Meliorism: The belief that the world can be made better by human effort
»»———————————————————««

Sitting atop the grassy hill which towered upon the vast flatlands of Japan, you watched the golden sun rise to hang in the morning sky, it's warm rays making the fields of wheat glitter with light. The tall strands of grass tickled your exposed ankles, a gentle breeze sweeping your hair past your shoulders as you awaited.

The very same hill you were sitting upon was the one where you had first met your lover, where you had shared your first date, where you had shared your first kiss, and where your life had forever changed for the better. And now, basking in the safety of the rising run, you awaited his return.

You were nothing like the brave man whom you called your lover, instead awaiting his return every morning as he'd come rushing to you with a bright smile and arms outstretched. Tanjiro truly was a blessing to you, and a blessing to the world, as he was capable of putting an end to the rise of demons.

Tanjiro's resolve to cleanse the world from Kibutsuji's evil hold was only strengthened when he had met your calm soul, vowing to protect you with every ounce of determination flowing through his veins. You had watched him quickly rise through the ranks of the demon slayer corps, becoming more powerful each and every day.

So when he left every night to dedicate himself to slaying demons, you had no fears of him failing to return, for he'd always return to you. The both of you shared a promise to protect one another in the ways you could, and that you'd always be there for each other every single day.

You may have not possessed the strength and power to wield a sword of your own, or to utilize any breathing techniques, but encouraging him to do his best, and presenting loving affections always seemed to cheer his soul. When he'd promised to return to you every morning, you also promised to await his arrival for as long as you both lived.

And those promises were forever kept.

Catching sight of a few figures approaching from the golden horizon, you instantly recognized the green and black checkered haori that belonged to your lover. Jumping up to wave your arms enthusiastically, they broke into a sprint to climb the grassy hill, leaving the other two men far behind.

When Tanjiro finally reached the hill's peak, slightly out of breath but still maintaining his blinding smile, you eagerly rushed to crash against his muscular frame. Feeling his arms wrap around your waist, your feet pushed up to lean your face close to his.

"Welcome home!"

Placing a gentle peck against his lips, you returned the smile with an equal passion, clinging onto the man with everything you got. Tanjiro placed a delicate kiss of his own to your forehead, ghosting his lips over the skin as he nuzzled into your hair. His hanafuda earrings swayed in the gentle breeze, feeling the soft strands of your hair tickling his cheeks.

You could feel the curve of his lips curling to soften his smile, and the warm feeling of you held tightly in his embrace allowed his heart to beat, solely for you. It pulsed quickly against your own chest, and you placed a hand over the organ to calm his rising chest.

Seeing you awaiting the hill of memories for him every morning made his love ever-growing, and he'd promised himself he would put an end to the world's suffering just to see your smiling face, without having to worry about the threat of you being taken from him.

So he clung desperately to your calming figure, knowing the world will become a safer place one day, and that he wouldn't have to await just the morning to see you once again. Things would change, and then he would truly show just how much he loved you: being able to embrace you, and see you, and kiss you at any time of the day.

"I'm back!"
