Trust yourself ! - Inotan/Tanino

Chap 5

POV Tanjiro :

The sun's rays wake me up from my sleep. I direcly look at Inosuke to see how he is : he's on his back against me and his head is on my arm. He has eye bags, but he looks peacefull in his sleep. He so beautiful.. I won't wake him up now, he needs to sleep. I gently kiss his head and put him closer to me. He moves a little, takes me in his arms and put his head in my neck. He sighs in comfort, as he could finally relax. I'm glad he can relax throught all of this mess..

I need to find a solution to this problem. But where to start ?.. I have to tell an adult about it, but Inosuke has to be okay with that. I don't want him to be upset that I told an adulte without him knowing. And mostly, I have to tell Himena to stop, and I'll do anything to make her stop. She can't keep doing that to him ! All of this, just because she can't go out with me ?! This is non sence ! Hurting and threatening someone to get something.. It's not human !!

Inosuke - *yawns* Why are you already angry this morning ?..

- S-sorry.. did I wake you up ?

Inosuke - Kind of.. but it's fine..

He's voice is so tiny... He tightens his grip on my shirt and sticks to me more.

- How do you feel ?

Inosuke - Way better than yesterday.

- I'm so glad I could help you Inosuke..

Inosuke - Mh..

I move my hand up to the back of his neck and start playing with his hair. I don't know why but I like playing with his hair over here. I don't think he dislikes it ; he fell asleep again. And he's making a noise like... a purr ?!.. He snores, but it's like a purr. What other type of cuteness can he show me yet ?!!! I'm going to die because of his cuteness...

What time is it by the way ?..... 10.40 am already ? I never slept so much before.. I won't get up now, I don't want to leave him alone in the bed while he needs me. So I stay layed down, and keep massaging the back of his neck.

I want to stay with him, make him smile, make him laugh, make him happy. I want him to feel safe when he's with me, I don't want him to be sad or hurt, I want to protect him. I don't want anything to happen to him, that's why I am going to make Himena stop, at all coast. I'm not going to hurt her, don't worry... unless she makes me do it.

Inosuke - Oi why did you stop ?..

- Wh-what ?

Inosuke - Keep doing what you were doing on my neck. It's an order.

- Yes sir !

And so I start massaging the back of his neck again. I didn't even realised that I stopped. Maybe because I was to deep in my thought.

- How about we get up Inosuke ?

Inosuke - For what ?.. *yawns*

- I don't know.. we could go in the living room ?

Inosuke - But I want to stay like this...

As he talks, he buries he head in my neck and mumbles. He's too cute... I say this but, I don't want to get up either. I never felt so good with somebody before.. I mean I feel good with all of my friends but with him it's totally different. I don't know how to explain it. I always want to be with him.. So this is how it feels to be in love ?..

- Come on Inosuke.

Inosuke - No !

I try to sit but he doesn't agree, and forces me to stay layed down by laying on top of me. I try again and he lets me do it, so I end up sitting with him on my legs. He puts his arms around my neck and stick his cheek on mine, while I hug him.
