Hashiras x reader who doesn't know how to show emotions.

Plot : The Hashiras (from Demon Slayer (not all of them)) x a stoic, inexpressive reader. Headcanons.

With : Giyuu Tomioka, Muichiro Tokito, Kyojuro Rengoku, Shinobu Kocho, Mitsuri Kanroji.

tw : giyuu's backstory is briefly mentioned. kyojuro's part involves anger and sadness. shinobu's part can be seen as slightly suggestive, but there's nothing explicit.

gn!reader. reader feels emotions just like everyone else, but they're just not too fond of displaying them.

hi ! so, uh, it's been a while. tbh, i completely forgot about tumblr. lots of things (not in a bad way, rest assured) are happening in my life rn, and i hadn't much time to spend time on tumblr. i won't promise you anything about me definitely coming back on tumblr, as i don't want to give you guys any hopes that'll eventually reveal themselves false, but i'll try.

my english has improved a bit, but i'm afraid it's still shitty, so i apologize if what i say isn't always coherent enough.

one last thing : i'll often mentions headcanons about when the both of you are going to bed to sleep together, but of course, these are when the characters in question aren't assigned on a mission.

Giyuu Tomioka

Giyuu himself doesn't like to publicly showcase his emotions, so you being inexpressive as well is kind of a gift for him. Don't make me say what I haven't, though ! He'd love you just as much if you were someone expressive by nature, but you being inexpressive suits him even better, because he knows you'll understand how he feels about this subject.

Both of you being a stoic couple doesn't prevent either of you to show your love for the other, though. You're just... not doing it outside closed doors. Hugs and kisses are at the rendezvous once both of you find yourselves in a quiet place where you know you won't be disturbed.

However, Giyuu isn't too fond of being overwhelmed of affection. Sure, he enjoys feeling the warmth of your body as you lay your head on his chest, his arms wrapped around your waist, and I'll tell you, he even enjoys being the one to lay on your chest. Hearing your heartbeat acknowledges him with the fact that you're still alive and not leaving anytime soon, so he won't be having a mental breakdown about losing one other person he cherishes. He loves the feeling of your hands grasping his, your fingers intertwined together as you enjoy the peacefulness and calmness of that loving moment... That said, I can't really imagine Giyuu being so touch deprived that he'd want affection all day long. He needs a bit of space sometime — not in a "Leave me alone" way, but in an introverted way, if that's the correct word —, and he knows you'll respect it as you're not one to make a scene about such things.

I can see Giyuu enjoying to read in your presence. He'd especially love it if both of you were lying on your double-sized bed, wrapped in each other's arms as he's holding a book for you both to read as you readjusted your position to make yourself more comfortable on his chest. That'd kind of be your dates, I guess ? I mean, Giyuu isn't someone to willingly go outside and take long walks at night.

You're the type of couple to either have deep, philosophical talks at night, rambling about your lives or something intriguing that happened during the day, or the type of couple to stay silent even when you're together, just silently enjoying the other one's presence and the amount of joy they're bringing to your life, no in-between.

If you're the second type of couple, however, that doesn't mean you'll never talk at all. If there happens to be a problem within your relationship, as mature adults, you'll talk through it and find solutions together. Neither of you will leave until you've both found a solution. Giyuu wouldn't mind doing compromises for your relationship to work better — he's not risking losing you just like he did with Sabito, Makomo and Tsutako — and so would you. Despite not showing him at all times, you love him with all your heart, and you know it's reciprocal.

Overall, you being stoic suits Giyuu just fine, and he loves it even better. He knows you won't question his lack of emotions on his face at any times, and that's probably what's keeping him in your relationship. Outside of his undying love for you, of course. He's undeniably the best one to go to if you want some calm and peacefulness.

Muichiro Tokito

Despite his age, Muichiro is a mature boy, and he knows better than to question whether your lack of expression is due to the fact that you're growing tired of him — which you clearly aren't, quite the opposite actually —, because he's in the same situation as you are. Just like everyone else, he's able to grow attached to someone, to cling onto them, just like he can feel joy, sadness, anger, etc.

He knows you're mainly showing your love physically, and privately, and he respects that. Not that he isn't too fond of PDA, but he doesn't crave it, and so do you. So, just like with Giyuu, you both keep your love within closed doors.

