#(Shinobu is going to have to use some tough love to get her out of bed at this rate)

[more-than-a-princess]

Easy for her to say 'calm down.' Sonia didn't doubt that Yaguchi had her own demons to contend with, but it was nothing like being responsible for mass murder in a cult of despair. All in service to a leader who preached that unpredictable despair was the cure for boredom, for feeling anything and everything. The most prevalent now, in Sonia's experience, were deep sadness, loneliness, and regret: nothing she wanted, everything she hated.

And so Sonia sobbed harder. Behind her hands and so thoroughly disgraced in the world, it no longer mattered what she looked like or how she reacted in front of others. And thus, when Shinobu tugged her hands away, she revealed a pair of red, swollen, and splotchy eyes, flushed and tear-stained cheeks, and a nose that ran unless Sonia sniffled, an attempt to dry her tears and the rest of her face while at it. A mostly fruitless endeavor, as Yaguchi held her hands firmly in her own and with no way to wipe at the mess on her face.

"That seems," A pause, a sniffle, "A bit bizarre. To sleep well beside me. I have committed murder on quite a large scale, and have caused plenty of suffering to many more. You shouldn't find any comfort in me: no one does."

That wasn't exactly true: the only people she felt who could find comfort in her were those as equally complicit and guilty in The Tragedy as she was. Person, rather: who had looked at her and couldn't see a woman worth loving anymore, just someone who had helped destroy the world and destroy him, in the way only someone his twisted heart loved could do. He'd done the same for her, she had the faint scars to prove it. They, alongside the many that littered her lower torso, were both her comfort and love, and her shame and sorrow. A constant reminder that anything she felt she'd deserved before she'd become a Remnant of Despair was beyond her now.

Another sniffle, and Sonia needed to look away, gently tugging her hands out of Yaguchi's grasp. She'd been gentle, Yaguchi, but it seemed impolite to stay like that. After she'd already breached the barriers of personal space, considering how little help the pillows had been in the end. "You probably wish to leave," Sonia mumbled, finally reaching up to wipe at the last few tears in her eyes. But her tone left little to question: instead, it was decidedly on the side of 'there's no reason why you'd want to stay here, not without a threatening thunderstorm to keep her prisoner in my cabin.'

It was hard to believe anyone at face value anymore, at least about anything remotely positive. Makoto Naegi's constant prattling about hope and bright futures, with his friends espousing similar sentiments (Togami aside) and now Yaguchi assuring her that not only had she not taken advantage of her, but she enjoyed sleeping at her side. It all seemed so disingenuous, empty words and phrases spouted to pacify the former mass-murderers so they wouldn't revert back to the monsters they once were. So they wouldn't overpower and slaughter the Future Foundation members before commandeering a ship and carrying out Junko Enoshima's Despair, or a new sort of terror entirely unique to them. It wasn't as if Sonia hadn't thought of it: not that she wanted to, but more the fact she was capable of it. And she was only the former Ultimate Princess, thinking of what around her could be turned into a weapon that the Future Foundation had yet to confiscate. Hajime was the brains behind every operation now: if he wanted to, Sonia was certain, he could find a way for all of them to get off the island and pursue whatever path they wished.

But he was compliant. He wanted to work with the Future Foundation, to have Hajime Hinata and Izuru Kamukura work in tandem together to make one composite being. So she was stuck: stuck until she was deemed ready to be sent home, exiled from her home forever. Her friends...they were her home now, not the half-burnt, crumbling kingdom in Europe who couldn't decide whether to let her live a life imprisoned or kill her as soon as she stepped foot on Novosonian soil.

Sonia winced, falling back down against the pillows and mattress. There was no alcohol left in her cabin, nothing that could take the pain away. If only she would will herself into a dreamless sleep, and keep it going until she no longer had to live anymore.

Despite the fact Yaguchi was still very much present and very much awake, Sonia pulled the covers up over her messy braid, her sticky cheeks. There was no reason to get out of bed, not really.

In the lightly dreamy haze of early morning wakefulness, Shinobu hadn't anticipated what Sonia's reaction would be when she finally woke. Likely embarrassment, to some extent, but it hadn't come to mind that she might be upset. Of course, from Shinobu's perspective, nothing had been done that was unacceptable. Against all odds, she'd slept well, and if she were looking at the state of her life through an honest lens, she was terribly lonely. If anything, they felt as though they should apologize, for taking such comfort in her closeness.

Sonic, though, clearly was worked up by what had happened. It took a moment for the situation to properly sink in, before her words fully clicked in Shinobu's mind. Sonia thought she'd done something awful, and that thought had clearly recalled unpleasant memories. It was true that there was video evidence of those crimes of hers, though Shinobu had made it a point never to seek them out. The murders were unavoidable, from all of the remnants, especially when Shinobu had been personally present for some of them. Yet their other acts of depravity... surely they'd all prefer for those to be forgotten as much as possible, and the archer would like to oblige them when they could.

"Miss Nevermind, please calm down," Shinobu started, her voice still quiet, such that Sonia simply spoke over her. Whatever guilt, shame, or self-loathing she was experiencing seemed, for the moment, too thick to reach through with quiet words alone. But then, what was the proper thing to do in such a situation? What would Seiko have done? What would Anzu have done? "Oh, I dunno, Shinobu-chan, not slept alongside a dangerous genocidal maniac in the middle of a Little Episode?"

Well, that wasn't exactly helpful. Truthfully, Seiko would have likely clammed up, given how she struggled with any kind of confrontation, and Anzu - the real Anzu - never would have found herself in a position like this anyway. If anything, she'd have simply laughed it off, and that was neither something Shinobu was capable, nor believed would help. "Miss Nevermind, I-" No, rather, if Shinobu wanted to soothe her in some way, to protect not just her body, but her heart as well, then whatever came next would need to be authentically herself, rather than some pale imitation of what some departed kind person would do.

Besides, Sonia's weeping made it difficult to get a word in edgewise. From the night before Shinobu knew that she wasn't necessarily comfortable being touched without her consent, and so it seemed quite the risk. Then again, they'd had a moment together, hadn't they? Of trust, and of warmth. And so, for that reason, Shinobu swallowed the anxieties that threatened to devour them from the inside out, and softly reached up to take Sonia's hands and move them away from her face. She didn't let go, not for a moment, as her hands lightly clasped around the other woman's, and she looked directly to her eyes.

"Sonia," she started, the given name spilling out from her lips before she'd realized it, "please, listen to me, alright?" Again, that urge welled up inside her, the urge to hug Sonia tightly, or to caress her cheek and wipe her tears for her. No, Shinobu Yaguchi was no expert when it came to comforting another, and yet any discomfort that came with that fact would be discarded if it was for the sake of Sonia's happiness. Her hands, still holding Sonia's, squeezed softly, as she regarded the other woman with a patient, gentle expression.

"You've done nothing wrong." She searched the oceans of Sonia's eyes, hoping to find some confirmation that she was listening, that something was getting through to her even with the situation being as upsetting for her as it was. "You have not done anything untoward to me. I'm fine, and while the contact was unexpected, it was not unpleasant or inappropriate. Truthfully, I slept quite well - better than I typically do." There was no ignoring that reality. Shinobu Yaguchi was painfully lonely, and after having become accustomed to sleeping beside another person more often than not, she'd felt the absence strongly since Seiko's death.

"I know you must feel immense guilt over the people you have hurt, but you have not hurt me. You took no advantage of me, and if the situation arose again, I would sleep soundly at your side, without any concern or apprehension. I still trust you." Again, Shinobu resisted the urge to hold her face, or offer more physical reassurance that would be inappropriate in the moment. "I promise, Sonia, you didn't do anything wrong." Please don't cry, and certainly not for my sake.

[peachdues]

Re: bundle of joy - I can't get Sanemi's comment abt how he watched his mom suffer miscarriages at the hand of his father out of my head. What if he saw his mom cry every time she realized she was pregnant again? Like she loved all of her kids, but she knew what their dad would do to them. What if he also helped take care of his mom through her pregnancies and post-partum because his dad never did? I'm just UGH I'm SO SOFT FOR NEMI.

THIS THIS THIS.

Sanemi was the eldest and therefore took on the most responsibility after his mother, and he was a mama’s boy through and through. I think his mother was his single biggest influence. I actually think his early life observing his father’s treatment of his mother plays a huge role in how he approaches Y/N’s pregnancy — and his relationship with her in general.

I imagine that everything he did for Y/N in Bundle of Joy, he learned by helping his mother during her pregnancies. I agree that he probably saw how difficult pregnancy was for his mother (because let’s be real, none of those kids were born from love, and that’s heartbreaking), and has long since promised that if he ever has a child, he will do everything he can for both his kid and their mother. He’s ecstatic at first, but then Y/N says she wants to keep things in the down-low for a bit, and suddenly he’s terrified that he’s done to her what his father did to his mother, and he would rather die than cause her any pain. I think his deepest insecurity is becoming like his father, and while Sanemi can be a hardass and tough, he cannot be anything other than soft for his lover and their children.

I think that after the kid is born (and let’s be real, he is so girl-dad coded), he would take the most parenting inspiration from his mother. Sure, Sanemi is still going to be Sanemi, but both he and Genya idolized their mother. Not only does he love his kid without limit, but I could also see him trying to incorporate her gentle way of parenting, too. He wants his child(ren) to have everything he didn’t when he was growing up, and he will do anything to ensure they get it.

Something that I wish we saw more of in the Sanemi-realm of demon slayer content is more of an understanding of how he treats women in general. I think there’s a tendency to write him along the same lines of how Obanai treats other female slayers apart from Shinobu and Mitsuri, but I’m not sure that’s entirely accurate.

We’re told several times that Sanemi is kind to women, but I don’t think that’s limited to non-Corps women. He observes a lower-ranked female slayer being harassed by M*dea and straight up makes the pig piss himself by yelling so much at him. He doesn’t tolerate any disrespect towards women because Sanemi starts every day by drinking his Respect Women Juice. I’m not saying he’s soft on female slayers, but I think he’s definitely more subdued. He’s not going to level personal/emotional attacks against them because that’s what his father did (along with the physical abuse) and Sanemi hates his father.

Honestly, tempted to explore more of the Bundle of Joy universe — like how Y/N and Sanemi actually meet and get together/their time in their secret relationship, and even as parents. Sanemi doesn’t strike me as someone who sleeps with another without already being emotionally invested in them to some degree, because he doesn’t like to feel as though he’s using them as a means to an end. I would like to write some parallels between Y/N’s pregnancy and his memories of his mothers’ pregnancies and show how they directly influenced him later on. We’ll see!

[creative-kny-fics]

Hello :3

I behold, a request for you (*if requests are open*)

Could you do,

Switches: Sanemi, Mitsuri? Maybe it's when Sanemi and her first meet?

Feel free to decline this ofc! :3

It makes me laugh that Sanemi would tell Mitsuri to change her uniform when he clearly has a similar uniform to hers 🤣

Switches: Mitsuri Kanroji and Sanemi Shinazugawa

'W-WHY IS YOUR UNIFORM NORMAL SHINOBU-SAN?!', Mitsuri squealed embarrassed and covering herself with her haori.

Maeda, the tailor who made her uniform had "assured" to the pink-haired girl that the measurements of the uniform were perfect and that it was the uniform that women wore.

She was clearly deceived...

'They also gave me that uniform at the beginning... I burned it in front of the tailor and I also did it with Kanao's. Here, I'll lend you my matches...' 'SHI-SHINOBU-SAN!!'

Mitsuri didn't have the heart to do it, but a white-haired boy who was at that meeting and heard what she said, did...

'KANROJI-SAN! FORGIVE US FOR THE UNIFORM!! WE WILL MAKE YOU A NEW ONE, WE SWEAR!!', Mitsuri turned to see the kakushis, what were they talking about?

'I don't understand... There's no need, I know how much you work to create uniforms, it's not necessary, I'm-...'

'Shinazugawa-San looked for Maeda-San and he almost wet his pants with fear... we beg forgiveness!'

