Chapter Text
Kyojuro Rengoku had always been the popular boy alongside with Uzui Tengen the monent they both enrolled into Kimetsu High School. It had been going on for the past two years until the enrollment of the newest junior which everyone immediately fell for the school's 'sunshine' Kamado Tamjiro who did nothing but to offer kindness and his smile to everyone. That had melted the people's hearts and thus they decided to pay attention to the raven haired male. Kyojuro only met him once during the school opening ceremony. They bumped into each other when the younger one was obviously rushing towards the hall as he was late with his two other friends. He heard the boy calling them both 'Zenitsu' and 'Inosuke' which he also noted that the person bumped into was called 'Tanjiro'. The boy was quick to apologize and bowed a few times for bumping into Kyojuro. He did not mind much since the younger one was so small that the impact was barely anything to make him budge. But what did budged was his heart. The big apologetic smile and the brightness of those crimson eyes had tugged the strings within him. This 'Tanjiro' person was adorable and the scar on his forehead made him much more unique.
"Let's go! We're late. Sorry again for bumping into you! Goodbye!", Tanjiro bowed for the last time before he was dragged away by a panicking Zenitsu.
"It's oka... and he's gone", Kyojuro turned to see the trio fleeing towards the main hall. He then puffed out a small laugh before an arm went over his shoulder. Noticing who it was, he continued walking with the new person clinging onto him.
"The way they run is so unflashy!", Uzui exclaimed.
The silver haired tall highschooler just shook his head seeing the trio going away. Kyojuro and him were basically best buddies for so long. Seeing them to bump into Kyojuro was a big no to Uzui. If it was him, he would have asked them to do a hundred push-ups or buy them drinks for being lame. But Uzui knew his buddy would stop him from bullying juniors for fun. With Kyojuro's neutrality, Uzui and him get along well. Although they do make stupid decisions like setting the trash on fire just because a classmate said it was getting cold.
"Do you know who might that boy with red eyes be?", Kyojuro questioned as they arrived at the hall where juniors and seniors were gathered.
"I don't know. But he looks weak. Why? Should we bully him?"
"Do you want to be sent to the disciplinary for that plan?", a small soft voice appeared from behind.
"Tomioka! You're as sharp as ever!", Kyojuro complimented which was always replied with an empty look. He didn't mind it anyways. Tomioka is just being Tomioka.
As Uzui and Tomioka continued to argue over the small problem, Kyojuro with his height helped him a lot to detect the crowd of juniors on the right side. It was easy enough to find back the special boy who took his interest just by searching for his friend with the weird yellow hair. Also if it wasn't for him crying loudly at the back of the line with Tanjiro trying to calm him down. Meanwhile the wild ravenette with blue streaks started to unbutton his uniform while laughing loudly. They were truly a bunch of interesting people. He then focused on Tanjiro's face from afar. So soft and kind, despite holding down the panicking blondie, he was still awfully beautiful. No anger nor annoyance was on his face. Kyojuro felt another thump in his heart when Tanjiro glanced directly towards him despite the crowd. Then... that darned smile. The brightest smile as if he was happy to meet him again and nothing else matters. But with that smile, Tanjiro unknowingly flashed it towards the other students in front of Kyojuro. Everyone felt the same thing, that hint of calmness made them silent as they enjoyed the smiling Tanjiro more than they should. From that day onwards, everyone agreed that the new junior was immediately the school's sweetheart. It attracted most of the popular seniors like Kyojuro, the original sunshine, Uzui, the flirt, Giyuu, the cool one and... Muzan, the bully. Of course, with Tanjiro set in their minds, they are surely wanting to make that boy theirs. Nothing will stop them from making Tanjiro fall for them.
"Well, he's not as unflashy as I thought he would be, right, Rengoku?", Uzui chuckled.
"I'm making him mine", Kyojuro declared which surprised the other greatly.
Giyuu stood there in awe of Tanjiro's smile flashing in his mind again and again like a short film. Everyone thought the same too but soon they were silenced with the appearance of their headmaster, Yoriichi Tsugikuni and the head of discipline, Kokushibo Tsugikuni. Each took their own seats and Kyojuro still couldn't get his eyes off of the boy who sat not too far for him. Uzui patted his back to make sure his buddy was paying attention in front. They wouldn't want to anger Kokushibou since that dude can see everyone's movement, as if he had six eyes to track everyone at the same time. Juniors would definitely feel his wrath since they weren't notified how scary that man can be. Meanwhile his twin brother, Yoriichi, was more gentler. More to the student's, especially girls, favorite. He gave out such a calm aura like Tanjiro which is why he is loved by everyone. What made him scary was because of the other looming behind him if anyone tried anything towards him.
