3rd person POV
It was new day, a bright summer morning. Aoi was cooking breakfast while Inosuke waited patiently for his friends to wake up. He was worried sick, but Aoi told him they should be waking up soon. Inosuke hasn't slept in a day, he was up all night watching his friends, hoping at least one of them would wake up. He kept his mask on so Aoi wouldn't notice his sleep deprived face. He even cried, he waited for everyone to go sleep to do so, but he would never admit that.
Inosuke POV
"Ok, breakfast's ready!" Aoi announced from the kitchen
"Ok!" The three girls said in union. They ate happily and discussed about what game they should play today.
"Come on, Inosuke, I made some for you too, you must be hungry."
"Oh, um, ok!" I almost told her I was fine but I was really hungry. Right when I was about to stand up, I heard a noise come from Nezuko.
"N-Nezuko!?" I exclaimed.
"Mm....where am I?..."
"The Butterfly Mansion, are you feeling ok?" I said taking off my mask
"Yes, I'm fine, you look really tired, Inosuke!.."
"Yeah I know, but don't tell her that..."
"But why am I here? Oh, I mean why are we all here?" She asked confused realizing the presence of the two boys a couple feet away from her.
"It's a long story." Aoi added, entering the room with an apron on. I quickly put on my mask again.
"Yeah, it would be best to wait for them to wake up as well before we tell you." I told Nezuko.
"Ah, that's ok. It smells really good, are those eggs you're making?"
"Actually, they're already cooked if you're feeling hungry!" Aoi replied with a smile.
"Oh yes, I'm starving! I mean- if that's ok with you-"
"Hehe, of course, come on inosuke, come eat with us!"
"Going!"
We ate our breakfast, joining the girls who were almost done eating. I tried lowering my bangs so they wouldn't see my undereyes, I was too tired to hear a lesson from Aoi. Zenitsu and Tanjiro won't wake up until later this afternoon, they were about to turn into demons, their bodies will need more time to recover, unlike Nezuko who only got poison. She looks fine, in fact, she looks like nothing happened! She's really strong.
After three hours of waiting they were still asleep, as expected. I began thinking about waking them up by force but then mentally slapped myself knowing very well they needed to recover at their own pace.
"I can't wait for them to wake up, I'm very confused about what happened to us and why we're here!" Nezuko pouted. I noticed her staring at Zenitsu, I wonder if she likes him the way I like Tanjiro, why not ask her?
"Nezuko?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you love Zenitsu?"
Her eyes got big and her face went red in an instant, I guess I got my answer. I laughed at how nervous she got as she punched me playfully telling me it wasn't funny. When we calmed down she cleared her throat and spoke.
"I-... I do, I really love Zenitsu. And I know you love Tanjiro too, S-SO WE'RE EVEN!"
"What!? You do!?"
"Heh, of course we do!"
"We!?"
"Zenitsu and I have been shipping you guys since forever! And it was so obvious you liked each other so don't look so surprised!" She teased.
