Your a monster but I still love you || Tankana || DKT AU

Hello readers, it's Kanao. :)

It's been a while since Tanjiro became a human again. He now lives at Nezuko's estate and I often visit him.

To be honest, my feelings for him have grown bigger and so has the voice in my heart. I mean, what is there not to like about him?

I love his big amber eyes and warm smile. I love the way he looks at me. I love the way he can say everything that I need to hear. Tanjiro is different in a good way.

Today he wanted to hangout but it seemed different to all the other times. He wrote me a letter saying:

"Dear Kanao,

I invite you to hangout with me. This time it's going to be special so make sure that your prepared. Everyone else will come but I'd like to be with you alone for a few minutes. If you would not like to be alone then I also respect that. Just make sure to come.

From, Kamado Tanjiro."

I don't know what he is planning to do but he's got me curious. I looked in my wardrobe. My elder sisters liked to dress up for special moments and so did I. I began to browse through my clothes.

Just then, something caught my eye. It was plain and simple but it had sentimental value. It was a pink kimono Shinobu had bought me. It was perfect.

I put my hair in my usual side ponytail and attached the pink, and green, butterfly clip.

I dont know what Tanjiro hoped to do but part of me hopes that he confesses his love to me. I don't think he likes me yet all these delusions appear into my head. Is this what love feels like?

I waited for Aoi to get ready before leaving. Today she looked different. She let her  black hair lose and attached her purple butterfly clip to the back of it. She was wearing a blue outfit which complemented her eyes.

After a while, we finally arrived there. We all hung out as usual but I noticed Tanjiro looking at me. I was scared to look back at him but when I did he showed me his kind smile.

"How are you both not dating yet?" Aoi asked.

"I wonder." Inosuke added.

"Let's go see the flowers!" Nezuko exclaimed as she looked into the distance.

There was a big field. It had all types of flowers and even some other plants. It was surprisingly empty. We all followed Nezuko as she led us there.

As I walked through the field, I couldn't help but admire the flowers. Especially the pink tulips.

Just then someone sneaked up behind it me - it was Tanjiro.

"Do you mind if I put this in your hair?" He asked holding a small flower.

I looked at him. He knew how to make a girl like me lose my senses.

"I-uh-uhm..." I said quietly trying to get the words out my mouth.

It took me by suprise. A boy like him would want to put a flower in my hair. In MY hair. I began to panic.

"It's ok if you don't want me to. I understand Kanao." He said looking a bit dissapointed.

"No its not like that. I was just a bit suprised. If you want to put the flower in my hair, you can go ahead."  I said.

He then gently touched my face as he put a light pink flower in my hair.

"It suits you!" He smiled.

"I'm sure it does." I said.

"Tanjiro! Over here!!" Zenitsu shouted.

"See you Kanao!" Tanjiro said as he smiled.

I just stood there frozen. I was admiring him for as long as I could. His bright amber eyes were still looking at me as he walked away. It felt like everything was moving in slow motion. It was just me and Tanjiro.

"Nice flower." Inosuke said teasing me.

"I wonder where you got it from." Aoi added.

Aoi was like a big sister to me. Ever since I had came to the butterfly mansion she took care of me. Even after Kanae's death and when Shinobu was busy Aoi, still cared for me.

Inouske was like a brother to me. Ever since we fought uppermoom 2, we began to understand eachother better. Inouske was the first person I told about Shinobu purposely sacrificing herself.

However, Inouske and Aoi did not have a sibling relationship. It was more of a romantic one.

"Same. I do wonder where those blue flowers are from." I replied.

I don't really know how to respond when someone teases me. I usually just imagine what Aoi or Shinobu would say. It always ends up working.

Aoi and Inosuke were now both fully red and looking away. It was easy to figure out what had just happend.

"Who asked who out?" I asked.

"Nobody asked no one out." Aoi replied, still feeling embarrassed.

"Do you know anyone who's good at asking people out? I was going to ask one of you but you guys aren't brave enough to do anything yet." I said.

"Kanao wants to ask Monjiro out?" Inosuke responded, trying to act suprised.

"Could you please tell me how." I said.

I really wanted to ask Tanjiro out. I had to know if our feelings were mutual. I wasn't brave enough but I'm sure I'd get the courage from somewhere.

"Just be honest and say what you really feel." Inouske suggested.

"He's right." Aoi added.
