✿⁠~'|Kanao's Pov|'~✿⁠


The entire party was almost nerve wrecking for me, I was never a fan of crowded places, family events I can hardly handle. But Zenitsu did say if I get to stress I could head upstairs, but I wanted to be with Genya the whole time. After all, he did say it was a date, even if we are standing here awkwardly and he is taking to Muichiro. That was until all of a sudden, "Hey Kanao, can we talk for a moment?"

When Tanjiro came out of the blue, I jumped a little, I didn't even hear his footsteps. At the same time, the room was crowded and loud, I could hardly hear myself.  Even before I could say anything, Muichiro took the lead for a moment "Hey Tanjiro!" I knew Muichiro had a small crush on Tanjiro, and that Tanjiro did like him back. It made a little upset, considering I used to like Tanjiro, but he liked him.

I'll respect their relationship though, besides, I was beginning to fall in love with someone else now, so I will be fine. "um sure... I'll be back Genya!" Tanjiro grabbed my hand and we went to a separate room together, nuts the two of us. I was deeply confused around that time, wondering what he wanted after all this time.

"Sorry from dragging you from your date, but um, for next quarters game, for some reason we are exactly changing positions and dance moves or something. But apparently the other girls did not wanna or haven't gonna through with you. These are the new parts and set ups for you guys.."

Of course they wouldn't tell me anything. I'm sure I would've found out anyways from reminders but still, were the trying to make me look stupid?

"Oh thanks. Those girls don't really like me all that much ."

"Really? How so?"

"I don't know, they always had it for me ever since I joined."

"I never even heard anything from Nezuko. And they do act completely different around teachers, staff, me, the other players, and everyone else. I'm sorry I didn't notice, oh! Is that why you and Genya -"

"Yeah...he walks me home everyday ever since he found out those girls were harassing me in the way back.."

"He does care about you! Talks about you sometimes on before the game!"

"Wait really?"

"Yeah! Oh here, your shaking a little, maybe bring a thicker jacket next time.."

"Yeah ..I thought about it but this was our date and I didn't know what to wear .."

"It's alright! Speaking of your date, that's all I wanted to talk about, I'll see you around!" I nodded as he left the room, allowing me to slip on his jacket and feel a little more warnbwss. Why was it cold down here? It didn't make sense at all ...

I walked out and saw for a moment that Genya was about to punch Zenitsu. The idea scared me and I ran over, he couldn't get into a fight now! "is everything alright...?" I asked, my voice hardly above a whisper, though Genya did turn and even smiled at me, making me blush a little,  "Yeah! Everything's fine!" I smiled back at him even though I knew he was secretly lying. Why was he trying to lunch Zenitsu? I mean we aren't close but I know Zenitsu is a little airhead.

Suddenly I heard Neuzko's voice in the distance, and when I was about to talk to Genya some more, I walked over as she signed me to come over. "That's a greenish black..... that's not....hers.." I could hardly hear him, but it was enough to make me turn back,  "You say something Genya-" suddenly , I felt him grba my wrist roughly, his nails almost digging into my skin and I winced a little at the pain. The sudden action scaring me as I began shaking a little. I tried to stop, trying to not look scared at the change if mood. What did he want?! Did I do something wrong?

."G-Genya?"

"Who gave you that...?"

Did he mean the jacket? I did hear him say something about it ..

"I was a little cold, this jacket is a little short and thin, so Tanjiro gave me his...."

"If you were cold....I could have given you mine instead..." I didn't even think to mention I was a little cold to him, I didn't know what he was supposed to do about it. Suddenly as his gaze deepened, he pulled away fast and I rubbed my wrist and little behind my back. Afraid I'll make him feel worse if he noticed he hurted me a little  "I'm sorry...I overreacted a little...."

Even if I knew he truly was sorry, he didn't have to try and hurt me in the first place, it scared me, but overreacting? A sudden thought rushed through my head and my face turned red, shivers running down my spine as I looked up and he slowly backed away.

"Overreacted.....does he....?? Like me...?" How have I not noticed, no he couldn't possibly...would that explain the whole date and everything?! Am I that stupid??

"It's alright...I sometimes do things whenever I'm upset so it's totally understandable..."

"Thanks I guess....wait are you hurt?" I felt my eyes wide as I continued to hide my wrist, the area he grabbed slowly turning red as I shook my head. "No...I mean it hurted a little but it wasn't enough to make me afraid and -" grabbing my arm, I felt him hold it up front and he grabbed my wrist again, more gently and under. "Zenitsu! Get some ice!"

"Yeah sure, is she alright?"

"Just get the ice!'

"Right!"

"It's fine... I'm okay!"

"Are you gonna keep lying to me? Or can you admit that I accidentally harmed you..."

"I guess I'm in a little pain ..?" When Zenitsu came back with the unce, he gently placed it over me and we both sat together. The last thing I remember is him rubbing my head a little, his words repeating the same sentence, "I'm sorry ...I didn't mean to hurt you..." My face red as I slowly leaned my head towards his shoulder, my hand still tight in the ice as his hand was over mine...

Maybe I do have a chance with him...