However, unlike Giyuu, Muichiro is much more clingy. Whenever he can, he'll go on and hold your hand, immediately intertwining his fingers with yours, he'll stand on his toes and kiss one of your cheeks, having the satisfaction of bringing a faint blush to the inexpressive being you are, he'll snuggle in your arms and rest his head on your chest, immediately closing his eyes to appreciate your warmth the best he can, he'll play with your hair after asking you if you were okay with it... You got it, he's quite the clingy boy.

Speaking of hair. If you have long hair, he'll gladly brush them and style them for you. Just know, he especially love braiding your hair, he thinks it looks good and cute on you. However, if you have short hair, he'll ask you to brush his instead. He's gifted with natural, long, beautiful hair and he knows it, and he wants to keep them maintained. As you do so, he'll probably sit on your lap, crossing his legs as he hums a melody, trying his best not to move too much so as not to complicate you the task at hand. When you're done, he'll reward you with a small kiss on the lips and a warm smile.

When it's time for you to go to bed, you already know he's clinging onto you as if it was the last thing he'll ever do. You're usually spooning. He doesn't mind being the big spoon, but he usually prefers being the little spoon. It just brings him a sense of comfort, he can't explain why exactly, but all he knows is that he loves it. He'll wrap his arms around your waist, snuggling his face in the crook of your neck to smell your scent. It relaxes him and helps him to go to sleep.

You're often training together. As a Hashira, he acknowledges his strength, and he'll go easy on you. The last thing he'd want to do is to hurt you. In that case, he'd act more as a teacher for you, helping you with moves you're struggling with. However, if you're strong enough to keep up with him — first of all, he'd be proud of having such a strong S/O, and that'll make him relax about knowing you can protect yourself — but ultimately, he won't hold back as much as he was planning to. He'll still do his best not to hurt you, but he'll be having fun training with you. It brings him a strange sense of pride and satisfaction knowing that he can freely showcase his strength while you're keeping up with him.

Overall, one of the best Hashiras to be inexpressive with. He's someone understanding, but that said, it doesn't mean he'd hold back at all. You're his and he's yours, so why restraining himself when it comes to showering you with affection ?

Kyojuro Rengoku

Well... He's the complete opposite of you. That man is full of energy and always seen with a smile on his face. He's loud and always up for a challenge, while you're... well... usually quiet and stoic. But, in his eyes, that's what makes your charm !

He's completely respectful of your boundaries. If you don't want to do something he wants to do, then be sure he won't do it. Despite how hard it would be for him to not do it, he's putting your health and well-being before his own needs. Don't want a hug ? That's fine, he can settle for your presence instead ? Don't want to go outside ? He's just as fine staying at home with you ! Don't want to cook ? Just rest in bed, he'll take care of everything !

You got it, he's very respectul of your boundaries and doesn't want to pressure you into anything that could make you uncomfortable. That's the last thing he'd want to do, to make you uncomfortable.

Whenever you need some calm, some relief or simply to talk, you can count on him ! The moment you appear to be sad or angry, he's already sitting next to you. He'll gently rest his hand on your shoulder, or your thigh if that's okay with you, and he'll ask you what's wrong, and if you want to talk about it. He'll wrap a warm arm around your neck, bringing you closer to him, and he'll run a hand through your hair, putting you at ease the best he can. He's someone quite skilled with his words, he'll always find the right words to comfort you, and he'll be careful with his choice of words. He doesn't want to accidently say something that'll make you feel worse than before.

When it's time to go to bed, he'll sneak in the blankets and wait for you to get ready as well. Just know, he's a man who usually sleeps without a top, his torso and strong, muscled, well traced arms displayed, for your eyes's pleasure. If you don't want to cuddle, be sure he'll at least kiss you on the lips. If you want to, however, he WILL cuddle. He's not missing the opportunity ! He likes to be the big spoon, it brings him a sense of protection knowing that you entrust him enough to let him carry you in his arms in such an intimate way. He isn't someone to fall asleep so quickly, so he'll admire the peaceful look on your face as you're deeply asleep, wandering how such a beauty could have fallen in love with him, someone who's so different from you.

When you both are going out, he's always having an arm wrapped around your waist. Not to display affection or to show to everyone that you're his, but to protect you. He knows you can protect yourself, but he's an overthinker, and wants to make sure you're always by his side. You never know what could happen, especially in public places, so he makes sure to at least have an arm wrapped around your waist.

