Falling For K.T. [A Muichiro x Tanjiro Story]

Chapter 7

Panic instantly set over Muichiro's mind. He instantly darts over to his desk and grabs whatever pen he's got laying on his messy desk. Muichiro's mind is racing with various ways to approach this. "Uh—What do I—" He mentally slaps himself; he has never fretted this hard over something in his whole life!

There were multiple ways to approach this situation.

There's the Comforting kind, where he calms K.T. down and then continue from there. 𝕀𝕥'𝕤 𝕠𝕜𝕒𝕪. ℂ𝕒𝕝𝕞 𝕕𝕠𝕨𝕟, 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕒 𝕕𝕖𝕖𝕡 𝕓𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕙 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕣𝕪 𝕥𝕠 𝕣𝕖𝕝𝕒𝕩 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕞𝕦𝕤𝕔𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕕. 𝔻𝕠𝕟'𝕥 𝕝𝕖𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕣, 𝕒𝕝𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥? 𝕎𝕖 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕗𝕚𝕘𝕦𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕥𝕠𝕘𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣.

There's also the demanding kind, where he commands that K.T. calms down. It sounds harsh, but he does try to make him feel better. 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕗𝕒𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕨𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕓𝕖 𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕖.

There is also a way where Muichiro tries to put himself in K.T.'s situation. 𝕃𝕠𝕠𝕜, 𝕀 𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕗𝕖𝕖𝕝 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕨𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕖 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕 𝕚𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕒𝕡𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕘, 𝕓𝕦𝕥 𝕚𝕥 𝕚𝕤𝕟'𝕥. 𝔸𝕝𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥? 𝕎𝕖 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕥𝕠𝕘𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣. 𝕀 𝕨𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕟 𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕡 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕓𝕝𝕖𝕞𝕤 𝕒𝕟𝕠𝕟𝕪𝕞𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕝𝕪, 𝕙𝕠𝕨'𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥?

With all of these options swirling in his mind, he feels like his heart is about to jump out of his chest from all the adrenaline pumping through his veins.

Comfort. I'll comfort them—Muichiro forces himself to repeat that in his mind. His hand finally gets to work, writing scribbles onto the pages hastily. He hoped that K.T. was able to read these words—Maybe he got to his book too late, and K.T. already left?

Muichiro bites the cap on his pen, that's pushed tightly onto the end of the pen. It was a bad habit of his, he's always fidgety when he's nervous.
