#'but if you're going to speak to Kamado. please try not to make yourself too obvious'

[kingkatsuki]

Oh Jo... Jo i have it all plotted out Jo.

Genya doesn't ever formally introduce you to Sanemi. Mostly because the first time you actually see and meet Sanemi he is yelling terrible shit in Genya's face, and threatening him to get the hell out of the demon slayer corp and it makes you see RED.

However, you probably know more about Sanemi than any of the other Hashira because Genya talks about him NONSTOP. And while you are madly in love with genya you wish he would just... give up on his brother. Give up on trying to be the strongest for him because it's clear his brother doesn't want him there.

"Siblings are supposed to take care of one another. Kamado told you that Genya."

But no matter what the conversation is, Genya always defends him so you're always at a loss.

And then the next time you formally get to have a conversation with Sanemi he's come to your home in the rain, kneels before you with a heavy heart and head to tell you that Genya is dead. And there's nothing left of him.

and you scream and shout and throw punches that feel like tickles to the wind hashira. You tell him you hate him. Tell him he should feel guilty, should feel all the pain and hurt he's feeling now. that he deserves it for ever speaking to the only family he had left in that way. and the nail in the coffin.

"I wish it had been you."

And of course Sanemi, still on his knees before you, never looking at your tortured angry grief filled expression only replies with three words.

"So do I."

and then there's a flash forward five years later where Sanemi comes back to your home to visit for the five year anniversary. And of course you've grown by then and you feel regret for the awful shit you said to him. So you allow him to stay for tea and to sit in the garden under the Wisteria tree you planted in Genya's honor.

And Sanemi learns of your love for his brother. how pure and real and deep it was for him. How lucky his brother was to experience a love like yours and so young too.

And you've always had a bleeding heart, especially when you look at Sanemi's face and into his eyes. he looks so much like him, like the only man you've ever loved. How could your heart not soften for him?

And for the first time ever, you're able to see him the way Genya always saw and spoke of him.

And slowly but surely... you find pieces of him to love as well. Not like how you loved Genya. Never. No one could ever replace him in your heart. your soul belongs to him.

But...you can't help how much... brighter the world feels when Sanemi is there helping you in the garden or fixing leaks on your roof. Because in essence... who else but Genya's brother could understand the immense pain of losing him?

And besides...two broken hearts together are better than one.

Oh my god Marq but please😭 just the thought of helping each other heal, and it’s like you know you’ll both never truly get there but it helps?

I just picture a moment where you finally think you’re okay? And you’re out shopping, something completely mundane— until you see sunflowers and the thing that used to fill you with so much joy is practically a trigger to you now. Because Genya used to buy you sunflowers— he used to say you reminded him of the sun. So you find yourself breaking down in the middle of the busy shopping street and you have no idea where to go so you just run— and for some reason you end up outside the Shinazugawa estate, and Sanemi is home.

And you don’t expect him to invite you in so easily, to sit you down at his kitchen table and wordlessly lay a warm mug of matcha in front of you. He waits for you to stop crying, doesn’t try to comfort you and doesn’t utter a word. But he offers you a piece of ohagi when you feel like you have no more tears left to cry.

“Do you ever just… miss him?” Your throat is raw from crying so hard, the top of your yukata soaked with tears.

“Every second.”

[samrsgyi]

Why? [ Kamado Siblings ]

Samrsgyi note: Hope everything's okay with you guys, but just imagine nezuko and tanjiro with a suicidal reader can you imagine 😰

Tanjiro x Nezuko x Suicidal! Reader

( Shinobu is mentioned )

Reader is 13 years old

Warnings ⚠️: Angst, hurt/comfort, mentions of suicide, fluff at the end

Summary: Y/N feels numb from rengoku's death knowing that she now suffers from PTSD and anxiety. The Kamado siblings are worried about them and try to figure out a solution to help them calm down and make it through with some comfort.

( Nezuko can speak in this one but it's not an au!!! )

Enjoy🫀!!!

It was just like any other regular day. You had lost the sparks in your eyes since rengoku's death. You never wanted this to happen, you wanted him to live but I guess that was all a lie. You headed into the butterfly mansion to go into one of the beds and snuggle up with the blanket covering you. Your eyes filled up with water and started pouring out of them. Today you were supposed to help Aoi with folding the sheets but you were too sad to. Tanjiro was outside training for the final selection while Nezuko was just sleeping in the box. Nezuko was sleeping until something interrupted her nap. It was something that sounded like soft cries and short gasps. Nezuko got out of her box and saw you snuggled up in the bed and crawled over to you. She sat on the bed and poked you. You got startled and realized it was only Nezuko.

