Tanjiro and Zenitsu made their way to the mess hall and filled up their plates, they sat down at a random table and stuffed their face.

"I keep forgetting how good Aoi-Kuns food is.." Zenitsu mumbled, his mouth full of food.

Tanjiro nodded with a smile, and continued to eat swiftly.

"Tanjiro-Dono!" Someone yelled, it was a Kakushi member. They were standing around a corner, waving to Tanjiro.

Tanjiro waved back, thinking he was just being greeted.

"I need you to come with me!" The Kakushi said, waving him over this time.

Tanjiro hesitated for a moment, but reluctantly got up and said goodbye to Zenitsu. He followed the Kakushi member down the hallway to the infirmary.

They opened the door to F/n's room, she was still lying on her side with a dazed look on her face.

"F/n-San..!" Tanjiro choked, running over to his lovers side.

F/n was startled by the sudden noise, "T-Tanjiro-Kun...?" She muttered, feeling out for him. Her vision was still messed up, so all she could see was the distorted blurry figure of Tanjiro.

He held her hand to his cheek, tears filling his eyes. "I'm here F/n-San...I'll never leave again, I promise." He said in between sniffles.

F/n smiled warmly, "Please don't cry..it's my fault for being a burden.." F/n mumbled, tears falling from her eyes now too.

Tanjiro put his forehead to hers, "You are not a burden, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'll help you get better every step of the way." He assured her, placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

"They don't know how long it'll take for me to move around comfortably, or even walk for that matter." F/n said, a hint of sadness in her voice.

Tanjiro sighed, "I know, but that won't happen, you're strong, you will be able to walk again. I'll help you, I promise." He said, kissing her again.

"That's nice to hear..thank you, Tanjiro-Kun, I love you."

"I love you too."

Weeks had passed after F/n regained consciousness, her vision had cleared completely and she could sit up without assistance. They hadn't checked if she could walk yet, she didn't know if it was because she wasn't ready or if they weren't ready to see what would happen. If F/n couldn't walk, it could deal a great blow to the demon slayers.

F/n would make sure to stretch everyday, Tanjiro helping her. Occasionally, she'd try and get up during the night, but could never stand without holding onto her bed.

She'd cry in Tanjiros arms, asking why this always happens to her. She felt useless, like her entire purpose was just taken away from her.

She'd endure physical therapy everyday, being worked from the waist down. But she still couldn't walk, she still couldn't feel anything past the waist.

Demon sightings have significantly gone down after the battle at the sword smith village, no one knew why. They wondered if it was because the demon slayers delt a blow to the upper moons, and Muzan was scared, or maybe it had to do with Nezuko conquering the sun.

"Tanjiro-Kun...will you take me out to the garden..?" F/n asked with pleading eyes, she hadn't been allowed to go outside due to her current conditions.

Tanjiro looked hesitant, "I don't know..you're not supposed to, you know that." He said, kissing her lips softly.

"I know, but please..!" She pleaded.

Tanjiro sighed in agreement, patting her head and holding out his hand for her to take. She looked at it confused, "Aren't you doing to carry me?" She asked.

Tanjiro chuckled and shook his head, "if you're going to break the rules and go outside, you're walking yourself. With my help of course." He said.

F/n giggled, taking his hand and grasping his arm, taking baby steps towards the door. Tanjiro whispered words of praise all the way to the garden, F/n was doing it, she was walking!
