ℍ𝕖𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕣 - Sanemi x Reader

Already?

I want to start off by saying,

Two days ago marked the one year anniversary of this book.

When I started this in the car during a bad pain episode that happened while my family was out, I didn't expect my attempt at self distraction to go anywhere.

But here we are. I'm still doing this for some reason. The pain episodes have gotten extremely rare now, but I'm still doing this.

Gang we hit 70k+ in this year long period. Think of how big that number is. Thats a big number. I love you all from the bottom of my hearts, I hope yalls Sanemi fazes don't end so you can keep enjoying this❤️❤️❤️

"Y/n?"

Why did she even care? Why bring it up?

"I... guess I'm ok." What did she want me to say to that? Sure, Mikey may have almost died in front of me, but that happens to everyone all the time.

"It's hard for most people to stay positive in these situations. Tanjiro, he's something ive never seen here before." Shinobus voice was gentle, her eyes soft, but it wasn't like I noticed.

I didn't say anything. I didn't have to, really. She didn't say anything else either. It was just silence for a while, before I stood up and left with a quiet good bye.

Why did people bring that stuff up? When it's over, it's over. No reason to bring it back up. No reason to care if everything's resolved.

When I got to my room that night, Shinobus words kept replying in my mind. But why? I didn't understand. Mikey was safe and sound, so why bother worrying about the fact he almost went bye bye?

Sleep didn't come easy either. I stared at the ceiling for a long time. So many thoughts were swirling through my mind, the good and the bad.

My time spent with Sanemi, Tengen ruining my day, Shinobus conversation about Mikey, it all kept replying. All bringing a continuous cycle of emotions that lasted hours.

When I had awoken the next morning, it was still dark. I highly doubted I had gained much sleep, but not like it mattered.

Sleep was optional anyways.

I decided that I wasn't going to have any thoughts about negative things today, but the huge pit in my chest was really making it hard.

I changed into my usual uniform, then wandered down the halls with no exact destination. 

I passed the trios room, the stupid boars snoring was extremely well heard. I don't understand what Aoi saw in that man. No, he's not even a man. That literal animal.

But hey, I'm not judging.

My legs took me to the kitchen, where I heard someone, most likely the blue butterfly, preparing food for the morning. I didn't know she got up this early in the day.

I slid the door open quietly, going unnoticed by Aoi as she multitasked in the kitchen, platers of food already lined up despite it being so early.

"Good morning, are these up for grabs yet?" Aoi glanced my way for a second before shaking her head, going right back to what she was doing.

I was going to keep my hands to myself, like she said, but that doesnt mean I cannot observe the food sprawled out infront of me.

"I see how you're eyeing that stuff, back away from the counter right now." I scoffed and put a hand over my chest, shaking my head with a hurt look.

"You really thought i'd go against your word with you right infront of me??"

"Yes."

"Okay you weren't supposed to actually answer that."
