━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Tanjiro is never oblivious.
He isn't one. He is so much more of a kind young man that will have empathy for anyone — even the vilest creatures — demons. Tanjiro is an open-minded man and his maturity is above average despite his age. Kamado Tanjiro - a man who dedicated his life to protect and fight alongside his loved ones.
His gentle and polite actions would always have anyone melt into his calming façade. With his handsome features and amiable self — it is no wonder ladies accumulated feelings for the Kamado.
(Y/n) is no exemption.
A shy, reserved, and timid demon slayer; somehow opposite to the burgundy haired man. She is talented, very. With her flower breathing and the help of the Kocho's; she is now a full-fledged demon slayer. And just as a normal teenager would be — young and romantic emotions has blossomed.
It started when the trio, or should we say, the Kamaboko squad, is taken care of in the Butterfly estate where she, together with Kanao, lives. The whole month of him being in the presence of (Y/n) had her clumsy most of the time. And even when having a simple conversation; she would always be found flustered.
As much as her feelings are obvious, Tanjiro did not seem to notice the juvenile feeling she is grasping onto him. She is considerate, caring, and very gracious with her actions. Although, most of the time she is reluctant in risking actions such as talking — especially with a certain burgundy haired boy.
Despite her shyness, she does have a circle of friends in which she truly trusts. Aoi, Kanao, and even Nezuko including the other 4, and they all know how kind (Y/n) is.
That's why Tanjiro could never have the idea of her attraction towards the lad.
At present, today is a normal day for most of them; resting, training, and being sent off to missions. (Y/n) is not part of the latter, she spends this free day roaming around the estate and when she can, she would help Aoi and the three girls mending injured hunters.
As she walks through the hallway, finding something better to do to occupy her free time, her name being called echoed throughout the place. Turning around there she sees the Love pillar waving at her.
"Oh! (Y/n)-chan!"
The pink-green headed hashira exclaimed as she grins wide at the sight of her young friend. (Y/n) turned around as her long (h/c) locks swayed as she does so - it was a lovely sight. She is truly pretty; a sight for sore eyes.
The young girl smiled warmly and her (e/c) coloured eyes gleamed with glow and ran towards her big sister figure person. Both of them embrace each other happily; delighted to see the other.
(Y/n)'s smiled turned into a cute-feared one at the strength Kanjori exerted at their hug. It was like being gripped tightly by a gigantic hand as the air inside couldn't process properly.
"K-kanjori-san... you can let go now." (Y/n) softly said as she managed to get a grip. To her luck, Kanjori let go with a wide smile plastered on her angelic face.
"Come! Let's have fun!"
By fun, she meant eating a whole box of sakura mochi.
The two female made themselves comfortable by the porch, munching on the soft and mouth melting treat they're having. They would chat now and then, even while eating. They do enjoy each other's company, for these two had some friend time every once in a while.
And no doubt - being the 'Love pillar' has its perks. One that the young female can have the benefit of.
Kanjori giggled at how fast Hanako's eating the sweet treat as if she learned it from her. Kanjori gave her a glass of water that pushed the treat down her throat smoothly.
"Thank you." (Y/n) said softly as she placed down the cup on her lap.
Her dainty fingers held onto the material, rubbing it as she thought deep. There is a small smile on her face, and her eyes softened in sadness. She looks somewhat troubled and Kanjori noticed.
The hashira put a hand on the shoulder of the young one and stared at her in sympathy. She knew about her and Tanjiro, as (Y/n)'s senior and friend - Kanjori wouldn't hesitate to help the young one.
"(Y/n), are you alright?"
She said that make (Y/n) stiffed a bit and slowly settled the cup down.
"You can tell me anything!"
The young girl smiled thankfully at the kindness of Kanjori, really grateful to have her as a friend.
"I'm very sorry for being in blue with you Kanjori-san."
She apologized softly, the tone never changing and as dulcet as ever; a voice so soft and faint that could have anyone swooning in gentleness. Mitsuri grabbed both of her shoulders and made her faced with much enthusiasm on the pillar's face.
"It's about Kamado-kun! Right?"
She exclaimed loudly that made (Y/n) stammered in surprise and fear of someone hearing; not they'll be in shock, since they've noticed it for quite a while now.
(Y/n) altered her gaze to every angle, looking for someone who might hear. And gladly, there's no one. Looking back at the grinning hashira, she sighed.
"W-well, you see..." She pursed her lips together, grabbing any courage to flow inside her body.
