In the quiet moments between battles, Tanjiro finds himself wondering if the future can hold the one person who makes his heart feel at peace— you. Tanjiro Kamado feels a deep, unspoken longing for you, his heart aching with a desire to protect you and share a future together.The sun was beginning to dip beneath the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the forest as they walked along the narrow path. The soft rustle of leaves echoed in the quiet of the evening, but it was the presence beside him that caught his attention the most. With his calm and steady demeanor, you always managed to bring a sense of peace to his heart, even in the most difficult moments.
As they walked, he glanced at you from the corner of his eye, the feeling in his chest tightening, a familiar warmth spreading over him. His heart would always beat a little faster when you were near, when you shared the same space, even if you didn't speak much. He could never quite explain it—why his thoughts would always drift to you, why his chest would tighten when you smiled or laughed.
"Do you ever wonder... about the future? What it'll be like after everything's over?" he began softly, his voice barely above a whisper.
His question hung in the air, but he wasn't sure if he wanted an answer. It wasn't so much about the future itself but about you being in it. He couldn't imagine a future without you. The idea of it made his heart ache in a way he hadn't quite experienced before. Was it because of the bond they had formed, the hardships they'd faced together? Or was it something deeper, something more permanent that he didn't have the courage to name?
He stopped for a moment, the quiet evening wrapping around them. The air felt thick with unspoken words, with emotions he didn't know how to express. He turned his head slightly, catching sight of your figure standing there, so effortlessly at ease. Everything about you made him want to protect you, to be there for you, in the most meaningful way possible.
"You're... important to me," he murmured, almost too softly for anyone else to hear, but he meant every word. He didn't know how to say it properly, how to put into words what was growing inside him. All he knew was that when he was with you, it felt like everything made sense, like he could truly breathe for the first time.
He took a small step closer, his heart pounding. What if he could tell you, just once, how he truly felt? What if you felt the same way?