" Oh hi Nezuko-chan, you okay ?"

" Mhm "

" That's great."

You smiled with tears still rolling down your face and you slightly starting to calm down and keep your composure. Nezuko looked confused and hugged you. You put your hand on her head and held her close so that she wouldn't go.

" Are you ok y/n, you're...crying "

You paused for a moment and remembered seeing rengoku covered in blood. It scared you so bad that you could fully imagine it happening to any of your friends or the rest of hashira. You finally found your voice

" I'm fine it's just y'know allergies got me. "

"...Are you sure? It doesn't look like allergies to me at all."

" I-I-I...I'm just feeling a little numb from rengoku's death."

" Oh..."

Nezuko felt bad for you because usually she had dealt with her brother going through emotional numbing and bad memories but, never you. She leaned in to give you one more hug and you held her tightly making sure to loosen your grip a little bit making sure she doesn't leave. You don't wanna have to lose her as well nor anybody at all. You were gonna make sure it never happened. Soon as then you heard footsteps from inside you looked to see who it was when you were still hugging Nezuko. It was tanjiro. He looked at you and saw you crying and a sad smile went on his face and he rushed to you to give you a hug. He hugged you tight knowing that you needed comfort.

" Y/N are you ok, is something wrong?"

" I um...just sad about rengoku's death."

Tanjiro paused realizing what you had said and almost lost his spark remembering rengoku's death and wanting to cry but, he held it back not wanting to be emotional right in front of you.

" Oh y/n...we're all upset about it. "

" IT'S JUST THAT-"

Y/N burst out in anger and sadness.

" HE COULD'VE LIVED AND WENT ON HAPPY ABOUT HIS LIFE TO SEE HIS FAMILY BUT, NO."

Y/N let out all the sadness and anger they had and realized what they had done. They finally decided to confess to them.

" I've...I've been, um, over-dosing on pills for the past couple of days and wanting to kill myself. "

Tanjiro and Nezuko were in shock and had replayed the words in their head over and over and over. Nezuko hugged you tighter and tanjiro's eyes started to swell up with water and hugged you as well as Nezuko had done. You started to cry.

" Y-Y/N, why didn't you tell me? I was worried something like this would've happened." Said tanjiro

" Y/N, please tell me you won't ever try to do those things to yourself ever, okay I can't lose you, please." Said Nezuko

Your eyes swelled up with even more tears and you cried in agony and pain wishing his death didn't happen. Once you stopped crying, You, Nezuko and Tanjiro had all snuggled up on the bed making sure none of you ever got loose from each others grip. Once then, shinobu came in and saw all of you snuggled on the bed. She took the blanket and covered it on all of you making sure not to wake you guys up. You all snuggled as the sunlight shone through the window.

End

( I almost cried while writing this )

[ghostypetrainer]

but what if it was ingo who merged with cresselia and akari merging w Darkrai? (Let akari give kamado bad dreams!! Lol)

Cresselia!Ingo and Darkrai!Akari... gosh, that's wild to think about.

Cresselia finds a nearly dead Ingo in the Icelands, and decides to take mercy on the human and heal him... but since it takes up so much of her power, she ends up merging with him in order to do so. Ingo wakes up fully healed, but with no memories other than his name, and the belief that he's almost positive his eyes and bangs didn't use to be purple. He brings good dreams with him when he's taken in by the Pearl Clan, so they think of him as a good omen... and then comes the day of the full moon, where Cresselia takes over.

Which is... really funny to think about, because in some respects, Cresselia matches Ingo better than Darkrai! She's very polite and kind, although her inquisitiveness can make her a touch rude without her meaning to be. Also it's funny to think of Ingo with one of those glowing hagoromo things, but you know what? It's also a good look for him. The weirdest part it definitely that Cresselia is very expressive, whereas Ingo is of course not.

But gosh, Darkrai Akari... how does that even happen. I don't know, but it does!! Laventon still finds her on Prelude Beach, but after she moves into Jubilife Village, people start having nightmares every night, which definitely increases the sense of suspicion around her... and okay, technically that one is her fault!! And then when the day of the new moon comes, and Darkrai takes over... well. Akari's rude now, except it's Darkrai. Kamado probably tries to drive them out on the spot, but by that point she's probably already quelled at least Lord Kleavor, so Irida intervenes and is saved when Warden Ingo suddenly arrives and offers to let her stay with him in his tent in the Highlands. There's no issue if she's away from Jubilife Village at night, and she can continue her survey corps work from there, can't she?

