▪Deadly Thorns and Violent Storms▪

Chapter 47

Tanjiro's POV:

Me and Inosuke started walking in the direction of my house, but I quickly came to a stop and said, "Hey, uh-! Do you.. wanna go do something?"

I can't just go home, my mother and siblings are all probably talking about me and Zenitsu.. and I don't want to hear them.

"Yeah! Like a date?" He asked me intently, I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.

Either way, I got flusteted and exclaimed, "Not a date!! Just two friends going out!"

He thought for a second then nodded, "Got it, we're going out."

"Don't say it like that!"

Inosuke laughed and I took that as my cue to laugh, too.

Then suddenly my phone started buzzing like crazy, so I took it out of my pocket, seeing that when I had fallen the screen had gotten cracked a little.

I turned on the phone to see Nezuko spamming me with text messages. "One second Inosuke, I need to respond to Nezuko."

"Can I see what Nutella's saying??"

"Sure, I guess." I opened her messages and she seemed mad.

2:10 p.m.

Nezuko 🌸 :

Brother?!

Brother, where are you?

Takeo's telling me
you ran away!

Everyone is worried sick,
please come home.

Mother wants to
talk to you.

She knows about
you and Zenitsu.

Please, answer me!

2:40 p.m.

Tanjiro 🌼 :

I'm with Inosuke.

We're going to go
somewhere so
I'll be home later!

Nezuko 🌸 :

What?!

Mother wants you
home now, though!

Tanjiro 🌼 :

I just need fresh air.

I'll be home tonight,
I promise.

Nezuko 🌸 :

You are so difficult
sometimes.

Fine, then!

Have fun on your date.

Tanjiro 🌼 :

I'm dating Zenitsu, you
know it's not a date!

Nezuko 🌸 :

Mhm.

Tell Inosuke I say hi.

Tanjiro 🌼 :

I will, bye.

I had completely forgotten Inosuke was over my shoulder the whole time we were texting.