As soon as the ceremony ended, all the juniors gathered with their friends seeing which class were they assigned to. Meanwhile the seniors were asked to guide the younger ones around the school. Of course, Kyojuro immediately went to look for Tanjiro to helped him. He wished he could be alone with the boy but Uzui and Giyuu was tagging along and he noticed the three of them had the same plan in their heads. To be a good senior to Tanjiro and guide them around the school like it's a date. It took a while to find the boy and when they do, they stopped in their tracks when he saw the first senior to have approach Tanjiro in helping him around.
"Out of all people...", Uzui spoke in disbelief.
Tanjiro stood there under a tree with a certain dark haired male with pinkish eyes. They were exchanging the small paper of the school's ground plan and the boy seemed to look very grateful with all the information he got. As they spoke, they were interrupted by a certain silver haired male who came to push the man away from Tanjiro. Kyojuro and Giyuu stood in front of the boy as if to protect him from senior he was talking to currently.
"What's your plan, Muzan?"
"If you're here to bully a junior for fun then you better fuck off"
"Uzui, you just planned to bully the juniors moments ago"
"I'm different! Shut up, you're not helping here, Giyuu!"
Confused with the situation, Tanjiro felt scared. He noticed the senior who was protecting him was the same person who he bumped into earlier.
"O-Oh i'ts you again!", Tanjiro exclaimed happily with that cute smile of his.
His voice was like sweet sugar into the ears of the seniors around him. It was strong yet soft and they couldn't help but withhold the tension they had with Muzan. Kyojuro stared at him with golden eyes for a moment as a small blush crept up his cheeks. He unknowingly held onto Tanjiro's hand which causes glares from the other three.
"My boy, how about I'll be the one who guide you around the school? I'm better at directions than that filthy Muzan!", he exclaimed proudly with that wide smile of his.
"Oi, I offered him, Rengoku. Get your own junior somewhere else", Muzan definitely would not let go of Tanjiro that easily. Not when that boy had caught his heart as well.
"W-well, uhm...", the younger stuttered after getting cornered by four tall seniors who offered their hand to guide him.
"How flamboyant! Then how about following this God of Flirt? I'll make sure you have the flashiest tour!", Uzui interrupted.
Giyuu just nodded and stared at Tanjiro with his blank eyes. As they waited for the boy's answer, they were surprised when the red beet junior suddenly gave the final decision while holding onto his brown school bag. How cute.
"H-how about the four of you guide me? Then that would be fair and square, right?", Tanjiro wouldn't want to make them fight. It was better if all of them just tag along. Plus, they would waste more time arguing than actually guiding him around. Time was not going to wait for them.
Kyojuro, Uzui, Giyuu and Muzan exchanged glances for a moment. Well, that was a good solution and they wouldn't want to get sent to detention if they started fighting. Not that Muzan was bothered by that. Silently agreeing with Tanjiro, the four them started to help the junior going around the school. Of course there was a few sneaky punches between Uzui and Muzan when Tanjiro was not looking. And the boy felt more comfortable to stand in the middle between Kyojuro and Giyuu. He felt safe and didn't notice the few jealous glances he was getting from the other students.
"And this is the gym!", Uzui exclaimed. It was his favorite place in school.
Now that Tanjiro noticed, both Uzui and Kyojuro were both packed with muscles just seeing how tight the sleeves were when they moved their arms. Did they go the school gym daily and trained together?He thought how easy it would be for them to carry him with one hand. The younger one shook his head at the thought. Next, he was brought to the school's private pool. There were few students trying out the water and looking around the premise. It was quite large and spacious. Everything was fully equipped too. Tanjiro was thankful that Hotaru helped him to pay his full tuition and get him into this expensive private school. Well, he was more likely forced to enroll or Hotaru would have his head.
Kyojuro noticed the boy was distracted when he started to smile to himself. The taller blonde male find it very cute and when he was about to get Tanjiro's attention, a group of girls suddenly flocked towards the group. Mostly wanted to meet the four seniors since they were THAT popular. They were pushing around just to say their greetings to the handsome seniors but because of that, they heard a huge splash. Everyone turned their heads including the four when they saw their crush, Tanjiro Kamado, had fallen into the water.
"Move!", Kyojuro screamed. Without a second thought, he had jumped into the water.
