"So? Why did you want to see me?" You asked as you raise an brow, crossing your arms and leaning on your right leg.

That question made Tanjiro go stiff. Which didn't go unnoticed by you, causing you to squint your eyes at him for a split second. "W-well..um-I.." Tanjiro stumbled on his words, his maroon eyes moving everywhere but you. And the most greatest thing happened before your eyes. Tanjiro eyes rolled to the back of his head, his brows scrunching up as if it was part of an frown and his cheeks puffed out as he gritted his teeth together, including a little double chin.

"I wanted to say hello..!" Tanjiro words were a bit muffled, but you could hear it clearly still. Yet, you didn't care about that. All you care about was what kind of face was Tanjiro making.

"Really..?" You asked, clearly unsure.

Tanjiro couldn't even say the words anymore, the pain for him getting worse already and causing his face was almost red as a tomato. The only thing he could manage is a struggled nod. You were pretty much confused on why the burgundy-haired boy was making that..painful..scrunched up..face? That's when it hit you, was Tanjiro lying? Cause it looks like he seems bad at lying. Sighing again, you told Tanjiro to look at you in the eyes. Tanjiro did as you said, struggling pretty much with his painful, scrunched up, face. "Don't lie to me, I can tell you're lying." You bluntly said, staring at him dead in the eyes. You were probably guessing Tanjiro was one of those..honest people, but thinking about it, he seems to be pretty much that type of person. After you said that, his face went back to the way it was. He sighed, feeling relief from the pain he had immediately felt when he made that face. "I..I wanted to ask you something.." Tanjiro nervously said, slowly looking down instead of you. He found the ground interesting instead.

You silently waited, not gonna expect the unexpected question. Tanjiro breathed in and, "I wanna cuddle with you for tonight..!" Quietly yelled with a flushed face, his eyes closed so he wouldn't have to see your reaction.

You stared at him with a dot eye face, before going back to your blunt face.

Sighing once again, you hugged him. Which surprised Tanjiro, looking down at you to see that your hiding your face in his chest. You puffed your chubby, (s/c), cheeks out as you nuzzled your face closer into his chest.

"I..don't know how to cuddle.." You mumbled, a embarrassed, pink, hue on your cheeks.

Tanjiro was already at his limit of his face heating up. His face was burning like a fire hazard, very red to the point where it reached his ears. He also started worrying a bit if you could hear his heart beating, cause he could pretty much hear his own heart beating loud and fast. But Tanjiro had to focus on one thing he asked for, to cuddle with you.

Slowly but gently, he wrapped his arms around your waist. His hands—no—his arms felt shaky, he was panicking, yet, at the same time he was was happy. After he wrapped his arms around your waist, he slowly stepped backwards towards your bed. It also looked like you got the idea, since you also started taking steps forward each time he took a step back. Laying down on the bed, he turned both himself and you on your sides. He slowly pulled you closer, putting his head on top of yours. You didn't know why, but you felt warm on the inside. Finally able to go back to sleep. Your eyes felt heavy, slowly closing and feeling relaxed.
