A Kitsunes Love ll Tanjiro x Zenitsu

Leaving Before I Got A Chance To Say

When they got back to the temple, it was already dark and Nezuko was out of her box. Tanjirou was all healed up, and his crow had assigned him a mission. When Tanjirou told Zenitsu the news, he was devastated. Does this mean that he won't be able to see his Tanjiro ever again? This made Zenitsu sad, but Tanjiro promised that he will come and visit him. That made him cheer up a bit, but..

Knew that it will probably end soon. He thought little by little Tanjiro would get busier and busier and that he wouldn't be able to visit him anymore. Thinking about this made him sad. He wanted to be with Tanjiro forever. But he couldn't give him up just yet. Zenitsu pushes those thoughts away. He just had to stay positive like Tanjiro.

Zenitsu's POV
I know that Tanjiro will be leaving by morning. This made me sad. I thought that we could be together forever, but it looks like that was just a silly dream. I did get Nezuko some ice cream mochi. She seems to love them. I wanted to make something special for Tanjiro. A night to remember.

So he started to plan on what to make. He started to make dinner early as usual because he knew that he was making a lot. Tanjiro was playing with Nezuko. By the time Zenitsu finished making food, it could already be smelled throughout the whole temple.

Tanjiro came and saw so much food, and the smell was amazing. He was sure it tasted amazing. (Btw, Zenitsu thought of poisoning the food with a love potion again but he did not)

There were tempura, rice balls, ongiri, udon noodles, unagi, soba, ramen, sushi and so much more.

"WOw Zenjitsu! You made so much food! What's this all for!?"

"Well, you said that you were leaving in the morning so I thought of making you something special before you leave. You can take some with you in the morning too when you leave."

Zenitsu said that last sentence with a tint of sadness, because he is sad that Tanjiro was leaving. But he was ready for when that day comes, which is in a few hours.

"Ahh, ari gato Zenitsu! Thank you for everything!"

Tanjiro ran up and hugged Zenitsu.

"Ah- Your welcome Tanjiro... *whisper* I should be the one thanking you baka...

Well, let's eat before it gets cold."

All Zenjitsu could do was stare at the younger boy, taking in all of his features before he could not see them anymore. From his red hair, to his beautiful crimson kind eyes, to his scar on his head, to his hanafuda earrings that sway from his movements and the wind.

Tanjiro noticed that he was staring and got caught. It only left with a blushing Zenitsu and a giggle from Tanjiro. Zenitsu thought to himself for a while.

Zenitsu's POV

I never looked at Tanjiro enough, everything about him just amazes me. How can some like him exist? I-, want to be with him forever. I know he says he loves me but, I'm not sure if he means it. He's probably just saying that. I'm sure he'll meet the one, the one who can love him. But not me, I'm not the one for you Tanjiro... I won't get the chance to tell you how I feel. How I really feel about you cause I know that I'll be too late to tell you and there will be a girl who tells you before I get the chance. And you will say yes to her.

She'll be perfect, and I know that I'm not special, you'll find her Tanjiro. It won't be me, but I'll cheer you on. I know it will be a pain, but what do friends do right? It's always there but you said that you will always be there for me, but you're going tomorrow. I guess that was a lie.

It's fine, it will all end one day. And I will watch you from above, make sure everything will be alright. Even if you won't be there for me, I'll be there for you when times are tough for you and me. I'll always be there, cause I love you.

"Hey Zenitsu are you alright? You've been staring off and not eating your food for awhile now."

"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just... Thinking."

"Are you sure? I'll always be here if you want to talk."

Always be here... I'm not sure about that...

"Thank you Tanjiro."

I wish that you will be here forever. But nothing ever lasts forever. And leaving before I got a chance to say, that I really love you. I know that everything we did together was fake, you didn't really mean it, from that kiss to the "I love yous". It was all to play with my feelings and to get my hopes up.

But, really Tanjiro, Thank you for everything you did for me. I- I really do love you. And I hope that one day, you'll be mine. But I know that that day will never come, because you'll marry a beautiful girl. Go and find her Tanjiro, she's perfect, and I'm not special.
