Chapter Text
Tanjiro slowly awakened. He felt sick and his first thought was 'fever.' He stumbled to the bathroom in their small apartment. "Ugh.... Gyu always goes to hard..." he slightly whispered as he rubbed his lower back.
He felt puke coming up quickly. He rushed to the bathroom and leaned over the toilet bowl and the burning puke came up from his stomach. As soon as he stopped, he puked again. He got up weakly. He remembered. He forgot his to take his fucking birth control. As tears started to fall. He remembered. Male pregnancies were very rare. He breathed and thought maybe he was just sick. Then wiped his tears away. But to make sure he got out a pregnancy test and went to the toilet. "Ok, maybe I'm just getting hormonal. Maybe I'm just getting close to my rut..." he slightly smiled hoping that was the truth.
He took out a pregnancy test from the medicine cabinet. He sat down and peed on the small stick. He waited and waited. He came back 30 minutes later. He looked at the test. There were two pink lines. "Fuck" Tanjiro said. He looked at his stomach. He kind of wanted it. He would just think about it while watching some tv show on the tv. he slightly limped to the bedroom. Luckily Gyutaro was a deep sleeper.
He sat there watching a show. On the show he was watching there was a pregnant lady. When she gave birth she was tired but ecstatic. He wanted that feeling. He wanted to feel the weight of his child in his arms. He looked over to his sleeping boyfriend. He thought of the symptoms of pregnancy. He was feeling this for weeks. He realized he as at three weeks pregnant. He said his boyfriends name while shaking him. "Mhhhhh.... Tanjiro its too early for this..." Gyutaro said turning to the side.
"It's 8 a.m."
"Too early..."
"Please get up. I have something to tell you."
"I swear to god if it's another lecture that I 'go too hard' or 'its breakfast time and I should make you breakfast' shit I don't wanna hear it baby." Gyutaro said slowly getting up with a scowl.
"Its something important Gyutaro." Tanjiro said looking at his legs.
"Huh? Why the fuck did ya' call me Gyutaro and not 'gyu'?" Gyutaro tilted his head in confusion.
"Uhm.. I'm - uh..." Tanjiro felt his throat getting dry making it hard to speak.
"Well? Spit it out." Gyutaro said fully awake now.
"Well- Um- I'm pregnant. A-and I- uh want to keep it..." Tanjiro said looking up to his lover.
Gyutaro looked horrified. His mouth open in shock. He got out of the bed and walked over to Tanjiros side of the bed and yanked him out of the bed. He dragged Tanjiro to the door he put on his shoes and coat. And forced Tanjiro on some pants and shoes.
"Stop! Where are we going! Let me go! Please! Gyu! Where are we going!" Tanjiro pleaded with tears.
"We're going to the abortion clinic! I don't want that goddamn baby!" He said gripping Tanjiros wrist tighter.
"Stop! It hurts! You're hurting me Gyu!" Tanjiro said trying to pull away while hot tears ran down his face.
Gyutaro just gripped tighter. But somehow Tanjiro managed to wriggle from Gyutaros grip. And he quickly went for the doorknob. He quickly sprinted out. And he continued sprinting down the hall.
"Tanjiro! Wait! I'm sorry!" Gyutaros pleads faded away into the background.
Tanjiro soon found himself at Tomiokas door. He knocked and then wiped his tears away. The door opened.
"Hah? Brat? What the hell are you doing here?" Sanemi said while leaning on the door.
Tanjiro sniffled "Is Mr.Tomioka here?" Tanjiro said weakly.
"Huh? oh- Uhm-" Sanemi looked behind him "Yeah. He's here"
"Is he busy?" Tanjiro asked
"Hey shitface ya' busy? One of your brats are here!" Sanemi slightly yelled behind him.
"Nope, I'm not busy right now. Since you're already at the door you can let him in" It was a little muffled, but Tanjiro could still make it out.
"HAH?! Why don't you do it!?" Sanemi said angerly.
"Just do it."
"Uhhh" Sanemi made an annoyed sound.