'Shinazugawa-San did WHAT?!'

She couldn't believe it, was it uncomfortable to feel the gaze of others because of the uniform she was wearing? Yes it was.

But there was no need for Sanemi to terrify the kakushis, so frowning, she accepted the apology and assured them that she didn't need a new uniform, after that, she went to find Sanemi.

'Oh it's you... I talked to the kakushis and they should soon give you a new uniform... You don't have to thank me', Sanemi said as if it were nothing.

'Shinazugawa-San! You were very cruel!' 'Just change your uniform and stop showing so much skin, and leave me alone, the last thing I want is to fight with a woman today...'

'It sounds kind of hypocritical if you say it... You know?'

Sanemi sighed, his uniform was normal, but he loved showing that scar on his chest, he felt so proud of it that he wanted to show it almost always, plus he couldn't stand wearing a uniform with a collar all day, it irritated him.

'It's different. Take it or leave it, I have no reason to wear a longer, closed uniform, you do...'

'I can show you some reasons to do so...', she whispered.

What was she saying? Sanemi didn't understand until Mitsuri, without much effort, managed to sneak her fingers through his uniform, starting to run them up and down Sanemi's sides like spider legs.

Out of surprise, Sanemi let out a gasp but he didn't want to do more, he wasn't going to laugh, why would he even? 'Come on, who are you kidding Sanemi-Kun? I see a little smile~'

'O-of cohourse no-not! St-stop this shihihit!'

'Could... But how do you do it if with that uniform you invite someone to tickle you~?', Sanemi denied.

Nobody, truly NO ONE, had dared to do that, who would? They would probably come out with a bitten hand, a black eye, or blood running from their nose.

Mitsuri had something going for her, Sanemi isn't usually so cruel to girls, and she was one, so...

'Owwww come on Sanemi-Kun! I know you want to laugh~ you can stop that facade of trying to be tough, smile at life!' 'I'm not laughing! MHMHMHMHM!! Ge-gehehet awahahay!!'

'Mmmm...', she mumbled, his sides weren't that ticklish.

But what prevented her from continuing? When she touched his lower ribs and began to slowly raise her fingers, she began to notice how Sanemi's knees began to shake, she was getting close to a bad place...

'I swehehar, if yo-you dohon't sto-stop, I'm gohoing to-!! GRRRR!! FU-FUHUCK OHOHOFF!!'

'Aha! Apparently I found a bad spot~ you know? If you had your uniform buttoned up, this wouldn't happen... It would give you some protection after all~'

Sanemi growled, it was ridiculous! But what could he do? He couldn't bend down and try to tickle her thighs, it wouldn't be right...

'Awwww is this too much for you Sanemi-Kun~? I'm starting to believe that the way you wear your uniform is for-! EEEEEEEEH?!'

'And what makes you think that the uniform was going to protect you, even a little?!', Sanemi definitely knows how to quickly catch his breath. 'B-Buhuhut-!! EHEHEHEHEHE!! SAHANEHEHEMI-KUN!!'

'You see it?! There is no difference. Huh? You don't believe it? Then we'll have to show it to you!'

Sanemi... No matter how hard you try, you're not going to get Mitsuri to give up so soon, she likes that kind of games and coexistence with her friends.

A Light

Note: Kny oc centric One-shot

Characters: Himawari Nichibotsu (Mainly) , Sanī(Mentioned)

Cw: Character Death

Themes: Angst to Happy

Timeline: My Hashira au- why not

What did I feel on that fearful day…it’s like I can still hear the cries of pain. It was engraved in my mind..For years even after the incident.

I can still hear my cries of desperation ‘Sanī! Wake up..’ ‘Sanī please don’t let this be so..’ ‘I can’t live without my Sun..’ . I felt like a part of my heart was ripped out of my body that night..

But, are you happy now, Sanī..? Are you happy to see that Muzan is gone I hope you are, and I hope you’re resting easy now honey. Another thing I hope you’re proud of our little girl, she’s grown up so much and she’s learned so much as well

After all these adventures and coming into times where things got tough but, we succeeded and paved our way out. I hope you see that..she gonna be just like you the moon hashira just, like her Father and—

“HIMAWARI-SAANNNN!” she heard from a distance it wasn’t Shinobu, but Mitsuri Kanroji the two had became friends over the passing months of the war. “Shinobu and I are having this girls night! Do you wanna join?” Mitsuri asked as she was basically jumping in excitement well maybe skipping of excitement but, that would be the same now wouldn’t it?

This is the happiest she’s been after the war, she’s started talking to obanai more and even lets her parents and siblings visit from time to time. She has four younger siblings , they’re quite adorable and are quite interesting to say the least. They love hanging around her estate while every now and then visiting the other estates of the hashira mostly the butterfly estate though.

Cause it seemed the blood estate Ketesuki Koya’s residence kinda intimidated them probably by the name but, they got used to it very quickly finding it very peaceful. I’m going off track aren’t I?

“A girls night you say? It’s been awhile since I’ve even been invited to one, so I suppose I tag along with you and Shinobu if that makes you happy. Miss Kanroji” But, I’d be lying if I say I wasn’t , itching for another girls night it’s been quite the journey yet so, little time.

“EEEEEE! Okay! Come On let’s Go!” Mitsuri grabbed my hand dragging me at top speeds to where she and Shinobu were headed “I heard you went to that district where you guys encountered Daki and Gyutarou! Maybe this time you’ll get to see some cute guys!” She exclaimed squealing at the thought

“Uh-! Cute guy’s? Mi-Mitsuri—!Are you trying to kill me!?” To be honest with you ever since my husband died it’s like I forgot what having a crush felt like, Oh but when I first felt it with him it was so..so..Magical!

I don’t know if I’ll y’know be able to handle those rush of feelings again. But, being complimented by uh- cute guy’s sounds very..pleasing, getting that type of attention is just so..I don’t even know how to describe it honestly!

But, about that Red District I haven’t been back since that uppermoon battle , well the upside to now that it’s over is that I can enjoy it to it’s fullest potential.!

“It’d be so cute seeing you swoon over a guy! It’s like love at first sight ahah..or first compliment!” Mitsuru says with a giggle “Kanrojiii—“ “It’s not bad I swear! OOH! OO! What if we see the guys too?!”

“EHHHH?!!” “Ahah I’m Kidding..Or am I? “MITSURI YOU CHEEKY-“ “ Now, Now girls let’s not brawl besides you wanna get roughed up before having a good time?” Shinobu says with a smirk walking in front of the two

She did have a point in all honesty I’m glad this war is all over…Sanī..

Are you proud,

…of us..

my love..?

-The End

Something They Like About You

| Masterlist |

Tanjiro:

He really admires your kindness, especially towards his sister.

At first he was nervous that you would despise her, but when you proved to really like her, all of his fears went away and he felt like he could truly bond with you.

Nezuko:

She loves your comforting aura.

In some ways, you remind her of her sister Hanako -- both of you are sweet and kind. She loves how she can relax around you and melt into your arms.

Zenitsu:

He loves your bravery.

Even when he's so scared he can't even force his legs to move, the sight of you fighting with all of your might is enough to inspire him to keep going. You are one of his greatest encouragements to stop quaking and keep fighting.

Inosuke:

He loves your calming manner.

When he feels so angry that he thinks he'll burst, all he has to do is go to you and he'll be able to calm down. Your patient smile and soothing voice works wonders on his frayed nerves and makes him feel just a little more at peace with himself.

Giyuu:

He loves your optimism.

It often gets really hard to face a new day, and sometimes he can barely force himself to get out of bed in the morning. You have a way about you that makes life hurt even just a little less. Whether it's cheering him up with his favorite dish or just giving him one of your bright smiles, you have a way of making his depression more bearable.

Kyojuro:

He loves your passionate spirit.

Sometimes it's tough to keep optimistic about his future, what with his kid brother and his alcoholic father. But just being with you and witnessing your passion for life can reignite his own internal fire.

Muichiro:

He loves your compassion.

Even back when he was more standoffish, he always respected your kindness and empathy to those around you. Now he's glad he can appreciate your good spirit even more.

Shinobu:

She loves your forgiving nature.

Shinobu has a tough time letting go of past anger, especially since her sister died. Your ability to forgive easily and let go of grudges (especially concerning your family) is something she greatly admires about you. It's enough to make her try harder to let her rage fade.

Gyomei:

He loves your dependability.

All through his life, he's been betrayed and lied to, and he finds it hard to trust even his fellow pillars sometimes. But you've proven that he can trust you, and doubling that with your caring nature and gentle soul, he feels like he can really bare his soul to you.

Sanemi:

He loves your patience.

He knows full well that he's not the greatest person to get along with; part of his tough act is to build walls around himself so that others don't get hurt. But then you came along and slowly and methodically broke down those walls. You've wormed your way into his heart, one day at a time, and he can't picture a world without you anymore.

Akaza:

He loves your empathy.

Being a Kizuki (and being a demon on top of that), he's not used to having much in the way of true friendship. Either he's defending himself from slayers or he's trying to keep his spot in the hierarchy by getting stronger. There's simply no time for 'friends' in his world, and it often gets lonely.

But ever since he met you, he sees something in you that he can't remember having for years and years. It's comforting to have you as first, a friend, and now, a partner. It's something to ground him to the present, to remind him that he's not just a mindless monster.

Douma:

He loves your sincerity.

Since he's the leader of a cult, he's usually surrounded by people who either come to him begging for advice, or people who are content to kneel before him and figuratively (although sometimes literally) lick his shoes. He learned real fast to spot genuine praise when he was young. With you, he knows that you're always honest about your feelings with him. He loves your smile, because he can tell that it's real... and you taught him how to properly feel love.

Kokushibo:

He loves your strength. (I mean, are you really surprised?)

Even though you hid away and fainted when he looked at you upon your first meeting, you showed a lot of bravery and inner strength when you decided to keep going, even after watching most of your friends die. He'd gotta hand it to ya, when the going got tough, the tough got going, and you did not pull your punches when you sprang back into action. You channeled your innermost anger and frustration into power and became even stronger.

You quickly became a human who both fascinated and surprised him. Not very many humans showed the mental fortitude you had, and even though you still suffered from PTSD, you had a support network to fortify you and help you bounce back. He had to admit, he was a little envious of the positive environment you were ensconced in.

Muzan:

He loves your determination.

He still considers you weak -- you're a human, you're bound to be weak -- but that doesn't mean he doesn't respect your stubborn willpower. It brings him back to when he first found Rui, in a sense. He feels a little closer to you because you keep fighting, even when you've been beaten down. It certainly helps that you can keep up with him.

Yoriichi:

He loves your spirit.

He's been through a lot, enough to drive most to despair. He appreciates your aspiration to travel with him and become a great fighter, and wants to keep you with him, even though it scares him. He's still recovering from the loss of his family, but it definitely helps the hurt to have someone he cares with.

Shogun Steel Episode 4:

-its time to have to deal with kite. Pray for my sanity.

-i love marus excited pose

-zyro explicitly asking shinobu to come along on the training trip is an adorable scene they robbed us of

-"beyblade is fun" "youre kidding" in this show apparently

-shinobu has a deeper voice than benkei

-maru better have lied to them and switched the lap number once. You know she did.

-they both hate losing. Game nights with this gang must be fun

-maru push them off the cliff for daring to contradict her. She couldve. I wish

-okay these twos conversations are actually really stiff right now. I hope they get better because right now its honestly a bit tough to listen to them

-zyro stop insulting benkeis burgers!!!!! Thats illegal!!!!

-maru and eight should pit their older brothers against each other more often

-"kite unabara. They say hes really good but never looked at his outfit in a mirror. Kinda like you zyro"

-honestly maru is the one who humiliated eight and it would be way funnier if kite tried to battle maru only to be hit with the fact shes five and he thus has no idea what to do.

-i really want to know what sort of mathematics they think kite is doing. Are they linear, polynomial, matrix, probability?? And what probability model is he using? Do i actually care? No

-none of these characters have poker faces

-maru how did you not see it was a defense type earlier??? Maru whered your competence go

-honestly id love a mathematical character where theyre just spouting bullshit and they know it. Thatd be me.

