Hey, from the first time I met you. I’m lost in space. What you see is through the filter…
Of the night sky.
What you’d never expect would be somebody who’s obsessed with fighting and just being an overall obnoxious person, to fall in love with the complete opposite.
Tanjirou runs through the forest, his hand in Inosuke’s. He can’t help but think to himself.
‘It’s so dazzling, to take your hand. I’ll take you to the dark..’
They soon come crashing to the ground, their figures fumbling on top of eachother as the scenery erupts in echoed laughter. Tanjirou sits up, his eyes catching Inosuke’s.
He admired the way his eyes glimmered in the dark. His eyes were as bright as the stars.
Inosuke suddenly grabs his arms and pounces on top of him as he laughs giddily. Tanjirou wraps his arms around him and rolls him over so that he’s on top of him. He leans down and catches his lips in a quick chaste kiss. Inosuke feels stunned for a moment as Tanjirou looks up at him with that look—of admiration.
He can’t handle it. It’s too much. This feeling…
What is this feeling?
It’s like he wants to stay with him forever.
Please, don’t divert!
Let’s go find the ending.
He’s never felt this way, the way Tanjirou’s lips are shaped. He wants to kiss them forever.
Wait there! Through the stars…i’m going to see you right now. To protect your dear pain.
He starts to cry. His eyes burned from this new feeling. Tanjirou crawls off of him and lays down on his back, his hand in Inosuke’s. He points at all of the stars and shows him each constellation, while Inosuke points out each and every bug surrounding them. He points out the noise of the crickets, to the bright illuminated fireflies flying around them.
Tanjirou squeezes his hand lovingly, grabbing Inosuke’s attention as he was in a trance while talking about his favorite wild critter.
Inosuke looks at him, tilting his head. He traces his scar with his eyes, each sharp line and curve entrancing him, but what really put him into a spell would be his eyes. His bright burgundy eyes piercing into his body. He can’t move.
A few seconds later Tanjirou stands up and holds out his hand, waiting for Inosuke to grab it. He does and Tanjirou smiles at him. He starts to walk around, exploring the night sky and all of the wonders in it. He picks up the pace and starts to run down the hill, looking back at Inosuke and giggling. Inosuke smiles back and throws his head back, closing his eyes and feeling the cold breeze through his hair. He suddenly stops running and stares at Tanjirou, his hair’s now a mess, and it’s all in his face.
Tanjirou blushes shyly and shakes his head. He sits down with Inosuke and runs his hands through the blue silky strands. Inosuke is so crazy, but somehow his hair stays perfectly soft. He’ll never know how he does it. How he’s so perfect. His heart can’t handle it. He’s too beautiful. He always wonders to himself how he was so blessed to be able to meet such an amazing person—like him. He closes his eyes and listens to the crickets chirp in the night.
He suddenly feels something hit his lap. Inosuke fell asleep. He looks down at him and strokes his head, feeling each strand in his calloused fingers. He’ll never know how lucky he truly is, will he? Inosuke is perfect in Tanjirou’s eyes.
Nothing will ever change that.
So please wait!
While burning life..
I’ll go see you again and again.
I can’t even breathe.
I’m in love with you.
