You and Mitsuri had been friends for as long as you could remember. You both were hashiras in the demon slayer corps.

Without realizing at first, you had become more protective towards Mitsuri. Being worried for her whenever she had a new mission. Feeling immense relief whenever she would return unscathed. You even helped patch her up each time she was hurt.

Now, you still couldn’t fully accept these feelings. I mean, any normal friend feels this way, right? (Spoiler alert, no.) It got even worse once Mitsuri developed feelings for Obanai, another hashira. Whenever she even brought up Obanai you were put into a sour mood.

Mitsuri rambled on about Obanai to you while she ate her Sakura mochis. How she liked his hair, what kind of fighting he did, and more. All the while, you felt yourself grow more and more jealous. But why? She wasn’t your girlfriend.

She liked a boy, and you weren’t a boy.
