zenitsu x reader (on hold)

Chapter 23

♡
This chapter you are reading currently is the chapter where the anime had left off. If you do not want mild spoilers, I suggest you stop reading this book after this chapter.

Thank you to those who don't want to get spoiled by the manga. You have read the past chapters, and maybe this one too, helping this book grow. I am very grateful for those whom had also read, and still want to read more.
♡

Bet I sounded cringy and boring :') thank you again for reading this book it means a whole lot to me.

Hamako sat next to you, on your left, sleeping soundlessly. You let her lay her head on your shoulder, because you didn't want her to be bending her neck at an 180 degree angle.

You sat silently, and just as you had said, there wasn't a lot of people in it yet. "Hm..." Your stomach growled. Figuring you were hungry, you decided to take out the box of Onigiri Yuki had packed and took one out, biting it.

Maybe I can give this to the others later.., You thought, staring out the window and peering into the starry night.

You heard Hamako stirring next to you. You looked to the left when you felt the weight of her head ease, "Not tired anymore?"

You asked, she nodded, "Thanks for letting me borrow your shoulder..." She looked at you tirelessly, befitting smiling a little, "Nee-san."

You felt suprisingly relieved and happy she called you that. It has been a few weeks since she had asked the question, "May I call you Nee-san?". She was probably building up the courage to call you that, since you two were never blood related, but probably close enough to be considered sisters.

You smiled and rubbed her head, before feeling suprised with the sudden movement of the train. "Oh-? It's leaving already?!" Hamako stood up and slid up the window. She looked out of it, glancing back at the three boys still at the station.

"Tanjiro! Zenitsu! Inosuke!" Hamako yelled, waving, "Come on!"

They noticed her and ran after it, you decided to open a similar window right next to hers, staring out too. They managed to catch up with it, and get on. Hamako grabbed your hand and ran to the back of the train, where Inosuke, Zenitsu and Tanjiro were.

"Come on! Let's go meet them!"

[SPOILERS FOR THE UPCOMING KNY MOVIE BEYOND THIS LINE]

Zenitsu and you sat next to each other, while Inosuke and Hamako, quarreling, sat behind you guys. Tanjiro sat at another seat on the left of Inosuke and Hamako.

Zenitsu seemed fidgety, so you handed him an Onigiri, one of the ones Yuki packed for you and Hamako. "I bet you're hungry, have one." You smiled kindly, placing it in his hand.

He, without a doubt, ate it silently. Zenitsu glanced at you, "Is your.. guardian(?) okay with you being a demon slayer? It's pretty dangerous.."

You smiled excitedly, happy he wanted to talk, "She's the reason why I joined the Demon Slayer Corps in the first place. Just the memory of her deceased husband, training for a while, then coming here and meeting you three again. I don't regret agreeing to do this."

He nodded, and stared out the window, at the fast passing scenery. "Are you really.. happy with meeting us?"

You looked at him confusedly, "Of course I am. Hamako too. All of you have been so kind, and fun to be with. I can't thank you enough."

He seemed paralyzed, and not moving. He then looked to you and, only then, did you realize how close you were to him and your faces were only centimeters away.

You backed away embarrassingly, "S-sorry.."

"Yummy!"

All of the five of you looked out, down the train ahead of you. Going to investigate, the five of you followed down the same pathway.

"Yummy!"

The voice began to become louder as you headed closer, and then Tanjiro said "R-rengoku-san?!"

I just realized how short this is- shit.

My mother's been bugging me to be more active and play outside, so that's what I am doing :')