-im trying to think of something lukewarm to say about kite but honestly his character is just annoying for me. He has zero maturity. Hes being pretty easy to ignore though, thankfully for me

-synchrome time!

-guys. Guys. Hear me out. Maru and zyro synchrome. I know what im doing when i finish this series now.

-efrit finally causes some property damage in this series!!!! I was waiting for shit to break!!!!

-summary: maru got to be silly this episode so obviously a 10/10 for me but zyros battle with kite was pretty uninteresting. Eight shined this episode though as annoying as he is at least he got small moments of character depth. The beginning of this episode is honestly something i remember as one of my favorite parts of this series and that hasnt changed.

[cosmicfates]

She wasn't used to people other than the Gang touching her in any way, and it was never with intent to tuck a flower into her hair, or above her ear. Perhaps, because it was Ayato she was momentarily caught off-guard. Could anyone blame her? She didn't expect such a gesture from him.

"No, no you're fine, Ayato, I just hadn't expected it,"

Shinobu was always honest, so she'd let him know her reaction was due to how she'd not been expecting it. Why would she think he'd tuck a flower into her hair? While it could be taken as a romantic gesture she wasn't going to think of it as such. With Ayato she knew he did things that felt /right/ in any given moment, there was likely no other reasoning behind it. Better to think of it that way than to read into it and come out disappointed in the end, right?

As he invited her to sit next to him she'd let out a soft laugh before moving to do so.

"I wouldn't peg you as a biter, Ayato. Nor would I think you would want to bite me."

She'd shake her head again, smiling beneath her mask as she did so. His crass sense of humor was far from that, really. She lived with four guys, three of which had much worse things to say about most women. Never her though, they knew she'd kick their asses if they talked about her, and then Itto? He was too busy pining for someone to say anything about her, not that he'd say anything about her anyway, they respected one another too much to really say anything crass or inappropriate about eachother.

"You say it's crass, which makes me wonder if you remember that I live in a house with four men. Three of which have much more crass senses of humor, the fourth one though? Well, we both know him and he respects me too much to say anything strange anyway."

At his admittance to being used to formality, she'd let out a soft laugh once more, shaking her head as her eyes closed for the briefest moment. She didn't mind that he was relaxing a bit more around her. She liked that he felt at ease enough to do so. Even if some of the things he said were far from things 'proper' for a man of his station.

"I'm glad you're comfortable enough around me to relax as you are. And for the record you don't need to worry about me judging you for anything you say tonight. It'll just be between the two of us."

As he spoke about recognizing why the place gave her peace, she'd smile beneath her mask once again. She was glad she'd bumped into him earlier, while she loved to get some time for herself, his company was more than welcome. As odd as it would be to anyone who may see them together, she knew nobody was around at the moment. They could just peacefully exist with one another in a beautiful and relaxing place.

"You're right, this place is perfect, and peaceful. I don't come here as often as I probably should, but I hardly take time for myself. Itto tries to get me to relax more, but it's hard. I'm just so used to doing so much, relaxing is... it's tough."

Ayato felt the warmth of her gratitude, and a soft chuckle escaped his lips as he took in her reaction. He hadn’t intended to fluster her, yet seeing her momentarily caught off guard by such a simple gesture was endearing.

“I must apologize if I was a bit forward,” he began, his voice gentle but with a trace of amusement. “But I couldn’t help myself. It just felt like that camellia finally found its rightful place.”

He stepped back slightly, his gaze lingering on her for a heartbeat longer than usual. Then, without another word, he turned and sat down on the soft grass at the edge of the cliff, the moonlight reflecting off the water below, creating a serene, almost dreamlike scene. The night was quiet save for the distant sound of waves and the rustling of leaves in the cool breeze. Patting the ground beside him, Ayato tilted his head toward her, the playful glint in his eyes unmistakable.

“Come, sit with me,” he invited with a mischievous smile. “I promise I won’t bite… unless, of course, you want me to.” His eyes twinkled at the joke, but a moment later, he laughed softly, shaking his head. “Forgive my crass sense of humor. I suppose the longer I spend in your company, the less formal I become.”

As he waited for her to sit beside him, Ayato gazed out over the moonlit water, the soft breeze ruffling his hair. “I think I’ve spent so much of my life adhering to formality, to duty, that I almost forgot what it’s like to simply enjoy a moment like this. And I have to say, I’m grateful for your company tonight, Shinobu.”

His voice softened, the sincerity in his words clear. His gaze shifted back to her, and for a moment, the weight of the world seemed a little lighter. “You said this place brings you peace, and now, I think I can see why. It’s perfect.” He smiled, the moonlight catching his expression, warm and unguarded. “And so are you, in this moment.”

⇢ he’s messy with it, often requesting Sanemi’s help. His brother never really gets involved but will give him advice

⇢ he is an absolute teddy bear when he’s with you though. He keeps you blissfully unaware of the hell he causes when you aren’t in his presence

⇢ so has he taken a human life? Yes, but similar to Kanao, the clean up process is what really annoys him

Giyuu x Fem!Reader with Kids!! ♡

AU: Life Without Demons

♡ 𐐪𐑂 ₒ 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ° 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ₒ 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ° 𐐪𐑂 ♡

♡ 𐐪𐑂 ₒ 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ° 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ₒ 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ° 𐐪𐑂 ♡

Giyuu was the first to ask for kids. It was a shock since you’d figure he’d be too nervous and insecure to think he’d be able to be a father. But he loves you too much to not have children with you. He just can’t picture his life without you and both of your guys’ children in his future.

“Y/N...” he approaches you timidly, “I have um something to ask you...” he kept fidgeting with his hands and struggled making eye contact. His cheeks starting to burn. “What is it, Giyuu??” He sat there a bit, his brows knitted together as if he’d trying to figure out how to compile his sentence. “Let’s have children!” He finally bursts out boldly. You were taken back for a second but smiled wide and hugged him, agreeing with all of your heart.

Giyuu didn’t want too many kids. He only wanted about two children. (Maybe three children he’s thinking on it 👀) And that’s what you both had. One boy and one girl. The boy took more of your looks but also had a good mix of Giyuu as well. He ended up taking his eyes and messy hair but had your hair color and overall facial features. The girl was a very good mix between the two of you. The boy was the eldest child.

Giyuu was the type of parent to spoil his children a lot. You often had to stop him because it got hard for him to say no to them a lot of the times. But when it came down to it, he knew when to be strict and stand his ground. Like if one of your children throws a tantrum for not getting the toy they want, Giyuu would have a stern tak with them about how they need to learn the importance of being told “no” and to handle it like a “big boy/girl”

Giyuu would also do whatever it takes to help you with anything around the house or with the kids. He’d also do anything to spend as much time with his children as possible.

Giyuu also secretly loved it when his kids would get nightmares and ask to sleep with the both of you. He really loved sleeping next to his family and would often invite the kids into the futon even if they didn’t have a nightmare that night. They’d always get really excited and join without hesitation. He also LOVES holding their hands. He loves how tiny and soft they are in his large, calloused ones. He also really loved having them ride on his shoulders

When it came down to being the good cop bad cop, you both had an equal share between it. I can see Giyuu being pretty strict but not to the point where it’s suffocating. He’d still take extra precautions to make sure his kids are safe and don’t get into trouble. He also tries to come to complete understandings with his children when they’re in disagreements with him. He’d sit and talk with them and make sure they don’t feel invalidated or hurt. Sometimes though, he’ll have to put his foot down and tell his children to listen to them and not question his thinking. He’ll often try to come back to them later and explain again.

Kamboko Squad and Pillars’ Reactions to First Born (and general interactions with kids)

꘎♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡꘎

When the news got out to everyone that you both were expecting children, they were all so very excited.

You were a few weeks pregnant and Tanjirou (and the rest of the squad) came by to visit and he was able to smell it off you. You were a little shocked how he was able to notice until he explained how his mom smelled a certain way when pregnant with his siblings. Then it made a bit more sense. Kind of.

Poor little boy teared up because of how happy he was for the both of you. He was so happy to see Giyuu with the love of his life and now starting a family. Inosuke got all those fluffy things around his head. He was very soft and gentle around you and it was really cute. Sometimes he’d just stare at your bloated stomach and it seemed like he was having a psychic conversation with the baby lolol.

Nezuko was very excited to meet the new baby and couldn’t wait nine months! Zenitsu was really happy for the both of you and it really warmed his heart to hear the baby’s heartbeat. He also got very scared for you because he heard that giving birth if very painful and he’d never want to go through something like that either.

They all saw your kids as their own little siblings, especially Tanjirou. Tanjirou is very good with kids so they ended up liking Tanjirou a lot and would often beg you to let him visit more often so they could play with him. Nezuko also saw them and her own siblings and would always volunteer to knit/fix their haoris if they ever got damaged. She always brought snacks (usually toasted rice crackers) for the kids when she visited. She also helped with cooking dinner when she visited.

Zenitsu loved playing with them. Until one day your son found a worm and showed it to Zenitsu and he freaked out and thought it was a snake for a second. He started to become more wary of your son from then on.

Inosuke shared his boar mask with them and would let them ride on his back as he ran around. He also visited one day with a nicely wrapped box (wrapped by Tanjirou) and gifted it to your kids. You and Giyuu were very confused to see that it only had acorns in there.

You had Shinobu do regular check ups with you to make sure the pregnancy was going well. Despite her constant teasing, she actually told Giyuu how happy she was for him. This really warmed his heart and he couldn’t thank Shinobu enough for all her help. She helped with both the pregnancies/deliveries

Mitsuri was so so SO excited to meet the new babies!! She seemed more excited than you and Giyuu! She loves babies and thinks they’re really cute. And the fact that it’s going to be yours and Giyuu’s baby??? Geez, that just makes it 10x more adorable!! She really really wanted to be the first friend to hold the baby so you granted her wish. She was crying so much, she was so happy.

The baby’s cheeks became very red from how much Mitsuri pinched them. She nicknamed him her “Little Mochi” because of his squishy cheeks. (and she nicknamed your girl her “Little Sakura”)

Obanai kept trying to deny how happy and excited he was. “Hmph! I don’t do babies. Not at all.” But then he saw its cute, little chubby cheeks and couldn’t resist. He then vowed to be the greatest uncle to your baby boy (and girl once she visited the world)

Kyojuro was really excited to meet the baby too. His booming voice scared the baby and made him cry so Kyo learned to be more quiet around him. He was so nervous holding the baby but then got more use to it and didn’t want to hand him back. He wanted to hold on to the little boy forever!!

Muichiro was mostly dazed out but waved his finger in front of him and your little baby boy held onto him. Muichiro got very happy. “Y/N, Y/N! Look! He’s- he’s holding on to me!!” You’ve never seen him smile so wide. He’d often visit and be like, “Can I play with him today? I’ve missed him.” And he’d play with him for hours! He was the same with your little girl as well once she came around.

Sanemi kept trying to act all tough. “No! I don’t care about kids! Least of all babies! I couldn’t care less about Tomioka’s stupid ba-“ his eyes widened when he saw the baby. Then you saw the most softest smile on his face for the first time. He hugged the baby tight to him and didn’t let go or move for a while. He might or might not have teared up. But you swore with him that you saw nothing 👀 He’d make plenty of ohagi for the kids and make some extra for you and Giyuu. Giyuu was very happy to see Sanemi opening up a bit more and glad he became better friends with him as well.

“Tch, don’t get too comfortable, Tomioka. I’m only here for my niece, nephew and Y/N.” He was teasing he loved Giyuu too.

Tengen and his wives were all over the baby! His wives loved the baby so so so much!! They even planned out a baby shower for you when they heard the news so a lot of your baby stuff came from them! Once he finally joined the world, all of them teared up from joy. They all took turns holding the baby, playing with him, bouncing him on their laps. Tengen said that if you or Giyuu ever needed help, him and his wives were right there anytime.

