“Eh?”
Zenitsu’s eyes grew wide in shock.
Why?
Because, for the first time since he’d ‘befriended’ them, Tanjiro was on his own.
For whatever annoying reason, Inosuke was always around him, looking scary and menacing with that annoyingly pretty face of his. It was pissing all of Tanjiro’s fans off, Zenitsu included.
So, he couldn’t help but wonder why Tanjiro was on his own now.
“Uhm… Tanjiro?”
Tanjiro turned from the group of girls already trying to get his attention.
“Oh, good morning, Zenitsu!”
“Morning… uhm, where’s Inosuke?” Zenitsu asked, tilting his head.
Tanjiro started to laugh. “Oh. There was… an incident, this morning, so he won’t be coming to class today.”
Zenitsu frowned slightly. “An incident? What happened?”
“Inosuke would kill me if I told you… try to ask him yourself, though he probably won’t tell you.”
Zenitsu just shrugged. He honestly didn’t care what happened to Inosuke. He was more focused on the fact that he now had Tanjiro all to himself.
“Oh, well. I guess it’s just the both of us for lunch today, then.”
Tanjiro smiled.
“Eh? Actually, we were about to ask Tanjiro to lunch,” one of the girls spoke up.
Zenitsu fell silent.
Tanjiro turned to look over at them, and their face went pale.
“Oh, were you?”
They quickly shook their heads.
Why?
Because the face Zenitsu was making behind him was terrifying.
“U-uh, no, nevermind… you guys can go ahead.”
And with that, they turned and bolted away.
And, so, Tanjiro and Zenitsu had lunch together on their own, and Zenitsu was practically on Cloud Nine the entire time.
They didn’t really do much talking, but just the fact that Inosuke wasn’t there to yell at him or anything was euphoric.
And then, the cafeteria door was kicked open.
In stormed Inosuke, blue in the face.
Literally blue.
His face was as blue as a Smurf’s.
The entire cafeteria was immensely confused, with the exception of Tanjiro, who immediately burst into laughter.
“I thought you weren’t coming,” he said with a grin. Inosuke just stormed over, grabbing Tanjiro by the arm.
“What the hell are you doing?! Having a tea party?!”
Zenitsu’s confusion turned to dismay as Inosuke yanked Tanjiro onto his feet.
“Let’s go,” he huffed. “We’ve been given our first assignment.”
