Chapter Text
Muichiro follows his brother down the halls of his new school.
"Don't talk to anyone, don't bump into anyone, don't smile, don't do drugs, don't react, keep your head down, don't do shady shit, and most importantly do not EVER mess with a Shinazugawa." Those were the rules Muichiro's older brother Yuichiro gave to him.
"What am I supposed to do then? Hide my existence?" Muichiro said sarcastically. "Hey that idea's not half bad." Yuichiro said as if he was really considering it.
Muichiro finally found his locker and put his stuff in it. He had a few textbooks, paper, notebooks, pens, and pencils. "I'm not 10 Yui, i think i can handle high school. How bad can it be?" Muichiro scoffs but he wonders how bad it could possibly be.
Muichiro turns, grabbing a pen and notebook. His homeroom class and first period is with Mr. Akaza, the math teacher.
"Hey Yui, when are we moving into the dorms?" He asks his taller look alike. "We are moving in today after lessons. Since we were like the last people to get a dorm we are probably going to be together so you shouldn't worry." Yuichiro said calmly
"Thats good. I don't like people I don't know in my space." Muichiro walks to his class with Yuichiro but he bumps into someone. Great, just great! he thinks as he looks up at the figure he bumped into. He already broke one of the rules Yuichiro warned him about and he wasn't looking forward to dealing with this mistake. He sighed and looked up at the tall man glaring at him. he was twice Muichiro's size and had a Mohawk and pale purple eyes.
"Oi bastard! watch where your going! Also, your new right? give me 5 bucks." The tall boy glared at him and shoved him a bit. "I don't have money. And even if i did i wouldn't give it to you." Muichiro snapped. he had no clue who he thought he was but he wasn't going to let him treat him like shit.
Muichiro stomped on his shoe and slipped away.
"hey! Do you not know who I am? I'm Genya Shinazugawa! If you don't have your money then you owe me $20 tomorrow! Genya yelled back at him. Muichiro turned to look back at him. "20? I thought I would owe you 10! Did you flunk math or something!"
Genya scoffs, and looks at him in a more flirty way. "pretty boys like you have to pay more.~" With that Genya walks off with a smirk, knowing that he messed with Muichiro's brain.
What is that supposed to mean? What did Genya mean by pretty boys like you? Muichiro's brain went into overdrive as he couldn't get that comment out of his mind but he was about to be late for his first class of high school so he ignored it for now and rushed to his class, getting there a minute before it started.
He saw an empty seat at the back of the class so he sat down. He finally had time to catch his breath. He looked around the room looking for people who looked nice enough to start a conversation with and maybe even become friends. A boy with red hair caught his eye. He looked nice enough and Muichiro was tempted to talk to him but since he wasn't the most social person and he had no clue what to say he kept to himself.
The redhead noticed his gaze and smiled at him warmly and waved. "hi! I'm Kamado Tanjiro! what's your name?" "I'm Tokitou Muichiro. Nice to meet you Tanjiro." "likewise!" The excited boy replied. Muichiro smiled slightly. Fuck the rules, he already broke like three anyways and he was fine.
As Muichiro was going to say something the bell rang indicating class was going to start.
Tanjiro suddenly spoke "I can introduce you to my friends after class if you want. there all really nice. There a bit loud but you get used to it. what do you say Muichiro? If you go then meet me outside this classroom." Muichiro thought for a second before answering. "Yeah. sounds good. Thanks."
The rest of math class was boring and quick. They were doing some basic algebra that Muichiro didn't pay much attention to. He was decent at Math and it wasn't as bad as he initially thought so he didn’t worry about it too much. This way he had time to think back on the events that happened.
He was going to be introduced to some of Tanjiro's friends, even though they just met each other. Muichiro could tell that he had a kind heart. Maybe school wasn't going to be bad after all. From the back of his mind he still wondered what Genya meant. What did the term pretty boys mean? Was Genya insulting him or calling him pretty as a way of flirting? It definitely couldn't be the second option. He was insulting him because of his long feminine hair. Yeah, that's it. Also, why was Genya so rude to him? He didn't do anything wrong but he somehow he managed to annoy one of the people he was specifically told not to talk to.
Oh well. It wasn't like he could do anything about it so he should just forget about it.
The bell finally rang and class was over.
He told Tanjiro he would go meet his friends so he picked his stuff up and headed out. He went to his locker and put his stuff inside before walking back to the classroom where Tanjiro was going to meet him. He hoped he would make friends so this was the golden opportunity. This wasn't going to happen again so he had to stop thinking about Genya and get it together.
Muichiro blocked all his thoughts and headed over to the group of energetic crazy teens that lay Infront of him.
This was going to be a long day. He thought as he approached them.
