In Need of Something

A very late request I'm so sorry MarryMeGenya_ 😖 Anyway, this one is kinda short but it contains some spicy scenes sooo... 😏🤭🤭

Outside in the night, stars glittered in the black sky. Crickets chirped and cicadas buzzed. An owl cooed quietly in the distance. The hoot seemed to ricochet in your head as you worked tirelessly at the desk.

The quaint room glowed from the faint desktop lamp. The clock ticked and so far, everything was quiet. You tapped the keyboard and sighed.

It had been a long day, you were tired. But you were intent on finishing your work project, at least before bed. It was getting late.

You stretched slightly before resuming.

Tanjiro entered the room. For a moment, he admired you. You were so beautiful. He commended your dedication to your work. Your features were fixed in concentration. The way your gaze shifted across the monitor and the way your lips pursed ever so slightly had his heart racing. He loved you.

However, he was annoyed.

Not by you obviously, but by your work. You had been so occupied all day that he hardly had a chance to be with you all day. It was truly heartbreaking.

He wanted to spend some time with you, he wanted to be with you. And most importantly: he wanted your attention.

"Love? Do you need anything?" His voice came quietly when he made his way to your desk. You blinked and looked up at him with a smile.

"No, but thank you for asking!"

Your voice made his heart patter. But you resumed your work.

Tanjiro fiddled with the hem of his sleeves. He wanted to go to bed with you, or at least have more of a conversation than just a couple of words. He bit his lip. He didn't quite know what to do about his situation.

So instead of doing anything, he simply went to get ready for bed.

"Just, let me know if you need anything..." He rounded the corner of your guys' bed and pulled off his clothes, slipping into something more comfortable. He felt slightly embarrassed by his somewhat plan; his bare chest felt the chill of the room.

You hadn't noticed anything.
"Actually, can you bring me some water please?" You didn't look away from your work.

Tanjiro perked up.

"Of course!" And he left.

     Coming back, he appeared near your side and placed the glass down. You finally looked up.

   "Thank you!"

     For a moment, you hadn't noticed his appearance. But when it hit you, a sudden wave of confusion washed over. You tilted your head.

   "Aren't you cold?" You questioned, eyes trailing down. You didn't mind his display, but it was unexpected. What could he want?

     A flush flourished across his cheeks. The way you looked up at him— your eyes so round, and intrigued... they almost glowed with a certain type of love for him. He almost couldn't take it. But he couldn't back down now.

     His hand brushed over yours as he leaned in. His faint cologne wafted against your senses, the all too familiar scent making your heart race.

   "When will you be done?" He questioned calmly. He was inches away from you, you could almost lean in and kiss him. You glanced down.
