♥ Who: Zenitsu and you!
♥ Where: Diacht Temple then around town
♥ When: Back-dated to earlier this week/May 11th-ish for first prompt, later prompts are for throughout the month
♥ What: Zenitsu's got a canon update and he's not really happy (warning for some death mentions, also a lot of KNY spoilers)
♥ Rating: PG...PG-13 at most
[ 1 - Re-awakening, at Diacht's temple ]
[ Zenitsu had fallen into a coma for the past week. He himself wasn't aware of it, as he fell asleep as usual the night before. Then the priests came and took him back to the temple. The week went by with him sleeping like the dead, and if anyone were to visit him towards the end of the week, they may have seen some mysterious cracks appearing on his skin. The cracks are gone by the time you see him awake, though.
Zenitsu himself definitely wasn't having a good time. He's pulled back home, where the demon slayers are faced with another big battle again. When he wakes back up in Havenwell, he's extremely groggy, barely alive, with some struggle to figure out what month it is, not to mention he's in tears and wary. ]
What month is it??? Are my friends still here?! That was scary to wake up to!! Hello???
[ Who missed his noisy whining? ]
[ 2 - Around town, a little awkward ]
[ After he's recovered at the temple enough, he would make his way out of the temple and wander around in the city. He's tired, even though he's just woken up, and he would prefer to spend time in a quiet place. He's gotten used to all the sounds here at this point, it wasn't as dreadful as the ones he was hearing back in his home world, at least for the moment.
He's not whining, but his overall demeanor would be restless although he's trying his hardest to hide it after waking up.
If he's not paying attention, you may also see him scratching at his cheeks, as if something is supposed to be there. When he notices you, he'll immediately pull his hand away from his face to give a wave, if he knows you already. ]
Uhm... Hi?
[ 3 - Wildcard! ]
[ Or anything else! Let me know what you'd like to play out with Zenitsu!! ]

[Which, uh, you can tell for yourself, for sure.]
Either way, let's get you something to eat, okay?
no subject
Hearing Shinji's reassurance does bring out a small smile on Zenitsu's face, and he gives a nod in response. ]
Yeah, let's...! [ And now that they're back on the topic of food... ] What kind of food are you thinking of making, by the way?
[ JUST CURIOUS. ]
no subject
Our replicator can make fish, so I was thinking something with that, rice, and maybe a vegetable... [Nothing too complicated, just so he can make sure to get it done nice and quick.] There are oranges, too, or apples if you'd prefer.
no subject
[ Simple is all he needs at the moment, really. And the talk about food and being able to visualize a more concrete meal made his stomach growl comically. ]
Uhm, let me know if you need any help? I'm not as good as cooking like Tanjiro is, but I feel bad just sitting around.
[ To be honest, he doesn't mind sitting around if he could help it, but he should at least do something to repay the kindness. ]
no subject
[He gets not wanting to feel useless, but Shinji's offering to do this because he's worried! It wouldn't do to exhaust him even more.]
Maybe, though, you can do something like wash the rice? That shouldn't be too hard...
[An easy task, he figures, would be a nice compromise.]
no subject
[ That is definitely easy enough to do without getting too much in the way! Good thing Zenitsu isn't a klutz.
And what a great timing, they've been walking all this time and now they've made it to Shinji and Kaito's place. ]
no subject
[Just like that! Shinji will go ahead and open up the door to let Zenitsu inside. The inside of the house is, probably unsurprisingly, not really that much different from any of the other free houses. Sharp eyes may notice Shinji's cello propped up in the living room, and the kitchen appears to be well lived-in, but otherwise, it's pretty unremarkable.]
Feel free to make yourself comfortable while I get everything set up.
no subject
He does notice the cello in the living room as he settles into a spot. Last time, he was listening to Shinji create music from it. He was still curious of the instrument, but he felt hesitant to ask about it. ]
Uhm... Don't rush?
no subject
It shouldn't take too long.
[Just gotta get the right supplies out, and coax the replicator into making the right ingredients. That'll only take a few minutes at most...!]
Is there anything you'd like to drink in particular?
no subject
[ Zenitsu already felt a little bad that Shinji is preparing a meal anyways. Just a little bit, because he's still shameless.
During the time Shinji is preparing, Zenitsu really has got nothing much else to do, so he fiddles around with his own hands idly.
There is another curious thought he's got, especially from the earlier conversation, though, so he decides to ask. ]
...So have you and Kaito-kun been super close from the beginning?
no subject
He's shaken out of his thoughts with that question, and as he answers, he continues getting everything set up for the meal.]
Ah, well... it was really more like he was the first person who reached out to me? [It's a nice, warm memory to recall, and his tone takes a softer shift for it.] I wouldn't say we were very close right away, it took a lot of time and work.
no subject
A long time, huh... I was able to meet Kaito-kun before, when I first got here.