The wives loved playing with your daughter! They’d often do her hair and make it really pretty. They’d also often spoil her with new pretty kimonos and hairpins and always said, “Once she gets older, we’ll always have girls nights out! Do all kind of girl talks and girl things! It’ll be so much fun!!”

Tengen got the baby a whole bunch of shiny jewelry and was like, “Ha! Now your baby boy shall be flamboyant! Even more flamboyant than he was before!!” He also secretly found it extremely adorable how he looked like a little baby Giyuu at first. Then he grew to have more of your facial features and it just made it even cuter for Tengen. He had a little soft spot for your daughter because he thought having a daughter would be very precious so he’d literally do anything for her (and would protect her with his life)

Gyomei was SO happy!!! He of course teared up too and was very very gentle with him. It was kind of cute seeing such a large man hold such a tiny little human. It’s like he could fit them each in one palm. He was one of your go to nanny’s and he’d always wear a pink apron when looking over the kids. He’d spoil them with lots of baked sweets. Everytime he visited, he always had a new beaded necklace to gift them. They ended getting too many and he stopped at one point. But he still gave them one on their birthdays

Shinobu found babies/kids a bit icky since they do have many bodily fluids they can’t control and sometimes don’t wash their hands but she still did normal check ups with them and was very good with them. She’d often visit with some new toys for the kids. She even got your daughter and little butterfly clip. Your son felt left out so she got him one too. For a while both your kids refered to her as the “Butterfly Lollipop Lady” since she gave them lollipops after every doctor visit. She’d just smile chillingly at Giyuu and say, “Tomioka-San, I figured you’d at least teach them my name after all I’ve done for you and your wife.” She was just teasing, she secretly loved her nickname

Shinobu also really loved listening to the baby’s heartbeat through a stethoscope. She also loved putting her hand on your belly and often talked to the baby. She’ll never admit to anyone else but she really enjoyed doing these things with both your pregnancies

# REAL LOVE

“think I'd lose my mind, but then I see, my baby, and it’s real love” — HOMESHAKE:REAL LOVE

Maitsuri Kanroji x Fem!Reader

AN: I finally did the fic!! and also if u somehow found this Becca, I like you a lot and im perfectly fine with being ur friend and I hope you find someone else that you like and this is kinda dedicated to you c:

Warnings!: Unrequited love, angst, girl liking girl, mentions of insecurity

Something in the way she looked enticed you to get to know her better. You didn’t know what it was, was it her bright hair that shined in the sun, her big doe green eyes that sparkled, the permanent blush on her round cheeks, or the sweet big smile that seemed to always reach her eyes causing them to close and crinkle.

Whatever it was, it didn’t matter what made you want to get to know her better, because right when you both locked eyes in the ramen booth, you knew she was going to be someone important in your life and you weren’t at all opposed to that.

If anyone asked you to describe the type of person Mitsuri was, you would be able to go on and on with a flustered gleeful face. Mitsuri was a happy girl who saw the beauty in many things who not only was very physically strong, but also mentally strong. You couldn’t help but admire how strong she was when she was mocked for her hair color, her love for food and how she seemed to be able to carry pounds of bricks with no problem. She grew and never let others peoples words get to her and used her tough stature to her advantage to help others.

She was perfect in your eyes and even when she stuffed what seemed to be the twelfth bowl of ramen in her mouth at the booth you were both in, she was still so perfect and you listened patiently with nothing but a kind smile and blush as she rambled on about her last mission she had with a close black haired friend of hers. But even when she went on and on about some random topic she wanted to talk with you, she always made sure that you had time to talk as well.

“Enough about me though!” Mitsuri bashfully said and stacked the now empty ramen bowl with the others and turned to face you. “What did you do in the morning?” She asked with that iconic smile and blush of hers.

You answered back with an even bigger smile and more prominent blush on your face. It was always happy and smiles with her, but when she was with you, it seemed it was more like excitement and beaming.

Maybe you were stupid and were just taking these signs the wrong way but when you confided you Shinobu and Kyojuro, two of your close friends, they cheered you on and said how she most definitely liked you back—all the signs were there and they joked about you were just in denial lol f it and how you should hurry and confess. You pondered on the idea, it would definitely be a nice thing to happen if she accepted your confession. You can imagine what expression she’ll have, she’d be so flustered and embarrassed but would silently fangirl at the fact someone confessed to her.

Imagine the scene, taking her to see the stars at night with her favorite snacks in a basket near you, and the light of stars would make her eyes twinkle and shine, making them illuminate even more than the sun ever could. Then you both would lock eyes, staring at es her with soft blushes and smiles, then you would confess and you would finally be able to place your lips onto her plump rosy lips you desired so much.

Everything about it would be perfect and the relationship from then on would only get better since you were sure that she felt the same, so why is she talking to the serpent pillar with an even bigger smile, twinkling eyes, and a red face than she ever had with you—and why was he looking at her with the same admiration that you also had with her��?

Everything came crashing down for you and the realization hit. She didn’t like you back, she liked someone else, you were nothing but a friend that she would hang out with to talk so she can relax and eat. You were nothing but someone to pass the time with, nothing but a friend, and nothing more.

Why did you even think you had a chance? She’s a beauty, a strong capable one—and one of the hashiras at that! Compared to her, you were a puny nobody who was most likely going to the die in hands of some weak demon. Harshly grabbing at your hair in anger as you angrily sobbed on a bed in one of the many rooms in the butterfly estate. Kanao came in to hand Shinobu a cup of tea for you and quickly left, not before giving you one last glance. Shinobu patted your soothingly in hopes of stopping your tears, but it only made it worse. Crying in front of a hashira? How embarrassing! It’s no wonder Mitsuri didn’t like you back, you were too weak, that’s why she would obviously go after someone who’s on the same level as her. It’s common sense.

So why did it hurt? Why does my heart ache at the thought of you being with someone else? “Shinobu.. why does it hurt—am I not good enough?!” You cried to Shinobu who only looked at you sympathetically and embraced you as the moon shined through the cracks of the window curtain. You didn’t hug back and only had one thing in mind, she never answered your question.

Just how pathetic and stupid are you to fall for someone who you never had a chance with to begin with.

Dedicated to Becca, my safe place, my best friend, and my crush who I’ll never get over of. You’ll always be the best friend who I’ll always love and always have since we first met.

I love you, Becca

My best friend, from Mena

I'm definitely gonna binge write this series after watching the movie, I literally cant stop thinking about it--

Send in as much requests as you want!! :))

I do fluff, different AU's, angst and NSFW(we'll see).

Keep in mind, I havent read the manga. I'm caught up to the train Arc and that's it, so try not to spoil anything by requesting characters that havent appeared yet lol

Holding hands is sort of a need for him-

He's huge with PDA and holding your small hand within his reassures him quite a bit. He never needs to ask to hold your hand, he just grips it whenever and wherever.

I feel like he'll sense when your nervous and be really perceptive, so he'd hold your hand to ground you in a way

It's highly effectve.

"Delicious!" Your energetic boyfriend chirped, eating his takoyaki with fervour and a bright smile.

You ate your own food from across him, shaking your head a little with a slight smile slanting onto your lips.

It's definitely been a long day, so winding down and eating with your amazing boyfriend is definitely a preferable way to end it.

He sort of sensed your stress as you came back from training, sweat sleek across your forehead. And thus, he ran a bath for you and then took you out for dinner to take your mind off of whatever was bothering you.

He's always had a keen intuition and was brilliant at reading emotions on others. It was a weird super power at this point. But he noticed how relaxed you were now that you were with him, it melted his heart.

His eyes flickered over your expression, his eyes soft with adoration and affection." This is certainly calming after a long day!" He exclaimed happily.

At his jolly aura, you nodded in agreement," Honestly... It's like you have some weird superpower to make me forget about whatever was annoying me. Kinda freaky." You shivered.

Letting out a hearty laugh, the man reached out, interlacing his long fingers with yours suddenly. The warmth of his skin sending goosebumps over your arms.

"I just know you too well! Nothing wrong or freaky about that!" His grin was filled with light.

Your fingers tightened around his, his warm skin seemed to be heating up your own body as well. Thank God, you were beginning to get cold anyways.

"Have I ever told you about how cute your hands are!" It was more of a statement than a question, pulling his hand and your hand closer to him so he could get a better glimpse at your soft hands." So tiny... So soft. It's like I'm being touched by an angel!"

"Geez, you're cheesy."

"You love it~!"

"... Fair point."

•«☔︎ 𝙜𝙞𝙮𝙪𝙪 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙤𝙠𝙖 ☔︎»•

Bro I'm sorry, but I dont think he holds your hand much-

I feel like he thinks he doesnt need to show how much he loves you through actions, more so through blunt words.

But he will get the sudden urge to hold your hand every once in a while, so be prepared because he could get the jump on you at any point.

Doesnt like PDA that much, it makes him slightly uncomfortable because it's in public but I feel like he would get used to it later in your relationship.

Ocean-blue eyes stared at you hesitantly as you continued to speak about the new breathing technique you had learned.

Both you and Giyuu were walking peacefully through the garden you had grown over the years, the plants varying in different colours and sizes. They reminded him of you.

Your peaceful personality cued him to remember the petals of the flowers blowing gently in the breeze. Not to mention you smell very distinctly and sweet just like the flowers as well.

But as he walked with you in this haven, he felt pretty agitated and frustated. He hid it well with his usual deapan expressions, but he could feel the pit of the emotions growing bigger.

His hand twitched suddenly when the back of yours brushed against his, his cheeks tinting pink at the abrupt contact.

Gulping, he looked straight ahead with sharp eyes and a furrowed brow.

The atmosphere shifted.

And when you had stopped talking, he knew that you had noticed the harsh shift as well.

"Giyuu?... Are you feeling okay? You look like you're burning up." You questioned out of concern, a worried expression upon your face.

Shaking his head briefly, the ravenette continued to walk with his head staring straight ahead," I feel optimal. Why do you ask?" He was so obviously trying to change the subject.

You frowned a little at the stiff response and opened your mouth to respond but your boyfriend had beaten you to it.

"Let me h-... Hold your... Hand... Please." He uttered, looking down with red cheeks, an embarrassed scowl squirmed on his lips.

You were silent for a long while, making him wait nervously for your answer. What he wasn't expecting was the cute snort of laughter coming from you and grabbing his hand tightly within your own, your other hand wrapping around his forearm like it was a substitute teddy bear.

His cheeks heated up tenfold and he had to look away before you noticed.

"You're such a cutie. You don't need to ask to hold my hand you know?" You teased lightly, nudging him playfully by bumping your hip against his.

"I-it's embarrassing." He retorted.

"Whatever, cutie."

"No."

"Yes."

"Stop it."

She would sooo tease you for wanting to hold her hand-

Like, she would hold it obvi, but she'd tease you about it for a good 5 minutes before finally giving up lol

Flustering you is one of her favourite pastimes, it was what your relationship was built on top of in the first place. Teasing eachother was always a thing you guys did.

But Kocho takes teasing to a MAXIMUM.

It's like you guys are challenging eachother to a tease off and she just refuses to loose. She'd rather die.

Dramatic but true

What a fucking queen-

"Ara, ara~ what was that? You want to hold my hand?" The raven haired woman pressed her hand against her lips, raising a suggestive eyebrow at you." Oh~ How scandalous! You're saying we should do pre-martial hand holding? why, that's practically a crime!"

You deadpanned at your girlfriend's words," Holding your hand is a crime?..."

"Mmhm!"

"But we literally made-out yester-"

She smiled at you passive-aggressively," I'm afraid we can't hold hands until we're married! Too bad!" She sighed, pretending to seem devastated ," How could you suggest we do such a lewd thing? In public, no less! You're quite the little scoundrel, hmm?~"

Your deadpan only deepened," Well then... I guess I'll just have to marry you then, hm? So I can hold your hand for the rest of my life." You chimed out, a slight twinkle in your eye. At the sight of Kocho's cheeks tinting a bright red, you smirked in triumph." Oya~? What's that I see? Is that blush?" You poked her warm cheek affectionately," I think it iiiis~!"

