Till the Light due us part (Tanzen/Zentan)

𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑠

((Zenitsu's POV))

I remember the day that I was found by Tanjiro, it was a blessing. I would probably have been dead by now if he didn't find me. I sip on a cup of Green tea, it wasn't the best, to be honest, but I'm not focused on that now. I look over at Tanjiro, he's always training himself it's amazing to watch.

I can't help myself but stare at him in full amazement. He trains so hard and to think he does all of this for Nezuko. I wish I was like Tanjiro sometimes then maybe I could be useful for once. As much as I want to continue to stare at him training, I know I probably look like a creep.

I walk back into the Butterfly Mansion we were houses in at the moment. You see we all went on a mission together and got injured badly. So we were taken back here, it is beautiful though I do admit, Especially the girls! I continue to walk down the halls trying not to get lost.

I finally make it back to the room and plopped down on my bed. I noticed how messy Inosuke's bed is. I groaned it's kinda annoying to look at, I hate it. I get up and make Inosuke's bed as usual. Then I started to think about Nezuko and Tanjiro.

Nezuko was beautiful so very beautiful, she never talked much but I bet her voice is beautiful. Then there is Tanjiro, he is everything you would want in a guy. Handsome, strong, smart, brave, and so much more. Sometimes I wish I could marry him, but he's a dude and I'm straight.

Wait a minute, did I just say I wanted to marry Tanjiro?

I felt my face heat up when I thought of that, marry Tanjiro? There is no way I could marry a guy! That would be weird after all I'm after a wife, not a husband, Right? I'm not gay I know that I mean I respect gay people, but I'm not gay! But yet again there is always the slim chance I am...

NO! Why am I even considering the possibility, this is so annoying. I grab Inosuke's Pillow and scream my anger and confusion out onto it. What is this feeling inside me, I've never felt it before. Until I met Tanjiro it's a strange feeling.

I feel all tingly on the inside whenever I see him, I can feel my heartbeat a bit faster near him. He always had a gentle sound radiate from him, I always wanna cry when I hear it it's so beautiful. I sigh as I go and lay down on my bed and pull the covers over me while trying to get my mind away from this.

I try to fall asleep but it seems that my body just doesn't feel like sleeping again for the second time today. The sunlight shining on my face, I can feel that this will be a long day for me. I stare at the ceiling my mind a blank canvas of darkness that I dare not fill with light. I wish I was more useful sometimes it's always Tanjiro wasting time on me to defend me.

"Zenitsu?" I heard a voice say.

I quickly jolt myself up and look at who said my name and of course it was Tanjiro. I let out a faint sigh, that gentle hypnotizing melody playing in my ears was a full-on blessing!

"Hello, Tanjiro do you need anything?" I ask him as I stared at him a bit.

"No I don't, I just got done training outside and came inside for a quick rest then I'll probably head back out." He responded as he walked over and threw himself on his bed next to mine.

I looked at him with a soft smile as I laid down on my bed again and stared at the back of his head.

"Zenitsu are you staring at me?" Tanjiro said suddenly.

Wait, what? How did he notice?

"Uhm, of course not!" I reply sharply, oh god I'm such a bad liar he's gonna kill me! But instead of him being angry or exposing me, he laughed so softly that I felt my face heat up. He rolled over and he smiled gently.

"Zenitsu you are an awful liar you know that right? But it's fine, I really don't mind." Tanjiro simply said.

I looked away, extremely embarrassed this wasn't part of my plan today. I could still hear that gentle melody, but I also heard something else coming from Tanjiro. I can't point my finger on it but it was lovely to hear like raindrops hitting the ground or the waves of a beach on a peaceful day. I looked back up at Tanjiro and made eye contact with his dark red eyes, oh god I could stare into those all day.

I noticed a very light pink blush across Tanjiro's face, oh god I'm probably making him embarrassed! I look down also feeling embarrassment truly settle in my head.

"Sorry..." I told Tanjiro quietly.
