(Zenitsu's POV)

I watched with my arms still around Tanjiro for safety as the small girl grew into one our age. Is this his? He had a.. My grip tightened around Tanjiro as I felt a wave of jealousy rush over my mind. Right after I accepted my feelings for him..he..he..

Tanjiro stood up, wich meant I had to let go of him. So I stood up as well, with my eyes on the ground and my hands balled up. How could he? Am I just in some sort of game?!

Tanjiro walked over to the girl and turned around next to her before speaking up, "guys I want you to meet Nezuko, my-" He looked at me shocked, wich seemed to put his sentence to a pause.

I could feel Inosuke's eyes on me, they felt like grief and sadness. After all, he knew how I felt. He has known that I like Tanjiro. So of course he would feel bad, unlike Tanjiro, who is he to be playing with my mind?!

Is that why he wanted to leave the hot spring as soon as we got in?! Cause he wouldn't wanna cheat on his precious girlfriend? Something more important than his life my ass. I protected his girlfriend.

"Tanjiro." I felt his confused stare hit me again, how dence is he? I looked up at him, with my fists still clenched together. "While we were risking our lives out there, you've been smooching around with your girlfriend?!" I took a stance, while Tanjiro just put his hands in defense.

"Zenitsu what are you-" Before he could finish I spat, "shut up!" He flinched and kept quiet, while I slowly walked over to him. "Was all of this just a game to you?!" I felt my eyes start to burn, "sleeping with me, to almost kissing me! And you..you!" I paused as I felt tears run down my face.

My eyes widened when I realized I was crying, but that didn't get rid of my anger. I furrowed my brows once again, "I accepted my feelings..all for it to just go to waist.." I felt more tears run down my face and drip onto the floor.

Tanjiro walked forward and tried to say something because he was worried, "Zenitsu, listen-" but I'm not having any of it. I threw my hand at his cheek quickly, making his head jerk the other way. I had slapped him.

"I don't wanna hear it Tanjiro! Don't feed me your lies! I've already heard enough!" He turned his head back towards me, like he didn't understand what he did wrong.

I sunk down to the floor, on my knees and started sobbing. Tears hitting the floor faster than you could say tears. Inosuke ran over to me and hugged me from the side, at least I have him here.

I stood up and started to walk towards the exit of the room, I'm not going to sit and cry in front of him. I felt both of their eyes on me as I left the room completely.

I heard them say something, but I wasn't focusing so I couldn't tell what they were talking about. But non of that matters, I just wanted to keep walking. To get away from this stupid place. Mabye a demon would find me and eat me, yeah, that would end my suffering.

(Tanjiro's POV)

Zenitsu walked out. Why? I thought he wanted to see Nezuko. Why was he sobbing? I can't forget about how he slapped me either.
