Kisatsutai/ An Inotan Story

Chapter 14

"NO DON'T TOUCH ME!" Tanjiro screamed sitting up. He looked around and saw Inosuke sat next to the bed he was lying on. He was in a house he wasn't familiar with. Inosuke looked at Tanjiro with worried eyes.
"Where are we?" Tanjiro asked, in sort of a daze
"Sanemi's house. Don't worry, I called your mom and told her what happened. We can stay here for the night." Inosuke added. Tanjiro looked outside the window and saw it was relatively dark outside.
"How long was I out?"
"A few hours. Three I'd say." Sanemi walked into the room and knelt down to Tanjiro. Against his rude demeanor, Sanemi really cared for Tanjiro. Sanemi pressed his hand to Tanjiro's forehead.
"Seems your fevers gone" He said as he took a seat next to Tanjiro.
"Now tell us, who was that guy?" Sanemi asked. Tanjiro sighed and looked at the floor.
"He...was my previous interest. Well I wouldn't call it an interest since I hated every moment we spent together" Tanjiro replied.
"Why'd you stay with him if you didn't like him?" Inosuke asked
"He threatened to hurt my family if I didn't. You see he's the one that caused my father to end up in hospital and die not too long after." Tanjiro replied. Inosuke and Sanemi's faces dropped.
"I'm lucky I wasn't alone there. I could've died" Tanjiro added. Inosuke wrapped his boyfriend in a tight hug and held him close.
"I'm so sorry Tanjiro" Inosuke mumbled.
Tanjiro's eyes widened for a second before quickly squeezing shut, tightening the hug between him and his love.
"Jeez get a room you two" Sanemi scoffed.
"Shut up. I should be asking you why you were at the festival but I have a feeling I already know." Inosuke smirked after breaking off from the hug.
"Say a word to Genya and I'll shatter your kneecaps" Sanemi growled. Inosuke chuckled. Tanjiro just looked at them, confused.
"Can I tell him?" Inosuke gestured towards Tanjiro.
"Hmff fine. Just keep your trap shut afterwards" Sanemi agreed. Tanjiro's eyes lit up as he expectantly looked at Inosuke.
"So correct me if I'm wrong but you were at the festival looking for something for Kanae weren't you?" Inosuke asked, not taking his eyes off Sanemi. Sanemi immediately stood up and walked up to the door.
"Not a fucking word. TO ANYONE." Sanemi growled before slamming the door shut behind him.
"Guess I was right" Inosuke smiled before turning back to Tanjiro
"So Sanemi and Kanae huh? It's a unique match but it's cute" Tanjiro said.
Inosuke looked at his boyfriend with content eyes before smothering him. Tanjiro fell backwards into his back, completely covered by Inosuke.
"Hmm?" Tanjiro asked
"Let's stay like this for a little longer. I missed your warmth" Inosuke muffled, face buried in Tanjiro's chest. Tanjiro looked at Inosuke and smiled.
"He's so cute" Tanjiro thought as he wrapped his arms around Inosuke.

Several hours later, Tanjiro woke up. Inosuke who was there when they had fallen asleep was nowhere to be seen.
"I wonder where he went?" Tanjiro said to himself, softly as he was getting off his bed. He opened the door and his nose was immediately overwhelmed by a strong scent. Curious, Tanjiro followed the scent to the kitchen. At the stove stood Inosuke and the source of the smell.
"Ino?" Tanjiro asked, still half asleep
"Oh you're awake? I was planning on surprising you when you woke up" Inosuke stuttered.

Tanjiro glanced over at the stove and noticed a pot full of something that looked like porridge
"You...made that?" Tanjiro asked
"Umm yeah" Inosuke sheepishly replied.
Tears filled Tanjiro's eyes. He could tell Inosuke put his all into making him porridge and it made him so happy.
"I can't wait to try some" Tanjiro said with a smile. Inosuke poured a plate and handed it to Tanjiro.
Inosuke sat across from Tanjiro, seeming to have stars in his eyes. He looked like a puppy waiting for his owner to throw a stick for him to fetch. Tanjiro giggled and took a spoon of Inosuke's porridge. Surely enough, it tasted bad but Tanjiro didn't care. Inosuke put so much effort into it. That's all that mattered to him.
"I love it" Tanjiro smiled, after clearing his bowl.
"YAHOO!" Inosuke yelled, jumping up and down.
"SHUT UP ALREADY! IF YOU'RE FEELING WELL ENOUGH TO YELL THEN GO HOME ALREADY!" Sanemi yelled from across the hall. Tanjiro and Inosuke both shared a glance before deciding to pack up their items and head back home.

Tanjiro and Inosuke shared stories and laughs along their way. When they reached home they stood in front of the door. Tanjiro was shaking slightly. Inosuke gripped onto his hand and held it firmly.
"Come on. I'm here" He assured Tanjiro as he made to knock the door. Before he could knock the door flew open and the two of them were pulled into an embrace.
"I'm so glad you're safe" Kie said, tearful.
"Thanks Mom" Tanjiro smiled, returning the hug. Inosuke did the same. The warmth she gave was similar to Tanjiro's. It was a comfortable, motherly warmth. After they separated, Tanjiro and Inosuke headed to their room. Inosuke was tying up his hair as he was getting annoyed since it kept obstructing his vision and he didn't wanna cut it. As he stood infront of the mirror he felt something somewhat light collide with his back. He turned to see Tanjiro's face buried into his back.
"T-Tan?" Inosuke asked, turning his whole body around so he could face Tanjiro. Tanjiro looked up at Inosuke with puppy dog eyes.
"I miss your lips" Tanjiro said, seductively feeling Inosuke's chest while saying it. Inosuke's face flushed red.
"W-we're at h-ho-" Inosuke was interrupted when Tanjiro closed the gap between them. Being shorter than his boyfriend, Tanjiro had to tiptoe to reach him but he didn't struggle at all. The kiss they shared was compassionate, really indicating that it had been a while since they shared a kiss. In fact, the kiss was so compassionate both sides wanted more.
Tanjiro pulled Inosuke to his bed and got on top of him.
"You're excited huh?" Inosuke smiled, trying to hide how much he was enjoying this moment.
"Don't act like you aren't" Tanjiro smartly replied before kissing him again. The shared a long kiss before they heard the door behind them open. The position they were in was already too precarious and there was no time to make it look like something else was happening.
"BIG BROTHER TANJ-" Takeo stopped mid-sentence at the sight of Tanjiro on top of Inosuke. He immediately ran out the door. Tanjiro and Inosuke shot each other looks before racing after the young boy...
