Kyojuro and his significant other adopting Senjuro (ft. Shinjuro)

content: adoption, gn!reader, gn!reader and kyojuro confront shinjuro || warnings: family discussion, mentions of alcoholism, implied family issues and slightly toxic household.

—No.— stated certain man with flamboyant yellow and red hair.

—Otōsan, with the biggest amount of respect, I ask you again to let me and (y/n) adopt Senjuro in our family— answered with a serious yet calm expression another man with the same hair characteristics.

—Never. Senjuro lives under my custody and until the day I die, he will remain inside this house—

...

You and Kyojuro have been together for four years now, your relationship has done nothing more but grow stronger everyday... but also grew the wish to have another member with you two. Kyojuro wanted a family and you openly accepted the idea because it was also a wish you had aswell! Sincerely, you couldn't imagine yourself raising a baby from zero so your mind brought Senjuro to stage, Kyojuro's younger brother. You knew how the situation inside the Flame Mansion was, and it wasn't really the best, your father-in-law has been an alcoholic since his wife passed away and Senjuro hasn't been receiving as much as attention and love a kid should have at his age. You proposed this idea to your boyfriend and he confessed he had the same plan but he didn't know if you would like to adopt his brother. Luckily you both agreed that Senjuro deserved a healthier household and Kyojuro trusted you and him could give it to him.

Senjuro liked you, you built a strong bond and he saw you as a great sibling-in-law. Usually when you were in your free time off your demon slayer duties and Kyojuro wasn't, you used to invite Senjuro to eat dangos together at his favourite shop and tell him hilarious stories about his brother to make fun of him (in a fun non-harming way, don't get me wrong!). To adopt a child, it's required that the child must like you, otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to raise a kid in good conditions, luckily you had a lovely relationship with Senjuro since you started dating Kyojuro. The news went quickly to the youngest Rengoku, when his brother asked him if he would like to live with him and his partner at their place, his eyes shone with sparkles of joy and expectation. He hugged both of you as he repeatedly said "Yes!", expressing all the happiness the idea has brought to him, he almost saw you as a parent figure just like Kyojuro was like a father figure to him. You had Senjuro's approval, that's great!

But there was a not so slight problem: Shinjuro Rengoku.

Kyojuro and Senjuro's father. The eldest Rengoku disagreed about you adopting his son and taking him into your and Kyo's custody. The three of you chose a room in The Flame Mansion to discuss it far away from Senjuro.

—Shinjuro-san, we are asking your permission because as a father you should know a child needs to have anything to grow happy at the palm of his hand. And we think Kyojuro and I can give it to Senjuro— you said sitting firm and serious, you were willing to get his approval.

—Are you saying I can't mantain my son on my own?— the older man deepened his voice, sounding threatening towards you.

—That's not what I was trying to say, sir. We are talking only about Senjuro's well being, we shouldn't take anything personally because this isn't about us.— you answered, showing you weren't afraid of him even though you were slightly nervous for the end of this story.

—Otōsan, Senjuro is worrying about things he shouldn't be worrying about at his age. He is constantly worried about your health and behaviour, he looks after you when it should be backwards. We think a kid like him should be living in an harmonious household with parents that look after him.— Kyojuro was more likely to speak like that because he knew who he was dealing with, his father is not a stranger and he knew he could say things to his face directly.

Kyojuro seemed calm, but his characteristic smile wasn't spreading on his face like it usually does. He was being serious, he really wanted to get Senjuro a more calm household and have him under his and his significant other's custody because he was convinced you could give him an endless amount of love and care. Because, even in the worst scenarios, Kyo trusted you: he trusts you his brother's well being. And that's a lot.

You heard Shinjuro click his tongue right before stamping his hand to the table in front of him fiercely, giving you an exasperated look.

—YOU CAN'T GIVE A KID A HARMONIOUS LIFE IF THEIR PARENTS ARE DEMON SLAYERS!— he shouted, surprising you both —You don't get it, don't you? Fighting demons only brings grief and hopelessness. Imagine if one day Senjuro finds out you two had been slaughtered by a demon. How would he feel? If you really care about what he feels, you shouldn't even think of being demon slayers.—

This made your blood boil out of anger, was this man suppossed to be the ex-Flame Hashira? If he wants a safe place for his son he should be out there slaying demons and not saying this amount of crap. You wanted to say a lot of things but out of respect for the Rengoku family and your boyfriend, you tried to calm down. Still, you couldn't resist to flech your teeth, Shinjuro was right in a certain way. Kyojuro noticed quickly your frustration staring at you sideways and rised a hand to place it on your own to give you a small company during the anger you were feeling. Certainly that calmed you down a bit more but it didn't stop you and Kyo to speak.

