32: Maybe Kyojuro Was The REAL Simp All Along

"Rengoku!"

"Quick! Let me do the Heimlich Maneuver!"

You rush around Tanjiro to aid Kyojuro. You bend over and reach for his shoulders to get him to stand. But Kyojuro pounds on his chest once and is A-okay.

You knew you weren't the prettiest girl in Japan, but damn, you didn't expect Kyojuro to almost die while looking at you!

Kyojuro's cheeks were a bit flushed from almost dying, and his eyes were a little glossy now too.

The blonde puts his food down on the seat next to him then stands up and sweeps you up into a hug. You squeak as you're lifted off the ground slightly, so you tightly reciprocated the hug to not fall to your death.

"(Y/n)! I didn't expect to see you here! What a fantastic surprise!" Kyojuro laughs as he sways from foot to foot.

You understand some of that: "It's good to see you, Kyojuro!"

Kyojuro holds back from squealing and instead swings you lightly from side to side.

Your shitty Japanese... was the cutest fucking thing he's ever heard!

"Wait, these two know each other?" Zenitsu asks.

Tanjiro furrows his eyebrows, "Um, I guess..."

Last time Tanjiro checked, you two didn't know each other. You were there at the Pillar meeting, but you didn't actually speak to...

No.

Tanjiro remembers now.

Right before he was taken to Shinobu's house, he saw the Flame Pillar approach you. And when you came back from the meeting, Kyojuro's smell was strong on you.

But still, Kyojuro was your Senior! Why were you two on a first name base already?

You chuckle in embarrassment as you hug him, suddenly remembering what Shinobu told you. Kyojuro sets you back down and very noticeably checks you out.

"You're just as beautiful as I remember!" Kyojuro gives you a cheeky smile, "I definitely appreciate the new socks as well!"

And to show his appreciation, his hand reaches down and pulls at the sock and lets it snap back onto your thigh.

Tanjiro.EXE has stopped working.

You squeak at the sudden sting that came with the sock snapping on your thigh, face burning hot.

"Um, Re-Rengoku?" Zenitsu timidly speaks up, "(Y/n) did learn some Japanese, but it's still not enough to really know what you said."

Kyojuro nods, "Right."

He leans over to get in eye-level with you and softly takes your chin between his thumb and index finger.

The Flame Pillar smiles at you sweetly: "It's wonderful you're here. I'm glad I have you by my side."

Kyojuro tilts his head and leans forward, you notice him starting to purse his lips.

Tanjiro.EXE has stopped working. Windows can check a solution online to the problem. Check online for a solution and close out the program-

Your face bursts into a red hue and you push away Kyojuro's face with your hands out of pure embarrassment.

You step back and hide your face in your palms, however it did nothing to offer you cover since your ears were flushed as well.