Kamado begrudgingly accepts these conditions. Irida squints as "Ingo" walks away and realizes that they're glowing just a little and is just like huh. that was actually Cresselia. Guess these two things must be connected.

Tanjiro's Secret

TanjiroxPregnant!Fem!Reader

AN: Multiple characters will definitely be out of their character in this chapter and I am NOT a doctor/nurse so there are probably incorrect medical (?) terms, but I did a little research. If anything stated below makes you uncomfortable please do not read or read with caution as this chapter will contain sensitive topics!!

TW: description of female body, reader starts going through labor, kidnaping, language, blood, and abuse

Warning: This chapter will contain dark themes, please read with caution!!

It's late at night, you should be in bed. Curled up and under a warm blanket, but you can't sleep. You have so many aches you find it difficult to get into a comfortable position for the night. So you find yourself wandering around the mansion, enjoying the peace and quiet.

The moon shines brightly above you as you walk along the edge of the small gardens that follow the walls of the estate. With one hand on your big belly you admire the scenery, it isn't much but it's enough to relax you. The tension washing away from your sore muscles, your poor feet are a different story however.

Your ankles are swollen and your feet throb with each step you take, so you decide it's time to head back inside to the comfort of your room. Another lonely night. Another night you spend inside your quiet room, without the comfort of another.

Another night without him.

You can see him perfectly, his red hair he always asked you to trim, his rough calloused hands that would hold yours during Shinobu's visits, ruby red eyes that looked at you with nothing but love.

Love that you could never reciprocate.

It was her fault. If only she would've stayed out of it, not used the damn coin. If she would've kept her distance, not gone up to him when she did, you would be in her place. You would be Y/N Kamado, not her.

It angers you, knowing that you had a chance. Knowing that you had a shot at a happy life, but it was taken away from you. Ripped away from your hands before you could truly grasp it. Now you are stuck, alone with the possibilities. The dreams you once had, shattered and broken.

Sighing you make your way down the hall and towards your room, but something is wrong. You feel the strong presence of someone but the sharp pain in your stomach makes all your thoughts fly out the window, feeling liquid running down your legs, drenching your clothes.

It's all too much, too sudden, for you. You weren't due for another month or so according to the doctor, not now. Not when he's not there for you, not when you're all alone.

You can’t breathe, as though there’s a heavy weight on your chest, and you’re desperate for air. Desperate to find someone, anyone to help you.

Tanjiro.

You need Tanjiro.

Crying out when you manage to inhale sharply, you stumble blindly in the dark hallway, trying to find a door. Any door will do, anyone willing to help will do, the pain is too much.

Footsteps from behind a voice calling out to you, soft and calm, it’s familiar but you can’t bring yourself to turn. There are hands grabbing yours, enveloping you like a warm blanket. It’s comforting, but not what you truly want.

It’s not him.

You’re not sure who it is exactly until they speak again, "Y/N, please just breathe. You’ll be just fine, I’ll go get Miss Shinobu. You stay right here, I won’t be long.”

Kanao.

The wife of the love of your life, the reason you cannot have him. The person holding you back, practically dangling your happiness in front of you. Taunting you, living the life you desire, with the man you want.

And as she rushes off behind you the heartbreak you feel almost surpases the pain in your body.

Almost.

The contracting of your uterus is borderline torturous, the uncomfortable tensing of the muscle makes it difficult for you to stand up straight, but you somehow manage.

As time passes your contractions get more and more intense, what was once uncomfortable contractions now are excruciating ones. You can't bear to stand anymore, your wobbly legs practically giving out under you. If it wasn't for your steady hand on the wall you're positive you and the floor would've met minutes ago.

A door slides open from down the hall and a hand clamps over your mouth. Your gut twists, your mind screaming at you to move but you can’t, arms encircle you from behind and trap yours against your sides. A man, you can feel his broad chest up against your back and the rough hands holding you in place only confirm your worst nightmare.

It hurts.

It hurts badly.

You’re being dragged down the hall, the hand never leaves your mouth. You can’t breathe, you can’t see, you can’t move. Nothing, you can’t do anything.

You’re dragged and dragged, out the house, into the forest, dragged over roots, branches, leaves. There are gashes, deep ones across your calves. Blood, lots of it, running down your legs, and you don’t know where the blood starts or ends.

You hurt.