[ And it's been five months since then. To top it off, Kaito had mentioned they were here for six months at that point... ]
...You guys have been looking out for each other pretty long here, then.
[ The two had been away from their home worlds for just under a year at this point. A year... A thought of Tanjiro being away from Nezuko for that long passes his mind, and he feels a dull pain in his chest. He places a hand over it, trying to rub it away. ]
...Do you ever dream about being back in your home world?
no subject
The thing is... the world I came from isn't very nice. [To put it extremely lightly. Dreaming about it, whether he means literally or figuratively, isn't something he wants to be doing.] It probably sounds kind of awful, but if I can stay here, instead of going back there, that... would be better for me, I think.
no subject
He's not sure how to react at first. On one side, there was Zenitsu, wishing he could get Tanjiro back to their home world. He's sure Tanjiro feels the same as well, given that Nezuko isn't in this world. He hasn't thought of anyone who'd want to stay in this world.
But if he were talking about himself, that would be a different issue. ]
...I think I can get where you're coming from. If I can do anything about it, I'd want to stay here too.
no subject
Hmm. For as weird as Havenwell can be, it hasn't been such a bad place. It's... peaceful, you know? Even with it's strange hiccups.
Everything's ready, if you want to come help, [he says gently, like he's trying to keep the atmosphere nice and steady in the face of these admissions.]
no subject
Yeah, I think so too. The weird stuff that happens from time to time can be a little scary sometimes, but it's not as scary as back home.
[ And when he hears that the preparations are ready, he perks up with a smile as he moves over to help out. ]
Okay! It was washing the rice, right?
[ And he'll start getting to it, rolling up his sleeves. ]
no subject
[He just knows that, if he were in Zenitsu's position, he wouldn't want to be badgered with a bunch of invasive questions about why going back home sounds like a bad plan. That curiosity isn't going away by any means, but he can at least try and keep it to himself.]
I'm sorry that your world isn't a kind place, either.
[Even if neither of them are keen to go into details about how and why that is, at least that's something they have in common, huh?]
Hopefully this one doesn't throw anything much scarier than sleeping for a whole week at you.
no subject
I sure hope so! I wasn't even feeling all that worn out before I slept for a week. I just hope I don't have to go through that again.
[ The world was very brutal, but he's still thankful that he's met his friends. He's going to keep that thought to himself for the moment, since talking about it would make the atmosphere darker than it needs to be. ]
I also hope that they'll let us stay when the world's fixed. I mean, there's some people who can't wait to go back home after helping out.
[ It might sound too good to be true, but it'd be nice. ]
no subject
[It really would be nice, to have that option, wouldn't it?]
I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of us who want to sick around even after everything is settled. [That is kind of a sad topic to be dwelling on for too long, though, so he'll leave it at that for now. They're on the same page, they agree, so that's that.] Hopefully more of the food and everything will be better by that point, too.
[The replicators are pretty incredible! But, uh, man, he'd really enjoy a wider variety of stuff that tastes reliably normal.]
no subject
I sure hope so! It'd be great if they get better food, especially seafood!
[ You know, like sushi and unagi foods. Either way, it doesn't take too long for the rice to be washed, so Zenitsu gets done with it fairly quickly. ]
Okay! Rice washing done! Is there anything else I can help out with?
no subject
Thank you. If you could put it on to cook, that would be more than enough.
[That'll give him enough time to finish seasoning up the salmon, figure out what to do for the vegetable, and hopefully everything will come together at about the same time for it.]
no subject
But now, with the rice just being left until it's finished cooking, there's not much else he could do. Shinji probably has his own routine for cooking so he didn't want to disrupt that... He ends up standing off to the side as he fiddles with his hands idly. ]
Thanks again for making food, by the way...! [ Did he say that already? Ah well, sitting around in silence isn't what Zenitsu was comfortable with, so he'll just ramble. ]
no subject
[He wouldn't have offered in the first place if it was!]
I know what happened to you is probably pretty frightening, but if a warm meal can help you feel a little more normal, then that's the least I can really do.
[He's not... great... at comforting words. He can listen to whatever worries Zenitsu feels like sharing, but he's also way too nervous about overstepping to really press him to share.]
no subject
Talking about himself aside from immediate emotions were something that was a little more difficult for Zenitsu to share. There were already so many things he disliked about himself that if he voiced them he was sure people who've had the kindness to approach him would back away. He didn't want to burden them with that. ]
Well, not a lot of people would offer that too, you know?
no subject
I suppose not. [He knows he wouldn't have been able to count on someone offering him the same kind of consideration before coming here, and even then there's only a limited number of people he could anticipate extending the offer. In this case, though, it really feels like all he's really capable of doing, so at least Zenitsu seems to be comforted at least that much by it.]
Hopefully it helps, either way. Sharing a meal with someone else can be pretty relaxing, you know?
