Everything that happened..I didn't expect it at all..
Tanjiro thought to himself while laying with Inosuke.

Tanjiro rubbed his hand on Inosuke and felt how rough his back was, " Hm..?" Tanjiro put his head up looking at Inosuke's back to see it covered in scars.
" That's what they did..."

Tanjiro gently put his hand on Inosuke's scars, "Those evil people.. They hurt you didn't they?"
Inosuke slowly opened his eyes, looking at Tanjiro. "..."

Tanjiro softly rubbed Inosuke's back,giving Inosuke a kiss on the forehead " I won't ask you a lot right now, you're probably tired as well." Inosuke slightly blushed and held Tanjiro onto him, " Goodnight Tan-Tan."

Tanjiro quietly chuckled to himself, " I suppose that's my nickname now..Better than Gompachiro or Kentaro.." Tanjiro put his hand on Inosuke's chest and yawned. " Goodnight to you too, my boar man."

Tanjiro and Inosuke fell asleep, but, Inosuke started to dream about things that happened to him in demon camp.

Inosuke remembered in his dream about him being in a cell. The cell was so cramped Inosuke barely had any room to stand.

Inosuke only got fed once a week,and if he didn't eat it in the time they told him to they took the leftovers and made him wait longer to eat again.

The food they fed Inosuke was often moldy,expired,slimy and never kept him full. Because of Inosuke eating bad food and often getting hit by the cold weather through his bars he got sick more than once..

When Inosuke was sick, he wasn't allowed to make any fuss or noise about it.

Coughing or sneezing? He was punished.
A droopy nose or watery eyes? He was punished.

They believed Inosuke had been infected by a demon. They thought he either was a demon in disguise or he was slowly being infected...

Inosuke turned and tossed in his sleep, feeling cold shivers go down his body. Inosuke was breathing heavily, trying to sleep peacefully but his mind was focused on the cell.

Inosuke held onto Tanjiro tightly, spending the rest of the night barely getting any sleep...
