I'm currently writing this on top of a building while smoking but let's get on with it anyways..

———————————
{third POV}

It had been a couple days since Giyuu came back sick in his search for Akaza... and Tanjiro's eventful night with Muichiro. Might I add the mist pillar was feeling rather happy about since.

Tanjiro had been postponed from going on missions to look after the water pillar since he refused to go to the medical room for some odd reason. So the burgundy haired boy made it his responsibility to nurse Giyuu back to health. As for the pillar, he had been enjoying every single minute of it. Occasionally making Tanjiro flustered by catching him off guard with a kiss or slight tug of his hips.

As for Inosuke and Zenitsu, they had almost recovered by now. The bore head's crushed throat on the road to recovery and Zenitsu's limbs were almost the same size as before.

I'm contrast to everyone else whom was in the butterfly mansion. They were getting indeed very jealous.

Tanjiro spent every single day with Giyuu and the other pillars had started to get restless in the need for Tanjiro's affection.

In fact, one person in particular had hidden it for so long that he simply couldn't stay away any longer.

And that person was Kyojiro Rengoku.

The flame pillar had been previously pacing back and forth in his room while thinking of the innocent bean. Oh how he missed his bright smile and gentle touch. The way his glowing eyes shon with purity despite what he's been through, how his cute fangs poked out of his small pink lips.

Rengoku just couldn't get Tanjiro out of his mind.

As of right now, Tanjiro sat outside under a little roof in the garden; peacefully watching the rain poor down on the surrounding.

He needed some time to think. And the rain helped him greatly; it was like it cleared his mind from negative thoughts and feelings.

Tanjiro was a little confused about everything.

Just why was he being constantly stalked and taken by the demon's? Muzan had taken him before and used him for pleasure and blood. A traumatic experience nonetheless. Then Douma tried to turn him into a demon, which kind-of worked but didn't really. Then was his encounter with Akaza of which his memories were fuzzy so he didn't really know what happened. And the most recent, which was Enmu and Douma trying to take him once more...

Luckily Rengoku was there to help him however, otherwise Tanjiro would've likely been in their grasp right now.

Just what did they want? Tanjiro wondered this for days on end.

He didn't understand. But everyone else who tried to protect him definitely understood.

As the constant pitter patter of raindrops filled his senses and dulled his mind, Tanjiro sighed and flopped onto the wooden floorboards while swinging his feet back and forth on the shallow puddles.

"Kamado!" Suddenly none other than Rengoku appeared on top of Tanjiro, plastering on his biggest smile as he scared the living daylights out of Tanjiro.

"Rengoku-san! Y-you scared me..." he sheepishly gasped, sitting up while staring at the muscular male.

"May I sit?!"

"Sure go ahead" Tanjiro gestured to the space next to him and shuffled slightly to the side, offering the flame pillar a soft smile.

Rengoku sat close as possible to Tanjiro and stared at the bleak garden. It was a particularly overcast day, creating a sort of suffocating feeling as the clouds drifted close to the ground.
