Hopeless

Just wanted to write a rare pair for the heck of it

______

"What's a kiss?"

Zenitsu stopped his movements when Inosuke spoke.

"What's a kiss?" Zenitsu repeated. Confusion on his face at the sudden and odd question coming from Inosuke. What could've brought this up? Come to think of it Inosuke has been bothering him a lot lately, maybe its just because Tanjiro hasn't been around for a while.

Inosuke growled "Don't repeat what I said! Answer the question!" He yelled, pointing a finger at Zenitsu.

Zenitsu jumped at the sudden change in volume, almost dropping his drink.

"Not so loud Inosuke, my head hurts from earlier" Zenitsu grimaces as he rubbed his temple and covered one of his ears. They had dealt with a type of demon that had a blood art to create and manipulate loud sounds. It was a few hours ago and by the end of finishing off the demon, it left him sensitive to even the rustle of clothes. Not to mention he was sporting a massive headache and bruised wrist with other minor cuts.

Thankfully though his sensitivity was about half better than it was when they finished with their job.

Inosuke on the other hand had broken his ribs again after charging into the situation with no plan.

As usual.

The wild boar only huffed, crossing his arms over his bandaged chest with what Zenitsu can only guess is a pout under that mask of his. But Inosuke was considerate to Zenitsu's request, considering he knew how annoying his own sense of touch was as the moment.

Their fight didn't just affect Zenitsu.

Zenitsu drank the rest of his milk tea leaving the cup empty before speaking again.

"Anyway, a kiss is just, well, putting your lips against someone else's" he tried explaining gesturing to his own. Getting a little flustered at the thought of getting a kiss himself one day, falling into a daydream of that special day when he finally gets married with a beautiful-

"What's it like?"

Zenitsu daydream shattered into pieces.

Ugh.

Geez what's with this guy? Is he that clueless about everything? He really was raised on a mountain, he thinks.

Zenitsu huffs irked that his daydream was disturbed before he could even start it.

"It's ah, really nice i bet" Zenitsu explains with a small blush on his cheeks as he continued "And you might get a warm feeling in your chest and butterflies in your stomach"

"Eh?"

Inosuke tilts his head the mask hiding his expression, but Zenitsu could tell he was confused. He almost looked like a confused puppy. But well, a boar instead.

"Well i-"

"Show me"

Zenitsu froze, he blinked, eyes wide and a blush exploding on his face faster than a strike of lightning itself. He gaped, mouth opening and closing like a fish on land. His hands shook, the empty cup slipping from his grasp at the movement.

He could hear his heart beating rapidly against his ears and Zenitsu panicked at the thought of his heart pushing passed his ribs and out his chest.

Wha- what?

Did he really hear that right?

I-inosuke and h-h-him...

k-kissing?
