What's the point in Valentine's Day? MuiTan- TanMui

~Chapter 18~

(**Muichiro's POV**)

*After a couple minutes of silence- I was just staring blanking into deep space, in front of me. Not hearing the amount of questions from tanjiro, asking 'how did Kanao become the reasoning for my old man's death'..and that's where my blank thoughts came to take me.*

*I started to remember how it happened- and the fact how I still didn't turn her or her step farther to the police- oh wait that's right...I don't got evidence, SINCE INWAS SOMEWHERE AROUND 8, to 9...and clearly I still don't got the brains to even know what 7 x 7 is, without needing my fingers.*

*Anyways, I remember when Kanao's uncle got engaged with Kanao's biological mother, I overheard her at school, talking about how much stricter her uncle is, when he married her mom. Which she found weird and unfair, cuz he was never like this- until he became her father's replacement...and she saw me in the distance, giving me a sharp, eye, cold, Elsa, glare- making me gulp a little....giving me another word, just by a stare, that 'it was all my fault'*

*And I looked away in shame, before she started to gossip about it to her dozen of friends, that into want to be with her, because of her Barbie's 'since parents always say: we don't got money' ends up pulling out 1 million extra dollars out of no where, only finding out that was your birthday money you were saving up, so they can spend it all on the things they wished on their Christmas list. While they were looking at me with more hate then I can already feel, just by the piercing of a glare.*

*And while I was thinking of more that happened after Kanao's farther's sacrifice..Tanjiro started to shake my shoulders a little, snapping his fingers in front of me, like I got hypnotized..Before smacking me at the back of my neck, but not until he pulled my hair up- from the back..to make a loud echo sound from his rough hand, hitting my neck.* "OW-! What the hell—?!" *I yelled, before shushing myself up, when tanjiro spoke.*

"You looked like a hunted Greek statue..that went to a 'looking into the future' phase...sorry" *He said with a soft, concern, but also jokingly tone in his voice. I gasped at the nicknames he described me- about being a Greek statue, making he place the back of my hand on my forehead, and turning my head away in a drama, theater act.* "Oh, how dare you good lad! That is offensive to all those who find 'deep thoughts' better than whatever lectures we hear in school!"

*I said, in a slightly high, sounding like I was in the opera kind of tone. Tanjiro just started to laugh, and rolled on his back, landing on the grass- while holding his stomach-..'ehh?? That was funny???' I said in my head- thinking of the 'most casual'..and 'normal' things other people would say- would cause another person to laugh...well I'll be darn.*

*After Tanjiro finally calmed down, but I could already see he's failing on hiding his giggles and snickers, from his covering his mouth with his hand- and telling me to continue with 'my story' without just to let out another snicker from my comment earlier. And that kinda made me smile a little, scoffing playfully, and hitting him lightly on the shoulder.* "..Shush, laughing is another way of death- since it hurts if you laugh too hard."

*I shook my head- like a concerned parent that just wants the best for my child- even tho tanjiro is 2 years older than me..making me feel like- a young parent, but at least it's with a person I feel like I can handle without needing to feel the urge of throwing a child in outer space, giving it NO PACIFIER! Which is a doomed situation for kids who want something to suck on—..wait...NO-!*

*He then later than asked what I was so focused on, and I paused for a moment..trying to find the right way to tell how his princess Sofia, was a torture chamber, masked man in disguise. So I pondered..until I sighed..hoping I wouldn't cause him much more drama, then I first dragged him into, when he first met me..*