—Being part of the Demon Slayer Corps is one of the best things I could have ever learnt from you, otōsan— said your beloved —Yet, it's a shame you have no respect for it. It's true that our life expectancy is lower than most people but that doesn't mean we can't be the best of parents meanwhile. We are not here to discuss about our careers.—

—Besides— you added —What's the difference between an absent father and a pair of gentle parents being demon slayers? I would give my own life to protect Senjuro's and make him as happy as I can— you sounded so determined and ready for the answer, the adrenaline slowly increasing its speed through your veins as the argument went more heated up the last seconds —The whole point of this meeting is to make Senjuro happy and I confidently think that, beside your eldest son, I can do it. If this isn't reason enough, I don't have another choice but to beg for your approval—

And then, as calm as you could ever be, you stood up, took a few steps back of your seat and knelt. Gently and peacefully resting your hands on the floor and leaning your head down.

—Please. One more time, Shinjuro-san: Let us adopt Senjuro. Let me be part of your family—

Your boyfriend looked at you slightly surprised but then he smiled feeling your words so pure and loyal, making him more sure that you were the one right for him and that without a doubt, you would love and protect his brother no matter what the circumstances where. He stood up aswell and did the same thing next to you, now you were both begging Shinjuro Rengoku for his approval.

This shocked the older man, seeing both of you, specially his son, like that, made him have second thoughts... he even had a slight, painful flashback of his deceased wife: Ruka. Shinjuro remembered the trip he took with her through their parenthood and remembered how it was when Kyojuro was born and after him, Senjuro. There were beautiful memories without a doubt, he managed to forget most of it thanks to his endless grief and his addiction to alcohol. And now... having a young couple willing to become parents in front of him, reminded Shinjuro of him 20 years ago.

He felt moved by memories and nostalgia, fighting against his pride in a moment like this would be embarassing for him but he couldn't bare with the sadness of imagining how dissapointed would Ruka be if she watched him denying parenthood to their son.

—...—

There was a moment of complete silence before older Rengoku's voice took place again.

—You can have him— your and Kyojuro's eyes sprakled as you looked up to him —IF you ever regret it, I will not take responsability— he stated loudly before you two even thought of start celebrating in front of him —Take Senjuro's stuff and leave—

After that, Shinjuro stood up and left the room with nothing left to say, leaving the door open and the couple alone. You and Kyojuro were now on your knees, looking at the wall still processing Shinjuro's words with sparkling eyes. You looked at eachother steadily and simultaneously to right after pull the other into a tight embrace fulfilled with joy and triumph, overjoyed for having acomplished your objetive.

—What a relief...— you sighed in Kyojuro's shoulder as he gently crushed you with his arms, genuinelly happy for the recent events.

—I know— he kissed your forehead placing his left hand on your cheek for a second to then pull you back into his hug.

As you were having this special and emotional moment, Shinjuro never left the room: he was standing next to the door hearing every word you were saying. Putting his pride aside like that helped him a little to see an even purer state of happiness in his older son than he usually saw, maybe it wasn't a bad idea after all, maybe he still didn't abandon his sons, maybe... he prayed for your future as a family and that you could live happily after him not being able to finish his parenthood along his beloved Ruka.

[ months later ]

—Senjuro! Time for your training sessions!— shouted Kyojuro entering the kitchen in his demon slayer uniform, just when Senjuro finished washing the dishes.

—Yes, niisan!— answered the minor as he dried his hands.

—I will join you today— you appeared from behind your beloved boyfriend and stared at your brother-in-law/son.

—Really?— Kyo looked at you sideways and smiled wider when he saw your uniform —Perfect! We should not miss the oportunity to have a combat practice!—

—Yeah, you will see up close two powerful slayers in action. Are you ready, Sen?— you smiled confidently putting your hands on your hips.

—Yes! Yes, of course!—

It's been three months since Senjuro moved in with you two in your home and everything was doing perfect, you showed Senjuro his new room and got his stuff moved there. Living together was a pleasant experience, you were a hardworking family where every member did something for the house, you had no-swordsmen members of the corps working at your place to help having the house clean and all the chores done while Kyojuro and you where out, not to mention to not leave Senjuro alone aswell. That was kind of an issue because you as parents didn't want to make Senjuro feel alone and unloved but he assured you he would be fine on his own and always praying for his adoptive parents to win their battles because he trusted and loved you both so much that he knew you were doing your best to come back to him.

