You looked across the table where Tanjiro sat, he was eating like he hadn't eaten in weeks.
"So...how long have you and your sister been running away from these 'demons'?", you asked curiously.
He looked up towards you and smiled," for about two months now", he stated whilst eating.
"What! Two months!", you exclaimed in shock,"and what were you surviving on?!".
"There's this really nice old lady who gives us food everyday so we were able to get by", he explained with the same content smile.

Poor kid.

"Are you sure you don't need any help?", you asked,"I mean I can tell the others about-"
"No!", he quickly slammed his hands on the table.

Silence.

His face turned red,"I-I'm sorry I just got a bit agitated", he apologised and became embarrassed.
"Eh, it's ok", you replied with a grin," at least you and Nezuko have a place to stay for now".

"Thank you", he replied and bowed down, you became flustered and tried to stop him.
"I-it's ok really, I'm just doing my job!".
You shook his head," no, you have a kind heart", he stated.
You tilted your head a bit," eh? Kind? Me?"

"Yes! I can smell it!", he replied.

Is this some metaphor kind of thing?

"I'm being serious!", Tanjiro looked at you sternly.
You chuckled," ok then if you say so".
You turned your head to the living room where Nezuko was resting," hey, is your sister fine? She's been sleeping for a long time".
Tanjiro nodded," she usually rests for a long period of time to regain her energy after a fight", he explained and sighed," I just hope that she'll wake up soon".
"Fight?! Her?! B-but she's just a kid!", you widened your eyes," how can a cute little girl like her be getting into fights!"
"W-well she actually has to fight against demons...same as me", he explained," but the only difference is that she is a demon herself, and so to regain her energy she needs to rest...it's an alternative to eating humans".

You stopped moving,"e-eating h-humans? What?".
"Demons eat humans to gain power and energy so they can get stronger", Tanjiro said," But Nezuko doesn't eat humans, so you don't have to worry!"
You looked at him suspiciously.
He gulped,"I-I'm being serious, I-I promise!!".
You laughed out loud and he gave a confused face.
"You're so funny Tanjiro, making all these cute stories up!", you ruffled his hair and he became a bit flustered.
"No! I'm being serious I might just be 15 but I'm telling the truth and all these things aren't made up!", he exclaimed which made you a bit shocked.

He seems sincere.

"Well, until I witness a demon myself then I'll believe you", you stated," until then I don't believe you".
He pouted," but y/n, you will keep Nezuko safe right?"
You nodded your head," of course".
He smiled with glee," thank you y/n!"

You both heard the front door open and close,"y/n! I've got some things for the two kids!", Gyomei exclaimed.
"That was fast", you stated helping him carry the shopping bags.
"Well you can always count on your brother", he smiled.
"Yeah, I guess so"
"Y-y/n- oh hello sir!", Tanjiro bowed down nervously.
Gyomei chuckled," just call me Gyomei", he said," also here are some things I bought for you and your sister", he added.
Tanjiro widened his eyes and smiled," t-thank you!".
Gyomei rubbed the back of his head," no need to thank me, it's what anyone would do if two homeless kids needed help".
Tanjiro stared at Gyomei with intensity.
"U-umm Tanjiro are you ok?", you asked.

"Pure...", Tanjiro stated quietly.

"What?", you asked.

"Your heart...is so pure", Tanjiro added.

Gyomei looked dumbfounded at him," is he alright?", he asked you, you shrugged.

Quickly, Tanjiro snapped out of the daze and apologised," sorry, I just tend to zone out sometimes".
"It's alright", you replied," anyways, you say sorry a bit too many to times"
"Sorr- I mean umm!"
You chuckled and gave a smile," you're so cute Tanjiro!"
He blushed, very hard.
You teased him even more," you're even cuter when you blush!".
He didn't say anything back, he just sat there blushing like the little pure boy he is.
"I'm kidding!", you stated and gently hit his arm.
"Anyways, you should get some rest it's already quite late".
He nodded," goodnight y/n".
"Goodnight Tanjiro".

"Y/n", you turned around and saw Gyomei.
"Mmm?"
"That kid umm Tanjiro?"
"Yep, that's his name"
He thought for a moment," you know when he zoned out and started to act a bit out of place".
"Yes?"
"Well, I think he might be different", Gyomei stated.
"Different? What do you mean by different?".
"He might be related to the deadly sins".
"You're joking right Gyomei?", you asked whilst nervously laughing.
"No y/n...I'm not, I felt his aura change for that moment".

You were worried, your brother always had this natural instinct when he was younger, that he could tell by the person's aura he felt whether they were good or bad.

"Is his good?"
Gyomei nodded.
You breathed out in relief," you almost gave me a heart attack there..."

"But, it seems as though he is somehow related to them", he stated," I can feel their aura in him as well".
You gulped.

"Be wary around him y/n".
"Y-yeah...I'll be"
