Sit Next to Me


Tanjirou finds them like that when he finally returns, flushed in both adrenaline and joy. Nezuko had long fallen asleep, curled up around Shinobu to the sound of her heartbeat.

"Ah, Nezuko!?" he fussed, crouching. "I'm so sorry, let me just move—"

Shinobu cupped his cheek to shush him. "No, it's alright. Let her sleep." She looked him over, patting the space closest to her as she did. "Come sit."

Tanjirou hesitated. "I'm all sweaty."

She raised her brows at him. "So? Come here so I can dry you off, silly."

Realizing her intention, Tanjirou could only smilingly indulge her.
