•~Chapter 6: This Wasn't Part of The Mission!~•

What happens if you fall in love while you're on a mission?

The ship of this chapter is PURE Zenzuko :)

Third Person POV:

The girl and the blonde boy looked at each other for a moment.

Then, Zenitsu snapped out of his daze, and he started panicking internally.

"Oh no oh no!" he said, bowing. "Sorry for bumping into you! I really have to be going now!"

Zenitsu began to dash off, blushing profusely in embarrassment, but the same warm hand caught him before he left.

"Wait!" she said. "I'm Nezuko...and you don't have to be sorry."

The blonde turned around. The brown eyes met the pink, and then they stared at each other once again.

Until they both realized they were still holding hands, and they both let go in embarrassment.

Zenitsu and Nezuko turned away from each other, blushing. Nezuko turned pink to match her eyes, and Zenitsu...well Zenitsu was practically hyperventilating on the inside.

They looked at each other after a long, awkward silence.

"So I see you wanted to try that new bread sample..." Nezuko said, after getting more comfortable.

"Umm...yeah!" Zenitsu babbled. "I mean...I don't have any yen, so free samples are the best thing right now to satisfy my hunger."

"Oh!" Nezuko said. "Um, if you'd like, I can buy you some bread...I kind of love bread too, and was coming out to this bakery to buy some..."

"O-oh!" Zenitsu said, snapping out of his thoughts. 

Calm down, Zenitsu, it's not a date...she's just being considerate... he thought to himself, still hyperventilating.

"Y-yes...I'll come with you to buy bread!" Zenitsu finally managed, causing Nezuko to sigh with relief. She covered it up right after.

The pair headed into the bakery, first at an awkward pace, and as they got more comfortable, they started walking normally.

They both walked up to the counter, where woman with pink and green hair looked up from the register.

"Oh, hello Nezuko!" the woman said happily. It appeared to Zenitsu that Nezuko had been a regular at this bakery...

"Aaaaaand who's this fine gentleman~?" the woman cooed, laying eyes on Zenitsu. "You don't, ah, have a boooyfriend now, do you, Nezuko?"

Nezuko and Zenitsu both turned red.

"N-no ma'am, it's not like that!" Zenitsu said in a rushed voice. Nezuko looked disappointed. "She just offered to buy me bread, that's a-all...I didn't have any yen!"

"Oh- if you insist, than that's your case~" she said, smiling smugly at the two. "I do happen to give discounts to couples that I take a liking to!"

The two blushed and blushed as they order their bread. "Thanks, Mrs Kanroji!" Nezuko had said hurriedly, determined to get away from the widely grinning woman.

Only when they sat down at a table by a window, they both calmed down.