"I couldn't help but feel pathetic at myself."
Kanjori listened attentively as she takes a squeeze on the delicate hand of (Y/n) for comfort and emotional support.
"I want him to notice my feelings. I want him to at least look at me the way I do. But..."
She let out another air before continuing. "...but I can't do anything about it. My mind would say to make a move, simple ones. Yet my body instantly iced up at some point."
Her voice turned lower and lower, she bit her lips and closed her eyes as she breathed in.
"...resulting to the opposite of what I want to be. I want to change, to become more mature and courageous. Someone Tanjiro can be... into."
Silence envelops the two as (Y/n) gathered and get a grip of herself. The love pillar embraces the young one and pats her head as she does so. Kanjori shushes her in comfort; succour for the sad lady. Kanjori couldn't help but feel the say way, for she had experienced a past similar to this.
But the only difference is, she knows that Kamado Tanjiro will surely be a man for her.
Kanjori continued this action and decided to speak up after some time. "Be yourself (Y/n). The man for you will and should accept who you are."
At that point, (Y/n) tightened her arms around Kanjori. Her words made her feel at ease, knowing that sentence is right in every way. She's glad to have her as a big sister she never has. The two stayed like that, enjoying the warm feeling.
And she is truly grateful for that.
(Y/n) cleared her throat and pulled away as she looks up at the pink-haired woman who's smiling at her.
She returned the smile.
"Well, how can I help you with Iguro-san?"
Throughout the day, the love pillar is found blushing hard.
One of (Y/n)'s favourable place and comfort zone is the garden -wherein she can be often found hanging around with the colourful flowers, watering, and dancing as it sways. As taken in by the Kocho's, undoubtedly that she is also charmed by a life of floras.
(Y/n) walked slowly at the grass-filled path with much ease on her face- the sight of the garden's beauty will never fail to appease her eyes. Just as much how Tanjiro can palliate her entire being.
He always brings his amiable aura, enlightening everyone he meets on the way, his charming smile that even men can be flustered of, and his red eyes that can see through your soul. Oh how much he has corrupted her mind.
With the thought of the burgundy boy showering her mind, (Y/n) didn't notice a cause of her falling.
"Yikes."
She closed her eyes shut in an attempt to alleviate her fall at some point, but she knew that wouldn't change its pace. She cussed a lot in her head as she falls.
Yet a muscular pair of an arm supported her petite body from the fall. One can see how the checkered patterned haori levitate like wings - a cape of a hero coming to save.
She opened her eyes slowly and looked up at her saviour. Only to meet a pair of red bright orbs. It's Tanjiro.
"Are you okay, (Y/n)?"
He exclaimed with a worried look on him as he held onto her body a little tighter due to worrying.
A lump on her throat formed, unable and stammering through her words as her face flushed bright red. Too red even. Tanjiro helped her stood up and stumbling upon it at some point it.
(Y/n) couldn't look into his eyes, nor take a glance at his face- for the fear of losing composure and... to run away. So she averted her gaze down and rubbed her elbow to calm herself.
She gulped down. "Y-yeah, thank you."
She managed to say despite her nervousness inside and flustered self.
Tanjiro smiled at her. But there's this emotion lingering inside his head, lacing around his beating heart-he's not sure. But one thing about it; (Y/n) is the cause of this.
And he is delighted by the feeling.
Hence, he beckons his arms just above her head; and patted it heedlessly. His actions even surprised him, why did he do it?
He wasn't sure but, the way (Y/n) acted; the way she blush, the she talks, and more importantly just the way she is-he adores all of it. So when she looked up and stared back at him, he was appealed.
He shifted his hand and moved it down to her face, and held it softly. (Y/n)'s nervousness facade away by his touch, it's his warmth that burned all her adversity into tiny ashes and flew off. She didn't trembled in shyness nor act out of composure. Instead, her delicate hand is placed above his.
It was so intriguing, the their hands made contact sent a struck of spark igniting inside them. And that is a very rare occurrence. As they both blinked; they've regained composure. Tanjiro retreated his scarred hand as (Y/n) rumbles inside her mind for what just happened.
He cleared his throat and chuckled sheepishly as he the back of his hand covers his flustered visage. The redness of his face is rather competing with his burgundy head.
"S-shall we settle somewhere?"
Tanjiro said and looked the other way as he opened up a sentence that made her bucked up and murmured to herself.
She back away, still having a red complexion and turned around to lead the way. "Y-Yeah."