Biting her lip, Kocho scoffed and rolled her eyes," Just because you won doesn't mean you-... Shut up." She huffed out, losing her composure.

" Aha! So I won." You grinned out," I think I deserve a prize for winning for like... the first time." You said that last part quickly.

" You're not getting a kiss, if that's what you're referring to!" She smiled up at you passive aggressively.

Now the win didn't even feel like a win.

I guess, Kocho will always win in the end.

You pouted at her, eyebrows furrowed," You're so petty...." You groaned out, before a cheeky grin crossed over your lips," How about letting me hold your hand instead?"

Kocho stared at your grin with an unimpressed look, before her eyes softened and a gentle smile spread onto her perfect lips." Wipe that cheeky grin off of your face and I might consider it."

A bright smile instantly spread onto your lips and you held out your hand expectantly for her to take it. Her radiant smile only widened and her hand settled into yours, her warm fingers closing over your own as if she was keeping them safe in her hold.

" Now you have to marry me." She stated simply," I want to hold your hand in mine for the rest of my life as well."

BRUUUUH THIS FUCKING MAN-

Ok, so hear me out lol-

I have read up on his character a tiny bit and bro he's such a fucking SOFTY like-

If you were to ask him to hold your hand he'd highkey have to process what you said for like a minute or two before finally agreeing to it lol

He has such a tough-guy exterior when on the inside he's actually really caring to those who are important to him.

Definitely one of those characters who seem like pricks but they like something cute like cats or something-

"Uhm... Sanemi?" You spoke up suddenly, interrupting the peaceful silence.

Your boyfriend broke out of his daze of appreciating your beauty and hummed to let you know that he was listening, picking up some of his uneaten rice with his chopsticks.

"Can... Can I h-hold your hand?"

He choked on the rice he was eating, coughing into his fist and thumping his other hand against his chest to try and get the rice that shot down the back of his throat to go down.

You went to get out of your chair to help him, concern etched onto your face, but he held a hand up to stop you. Instead, you simply passed your water to him, as of which he chugged greatfully.

When he had finally gained his composure, he held out a slightly trembling hand, his cheeks tinted red as he let out a gruff," yeah... Of course you can, idiot. You don't have to ask..."

Adoration bloomed in your chest at his words and you grabbed his outstretched hand, instantly interlocking your fingers with his. Absentmindedly, you ran your thumb up and down his hand comfortingly as you smiled like an idiot to yourself.

Ba-dump.

Sanemi's heart thumped in his chest at the look of love on your face, feeling his whole body heating up. The wind pillar was known for being ruthless, intimidating and quite frankly... A bit of an asshole.

But around you? He's a completely different person.

Between you and his little brother, he's always going to have a huge soft spot for you both.

So he'll always treat you well.

Squeezing your hand lovingly, he let a slight smirk curl onto his lips," You look like a dumbass smiling like that.... You must really like me, huh?" He tried to tease.

"I don't like you."

Arrows shot through his heart, his smirk dropping in an instant," Oi-!"

You giggled at his response," I love you."

The frown on his lips wobbled a little, threatening to break out into an idiotic smile. Clearing his throat, he looked away from you and pressed the back of his unoccupied hand against his mouth to hide the smile that threatened to appear.

"Oh..." He could only respond with," y-yeah... Same here."

"You're so socially inept."

"I'm damn not!!" He grumbled, eyebrows furrowing," I fucking love you too!! Is that better?"

You grinned childishly, bringing his hand up to your mouth and placing a light kiss to it," much better."

It's safe to say that this was the day he vowed to marry you.

MHA au fun facts:

Miu has the cat ears connected to spotify, so whenever Kokichi tells her "Spotted some villains, going to stop them." She waits until he says some greeting before blasting a song suited for the moment. Rantaro chooses the song.

Rantaro feels guilty about not being as active in Kokichi's vigilantism as Miu is. Sometimes he'll swing in to give a last minute save for Kokichi. Kokichi thinks Rantaro does more than enough.

Miu frequents the cafe Kokichi works at, but she doesn't buy anything. The owners don't mind.

Chiaki runs the cafe Kokichi works at.

Chiaki has dream manipulation. She can enter dreams, change dreams or stop dreams.

Nagito and Hajime became heros in honor of their daughter who they lost during a villain attack.

Kokichi didn't really have a last name for a while. He took the surname "Ouma" since he had a friend named Oma who had died in a villain attack. But the thing is, he used the wrong spelling, adding a u in the name. He hasn't realized, and his friend is laughing at his mistake from beyond.

Tenko, Kaito, Shuichi, Kaede, Maki, Kiibo and Tsumugi are heros in training.

Despite having cat based gear, Kokichi is allergic to cat hair. He loves cats and is willing to suffer.

Junko is a villain, but she prefers to work under somebody else.

Sometimes Kaito and Kokichi will somehow "accidentally" run into each other in their hero/vigilante personas. Kokichi teaches Kaito some combat tricks and Kaito gives him gear tips.

"What, you mean you don't know how to use the wall when you kick a bad guy?"

"No???? You damn cat."

Mikan is a healer with the agency Hajime works for. She's called Naosu, but the heros in training call her "Nurse san."

Shuichi's quirk lets him see all of the pieces of a puzzle and when he's able to solve something his strength, speed and ability increase. The duration of the boost depends on how tough the case or puzzle was.

Nagito has knives in his shoes, like how Shinobu from Demon Slayer does. He doesn't use them much. Once he needed to cut something for food, so he used his knife shoes. Hajime scolded him for doing so.

Shuichi and Kokichi also work together. Instead of needing a random puzzle, Kokichi lets Shuichi find something out about himself while they fight crime.

Shuichi is looking for Rantaro, since they were friends until Rantaro got pulled out of middle school and went off the grid.

The slashes on Kokichi's suit and on random Shadow Cat merch is a reference to when Kokichi had been fighting a villain and it slashed his chest open (when he still only wore a hoodie) He had stood up, wiped blood from his lip before going "you missed my throat." That's what caused him to go viral.

One time, Kokichi referred to Miu and Rantaro as his wives, as a joke.

"Can we get this over with? My wives are waiting for me."

"Wives? Plural?"

"Yeah. I got two, a girl and a guy. I don't have the heart to tell the fem wife I'm gay."

Miu is aware Kokichi is gay

Chapter eight

You heard Hana and Jamie bickering in the living room as you took the burnt part off of the bell peppers you roasted. You were looking out the window in front of the sink every once in a while to check up on the kids. They were having fun playing with their father and uncles. You’ve never seen them smile brighter.

You were happy that they finally had their father, Tobio was a good figure but obviously not their real father. Earlier Rin gave his first scolding to your son for shoving Akira and he also told Akira that calling people idiot wasn’t nice. You couldn’t help but snicker behind your cardigan since he was obviously nervous and a bit awkward but it all worked out in the end. The twins and your best friends were peering through the door at the scene and they were in awe.

It just looked so natural. You, Rin and the kids. All that’s missing is a pet dog or cat. Jamie thought if you and Rin really try then you both could fall in love again and be a nice family all together. She grew up with divorced parents so she knew how tough it could be. She doesn’t want to hear you and Rin fighting in the future about upcoming holidays. Or maybe eventually having to separate the twins.

“Hana do you think you could ask the guys if they want to stay for dinner?” You said from the kitchen. “Oka-“ “No y/n, I think you should do it.” Jamie popped in. “Huh? I’m literally cooking.” You said as you reached into the bag of roasted peppers. Your fingers were stuck onto the black crisps. “You’re trying to avoid them.” She squinted and you rolled your eyes. “No I’m not.” You defended yourself. “Yes you are.” She deadpanned. “You never say no to setting for your kids. Even if you’re busy you tell them to give you five or ten minutes but when Rini asked you straight up said no since you needed to cook. I think that stung him a bit. He probably wanted to show off his skills to his dad.” She said and you frowned slightly. “I mean it’s fine, she’s probably uncomfortable which makes sense. The worst people in the world are just chilling in her house. It makes sense that she’s on edge.” The familiar voice said and you turned to see Atsumu leaning against the breakfast bar between your kitchen and living room. You didn’t want to say he’s right..but I mean..he’s right.

“...would you like to stay for dinner?” You asked awkwardly as Jaime sighed and walked away. “Mmm depends, what are you making?” He teased to try to help you ease up. “Food, either take it or leave it.” You said plainly as you flipped the pepper on the stove. “I miss your cooking so I think I’ll stay. Let me call Osamu so he can help.” He said and you immediately protested. “No it’s fine, you guys are the guests. I’ll feel bad.” You said and he chuckled. “Y/N-Chan..” he started, “Osamu owns his own restaurant, all he does is eat, cook, and work out. He would want nothing more than to help you cook. It’s in his DNA.” He said and you rolled your eyes. “Fine ask Rin if he wants to stay too.” You said. “Oh he’ll want to stay, plus we all carpooled together.” He said and you nodded and he left.

“Yo, we gotta go.” Jamie said from the doorway. “Did you say bye to the kids?” You asked and she nodded. “Sorry Y/N, we have a doctors appointment.” Jamie frowned slightly. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll call you later.” You smiled and she nodded sadly. After a quick goodbye hug they were out the door and Osamu was waiting in the kitchen to help you cook.

“Alright boss, let’s get started.” He said as he washed his hands and you chuckled.

Dinner went good, the kids mainly talked and were the stars of the show. After dinner they wanted to show their uncles and dad their Minecraft worlds on their tablets, courtesy of Tobio.

Suna offered to help clean up but you insisted it was fine and to spend as much time with the kids and he reluctantly agreed and you were left alone.

Your phone buzz after you sat on the breakfast bar to enjoy yet another cup of tea and you almost spilled it when you saw who was calling. “Holy shit, holy shit.” You muttered and the guys immediately turned to you from their spots on the couch. “I’m going to take this phone call I’ll be right back.” You said leaving Rin in charge and you answered while you made your way down the hall.

“Hello?” “Hi is this Y/N? This is Natsuo, the songwriter and director for the soundtrack for Kimetsu No Yaiba. From my understanding you are voicing Nezuko and Shinobu, correct?” “That is correct, sir.” You replied, “Well I stumbled across your portfolio and resume and I phone called your old vocal coach and he said some things about you.” He said. “Well I hope they’re all good.” You chuckled nervously.

“Yes they’re more than good actually and I wanted to offer you the opportunity of singing the opening for the anime, if not then maybe the outro. Would you be interested? Of course you’d have to come to the studio and sing for us and we’ll decide but I wanted to ask first since I know you also work as a volleyball commentator as well.” He said and you gasped.

“Yes sir of course, I would be honored...” you said happily. “Great! I see that you come in the studio on Monday for the read through of the script. Can you come earlier to audition?” He asked and you agreed and set up a time.

Normally any other person would want to audition after but if it’s singing, you can’t eat or drink sweet stuff before because it messes up your throat and you can accidentally burp and embarrass yourself. So you’d rather do the singing audition before and eat whatever is at the snack bar during the read through.

When you hung up the phone you squealed and did a little happy dance. You quickly took a deep breath and you made your way out of your office back to the living room. “Um...where are the twins? The Miya’s I mean.” You asked when you saw that only Suna was chilling with a kid on each side of him. “Osamu needed to check up on his shop and Atsumu had to go to the gym. I decided to stay behind because I didn’t know how long you would take.” He replied.

“But didn’t you all carpool?” You asked and he nodded. “I can Uber. Don’t worry.” He said and you nodded and sat next to Rini. “Kids guess what.” You said happily and they both looked up from their tablets. “I go to the studio on monday—“ “THE STUDIO CAN WE GO?!” They immediately asked with bright eyes. “Uh—I don’t know guys, I’m working and Jamie has work too i don’t know if someone can watch you guys at the studio.” You said. “What time and I’ll go. I can keep them entertained.” Suna spoke up.

