#i can't believe they somehow get WORSE after ssv

i know it isn't 11.11 but i did just buy some matcha pocky so.......

tanjirou and ayame doing the pocky challenge......

this could go two ways.

(1) they're both mutually pining and tanjirou can barely get halfway through before the sight of ayame blushing is too much and he crunches down on the pocky so hard his teeth hurt

(2) they're both unaware of their feelings up until that moment, and the sight of tanjirou determinedly nibbling on the pocky while he's looking in the vicinity of her lips has ayame chomping down on the pocky out of shock and they're both staring down at the pretty short but not short enough bit of biscuit like "uhhhhh i think we lost this time" and ayame uncharacteristically answers "this is fine" while mentally she is clutching her chest and screaming

(unfortunately no pocky kisses in fits cos it hadn't been invented yet 😔 i was sad to find that out too)

Bonus: i think that if it were inosuke and ayame doing the pocky challenge, inosuke would just chomp it down in three bites then accidentally smash his lips to ayame hard enough to bruise. cue hilarious angry chase scene
