Omfg I kid you not I was going to meet a new dealer this morning on the outskirts of my city. I tapped on the persons shoulder and it was my TEACHER.

I ASKED MY FUCKING TEACHER FOR DRUGS

{third POV}

Akaza sat outside the butterfly mansion watching. Watching each and every movement of Tanjiro. He watched him drink with Uzui and his wives, he watched him fall asleep with Sanemi and Genya.

He even watched Tanjiro when he ate, finished his medicine, training etc...

He knew absolutely everything about Tanjiro. His personality, likes and dislikes. What time he usually went to bed and he even acknowledged Tanjiro's many admirers and his particularly closest ones.

He took note of when he went on missions and subtly stalked him there and back. He knew the particular days when Tanjiro decided to wear his hair up in a pony tail and when he left it down.

Akaza could predict his every gesture and speech.

Well you can probably imagine the rest...

But what irked him the most was the people in the butterfly mansion. He was unbelievably overridden with jealousy every time they touched the oblivious bean.

As a result, Akaza would ever so often show his face for a split second then disappear again once Tanjiro had saw him; making it seem as if it were in his mind and constantly making him on edge.

Because of this, Tanjiro had been very jumpy and weary. This behaviour gave Akaza a sense on control over Tanjiro, he could make him scared, anxious, or sometimes even give him panic attacks.

In fact, as of right now; he was watching Tanjiro groggily walk down towards his room after waking up in the springs and excusing himself.

He was still wearing the white dress as he hadn't changed yet, his hangover had given him a throbbing headache so he wasn't really paying any mind to his surroundings.

{Mitsuri POV}

Humm I really feel like some more mochi... maybe I can bring some to Tanjiro's room and we can eat them together!

I haven't spent that much time for him so I'm sure he'd like to catch up!

He's just too cute, but the boys keep taking him away from me before I can even say hello... I'll just have to try a little harder then!

I smiled to myself and was about to knock on his door when someone cleared their throat next to me "oh hello Mitsuri, can I help you?" A soft voice asked, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I turned my head to see Tanjiro.

In a dress.

A dress.

"EEEEEE YOU LOOK SO CUTE! WHO GAVE IT TO YOU! What's it made out of?! Where did you get it?! Can I give you one of my dresses! I'm sure you would look amazing! Oh please please please!"

"M-Mitsuri-san calm down" Tanjiro hushed, making me close my mouth and let out a giggle "sorry sorry" I replied sheepishly, playing with the hem of my uniform.

"Tanjiro I brought you Mochi balls~" I sang, whipping them out and holding them temptingly in front of his face.

I watched his little nose sniff the food before his shoulders dropped in defeat "ok... come sit down"

He opened the door as I smiled victoriously and sat down on his bed, crossing my legs as I put the Mochi next to him.

"Sooo who dressed you up?" I asked, my face getting warmer as I watched him happily eat the food.

"Oh I was kinda forced into it by Uzui-san's wifes..." he nervously scratched the back of his neck while taking another bite.

Uzui's wives Huh?

Does that mean I can dress him up as well?

He does look so amazing, it hands so perfectly on his hips and compliments his hair and eyes as well.

I wonder if any of my dresses would look as good on him?

Uzui's wives always had such good style! Their so cool...

"Mitsuri?"

"Hm? Oh yeah sorry I zoned out" I chuckled, picking up my own Mochi ball and eating it in no time. I watched as he stared out blankly at his small window, as if scared something would appear.

How strange?

"Tanjiro are you ok?" I asked him, gently putting my hand on his cheek reassuringly. His head suddenly snapped towards me in a frightened manner; his body jerking back quickly.

I retracted my hand and shuffled closer to him "what's wrong? Did you see something?" I asked him, slightly worried.

Maybe he's just a little jumpy?

"Oh y-yeah sorry!" He replied hastily, although it was pretty easy to see through his statement; as Tanjiro's breathing rate started to quicken as he clasped his hands over his ears and curled in on himself.

Panicked, I quickly moved the food to the side and wrapped my arms around his figure; pushing his head into my chest as I gently rocked us back and forth until his rapid breathing slowed.

"Shhh Tanjiro, whatever it is can't hurt you" I whispered, stroking a hand through his amazingly silky hair as I pressed my nose into his head.

Hearing small sniffles, I pulled away a little to look at him.

"M-Mitsuri-san just make it stop, I see them everywhere. Every time I turn my head, I see their faces in the corner of my eye. T-their voices are constantly in the back of my head! It makes me so scared, I don't want it to happen again. P-plea-"

"Hey hey, who's them?"

Tanjiro shook his head abruptly, to which I smiled sympathetically and pulled him to a stand.

"Why don't we go on a walk to clear your head?" I asked, wiping a small tear from his rosy cheek and entertaining my fingers with his as we walked out of his room

"But Mitsuri what happe-"

Suddenly Tanjiro's words cut off and I no longer felt the presence of his hand upon mine.

But he was just here..?

I turned around to see no one.

Tanjiro simply vanished.

I'm so happy, I made the most homophobic guy in my class beg me on his hands and knees.
