[ To be honest, most people probably forgets except Zenitsu himself.

As his arm is tugged, Zenitsu finds himself laying down next to the other on the bed. ]

Really? I've gone through some of it a little while ago.

[ He says a little triumphantly. Like he said the last time, Cyan helped out with how to operate the tablet, but he's not going to say it this time because he actually learned from past mistakes. ]

[ Tanjiro shifts around until he can tuck the blond's head underneath his chin.

Mhm, I don't mind though, since I already know the basics. It shouldn't replace talking to people directly or sending out letters.

[ Somewhere in the corner of Zenitsu's mind, he wonders how things would have been different if it weren't for the new years fortune curse. He definitely wouldn't be sleeping in another guy's arms like this. Zenitsu certainly wouldn't have gotten a chance to learn that it's a lot more comforting to feel the warmth of another person right next to him as they laid in bed.

...

He puts that thought aside as he goes to respond to Tanjiro as he looks up at the other from where he lay. ]

You think? You don't have to spend so much on paper and ink, and it gets sent pretty fast, almost instantly. It's super convenient, at least.

[ In a way, he does agree with where his friend's coming from, though. ]

But yeah, I don't think it should completely replace how we talk to people. It's just like eating food together. It's better if you can talk to people directly.

[ He looks down so that his eyes meet with Zenitsu. But this is better though, they're in close proximity and they can tell how they're feeling with each other. He thinks that you can't achieve that through text even if it's fare more convenient. ]

I guess so but...

[ He hums as he forms his words. It is somewhat difficult explaining it verbally, considering he isn't the most eloquent person. ]

But it's like eating food together yeah, letters are special in that way. I think its easier to forget with a communicator because it comes by so fast.

...I guess so? I don't think I write letters as much as you do, so I guess I wouldn't know much...

[ Zenitsu wasn't as sure with letters, since the ones he's gotten were from Grampa (that he'd ignore because it'd be talking about Kaigaku), or the ones he'd send to Kaigaku (that would be ignored). Aside from that, he really doesn't write as much. In a way, he was envious of Tanjiro to have a stable relationship where he can casually send and receive letters.

That thought gets Zenitsu to break the short eye contact they have, and instead he goes to focus back on Tanjiro's sound as he buries his face. ]

You're definitely blessed with having nice people around you. You're super lucky, you know!

[ He hums as Zenitsu hides his face from him, instead the new angle brings him closer the sweet scent of the tousled blond hair. Zenitsu has a nice scent, a mix of sweet, salty and hints of copper that was somewhat different from blood, closer to lightning. He's somewhat tempted to bury his nose into it just to figure out the components that makes Zenitsu's entire being.

Tanjiro considers bringing up the blond's master but maybe that's not quite it. ]

You can send me letters too whenever we have different missions.

[ The the attack in the Swordsmith village certainly won't be the last so long as they're both part of the Demon Slayer Corps. Though it makes him think of something else, there's subtle change in his hum comparing to both. ]

When Nezuko returns back to normal, you can send letters to our house any time.

Really? That would be super nice of you, Tanjiro! And of course I'll write letters to Nezuko-chan when she becomes human again, too!!

[ He gives is usual weird "uhehehe" giggle as he snuggles up closer to the other. Just hearing that made him happy and that also made him a lot more relaxed than before. The relaxed feeling also gives him a fuzzy feeling and his usual demeanor becomes more softer. ]

Thanks for being my friend, Tanjiro.

[ By the Gods, that laugh is so weird even on lower volume.

But he seems so genuinely happy by the idea of letters that Tanjiro couldn't help but smile as well, the sweet smell doubles that it tickles his nose, in a way it reminds him a lot of konpeito. Colorful, small and a burst of joy that it makes you smile.

Instinctively, his hand reaches out to gently pet the blond's hair. His voice is down to a whisper to match Zenitsu. ]

Thank you for being my friend too, Zenitsu. [ Teasingly, he adds; ] you better not exaggerate anything in your letters.

[ With the whispers that go along with the general sounds his friend makes starts to lure Zenitsu to a sleep deeper than he can accomplish on his own normally. Not quite there yet though, and he still clearly picks up what Tanjiro says and moves away slightly to give him a frown. ]

Exaggerate? Like what?

[ Spoilers, he totally was going to exaggerate some stuff. At least let him dream in the world of letters! ]

[ His breath hitches when he feels cold air seeping in as Zenitsu moves back. Without thinking, he goes with the first thing that comes to his mind; ]

Like talking about going on dates with girls.

[ Excuse me that's rude ]

Wha? I'm not exaggerating when I said I went on dates with girls before.

[ It was just that they never let him hold his hand! And left him debt-ridden! Not to mention he did a poor-ass job trying to get a random girl to marry him! ]

But why would I write about that when there's Nezuko-chan? I'll write about how much I miss her and how much I'd like to go out on dates with her.

[ There's a thought that passes by his mind for a split second, although he does nothing about it. He'd definitely include Tanjiro, along with Inosuke for people he'd miss, but it felt a little embarrassing even for his own standards, to mention it.

Instead of saying anything about his thoughts, Zenitsu moves back into the hug, cuddling a little closer than before to take a breath in. He's trying to sleep, not think of the future back in their home world. ]

[ Of course, that's how Zenitsu usually operates.

But he doesn't voice his opinion aloud, instead he wordlessly brings his hand up to pet the back of Zenitsu's head. The squeeze in his chest feels distantly familiar. That's right... he hadn't felt like this since he first became a big brother.

But why is it coming up now?

Just as quick, he throws that question away and ignore the pinch in his heart. He takes a deep breath, focusing instead on the blond's unique sense and realize that something was bothering Zenitsu, too. He whispers to him one last time, in hopes that it conveys a way to say that he's here and will ease away Zenitsu's thoughts as much as he could; ]

Goodnight, Zenitsu.

[ Zenitsu barely gets an audible response out with a mumble as he's already getting dragged into the world of dreams, his ears only picking up Tanjiro's sounds.

It doesn't take long for the blond to fall into a sleep deeper than his normal ones. ]