“I’m gonna be there for a few hours..I’ll have a read through of the script and a song audition before that..” you told him. “Wait what do you do anyways?” He asked curiously and the kids gasped. “You don’t know what mommy does for a living?! She’s the coolest mom in the world.” Rini exclaimed with extended arms to emphasize the world. “Listen to the voice of the narrator.“ Akira said and shoved the tablet in his hands. It was Peppa pig. Honestly they couldn’t find a cooler role you played in? Even the side characters were fine, but Akira had to choose peppa pig.

Rin listened to peppa as she scolded her little brother Georgie. And finally he heard your voice narrate what happened and his eyes widened. “No way, you’re a voice actor?” He asked and you nodded. “Wow imagine that. You were always so shy and now your voice is heard by millions across the world.” He teased and your face tinted.

“Well when you put it like that it freaks me out!” You snatched the tablet from his hands and the kids looked at each other with raised brows. “I’m only kidding. But it’s pretty amazing that you do that. Any big roles you’re playing soon?” He asked. “I may or may not be acting in Kimetsu No Yaiba.” You said which was a manga series you both were obsessed with when you were together. “Say sike right now.” He gasped and you gave him that I’m serious face.

“Congrats Y/N. That’s freaking amazing. May i ask who you’re voicing?” He asked and you shook your head. “That’s a secret.” You said and he sighed. “Man got my hopes up for nothing.” He muttered causing your kids to giggle.

“Momma we invited dad to the field trip tomorrow he said yes.” Akira spoke up and your eyes widened. “Wait what—“ “I didn’t necessarily say yes. I wanted to make sure it was cool with you, first. They told me that they were homeschooled and you take them to different places for field trips all the time.” He tried to correct Akira and you nodded.

“Well...I mean..if you want to go then it’s fine. We’re going to an aquarium.” You said and the kids gave him puppy dog eyes. “Alright I’ll go then. It’ll be fun and you guys can show me what you’ve learned.” He smiled softly and the kids cheered. Is this really a good idea? You don’t know. But if your kids are happy, then you’re happy.

“Rin It’s getting late they have bath time and then they need to sleep.” You told him as the kids ran up and down the hall racing with Rini’s toy cars. “Alright then I’ll leave.” “I’m not kicking you out of anything-“ “No it’s fine I get it. I’ve intruded in your territory long enough.” He chuckled and you nodded. “Children of the corn! I’m leaving.” He called and immediately the kids emerged from the hallway and began whining and protesting. “You need to take a bath then go to bed. It’s late. I’m seeing you tomorrow anyways.” He knelt down on his knee to be of eye level with the kids.

“But we don’t want you to leave. I won’t sleep if you don’t read me a story.” Rini pouted and Akira nodded and you both sighed. “Fine, I’ll read you a bed time story and you will go sleep.” He told them and they nodded.

You rounded up the kids for a bubble bath and Rin was sitting on the counter as you explained what kind of kids soap you use and such. But he was mostly watching the kids play with the bubbles. “Hey Akira do you think I’ll look cool with my hair like this?” Rini asked with his messy wannable mohawk, he looked more like the grinch. Akira looked at her brother and snorted. “You look like a troll.” She muttered causing Rini to pout. “You’re so mean.” He mumbled. You got the shower head and told Akira to close her eyes as you finished washing her hair and body and she was finished. “Do you wanna try to finish Rini while I change Akira?” You asked Suna and his eyes widened. “I only know how to bathe my dog, I don’t know how to bathe a kid.” He protested. “Weren’t you watching me?” You asked. “I was distracted with the bubbles, okay.” He deadpanned and you sighed. “Rini help your dad.” You said plainly and left despite Suna’s protests.

“Alright princess, let’s get you dried up and ready for bed, yeah?” You asked the shivering girl in your arms and she nodded. You placed her on the bed and dried her hair a bit and you began to put on her lotion. You helped her into her underwear and she wanted to wear her fox onzie so you began helping her feet in when Rini stumbled in naked with Rin chasing after him with a towel. They were both soaking wet.

“Oh my god.” You sighed. “Boys.” Akira mumbled and you nodded. “You’re worse than washing a dog.” He said as he held him and dried his hair. “Woof.” Rini snickered and Suna flicked his forehead. “I’m soaking wet now.” He deadpanned to his son. You zipped up Akira after successfully placing her in her onzie and you moved on to your son. “Stop giving your dad such a hard time, he’s new to this whole parenting thing ya know?” You told him as you began to rub his face with lotion. “Akira go brush your teeth.” You told her and she pulled her dad along with her. “What do you want to wear to sleep?” You asked. “Can I wear my Fox onzie too?” He asked and you nodded. “Of course.” You replied and helped him into it too.

Rini went on his way to brush his teeth and you were met with the view of Rin helping his daughter floss and you just wanted to melt. This was so freaking cute. You don’t know if your heart could handle the cuteness. “Alrighty next victim!” Rin said and picked up Rini. He began to help him brush his teeth. You helped Akira down from the counter and she went off to look for a good book. You decided it was best to get one of Tobio’s shirts and shorts he had lying around for Rin so he wouldn’t get sick.

When Rini finished brushing his teeth, he went out to help Akira search for a book. “Are you still soaked?” You asked and Suna nodded. “Here wear this so you won’t get sick.” You tossed him some gym shorts and a random T-shirt. He gave a small thanks and you closed the bathroom door to leave him to change. “Alright where are my little foxes?” You hummed and you found your little demons kids jumping on your bed and patiently waiting to read. “Why aren’t you both in bed?” You asked and they stopped jumping and turned to you. “We wanna sleep here with you and daddy!” Rini said and you almost choked on air.

WITH RIN?! ARE THEY CRAZY OR CRAZY?

“Baby he’s not spending the night. He’s only going to read you a bedtime story then leave. You’ll see him tomorrow when you wake up.” You told them and they both had the saddest look on their faces. “But we wanna sleep with you and daddy. Please can he spend the night. Please please please!” Akira begged.

“I don’t mind if you don’t. It’s only for the night.” Rin almost whispered in your ear and you turned your head to him. “Are you sure? What about tomorrow? What are you going to wear?” You asked, “We can stop by my apartment in the morning before we head out.” He said and you raised a brow and turned back to your kids they were already comfy on the middle of your bed and you released your nth sigh of the day. “Fine, one night.” You answered and grabbed your pajamas and left to the bathroom to change.

When you returned Rin was on the left side of the bed with Rini right next to him. Akira patted your spot on the right side and you sat against the headboard of the bed. The twins had two books they wanted you both to read but they all fell asleep while you read the second one. You looked to see Rin, Rini and Akira sleeping and you can never get over how similar they looked like Rin. You quietly hopped out of bed and put the books away and turned off the lights.

You woke up to the sun shining on your face and arms around your waist. You felt a weight on your chest and you sighed and opened your eyes. You blinked a few times to make sure you weren’t seeing things but sure enough, Rin was sleeping on your chest. Just like old times and you tried to control your breathing. You don’t want to be the type of ex who yells and they fall off the bed. You realized the kids were not on the bed too and if Rin was cuddling you, then they must have been gone for a while.

“Rintarou—the kids—WAKE UP!” You quickly shook him and he opened his eyes and quickly moved away. He felt around him and he noticed the kids weren’t there. You both paused in silence to see if you can hear them but when you didn’t you quickly yeeted yourself off the bed with Rin following right at your tail. You opened the door to the twins room and you saw them in their own bed hugging their plushies. You held a hand over your chest and you leaned against the doorframe. “My heart literally dropped.” You turned to Rin.

“Mine did too. Do they usually do that?” He asked. “No, never.” You sighed and closed the door.

The twins opened their eyes and they looked at eachother from across the room. “I told you mom would get a heart attack. We’re lucky she didn’t cry.” Akira whispered. “Whatever at least they cuddled together like a nice married couple.” Rini whispered back and Akira nodded. “I hope mommy and daddy get back together.” Akira said. “They will, our plan is perfect.” Rini whispered mischievously and Akira smiled.

[solicuttle]

Hi! I hope this doesnt bother you! Can i request some Sanemi fluff with demon slayer s/o? Like they could be training together then they just take care of each other after that. Thanks!

Nope, not at all! While I haven’t really written for Sanemi before, it’s fun to try it out,,, its all good!

Warnings: None

Word Count: 0.4k

Characters: Shinazugawa Sanemi

Why in the world would you want to practice with Sanemi? Sure, it’s one thing to want to be stronger to fight demons, but you could always ask Giyuu instead please don’t Sanemi would fry him alive.

There’s no way Sanemi is going to go easy on you, especially not because you’re his S/O. In fact, he’s probably going to work his ass off to give you a tough challenge. You can complain all you like, but Sanemi would much rather you stay alive.

That doesn’t mean that after each session Sanemi isn’t by your side to make sure you didn’t face any severe injuries. Although he does want you to be stronger, he doesn’t want you to be seriously injured during training Sanemi would prefer if you could stay far away from demons entirely but that’s a can of worms we aren’t going to open.

Whether you like it or not, after training with Sanemi you will be seated in front of Shinobu for a checkup. Sometimes you guys might not even be close to the butterfly estate but Sanemi can and will drag you to her.

You’d had to argue with Sanemi for 30 minutes straight that a bruise on your back from falling wasn’t going to kill you and despite your arguing you ended up in Shinobu’s estate. The woman treated you kindly (and definitely wasn’t laughing at you).

And that brings you to today – after a particularly tough mission with a demon where you’d both gotten injured, Sanemi had decided you needed to train again. He’d ignored his own injuries because you’d gotten hurt as well and somehow that was much worse than him just getting injured.

As your “punishment” for not being able to dodge the exact same demon that injured Sanemi, you were sparring.

“Oi, put more effort into it!” Of course, it’s easy for your boyfriend to say because Sanemi currently has the upper hand. He’s not holding back because you’re both using wooden swords to prevent any more injuries.

Your thinking distracts you and Sanemi takes advantage of that, swiping the sword under your foot and knocking you onto your back.

“What are you getting distracted for?! What would you have done if it was a demon, huh?!” Sanemi cares you know, even if his form of care is knocking you onto your ass for the nth time this week.

“You know I love you, right?” Your words stop Sanemi’s complaining in the tracks, the male sticking out his hand for you to pull yourself up.

“Nice try, we’re still going to Shinobu.” Damn.

BnHA Chapter 264: You Either Die a Hero...

Previously on BnHA: The kids of 1-A sat around waiting for something exciting to happen, and then it did happen, and they were all “!!” Over on the front lines, the heroes charged the Ol’ Villain Hotel with poor Kaminari crying the entire time, but we’ll excuse him since he is only in the second grade. Tokoyami gave him some gentle encouragement by reminding him of how hard he can slappa da bass, while Midnight told him to think of his one true love in order to find his inner courage, so he immediately thought of Jirou and everyone was like WHOA DID THEY REALLY JUST, and yeah, they kind of did? Anyway so Cementoss ripped the building open and Kaminari got all Thor on us and started battling this other electric guy, and then we cut to Hawks and Twice, who were having a friendly conversation similar to the friendly conversation Hawks had with Best Jeanist on the very same day that Jeanist abruptly went missing and was never heard from again! Hey, wait a second. You guys don’t suppose...??

