'I love the night sky, it always helped me get my mind off things, like work and bills. It somehow calms me down like magic. You know, I never liked your father I was forced to marry him when I was young.'

'Really?' 

'Mhm! Once I met a nice man under the night sky, we eventually became friends! As years passed by I figured I actually had feelings for him, not any kind of feelings they're special feelings, feelings that you'll feel one day, at the right time, with the right person and maybe under the night sky like me!'

'Woah... I hope I can meet that special someone soon! Mommy?'

'Yes, sweetie?' 

'Where's that nice man right now?' 

'Well.... he's in a better place.' 

'Can I meet him?' 

'Maybe, but not now, maybe in the future.' 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It took me a few months to understand what my mom said 'In a better place' but I really wished I could have met him, I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't realize that someone is standing beside me. Once I felt a sudden weight on my shoulder I grabbed the arm by the elbow, turning it so that whoever or whatever I grabbed, is now facing the ground with me at its back. Once I was knocked back to my senses I recognized the burgundy and black hair.

"H-hello L-L/N-san.. ow..." Tanjiro muttered out squinting one of his eyes "Oh hello Tanjiro." I blankly said as I let him go "Apologies about that instincts." I said as he checks if he has any broken bones "Oh no its fine I should be the one apologising since it was my fault that I didn't say anything about me being next to you!" he quickly said waving his hands side to side. Silence filled the air as I look back up to the sky while Tanjiro stares at me, I started having a feeling that Tanjiro wanted to ask me something I sighed at his feeling of curiosity I faced him, it seemed as if he was studying my features... whatever "Tanjiro is there something you want to ask?" I asked.

TANJIRO KAMADO's P.O.V: 

L/N-san shifted her [E/C] and purple eyes towards me, her features looked so angelic under the moonlight that was reflecting the sun, her eyes looked like it was shimmering, her hair swayed perfectly with the cold breeze, her [S/C] looked so soft to touch, while I was studying her features I didn't notice the heat on my face despite the cold wind, but something about her made me question.

Why did she suddenly woke up? Why is she just standing here in the middle of the night? Why is she so sad? Why is she mad? Why does she feel so, empty? Most importantly is she okay?

I wanted to ask so badly but I figured that it might bring back bad memories of her past like what I did with Shinobu-san, a voice called out snapping me from my train of thoughts "Tanjiro is there something you want to ask?" L/N-san called out almost as if she was reading my mind "Oh! uhm, I was just wondering...." I stopped my myself to think properly 'Should I really ask her? She might be uncumfortable with sharing it with me.But then again you'll never know once you try!' I thought to myself giving myself a little encouragement I was once again cut off from my thoughts when L/N answered with a hum "Oh I was just wondering what are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" I asked scratching the back of my head 'I don't think I should ask the question that seem a LITTLE too personal.'.

As I waited for my answer L/N-san took a sit on the ground and continued to look at the night sky that was filled with stars. "Well, I guess I enjoy looking at the sky when its night time?" L/N-san answered she seems confused about herself "Or maybe its because my mother taught me how to love the night sky." she answered once again but with a little more confident I nodded as I took a seat next to her "What was your mother like?" L/N-san suddenly asked "My mother? Well she was a beautiful lady, she was very kind and caring. Although she would scold me if I did something bad or made her worried, unfortunately Muzan came to my house one day and slaughtered my siblings as well as my mother, he turned Nezuko into a demon and now I'm looking for a cure to turn her back into a human." I explained she only nodded "I'm sure if she was still here she would be very proud of you for making this far." she says "Thank's L/n-san" I thanked "What about your mom?" I suddenly ask without thinking. 

I saw her flinch a bit "My mother? Well, she was a beautiful woman a kind soul married to a devil." she said with a hint of venom in her voice "Your father?" I asked unsure if I should be asking "Yup, and HE doesn't deserve the title of 'Father'. My mom did had a choice to marry him." she said her anger slowly turned into sadness by the mention of her mother. I'm guessing her father treats her and her mother very badly "Tanjiro I have something to ask." she suddenly said as she looks at the sky then back at me "What is it?" I answered curious about her question.

"What exactly is love?"

'Does she not know what love is? Or does she not know what it feels like?' I thought I was expecting a question but I wasn't expecting that kind of question "If you don't want to answer it it's fine." she said "No no I was just not expecting a question like that! And love is a set of emotions and behaviour characterized by intimacy and commitment, it involves you caring, being close, being protective, finding yourself attracted to everything, and trusting that one person a lot." I answered "I see...." I heard her muttered under her breathe 'She looks so.... cute.' I thought as I stared at her beautiful features "We should go back to sleep." I say standing up L/N-san flinched at the word 'sleep' "Y-yea lets go." she stuttered 'Weird' I thought but shrugged it off, we both headed to the room and got in out beds "Goodnight L/N-san!" I whispered to her "Goodnight Tanjiro." she said back and not long after darkness took over me
