inosuke pov

inosuke was trying to skip class in peace in one of the old empty when suddenly ume called out to him "hashibara!" "oh god."he quietly muttered to himself" "i didn't expect to see you cutting class, you're always so serious about getting your work done." "uh okay?? why're you here?" "don't act dumb, you know why im here.." she said getting close to him "if i did i wouldn't have been fucking asking you."he said scooting away a bit "i've seen the way you look at me inosuke, im the only one you give that one specific look." "with disgust? well yeah you're the only airhead at this school that actually disgusts me. and trust me, i've met some pretty annoying people." "you're just playing hard to get aren't you?" she said with a smirk, at this point inosuke just ignored her and went back on his phone that's when she fully almost painfully smashed her lips against his and quickly held the back of his head to make it unable for him to pull away. he then grabber her by the neck and threw her aside. "You're fucking disgusting, whore." he said before walking away and looking for another spot to skip his class.
"eh? insouke? what're you doing here?" inosuke turned around to see tanjiro run up to him and swing his arm around his shoulder "aren't you supposed to be in class right now" "i could say the same for you, skipping? you haven't done that in a while. class was canceled so we're out right now" "fuck yeah, wanna get ramen?" "i thought you'd never ask!"

"that was honestly really nice, but it doesn't top aoi's" tanjiro said walking with his hands behind his head "damn fucking right." "oh yeah i meant to ask, is there anything going on between the two of you?" inosuke caughed and blushed at the thought of their makout session as soon as tanjiro said that "mind your own business" "im gonna take that as a yes" "whatever" inosuke said as they reached the door, he opened it and saw aoi standing there. he didn't know what to say to her since the last time they save eachother was when they made out. or so he thought. he decided to settle on a 'hi' expecting her to say some back. instead of that tho she just walked past him and said hi to tanjiro instead, he could've sworn she gave him a nasty look as well. 'did i do something wrong?' he thought to himself "what was that about?"tanjiro said looking at his  friend "i-.. i'm not so sure?" tanjiro sighed and signalled for inosuke to follow him to him room. he pushed inosuke onto his bed and flipped over a whiteboard that said 'How to make a girl you like like you too after you pissed her off' "STEP ONE, Identify the problem. is there anything you might've done to upset her?" "i mean.. it could be that i didn't tell her my feelings for her after we made out. or that i didn't ask her out.. or talk to her in general" tanjiro listened and wrote down 'lack of communication' "STEP TWO, So how do you fix it?" "i should apologise to her and do the things i said before?" "good. id recommend doing something she likes with her as well. something you both bond over" "we like watching shows together in her room, its both quiet and private. i also always get her some snacks while we do that" "okay.. and now STEP THREE.." "Yeah..?" "GET YOUR BUTT UP AND GO DO THAT."

inosuke was on his way to the grocery store when he saw tamaki enter it, 'its been a while since ive seen that creep, thats good i guess. hes finally fucking staying away from aoi' he thought to himself he went in a few minutes after him and made his way to the snack isles he took some pringles in a her favourite flavour and some dolphin gummies. he also took chocolate, oreos and ice cream since aoi always likes having that combo on bad/stressful days. he then wanted to make his way over to the freezers in the back for drinks but paused when he saw tamaki, he wanted to turn around but then something caught his attention he was kissing someone familiar, he couldn't properly see their face but he recognised the hairclips almost instantly, he froze. not knowing what to say or do. when they pulled apart he could finally see her face which confirmed everything. he dropped his basket and looked her dead in the eyes "a-aoi?"he said quietly, his voice breaking up a bit he felt his eyes getting wetter. it looked like she was crying but he really didn't care at that moment, she opened her mouth to speak but he turned around and left the store. he ran for what felt like ages and only stopped when he bumped into someone "nezuko?" "Oh! hey ino-.. inosuke? what happened?" at that point he was already crying, nobody's ever seen him cry before. she hugged him and brought him down to sit on the sidewalk he explained to her what happened leaving out the part of the bathroom. she was speechless, she thought that inosuke and aoi would for sure end up together " i know that talking and words of reassurance don't really help you so.. wanna get wasted?" inosuke raised his eyebrow at her "okay maybe not wasted since its a school night but like tipsy?" "yeah im down for that"

they bought 2 bottles already mixed cocktails with 12.5% alcohol in each and inosuke took a small bottle of absolut vodka for him to drink on the way. they both unexpectedly have high alcohol tolerances so this was just enough to get them tipsy but still be perfectly fresh in the morning. they finished paying and decided to go over to a small fry shop to get a bag full of fatty loaded fries to keep them sober and took them back to the dorms, luckily nobody heard the glass brazing against eachother in nezuko's backpack. when they entered the dorm they saw that it was rather empty, except for tanjiro and zenitsu who were sitting on the couch "ah inosuke! so how'd i-.. im guessing it didn't go so well?" "didn't even get to give her the shit. she was in the store kissing the guy she tried to warn us about" "what? no that's impossible she hates his guts" " i know what i saw" "is anyone gonna fill me in on what you guys are talking about?" inosuke just ignored him, he picked nezuko up, threw her over his schoulder and walked to her room. "you sure you wanna do this doll?" he said putting her down on her bed "hand me the fucking bottle inosuke ive had somewhat of a rough day as well." "you wanna talk about it?" "no not really" she said before taking the bottle inosuke handed to her and drinking straight from jt. she then passed the bottle over to inosuke who ended up chugging 2/3 of it. "thanks for.. being there for me" "woah ino, is the alcohol getting to my head or did you just apologise?" inosuke glared at her "im kidding! i'll always be there for you, you're like a brother to me" he layed his head in her lap and looked upset again " i really liked her.." "i could tell you did, honestly we all thought there was something going on between you two" "so did i."
