"I'll do it instead! I can hug you! I can even kiss you too! I'll do anything so long as you stay happy and leave Nezuko alone!" Tanjiro's cheeks began to burn a fiery red as his words began to settle in.
"Have me instead, Zenitsu!"
(Sorry, I'm not...

Zenitsu sat away from Tanjirou, watching as the sympathetic teen had sat himself down in the grassy field. A small smile was placed on his lips as the wind blew against his hair, making it sway as he carefully picked at some of the flowers around him.
Zenitsu couldn't help but stare. He didn't know how he'd never seen it before but, Tanjirou looked beautiful. With his sunkissed skin and bright personality, Tanjirou shined brighter than any sun.
'What?'
What was he thinking?! No! He shouldn't be thinking about Tanjirou like this! At least, not anymore. Zenitsu groans, a small glare directed towards Tanjirou as he silently cursed him.
'This is all his fault for saying such ridiculous things yesterday!' Yet, Zenitsu couldn't help but feel at least a little happy.
"I'll do it instead! I can hug you! I can even kiss you too! I'll do anything so long as you stay happy and leave Nezuko alone!"
"Have me instead, Zenitsu!"
But he couldn't. Zenitsu didn't want to taint him with his impurities, he couldn't possibly do such a thing!
"And it's not as if Tanjirou really wants to, he's just too good for this world to understand," mumbled Zenitsu. That's right. It's not as if Tanjirou likes him in that way, he could never.
No one could.
It wasn't as if Zenitsu had never thought of Tanjirou as more than a friend. He'd had thoughts like these since he first met him. How could he not? But, why would some as brave and as selfless as Tanjirou, want to be with someone as cowardly and selfish as Zenitsu?
Once Zenitsu had realized that, he'd decided to move on. Setting his eyes on Nezuko, seeing as it was his goal before meeting Tanjirou to get married to a girl and settle his life down, away from the demons.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't rid his thoughts of Tanjirou, both lewd and innocent. He couldn't fight against his feelings. No matter what he did, he just couldn't. He could distract himself with any girl he could see but his mind always wandered back to Tanjirou.
He couldn't deny it anymore. He couldn't hide away.
He loved Tanjirou.
From his gentle eyes and smile to his soothing voice and sound. He loved it all.
Zenitsu took a deep breath, his mouth going dry from his thoughts.
'Accepting wouldn't hurt. He did offer. A little kiss won't harm anyone, right?' Zenitsu stepped out of his hiding place, taking a couple of steps forward towards his angel. He only wanted one kiss. That was enough. It would be enough for him to control himself.