Your stomach, it’s so damn agonizing and your captor only makes it unbearable. Never ending, only worsening as you’re dragged some more. Through thickets and bushes, under a fallen tree, until finally he stops.

Something heavy is thrown open and you’re lifted from the ground, the hand finally moving from your mouth.

Scream.

You scream, crying out for someone to help you, finally thrashing and hitting your captor, whoever he is.

He doesn't budge.

Up a small set of stairs, into a cold dark room, he remains unfazed. You’re set down on something relatively soft and chains are cuffed to your wrists and ankles.

Once again, you can’t move. Bound to whatever he set you on, surrounded by darkness until a lantern is brought in. Illuminating your confinement, you see it's nothing but what seemed to be a fixed up old shack. There's hardly anything inside; a makeshift bed, a small wooden stool, and buckets with rags inside. Lots of them.

You turn to face your captor, ready to fight your way out of there for the sake of your baby, only to find him gone and have your blood run cold.

"I see you made it here without any trouble. Very good."

It's her.

Standing in the corner, arms crossed over her chest, lilac colored irises staring into yours. Unfazed, unbothered, almost bored she crosses the small room and stands in front of the bed, right in front of you.

The light from the lantern brightens her eyes and reflects off the shiny hairpin tucked just above her ear, keeping the small strands of dark black hair away from her face.

The same hairpin that replaced the pink and green butterfly one she wore in her youth.

Get out.

As if reading your thoughts she raises her sword, holding it up right against your stomach, the tip of it poking at your swollen belly, "Try and leave, I dare you. You wouldn't make it two steps off that bed, let alone out the door."

You need to get out.

"Besides there's nowhere for you to go. Especially with that thing on the way. You should be ready in a few hours, these things do take time after all."

Venom.

Her voice drips with it yet her faces remains stoic, but she lowers her sword, choosing to hold it loosely in her hand instead. It's terrifying but you manage to find your voice, "What the hell are you doing? The baby is coming and you have me chained to a damn bed in the middle of the woods? Are you crazy-"

SLAP

The sound echoes in the empty room and your cheek stings, tears brim your eyes as you slowly turn your head back to face her, both shocked and intimidated.

"You don't speak unless I tell you to."

All you can do is stare, quivering on the small bed, willing yourself to stay quiet and for your tears not to fall as she slides her sword into its scabbard.

CRACK

This time you scream.

Blood slowly trickles down your hand from your knuckles, slowly running down your wrist and forearm before dripping down onto the ground from your elbow.

CRACK

Another scream.

More blood dripping onto the floor.

"You've ruined everything." She scowls at you and uses the end of her scabbard to raise your chin, forcing you to meet her eyes. Cold, void of any emotion, or what appears to be at first glance.

Her eyes hold emotion and so much of it, running down in waves off of her. Suffocating you to no end, frustration, hate, jealousy.

Anger.

"If only you would've done what we had brought you to do. If you wouldn't have screwed everything up, ruined the very plans we made, you wouldn't be here. Stuck in an old shack, chained to a bed, about to give birth to a thing I now regret letting exist."

Gripping your jaw she tugs you closer so your faces are mere inches apart, "But you didn't, you went against me. Broke the only rule we had made, the one you agreed to never break. You greedy bitch, couldn't you have been satisfied with just our deal?"

Don't answer.

Her jaw clenches and she yanks you closer, your arms bent back at an uncomfortable, painful angle, "This is all your fault." She stops, seemingly to regain her composure, and pushes you back onto the bed, "No matter, you will suffer the consequences of your actions. You and that thing inside you."

You strain at your chains, desperate to be free, "You will not lay a hand on my child." She snaps her head in your direction and raises her hand, you brace yourself waiting for the stinging pain but it never comes.

"Oh, you're right. I suppose I won't harm that horrid thing, I will hold up my end of the deal though. Take it and raise it as my own. You, however, won't have to worry about your end of our little bargain."

A tight grip on your hair had you crying out, raising your own hands to try and remove hers, "You will give birth and I will take the damn brat, I'll run on home, maybe come up with some sob story for you and live out the rest of my life."

Smirking she tugs your head back, looking you in your tear-filled eyes, "You will stay here, with all the wild animals. I'm sure they'll be happy to have you, something to snack on during the day."

Seeing your fearful expression she chuckles darkly, "This damn baby is a product of a love that should never have existed in the first place. You deceived me, but I will be the one to set things right. This love ends with the birth of the child. Once it's born, my problems will be resolved and I will leave you here to rot, the way you deserve to."

