The orange gold stretches far and wide, the colour of fire hearths and tangerines. It is but the reflection of the dawn, the promise of the rising sun that comes after the velvety night has had its say and the land has rested once more. With the setting sun came a sky of fire, the orange of every wintry hearth. It was the battle cry to the gathering night, that the only achievement of darkness is to show starlight all the more clearly.

Tanjirou watched the sunset at the horizon, spreading its largess into a grateful sky. Rich hues of red blended with oranges, purples, crimsons. It was like his spirit soared at the sight as he was transported into a timeless existence, ready for the protective blanket of night and new dreams. It was a calm and quiet as the sun slowly sink into the earth, its light fading away to be replaced by the moon as stars began to appeared in the sky.

Under a sky of perfect midnight velvet, under stars so brilliant they drew the eyes heaven bound, the lyrics of starry starry night played softly in Tanjirou's mind. As the light twinkled and the unheard music played, his steps fell lightly over the rutted path.

Till it was ruined by a certain someone...

❝P-P-Protect me! (Name) please protect me!❞ the blonde boy screamed, skin pale as tears gathered in the corner of his eyes, running toward your form as you stood there in surprise when he immediately grabbed your arms, hiding behind your back.

Once again fear found him. It spoke to him in its cackling voice. It told his legs to go weak, his stomach to lurch and his heart to ache from pounding so hard due to the fear. He know that you once told him that there was nothing to fear but fear itself, but still he could not silence its voice as his body continued, trembling as you stared at him with wide eyes.

You couldn't understand why he was so scared of, following his gaze towards the bushes nearby as it's continued to rustle, whipping into the wind. You glanced at it then at him before going back to the bushes then back at him repeatedly before you finally connected the dots as your features soften, a kind smile on your face as you turn around to face the blonde boy who was still shaking in fear.

❝Zenitsu, there is nothing to be scared of-❞

The sound of the leaves hitting each other, creating a gentle swinging of the leaves as he finally screamed his heart out ❝It's c-c-c-coming out! Someone please-❞

A little creature jumped out of the bushes, revealing itself to the world as you stared at it ❝It's just a little frog...❞

You began patting his back in comfort, knowing how he could easily faint even during your mission and you do not want to be the one who carries him because you know the boar masked boy isn't going to help you and you also don't want to be much of a burden to the burgundy haired male.

In other words, you've been giving more attention to the thunder breath user that you completely forgot about a certain someone in the dust ❝Hey, Zenitsu... Once we're done with this mission, how about I treated you for something? Of course you get to choose what you want❞

❝R-Really?❞ His eyes wide open bore the innocence of a child within those golden orbs of his. You nodded, smiling while patting his head ❝Yeah!❞

While you were busy with the blonde male,  deep into the dark woods, you could hear the cold breeze screaming in your ears. You saw the leaves and trees dancing side to side and smelled the fresh air that passed your way. It was so dark that light from the moon is almost visible to lighten up the area.

❝I'll go on ahead❞ The boar masked boy stated, grabbing the handle of his swords a stream coming out of his boar mask with a red vein popping on his boar mask's forehead, clearly irritated by the sight of you two ❝Hey, Monjirou you coming?❞

The night, as they scampered through the slender trees, stumbling over roots, cool spring ground underfoot, charcoal clouds chased them from above. Silence was all he could heard from the male as he turned to face the burgundy haired male who held a forlorn expression through his dark red eyes.

Slowly, Inosuke dropped his hands to the sides ❝Monjirou... You...❞

Deciding to not say a word as he stomped his way towards the blonde male, grabbing the back of his collar which cause him to almost choke as he screamed ❝The great Inosuke-sama and his minion 1, Chuuitsu are going ahead!❞

❝Chuuitsu?! What are you saying?!❞

❝Shut up, Banana Head!❞

❝B-Banana?!❞

Before you could process what was going on, two of your teammates immediately ran off into the forest, leaving a trail of dust behind them as you watched them from a far as they continue to argue with each other while the boar masked was still dragging him away, out of reach for you to grabbed them.

❝Hey, Tanjirou. Should we follow them-❞

❝I'm sorry!❞

The moment you turned around, the burgundy haired male was bowing down to you as you stood there, surprised by his action in front of you ❝For what...?❞

When he finally look up, you felt like you were looking at a lost puppy as his eyes look so forlorn yet a sense of guilt were showing through those dark red orbs of his.

Catching him off guard as you wrapped your arms around him ❝Geez... You could had told me that you were jealous of Zenitsu❞

❝Sorry...❞ He laughed nervously.

As you stayed within each other's arms before you came to realized something important ❝Oh my god, Zenitsu and Inosuke. We need to go after them!!❞

And with that, you both ran together while his large held yours as he lead you through the forest like the gentleman he was.
