Poor Boy [Tanjiro x Reader]

🌸 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟 2 🌸

Tanjiro smiled warmly as the young girl stirred in his arms her eyes fluttering ever so slightly as sunlight kissed her (S/T) complexion, "Tan...jiro." she purred in her sleep the boy felt a familiar flush of red creep up on his soft face.

He hesitantly brushed his slim fingers through her hair, his burgundy eyes studying her sleeping face the way her plump lips parted as she snored quietly, her cute nose that wiggled subtly in the cutest way when her face scrunched up.

His fingers moved down to the lips he longed to kiss gently brushing the soft surface of her lips his eyes lingering on longer than they should have, He felt himself unconsciously leaning in slowly his warm breath tickling her lips softly "Tanjiro." She said more clearly her eyes fluttering open.

The boy flushed a deep red as he pulled away his burgundy eyes staring deeply into her (E/C) orbs, "I'm sorry did I wake you?" He asked staring down at her with a soft smiles his hand cupping her cheek his thumb brushing the smooth skin of her cheek, he noticed a few blemishes on her skin a pimple here and there but they didn't effect how beautiful she looked especially when she's bathed in sunlight giving her skin a beautiful ethereal glow.

The girl shook her head slowly the corners of her lips curling into a warm tired smile, "how long have you been awake?" She asked inquisitively cocking a curious brow stretching her spine as she pulled herself up slinging the blanket of her body, Tanjiro smiled sheepishly scratching the back of his head a soft blush dusting his cheeks "I'm sorry you seemed so at peace I didn't want to disturb you," he responded raking his slender fingers through her messy bed hair carefully brushing out the knots out of silky locks (y/n) felt her face flush a deep shade of red "thank you," she replied quietly a faint smile spread across her face,

He admired how beautiful she looked for a minute before the familiar sound of a sliding door drew both their attention to a frail figure standing in the doorway, "Do I need to have the birds and bees talk with you two?" Lady (L/N) remarked in a teasing tone and let out a hearty laugh a gummy grin spread across her wrinkled face, The two children exchanged a bashful sideways glance their benevolent faces flushing fifty shades of red as they jumped out of bed apologising profusely shaking their heads,

Her grandmothers laughter became louder echoing through the halls of the family compound, "grandmother," her grand daughter replied in a sharp tone her lips pressed into a disgruntled frown she stared at the ground bashfully hiding her embarrassment, "(y/n) and I would never do anything out of wedlock especially so young," Tanjiro replied bowing on his hands and knees his red face pressed against the floor boards,

The elderly woman raised an eyebrow eyeing the boy through her beady eyes her lips curling into a mischievous grin as she leaned on her wooden "are you suggesting you would marry my grand daughter." She pried poking the young boy with the tip of her cane, his vibrant burgundy eyes widened as he sat up his head hanging low shoulders slumped forward, "if one day she would have me a simple poor boy as her husband than I'd be honoured to call her my wife," he replied in an airy tone his stomach fluttering as if he swallowed a swarm of butterflies,
