THIRD-PERSON

"Why are you here?" you mumbled which got his attention.

"Sorry. I was walking around and stumbled over to this room. What's it for?" he asked politely.

You walked over to the white and fluffy small chair with a plushie sitting up from it. You hugged it tightly and sat down. You crossed your legs and buried your face into the stuffed animal.

"It's a long, complicated story about my past," you whispered.

"I'm willing to listen to it. If it's something you need to get off your chest, I'll oblige." his gentle voice said as he sat down in front of you.

(I changed this just a tad-)

"You see, I have a twin sister. She went missing after I became a demon. While pacing outside one night, I noticed a scent was washing over my nose as I walked by. It was a massacre of a family, where they were eaten by a demon. Each person was torn limb from limb, gruesomely and with no commiseration. I ran over to see if any of them were alive, but that was a waste. I heard crying. It was a baby in the arms of a dead woman. I decided to take it into my care because I didn't want that baby living a horrible life, at a young age knowing that their family was dead. I built this nursery for him, I loved him, but good things come to an end as always. I raised him until he went missing a few weeks ago." 

The thought of that event made you feel... blue. If you didn't come rescue that child, who knows what could've happened.

"I'm sorry," he said sorrowfully.

"It's fine. You didn't know, and that's my responsibility to tell you anything you want to know."

You silently walked out of the room, avoiding eye contact with him. 

Sure, you acted like someone you weren't―a demon. You weren't trying to prove anyone wrong. The same way people think of other demons is the same way they think about you. Every time you would step into the open, just a massive wave of comments about your imperfections would swirl around you with no mercy. You had to deal with it.

"Wait!" a hand gently grabbed your shoulder.

"If you ever want to talk about something, I'm here for you." Tanjiro softly smiled.

"Okay."

THIRD-PERSON

It's been a few days, and I've gotten to know Tanjiro better. I've never had this kind of connection with someone before, but it feels like a fresh new start, a new beginning.  Something about him makes you feel fuzzy and warm inside.

Maybe it's his personality?... no, that's only part of it.

His Smile?... maybe...

You just can't put the tip of your tongue on it. One part of it was stressing you out.

You were taking a steamy bath, your long-drawn [hair/color] hair floating around side your [skin/color] soft and silky skin. This was the only thing that kept you calm. Refraining from the outside world.

"Hey! [name]-san!"

"This is delicious!"

"You should smile more, [name]-san."

"Shit! Get out of my head!" you screamed as you groped your hair.

"[name]-san? Are you okay?" A muffled voice came from outside from the bathroom.

"I-I'm fine..."

That was embarrassing. You screaming out embarrassment only caused you more embarrassment if only you had stayed silent. Your fingers started to become plumper the longer you stayed in the bath. You quickly got out and got dressed in a kimono that you had just sewn and were excited to wear.

It was [favorite/color] with a hint of silver. It wasn't too long, rather passing your thighs, not reaching your knees. It had long sleeves, which you adored, and a matching pair of high socks. You braided your hair into one long braid and it flowed down your back. You stepped out of the doorway to see a flushed and nosebleeding Tanjiro.

"Y-You left the door open...!!" he stuttered.

You were for some reason quiet about this whole situation.

"Why were you staring at me?" you asked.

He fainted immediately.

"Yare yare~ I didn't think he'd faint."

There was one thing you could agree on that made you warm about him.

You loved his face.
