"Oy! Muichiro! Did you say you wanted whipped cream? I forgot haha" Tanjiro exclaimed across the living room."
"Yeah I'll have some but not too much. Just a small swirl. And marshmallows" The blue eyed male replied. He was sitting on the couch trying to find a good Christmas movie to watch, but they had already seen most of the classics.
"Got it!" Tanjiro replied in a cheery voice. A few minutes later he came back to the living room with two mugs, one that had a snowman on it, and the other which resembled santa's face. They both had steamy hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and marshmallows inside.
"Thanks" Muichiro said quietly, as he extended his arm to relieve Tanjiro of one of the mugs. It warmed his hands as he held it, slowly raising it to his mouth trying not to spill. He took a thoughtful sip of the warm drink as he continued to scroll through more movies, inspecting each one for a second, and then deeming it not worthy and moving on.
"Mui you have a whipped cream on your nose!" Tanjiro said, chuckling, as he pointed at a glob of whipped cream that had gotten on the smaller males nose after the first sip.
"Whoops" Muichiro said, wiping it off. He chuckled for a moment before getting distracted because Tanjiro had stolen the remote in one swift movement. He selected Home Alone, which they had watched before.
"Tanjirooo we already watched that" Muichiro sighed, kind of hoping to watch something new.
"I know but that was like two years ago. I need to refresh my memory. Plus it's a funny movie!" Tanjiro said knowledgeably.
"Fine" Muichiro huffed, but he wasn't really upset. In the end all he really wanted was to spend time cuddling with Tanjiro. He was too shy to say that out loud even though Tanjiro always emphasized open communication. Muichiro knew he would get his cuddles anyway so he didn't really see the need to say it out loud.
Almost as if reading his mind, Tanjiro set his mug down on the coffee table in front of them and scooted a little closer to Muichiro, wrapping his arms around his slender figure. Muichiro naturally shifted to perfectly fit the curves of Tanjiro's body, and his head fell on the shoulder of the red haired male. They stayed that way for a few moments, enjoying the warmth, and the beginning of the movie, before Muichiro fell asleep.
He hadn't slept that well the night before because Tanjiro had been away for work and Muichiro knew he would come back the next day, but he was still lonely. He couldn't fall alseep as fast without Tanjiro's arms around him. And so, he spent most of the night lying awake, waiting for it to be 3pm the next day so he could see his beloved boyfriend again.
Tanjiro managed to resist the urge to move, even when he got a little uncomfortable, being in the same position for almost two hours while the movie went on, because he didn't want to disturb Muichiro sleeping. He enjoyed the movie himself, and promised himself he would find another one they could watch together once Muichiro was well rested.
Not even twenty minutes after the movie ended, Muichiro started stirring. His eyes fluttered open, to Tanjiro admiring his gently featured face. "Good morning sunshine" Tanjiro said, somewhat sarcastically.
Muichiro looked out the window to see that it was dark outside now. He must have slept through the whole movie, he figured. He was about to ask Tanjiro if the movie was as good as he claimed it would be, when the red head started coughing. At first, Muichiro wasn't too worried about it since it was winter and the air was pretty dry inside their apartment.
But Tanjiro's coughing fit seemed to go on for longer than it should have, and Muichiro got up to get him a glass of water. He had just grabbed cup out of the cabinet when Tanjiro's shaky voice called for him from the couch.
"Muichiro?" Tanjiro said shakily.
"Yeah?" Muichiro asked, coming back to the couch with a glass of water.
The cup fell from his grasp and shattered on the ground as Muichiro entered the room and saw Tanjiro. His hands were cupped and full of blood he had just coughed up.
"Oh my god" Muichiro murmured. He ran to get a towel, as Tanjiro started another coughing fit. The blue eyed male came back shortly with a black towel and wiped Tanjiro's hands, before he took the towel from Muichiro and started coughing into it.
"I'm taking you to the hospital Tanjiro. I think you need to get checked out," Muichiro said worriedly, as Tanjiro finally stopped coughing. He nodded and Muichiro helped him off the couch.
Muichiro helped Tanjiro into the car and quickly started driving to the hospital, which thankfully wasn't too far away.
The red haired boy groaned softly. "My throat hurts..." Muichiro's eyes widened in alarm and he started driving faster. Then, Tanjiro closed his eyes and he collapsed against the car door.
