+*~ Muichiro's POV ~*+

I had heard Tanjiro's mom when they were talking, and I got myself excited when she said he had a crush on me AND he didn't deny it. But I was sad when he said it was a joke she made...

Once I made it to my door, I started unlocking my door.

"Why are you sad then?" Tanjiro asked, I already knew he knew why, he just wanted to hear me say it.

"You already know why..." I walked into my apartment leaving the door open for Tanjiro wanting him to follow, I could hear him hesitate at the door... then I heard footsteps... then the door closed... I turned around.

"You have a right to know, so I'll tell you," He waited as I struggled with the words to say. "H-How do I say it? I-Its embarrassing b-but still..."

"It's about me, isn't it?" Tanjiro said. I nodded, he walked up to me and smiled.

"I won't make fun. Go ahead."

I stared at him a little longer still struggling, and he sighed. "Muichiro, if you're not comfortable sharing it with me, then you don't have to."

He turned to the door and started to walk away, he was halfway out the door when I objected.

"N-No! D-Don't!" 

"You're sweating, badly. You don't want to say it," Tanjiro said while turning his back to me again.

I ran up to him and turned him around, 'I hope I don't embarrass myself...' I grabbed his face in my hands and got on my tippytoes... I slipped and he caught me.

'Great... I did just that.'

"Muichiro, are you alright?!" Tanjiro asked concerned.

"Im fine..." I said turning away from him embarrassed.

"See? You don't want to say it, and that's fine. I'll wait," Tanjiro was still to patient with me.

"N-No please, I w-want to," I mumbled unsure if he heard me. He got up pulling me up with him.

"You're not ready, and that's okay," Tanjiro turned to me again and this time left, locking the door behind him. 

I stood there looking at the door, so confused on why is was so hard to tell him the truth. I sighed, and decided I'd just have ramen noodles for dinner again. 'Damn, this is the last one,' I'd just have to go shopping eventually.

After I finished cooking the noodles, I slumped over to the couch and covered myself in blankets, I turned on the tv and ate the noodles. I was sad and upset with myself, 'It's just three word's, how come you weren't able to say them?'

-~* Tanjiro's POV *~-

I wonder what he was trying to say? I probably shouldn't guess what it is, after all, he probably didn't want to tell me anyway, like he was forcing himself to tell me something that was some what embarrassing.

I sighed and tried to let it go, 'Probably wasn't important... right?'

I knocked on the door and my mother opened it, "Did you two talk? That took a while, dear," She let me in.

"Yea, sorry," I walked in.

"It's fine, dear," She led me to the kitchen.

"Eveyrthing alright?" I asked as she went in the medication cabinet.

"No silly, you have dried blood below you're nose," She giggled.

"O-Oh right! I forgot," I completely forgot about that... I wonder what the neibors thought when they saw that TvT.

She grabbed a rag and wet it, "Sit down, okay?" I nodded and sat down at the dinner table.

"Good thing none of you're siblings are home, yet," Mom started to wipe the dried blood off. I flinched when I realized it stung.

"Sorry, just a little more," She continued and then took a step back to look at my nose.

"Hmmm, doesn't look like any cuts, okay you're good," She took the rag and went to the laundry room.

I got up and headed to my room, I decided to lie on my bed and just scroll threw my phone, Nezuko had sent me something.

I groaned when it was a picture of Kanao in a bikini, Nezuko had been trying to make me like HER since the 3rd grade. She still hadn't succeeded. I had nothing against Kanao, she was nice and pretty good-looking. Just not my type is all. 

I remembered that I needed stuff for the model, so I got back up and put my shoes back on. I walked downstairs and went into the kitchen where my parents were. 

"Hey Mom, hey Dad, im going to the art store I need supplies for a project," I said as I grabbed the keys to my car.

"Okay, come back in time for dinner," I nodded.

I closed and locked the front door behind me. I walked to my car and unlocked it, I got in and started the car. I sighed when I was out of the driveway. I didn't even know where the nearest art store was I just had to look.

After driving around for a bit I found one, I parked the car, and entered the store. I searched for a while but then I found perfect supplies for the project, I put them in the cart and got the paints I needed.

I bought them and left the store. Once I arrived back home the rest of my siblings had already beat me, 'That was quick.'

I walked in and Nezuko grinned at me, "No more photos, Nez," She laughed, "Why not? That doesn't do it for you?"

"Ugh, you're gross, you know I don't like her like that," I always tried to tell her to stop but she never did.

"But she likes YOU like that, c'mon take a chance!" Nezuko whined.

"Im not into those types," She gave me a weird look.

"Types? Ohh, you mean Muichiro, weird nickname big brother," She teased.

"Nezuko shut it! If you know I like HIM, then why bother getting me with Kanao?" She giggled.

"Just tryna see who you'd rather pick," She giggled again. I groaned and went upstairs to my room.

I went to my desk and placed the supplies on my desk, I sat down and got to work. After a few hours, it looked pretty good, and I decided to finish it tomorrow.

"Dinner!" My mother yelled from downstairs.

I got up and headed downstairs. I sat down at the dinner table with the rest of the dinner table. The table was already set so once everyone else was seated we said grace and started to eat as normal.

"Hey Brother, got my text?"

"No, my phone's in silent BECAUSE of that," I laughed, "Nice try though."

"It's fine you'll see it eventually," She grinned and giggled.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I can't say it here!"

"What's going on with you two?" My father joked.
"Brother refuses to try to see what's it like dating Kanao!"

"Because I don't like her like that," I defended myself.

"Ya'mean you don't like girls?" Nezuko clarified.

My family laughed, "I still don't get why you still try to make me like her."

"Ugh, you're so unfair, Brother!"

I laughed.

"No, Im not!"
