Simple understanding [INOTAN]

Where do we go from here?

"Aoi, I can hear Inosuke coming back!" Zenitsu lazily called from the table he was now half laying on. Aoi popped her head around the corner and looked towards the door. They both perked up a lot more once it opened, revealing Inosuke and Tanjiro, completely drenched, with Tanjiro passed out in Inosuke's arms,
"AAAAAHHHHH IS HE DEAD?! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Zenitsu screamed and pointed as he saw them, Aoi quickly threw her duster at him,
"Shut up! He's not dead!" She hurriedly walked over to them and looked at Tanjiro,
"He's just overworked himself too much. He was bound to collapse from exhaustion at some point, why'd it have to be in the rain.. follow me, we'll warm him up and let him rest," Aoi looked up at Inosuke and walked towards the medical beds. Zenitsu sat sniffing away his tears,
"Poor Tanjiro got killed by Aoi's foooood," he mumbled to himself,
"SHUT IT!" Aoi yelled from around the corner,
"Right- lay him down here. We'll have to get the wet clothes off and get him into something warm. I don't know how heavy of a sleeper he is so we'll have to be quick, I'm going to get a change of clothes and a warm cloth. Get those clothes off and cover him with a blanket,"
Inosuke sat looking dumbfounded, he barely caught what she was saying,
"Take him damn clothes off!" Aoi yelled as she shut the door and went to get what she needed. Inosuke scoffed and grumbled to himself as he unbuttoned Tanjiro's shirt,
"Making me do all the work after I had to carry him. Do this Inosuke, do thaaaat. I'll start an uprising with all the squirrels. That'll teach her. Stupid-" Inosuke stopped. He had taken off all the wet clothes, so now he could see Tanjiro's full body. He never thought he'd be so scarred. They'd trained together shirtless many times, but he never really stopped and stared like a creep. Inosuke wondered if he could count them all. He got lost in thought and didn't even realise he was just staring at his almost naked friend as Aoi walked back in,
"I've got the- did I walk in on something weird here?"
"nO-"
"Whatever, I've got a towel to dry him with and a warm cloth. Then put these clothes on him, okay?"
"Why me-"
"Don't just sit there and stare at him this time-"
"I wASN'T-"
"I'll be back in a bit!"
Aoi walked out again. Inosuke angrily picked up the towel and went to dry Tanjiro. He wasn't sure how to dry someone else, so he mostly just pat him down gently,
"I'm not putting the clothes on him though," he mumbled to himself,
"It's fine, I can do that myself," Tanjiro mumbled as he opened his eyes. This made Inosuke jump so he instinctively threw the clothes at Tanjiro's face,
"How long were you awake?!"
"Not long, I just woke up," he sighed as he pulled the clothes off his face,
"Why am I naked?"
"You passed out in the rain,"
"In the rain?.. oh, training. I need to carry on, I wasn't done," Tanjiro started to sit up. Inosuke put his hands on his shoulders and pushed him back down,
"You barely relax anymore, take the opportunity to slack,"
"I can't. I'll fall behind,"
"Psh, I'm already way ahead of you-" Inosuke started, "plan wise!" He changed his words quickly,
"You're smart so I don't know why I thought of this before you, but you want to get ahead and be strong don't you?"
Tanjiro nodded,
"Then you have to count eating and sleeping in that too. We're beating you right now in how much we've eaten and how much we've slept. You're like a baby compared to us,"
Tanjiro smiled weakly, "are you trying to encourage me to take care of myself Inosuke?"
"Huh? No! But- you fell on me like you died outside. It was.. weird. If you don't get better and it happens again, you might hit your head or fall off a cliff or something,"
Tanjiro snorted and lent against Inosuke,
"You're right. I have plenty of time to improve. But if I have to keep coming here to rest, that'll take up all my time. I'll take better care of myself, I'm sorry,"
"Talk to us more too, idiot," Inosuke mumbled as he looked away,
"What?"
"You don't talk with us anymore. We talk at you, but you don't answer us. You don't even sit with us,"
"You.. want me to interact with you more? Wouldn't it be distracting-"
"It isn't distracting," Inosuke interrupted quickly, "we like it when you talk with us. And when you smile,"
He slowly turned back to Tanjiro, concerned with the lack of reply. He was crying,
"What- uh- I'm sorry- you don't have to talk to us, we have all sorts of interesting talks. We talked about rabbits eating their own-"
"No- I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored you and zenitsu. I even ignored Aoi when she tried to give me food. I know you're all doing your best. I wanted to do my best too but-" he stopped and just cried. Inosuke slowly pat Tanjiro on the back awkwardly,
"You've done better than us. The whole time, you've been so far ahead. I just don't want you to die," Inosuke couldn't think of what else to say. It seemed to have done the job anyway. Tanjiro hugged Inosuke and his crying slowed down a bit,
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he repeated quietly.
Inosuke hugged back stiffly and waited for Tanjiro to stop apologising. He looked down and saw he had fallen asleep again, this time on him.
Inosuke stared in silence, he felt all warm and bubbly, like when the old lady was kind to him. He shook his head and laid Tanjiro back down on the bed. He put the clean clothes on a neighbouring bed and left the room quietly. He turned to leave when he saw Aoi. She had been eavesdropping and was in tears,
"Wha-?! Why are you crying?!" Inosuke whisper yelled,
"Tanjiro finally stopped! He stopped!" She couldn't say much else as she was speaking through tears. She hugged Inosuke,
"Thank youuuu," she sniffled, "no more training for the rest of the day. Just rest or something," she wiped away her tears and walked to her room.
Inosuke stood still, dumbfounded. He had never had so many people cry on him. He looked down at his clothes,
"They left their damn snot on me,"