The two resided at the open area wherein the grass blankets the whole ground, covering each with flowers and leaving a circle at the center; a clear settling place to rest. It was almosy sun down and the two converse normally - talking about the usual ones such as trainings and mission.
They had fun, enjoying the other's company that brought lulling ambiance engulfing them. It was now silent, they observe and watched in awe how the florid butterflies flapped their wings among the dancing bouquet filled place.
"(Y/n), what will you do after all this fight?"
Tanjiro questioned the her and looked at her view, and find her looking at him with her mouth partly opened at his unusual question. (Y/n) looked back to her front and heaved soft sighed.
A small curve formed her lips.
"A peaceful and safe life with a family would be nice."
She said faintly.
He looked at her with a rather shock approach. She's always positive, no matter how agitated and tense she can be; there would always be light illuminating her and guiding her. And that one thing - made him attracted to her even more.
He let out a smile at her and also faced his frony view; looking at the orange sky with the sun setting down.
"That's nice." He replied whilst staring deep into the sky. Its pigment reminded him something - or someone. It's s color is the same as the (e/c) orbs that lit up everytime he caught a glimpse of it.
(Y/n) altered her head to the side and stared at him, he eyes were shining at the dull brightness of the setting sun, his face were glimmering like fine ambers. And it stunned her, especially his next words.
"I want to have that too."
She looked at him with a rather slight widen eyes. There was something.
Why did he feel so connected? His words...What was that just now?
Unanswered questions swarmed her head once he responded. His words; those two words tha left his mouth was something else. Like it was really meant for her and her alone.
And it truly is.
Tanjiro turned his head and was met with (e/c) orbs that was looking deep into his. That caught him off guard, he didn't know what to say or do. So he peered into hers the same way she did. And it was... eccentric.
Her eyes appeared to be so deep and shallow at the same time, the brightness and dullness combined perfectly as it glows upon the sun. Who said that only the moon can give much gleam? It wasn't, and he's sure that this star gave more radiating gaze upon them.
And now he knew, why the sky together with the sunset is familiar - it was her eyes. Those beautiful eyes penetrating into his.
Tanjiro let out a small laugh of joy and stood up straight as he fixed his form. This action confused her to the point of thinking that he must have lost interest being with her.
But that changed when he smiled back at her.
"Is something the matter, Tanjiro-kun?" She asked him as she placed down her palm on her lap and looked at his figuro who's crouching down the beautiful flowers.
About a minute pass and Tanjiro exclaimed loud with an 'Ah Ha!' as he do so, as if finding something and he's so glad for it. (Y/n) watched confusingly and tilted her head to the side, questioning what he's doing.
In a blink of an eye, she is met face-to-face to him, inches away from his determined features. That made her taken a back with a forid complexion - even worse than earlier.
Tanjiro took a hold of her shoulder and steadied her body. "Please calm down."
He said, and slowly, (Y/n) calmed hersefl down and let the boy do the thing. He's smiling so bright, too bright and full of joy. She knew that his smile will never fail to sooth her down to the bone.
She was way too focused on his face that she didn't notice what he placed on her. His rough palms grazed on her cheeks that was red enough for it to be noticed. Her eyes were glued on his face as he do his actions. Slowly, her hair is tucked behind her ear and she felt a soft material on it.
"Your scent, together with this flower is combined into a fine aroma - (Y/n)."
So it was a flower, a pink one even; her favorite. She astounded, fascinated by his actions. It brought her tingling sensation and it felt like the butterflies swarming around them were overflowing her insides. Her heart thumped hard.
"Thank you,"
She smiled warmly that and he blushed at the alluring sight in front him.
"-Tanjiro."
She looks ravishing - with her eyes gleaming towards his red ones, her smile that could lift up his whole world, and her voice, oh her voice. It was a lullaby, a tone so gentle and sweet thag can possibly make him fall in a dreamlike reality.
She is one of a kind. Her beauty may be superior attention, but within inside her hides a godlike creature. A captivating human being.
And she-made him fall.
And caught at the same time.
The answer to her question, it was him. Just him; Kamado Tanjiro - the man she fell in love with. There was no more, no less, just him. And that's enough to brim her with infinite glee and with so much contentment.
The two stayed beside each other, with her head resting on his sturd shoulder as his arms wrapped around her lovingly. They looked good together, a warming sight for those who perceive.
And they both cherished the warmth of the sun as it settled down.
