Tanjiro and Inosuke have been friends since grade school. They almost never left each other's side. But now being in High School both of them had gotten busier leaving less time to spend together. But today they were both free to finally be together after what felt like months.
Tanjiro rode his bike down the street with a smile plastered on his face. He was finally getting to see Inosuke! “It feels like forever since we've seen each other” ,Tanjiro thought while making some of the final turns to Inosukes house.
After a few more minutes Tanjiro finally arrived at the Hashibara household. He swiftly parked his bike in the driveway and started walking to the door. Tanjiro thought,“Inosuke said he’d leave the door unlocked for me right?” With one turn of the doorknob Tanjiro had proven his theory correct.
Tanjiro walked into the home,feeling a sense of security. Suddenly he heard a faint song coming from the direction of Inosuke’s room. Tanjiro listened to the song while faintly creeping down the hall. Now he could hear a voice in the song. “Is that Inosuke singing?” Tanjiro thought, “No it can't be i've never heard him sing,”
Tanjiro stopped at the location of Inosuke’s room. He confirmed that Inosuke’s room was the source of the song. He stopped to listen, Sitting down and leaning against the door listening to the song.
It was a beautiful song with a deep means of love. Tanjiro loved the song and when it came to a close he got up. He turned the doorknob and there sat Inosuke on his bed, guitar in his arms. There was a look of shock on the blue haired boy’s face.
“You didn't hear that right?” ,Inosuke questioned.
“I did,” The other boy stated “It was beautiful”
Inosuke looked terrified.
“Who were you singing about?” Tanjiro asked, “You sounded so into it so it had to be about someone!”
Inosuke stuttered,”I’m not telling you!” He stood up.
“Is it Zenitsu?Aoi?” Tanjiro pressured.
‘No!” Inosuke yelled, Tanjiro flinched in surprise from the sudden noise.
“I'm sorry I shouldn’t have pressured you,” Tanjiro heard Inosuke mumble something “What did you say?”
“It's you, idiot!” Inosuke yelled, “I was singing about you!”
Tanjiro froze “Me?” he stuttered out. “Do you,” he paused “love me?”
Inosuke sat down his guitar and walked over to where Tanjiro was standing. Inosuke grabbed the other boy’s face and kissed him. Tanjiro froze in surprise but kissed back. Inosuke’s arms slithered around Tanjiro’s Neck, Then Tanjiro pulled away for air. The kiss was short and sweet.
Inosuke looked away from Tanjiro’s face, desperately trying to avoid eye contact. But then Tanjiro pulled Inosuke into a hug. “How long?” Tanjiro asked.
“Years.” Inosuke muttered into Tanjiro’s shoulder.
“Well I love you too,” Tanjiro stated. He pulled away from the hug and gave Inosuke a kiss on the cheek. Inosuke let out a sigh of relief and Tanjiro smiled.
“I love you Tanjiro Kamado.”
