Third Person Pov:

Today was supposed to be an amazing day for Tanjiro. It was supposed to be a day that he'd remember for the rest of his life.

And, technically speaking, he was going to remember this moment for the rest of his life. Just not in the way, he thought he would.

"Baby!" Inosuke called from the living room, having been waiting alongside Zenitsu for the past twenty minutes for the younger. "Baby, hurry up!"

"If you looked behind you, you would have seen me waiting for you to turn around, dumbass." Tanjiro huffed, tying up his shoes and brushing a strand of burgundy hair out of his way.

"Shit!" Zenitsu screeched, placing a hand on his racing heart as he stared flabbergasted at Tanjiro's sudden appearance. "Tanjiro! You can't do stuff like that!" Zenitsu whined, cringing at the fact that he could hear his heartbeat in his ears.

"Like what?" Tanjiro snorted, grabbing his phone as the two finally stood up and put their shoes on. "I was waiting for you two."

"So, you're scaring people on your birthday, huh?" Inosuke snickered, locking the door on the way out of the house and starting the car.

"It's my birthday so I do what I want." Tanjiro declared proudly, sticking his tongue out playfully as Inosuke rolled his eyes.

You never did tell me where we were going." Tanjiro said, laying across the backseats since no one but him occupied them. "Anywhere special?"

"Obviously it's going to be special," Zenitsu answered, rolling his eyes playfully at the younger's curiosity. "But as they say, curiosity killed the cat."

"But, dear boyfriend, satisfaction brought it back," Tanjiro replied, closing his eyes as the sounds of the road filled his ears. There was just something about being in a car that made him want to go to sleep.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Tanjiro, happy birthday to you!"

"Happy birthday, Tan-Tan!" Zenitsu shouts, wrapping Tanjiro in a big hug and twirling him around. "It feels like ages ago when we first met."

"Oi, idiot," Inosuke called out, pushing through the swarm of people surrounding the two. "You'll make him throw up if you keep spinning him," Inosuke said, taking Tanjiro from Zenitsu and gently hugging the younger.

"Happy birthday, baby. We invited everyone which means a bunch of gifts for you."

Tanjiro beamed at the word gifts, he turned around in Inosuke's arms and looked over at the gifts in front of him. "Can we open them now? Please! I just want to open a couple!"

Everyone laughed at Tanjiro's eagerness. It made them so happy to see Tanjiro so excited not just on his birthday but anytime they saw him.

"Fine, we can open the gifts now but," Inosuke called after Tanjiro who was already reaching for the one closest to him. "that means no cake until after dinner."

Tanjiro weighed his choices. If he opened the gifts now, he couldn't eat the cake until later but if he waited and had cake now he'd have to open the presents later.

"Why can't I have both?" Tanjiro whined, holding the present closer to his body.

"Yeah, why can't cute little Tan-Tan have both?" Zenitsu said, joining in the conversation. "It's his birthday! Let him have fun."
