Helping Aoi fold the sheets, Genya and her have struck a conversation rather smoothly, him already having gotten used to having the shorter girl around. She was like Teiko, she was caring, very caring. It took a bit of time to get used to it, but he ended up growing used to her presence. "Thank you for the help, Genya." Aoi smiled.
"Yeah, no problem." he nodded, a soft smile on his face as well.
"Um... Genya-kun..." the two heard Sumi call. They both turned their heads, seeing the girl fidgeting around.
"Sumi? What's wrong?" he asked.
"...Kanao-san and Tanjiro-kun are injured and are requesting for you. Again." she informed. Genya's face went blank as he processed the words. Kanao and Tanjiro. Injured. Again. It took every single nerve in him to not let out a groan of annoyance.
"Third time this week." he mumbled, bringing a hand to his face. Aoi looked at him with a small hint of pity. Tanjiro and Kanao had been getting hurt a lot ever since the two had started to date Genya, as well as each other. And she wasn't exaggerating. Every week, they came with injuries. And every week, they requested Genya to treat them.
"Do you think they're doing it on purpose?" the blue eyed girl asked.
"I don't fuc-" he quickly stopped himself from swearing because Sumi was present "I dunno at this point." he corrected himself, shaking his head. He walked towards the inside of the Butterfly Mansion, rolling his sleeves up. Aoi sweatdropped.
"Why are Kanao-san and Tanjiro-kun getting hurt so much now? Aren't they strong?" Sumi asked, confused. Aoi just pet her head.
"Let's just say... Love can be stupid." she said.
Tanjiro and Kanao sat on the same bed, looking at Genya with an expectant look and small smiles on their faces. He stood in front of them, his arms crossed with a deadpan look. "Let me guess. It was a demon."
"Yes."
"It's blood demon art took you by surprise."
"Correct."
Genya stayed silent as he sighed, not knowing what else to do. His partners were absolute idiots at times. But he couldn't help but love them anyways.
"We- We brought you some of it's blood!" Tanjiro offered, showing Genya a small vial with blood.
"YOU BROKE YOUR ARM FOR IT!" the nurse exclaimed, almost pouncing on the boy.
"And our swords..." Kanao shyly imputted, which grew Genya's despair. He just brought a hand to his face, letting out a groan.
"What is wrong with you two..."