Today on BnHA: Re-Destro gathers in the basement with all his followers and they’re all like “Re-Destro!!” and he’s all “what??” and they’re all “the heroes are attacking!!” and he’s all “:) :) :) the fuck??!” Outside, the heroes continue to wreak havoc, and between Edgeshot, Midnight, Honenuki and Toadette, I’m pretty sure they have actually killed some of these guys. But that’s silly though because heroes would never actually kill someone. Speaking of heroes not killing someone, back in the hotel, Hawks is all “(Ò‸Ó)” and Twice is all “(இ‸இ)” and then Hawks is all “I’m gonna arrest you but I’ll help you get through this and get back on your feet again afterwards because you’re a good person” and Twice is all “WHAT THE FUCK NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN” and does the whole Sad Man Parade thing. And Hawks is all “I don’t want to fight you!” and Twice is all “TOO BAD” and meanwhile Dabi is running up the stairs all “time to start some shit” and then the chapter ends. So while I’m relieved on behalf of Hawks’s soul, I can’t help but be a little concerned on behalf of his, uh, life. Shit.

okay, so! I finally have time to read this damn thing. but before I start, a couple of holdover thoughts from the prior chapter!

firstly, I want to go on the record now and say that I’ve decided once again that Hawks, in spite of all appearances, is not a murderer. you hear that Hawks. I’m putting my neck on the line for you. gonna look like a real stooge if you go and murder Twice before going on to fight Dabi to the death while we cut to Noumu!Jeanist taunting Bakugou

but in all seriousness, I just can’t reconcile it with what we know of Hawks’s character. his behavior during the fight against Hood almost got him exposed because he couldn’t bear to let anyone get hurt or to let Endeavor get killed. I know the HPSC got their claws in him at a young age, but in spite of that I don’t think he’s harboring a dark side. to me he always just comes off as tired and struggling to do the right thing even though he never asked to be put into this kind of position. he’s smart enough to understand the whole “needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” thing, but he’s also young enough to still hold to a certain idealism, and juuust cocky enough to have faith in his own cleverness and convince himself that he can somehow achieve this mission without sacrificing anyone else’s life

so in short, I don’t buy the dark!Hawks theories. I just can’t. but I guess we’re about to see! and my guess is that Horikoshi will probably have Dabi interrupt before Hawks can reveal his hand either way, because Horikoshi is just like that. what a troll

(ETA: I forgot that sometimes Horikoshi also likes to troll by giving you exactly what you want but in the most painful way possible. shit.)

now, moving on, the other thing I wanted to quickly address is Viz’s translation of this very important line from last week! so as a reminder, here is readheroaca’s version

and here is Caleb’s

I’m actually really glad I’ve been reading the fan translations first, because it made me more aware of the potential nuances in this scene. so is KamiJirou actually being confirmed here, or not?? and I spent 20 whole minutes digging into this more the other day because I have no life, so here are my findings!

first, here is the actual Japanese panel

and while I don’t speak Japanese, I can read hiragana well enough that I was able to plug it into a couple of translators to basically figure out what was being said. so here’s the full dialogue:

どこかの誰かじゃ

難しいなら --

今一番大事なものを

心に据えな

so the part in bold there is the line in question -- 大事なもの (daijina mono). “daiji” means “precious” or “important”, but the thing is, “mono” for whatever reason is written in hiragana and not kanji. and the word mono (which can be singular or plural btw) can hilariously mean either of the following depending on the kanji used:

lmao. so basically the bottom line is that from what I can see here, Horikoshi purposely didn’t specify! now I could be completely wrong; maybe this is a common enough expression that Caleb felt comfortable deciding that he meant “person.” or maybe he just guessed based on the context. or maybe he just said “fuck it, you only live once” and just went there because why the heck not

anyway, so that was fun, and for me it reinforced the fact that I really do prefer to have at least two different translations to compare in order to get the most complete picture of what exactly is going on here in this stupid manga that I obsess over week after week! so now let’s finally get to reading this thing

oh my

I have so many thoughts whirling around in my head right now, such as “oh my god look at all these secret entrances/exits the villains apparently had” and “wow the heroes are so thorough” and such, but ngl, right now the biggest one is “why are they all entering so slowly??” seriously though. let’s just gradually meander on in single-file. no rush. meanwhile 800m northwest and 1 km east, Cementoss is literally tearing the building in half and the other heroes are charging full speed all “ARGGHHHHH.” and over in Jakku, Miruko kicked a door open so hard it killed a guy. but we’ve all got our own styles I guess??

at least this one guy 800m north of the hideout is doing some doorbusting. sheesh. be more exciting please

oh hey it’s this place

behold. the great realm and dwarf city of Dwarrowdelf. well there’s an eye-opener and no mistake

LMAO THESE GUYS DON’T KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING YET OMG

oh my god. first of all wtf is that shirt. and second of all oh my fucking god, let me just shut up and read this is amazing

SDKLFJLSJK

LMAO

oh man. Re-Destro is one of the few characters whom I really want to see die. come on Horikoshi. don’t be a fucking coward. he’s had it coming ever since he killed that little mouse. and let’s not forget Giran. JUSTICE FOR GIRAN

oh we’re actually cutting back to this fight!

I wasn’t sure if we would! shounen authors have this habit of showing the start of a really cool battle only to then cut away to a bunch of other stuff and leave us hanging for a dozen chapters, so yeah. of course, that may still happen. I’m just lucky that I’m invested in virtually every single thing that’s going on right now, so it’s a win-win for me no matter where we cut to next

(ETA: lmao there really wasn’t much more to this fight to speak of. but what do you want to bet Horikoshi will try to pull this shit with Dabi and Hawks next week though.)

holy shit

this looks like when I attempt to build a gingerbread house. that’s uncanny

lmao Kami

YOU’RE DOING GREAT BUDDY. KEEP IT UP CHAMP

(ETA: Kaminari’s ridiculous smiling face is the balm we all need in these troubled times. tempted to ask him if he wouldn’t mind heading up to that telenovela happening over in Twice’s room and telling them all to lighten the fuck up.)

Lefty is all “does he have an absorption quirk?” because apparently he’s one of the two people that never watched the U.A. Sports Festival? how does anyone in this day and age manage to come across one of the 1-A kids and not know what their quirks are. and you’re a fucking general or whatever too, aren’t you? god you suck

so now he’s all “I BET YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO HANDLE... A FEW MILLION VOLTS” jesus christ. I bet you he can! but still, that’s awfully murdery of you. and to think, he’s on your side!! Kaminari are you really sure you want these guys as your friends

YOOOOOOO FUCKING KAKASHI ALL UP IN HERE DOING HIS HUMAN YONDU ARROW THING WHAAAAT

straight up prepared to be massively disappointed in Viz when they inevitably translate the “Ninpo” part instead of leaving it alone and letting everyone bask in these sentimental Naruto vibes. and also ngl I prefer for Edge’s lines to be as close to the original as possible so I can better imagine them in my head. stupid sexy Edgeshot

holy shit “I’ve pierced a small hole in each of your lungs” !!? WELL ALL RIGHT THEN, YOU SADISTIC WARRIOR OF THE NIGHT. YOU HEARD HIM BOYS. I’M SORRY, BUT HE’S ALL OUT OF FUCKS TODAY

OH HEY Y’ALL, MIDNIGHT HEARD YOU WERE KICKING ASS AND DECIDED TO JOIN IN, HOPE THAT’S ALL RIGHT

and if it’s not all right, well. tough

can you imagine. you’re just a simple villain, chilling out in your Hilton Garden Inn HQ and minding your own business when all of a sudden the walls come to life and some fucking shinobu busts a small hole in your lungs, and then you just fall asleep. sometimes life comes at you hard

now Kamui Woods is doing his whole Lacquered Chain Prison thing, but we’ve already seen that one so I’m not gonna bother showing it! tough break Kamui!!

OH MY GOD IS THIS WHAT I THINK IT IS

HALF OF THESE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY UNCONSCIOUS WITH HOLES IN THEIR LUNGS, SO SURE, HONENUKI, LET’S GO AHEAD AND FUCKING DROWN THEM TOO LMAO

LOOOOOOL OH CHRIST

CLASS 1-B WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE!!!

LMAO AND NOW SHE’S STANDING WITH HER ARMS UP OVER HER HEAD ALL SMILING LIKE ERI AT THE FUCKING CONCERT. A COLD GOD IN AN UNCARING UNIVERSE. WHAT THE FUCK

oh shit everybody shut up we’re cutting back to Hawks!!

but you pulled it off because you’re so damn smart. so now let’s stand around and explain your plan to everyone. what the fuck, Hawks

(ETA: and the thing is, now I’m thinking that by “incredibly difficult” he doesn’t mean that it was the cipher part that was difficult lol. that part was child’s play. any simpleton could do that. no, the difficult part was betraying his new friend. anyway so how’s everyone doing? what a fun chapter!!)

hey everyone I still have unwavering faith that this man is not a killer just FYI

what does that say about me I wonder. let’s just completely ignore everything being presented on screen here. also what the heck happened to all this furniture? did he upend the entire room with his crazy feather attack, or is that damage from Cementoss’s shenanigans?

HAHA!! FUCK YEAH

I KNEW YOU WEREN’T A KILLER YOU STUPID ASSHOLE!!

fuck yeah. of course, I realize that by betraying Twice so harshly like this, Hawks has still found himself on lots of people’s shitlists. but I would just like to put out a friendly reminder that Twice, despite being the nicest and most loyal guy you will ever meet, is still a terrorist who was going to kill a lot of people because he’s friends with a guy who wants to destroy the entire world. so basically there’s just no clean way out of this and it’s all very tragic

but anyway if it’s any consolation, I fully expect Dabi to turn up in the very next panel and be all “BLARGH! IT’S ME!” before we commence with the single sexiest battle in this manga to date

lmao Horikoshi. “but before we get to the sexy battle let me just twist that knife up in there real good!” jesus

friendly reminder that despite all appearances, Hawks is still objectively the good guy in this scenario. anyways for real, how are we all doing this afternoon. how many death threats has my bird son gotten today. I’m afraid to check. poor Twice is so trusting and I really hate to see him cry like this, poor baby. but I’m sure it’s also tearing Hawks up inside as well but we’re just not seeing it

and here we have Hawks, about to unleash his Mangekyou Sharingan

“are you sure you don’t think this sinister maniac looming in the shadows with the deranged look in his eyes is a ruthless killer, makeste?? are you really sure?” Horikoshi asks while pouring every last inch of malice he can into a single chilling panel

and yes, you bastard. I am sure. fuck you, how long are you going to make me sit here looking like a complete ass. look, we get it!! either way, Hawks is clearly a compelling actor! but the question is, which one is really the false face? is it the smiling, easygoing Hawks who always seems to have a faint hint of sadness in his eyes? or is it this menacing figure stripped of all mercy? is it really so crazy to go ahead and say that it’s the latter? huh?? [pokes Horikoshi in the chest] huh?????

anyway so Twice seems to slowly be progressing his way from despair to anger, which is probably not good. heh. fuck

maybe I was wrong about Dabi showing up and saving Twice, maybe his arrival will actually save Hawks instead lmao

anyway Hawks is still being all cold and creepy, and he’s all “you have my thanks.” and Twice is still crying, so maybe he’s still more sad than angry. well this is starting to drag out now though so if a certain spicy flame boi wants to make his grand entrance now, he’s welcome to do so anytime

oh shit Hawks is throwing me a bone!!! yessssss

YOU SEE!! THE SAD LOOK. HE DOESN’T WANT TO DO THIS. HE’S A GOOD BOY. oh my god I just realized how tense I was. hahaha what is this chapter

FINALLY OMG

NOOOOO I THOUGHT IT WAS DABI SNEAKING UP BEHIND HIM. OH MY GOD I CAN’T. WAS THIS HORROR MOVIE SERIAL KILLER ANGLE REALLY NECESSARY THEN, HORIKOSHI. WHAT THE FUCK

TWICE SHUT UP YOU ARE DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVE!!!

fuck!!! this is why I was so sure he was going to die! because he won’t go quietly; he’s not the type to ever betray his friends. to him the League are basically the only family he’s ever known, so of course he’s not going to just be all “okay sure I’ll go to prison and let you reform me”

so then what, Hawks?? you didn’t fucking think this through you stupid kind-hearted punk!

sob!!!!

is that one of Hawks’s feathers slicing open the mask. sing it with me guys. to the tune of Jingle Bells: fuck fuck fuck, fuck fuck fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuuuuck

OH MY GOD NOOOOO

I WEIRDLY WANT TO COVER MY EYES LOL OH GOD. I DON’T WANT THIS BUT I CAN’T LOOK AWAY HELPPPPP

FUCK ME, IT’S REALLY HAPPENING. HE COULDN’T BRING HIMSELF TO KILL HIM AND NOW HE’S SCREWED HIMSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE OVER, FUCK

