As the moon rose high into the night sky, sitting amongst pearly stars and a black abyss, you followed aimlessly down the halls after a certain someone. Calloused hands held yours so gently, like you were but a flower's petal swaying in the spring breeze. He squeezed consecutively before glancing back at you with a warm smile that lit up even the darkest of shadows. Although, moonlight poured through the open air when you two rounded a corner to reach the veranda outside. The rosewood creaked under your feets while you both padded through his estate. Not a single sound could be heard aside from your delighted quiet giggles and a single owl cooing far in the distance. But, you two remained silent, a sort of thrill passing through you with your "secret" adventures in the night.

Your master and long-term partner Tanjiro was excitedly mentioning throughout the day about his surprise he had planned for tonight. You didn't think much of his surprise until you were getting ready for bed and waiting for him to join you. Ever since that night that seemed to change the trajectory of your life, you spent all your time with him. He brought so much joy to your life you truly couldn't imagine living without him. He was kind and lighthearted that you learned new sweet things about him every day. He made you laugh and treated you like you were the only one for him. By now, he had long disregarded your title as his tsuguko and now only called you his: his love. Although you still trained and worked under him, sparring only ended in a bundle of laughter with him smothering you in kisses and apologizing for any injuries. But you never minded his handling of you, his cherishing after made up for it. For now, these days with him consisted of pure love and content that you could almost dream you were two lovers residing away from any of life's worries.

Just like currently, he led you to the end of the patio and stopped, his arm falling slack and releasing your hand. With a wide smile, he turned to you before grasping for your hands again. You looked up at him expectantly. The moon highlighted his complexion in an ethereal glow, stars puddled in his eyes to make them shimmer with pure love. He lightly swung your hands back and forth while falling into a bashful expression. It was all so adorable you couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, can you do something for me love?" His words fluttered against your face as he tilted his head in such a demure way. You drew your thumb over the back of his hand.

"Of course, I'd do anything for you Tanjiro."

He smiled before pulling you close into his embrace. His arms wound around your waist to keep you near, head resting on your shoulder to nuzzle into your neck. He inhaled deeply before slowly sighing, his chest rising with yours to subtly guide your breathing too. For a moment, his comforting embrace left you with a deep sense of security that you couldn't help your eyes from falling closed. This touch reminded you of all those nights you spent in his arms being waded to sleep with his comforting breathing. It almost felt like those nights, where you fell asleep in his arms feeling nothing but content. Most of all, being this close enabled you to feel his heart resonate with yours. After a couple of moments, he pulled away. He stayed close when a different look cast his wine hues. He leaned you back with him so that your body had no choice but to utilize him as support-- which you didn't mind. He rocked you gently before a mischievous smile flourished across his lips. His hands fell down to your waist before he slowly started to turn you around until your back was pressed against his chest. For a moment, your heart began to race, your eyes widening ever so slightly, In just a simple night gown, you could feel his entire warm body seemingly burning your own. He was just so much taller and bigger than you that a small notion of excitement flashed through your body at the thought of him encompassing you whole. And your thoughts weren't helped when he leaned near your ear and rested his chin on your shoulder. Shivers went up your spine. In a low voice, starkly different from earlier, he spoke.
