-+~ Forever ~+- A Tanmui Story~

++ Apartment? ~-~ Chapter 3! ++

"T-They died awhile b-back... a-along with my twin Y-Yuichiro," he stuttered with his words fighting back his tears again. I wiped them off his face.

"Im so sorry that happened Muichiro. I wish I never asked and- and maybe you wouldn't be here..."

"It's not your fault," He smiled and I smiled back. He turned red when he realized what position we were in so did I. Muichiro was nearly on my lap.

He immediately pushed away. My face was burning. 

"S-Sorry I didn't realize..." I apologized.

"Don't apologize, you were j-just trying to calm me d-down was all..."

"How do you afford this place?" I asked.

"I have a job at the n-nursing home, it p-pays well."

"Don't you ever get lonely?" 

"Honestly... sometimes I do, but I live with it s-so I'm good."

I nodded not knowing what to say. "Sorry I brought it up, I wouldn't have if I knew it would hurt you."

"It's okay, at least you were there to comfort me when it happened."

We stayed silent for a moment.

"Y-You should probably go home now."

"Right! My family is probably worried," I said getting up from the couch. Muichiro followed me to the door. 

I opened it, "Bye, cya tomorrow."

"Yea tomorrow," I walked out and I could feel his eyes on me as I left into the elevator door. I could tell he didn't want me to leave and I wanted the same but I had to go home. 

As I was walking I started thinking about the thing's he said. I felt bad for him. I felt sad, sympathy and some other feeling I can't identify for him. 

Once I made it home I knocked on the door. My mother answered with a worried look on her face. Once she saw me she threw her arms over me, "Oh dear! I was so worried for you! Where were you?!"

"Hehe, just at a friends house helping with something."

"Okay, come in dinners already done."

"Alright."

I walked in the dining room and greeted my waiting family. "Tanjiro where were you?" My Father  asked, "Friends house."

I sat down and dinner was already on the table. "Well you made it just in time," Nezuko giggled.

We said grace and started to eat. 

"Tanjiro got partnered up with is crush today," Nezuko randomly said.

"Wait what-"

"In what dear?"

"Science."

"Muichiro is not my crush!"

"You talk about him all the time," Nezuko defended.

"And you called him cute one brother!" Takeo defended Nezuko. I groaned. And my mom giggled. 

"Their right dear, you do talk about him a lot," She giggled again.

"Fine fine, I might have feelings for him so what? He probably doesn't like me back anyway."

"Oh c'mon brother! Don't be like that!" Nezuko moaned.

I laughed, "What its true!"

  

** After Dinner **

It was my turn to do the dishes so I gathered the dishes and started doing them in the sink. While I was doing them I thought of what happened earlier with Muichiro...

The image of him crying bothered me, it made me wanna protect him. If anyone were to bother him I'd do whatever I could to make sure they never did it again. He was already going through enough.

I finished with the last dish and headed upstairs. I took out my homework from my backpack ad started on it. While I was stuck on a problem I got a thought. 'Maybe I should get his number...' Would he even want that? 

After I was finished with my homework I brushed my teeth and went to lay in bed. 

I covered myself in the covers still thinking about Muichiro for some reason. 'Maybe Nezuko and my family were right, maybe I do have a crush on him.'

I started to fall asleep.
