Day 15

Tanjiro's pov

I was sitting at my desk, listening to my classmates brag about Muichiro's "disappearance" once again. I was usually ignoring every word they said and just laughed at their comments but then I heard something that stunned me.

"I am so fucking happy he's gone, I bet he's dead"

I looked to my right to see the person who said that sentence. Genya. Muichiro's bully and all around a horrible fucking person.

I clenched my fists as I continued to listen to his horrible comments "that femboy lookin' ass is probably dead, why are people still looking for him? Who even reported him missing? His parents couldn't care less about him!" He laughed together with a couple of his friends.

I couldn't handle it, I felt like I was gonna stand up any second and just beat the shit out of him but I held back, knowing that if I get in such trouble again I'll get expelled so I just planned something else.. something that will make him regret everything he did to Mui..

…

"Genya! Are you coming with us or not?" One of Genya's called out for him as he was getting his stuff from his gym locker "fuck off! I am eating taco bell ever again, I am going home" he responded and took off his PE shirt.

"If you say so, you're missing out though" he said and walked away, leaving Genya alone in the gym room.. with me. I was hiding there the whole time, waiting for him to be alone.

He reached out to grab his water bottle and took a small sip before I took my first move, running behind him and pulling his hair while holding a knife to his neck.

I heard chuckle, he grabbed my wrists and twisted them, making me yelp in pain. He turned around and slammed me on the ground, making me drop the knife. "Never thought that I'd have to stop someone from killing me" he chuckled again and grabbed me by my hair, lifting me up "you gotta work out more if you want to beat me.. come on, why are you smiling like that? You l-"

Before he could finish the sentence, I took my second knife out of my pocket and dug it right into his hip, making him let go of me.

"Always carrying two around" I mumbled and moved closer to him as he kept backing away, holding his side in pain. "What the fuck do you want from me" he said, already breathing heavily from the pain caused by the stab.

"You know, you've been treating someone particularly badly and I don't like that.. I want you to pay for it" I said and grabbed his chin.

He frowned "what the fuck are you talking about?! Stop playing games and tell me already!!" He yelled out.

"Awh come on, you know who I am talking about, the person you're been bullying since he went to this school.. the person who.. maybe disappeared a couple days ago? Is that enough of a hint for your little brain?"

Genya's eyes widened "ohh, Muichiro. But come on, how can I not bully him? He's such an easy target. That twink is probably used to it from his p-"

"Quiet!!" I yelled out and kicked onto the floor. He backed away against the lockers, trying to say something but before he could, I kicked him onto again, his head hitting the locker, making him lose consciousness.

Muichiro's pov

I was saying on my matrace, happily reading a manga I found while hugging my teddy bear. Suddenly I heard the door to the basement open, soon a body came crashing down the stairs.

"Don't worry about him yet, he's not conscious" Tanjiro said and walked down the stairs with a chair and duct tape. Once I took a closer look at the body I realized "is that Genya..?" I asked quietly and Tanjiro nodded.

"Why is he here..? Is he okay?? He's bleeding!" I yelled out in worry and tried to get closer but stopped the second Tanjiro looked at me "don't"

He laid down the chair and sat Genya in it, duct taping his body to it. I just sat there, watching him do so before asking again "why is he here..?"

Tanjiro walked over to me and sat down on the matrace, saying "no need to be scared, love. He won't hurt you anymore" he said and pressed his lips against mine.

I didn't know what to do, he'd definitely be mad if I pulled away but I didn't want this, I didn't want to kiss him. If I want to get out of here, I need to act like I love him, I need to make him know that I trust him.

I returned the kiss and laid my hand down on his hand. He deepened the kiss and moved his hand towards my inner thigh. I was starting to panic, what if he'll do something more?? I don't want to do this!

I felt his hand slowly starting to take my shorts off but then suddenly we heard a groan coming from Genya. Tanjiro pulled away and kisses my forehead "don't worry, we'll have fun later"

My eyes widened but I nodded my head slowly,not wanting it to seem like I was just pretending to like this.

Tanjiro walked over to Genya and grabbed his chin "look who's finally awake" he chuckled and Genya shot awake, immediately looking around for yr basement and spotting me in the corner "so you are alive!" He yelled out.

"Don't talk to him" Tanjiro said and walked over to a small box he brought here, taking out a knife from it. My eyes widened as I ran towards Tanjiro, trying to take it away from him but he his me with his elbow so hard my nose started bleeding.

"Stay back, love" he said and moved closer to Genya who was holding back his laugher. "Love?! Are you fucking setous?! Don't tell me that you're a fag too!"

I saw Tanjiro clench his fists, knowing that this won't be pretty to watch. As Genya kept saying hurtful stuff one and over again, Tanjiro just grabbed his neck and slammed the knife in.

My voice hitched as I covered my mouth, watching the blood pour out uncontrollably. Soon he made his was towards his stomach, stabbing into it over and over again even though Genya was clearly already dead.

I felt my breathing get raged, my knees felt weak and I couldn't help but feel nauseous from what I just witnessed.

When Tanjiro was done, he turned towards me, dropping the knife and placing his blood covered hands on my facial cheeks "he won't hurt you anymore.. N-No need to be scared!" He said with his eyes wide open.

I couldn't hold it back anymore, I just began to sob and scream, not knowing how to handle any of this. Why did he kill him?! Why did he show me like this?! Why was he smiling while doing it?!

"Come on, love, shhhh" he says soothingly, caressing my hair slowly.

"Wh-Why.." I mumbled in between sobs. He smiled and said "he hurt you, he deserved this.. now come on, I'll prepare a warm bath for you" he said and took my hand, leading me out of the basement slowly.

…

After Tanjiro cleaned up the basement, he helped me lay down on my matrace and pulled a blanket over me, kissing my forehead. "Remember Mui, it was for you, I don't want anyone to hurt you, okay?"

I nodded slightly "thank you.." I said, wanting to sound grateful for what he did but it was hard, I couldn't get it out of my head, it was repeating over and over again and I didn't know how to make it stop.

"Of course, love, now rest" he said and wrapped his arms around me and slowly caressed my hair, saying "I love you"

"...I love you too.." I mumbled quietly and he pulled me into another kiss which I pulled away from not too long after "I am tired.. sorry"

"It's okay, we have plenty of time tomorrow" he chuckled and grabbed by facial cheek playfully.

I nodded in response and left the basement not too long after. The second he left, I began to sob again, I couldn't get thr imagine out of my head, I felt absolutely horrible.

I hugged my teddy bear and sobbed into him quietly, I was holding it back so hard because I knew he would hurt me or yell at me to stop.

I just pulled my blanket over my head and continued to sob until I eventually fell asleep.
