Sprinting through the corridor Yushiro held the soup bowl in his hands tightly. Tamayo was nervous that he would drop it because she knows how angry was Yushiro, but he insisted on bringing it to Tanjiro himself. Tamayo was wracked in nerves from head to toe anyway, because Tanjiro was sick. She believes that I she hadn’t called him during the rain Tanjiro would be resting or even helping her because besides fever his wounds were still not healed.
“Hey, Yushiro,” he said. “What’s that you’ve got there?”
His voice sounded much better than the day before.
“It’s soup for you,” Yushiro answered in annoyed manner. “So you feel better. Here’s the spoon.”
Tanjiro took the spoon out of the bowl. “Thanks, Yushiro, but I still not feel well , so I’ll just drink it.”
“Don’t thanks to me say all thanks to Lady Tamayo”
Just suddenly a door opened revealing Tamayo standing with her beautiful warm smile. “Good morning Lady Tamayo, thank you for the soup it was great I’ll be just fine in a few days.”
With a nod she turned her attention towards Yushiro. “Yushiro why don’t you go outside and look at the belongings we needed and after that can you please clean the kitchen and hall?”
“Y-yes,” Yushiro nswered. He put the bowl down and left the room. Tamayo waited until he went around the corner, and then shut the door with a sharp click.
“Are you all right?” Tanjiro asked .
“No,” Tamayo whispered shakily.
“When I took the temperature you have very high temperature Tanjiro. This fever is explained.If I hadn’t been allowed you to return , you would not have gone wet during thunderstorm. I would have stopped you.”
“Yes, you would have besides I think I would have resides inside wisteria crest secretly without knowing anyone but asking the person who was handling it ”
“I know Tanjiro but-“
“No but Lady Tamayo I knew you haven’t sleep properly because of me and I don’t really preferred it whenever a person do like this andI know when you found out that I had high fewer two nights you were besides me while I was sleeping peacefully.”
As Tanjiro says Lady Tamayo couldn’t speak , Tanjiro could see saddened in her eyes , he immediately grabber her and asked her to sit beside her. “Lady Tamayo I know how sad you are about my health but please don’t worry about me I will be just fine within few days but can you feed me soup just like my mother, I really missed her”.
“Yes.”
Lady Tamayo handed the bowl to him and he drank most of it in three gulps. He smiled.
“Is this one of your’s medicinal soups?” he asked.
“No stupid, it’s just soup,” she answered
That noon Lady Tamayo still couldn’t sleep properly just thinking about Tanjiro but suddenly she remembers that Tanjiro’s birthday was within two days hence she immediately called Yushiro that they are going to the market .
The same day, Yushiro and Tamayo went downtown to do some grocery shopping. They were going to make Tanjiro the best cake . It was going to be flavourful, warm, and make him feel great. Then, Yushiro was in charge of choosing the plate they would serve it to him in. Tamayo took him to a vendor that sold plain ceramic bowls and plates, because they were going to paint it themselves. Then came buying the paint. Tamayo picked red, because it was the color of his family and it also reminds her Yoriichi how he saved her from Muzan . And, so the rest of the day, Yushiro and Tamayo at the kitchen table and painted the bowl while Tanjiro was sleeping.
After Yushiro painted the bowl red, he watched as Tamayo carefully inscribed the kanji for “love from mother ” in black paint. Yushiro still annoyed as he doesn’t like Tamayo in worried situation so he next night took the plaus bake the colors on permanently in the charcoal furnace. He had to let it cool and harden for an entire day, and then we’d put the plan in motion in the night. But before Tamayo went to bed , she had to check on Tanjiro. His voice had returned to his normal strength but his fever was still coming and going. She then knelt next to him, pressing a cold washcloth to his forehead.
“Why do you smell so excited?” he smiled and raised an eyebrow playfully.
“Damn your great sense of smell for the god sake please stop smelling our senses or I will definitely kill you one day”
“Yushiro!”
“ So-sorry just kidding”.
The next night Yushiro was practically vibrating as he didn’t wanted lady Tamayo to get tired. He jittered around as Tamayo started to make the dough for the cake . Tamayo looked down at him, also unable to suppress my smile but only saw nervousness in his face.
“Yushiro if you are nervous you can take rest” she says .
“I-I am okay …” he answered .
Finally, the cake was ready, it took them almost an hour to bake . Yushiro wanted to hold it , but Tamayo insisted that she will carry.
They walk the corridor towards his room as Tanjiro’s birthday was approaching . When Yushiro got to the door, he threw it open with a loud whoosh. Tanjiro, who was lying down, suddenly sat up with a start. Tamayo peered through the door way but hid the plate off to the side so he wouldn’t see it.
“Hey, Yushiro ,” Tanjiro said . “What’s going on?”
Tanjiro could clearly see and smell nervousness on his face but before he could say something Yushiro tried to say “ I-I no w-we dammit”
But Tamayo suddenly brought her full body into the doorway, plate in hand.
“Happy Birthday Tanjiro ,” she laughed.
Tanjiro looked puzzled for a second, then grinned ear to ear when he rememberthat it was his birthday , tears started to roll from his eyes. Tamayo immediately placed the plate down next to him and took her kimonoto wipe his tears.
“Tanjiro don’t cry it’s your special day remember it”.
“By the way It was Lady Tamayo's idea so thanks to her” Yushiro announces
“That was an excellent idea! I love it!” Tanjiro laughed. “I can’t wait to find out what it tastes like.”
Yushiro and Tamayo waited for him to eat the bite of cake , then he put down the spoon next to him. He wiped his mouth with his hand.
“Was it good, Tanjiro?” asked Tamayo.
“It was delicious,” replied Tanjiro happily. “Thank you. I love you both so much and thankyouformakingmy birthday memorable.”
Tamayo jumped in the bed and hugged him. While Yushiro first hesitated but Tamayo grabbed him and embarrassed his into same hug they lasted for few minutes after that when it was time to leave Tamayo asked Tanjiro.
“Tanjiro how are you feeling”
“Lady Tamayo right now I am fine but my body hurts a lot it feels like my whole stamina has gone due to which I sometime couldn’t sleep properly in night But, that’s okay, because that’s not the real present here. The best present I could ask for on my birthday is the love from both of you. . But, family… there’s nothing more important than that.”
“It’s okay Tanjiro you will be fine few days.”
She then led Yushiro to his room so that he could rest then she turned around towards Tanjiro and sat on his bed while Tanjiro’s head on her lap but after sometime Tanjiro had fallen back asleep. As she saw she took the blanket and covered him up again, then leaned down and pressed a tender kiss to his forehead and then went to her room with a big smile on her face.
