Heat
Hot.
The weather was unbelievably hot today it was almost made Zenitsu wanted to scream out in frustration.
What the fuck is wrong with the weather?!
Yesterday it was still fine, albeit more humid but it was still better compared to this day. It was like someone purposely turned the switch only to make his life a living hell!
As if his life was not in one enough.
It was still morning but the boy already drenched from head to toe with sweat. And not small sweat either, but big, corn-like sweat that stuck the hair and clothes like a second skin... and it wasn't a nice feeling.
Zenitsu groaned while shifted around, trying to find a more comfortable floor to lie on, hoping he would find some that could cool him enough. Though his action only earned him more unpleasant heat.
"The fuck is wrong with the floor too?!" Zenitsu cursed out loud, annoyed beyond his belief as he got up and furiously fanning himself in infuriating manner.
This was starting to irritate him bordering to insanity and Zenitsu's brain cells moving rapidly to find something to do before he burst out and tear the whole mansion down, out of sheer frustration.
Taking a deep breath, Zenitsu willed himself to calm down as he flicked away another sweat running his forehead.
He considered using his breath of lightning to summon black clouds and made a whole damn rain, a heavy one at that, for a solution though dismissed it as soon as that idea came up because... well, Zenitsu seriously doubted his breath could do that and beside, he didn't have that much control over his breath yet to be able to execute something as energy-taxing as that. Moreover, it'd invite curious bystanders, if not, invoke some panic within the Demon Slayer Corp residence. They would falsely think it was an attack from enemy and bring him nothing but more trouble. Although, which sane demon would attack them when the sun's still up anyway?
Nonetheless, Zenitsu didn't want to be dragged for interrogation, nor did he want to get punished... especially in this hot and annoying weather.
Which left him to ponder over the next idea. A less energy-costing one that also much, much tempting to pass. Although it wasn't really good for the health at this moment, Zenitsu didn't give it much thought as he was already on his way to carry out his plan.
Grabbed a towel and slung it across his shoulder, Zenitsu made his merry way, almost skipping steps, and entering the designated place with delighted heart.
He was going to take a long, nice bath of cold water. And Zenitsu wouldn't let anything, or anyone in that matter, disturb him while doing that.
Not a damn chance.
Zenitsu quickly took off all of his clothes, threw them randomly at the side, and threw himself shamelessly inside the inner bathhouse...
Only to be greeted by Tanjirou's naked back.
Zenitsu froze and instantly his steps halted. His eyes unconsciously raked over the blatant display of smooth, albeit littered with scars, skin and down when Zenitsu snapped his stare up forcefully as he nearly saw... Zenitsu's face went red with embarrassment.
What the fuck is he doing here at this time?!
Tanjirou, sensing him, turned his head slightly and directly yellow eyes met ruby ones. The boy went rigid while Tanjirou's face brightened immediately.
"Ah, Zenitsu!" He greeted, hand still wiping his wet arm in slow motion with a towel. Zenitsu ignored the slight intake of breath from the other boy as he tried to will his eyes to stay straight ahead, if not higher. A tinge of blush adorned his cheeks.
The warm air suddenly skyrocketed it was almost unbearable.
He wanted to ask why the younger was here at this moment whereas he should be training with the Water Pillar by now, and even though he had a hunch why, he still couldn't help but ask. Why are you here?
"You are naked..." The words stumbled past his lips before Zenitsu could stop them and instantly his eyes went wide as saucers and covered his mouth, feeling horrified.
What the heck?? He wasn't meaning to say that!
Tanjirou blinked as Zenitsu stammered. "Wa-wait! That's not what I want to say oh my god!!" He sputtered as much, half-shrieked as hands came up to pull at his hair wildly and Zenitsu's face gone into that weird expression again.
Tanjirou looked at him in confusion. "Well, I'm indeed nake-" he was cut as Zenitsu went berserk and screaming his ears off as if he wanted to block him. Or more exactly, his words.
Tanjirou winced slightly at the high-pitched voice and he put his finger in front of his nose to shush him while his other hand flailing to calm down the crazed boy.
"Sssshhhht. Zenitsu! Be quiet! You are disturbing the other residents!" Tanjirou managed to whisper loud enough and urged Zenitsu to calm down, and while he did that he was coming to Zenitsu's side.
Buck naked.
Instead of calming down Zenitsu continued to shriek, his voice took even a note higher that it made Tanjirou closed his eyes and covered his ears as best as he could. Ouch, it might hurt the younger's eardrum but Zenitsu couldn't care less. Tanjirou needed to wear his damn clothes this instant if not...
In the spite of screaming Zenitsu opened his eyes he didn't remember closed them before and grabbed Tanjirou's shoulder hard. "You! You have to put on-" though his sentence didn't finish as Zenitsu finally (accidentally) took in Tanjirou's appearance.
So close. Fully naked. Creamy skin and flush to touch.
A burst of blood spurted from his nose as Zenitsu fell backward, fainted.
Tanjirou looked horrified. He certainly didn't expect that. "Zenitsu!"
How was his initial intention to get rid of the heat by having a good, cold bath turned out like this was beyond Zenitsu. Sure enough, it was one of the experiences he wouldn't able to forget for some while.
Zentan for life! ( ਊ )
