All through PE and homeroom, all you could think about was the gentle red eyes of that boy, Tanjirou. His eyes were such a striking color, yet so relaxing, like Sabito's. Although completely different people, they seemed to give off a similar aura of mystery

When it was finally time to go to literacy class, you were already beat. All this running and thinking, and you've barely had time to go to your locker.

"Hey (Y/n)!!"

an unfamiliar voice? Why does he know your name?

You turn, jumping back in shock when you come face to face with an orange-haired boy. It wasn't the same kind of orange you saw in Sabito's hair, but it was more of bright orange and yellow combination. You look down and catch a glimpse of the clipboard he's clutching in one hand.

"Do I know you?" you raise an eyebrow at the boy

"You should." He huffs "I'm Zenitsu! I've been tasked with checking for dress code violations. You're my very first target."

Oh boy...

You cross your arms over your chest "Oh yeah? What's wrong with my outfit then?"

You were bluffing. You know exactly what's wrong with it.

He looks you up and down, squinting. Then, he checks something off on his clipboard.

"Hello?-" He cuts you off "Your skirt is way above your fingertips, your shirt is unbuttoned, and you aren't even wearing the proper uniform for your grade! Tsk tsk, you've been attending this school longer than me, you must know how the rules go."

"WELL-" You inhale sharply "You still haven't told me how you know who I am. For all I know this could be some lame prank orchestrated by Sabito or something."

Zenitsu tilts his head at you "You know Sabito personally? Then it really is you! Wow, I've heard a lot of rumors about you."

Your heart skipped a beat

"You did? Like what?"

"Oh, well--" Zenitsu was cut off by the sound of the bell ringing, marking the end of passing period

DAMN IT!

"hmm" Zenitsu smiles softly at you "We'll discuss this later. Good luck"

you watch him walk away so intently that you don't even notice Sabito walking up behind you.

You feel his finger poke you at your waist and you jump, whirling around

"wOoOo! I really am like a ghost aren't I?" Sabito joked

"very funny." You mused "Looks like we have at least one class together! Staff can't keep us apart forever."

"Three, actually!" He nodded "I also have science and art with you. Whoever made these schedules is really slacking off this time"

You both laugh as you enter the classroom


Although the seating chart placed you and Genya right next to eachother, he thankfully decided not to show up that day, allowing you to focus all your attention on Sabito who sat diagonally ahead of you.

When the teacher was finished talking and handing out books, you felt a ball of crumpled-up paper fall into your free hand.

You unrolled the paper ball and read the note

"Put your boobs away. I can see it from here - Sabito"

You snicker and write back to him

"You're in front of me! How can you possibly see that without intentionally looking? Kinda suspicious. - You"

He wrote back to you nearly immediately after receiving the note

"I have eyez on the back of my head. Trust me. - Sabito"

Instead of writing a response, you drew a picture of a dog with big watery eyes. You didn't know why, but it was making you laugh

This time when Sabito receives the note back, he looks back at you and stifles a laugh

"What the heck? You're so weird." he whispers

"Charming, isn't it?" You whisper back, giggling

"If that's what you wanna call it" He raises an eyebrow

Rudeeeee. Whatever, I'll just get back to work now

Turning your attention away from Sabito, you open the textbook in front of you and start taking notes. Interestingly enough, though, you catch a glimpse of Sabito's hand sliding the note into his pocket from the corner of your eye.

Maybe he liked your drawing after all.


After science class, which seemed to be over just as quickly as it started, you and Sabito intercepted Makomo in the hallway and all gathered around a big tree outside on the edge of campus, away from all the other kids.

"Dude, Makomo, you should've SEEN the look on Mr. Iguro's face when Ozaki mispronounced 'oragnism'!! It was PRICELESS." Sabito cackled

"Oh, YEAH YEAH! AND HE WAS ALL LIKE--" You inhaled, preparing yourself for your best Obanai impression "I will nawt to tolerating any of your grade skeeewl jokes! Stop laughing, all of you! There is nuthin funny about it!"

The three of you wheezed, barely able to contain yourselves

"Oh mannn, I wish I was there! Why must they separate us all!" Makomo cries in mock despair, arching her fingers dramatically

"That's what I'm sayinnnng! They hate us 'cause we're the funniest people in the school." Sabito smiles "and the most good looking, of course. Except (y/n)."

"HEY!" You throw a lettuce leaf from your lunch at his face "You jerk, you called me cute this morning. What changed huh?!"

"OHMYGOD" Makomo covers her mouth in shock, giggling

"CHILL. I didn't mean it like that" Sabito rolls his eyes, scratching the back of his head "Obviously you're not ugly...I like to joke around is all."

You chuckle until you feel your stomach rumbling

"Ah! I gotta go to the bathroom guys. I'll be right back" You say, standing up quickly

"Want me to come with you?" Makomo asks, tilting her head

You laugh and shake your head "No, that's okay. It'll only be a short trip, I promise."

Sabito and Makomo watch as you speed walk off towards the nearest bathroom.


Jeez, why do I feel my stomach churn when Sabito talks about me? I can't tell if I'm fearful or excited.

As you're walking through the halls, you look up from your shoes to make eye contact with the red-haired boy from before.

Tanji-Tanjirou? I think that's his name right?

You stop, standing in front of him with an awkward smile, but he won't look away.

"Heyyyy...Kamado right?" You raise your eyebrows at him

"Uh-uhm..." He stumbles over his words

He's not brooding! He's shy!! It makes so much sense now

"Tanjirou Kamado, yes" Tanjirou nods

"Nice to meet you Tanjirou-san" You smile softly at him, relaxing "I'm (y/n) (l/n). Just call me (y/n), or whatever you want. I'm a lot more easygoing than people make me out to be"

His uniform looks so neat and brand new, and his hair looks so soft...I guess he's pretty cute, like a little kitten or something

You giggle to yourself at the thought

"What're you doing standing around in the halls? Haven't been noticed by any cute girls yet?~" You teased

"Ah, well" He looks off to the side "No. Not until now, that is."

WHA-

"Me?" you blinked at him, taken aback. You didn't expect that sort of forwardness to come out of nowhere

"Well, I'm uh-I was on my way to the bathroom just now but if you want you can come meet my friends by the tree! Yknow, the big one at the edge of campus. Can't miss it."

Tanjirou looks down at you again "It's okay."

HUH!?

You flinch "Oh...okay. Well um, I guess if you change your mind...yeah. Oh god, I'm sorry."

You walk off with your head down, your face burning with embarrassment.

I'd better just stick to talking to Sabito and Makomo! That never fails.