FOR FUCK’S SAKE HAWKS YOU COULD HAVE JUST KNOCKED HIM OUT THEN!! YOU JUST HAD TO GO AND FUCKING TRY TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN DEIKA CITY, HAWKS. DO WE REALLY WANT A REPEAT OF THAT. SURE, WE’VE GOT CLASS 1-B OUT IN THE BACKYARD MORE THAN READY AND WILLING TO KILL ANY NUMBER OF BITCHES BECAUSE THAT’S HOW THEY DO, BUT STILL

oh shit!?!

lol excuse me are you really just going to end it there? fucking seriously. Dabi running up the stairs with the crazy eyes while Hawks regretfully thinks of himself and his side as “hero scum”?? fff

and that last part! holy shit! again, I don’t buy into any of the dark!Hawks theories, and that includes the theory that Hawks will turn on the heroes and end up siding with the villains (because, again, it has nothing to do with him liking the villains, or secretly resenting the HPSC; it’s strictly on account of the whole “the villains want to destroy the entire world” thing. like. unless you think Hawks is cool with all of that of course). so I have to admit this was very startling for me to read

but I do think this is probably just some of the inevitable self-loathing finally spilling over after being forced to play this role and do all these things for the sake of the greater good, rather than him hinting at a desire to turn against the so-called “hero scum.” but still, that’s probably as dark as we’re gonna get from him, and ngl, it’s some heavy stuff

goddammit. feel like we need to cut to some wholesome class 1-A antics or something after all of that. as always, angst is a double-edged sword that I always anticipate and love but am also destroyed by sigh

Love Her [Shinazugawa Sanemi x F!Reader] Chapter 1

Rating: Slight NSFW Characters: Shinazugawa Sanemi x Former Pillar F!Reader Chapters: 3/5 Summary: Opposites really do attract, but that sentiment ran deeper than weird quirks and personality clashes for Sanemi and his lover. This is a collection of short stories depicting Sanemi’s life with the woman with whom his life began and ended. Word Count: 1,946 Tags: Smut, Making Out, Awkward Sexual Situations, Genya is a Cockblock, Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Soft Sanemi (More tags to be added soon.)

***Slight NSFW*** 

Warning: This chapter has a short, mildly graphic description of a wound that was inflicted on the Reader.

“What do you think you’re doing here with that thing, (Y/n)?” Judging by his tone alone, Shinazugawa Sanemi sounded furious. Yet his lover knew better.

She returned his harsh words with a smile, as well as two pats against his chest when she passed him by. The fluffy dog at her heels followed her into the house, needing no commands as he made a beeline towards the kitchen; with the little bell around his neck tinkling with every step he made.

“I’ve missed you, Sanemi,” (Y/n) admitted with the sweetest of smiles, as she turned to look at her lover— who still stood by the front door. “I hope you missed me, too.”

“Shut up,” The Wind Hashira snapped; though there was no real heat in his voice. He then slammed the shoji shut, before marching over to (Y/n) and cupping her face in his hands.

Instead of getting scared, the shorter woman merely batted her eyelashes at him. It was a move so alluring that he couldn’t resist the temptation to mess her up.

So he did.

In one fell swoop, he had leaned down to roughly slant his lips against hers. Even going as far as to nip at her bottom lip, when she wouldn’t open her mouth.

His kiss was hot and demanding, and he absolutely loved the fact that (Y/n) gave as good as she got. She didn’t shy away from his heavy approach, instead she returned his kisses with the same enthusiasm that she received.

Her hands made their way to his chest, where her fingers traced the raised skin of his scars. And the action didn’t fail to elicit her desired result: a throaty moan from her gruff lover.

(Y/n) then slipped her tongue inside her lover’s mouth; playing with Sanemi’s before urging him to finally explore her mouth.

“(Y/n)-nee-chan, can I give Taro some oha- sorry!”

The couple pulled away from each other at the panicked shout from Genya, Sanemi’s younger brother. Their faces were flushed, and their lips were kiss-swollen, which had both of them averting their gazes from the young man.

Taro’s telltale bell rang in the air, while his feet padded lightly across the wooden floor, as he made his way back to where his mistress was. (Y/n) then looked up at her companion, then sighed heavily when she saw the remnants of ohagi around his muzzle.

“I think it’s too late to ask now, Genya-kun,” The sole female in the room answered with a light laugh. She then cast a glance over at her lover, only to see him barely restraining his anger towards her dog. “Sorry, Sanemi. I’ll make more ohagi for you, okay?”

“This wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t bring that damn dog,” The Wind Hashira snapped irately, all while glaring at the white fluff ball that was Taro. Out of all the people who knew (Y/n)’s dog, he was the only one who managed to get mad at the adorable creature.

(Y/n)’s lips pulled up at the corners in a gentle smile and, instead of getting mad at Sanemi, she nodded in acquiescence. He was right, after all. And it wasn’t that he hated her dog; Sanemi’s initial reactions to everything were always anger and irritation, and the (h/c) haired woman understood that. “I’m sorry, Sanemi. He won’t do it again.”

“Damn right he won’t, because he’s not allowed in the kitchen. Forever, (Y/n).” As if understanding Sanemi’s words, Taro let out a quiet whine that made all three pairs of eyes snap towards him.

“Sorry, Taro, ‘Nemi said-” Before (Y/n) could finish, her lover cut through her one-sided conversation with her dog.

“Fine. As long as he doesn’t fucking eat what isn’t given to him,” The Wind Hashira snapped irately, as he crossed his arms over his chest and narrowed his gaze at the white fluff ball by his feet.

He didn’t dislike (Y/n)’s dog; in fact, he was grateful to it, because it was the one who had saved her life a year ago. Taro was the one who had called him to save (Y/n).

He’d thought that he was going to lose her, after that lower moon demon had managed to attack her from behind. The bastard had already plunged its hand into (Y/n)’s chest, before he managed to get there and cut its head off.

It had taken a long time for her to heal from the extent of the damage on her lungs but, thankfully, she recovered nicely. Although, she was forbidden to use any of her breathing techniques after that; because putting pressure on her damaged lungs could injure her gravely.

And so, with the loss of her breathing techniques also entailed her resignation from being a Hashira. No matter how much she wanted to keep serving Oyakata-sama, she couldn’t do it anymore.

And so, she had to make a compromise to become a trainer for the Demon Slaying Corps. She was tasked with training the existing Slayers, as well as screening new applicants.

While it wasn’t a very physically taxing job, it was a challenging one; as she couldn’t demonstrate how to properly utilize the Breath of Lightning. As it was, she was trying to branch out a much easier form of breath— one that wouldn’t put too much strain on her lungs. But she hasn’t been fortunate enough to discover anything to help her resume active duty.

“No more snacking, Taro. You heard ‘Nemi,” (Y/n) chided her dog with a warm smile on her face. And, in response, Taro yipped, before excitedly turning in a circle— as if to agree with his mistress’ words.

 ***

 “We should go to the hot springs soon. You need to relax once in a while.”  (Y/n)’s soft words cut through the comfortable silence that wrapped around her and Sanemi. Her right hand kept raking through his hair, while her left one laid flat against his chest— feeling his steady heartbeat thrumming beneath her fingers.

Sanemi, from where his head laid on his lover’s lap, opened his eyes to look up at the only woman who made his heart race. And, judging by the slight smile that lit up her features, she had felt how his heartbeat had sped up.

He couldn’t help it; it was an instantaneous reaction to her.

He would never admit it to her, but she was his entire world; everything began and ended with her. And he wouldn’t have it any other way.

After spending the majority of his life being strong for his family, most especially Genya, it was a breath of fresh air when he had met (Y/n). With her, he didn’t have to keep up the tough and infallible façade. He could be vulnerable with her and, most notably, he could rely on her to be his constant source of support.

She allowed him to vent his frustrations, and rely on her; not because she felt sorry for him, nor thought that he was a charity case, but because she loved him tremendously.

(Y/n) always heard him out and allowed him to come to conclusions himself. She never forced him to believe in something, instead she would patiently explain things to him and wait for him to figure things out on his own; that gave him the freedom to think for himself, while also taking her points into consideration.

She didn’t coddle him, nor did she hover over his shoulder like an overbearing lover. The short woman trusted that Sanemi would always try his best to come back to her. And he loved that about her.

Sanemi loved many things about (Y/n); so many that it would probably take him a day and a half to enumerate all of them.

(Y/n) was the balm to his soul that he had wanted and needed for a long time.

He just regretted not acting on his feelings sooner. Had he done so, they would have been officially together for five years already, instead of two. But, as she always told him, time was nothing but a social construct; it was something that humans invented to constrain themselves to a routine, or a deadline.

Yes, she was a free-spirited thinker; which was the exact opposite of Sanemi.

For all of her good qualities though, the one thing that got on his nerves was her tendency to defy him at almost every turn. She didn’t stand for anyone’s bullshit, most of all his bullshit.

Sanemi had thought that, what with her being the prestigious daughter of a kyūdojo owner, she would have been meek and acquiescent. Her kind nature had also led him to believe that she needed constant protection, even from himself, but he was wrong with that assumption.

(Y/n) could shoot people down with her mere words. She was never unkind or unjust, but she did have a barbed tongue.

Even Iguro— the Snake Hashira— didn’t dare cross her, because he knew that she could ruin his meticulously built self-esteem in one fell swoop.

She was that tenacious.

And while it was funny to see Iguro skirt around (Y/n) so carefully, (Y/n)’s interactions with Shinobu made for frightening meetings; especially when the two of them didn’t agree on things. It was like watching two smiling pandas taking turns at hitting each other with bamboo.

The vision of (Y/n) as a panda made Sanemi crack a tiny grin, which made the (h/c) haired woman tilt her head in curiosity. “What’s so funny, Sanemi?”

Slowly, the silver-haired Hashira lifted his left hand up and grasped her face in his hands. His fingers gently pressed against her soft cheeks, before proceeding to squish her soft skin twice. “You. As a panda.”

“Am I a cute panda?”

The teasing remark burning on the tip of Sanemi’s tongue died instantly. And, while he silently cursed himself for being so soft around her, the words spilled from his lips, “The cutest.”

(Y/n)’s answering smile was so warm and pure that it made the normally-abrasive man feel all warm inside. Seeing her smile was akin to having the sun’s rays shining down on him; it was warm and wholesome; most of all, he knew that it was good for him.

“Thank you, ‘Nemi,” The smiling woman answered, then continued, “Well, you seem like you would make a very cute tanuki. An angry one, though.”

Sanemi’s eyes widened, before they narrowed into an unamused glare. His eyebrows were furrowed in mild disbelief and, in retaliation, he growled out, “I’ll show you who’s an angry tanuki.”

And that was when he abruptly leaned up to press an angry kiss against (Y/n)’s lips.

Instantaneously, the hand that was still in his hair tightened, while the hand on his chest drifted down to rest against his evident set of sculpted abdominal muscles.

Their kiss progressed to the point where Sanemi had started sucking on (Y/n)’s tongue to tease her, while (Y/n) allowed her left hand to drift lower; low enough to cup her lover’s dick through his pants.

Slowly, the (h/c) haired woman massaged Sanemi’s rapidly hardening erection through the fabric of his trousers, which elicited a throaty groan from his lips. And she was just about to unzip his fly, when the quiet whine from one corner of the room made the couple jump.

Reluctantly, Sanemi pulled away from (Y/n), before sendind a scathing glare towards Taro— who sat upright with a pleading expression on his face. “That damn dog.”

NOTE: Hello, everyone! I'm finally done with this. I'm sorry if it took a while. I was trying to incorporate everyone's suggestions, and this is the best that I could manage for the time being. It was supposed to be heavily smutty for the first chapter, but I decided to make it fluffy and humorous instead. Bc I needed a little more humor in my life. Ahaha.

I hope you guys liked this chapter! Please, if you have any suggestions or requests, feel free to message me. <3
