A Forbidden Craving

Chapter 3 - "The Curiosity That Killed The Cat"

it was a chilly night. dark too without any clouds. today must have been pretty.

this is what ran through the bored demon lords head as he approached a dimly lit area. his bored frown turning into a curious smirk. he hadn't eaten in a while. and it seemed like someone might be here... good for me- very unfortunate for them~ 

Muzan had always taken pride in being in control. he had always loved seeing people bow and tremble before him. it was a guilty pleasure he held dear. he had just killed the "wife and child" of his after he had gotten bored but didn't bother to eat them. so if he did hold them dear they were gone. now it was just him. his desires and- a.. Hashira?.. well i must explore more!

"interesting.. lantern lit.. a mansion with traditional bare design.. no medical areas.. how quaint~"

i circled around and observed the place best i could. and watched the water Hashira stare off into nothingness at a little garden that seemed freshly tended to. with pretty flowers blooming everywhere. i do enjoy a good sight occasionally. but not as much as i enjoy a nice healthy meal~

i pace around and finally decide to make my move on the Hashira. he was spaced out and made for an easy kill. might as well not waste much energy to kill him. that was until he sliced off my hand.. and my head too which was a surprise..

it wasn't until my head landed that i looked around. my eyes saw a boy with- with such.. pretty features.. his eyes glimmered and his hair swayed a bit in the cold breeze as our eyes met. i lifted my head and put it back on my shoulders. no stopping for a moment to look away from the boy as i loomed over a bit. what was this.. feeling in my chest?.. a young demon slayer?.. why do i want more of this feeling? why?! WHY?! it makes me want to kill but- i... i cant bring myself to it. i begin to shed a tear.

"i-i... i-i need to go" i stammered as i leapt away. why was i shaking? those earrings. those hanafuda earrings! Yoriichi's successor? no.. no no no! this is bad.. but.. at the same time..

i looked back at the two from the darkness as the boy followed the Hashira nd returned to his room. i just needed to feel that again. that rush, that burn, that throbbing of my hearts!

i wanted that feeling again.. i needed it.. i needed HIM to feel it! he must be mine.. i need to make sure no one can touch him besides me..

so many centuries with just... emotionless feeling. numbness and anger ruling me. its time i take things into my own hands..

and so i leapt back to the clearing and saw the young swordsman sitting on his bed as i climbed into the window and crouched down looking him in the eyes as he was spaced out. but he must have saw me cause he blushed and his eyes lifted to mine a bit. it took him a minute before i saw him reaching for his blade. i swiftly stopped him and slowly got on top of the boy.

Tanjiro.. his hair.. his eyes.. his soft skin.. this feeling he ignites inside my chest. its like my body wants this. but i am confused. im curious. and im hungry for more.

before i knew it my eyes were trailing down his body. he was concealed by a mere robe. his body was much more relaxed. he shook in fear. this was everything i wanted! to watch my prey tremble before me.. i held his hands down and laid him on his back as i trailed my eyes back up to clash with his. we were both... panting?.. just then its like we both lost control. 

(S M U T  I N C O M I N G)

i pressed my lips to his as i removed one of my hands from his my hand gently gripping his hair and pulling him deeper into the kiss. i slid my tongue into his mouth without hesitation. the taste was one to savor. i didn't even know the boys name. but i knew we both wanted this. Tanjiro.. that's his name.. that's who i needed. that's who i wanted to feel in my arms and kill whoever he fell into.