"And I don't need a damn coin to figure that out."

[serodev]

Hey congrats on 300!!!!! If it isn't to much trouble may i have (male) demom slayer matchup please. Human or demon, I don't really care. My pronouns are she/her. Im a Capricorn, my Mbti type is infj-a/infj-t. I tend to be shy around new people but I can be somewhat loud with people who im close to. Im not very athletic and im not a big fan of sports but i love to go roller and ice skating. I also love to read books and to also cook and bake food. I also like to garden. I play the violin. I love animals and im planing on becoming a wildlife veterinarian. I like to Watch nature/animal documentaries. I also like sweets. Some things i dislike are people who bend or ruin my books and people who speak over me when im trying to talk.I love music, I can listen to any genre and like it but my favorites are indie,bedroom pop and classic rock. sorry if i spelt anything wrong. Hope im not bothering you . I hope this is ok:)

Note(s): Oh man, I have to applaud you for planning to become a wildlife veterinarian because that job is something that I've wished to take part in for a long time!! And don't worry, your match-up request was more than enough! Now, let's get into the match making~

I match you up with...

Tanjiro Kamado!

» The moment I read the first few lines of your request made this match-up click almost instantly! I can definitely see you and Tanjiro becoming this cute power couple that everyone loves!

» One of the things that Tanjiro absolutely loves to do is to listen to you play violin because he just loves to see you in your natural habitat, y'know? He may not know much about the instrument or how to play it, but he will still try to help you out in his own cute way! Of course, he's also ready to settle down and let you figure things out yourself if it seems like a better idea to do.

» Oh yeah! Another thing that he definitely loves to do is to watch nature/animal documents with you. This boy's just like a puppy when it comes to spending time with you, and it definitely shows through with your hobbies and likes because he wants to take part in them in any way he can!

» Of course, one of the negative sides about this is the fact that he might get too excited from time to time and speak over you without even thinking about it. However, he apologizes every time he happens to do it, and he tries his best to keep his mouth shut after it!! Just please give him a chance!

» Your weekdays nor weekends are never going to be boring while you're with Tanjiro because that guy can come up with all these different things that you can do together! Thankfully though, he can also relax and calm down if you just happen to ask him to do so.

Authors Note: a reupload from my past blog- and the last one! once i get my tarot series up on this blog time for new writings!

        The sky crackled as thunder lit up the sky sparsely with bright light, icy winds harshly danced across the fields as the vegetation bent to the will of the air, the groans of the trees nearby echoed through the lands. You smiled as the warmth of the soup you made hit your face, stirring it slowly while looking through the window, the small droplets of chilled rain started to run down the clear glass. Your hair was slipping from its butterfly clip that held the locks back, the light burgundy kimono you wore was fitted well, but now slips slightly from your shoulders from a day of working your families herbal shop and the formulas for Shinobu. She was always your best costumer.

        “Hmm?” A small sound came out from next to you, around the height of your hip, you placed the ladle down as you turned to Nezuko. You ran your fingers through her hair as she came close to you, laying her head on your hip as you got a bowl out.

        “You’ve finally woken up, hmm? Has Tanjiro as well?” You asked her, looking down into her sleepy eyes, her head nodding before she moved to the room her brother was resting in, hearing some rustling before all settled. 

        You’ve wanted everything to wrap up nicely, Tanjiro had been gone for about a week and a half, due to a difficult mission. One demon turned out to be a small cluster of them in the areas surrounding, each powerful enough to develop a Demon Blood Art that caused heavy damage on the boys worn body. He managed some basic first aid, but once he returned you had to re-do all the stitches and bandaging, so that it was clean, tight, and dry to heal quickly enough.

        “Tanjiro! What was even going on there? You’re all torn up, love.” You winced as he took the button up of his uniform off. His eyes became sad as he saw what worry he brought to you. Opening his mouth to apologize, he stopped himself and sat on the bed with a sigh, appreciating what you're doing for him as he watched you. 

        Gripping the small basket, you threw the materials you needed from the bedrooms drawer as they soon slipped from your hands, shaking a bit as your fear from before started to settle into your bones. He was alive. He is okay. Nezuko is sleeping- healing on the bed, having already treating her knowing Tanjiro would decline any treatment first, though he was the human in the equation. You bundled her up nicely in the sheets as Tanjiro started to take his bloodied and torn clothing off.

        You tripped getting up, Tanjiro shooting up at the sight, ignoring the pain as he went for you.

