"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...

"W-we can take care of them later! Aoi's calling us for lunch, " Tanjirou moved to get up. His eyebrows furrowed and his lips went into a pout as he stumbled over his legs and struggled to move.
"Tanji-"
"I-I got it! Kinda," he'd mumbled to himself.
'He's hopeless,' Zenitsu sighs to himself before standing up and grabbing onto Tanjirou's wrist, pulling him up to have the younger face him.
"I'll go get the trays. You just go to my room, and wait for me there, okay?"
"But what about Inosuke? Wouldn't he get suspicious? I don't think he'd want to eat alone either," his eyes showed concern at the thought of their boar friend eating alone.
"Tanjirou, c'mon, it's Inosuke we're talking about here, if anything, he'd be the one to ditch us," Zenitsu had reached his hands up towards Tanjirou's shirt, shaking his head lightly as he began to button up the open shirt, "You weren't even gonna button your shirt,"
"Hey!"
"Just wait for me in my room. I'm used to doing stuff like this and you can't lie to save your life, so it's better like this," Zenitsu mumbles in his ear as they entered the estate, pushing him in the direction of his room before turning around and heading for the kitchen.
"Hey Aoi, Tanjirou and I are gonna have lunch in my room, if that's alright with you," he'd peeked his head into the kitchen, seeing the two trays filled with food.
"That's fine. I'd finally have a quiet lunch, for once,"
"Inosukes not here?" He'd questioned and Aoi shakes her head.
"He didn't specify what, but he said he had something important that he had to do. I think he's just going to smash his head against a bunch of trees and scream at the top of his lungs,"
"That sounds like him. Well, thank you for the food!"
"You're welcome!" She called out as he left the room with the two trays in hand. His heart continued to pound in his chest as he got closer to his room with one thought in his mind.
'I kissed Tanjirou,' and the younger didn't even hate it, he liked it! So that meant that he was doing something right at least.
"Tanjirou, it's me Zenitsu! Can you open the door? My hands are kinda full," he hears the small pitter-patter of feet hitting the floor before the door slides open.

'This is awkward,' Zenitsu looks over to Tanjirou. They hadn't said a word about what had happened outside and only ate in silence. The air around them was tense, with the occasional quiet moan coming from Tanjirou as he squirmed around in his seat.
