Tanjiro's pov - next day

"Where's Muichiro?" Mitsuri asked as I sat down at my seat. I shook my head "he's not coming today, from what I know Yuichiro saw the video and told their uncle and they all got into a big fight, after that Muichiro called me, he was crying a lot.."

"I see... how are you taking it all?" Mitsuri asked and I shrugged "well.. it's ehm... complicated, my family doesn't know yet and I don't know if I should even say something.." I responded quietly.

"Oh.. well you should maybe focus on your feelings too, I understand that Muichiro is your boyfriend and you really care about him but.. try focusing on yourself too, alright?"

I nodded "yeah... thanks... but you know, Muichiro is more fragile and can break down easily, this is not a good time for h-"

"And so is for you, you are on that video too" Misturi interrupted me "I know I know.." I signed.

"Just.. try to talk it out with him after school, I am sure he'll understand, he needs to understand that it's not only him on that video"

I nodded and took out my phone, seeing texts from Muichiro.

"How is it going in school? Are you okay?"

He texted, it made me smile a bit. "Yes yes, I am fine, how are you doing? How is it going with Yuichiro and your uncle?"

"My uncle he... he is really disappointed in me, he yelled at me a lot, saying things that I just turned sixteen and already fucking around.. and that what happened is just karma... with Yuichiro I got into a pretty big fight too"

"I see... well in school it's.. people are of course giving me stares and laugh at me but I guess it doesn't bother me that much, I manage to ignore it"

"Oh.. I see"

"Can I come over today after school? I need to talk to you about something"
"Oh of course, I'll see you later then"

"Teacher already came, I need to go, I'll call you when I'll be on my way to your house, bye now"

"Bye, love you"

"Love you too"

...

I walked from school to Muichiro's house. I was on a call with him, his mood seemed to worsen and he refused to tell me what's wrong.

I knocked on the door and waited for someone to open them. Muichiro soon did and let me in "just try to be quiet before we get to my room, alright? My uncle doesn't know you're coming"
I nodded and we both headed to his room. He closed the door behind us "what was it you wanted to say?" He asked and sat down next to me on the bed.

"Oh that.. it's about the video"
His eyes widened a bit before he looked down. "I don't want to talk about it..." he said quietly.

"No no it's just.. I feel like you are.. not caring about my feelings, I am in that video too you know, not just you"
"What are you talking about?"

"For the past months I didn't realize that... I am the only person in this relationship caring about the others feelings"

"Wait wait wait, what?! Tanjiro, I do care!"

"It doesn't seem like it, this whole time it was all about what you feel and what hurts your feelings and I am only a shoulder you can cry on, you are acting like it's only you in that video while I am there too!"

"T-That's not true.. I do care about your feelings it's just-"

"It's just a lot, that's what you say all the time and I just go with it and that's the problem, if Mitsuri didn't say anything about it I wouldn't have notice"

"I am sorry I didn't know I was n-"

"Of course you didn't because you only care about yourself, everyone says I am being selfish while you are the one who doesn't give a shit about me"

Muichiro after that stayed quiet.

"That's what I thought... I'll go now"
I said and quickly stood up. Muichiro didn't even try to stop me, he just sat there while I left.

Muichiro's pov

When Tanjiro left I immediately bursted into tears. I didn't know I was being selfish. I didn't realize anything like this. I quickly stood up and ran after Tanjiro, hoping I'll manage to catch up with you but I didn't.

He was already gone..

I dropped on my knees and just sobbed. Not caring about anyone seeing me like this. I felt terrible about myself, I didn't realize I was being so selfish and horrible towards Tanjiro.

I just laid on the floor, sobbing quietly but soon enough my sobs got louder.

...

It was evening and I laid in bed just looking at my wall. I was still thinking about the whole thing with Tanjiro, it wouldn't leave my mind. "Is he... going to break up with me now?"

That question scared me and circled my mind constantly. My hands were shaking as I grabbed my phone and texted Tanjiro once again.

The texts I sent before he just read and didn't answer. I felt tears forcing into my eyes. I just called him in hopes of him picking up.

He eventually picked up "what?" He just said, clearly annoyed. "T-Tanjiro I am sorry I-I didn't know I was neglecting you s-so much.." I said between sobs, not able to control it anymore.

"Well now you know," Tanjiro said. I was quiet, only letting out little quiet sobs before saying "are you... going to break up with me?"

Tanjiro's pov

"Are you... going to break up with me?" Muichiro said, sobbing. My heart sank. "Was I that harsh on him? That I... made him think I would even break up with him"

"O-Okay... I-I understand" Muichiro stuttered out. "Wait Muichiro I-!" I yelled out but Muichiro ended the call before I could say anything more.

Muichiro's pov

I dropped my phone on my bed and hugged my pillow, sobbing loudly. I cried so hard everything was blurry, I couldn't stop crying, it seemed impossible, I felt terrible.. I messed everything up.

Yuichiro walked into the room "you okay? I heard you crying" He asked as he looked at me. He sat down next to me and sat me up. "What's wrong? Is it all about the video? About the fight yesterday?"

I shook my head, just leaning on Yuichiro and sobbing hysterically. Yuichiro returned the hug and slowly rubbed my back.

After some time I calmed down, I was just sitting next to Yuichiro while he continued caressing my back.

"Are you ready to talk about it now?" He said and I slightly nodded "it's just... Tanjiro said I.. I was being selfish a-and... br-broke up with me.."

"HE WHAT?!" Yuichiro yelled out "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

I just nodded and started crying again. Yuichiro sighed and pulled me into a hug "shh it'll be okay... I'll deal with him tomorrow"

He pulled away and wiped my tears before grabbing a tissue and handing it to me. I blew my nose and wiped my remaining tears.

"You deserve much better than him, don't worry, it'll be fine" Yuichiro said ruffling my hair. I shook my head "it's all my fault.. if I wasn't so selfish h-he would still be with me.." I said quietly, trying not to cry anymore.

"He's an idiot, having sex with you and breaking up with you couple days afterwards, that's just stupid"
"I guess... I-I am sorry.."

"Why are you apologizing? There's no need"

"There is... I shouldn't have done it with him at the first place, what was I thinking at that time, I turn sixteen a-and have sex immediately... it makes my feel terrible about myself"

"Come on, it's okay, people these days fuck around already from the age of fifteen, I was being too harsh on you and our uncle was too, I don't care if you did it, where, when or with who. I was just surprised by it a lot"

"Yeah... thanks.. but still... It just feels so different now thinking about it, at that moment and after it felt great but now... it just reminds me of the time with Genya... I mean.. I love Tanjiro but.. it makes me feel sick just thinking about it"

"Hey it's okay, it's understandable, you went through something traumatic and it can always come back to you sooner or later, you might get over it or not, you might do it again and don't mind it at the moment but after you can easily break down just because of the memories coming back"

I nodded. Yuichiro pulled me closer "don't be sad about it, I'll talk it out with our uncle, I'll deal with Tanjiro tomorrow and I will find out who posted that video, I promise"

"Thanks Yui" I hugged him and he returned the hug. "No problem, wanna help me with dinner now? So you can get your mind off of things?". I slightly nodded and followed behind Yuichiro.