You don't have a fucking clue. Joe's an addict, he's struggling. Tommy has been doing what he loves which meant he had to move. Also not about you sorry princess kitty kat. I'm trying to build a future same as you. It's hardly end of days. Fraze: Sorry you're not the centre of everyone's universe for one sec. Fraze: And everything ain't rosy all the damn time. Big deal. Ali: and why is he an addict? hmm? lets explore that shall we Ali: Bea's the only one building anything Ali: you're on her coattails Ali: its never been rosy that's my fucking point! Ali: and i'm sorry i've got sick of pretending its anything close to rn Ali: because it isn't and we all know it, aren't you all sick of pretending Fraze: That ain't for me or you to say. You'd have to ask him Fraze: You don't know shit about what I'm achieving or not you patronising twat Fraze: Nobody's asking for that except you and none of us are pretending either we're just making the best of what we've got which is apparently optional for you now you're over it Fraze: Life don't have to be exactly what you want for it to be worth a fucking damn Fraze: Stop acting like you're above us all and be with us Ali: Except I can't because he's gone. He's gone and you didn't give us a chance to say goodbye, no, I'll be as selfish as you want me to be, you didn't give ME a chance to say goodbye Ali: Oh yeah, my life is fucking peachy, I'm so great Ali: Everyone fucking hates me, is that the teen angst you want? Well whoop there it is. Everyone in this fucking town looks down their nose at me or outright abuses me on the daily, the kids I'm too young to have have a part-time dad and heaven forbid I act my age, my own family tell me to fuck off and die in a ditch, or tell me what an awful person I am Ali: there it is, yuk it up 'cos I don't know what else you want from me Ali: I have NOTHING to give, I'm so sorry I'm not worth my place in the tribe Fraze joined the chat 29 minutes ago Fraze: Put that and whatever else you gotta on me. It don't matter. I did what I did and I'd do it again. For him. Fraze: Boo fucking hoo. Deal with it. Nobody made those choices but you. Those kids don't need your sob story they need you to decide what the fuck you and Caleb are doing. Together or apart. Fraze: You don't get to act your age 'cause you're somebody's fucking ma now and its on you to let them be kids. Fraze: If you can't hack that you shouldn't of done it. Simple as. Fraze: As for the pity party you're having about us, nobody said anything like that. Calm down or keep projecting I don't care. Ali: Of course you would, no one matters but the sacred three. I know that, no need to remind me when you spend every waking day showing us exactly where we are in the pecking order Ali: This is a joke, what have I said to you, and mum, what is ALL I said Ali: we didn't need theirs, we didn't need yours Ali: but we got it Ali: and yet I'm nothing like my mother and my problems are NOTHING like hers Ali: I dare you to call her a spoilt bitch Ali: Wow, write a pamphlet. Ali: Read back what you've said, I'm not telling you what you said, you'll only say its bullshit. Just read it Ali: I just Ali: Never mind Fraze: You're a joke, Ali. Fraze: Your situation is nothing like ma's. You've had so much support all round. Like fuck are you working 4 jobs you're going to uni, you have multiple people willing to help with your kids and anything else at the drop of a hat Fraze: She had nothing but da. Fraze: I know what I said and didn't say. Spin it how you want just like with whatever mum said. Fraze: I'm not going in circles with you. Ali: That's all your doing Ali: our entire lives is one big circle revolving around them Ali: please tell me how hard she had it again Ali: as if that makes an iota of difference to my struggle Ali: so much support? Ali: I feel it Fraze: It should make a difference to your fucking behavior Fraze: but whatever I'm sick of this and if you can bail so can I Ali: Why? Ali: Why should it Fraze: It's called empathy brainiac Ali: No, it isn't Ali: that's the past, empathy is doing fuck all to change what it was Ali: you show empathy to the people who need it Ali: in the now Fraze: she does still need it in the now Ali: and i don't? Fraze: You get a shit ton of it Ali: WHERE Ali: I'm a joke, I'm a fuck up, I'm a cunt Ali: I'm not doing enough to help Ro Ali: I'm not doing enough for mum Ali: I'm a bad mother who shouldn't have had her kids Ali: there is nothing Ali: I'm not pulling this out of thin air, Fraze Fraze: You're pulling it out of your arse 'cause you wanna feel sorry for yourself and for everyone else to Fraze: You think I ain't been called shit. Made mistakes. We all have including mum Ali: Please do bring it back round to you and mum Ali: continue to prove my point Ali: call me crazy and tell me i'm making it all up Fraze: I didn't say that I said you're making a meal of it Fraze: build a bridge and get the fuck over it Fraze: talk to the people you gotta to change shit Fraze: Or just keep crying to me Fraze: what's that gonna do? Ali: Yeah, silly me for trying to get my own brother to care Ali: that's not how families are meant to work Fraze: I'm still here talking to you ain't I Fraze: you're the one not caring Ali: of course, what a cold bitch Fraze: You wish Ali: no i don't Ali: even if no one respects the fact that i have feelings that can get hurt just like the rest of you do Fraze: Again, literally nobody's ever said that Fraze: we're just trying to get you to tell ma your feelings are hurt Fraze: at least Ali: actions speak louder than words, even though your words HAVE been fucking horrible and you aren't convincing me otherwise Ali: she knows...she's the one who hurt them Fraze: and you hurt hers too Fraze: and Fraze: I don't know what else I can do here Fraze: this ain't even my fight as you said Ali: i know, i was the one who did it Ali: yeah a real impasse we find ourselves in Fraze: Do whatever it is you're gonna 'cause I can't multitask and I do actually have shit that needs doing despite what you think Ali: i was planning to
