zenitsu x reader (on hold)

Chapter 27

You felt the car you were currently in stumbled, "Wha- ". Getting knocked off your feet, you fell backwards and onto Zenitsu.

A burst of red flooded to your face, as you quickly scrambled off him. You kneeled next to him as he laid on the floor, holding the place where your heart was. Jesus, it's beating so fast..

You looked embarrassingly at Zenitsu, only the two of you remained in the car. Hamako and Nezuko were fast with evacuating the unconscious people.

You got up and looked down at Zenitsu, still feeling a little flustered. "Luckily.. he was asleep..."

You got him up and gripped his hand again, looking at your hands interlocked together. You turned your head back in front of you and ran towards the back cars. "Hamako!" You called, looking around. You immediately let go of his hand, which let him roam around trying to get rid of those hand things.

When you found her, she was stabbing one of the things with her blade, trying to get it to let go of your arm. Of course, you ran to her.

You took out your blade and sliced the one blocking your way, heading over to Hamako. Immediately, you sliced the one hanging onto her arm too, which suddenly came loose and evaporated away.

"Hamako, are you alright?" You asked, kneeling down next to her. Her face was sickly pale, with sweat drops on her skin. She looked up and smiled fully at you.

"I'm fine, just.. a little worn out." Hamako excused, trying to stand up but she ended up collapsing. You caught her and put her on one of the seats, "Stay here for a little while, you need to rest."

Looking around, you didn't notice Nezuko. "Where's-"

"Nezuko..? Oh, she's in.. the other car protecting the passengers.. she.. might need help."

Hamako sighed, letting herself fall into unconsciousness. You stared worriedly, before realizing that Zenitsu had disappeared.

He must've gotten into the other car to help Nezuko.. I hope they're alright..

You sat next to Hamako, letting her head rest on your shoulder. You laid your nichirin blade in your lap, keeping your guard up just in case. All of those things had been sliced off in the train by now, so you had nothing to worry about yet.

Suddenly, Nezuko popped out from behind the seat and you jumped, surprised. "Ne-nezuko!" You smiled when seeing her safe, and pet her head affentionately.

She hummed and held your hand to her face again, nuzzling it. Her hands were very soft, and warm. It gave you a slight nausea.

Suddenly the train car shook, and you fell out of your seat. You, instinctively, grabbed on to something that might hold you, anything. You felt something like a hand, and managed to land on your feet. As you looked at what you might've grabbed, you noticed it was Zenitsu whos hand you grabbed.

Feeling your face heat up again, you let go of his hand and buried your face in your hands. Why am I like this...

Hamako was, fortunately, asleep so she didn't have a right to tease you all day and night. You decided to carry her instead of wake her up, she looked at peace.

After managing to evacuate all the passengers from the train and rest them assuredly on soft ground, you felt worry for Inosuke and Tanjiro. You haven't spotted them yet, but hopefully they were doing fine.

Suddenly you heard a booming voice behind you, "R-rengoku-san?" You looked behind you and stared at him. He hadn't a stratch on his body, nothing.

"I see you've managed to evacuate all the passengers. Sadly, some of them are injured, but none are dead." He walked over and pat your head, then smiled.

"Good job."

You were flustered from the praise and nodded acknowledgingly.

He looked around then ran off, "I must go find Tanjiro now!"

You noticed that all three of them, Hamako, Nezuko and Zenitsu, were asleep. You laid Hamako down next to Nezuko, who immediately cuddled next to Hamako. You smiled and rubbed her head affectionately.

-

Without notice you had fallen asleep. You were shooken awake by Zenitsu, who carried the box from Tanjiro on his back. The one Nezuko hid in. "..Zenitsu."

He seemed relieved to find you awake, and smiled excitedly, "L-lets go. Uh, Hamako isn't waking up so you... you might have to carry her."

You nodded and stood, slowing placing Hamako on your back. You and Zenitsu walked towards where Rengoku headed. Only looking at the ground, you hadn't noticed how injured Tanjiro, Rengoku and Inosuke was until you looked up.

Rengoku, unmoving sat in front of Tanjiro, who had faced the ground crying. The answer was obvious, but you couldn't bring yourself to believe it. Just like everyone else, you felt tears falling down your face and you felt like collapsing, but you didn't want to disturb Hamako.

You couldn't recall what happened after that.
