Spark| Inosuke x Zenitsu

Zenitsu gave one last glance at his phone before sighing. "I bet they ditched me." He murmured.

Zenitsu, Inosuke, Tanjiro and Nezuko were all supposed to meet at an ice cream truck before heading to the arcade but they're 10 minutes late.

"Monitsu. Where's Kentaro and Mihoko?" Inosuke asked, sitting besides Zenitsu with two ice cream cones each with 3 scoops. "I don't know. But why are you here first?" Zenitsu asked, lazily looking over at Inosuke with his chin rested on his palm and leg.

"I was bored." Inosuke answered, licking both ice cream cones. He then looked over at Zenitsu who didn't seem too happy. "Here." Inosuke said, offering an ice cream to Zenitsu. "You licked it." Zenitsu replied.

"So?" Inosuke said, his voice seemed a bit annoyed already. "Take it, you crybaby!" He threatened. Zenitsu growled and took the ice cream cone. He then looked at Inosuke and examined his attire for a moment.

Inosuke wore a unzipped blue jacket with nothing under it, khaki shorts and high tops. His hair was tied to the back in a ponytail. Zenitsu smiled a bit, at least there was someone there with him. "What are you staring at?" Inosuke grumbled, his angry scowl on his face. "Nothing." Zenitsu answered, he hesitantly licked the ice cream.

Zenitsu wore a long sleeved yellow sweater with jeans and fingerless gloves. His hair was sort of all over the place but for some reason it looked pretty...suitable for it his outfit.

"Where are we going after this?" Inosuke asked. "We're going to wait for Tanjiro." Zenitsu said. "Tch. Is it because you don't like me?" Inosuke asked.

Zenitsu's mouth opened slightly, he was at a loss for words. "Um...I-I don't...well....Tanjiro's always with us." Zenitsu said. "It would be wrong to leave him behind." He continued. Inosuke got up from the bench and grabbed Zenitsu's hand. "I'm going to sit here forever and wait for him." Inosuke said.

"H-Hey..." Zenitsu said quietly. He looked at Inosuke as he dragged him along. "Let's go....." Inosuke hummed as he scanned the surrounding area. The only options there were was a park, the mall with the arcade, and a grocery store.

"Let's go in the grocery store!" Inosuke said, shoving the rest of his ice cream cone into his mouth. "Why there?" Zenitsu asked as he was once again being pulled along. "I have my step-dad's credit card. We can buy..like whatever." Inosuke said.

"You stole your step-dad's credit card?" Zenitsu yelped. "I'll return it later." Inosuke grumbled. Zenitsu tossed his ice cream just before they entered the store.

Inosuke pulled out a cart and jumped inside the basket. "Push me!" He cheered. Zenitsu let out a small chuckle as his smile grew. He then began to push the shopping cart around the store and watched as Inosuke slammed things into the cart.

Doritos, Mountain Dew and few candy bars.

"What else should we get?" Inosuke asked, looking at Zenitsu. "Ummm..." Zenitsu placed a finger on his lips. "It has to be small though, how else are we gonna get into the movie theater?" Inosuke said.

"M-Movie Theater?" Zenitsu stammered. "Yeah!" Inosuke chirped. "Don't you wanna go see a movie?" He asked. "Well what abo--" "Stop talking about Gonpachirou! It's just us right now!" Inosuke said.

Zenitsu looked down for a moment. He then suddenly looked at Inosuke with a bright smile. "Let's get candy! Like Like...um....M&M's!" Zenitsu said. "Yes!" Inosuke smiled.

After buying all the items, the boys headed over to the mall where they'd find the movie theater.

"Inosuke! Zenitsu!" Tanjiro cheered as he ran up to the two as they entered the mall. "I've been calling you both this entire time!" Tanjiro said.

Inosuke shuffled his hands inside his pockets and found his phone. "Four missed calls." He read. "Oh yeah, same here." Zenitsu said before putting his phone away. "Are you ready to go to the arcade then?" Tanjiro said, holding hands with Nezuko.

"Actually..." Inosuke hummed. "Me and Inosuke are gonna head to the movie theater!" Zenitsu cheered. Tanjiro stayed silent for a moment, he looked at the two who were holding hands. "Oh! Okay..." He smiled. "Good luck then!" Tanjiro said.

"See you later, Tanjiro!" Zenitsu said, darting off with Inosuke. "Yeah! Smell ya later, Kentaro!" Inosuke said, waving as they ran to the movie theater.

"Okay, do you have the snacks?" Inosuke whispered. "Yes!" Zenitsu whispered back. "I'm gonna pay for our tickets."  Inosuke said.

After Inosuke grabbed the tickets, the two snuck passed security with ease. Inosuke then bought a box of popcorn and then headed into the showing room, his hand in Zenitsu's.

At this point, Zenitsu noticed how long Inosuke's been holding his hand. At first, he was dragging Zenitsu around but now...it was normal. Zenitsu seemed happy with it though. The two went to their seats and they continued to hold hands. Zenitsu handed Inosuke his snacks. "Wanna come to my house after this? My step-dad won't give me a lecture if someone else is there." Inosuke laughed.

"Yeah, I'll go with you." Zenitsu said. "Should I invite Monjiro?" Inosuke asked. "....Nah, we're cool together right?" Zenitsu asked, smiling at Inosuke. Inosuke felt a soft bit of heat cover his face, a tint of pink appeared on his cheeks. "Yeah..." Inosuke muttered, looking away from Zenitsu.

"Ooh! The movie's starting!" Zenitsu said. Inosuke furrowed his eyebrows, he was confused. In his chest, he felt as if he were floating. His face felt numb and he couldn't help but to think of Zenitsu.

Inosuke watched the movie but didn't pay too much attention, he kept looking at Zenitsu and the sparkle in eyes as he smiled and watched the screen. They continued to hold hands and Inosuke had never felt more happy.

But what could this mean?

There was no way Inosuke was in love with Zenitsu. Right?

After the movie, the boys exited the theater. They sat on the bench in the mall, Zenitsu decided to call his grandfather and tell him he'd be at a friend's house.

Inosuke held his hand on his pocket and stared at the floor while his other hand continued to be held in Zenitsu's.

Zenitsu hung up with his grandfather and looked over at Inosuke. "Hey, what's the matter?" He asked the ombre haired boy. "Uh....I...." Inosuke huffed and puffed but couldn't find the right words to say. "Why is it so damn hard to talk to you right now?!" Inosuke growled, he let go of Zenitsu's hand and ruffled his hair aggressively, his face turned bright pink.

Zenitsu was confused, he'd never seen Inosuke so flustered.

"People...were... kissing in the movie theater and the entire time, I held your hand and wished that...I could kiss you too..." Inosuke whispered. Zenitsu's face lit up, blush spread like wildfire. "So can I?!" Inosuke looked at Zenitsu, his face was deep red.

Zenitsu gulped, "I-I....I guess so..." He stuttered. Inosuke regained composure and held Zenitsu's hand. The two slowly leaned in and collided lips. Inosuke pulled away but Zenitsu pushed in and continued to kiss Inosuke. The two felt like magnets bound by a powerful force.

They felt a spark in their hearts.

The two were in love.
