" He wants to ask what he is doing here but even if he does it is obvious why he is here but before Tanjiro can excuse himself the woman ask "Giyuu who is this cutie?". The woman's voice is so calming and relaxing that if Tanjiro was even somewhat tired he is sure that he would have fallen asleep. "Nee-san this is Tanjiro Kamado, Tanjiro this is Tsutako, my sister" Tanjiro's body reacts before his brain does as he greets the woman now known as Tsutako. "It is very nice to meet you!" The excitement must be heard in his voice as she laughs a little, " you are such a nice boy, Kamado" Tanjiro has always been weak with compliments so he can't really help the blush that dust his cheeks. They talk for a bit before they walk away to continue with their shopping. After a little while Tanjiro is on his way home and is going over his interaction with Tomioka, but then he stop in his tracks as he realises that Tomioka had called him by his name the entire time. When he walked into his apartment, he didn't greet his sister or anything he just gave her the groceries and walked straight into his room. If Nezuko heard him giggling she said nothing as he was cocking there dinner. It wasn't until they were done with eating and putting way the dishes that his sister's unrelenting teasing started. "Something good happened, would you be so kind and tell me?" As she said that her head tilted so that she looks innocent and Tanjiro falls for it, like he always does. He began talking about what happened and before he knows it Nezuko has prof that he really does like there gym teacher. Tanjiro only realised how he messed up after he had made a 10 minute talk with the Tomioka's into a 30 minute gushing session. He looks at his sister and the grin she has was all it took to really know that today wasn't his day.
———-
Tanjiro doesn't know if he is lucky or unlucky but his sister hasn't brought up what happened last night and he really doesn't know if he should be grateful or not, but he knows not to say anything since if he does it will be the end of his dignity.

POV Tomioka:
'It is currently lunchtime and I am trying to eat in peace but Shinobu wouldn't let me be and Tengen is talking to Kyojuro about some student of his that is (in his words) so annoyingly cute. Tengen is wondering why he always looks at nothing when he thinks no one notices, Tengen wants to know how to get him to pay attention and Kyojuro is just laughing and trying to give advice but it goes in one ear and out the other'. "It is rude to ignore someone" says the younger Kocho sibling but Tomioka just looks at her and then back to his food. She doesn't get the hint so he puts his chopsticks down and looks at her and says "I am trying to eat so of course I can't answer you, can you please wait until I am done" he doesn't wait for her response before saying "thank you" and being eating again, he ignores the snickers from Sanemi and then his the noise he lets out in surprise when both Kocho siblings stand in front of him. 'I wonder how Tanjiro is doing' the thought makes it self know and he has long since stopped trying to get it to stop since he knows it's pointless. He finish the last of his food and then takes his phone out of his pocket to ask his sister if she needs him to pick up his nephew Giichi, she answers quickly and tells him that he doesn't have to since her husband is doing it. He is relieved that he doesn't have to go early but that doesn't mean he dislikes his nephew. He was about to leave and maybe see Tanjiro if he is lucky but it seems today is not his day, "Tomioka~ where are you going~?" This time it is the older Kocho that stops him " I am going for a walk and getting stuff ready for my next class" he doesn't stand there long enough to hear her reply. 'The weather is so nice, I bet he thinks the same'  the thought in his head used to scare him but now it is just the norm to think about the wonderful boy named Tanjiro and his beautiful sunny smile. Before he can fully get lost in the beauty known as Tanjiro as female student stops him. "Is there something I can help you with?" Comes out before he can even think twice, it seems to have been too forward since the woman in front of him is now shaking. This time he reminds himself to be softer and show that he is worried since she is shaking and doesn't look him in the eyes, "is there something wrong?" That seems to have been the right thing to say as she seems to have calmed down and isn't shaking as much. "I want to give you something!" 'It seems she is nervous, well I can't blame her. I too would be nervous if I was asking or giving my teacher something'  Tomioka nods letting her know that it is okay and that he will not judge her. She then hands him a pink envelope and runs of. To say he is confused would be an understatement, he looks at the envelope to see if he is supposed to give it to someone else but to his surprise it is in fact for him. So like anyone would do he opens the letter and reads it. He walks fast to the teacher lounge and it is empty, without realising he lets out a sigh of relief. He then gets a piece of paper and a pen, then begins writing. He then finds the locker that was mentioned in the letter without realising that the girl is right behind him so before he can put the letter in it's place, the girl gets his attention by calling him. Tomioka turns around in surprise that a student called him Giyuu and not Tomioka. "You read my letter" he nods "so you like me too!" At this he lets his surprise be know as he says "I was told that it is proper to give a response when you get something like this and that is the only reason I am here" the girl seems to not really hear him and she takes the letter and opens it despite Tomioka telling her to wait until she is alone. "Why should I wait when I already know the answer" he tries to get her to stop with out talking it out of her hands since she can then get him in trouble for assaulting a student. It is just as he thought the heartbroken look on her face is exactly what he didn't want to see, he doesn't know if it is luck or not but (what he assumes) her friends come running to her and he decides that he will leave them alone and walks to the gymnasium to get ready for his class.
