23 - I like you too

The day ended peacefully and I woke up early the next morning. Crawling out of my bed I made my way over to the sliding doors, I opened the door and made my way towards the garden; which happened to be right outside my room.

Looking around I noticed the Wisteria trees that stood tall, their beautiful purple leaves swaying in the morning breeze. I took a deep breath and sat down under the tall tree.

The silence of the garden was interrupted by playful yells. I looked over to my right and saw the three boys messing around. Tanjirou was watching Inosuke and Zenitsu argue, I saw him smile.

My face heated up, his smile was beautiful; it made my whole world warm. Everything he did from his walk to his voice made me happy. Ignoring the thoughts I looked down at the grass and began to mess with the flowers that grew from it.

'What exactly is going on with me?' I thought and blew a dandelion. 'He means so much to me-'

Footsteps knocked me out of my thoughts as I looked up to see Tanjirou standing over me.

"Hello y/n!" He said and took a seat next to me.

"Good-morning!" I greeted back and continued picking the weeds from under me.

"When did you wake up?" He asked.

"Like 20 minutes ago, I've just been out here picking at the grass." I replied and he nodded leaning against the tree.

　A peaceful silence fell between us as we listened to the birds around us. I heard the boy scoot closer to me and then felt his warm hand on top of mine.

My face heated up but I didn't move my hand.

"Y/N, " Tanjirou began.

"I have something to tell you." He said and I looked up at him.

A smile appeared on his face and I nodded telling him to carry on.

"Remember when I asked if you heard what I said-" He paused. "Back at the demon house I mean."

I nodded again.

"Well, I want to tell you what I said."

I was confused but insisted he carried on.

"Y/n.."

I watched him take a deep breath.

"I Like you."

I saw the boy's smile turn lopsided as he kept eye contact with me. His hand was still on mine as I realized just exactly what he had said.

The whole world stopped.

—————

"Huh?!" I exclaimed and dropped the flower I was holding.

"M-Me?! You like me?!" I almost yelled but the boy shushed me.

"Yes! I do!" He replied.

My blush was now extremely noticeable as I pulled my hand out of his grip to hide my face. I felt like crying, 'this isn't real' I thought.

The boy frowned and looked away.

" It's okay if you don't like me back.." He mumbled and I shook my head aggressively.

"NO, NO, NO!" I yelled.

"NO, I MEAN-" I calmed down, "I do like you, I just didn't expect it!"

I saw the boys face light up as a wide smile appeared on his face.

"Y/N!" He cheered and hugged me.

I had no idea what was going on but I hugged him back. I felt complete, the hug was the most uplifting thing. I smile and leaned in further to him, but I guess it was too far because he ended up falling back.

I stumbled forward and landed on his chest. I pushed myself up and looked down at him, he just was starting at me. My first thought was to roll off and apologize, but I chose not to. Instead, I laid back down and wrapped my arms around him.

"I'm sorry, just for a minute." I said and I felt his nod.

His arms wrapped around me and I felt my blush reappear. The feeling of embarrassment slowly disappeared and my eyes felt heavy.

I blinked a couple of times but closed them and slowly drifted off to a sleep
