Servant

Guys I enjoyed writing this and I think this is actually the first part that doesn't have smut in it omg 😧🤯🤯🤯 anyways, to be continued bc I couldn't leave y'all hanging after saying I would write more 😞💔 Enjoy‼️‼️

     You had everything in the world.

     Everything you could've asked for, was yours. Anything you wanted, you had. 

     Most of your days were dreams. Traveling, sightseeing; the world was yours. You conversed only with people who could relate, which were not many. Sure it got lonely, but it was nothing a quick spend couldn't fix. You spent most of your time on your estate: studying, painting, and leisure in your many gardens.

     But amidst this, you had a secret. There was one thing, or rather person— a forbidden person you couldn't have:

     Your servant.

     Many days you spent making up excuses to see him: "can you help me find this?", "can you bring me this please?" It was a never ending routine that eventually, he sort of, stuck around most of the time. Obviously it was his job. But you wanted something beyond that. Something more.

But it was wrong. These feelings you had, you couldn't act on them. What would your family think? You and him were in completely different worlds! They would never allow you to be involved with him outside a servant and the member of a prestigious family.

Yet, you wanted him.

Tanjiro Kamado was a kind man. He never minded doing endless tasks for your family. He did things he wasn't even asked to. He was soft spoken and he always smiled. He enjoyed spending time with you. He was a beautiful person, inside and out. So caring and considerate, it was obvious why you had such a fancy for him. Although he'd never notice, nor should you act upon it.

But many nights you spent thinking about him, about every interaction you had with him that day. His voice, his mannerism— everything he did made your heart race. You imagined different things, had different questions. What would his touch feel like? If you two were different, how would your lives be? Could you be together? You wondered. You dreamed until sleep took hold and daybreak quickly came so that you could see him again...

It wasn't until one evening, reading in your garden, that things came to a head.

"Would you like some tea?" A warm voice asked. You looked up with a smile, heart racing from just seeing him.

"I would like that if you can!" You cheerily responded. Your eyes followed him as he left.

      The aromas of freshly spritzed flowers: roses and peonies, dappled the garden. Flourishing ivy and shrubs scaled the walls to enclose the surroundings in a green wonderland. The evening sun casted pinks and yellows over the land; cicadas and crickets began to gently buzz at the coming of nightfall. In the distance, the moon glowed and stars began to glitter in the sky.

     Once Tanjiro came back with your tea, he stood off to the side. He fidgeted with the ends of his sleeves; a darling gesture you couldn't help but smile as you brought your cup to your lips. Your heart swelled when the taste of the tea was exactly the way you liked it; he always knew your favorites.

   "Would you like to go inside? It's getting dark..." He softly asked, looking at you with concern.

   "I think I would like to stay a little longer... if that's fine with you?" You responded, turning to look at him.

   "Anything you want Miss Y/n." He dipped his head politely. Silence fell. An owl began to coo in the distance.

     You closed your book and looked up at the darkening sky. Now, deep blues and purples washed overhead, the moon floating in a pale raft. You looked over at Tanjiro only to find he was curiously looking at you. When caught, his eyes widened and a blush quickly flourished across his cheeks. You smiled and motioned to the spot next to you.
