Will You Perform With Me?

Chapter 7

.•Date?!•.

The following day I made sure not to be late like last time. I was greeted by an overly joyous Tanjirou as I entered the school's entrance.
     "Good morning (Y/N)!!" He smiled and gave me a hug which caught me by surprised.
     "G-Good morning Tanjirou" I managed to startle out as I hugged him back. I've never had physical contact with any boys but ever since I came to Japan I've had various contacts. I really wasn't used to it yet.
     Tanjirou started telling me all about his little sister's performance yesterday, as we walked to the table where the others were. Seems like she did an amazing performance and Tanjirou was very proud of his sister.
     "You love your sister dearly that's so cute.." I said when we reached the table to sit down.
     Tanjirou blushed for a second but managed to hide it from the others. "Of course! I love every one of my siblings dearly."
     'It must be nice having siblings' I told myself.
     I looked around for Giyuu but notice he wasn't here. "Hey.. where's Giyuu?" I asked but then felt someone's hand on my shoulders. Since I was sitting down I just tilted my head upwards and Made eye contact with Giyuu. Everyone had stopped talking and were now staring at us even Tanjirou.
     "Good morning (Y/N)..." Giyuu said monotonously but there was a hint of happiness in his tone.
     I couldn't help but smile back, "Good morning Giyuu-San!" Right as I said that Giyuu blushed and even shocked me.
     "Please call me Giyuu." He said and left to sit by himself.
     "(Y/N) SINCE WHEN DID YOU GET CLOSE WITH GIYUU?!" Mitsuri exclaimed, but I could tell everyone wanted to know as well.
     "Well.. we got to know each other a bit yesterday. He saved me from being beat up by Kanao and her two friends." I said rather calmly.
     Everyone had shocked looks on their faces. I got a bit scared with all of their stares at me
"Uhhh guys...?" I started saying.
"(Y/N) I'm so sorry I feel so bad now.." Tanjirou said and looked at me with an upset look on his face.
Why was he upset for? "I-It's okay Tanjirou Giyuu sabes me and took me home." I smiled trying to reassure him, but Tanjirou grimaced when I mentioned Giyuu.
"Is that why your knee has a bandage?!" Zenitsu said worriedly. This made Tanjirou even more worried and got up from his chair.
"This is my fault (Y/N)... I'm sorry. I knew Kanao wouldn't let you go easily," he suddenly grabbed both of my hands in his and I couldn't help but blush as I stood up. "I promise to protect you as much as I can from now on since this is my fault."
Giyuu got up from my seat and walked up from behind me. "That may be true Tanjirou, but you can't always protect her." Giyuu said sternly and stared at Tanjirou.
Everyone was staring at us, but Mitsuri was smiling like crazy. What the heck was happening? I'm in between these two guys arguing... over me?
"Giyuu.." Tanjirou glared at Giyuu but didn't let go of my hand. This felt awkward.. Tanjirou didn't look the type to get mad. "I can do my best and I will."
"Not this time." Giyuu pulled me from Tanjirou and I was now standing besides him. "I have a date with (Y/N) this weekend anyways."
Mitsuri squealed like crazy and everyone else gasped in surprise, even Tanjirou looked shocked.
"D-Date?!" My head was spinning I felt like I reached a whole new level of blushing because my face was burning hot. "G-Giyuu—" I started saying but was caught off by Giyuu who slowly put his finger on my lips. He gave me a soft look which clearly said 'I'll tell you later.'
The bell rang after and we had to go to classes. I said goodbye to Giyuu and he gave me a slight smile. I went to get my things again and started walking to class with the rest. But this time Tanjirou kept very quiet... I found it odd he didn't even talk or smiled. Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Muichiro looked worried but didn't say a thing. I was confused at his sudden change as well, but Zenistu just shook his head in my direction.
"(Y/N) you're so dense." Zenitsu said as we waited in the classrooms or the teacher.
"Huh what do you mean by that?" I had no idea what he meant by that.
"HAVE YOU DATED ANYONE BEFORE YOU BRAT?" Inosuke exclaimed but was quickly hit on the head by Muichiro who told him to shut up.
"I actually haven't.. I've never dated anyone nor have I ever had my first kissed." Tanjirou who had left to the bathroom had come back and heard what I had said. He looked very flustered now and was even blushing.
"(Y/N) you really never dated before.. not even a first kiss?" He sat down besides me and Zenitsu got up from his sit and went to stand by Tanjirou.
"You know (Y/N)... Tanjirou also never dated anyone as well and never had his first kissed~" Zenitsu said in a teasing way which made Tanjirou even more flustered and told him to shut up.
"Whaaaaat?!" I was blushing like crazy once again. I can't believe Tanjirou has never dated anyone.. he's like any girls' dream boyfriend?!