Overall, Kyojuro is someone very understanding and respectful of your boundaries who'll make sure to protect you at all cases. He loves you very much and is always there for you. Probably the best one if you're feeling down, as he's the most skilled one with his words.

Shinobu Kocho

That woman is such a tease. If you agreed to be in a relationship with her, you also silently agreed to be made fun of at all times. Not in a mean way, of course, she just likes to tease like no one ever did.

You kind of remind her of Giyuu, that's probably one of the reason she's "bullying" you at least as much as she does to Giyuu, if not even more. With a playful smile on her face, she'll often do remarks about how you're not smiling enough, and how pretty you would look for her if you had a smile on your face. She's probably the one who leaves you all blushing and flustered the most out there, although you're usually not used to blush and be unsettled that much. You kind of hate her for that, but oh how you love it as well. Kind of like a love-hate relationship.

On a more serious tone, she's always reminding you that it's all for fun. She doesn't want you broken and saddened because of her playful personality. If it ever made you uncomfortable, she'd immediately notice it and stop her remarks. She'll feel remorseful, although not showing it. She doesn't want you to know that.

As the insect Hashira, she possesses lots of medical and pharmaceutical knowledge to make up for her lack of physical strenght — although that doesn't mean she's physically weak, she's actually pretty strong, her physical strenght is simply not enough to cut down a demon's neck —, she's the best one to go to whenever you feel sick. Whether you've returned of a mission and you're full or bruises and cuts, you're having a fever or a simple headache, she has all the best medicines already prepared for you. It won't take much before she finds the medicine she's searching for, and she'll immediately administer it on you. If your case is serious, she'll make sure you're lying on a bed and moving only for the necessary. And trust me when I say that if she has to tie you up on the bed for you to stop moving, she'll do it. She always has some... accessories ready for these cases.

As one of the doctor of the Demon Slayer Corps, she's often busy healing slayers and creating medicines. However, if you need to talk to her about something important, she'll make sure to talk to you while doing the task she's assigned. If she's healing a slayer, you both will talk standing up while she's doing her job. However, if she's producing some medicines, which often happens in her personal office, she'll grab a chair for you to sit. Whether the medicine needs constant attention or not, she'll prioritize you first and will be sure not to make you feel ignored. Although she may not always look at you in the eyes because of whatever she's doing, she's attentive and listening to you, and you know it.

Despite her petite figure, she's not one to underestimate. If, for some reasons, you decide to tease her back and acting bratty on her, may the Lord forgive you, because she won't be holding back. She'll remind you of your place and punish you suitably to how much of a brat you've been. She's not afraid to use radical solutions to get what she wants — as long as you've given your consent of course — and to prove to you that her height doesn't mean shit. It might be publicly, also reminding to everyone that she's not a woman to mess with, or it can be in a private setting, where you won't get disturbed. Rest assured, though, she won't hurt you... much.

Sadly, you're often sleeping alone. As I mentioned before, she's a doctor, and is often busy working on medicines or injured slayers. Even though she's sneaking into the bed at night and you both ultimately sleep together, you rarely fall asleep together. If that's hurting you at any point, she'll find a solution, whether it's to stop working for the night to sleep with you, or to bring you to her office, letting you sleep on her lap as she keeps working, she'll make sure to find a solution not to make you feel abandoned and neglected.

One thing she loves to do with you, even going as far as making it a daily thing, is having breakfast with you. Whether she has slept or not, she'll make sure to take ten to twenty minutes each morning to have breakfast with you. It is a must in your relationship, and you're happy with it, as she's probably the one out of the other Hashiras you'll see the less. She'll ask you if you've slept well, how was your night, etc. If you're not a morning person, she'll just restrain herself from talking that much, but she at least wants you to be there with her.

Overall, she's the best Hashira to go to if you feel sick. She's a busy woman but she makes sure to fulfill her duty of keep the relationship healthy and maintained as your girlfriend. She's not one to mess with, so as long as you respect her, you're fine. She's making sure you know she loves you very much and wants to keep you in her life for a long-term relationship, she doesn't like short relationships where y'all break up over a small argument, she's a mature woman who's talking through everything and makes sure to find a solution while doing her best at work.