        “I’m fine, Tanjiro. Sit down before you hurt yourself more.” You sighed, placing a hand on his shoulder and pushing him to sit on the edge of the bed, holding the basket as the other

        “[ Y/n ], don’t worry please, you shouldn’t stress yourself this much over me.” He said, looking at you as you sat next to him, cleaning up one of the messy stitches. 

        “I can’t help it. I worry just as equally as I do with Nezuko, and she has enhanced healing. You’re both my family and I just can’t help it.” You continued, before placing some pressure around the wound with one hand, and grabbing the scissors with the other from the basket.

        “This will sting a bit-” You started, “-I know. I can handle it. Thank you, [ Y/n ], for taking care of me.” He cut you off, wincing as you started to cut the older stitches and pull them out, he continued to talk and focus on his breathing. He always found the pain to numb better this way, speaking with you and keeping his thoughts on breathing. You both knew of your shared feelings for one another, never going too far with the intimacy, and yet you two were always close. He appreciated you for being patient with him, knowing he would put his mission to make Nezuko human over almost everything, how you always were there to fix him up whenever he was torn down.

        “How have the other little butterfly's treated you?” He smiled, thinking of Aoi, Sumi, Kiyo, and Naho. You cleaned the wound from the fresh blood, before starting to stitch it up again. 

        “Well, I seem to keep tripping up on everything nowadays, but I’ll manage to live.” You smiled, fondly remembering all the girls worrying over you for little mishaps.

        “You manged to get here on a relaxed day, you and Nezuko have your own room, unlike the open area we usually shove you in.” He laughed as you finished, moving on to the next set of wounds, after finishing the wrapping of his now- properly fixed slash. You two continued on like this, catching up with one another, him with Inosuke and Zenitsu’s highjink’s and you with the Hashiras… everything. This continued even when you finished, ending up with him next to Nezuko as you brushed his hair back while he laid down, resting and enjoying your presence. 

        “Don’t even get me started on Shinobu’s assault on Tomiokas… social life? She is always harsh with the poor man, I had to make it up to him somehow so I-” A loud growl came from Tanjiros stomach as she was speaking, causing her to stop and look at him, the young couple laughing together as she got up. 

        “Soup? I think something light and filling is best for you, considering the stress you had on your abdomen.” You spoke, already walking to the door, as he agreed, closing the door and going to the kitchen, after shooting a quick, “Rest up!”

        The tray with soup and bread was in one hand as you opened the door, looking back quickly before taking another step, it didn’t feel right. Before you realized, you were falling, the hot soup falling forward onto your legs. The ache turned into a sharp burn as the soup soaked into your kimono, causing tears to fill your eyes as pain hit you, your pulse didn’t seem to be in your heart, more or less falling into your lap. 

        “[ Y/n ], gods! Are you alright?” Tanjiro yelped, getting up from the bed as Nezuko jumped from the bed to you, pushing the bowl and spilled food on you. Tanjiro helped you stand, picking you up and sitting you on the bed as he told Nezuko to get cold water and a rag, who quickly ran to go find some. 

        “I need to see the burns, sorry [ Y/n ], please don’t cry.” He slowly peeled the bottom of your kimono apart as the irritated skin was exposed to the air, causing you to hiss in pain. Nezuko ran in with a bucket of water, a rag hanging from it, and placing it down next to you. She sat next to you and tried to comfort you, patting your head and rubbing your arms as cool water started to calm the hot skin. A tear slipped down your face, the pain subsiding after at least half an hour of Tanjiro rubbing the rag on your thighs. 

        “Sorry you had to do this. I just wanted to help you out-”

        “Shh, it’s okay. Accidents happen. You don’t need to worry.” He smiled, rubbing the skin with the cold rag that was slightly warmed now, trying to calm you down the best he could with Nezuko.

        “T-There is some cream in the basket I had before that should help.” You spoke, trying to think on anything, but the pain. He quickly got up and grabbed it, drying the skin before looking up to you.

        “Don’t worry, this’ll probably be cold.” He spoke, rubbing the skin with cool cream. After a few more minutes, he was finished, wiping your tears with his hand.

        “How about we both relax a bit, we all need it, and Shinobu wouldn’t mind.” He smiled, pulling the covers off the bed to have you shuffle under, Nezuko curling up to you. Tanjiro followed suit, laying next to you making sure your thighs didn’t touch the linens too harshly. The thunder seemed to die down outside, allowing the wind to howl and the rain to trample the exposed land, lulling you all to sleep.