The teacher came in and so the conversation stopped there and everyone reguero their seats. The classes went by pretty fast, but Tanjirou still looked very down. He wasn't very focused in class and even missed a question when the teacher called on him. Lunch time came and he got up and left quickly before I could stop him.
Did I do something to upset him? Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Muichiro told me not to worry too much about it and left to go find Tanjirou. I was left alone..
I sighed as I got up from my seat and started walking out the classroom. I was greeted by Giyuu who was waiting outside the door.
"Giyuu you scared me! Please don't do that!!" He just smiled and said he wanted to walk to lunch with me.
When we finally got to our table everyone was already there even Tanjirou. I frowned.. I was a bit sad that he didn't want to walk with me today.
"(Y/N) want to sit besides me?"Giyuu offered. I said sure because I didn't want to make Tanjirou uncomfortable anymore if I sat besides him.
The aura of the table was very different since Tanjirou wasn't being himself. He didn't talk, so the only people I talked to were Giyuu, Rengoku, and Mitsuri. They all once again asked more questions about the US and I couldn't help but smile as I answered them. Giyuu was talking a lot more and I was very happy about that. Though there were times I found Tanjirou staring at me which made me even more nervous.
The rest of the school day was like this and since it was Friday there was no practice for the Idol group as well. As the bell rang Tanjirou was again was about to leave the classroom first but before he did I grabbed his wrist. I was hurt... I was sad.. why is he doing this??
"(Y/N)?" Tanjirou asked and looked at me with his soft eyes.
"Why?" I started saying "why are you being like this? We just met each other and you're now ignoring me?!" I looked up at him as my eyes started watering. My emotions were getting the most of me, but I didn't care. "I don't know what I did to you but please tell me. I hate this. I hate how you're just ignoring me today..."
"(Y/N)..." Tanjirou pulled me into a hug and I pressed my face onto his chest. I started crying right there on the spot. "I'm sorry if I made you feel that way.. it's just we're both dense I suppose."
I wasn't sure what he meant, but this feeling right now. This feeling.. his embrace was warm and I loved it. I didn't want him to let go, my heart was beating like crazy and I could hear his heart beating fast as well. Is this.. what I think it is?
Tanjirou pulled away and whipped my tears away on my cheeks with his hand. His touch was so soft, I was blushing once again but I let him do it.
"(Y/N) is it okay if I walk you home today?" Tanjirou asked with a smile.
"Sure! Giyuu is staying to do something so he won't be able to."
"Aha I see.. I guess it's a competition then." Tanjirou said as we started walking out of campus together. Everyone had left so it was just us two now.
"What do you mean by that?" I was consfused, but then again I was confused about my own feelings as well. I never experienced having feelings towards someone so I wasn't even sure about my own feelings.
Tanjirou stopped walking and looked at me. "What I mean is.. Giyuu likes you and.. and so do I." His cheeks turned bright red but he continued on. "But I won't lose.. I'll try my best as well to win your heart (Y/N) though I've never had a girlfriend before. I know my feeling for you are real, because I've never met anyone with such a kind personality like you (Y/N)."
I was speechless.. Tanjirou and Giyuu likes me?! I looked at him "Tanjirou.. I don't really understand my own feelings."
"It's okay (Y/N) you can take your time as long as we're here with you!"
The rest of the walk home was quiet we talked about normal things. It was a pleasant walk home with Tanjirou. His kind aura had come back and I was enjoying being with him.
When I told Tanjirou I was living in a mansion he wasn't surprised. He had assumed I lived somewhere fancy after all, which made me laugh.
"Hey (Y/N)! I don't live that far from here.. I live in a small house a couple blocks away from here! Maybe I can come visit you one day so you can meet Nzuko."
"I would love too!!" I was excited at the thought of meeting Tanjirou's younger sister.
Tanjirou laughed, "let's talk about it another time then (Y/N), it's getting late I should get going."
     "Okay.." I loved Tanjirou's company so seeing him go made my heart ache for some reason. Tanjirou smiled and hugged me before he left. He didn't mention anything about the so called date I have with Giyuu tomorrow.

     Later that night I found myself thinking about the date with Giyuu tomorrow. I was nervous... this was goi n to be my first date with a guy. I never thought about it, I hope I don't do anything stupid. Even with that I still as thoughts of Tanjirou going through my mind. This felt like a whole k drama about a love triangle and I didn't like it..
