Tanjiro X Reader
Tanjiro stood before Y/n, a gentle smile on his face as her eyes teared up; her hands shaking. “Tanjiro, please...:” Y/n squeezed her eyes shut and leaned her head against his shoulder, muffling her cries. “Please, don’t leave me, not again!” Despite being so calm, Tanjiro wanted to cry, to hold her tight once again, there were so many things he wanted to say, but today wasn’t that day. “I love you.” it came out as quiet as a whisper. Leaning his head against the top of Y/n’s, he embraced her tighter, “I love you so much.” The stinging sensation reached his eyes but he didn’t pull away to wipe them. “If you love me so much, don’t leave, stay with me, we can live happily, they can send someone else!” She begged. Tanjiro felt her hands on his haori, gripping as if her life depended on it. It really did break his heart to find her in such a vulnerable state. Wishing to go back in time to make up for what they lost was something that can’t be granted. “Y/n, I have to go, I promise I’ll write to you as soon as I get the chance.” “Tanjiro… you don’t understand.” She looks up, her face stained from the tears, he pulls back, ready to reassure her again. “I’m...pregnant!” It felt as if the whole world stopped spinning, the Butterfly Manor fell quiet. “I-I didn’t know when I was going to tell you, just every moment didn’t feel right, please reconsider your decision!” “That’s wonderful, Y/n. I hope they look just like you." He combed Y/n's hair with his fingers, "You're beautiful, don’t ever think otherwise.” He pushed her h/c hair away from her eyes, to think she could still be ever so cute while crying. CAW CAW, TANJIRO KAMADO, HEAD NORTH, HEAD NORTH! Looking up to see the crow circling in the sky, being loud as ever. “Well, Y/n. love you. I won’t be gone for long,” He pulls her away so effortlessly, still smiling as if everything is okay. “I’ll make it back home, I promise.” With that, he kisses her forehead and is gone. Day turned to night quickly, Y/n waited by the door, patiently waiting.Those days began to turn into months and Y/n’s anxiety rose. Aoi and the girls reassured her daily, he’d come home soon to be there for the birth of their child. As she waited, she didn't have the strength to go on, Aoi and the girls forced her to eat, walk outdoors, have her on her feet, just to get her mind off of Tanjiro. Throughtout the months she had gotten a few letters back, though they seemed to become shorter and shorter, the letters becoming more sloppy and blunt. *** On the day of the baby’s birth, Y/n screamed out her frustration, the emotional pain couldn’t be bottled anymore, she gripped onto her clothes; cried and cried, face flushed pink as she did that fateful morning. She felt lightheaded, her vision almost blurred. Y/n could feel someone touching her shoulders, she could hear a faint angelic cry. The room became silent but echoed cheers and gasps from everyone around her. “I’m so proud of you, Y/n.” The new mom looked up with whatever strength she had left. Her love stood there with the same innocent smile, the weight of her shoulders crumbled off of her. "It's a boy!" He finally came home. ** Sorry I felt this was out of character, but I wanted to write something sappy and edgy. lol
