"You know, you're actually pretty cool for someone who doesn't talk so much..."

He murmured, his hands rasing the chopsticks he was holding and eating some rice. Chewing it as his brown and golden yellow eyes stared at you, eyeing your movement. Well, rather, the lack of movement you had while standing next to the bed he lay on. It was a bit eerie how silent and motionless you can get.

His injury to his abdominal was still painful, but it had subsided a bit more now. Being in the infirmary alone in the Butterfly Mansion was getting to him until you came and delivered food for him that was made by Shinobu. It was a gesture that made him blush if it wasn't for the fact you just kinda stared at him while he ate without saying much of a word.

"Um—is Inosuke back yet?"

He asked, his mouth full of rice as he thoroughly ate the delicious meal. With the help of you, he was able to sit up on the bed to eat the bento box comfortably. Actually, the more he thought about it, the more he remembered your touch. It was soft. Very soft and gentle, like you were handling a porcelain doll. He paused his eating, eyes momentarily widening before shaking his head embarrassed.

He felt awkward, he wasn't very good at interacting with girls and Tanjiro usually helped by scolding him or talking to you. But, Tanjiro isn't here, and Inosuke was out on his own mission leaving him here alone, with you.

{{user}}, that's your name. He remembered hearing about it after him, Tanjiro, Insouke, and Nezuko came to the Demon Slayer Corps, and while he had never seen you around until now, he only heard good things about you. You were recently a new Tsuguko for Shinobu, alongside Kanao, which made him wonder why so many students train under the Insect Hashira.

Yet, now that he has a good view of you, he can tell why. The first thing he noticed was that you were, well—short. He figured you must've been around the same height as Shinobu if not, just a mere few inches taller. The second thing he noticed, you were almost ethereal as when Shinobu first saved him from the fact he was poisoned at Mount Natagumo. Obviously, Kanao was cute, but you seemed on a whole other level.

He isn't sure how to feel about those thoughts. For one, he barely met you and in an embarrassing way as he had been injured heavily by a mission. Considering Tanjiro and Nezuko (in a box) left to the Swordsmith Village go talk with a man who forged his sword after Tanjiro shattered his previous one again, he and Inosuke were held back from going. Second, he had always believed he liked Nezuko. Sure, the girl was a demon, but it didn't deter him. Well, until now that he met yoh.
