{Third POV}

Tanjiro woke up with a small yawn, the gentle sunlight peeking through the blinds and tickling his nose. He shuffled a little and felt a sudden pressure on his chest.

Wondering what it was, Tanjiro fluttered his eyes open to be greeted with Nezuko resting her hands on him while smiling with her eyes closed. The muzzle made it hard to tell she was smiling, but by the way the corsets of her eyes wrinkled and how her cheeks got more chubby; it was easy enough to guess.

"Good morning Nezuko, you're up early" Tanjiro giggled, smiling brightly. A smile much too bright for the morning.

It seemed Tanjiro didn't have much notice for his birthday. He didn't pay attention to the date very often, and he didn't think he really needed to celebrate the thing; it was just a regular day after all.

Tanjiro raised an eyebrow as his sister sat ok his bed and cuddled into his side; shuffling through the inside pocket in her kimono.

He said a muffled sentence and handed Tanjiro quite a messily drawn card. There were two stick figures on surface, one with long hair and another which was slightly taller and had short hair.

"Wow Nezuko! You made this... it's very good!" Tanjiro laughed admittedly, running his fingers over the ink. Nezuko puffed her chest out proudly and pointed to the shorter figure on the card then at herself. Then she pointed to the other then to Tanjiro.

A look of realisation swept across his face "ohh! That's you and me! It's very pretty!" Tanjiro smiled, opening it up and reading the contents.

'Ah this is Shinobu-san's handwriting' Tanjiro thought in his head. Shinobu most likely helped Nezuko to write the card since the girl couldn't write well.

"Oh! I almost forgot it was my birthday haha" Tanjiro laughed, patting Nezuko on the head.

She mumbled and heaved him to a stand, not giving him a chance to get changed before being pulled though the door "N-Nezuko! Where're we going?" Tanjiro yelped, not really having any say in the matter.

He was dragged to The garden where the three butterfly girls stood in a row smiling like crazy, they were clearly excited about something and vibrating with energy "good morning Tanjiro!" They yelled in synchronisation, surprising the boy a little.

"H-hello... are you guys ok?" Tanjiro asked with a sheepish smile, scratching his cheek a little.

They nodded their heads vigorously and suddenly revealed a medium sized box from behind them, a small red bow tied at the top.

Tanjiro's eyes sparkled, his nose catching the scent of almost all the hashira and a couple others from around the garden. Though he couldn't see them, Tanjiro knew they were there.

For the sake of it however, he decided to stray silent.

Tanjiro was extremely surprised how they knew it was his birthday though, let alone remember the day; it wasn't exactly important to him.

"Wow! Is this for me?" Tanjiro beamed, giving the girls his brightest smile. A redness spread across their cheeks as they watched him take the box gratefully "yep! Open it open it!" They shouted, huddling together excitedly.

Tanjiro blushed slight from embarrassment and sat down, the girls surrounding him as he opened it.

"Do you like it do you like it?!" They squeakled, waiting for his reaction. The boy lifted the item out of the boy and grinned with happiness. It was a handmade haori with an embroidery floral and butterfly patterned over a light blue fabric.

"We made it ourselves so we cold match with you!" Sumi exclaimed, affirmative nods coming from the other two.

"It's so amazing! This must've taken you ages! You're all so talented thank you" Tanjiro complimented, slipping it over his pyjamas while patting them all on the head.

The girls looked up at Tanjiro with admiration before they quickly remembered something "follow us! We've got you another surprise!"

'Here comes the embarrassing part' Tanjiro thought with a sweat drop, following the girl's nonetheless.

They took him to the back of the garden, where a quite a large clearing stood; in the middle was a cake surrounded by almost everyone "happy birthday Tanjiro!" Mitsuri yelled, grabbing everyone's attention from their own conversations to look towards the boy.

Everyone grinned at his surprised expression, satisfaction fuelling their egos. "You didn't think we would let you forget about your birthday did you?!" Shinobu laughed with a dainty smile, ushering him over to the cake as she tapped him on the nose.

"Thank you very much everyone" Tanjiro meekly voiced, all eyes on him as his face flushed from all the stares.

'So cute' everyone thought at the same time, watching as Aoi shoved the biggest slice of cake on his plate and proudly talked about her cooking.

The day went swiftly, Tanjiro received a selection of gifts throughout the day. He got a dead bunny from Inosuke, a silk dress from Mitsuri, Giyuu had given Tanjiro a little box of treats, Shinobu gave him yet another collar; except this time with a different design and a chain. This resulted in a mini war to break out before everything settled down again.

To continue, Uzui and his wives gave Tanjiro some jewellery to make him look more 'flamboyant'. Zenitsu painted a pretty stone he found on the floor for him... and many more.

As the day stretched on, Tanjiro had gotten tired from being stuffed with food and all the constant attention he was receiving. As a result, he had fallen asleep on Obanai's shoulder whom was sitting next to him; the pillar gently ushering his head on his lap so he could be more comfortable.

Everyone glanced at the two with a hint of jealousy, however that was overpowered by how cute Tanjiro was.

Everyone made sure to make a mental note of how cute he was that day. And so, Tanjiro's birthday had come to an end.
