Chapter 15

Previously!

Craning your neck to the side and speaking softly, "You don't have to be formal anymore, Tanjiro-kun." You said as your eyes yearned to close, Tanjiro listening intently, "And besides," pausing for a second as you laid your head back onto the pillow, "(Y/N)chan has a nice ring to it." Tanjiro smiled softly at your words, happy to know that he was able to use such formality with you as you merely smiled at how considerate he was being. With the final wave of drowsiness hitting you, you whispered,

"Sleep well, Tanjiro-kun." 

On to Chapter 15!

Sleeping peacefully, you felt a small shake on your shoulder as a familiar voice whispered, "(Y/N)chan, wake up." Waking up slowly, you pried open your tired eyes to meet two, beady, crimson eyes staring into your own. Grunting softly as you opened your eyes all the way, you could now fully see Tanjiro looking back at you with a beaming smile, glad to have finally awaken you. Forcing your neck to look behind you as your head stayed on the pillow, you could clearly see that it was pitch black outside. With a tired whine, you stretched as you felt Tanjiro leave the futon that you both slept on for the entire day. 

Finally getting off of the futon, you began to walk over to your belongings, first putting on your haori and then your sword. Rolling your shoulders as you turned over to your friend who was currently putting on his own haori, "Are you almost ready, Tanjiro-kun?" Looking up at you quickly, he nodded as he finally put on the brown box that carried his sister. Seeing him carry the box did sorta weird you out, mainly because his little sister was literally in there sleeping. 

But waving the thought away, you let Tanjiro unlock the sliding door and followed behind him swiftly. Speeding up right next to his side, he began to converse with you about various things; these ranged from food all the way completely small things. Laughing together upon making it to the front desk, you returned the key to the women who was still there from earlier. Moving towards the exit, you heard the lady yell out, "Enjoy the rest of your night you two!" You merely nodded drowsily. But Tanjiro, who was already full of energy, "Thanks! You too ma'am!" You watched with tired eyes as the women blushed at your friends words. A quick pang of jealousy shot through your heart as you saw the rosy tint over the lady's cheeks. 

Standing there, deciding what to do, you noticed how the girl was trying to converse with Tanjiro. Trying to suppress your strong emotions which you lacked to control, you softly grabbed your friends hand, making him look at you with confusion. "Let's go Tanjiro-kun, we still got a mission to finish, remember?" He merely looked at you with surprise, smelling the heavy air of jealousy surrounding you, which he personally found quite cute. Returning a bright grin back to you, "Ah, right! Well, let's go then, (Y/N)chan." After finishing his sentence, you felt him squeeze your hand lightly, which made your heart flutter more than it should.

Walking around the lit city, you looked around back and forth, trying to find a small shop to buy some food from. "What are you looking for (Y/N)chan?" The sun haired boy asked, not too sure with what you were doing. "Looking for a place to eat, I'm kinda hungry. Are you not?" You asked, looking back at him with curious (e/c) eyes. He nodded as his smile widened, "Yeah, I'm pretty hungry myself. We can go eat over there if you'd like," nodding his head in the direction of the small shop that he spotted. Looking in the direction that he nodded towards, you saw the tightly squeezed shop that was being hidden by passer-by's. Thinking that it would be a good choice to go to, you dragged your red-headed friend towards the little store, hunger controlling your movements rather than your own mind.
