2nd Person POV

A warmth fluttered by your side, and you grumbled, finally opening your eyes only to see fire.

You scream and use your airbending to push whatever was there away, succeeding as you heard a heavy thump and a groan.
"Don't hurt me!"

You looked towards the person, seeing a young boy and girl around your age now sitting up in the snow, rubbing their heads.

He had dark maroon hair, with a very noticeable scar on his forehead, kind dark red eyes, and a distinctive green and black checkered haori, paired with two hanafuda earrings.

The girl seemed a little smaller, her long, dark hair tied up as she wore a pink kimono, a dark maroon haori on top.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! A-Are you two alright? Did you hit your heads?"
You offer to help them up, hoping they weren't hurt, surprised at the sudden burst of energy.

"I-I'm fine, don't worry... Who are you?"
The boy grumbled.

"Y/N L/N. Again, I'm so sorry for throwing you down! You startled me."
He stands up again, wiping the snow off of himself and the girl, smiling sweetly at you, anxiety in the pit of your stomach.

"That's alright, I didn't mean to frighten you. I'm Tanjiro Kamado, and this is my sister Nezuko. It's nice to meet you!"
He shakes your hand, shuddering from the icyness of your palms.

"How long have you been out here?"
The girl asks, lighting up another fire in the palm of her hand to illuminate the night.
She seemed most worried, her brows furrowed.

Before you even answer, Tanjiro uses his hand to brush the snow off your shoulders before putting his haori over you.

"I'm not sure... I fell asleep..."
Hesitant, you huddle in his warm haori, thankful.

"I-In the snow?!"
Nezuko seemed scared, grabbing your hands to warm them up, the heat that emanated from them making you shudder.

You awkwardly nod, but feel no ill intent from them. Maybe they just wanted to help.

"Do you know somewhere I could rest for a while? Or how far the nearest town is?"

"You could stay at my house. Not that there isn't anywhere else to stay! My mom's just making a big dinner tonight and I thought maybe you were hungry from sitting in the cold for so long and-"
Tanjiro rambles on, earning a soft giggle from you.

"If it's alright with your parents, I wouldn't mind. I don't wanna be a bother."

"It certainly beats the cold! C'mon."
Nezuko's hand ingnites again to illuminate the path, and you grab your staff before joining them.

"Wait, won't you be cold?"
You ask, referring to the haori he lent you.

"Don't worry, you probably need it more than me right now."
He gently holds your hand and starts walking with you, his warm skin easing the stinging cold.
