"I'm so glad"
--------------------
Tanjiro was comforting the weeping boy, with his soft smile as he looked at Inosuke.
It was around 10:05am meaning they didn't have long left. Inosuke realised it wasn't the time to weep. He needed to spend as much time as possible.

"Gonpachiro... do you wanna go on a walk..?" The boar asked wavering, averting his eyes the other way. The brunette questioned why he always looked away from him, it made his chest hurt like someone had shot him with a crossbow.

"I would like that but why do you always look away from me...?" Is there something wrong with me...?" The maroon eyed boy asked looking hurt, as his voice got quieter, he started to fiddle with his hands, becoming more anxious by the second.

"No... I only do it because I find it really awkward when asking you questions" Inosuke replied trying to look at Tanjiro but he couldn't, even if he wanted to, he just couldn't.
"I can't look at you in the eye because I'll just burst into tears" Inosuke continued, grabbing his boar mask so it made it easier looking at the brunette but he was too quick taking the mask away from Inosuke.

"H-HEY!" Inosuke yelled, his face turned from calm into agitated. Tanjiro looked at Inosuke with his beautiful maroon eyes, taking a breath in.
"You don't need the mask, you look really pretty without it" The brunette placed his hands on the boys head, giving him a comforting smile before leaning closer, kissing Inosuke on the forehead.

The boar was completely stunned, what just happened, his brain couldn't process a single thing, but a few words came out of his mouth without thought.
"Do it again" Inosuke retorted, leaning his head closer. Tanjiro chuckled, kissing him on the forehead again, he did it a couple more times before saying "Are we going on that walk now?".

Inosuke nodded but decided to move quickly, placing his lips against the brunette's, it was only for a short time but to the boar it felt like forever.

Tanjiro pulled away after a second trying to catch his breath whilst also comprehending what had happened right then and there. Inosuke was about to get up and get ready for their walk but the brunette pulled the midnight haired boy down to his level.

"Why can't we just do this for a bit longer" The brunette retorted leaning in closer towards the boars face, kissing him once more.
