Chapter 36 : Mini-Chapter (Zenitsu)

Zenitsu

While staying at the Wisteria Home, you had many one-on-one time with Zenitsu. This little moment with one-another was actually becoming a bi-weekly thing. And today was one of those days. 

Walking side-by-side with the overly-excited Zenitsu talking about how happy he is to be hanging out with you once more, you both made your way outside. You sighed happily while lifting your head up slightly to have the suns rays kiss your cheeks delightfully. And while doing so, Zenitsu watched you with wonder before flinging himself onto you, "Ahhh~! (Y/N)chan! You look so beautiful under the sun! Please just stay right next to me!" You laughed as the male excitedly hugged you while you gently held one of his arms. 

With Zenitsu still hugging you tightly, you both finally made it to under a tree that was a little afar from the doors of the Wisteria Home. Finally convincing the yellow, affectionate boy to release you from his death grip, you both sat in the green grass and began to converse.

Your talks were always calmer than expected; they only revolved around both of your experiences and maybe a little love-life thrown into the mix. Oh, and many flirty moves from Zenitsu which you've come to enjoy as you spent more time with him. And as you both spoke calmly with the other while calm winds passed by, Zenitsu brought up the sudden idea that he should repay you for giving him a head scratch from a while ago. You tried to convince that it wasn't necessary but he quickly became persistent and won you over in the end. 

Sighing as you got up to go over and lie down in Zenitsu's lap, the male bounced with excitement. And as you began to come down and lie back into him, the male could feel his body shaking with anticipation and his heart bursting with killing excitement while his cheeks now began to brighten. Finally lying down and becoming comfortable in his lap, you placed your hands over your stomach and looked up at the flustered male. A stare down occurred between the two of you until you finally spoke, "Are we just going to stare at each other or are you going to scratch my head?" Zenitsu, almost as if rudely awakened from a sleep, accidentally slapped the side of your head which caught you by surprise. 

Quickly, he began to apologize but stopped as soon as he began as he saw you laughing wildly. "Don't worry about it Zenitsu-kun! It didn't hurt at all." You spoke with a radiating smile. The aforementioned male only nodded with his lips formed into a tight 'o' shape . Slowly, you felt Zenitsu's fingers climb into your hair and touch your scalp before slowly beginning to scratch it. With your eyes closing and slowly beginning to float out of bliss, you let your yellow friend do the rest of the work.

Zenitsu watched from above as you sinked your head deeper into his lap and fingers. His already existing blush burned brighter as he saw your blissful smile widen. And to make it worse, you slowly opened one of your eyes to ask him to go a little rougher, which was something that his mind took into two different directions. But making sure to continue the head scratch, he began to scratch your head a little more aggressively, which seemed to have satisfied you. 

And as a few minutes began to slowly pass by, Zenitsu slowly became more and more comfortable. Finally letting his body breathe and not be suffocated by intense excitement and underlying worry, he was able to finally realize a couple things about you. He noticed how your heart beat'd softly while your breathing was soft yet happy. And before he knew it, he was beginning to hear you more and more louder and clearer. 

The sounds of the deafening wind was slowly becoming more and more dimmer. The blades of grass that were ever so blasting when they shivered among each other began to silence themselves. And the tree's leaves that ruffled with excitement from the winds delightful touch were beginning to calm themselves. It was only you that he was slowly beginning to hear: your heart beating ever so calmly, your breathing that exposed your happiness and enjoyment, and everything else that surrounded you. And as he immersed himself more and more into you and rather than the environment, he was clearly seeing what made you so unique and beautiful. 

Your hairs that snaked their way through his fingers were always eager to move, your three cuts on your cheek, especially the new one that you received from Inosuke that sat between the two other cuts, and your features that were as if molded by a dedicated sculptor. His fingers slowly began to stop as he continued to gaze upon you, now not only seeing you as a beautiful girl, but as a selfless, outpouring fountain of positivity that believed in him ever since you had first laid your eyes on him.

With eyes that continued to look at your face with such dedication, you opened your own to question why Zenitsu had suddenly stopped the head scratch. But before you could mutter out a single word, you were taken aback by Zenitsu's suddenly calm state and radiating honey eyes. They were so sweet and shiny and filled to the brim with admiration. Cupping your cheeks slowly, you felt his warmth seep into your skin like water. "You're so gorgeous, (Y/N)chan. I really do mean that." Zenitsu spoke calmly while his thumbs began to rub your cheeks with care.

Your mind was suddenly doing flips as you had never seen Zenitsu so confident with you before, especially when giving you such a compliment. He looked and acted more charming and casual and confident with his small actions and words now. And as you continued to look up at those bright honey eyes of his, you felt your heart beginning to beat faster; it was if an alarm had suddenly went off in your chest, and this was something that Zenitsu heard loud and clear. With his smile growing and looking sweeter than before, "(Y/N)chan, I really do love it when you're there to give me your words of kindness." You felt your lips become more agape and your eyes widen. "I really can't believe that I met someone as kind and gorgeous as you." Your cheeks quickly began to light themselves on fire as you felt like you were being suffocated by his love. "You're stunning, (Y/N)chan. I would love to ha-" 

You had suddenly shot yourself up out of embarrassment and knocked your head into his face with intense power. Panting heavily now, you looked back at Zenitsu who was currently knocked out with a bloodied nose, "Oh shit!" You whisper-screamed as you covered your mouth. Knowing that this was your fault, you quickly placed the male onto your back and made a bee-line to where his futon was while your face was a bright red, just like the first time Zenitsu had asked to hang out with you.

And even though you merely did it out of embarrassment, you also had a feeling that what he was going to say was definitely going to get your emotions riled up. 

Once placing the male down and getting him cleaned up and setting him in his futon, you looked at him one more time as you bit your bottom lip. Looking around to see if you were in the clear, you dashed over to the side of the boy and brought his body up to quickly hug him while quietly speaking, "I'm really sorry for hurting you, Zenitsu. Please forgive me when you wake up." 

Placing him back down and leaving the room, you gave one last look before sighing with guilt and exiting; hoping that when he woke up he wouldn't come rushing to you about why you had smashed his face in.
