Genya was your best friend. You two knew eachother since you were kids, and once his parents died, you were the one understanding him the best, since you were born with no parents.
When he was a child, he'd often chase boys that flirted with his best friend. That was no wonder. You were short, had an adorable face, a cute smile, a sweet laugh. Even your crying was adorable, too cute for Genya to handle. He'd often get nervous around you, but tried not to show it, knowing it would maybe ruin your friendship. Not did he know, you felt the same for him. The same love.

You and Genya both became Demon Slayers as you grew up, training, killing demons and spending more time together. He loved the time he got to spend with you. Seeing your cute smile..he would do anything to see it again.
While you two were talking, as the subject came to your type, Genya looked down blushing and embarrassed. How could he tell you he liked you without making it obvious.
Well..I like..kind girls.
He answered. That was what broke your heart. You were insecure, more than he was, for being born with strength, stronger than the average female body. So you thought, there was no chance he'd be in love with you. Even when he was. As you asked him if there were more things, he only got more embarrassed. Damnit. How could be.. describe you without telling it's you?
I like the ones..that are cute, y'know? Those..that have an adorable smile and a sweet laugh.
He said looking down embarrassed, yet having a small smile at that thought.
And..short girls..I can easily pick up..or with soft cheeks I can squeeze..
His words only made it worse for you. Cute? Adorable? You never thought of that on yourself. You rather saw yourself as..an ugly person. Yet, he was too lost in thoughts about you to notice your sad look, but you hid it behind a smile. He was too tall. About 6'3 while you were about 5'4. He has a scar on his face and was very stronger than you were. There was no chance you'd love him..or so he thought.
