Work Text:
Muichiro was walking alone through the halls of the highschool department of the academy to see Tanjiro, who had asked him earlier if he'd want to hang out with him with a friend. There were students in the hall chatting and laughing as he walked past. His eyes were glued to his feet, he was stuck in his own world until,
"Tokito-kun!" A familiar voice called out, Muichiro immediately snapped out of his thoughts and turned to the source of the voice. Red slicked back hair, a scar on his head, red eyes that were just like his father's and a warm smile. Tanjiro.
"Tokito-kun!" Tanjiro called out once more, waving as he made his way towards Muichiro.
"Ah, Tanjiro." Muichiro said, looking up at the male.
"Tokito-kun, so glad you could make it!" Tanjiro thanked him, his hands reaching out to hold Muichiro's hand. Muichiro just nodded, slightly gripping onto tanjiro's hand. A small smile forming on his lips.
"It's nothing, where are we even heading out to anyway?" Muichiro asked with a raised eyebrow. His head slightly tilting to the side(it's a habit). Tanjiro's smile faltered and he looked confused,
"Eh? Did I not tell you?" Tanjiro asked, before quickly apologising.
"Ah! Sorry! I got too excited for the trip I forgot to tell you where we were even going!" Tanjiro apologised, putting his head down in a bow. Muichiro just patted him on the head.
"It's fine, don't worry.." Muichiro muttered, trying to reassure the redheaded male. Tanjiro raised his head, frowning. Which only made Muichiro feel guilty to see the usually cheerful Tanjiro Kamado upset over such a small thing. He opened his mouth to reassure Tanjiro once more until a shadow cast over them. The source of the shadow caught Tanjiro's attention and the redhead immediately smiled once again.
"Genya! Are you ready?" Genya?..
"Yeah, let's go" Muichiro turned around to this, "Genya", and his eyes widened as he soaked up the view. Beautiful purple eyes. Long eyelashes. Soft lips that contrasted the sharp teeth that was hiding behind them. A scar stretching from his right side of his face all the way to the bridge of his nose. Pale skin. A long black mohawk that definitely went against the academy's dress codes. The muscles that accentuated his figure. The scars that were scattered throughout his body tell a story of suffering, struggling, fighting and surviving. A story that words could never tell. The beauty. The beauty that was Genya. Genya Shinazugawa. Muichiro's breath was taken away and he continued staring up at the tall male who was practically looming over him. He felt like he was made of glass. As if he was see-through. As if Genya Shinazugawa could see right through him. Everything went silent and the only thing he could hear was his heart that was pounding in his chest.
"Tokito-kun? Tokito-kun!" Muichiro snapped out of it and his gaze immediately dropped down to his feet. His face flushed and his palms started to become sweaty. He could feel both Tanjiro's and Genya's concerned gazes on him.
"You okay?" Genya Shinazugawa's voice. Somewhat deep and raspy but attractive in general. He quickly spoke up
"Sorry- I just remembered that I have homework and it's probably better if I don't get sidetracked from my studies." Muichiro quickly said, his hands fidgeting anxiously. A habit he had built up when he gets too embarrassed and flustered. The sight of muichiro's hands fidgeting worried Tanjiro. Muichiro continued to look down at his feet. Avoiding their gazes.
"But Tokito-kun you're already getting straight A's?-"
"See you tomorrow, Tanjiro." Muichiro left with a speedy goodbye, speed walking out of there. Leaving the two confused.
