Why won't my legs move..

You were watching the person you care for getting crushed to death.

Why am I letting this happen all over again?

Inosuke was in the hands of the demon, getting his head crushed.

"Y...Y/n.." He struggled.

Move..

You couldn't do it

You couldn't do it.

The person you care about was crushed to death.

"Y/n! Y/n, wake up!"

You opened your eyes, screaming with tears falling down your cheeks. You were struggling to gasp for air.

"Y/n, you scared me!" You looked to your left, to see Tanjiro talking to you. "You were crying in your sleep for half an hour."

"Where is Inosuke?!" You whimpered wiping your tears.

"Oi..." You turned to your right, and there was Inosuke. Resting his head in his palms onto your bed. "Quit crying like a baby. It doesn't suit you-"

Before he could finish, you pulled him in a tight hug.

It was a dream.

He was tensed up, but you wouldn't let go. Suddenly, he gave in and rested his head in your chest.

"Y/n, I'm hurt too ya'knowww~" Zenitsu said, and Inosuke just shot him a deadly glare.

You pulled away, and looked at the surroundings. It smelt nice, and super neat. It looked somewhat like a hospital room. You looked outside the window. Butterflies.

Shinobu Kochos mansion.

"Thank God you're alive Y/n!" Tanjiro said, sitting onto your bed. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you! Please forgive me.."

"It's alright. I'm not too hurt anyways."

"Dumbass, you were sleeping for 2 days straight." Inosuke pouted. His voice was all deep and cracky.

"What happened to you?" You asked worried. "I'm sorry I didn't react in time.."

"His throat got crushed, and he screamed in the end to top it off. I don't have the details but thats what I've been told." Zenitsu said.

You looked at him worried, and he had an ashamed look on his face, so he just put his mask on and laid into his bed.

Soon after, the sun was setting, and Zenitsu and Tanjiro were full on snoring.

You couldn't tho, I mean you went in a coma for 2 days straight. You were hella bored.

You heard Inosuke sighing, so you walked over to his bed sitting beside him.

"Hey, you up?" He kept quiet, and then sat up. You smiled at him and put your hand against his. "I'm glad you're alive."

"I'm sorry." He started. "For being so weak."

"What?!" You frowned, tightening your grip on his hand. "You're one of the bravest and strongest people I know. And get some air out of that mask." 

He took it off putting it aside.

"I'm not stronger than you." He said.

You grinned. "I'm proud of myself if you say so, but it's not like that. I saved you twice. If it weren't for you, I would've died by a stupid corpse right at the start.

He put his other hand over yours.

"Thank you." He said, looking down at the bed flustered "For caring for me."

You blushed a bit, before cutting him off kissing his cheek.

"You're welcome." With that, you laid back into your bed, your back facing him and giggled to yourself.

He sat there stunned for a minute, carresing his cheek, and then laid back down, earning a huge smirk.

I'm never washing my face!
