Poor Boy [Tanjiro x Reader]

🌸 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟 16 🌸

Tanjiro stirred restlessly he puffed his chest out an annoyed look on his face heaving out a heavy sigh, carefully pulling himself up on to his feet surveying the room through a pair of curious eyes, it was a simple room with white painted walls walls a picture or three hanging crookedly on the walls paint chipping one picture caught his eye it was a painting of a beautiful geisha laying in a bed of flower petals, the corners of his lips curled into a small smile as he noted the resemblance the painted lady shared with his beautiful fiancé,

She had long silky (h/c) coloured locks pulled into an elegant traditional Japanese hairstyle, her vibrantly (e/c) coloured eyes seemed to follow him around the room he tilted his head as he stood up walking towards the painting studying it with a glassed over look in his eyes, he frowned as the familiar face in the painting made him yearn for the warm embrace of his fiancé's arms, he glanced at the door,

Carefully tiptoeing over time the sliding door flinching as the floorboard beneath his feet made a loud creek, he paused momentarily holding his breath waiting to hear a familiar pair of footsteps he could hear his sisters' sharp claw-like nails scratching the inside of her box and the comforting sound of the howling wind that blew wildly outside his window making the glass rattle,

He breathed out a sigh of relief placing a hand on his chest he could feel the furious pounding of his heart beating against his chest through the palm of his hand, he carefully placed a hand on the door sliding it open slowly he placed a hand over his mouth muffling a surprised yelp, Koji had pulled up a stool positioning himself in front of the burgundy haired boys room Tanjiro felt the corners of his lips twitch upwards,

He carefully removed his Haori from his shoulders blanketing it over the sleeping raven-haired boy, Koji was slumped over in his seat a peaceful expression on his slumbering face he clutched a long piece of bamboo cane in his tight grip, his broad shoulders were tense he had his arms crossed over his chest each arm was layered with scars that travelled from the palm of his hands to the top of his toned biceps, Tanjiro grimaced as he watched a string of saliva drip down his chin he gave a look of disgust carefully tiptoeing around the slumbering giant,

He froze when his companion began to stir in his sleep grumbling under his breath "T-tan- g- off her- horny teenage-" he whispered under his breath, his brows furrowed together tightly as his face scrunched up a look of dismay on his pale features, Tanjiro swallowed the nervous lump in his throat carefully creeping around the boy who was guarding the hallway,

The corners of his lips curled into a gleeful smile as he successfully tiptoed his way over to (y/n) room he wiped his clammy hands against the fabric of his pants, "(y/n)" he whispered as he slid the door open poking his head in cautiously his burgundy eyes examining her room it was almost identical to his guest room, (y/n) slept peacefully a look of bliss on her slumbering face,

He studied her (s/t) features that were illuminated by the moonlight that crept through the crack of her open window giving her face an ethereal like glow, Tanjiro carefully slithered into the room closing the sliding door behind him carefully (y/n) stirred in her sleep nuzzling into the warmth of her blanket a look of contentment on her peaceful face Tanjiro smiled cautiously crawling into the warmth of her bed,
