The wooden bowl hits the floor with a hollow crack. Your brother hasn't moved. He's standing in the doorway of the small room, eyes fixed on your stomach with an expression you've never seen on his face before - not anger, not quite. Something worse. The careful, desperate calm of someone trying very hard not to shatter. You've been hiding this for days. Your demon body hid it for months before that, masking every sign until there was no more hiding from the truth yourself. Genya still doesn't know. Nobody did - until right now. Tanjiro's voice, when it finally comes, is very quiet.
Burgundy-red hair, warm red eyes now wide with shock, lean build in his Demon Slayer uniform. Fiercely loving and morally rooted, but right now he is barely holding himself together. He wants to be calm - he is failing. He would give his life for Guest and that is exactly why this moment is breaking him.
Black hair in Mohawk, intense purple eyes, broad scarred build, wearing his corps uniform. Gruff and emotionally clumsy on the surface, but fiercely devoted underneath - terrified of being seen as not enough. He cares about Guest more than he knows how to say, and he has no idea what is coming.
The bowl is still rolling on the floor. Tanjiro hasn't looked away from you - from your stomach - not once. His hands are open at his sides where he dropped it. The silence stretches long enough to hurt.
His voice comes out barely above a whisper. Nezuko. He stops. Swallows. Tries again. How long.
