☀ The Sunlight After The Rain ☂ [Muzan x Tanjiro]

Chapter 7

--------------------------------------------- ✂ ----------------------------------------------

Muzan walks Tanjiro back, they had a peaceful conversation as they walked. Tanjiro enjoyed the time he spent with Muzan, he thinks that Muzan is a really kind and sweet person. When they reach Tanjiro's house, Muzan waves goodbye.

Tanjiro though, steps on his tippie toes and give Muzan a sligh peck on the cheek. "Thank you for today." He smiles, as Muzan's face instantly flush a dark red. "I'd love to spend more time with you."

Muzan's stunned, but he somehow managed to figure out how to speak. "Like-- Like more than friends?" He stutters, his heart suddenly started to race against his chest. His nerves suddenly going haywire and bunching up like a bundle of yarn.

"Of course," He flashes the sweetest smile he could muster. "Darling." He says softly, as he unlocks his door. "See you, Muzan." He says, as he shuts the door behind himself.

Muzan only blinks and doesn't exactly comprehend what Tanjiro is implying. "Yeah-- yeah, okay." But he couldn't help but feel giddy and excited. Muzan was single, and alone, but-- he never thought that he'd find interest in a boy he met at a bar. "Okay." He repeats.

He lays a hand on his cheek, as he feel his face heat up more. No doubt, Muzan already has taken some liking to Tanjiro...

In that way.

Tanjiro watches out his window as Muzan leaves, and sighs a breath. Muzan is kind, and funny, and he has a sweet tounge. Will he be the one who Tanjiro will learn to desire?

☀☀☀

Tanjiro wakes up, rubbing his eyes. He lazily makes himself a cup of coffee as he opens the front door for his mail. As expected, it's gloomy as fuck and looks like it's about to rain. Though, he couldn't understand the people out of the road.

How can they endure the rain?

But, what was unexpected, was the bouque of roses that sat on his door step. Tanjiro was a bit confused as to who placed it here. It was freshly picked with the pretty pedals sprinkled with fresh rain. 

Did it rain the night before?

Tanjiro picked it up and shook the water droplets off. He blinks at the flowers, that showed a vibrant dark red. He couldn't help but be reminded of what Muzan told him...

Does this really look like his hair?

Isn't this a little too pretty to be compared to his messy hair...?

He brings it inside, and settles it down on the counter. As he pours himself the cup of coffee, Tanjiro couldn't help but take meekly glances at the batch of flower. He as to admit, it's pretty.

It's really pretty.

He sighs and turns away, slowly, he makes his way over to his large, window. He lays a hand on his window and stares down at the road. He takes blows on his coffee and settles it down on the coffee table near by.

Oh how he desired to be one of those couples...

He watches as they share tender kisses, and laced their hands together-- and just bathe in the warmth the other provided.

He shuts his eyes and turn away-- holding his hands close to his chest, because, can he really be like one of those couples? Is that something he truely can desire?

Isn't that a little too much?

Would that make him a little too greedy?

All of a sudden, he feel something warm on his back.

He's stunned-- and opens his eyes to the pretty sunlight that beamed down on his furniture. The light beams down on his back, giving him the familiar, yet unfamilar warmth.

It casted a glow, lighting up his whole living room. He's still stunned, and reaches his hand up to the ceiling, letting the sunlight shine down on the backside of his hand.

He whips around and presses his hand up onto the glass-- it-- it was warm. The beautiful light almost blinds his eyes. He's astonished, his eyes twinkling and sparkling, reflecting the sunlight.

For the first time in months-- in months... The sun shined.

For the first time in months, the clouds cleared up to show the pretty sky behind it. Tanjiro couldn't help but be mesmerised by the blue sky...

Oh god, it was pretty.
