{{ I've had this in my drafts for so long😭 just a little over 500 words for this short story!}}

"|Y-n| channnn~" Zenitsu called out, trailing behind you, begging for your attention. You'd been trying to ignore the lesser of your escorts for the entire trip at this point, the poor boy desperately trying to get you to even look his way. "Please hear me out- marry me and I'll treat you right! You're so pretty, you deserve to be married to someone who'll treat you right, not some inconsiderate old guy!"

You just kept your eyes pointed downward, trying to make sure your skirt didn't get dirty from the grass and dirt roads. The boys partner, Tanjiro, was more level headed, walking slightly ahead and to the side of you. He was getting more fed up than you were at this point, and you would only smile as he snapped.

"Zenitsu- can you be quiet! There's no need to be so loud when we're on a mission." He let out, turning his head for a moment to shoot a stern look at the yellow haired simp behind you guys. You were surprised at how controlled his anger was, assuming he would've at least raised his voice by now. You let out a small huff of laughter, which caught Zenitsu's attention.

"Sh-she laughed! Tanjiro, scold me again, I want to hear her tantalizing voice against my ears!" He walked up and grabbed Tanjiro's shoulders, lightly shaking them to get a response out of the boy. He only pushed Zenitsu off, getting further annoyed by his actions and words. They started to scuffle a bit, resulting in Zenitsu being pushed onto his knees somewhere ahead of you. You stopped in your tracks, looking down at him and into his eyes for the first time. He was basically drooling from this perspective.

"Zenitsu! Get up and out of her way- you're acting so immature-" you held your hand up to shush the boy, continuing to look down at Zenitsu for a few more seconds. You then cracked a smile, laughing gently to yourself.

"It's okay. Now that I'm looking at him, he's cute." You said, watching as the boys cheeks lit up into a bright red color. You smirked in amusement. "You two can switch places for the rest of the trip, I want This one next to me for this escort." You pointed at Zenitsu, looking at Tanjiro for approval. Although your class allowed you to do with these boys what you wanted, you wouldn't go against the boys wishes if he thought you'd be put in danger by this decision.

"Wh.... Okay. If that's what you really want." Tanjiro seemed defeated, but relieved that you weren't angry at the both of them for their actions that evening. You then looked back to Zenitsu, who was still blushing with a shocked expression on his face. You tilted your head, watching him stand with his head down.

"She called me..." he muttered, his fists clenching at his sides. "She called me Cute!" He let out, running a few circles around the two of you. He was celebrating and cheering, jumping around with as much excitement as a child on Christmas.

He really was cute.
