good 💕 ( he smiles, still cupping the others cheeks )

genya — ? ( he can tell the other isn't looking at him , looks like they're looking... above him? he isn't aware genya is looking at his forehead. )

is there something behind me? is that why your looking past me? ( he can't tell they're staring at his forehead , he's short after all. )

<— has been sick

He's fine just a fever and sore throat. He cannot speak from the sore throat... OH! he doesn't want to be a burden to his starlight... 👉👈

if it's to help him then tanjiro isn't too worried about the taste, besides his partner is making it so he appreciates it 💕

tanjiro doesn't even question it and sips the tea when handed to him. a small smile when kissed on the forehead. it's good for him since the tea is soothing his throat a bit.

once they sit , tanjiro gently leans against them. " hmm... " thinking for a bit. " just your company. " he softly responds with a tired smile.

he suspiciously takes a sip of his tea more once asked how he got sick. he might have an idea how but let's not tell genya. " i'll be more careful starlight. "

he's caught off guard hearing genya say his name, causing him to choke a bit on the tea he was sipping. " i- augh... thought i already said? " he knows he didn't, oh he's coughing a lot.

when the coughing finally eased up tanjiro let out a heavy breath. " maybe it's due to me training.... " voice trailed off a bit as it not wanting to finish the sentence but he did, just in a more quiet tone. " .... in the rain..... "

" but! i need to train as much as possible starlight— " he whines out to genya. it's not fair he needs to train whenever possible to get better after all. " i mean— at least it was the rain and not me training with a fever again— " he basically told on himself for past events.

" the fever was a while ago genya--" he whines out more, but he knows the other is right. " but—but— huff i know... " he sets the tea down before laying back down.

" starlight, i take care of myself— " except for when he trains to much but he won't say that. " careful genya you might get sick from kissing my forehead — "

" i don't have a fever right now... do i? " he asked , unsure now. it's been a bit since he's taken his temperature so he could have one and not realize. " are you sure? i'd be sad if you got sick because of me... " 💧

" i'm not going to train, i'll rest... for now. " his cheeks light up a bit as genya kisses it. " still, i'll feel bad if you somehow get sick. "

" well,,, if you're sure i'll trust you. " he responds in a gentle tone before leaning on genya a bit.

Hug tackles 𝐆.

he plants a gentle kiss on their cheek. " happy birthday~ "

he's here!