Mitsuri Kanroji

Do I really need to specify she's the complete opposite of you ? Even worse than Kyojuro, she's a cheerful and happy being who always showcases her emotions. Rare are the moments where she isn't seen with a smile on her face. The difference between the both of you is so obvious that people can't help but ask how did you two ended up together.

Your lack of expression doesn't bother her in the slightest ; Trust me, she'll make up for the both of you, as the emotional person she is. She finds your lack of expression charming, cute and hot at once. She loves this side of you, seeing you so calm and unbothered makes her heart melt. All she wants to do is to pamper you and shower you in hugs and kisses. But if you aren't too fond of it, that's okay too ! She'll make up with other things she knows you tolerate, such as hand holding, words of affirmation or buying you gifts, often food.

Just like Shinobu, having breakfast with her is a must... except it's not only breakfast. In fact, she wants to spend the three dinners a day with you, she'll find herself all saddened and upset when she can't spend even one dinner with you. She wants to be by your side at all times, even though she knows it isn't always possible and is more of an utopic desire of hers.

She knows you're not talkative, and that's fine by her. Just like for your emotions, she'll make up for the both of you. She's the yapper to your listener. She'll often talk for hours and hours about her life, her day, about that one stray cat she crossed paths with on her way to a restaurant and how she couldn't resist the temptation to caress him, about that new, young and prodigious slayer called Tanjiro she sympathizes with, etc. Sometimes, she's afraid she's talking too much, but you assure her she's not, and in fact, you love listening to her.

Obanai was jealous of you at first, but eventually he realized you were treating Mitsuri well enough after lots of conversations with Mitsuri herself, so he kind of gave up on the idea of seducing Mitsuri and entrusted you with bringing her the joy she deserves to have. Be wary, however — if he hears ONE bad thing you did to Mitsuri, he'll knock your ass, going on and on about how she deserves to be treated like a princess and all. But Mitsuri often gets in his way, stopping him before he goes too far. Eventually, he stopped loving her, realizing you were the one who got her heart, and started acting just a little bit more friendly towards you.

When it's time to go to bed, she's often the one lying in the it first, tired of her day. Yup, whether she has done something or not, that's what makes it funny. When it's your turn to sneak under the blankets, she'll immediately snuggle to you, it goes from simply hugging you to spooning you — she doesn't mind being the little one or the big one, it's honestly up to you — to lying on top of you and resting her head in the crook of your neck. She'll whisper a weak "I love youuu" before quickly falling asleep. She's a quick sleeper, unlike her master Kyojuro, so you're often the one finding yourself admiring her angelic traits as she's peacefully sleeping next to/on top of you.

Overall, the sweetest Hashira to be in a relationship with. She's the one to go to if you need affection and for a sunshine to invade your life.

A Flicker of Flame

HII UR MY FIRST REQUEST SO IM SO EXCITED!!!

note: Its a bit short, if you want a pt.2 just ask :3

----------------------------------

The streets of the red light district were alive with the hum of night time activity. Lanterns hung from the eaves of the shops, casting soft red glows on the faces of passing strangers. The scent of sake and sweet perfumes lingered in the air, blending with the whispers of conversations. Y/n walked quietly through the crowd, her sharp eyes scanning every corner of the bustling marketplace.

She had her reasons for being here. Her life in the village hadn't been kind, and the things she did to survive were things she would never admit aloud. Tonight, though, her eyes were set on one particular target—a man known for his flaming red hair, his powerful presence, and his unwavering sense of honor.

Kyojuro Rengoku.

She had heard of him, of course. The Flame Hashira had been in the area before, fighting demons to protect the city. The people praised him for his strength, his commitment, and his fiery spirit. They spoke of his kindness, his bravery, and how he had saved the city on multiple occasions. It seemed like everyone was enamored with him. Except Y/n.

She couldn't bring herself to like him, despite everything he had done. The truth was, she found it hard to trust people who tried too hard to be "good."

Y/n moved through the throngs of people with practiced ease, her gaze always shifting from face to face, from shadow to shadow. She was a master of her craft, slipping unnoticed through crowded streets, her hands light as air as they lifted coin purses from unsuspecting victims. The bustling red-light district was perfect for someone like her—chaotic, filled with distractions, and yet, she always kept her focus sharp.