Uzui, Giyuu and Muzan followed suit. The three of them jumped in when they saw Rengoku getting in first. Their newly found crush is drowning!
The four of them noticed just by looking at how Tanjiro was flailing around his arms before he sunk down.
One thing about Tanjiro was that he couldn't swim and seemed to not have been resurfacing. He was struggling to move his arms to swim but his clothes were heavy and all he could do was look up. His vision under the water was blurry but the first thing he could see four figures getting into the water. Each was going after his drowning self. He then a warm hand holding onto his forearm. All he could see was those golden orbs looking at him. Then Uzui was there to hold him. Muzan and Giyuu supporting from behind. As soon as they resurfaced, Tanjiro was coughing out water. He was thankful that he wasn't underwater for too long or he would have swallowed a lot of water. He felt broad chest beside him and when he looked up, Kyojuro was holding him into a bridal style. His face turned red from embarrassment but at the same time grateful for rescuing him.
"Are you okay, my boy??", Kyojuro was worried sick.
"How unflashy of you girls to push someone into the pool!", Uzui nagged.
"Get lost!", Muzan threatened the girls, which caused all of them to back away or run.
Giyuu quickly went to Tanjiro in Kyojuro's arms. He wiped the boy's face from the excess water using his hand. "I'm glad you're safe".
"Y-yes, I'm fine. Thank you for saving me, the four of you", Tanjiro smiled once again, melting their hearts in the process.
"My boy... Use my spare jacket to cover yourself", Kyojuro looked away hiding the small blush. Now that Tanjiro was wet, they could see how small and lean the boy's body was. Not mentioning how his nubs can be seen from his uniform. Muzan, Uzui and Giyuu immediately had dirty thoughts about Tanjiro meanwhile Kyojuro closed his eyes thinking about running pink bunnies.
"Y-yes, thank you!", the younger boy exclaimed as he put on the jacket which was obviously oversized, making him a lot more adorable than before.
The four of them were knocked out on the floor from the cuteness attack. Now that the guiding session was over, they needed to head back to the hall for the last event. It wasn't as important so it was the student's decision to either join or not. Mostly didn't especially Tanjiro. Unfortunately he did not bring any extra clothes and when he was in the changing room, the four of them were following as well.
"I...I didn't bring any spare clothes", Tanjiro exclaimed sadly.
"Wear mine", Uzui spoke.
"No, mine", Muzan handed out his black shirt.
"He's my size, he'll fit into mine", Giyuu suggested.
"My boy, just wear my jacket and you'll be fine!", Kyojuro spoke.
The three of them gave Rengoku a dirty look as if he was a pervert from suggesting that. Tanjiro blinked his eyes at the idea and as dumb and oblivious he is, he surprisingly agreed to it.
"It's okay I wouldn't want to dirty any of your clothes. Thank you, senpai!", Tanjiro smiled as he removed his wet clothes right in front of them.
All of their jaws dropped from seeing his fair skin and how small the boy's waist was. Not to mention that his body was wet making the scenery sexual unintentionally. All of them quickly looked away when Tanjiro was half naked. Kyojuro was now thinking of a thousand of doughnuts flying around. Uzui was reciting his flirtatious poem, Giyuu looking at his empty phone screen and Muzan shoving his head into a locker trying to think of pure stuffs. When he was done, they sighed in relief.
"My boy, don't return my jacket washed. Just let it be!", Kyojuro gave him a thumbs up.
"Eh? S-sure?", Tanjiro tilted his head in confusion. Maybe he wanted to wash it himself since he might be using a special detergent, which was not the case.
"Pervert", the three seniors said in unison and shot a glare at the blonde male.
"Also, if you need any help, call my name and I'll come in a flashy way!", Uzui smiled.
"If someone is bullying you, tell me and I'll kill them", Muzan said with seriousness in his eyes. He was not even joking about the murdering part.
"I can teach you if you have problems with studying", Giyuu offered.
"Thank you, really! Oh I think I forgot to say this but nice to meet you, my name is Tanjiro Kamada. Class 1-B!", he introduced himself.
As school was ending, everyone separated their ways. Kyojuro, Uzui, Giyuu and Muzan kept on thinking of Tanjiro. Now that they know his name and his class, this would be the best last year of school for them! (Except for Giyuu) They wondered if Tanjiro would choose any of them at the end? Kyojuro would definitely do his best to attract the boy no matter what.
Little did they know, Tanjiro already had a crush on one of them in secret from the first time they met.