Sanemi moved so Tanjiro could get in. Tanjiro walked into the slightly familiar room. Sanemi walked to the bathroom so he could continue brushing his teeth. Tanjiro continued to the small table with three chairs around. He sat beside Giyuu.
"Is something wrong Tanjiro?"
"Yes.."
"What is it then?"
"I'm pregnant and I want to have the baby.."
"Oh. Well congratulations then! Hope the pregnancy goes well!" Giyuu smiled slightly. "Then why were you crying if you wanted it?"
"Gyutaro... Tried to.... Uhm- he tried to take me to an abortion clinic..."
Giyuus eyes widened with shock and anger.
"HE DID WHAT!?" Giyuu yelled setting down the tea cup he had in his hand aggressively. Sanemi came out of the bathroom trying to see the commotion.
"Hah? What the fuck is happening out here?"
"Tanjiro is pregnant and Gyutaro tried to force him into an abortion!"
"What!? That punk ass prick..." Sanemi said grinding his teeth

"I fucked up didn't I Ume?" Gyutaro said sitting on Ume's chair.
"Hell yeah you fucked up! Your BOYFRIEND wants the child but you tried to force him to have an abortion! Yea you need to apologize jackass!"
Gyutaro continued pulling at his hair and scratching his neck. He was on the verge of tears. He really didn't want to hurt Tanjiro. He really didn't want to. He loved him. He was afraid. Afraid he would end up like his mother. He didn't want a child to go through the things he did.
"I-I just don't wanna end up like our mother..."
"You won't! You'd be a great dad. If you tried not being an asshole."
"Ughhh... And we live in a small apartment.. not enough money to even raise the goddamn child."
"Didn't Tanjiro say he would get a better job once he graduated college?"
"How is he supposed to graduate with a child in his stomach!"
"I mean he passed his class last year with a deadly fever. And on top of that had surgery for his really damaged ribs."
"I'm gonna call 'em and tell him we can go to our apartment to talk."
"mkay' just make sure you don't fuck up this too!"
Gyutaro pulled his phone out of his pocket and clicked 'Lovely ;3'. The phone started ringing.
'hello? Gyutaro?'
"uhm- hey Mr.Tomioka. Is Tanjiro there?"
'He doesn't want to talk to you right now' there was faint sobbing in the background.
"Please put him on the phone.."
'... Tanjiro... He wants to talk.'
there was silence for a moment.
A sniffle 'Gyu?'
"Hey baby! I'm so glad to hear your voice!"
'What do you want?'
"Can we meet back at our apartment?"
'Mhm.'
"Ok! I would like to talk to you!"

There Gyutaro was. Sitting on their bed where they were just a few hours ago. Soon enough there was the sound of knocking. Gyutaro hurried to get up and almost tripped on the way there. He opened the door. There he was. The red head. The love of his life. Tanjiro! Gyutaro was quick to embrace his boyfriend. But Tanjiro didn't hug back. Gyutaro let him in.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Tanjiro asked tilting his head to right.
"Well- Uhm- I-I'm here to apologize to you."
It was clear that Gyutaro wasn't the best at apologizing and didn't plan it at all.
"I'm sorry I uh- tried to make you go to the clinic.." Gyutaro looked down frowning. "I was just afraid that-"
He swallowed the lump in his throat.
"I was afraid of becoming my mother... and I don't want that for any child to go through what i did as a child.."
Tanjiro frowned. Feeing sad for Gyutaro even though they had talked about it multiple times.
"Gyu.... you could've just said that! I would've understood that!" Tanjiro said smiling and clasping Gyutaros hands in his.
Tanjiro pulled Gyutaro into a hug. Gyutaro hugged back lovingly. Tanjiro pulled away and kissed Gyutaros cheek.
"Do still want me to get that abortion?" Tanjiro said frowning a bit.
"... Hmmmm... Nah. If you want it so bad you can have it." Gyutaro smiled slightly.
Tanjiro was ecstatic! He pulled gyutaro into a very loving and long kiss. And they pulled away smiling.