She had heard Rengoku was nearby, having been seen leaving a tavern a short while ago. Her target was a man who stood out, even in a crowd. His towering figure and bright, fiery hair could make him a beacon in the dark, and that was exactly what she needed. It was always easier to pick the pockets of those who were too focused on their own sense of justice to pay attention to the world around them.

The night air was thick with the smell of incense and the faintest hint of smoke. Y/n knew this place all too well—she had slipped through these streets countless times, taking what she could, never looking back. She was always quick, always calculating. But tonight, something felt different. Tonight, she wasn’t just any pickpocket. She had her sights set on something bigger.

Kyojuro Rengoku was tall, his posture rigid, as though he was made of iron and fire. His crimson hair, glowing faintly under the lantern lights, reminded Y/n of a blaze, fierce and untamable. She watched him from a distance as he spoke with the street vendors, exchanging pleasantries and leaving generous tips. The people adored him, surrounding him with smiles and admiration. He was their hero, the man who protected them from demons and dangers alike.

Y/n's lips curled into a bitter smile as she adjusted her cloak, allowing it to fall loosely around her form. She moved closer, blending into the crowd, eyes fixed on the pouch hanging from Rengoku's waist. It was tucked away in a way that screamed "easy pick," but it was guarded by his sheer presence—the kind of presence that made everyone part ways without even realizing it.

Taking a deep breath, Y/n reached for the knife tucked beneath her sleeve. She wasn’t planning to use it, not tonight. But a sharp edge was always a good reminder of what she was capable of. She wasn’t afraid of a fight. Not anymore.

Her pace quickened, and in the span of a few moments, she was close enough to make her move. As she brushed past him, her fingers brushed the pouch gently, carefully, her movements like water, silent and swift. She felt the familiar weight shift in her hand, her fingers deftly unlatching the string that held it closed. The pouch slipped free, light as a feather.

But then—

Rengoku’s voice rang out, low and calm, yet full of an undeniable power. "I believe you’ve taken something that doesn’t belong to you."

Y/n froze, her heart skipping a beat. She hadn’t expected him to notice, to catch her so easily. She’d been so sure of herself, so confident that this would be like any other job.

Y/n’s breath hitched, but she quickly masked it with a practiced air of innocence. She straightened, feigning surprise, her eyes wide as she turned to face him.

“Excuse me?” she asked, her voice soft, as if she had no idea what he was talking about. Her hand stayed steady, the pouch still clutched in her fingers, hidden behind the folds of her cloak.

Rengoku's amber gaze never wavered from her. His eyes were unwavering, like flames that burned with sincerity and unshakable certainty. He didn’t flinch at her act; he simply stepped closer, his presence like the heat of a fire, undeniable and relentless.

"You're quite skilled," he said, his voice calm, though there was a quiet intensity beneath the words. "But I can see the pouch you’ve taken. I don’t think you need to deny it."

Y/n’s mind raced. She knew she could make a run for it—escape into the darkened alleyways and lose herself in the maze of the district. She’d done it countless times before. But something about Rengoku’s gaze made her hesitate. The usual fear she felt when caught had vanished, replaced by a strange curiosity. Why wasn’t he angry? Why was he so sure of himself?

She took a breath, letting her mask slip just slightly. “I don’t know what you're talking about,” she said again, but this time, the edge of her voice wasn’t as sharp. Her words didn’t carry the usual bite; they felt empty.

Rengoku gave a soft sigh, not out of frustration, but as if he had expected this response. His eyes softened, and for the briefest moment, Y/n could almost see past the warrior and into the man beneath. The one who had seen countless battles, fought for people who might never know his name, and stood unwavering even when the world around him crumbled.

“You don’t have to keep pretending," he said gently, his voice surprisingly tender. "I understand why you do it, the way you live. But stealing from others won’t fill the emptiness inside. You don’t have to carry that weight alone."

Y/n’s breath caught in her throat. His words weren’t angry or accusatory—they were understanding. Almost like he knew. Like he saw through all the walls she had so carefully built around herself.

Y/n’s heart pounded in her chest, and before she could stop herself, her legs were already moving, carrying her away from Rengoku’s steady gaze. His words reverberated in her mind, but she couldn’t let them settle. Not yet. Not when she still had so much to run from.

She darted down a narrow alleyway, weaving between shadowed doorways and discarded crates. The sounds of the bustling red-light district faded, replaced by the echo of her hurried footsteps and the sharp breaths she took as she pressed herself against the cool stone wall.

Her pulse was racing, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. Why did he have to say that? She didn’t want anyone to understand her. She didn’t want to be seen, not like that. She needed to forget about Rengoku and his damned kindness. People like him never understood. They always thought they could save someone like her, but they never could. Not really.

Y/n squeezed her eyes shut, pushing the thoughts away as she crouched behind a stack of crates, hoping the shadows would conceal her. She stayed perfectly still, listening for any sign that Rengoku had followed her.

But no matter how hard she tried to keep her breath steady, it came in sharp, uneven gasps. Her hands clenched at her sides, the pouch now sitting heavy in her palm, the weight of it a constant reminder of what she had almost done.

Her eyes flicked toward the alley’s mouth, waiting for the familiar sounds of footsteps to fade.

Seconds passed. Then minutes.

But they didn’t fade. Instead, she heard a voice—a calm, unhurried voice—cut through the stillness of the alley.

“I know you’re here.”

Y/n’s breath caught in her throat. How?

Her eyes widened, and she turned her head just enough to see the silhouette of Rengoku standing at the far end of the alley. He hadn’t even run after her, hadn’t rushed to catch up. No, he had been patient, waiting for her to come to terms with whatever it was she was running from.

His amber eyes gleamed in the low light, calm and unwavering, as if he had always known she would end up here.

“There's no reason to run,” he said gently, his voice like a warm flame in the cold night air. “I’m not going to hurt you.”

Y/n’s instincts screamed at her to move, to escape before he could catch her again, but something in the way he spoke—something in the way he wasn’t threatening or angry—stilled her.

He stepped closer, his posture relaxed yet firm, like a man who had faced countless trials and was ready for whatever came next, but with no desire to force her hand.

Y/n’s chest tightened, her mind a swirl of conflicting thoughts. She felt trapped, cornered by his calm presence, unable to run or hide. The weight of the pouch in her hand felt unbearable now, its coins clinking in the silence between them.

With a sharp exhale, Y/n tossed the pouch back toward him, letting it fall to the ground with a dull thud. She pulled her hood back with a swift motion, the dark fabric falling away from her face, revealing the features she had kept hidden for so long.

Rengoku froze.

For a long moment, there was no sound, no movement except the quiet rustle of her cloak in the night air. Y/n tilted her head slightly, narrowing her eyes at him, as though daring him to say something. Anything.

But when his amber eyes locked onto her, his mouth parted in disbelief, and his voice trembled with something she couldn’t quite place.

"Mom...?"

Y/n blinked, her mind struggling to catch up. Her breath caught in her throat, a confused laugh escaping her before she could stop it. "What?!" she snapped, her hands flying up as if to shield herself from whatever madness was unfolding before her. "What do you mean, 'Mom'? Are you out of your mind or something?"

Rengoku took a step forward, his face etched with shock, his eyes wide with recognition. "I... it can’t be. But your eyes—"

Y/n’s eyes narrowed, her pulse racing in confusion and frustration. She threw her hands up in the air, exasperated, and took a sharp step back, her posture defensive.

“Do I look old enough to be your mother?!?!" she snapped, her voice rising with disbelief. “I mean, seriously, what is this? Some kind of sick joke? Do I look like I’m in my thirties or something?! I’m not your mom!”

Her words cut through the air, filled with a mixture of anger and pure confusion. She had no idea what was going on or why this stranger—this man she had just met, someone who’d seemed so calm and collected, was now looking at her with that wide-eyed recognition.

Rengoku seemed to recoil, his hands slightly raised in a gesture of apology, but he didn’t back away. His expression was a mix of concern and bewilderment, the shock of the moment still written clearly across his face.

“I—I’m sorry. It’s just… your eyes. They’re so familiar,” he stammered, though his voice remained steady. "I... I didn’t mean to—"

Y/n cut him off, shaking her head in disbelief. “No, no. No. I’m not your long-lost mother, and if you think I am, you’ve got some serious issues you need to sort out. My life’s hard enough without you adding some random, weird connection I didn’t ask for.”

Y/n’s breath hitched in frustration, her hands still clenched tightly by her sides as she glared at him, daring him to say anything more. She wasn’t sure what game he was playing, but she wasn’t about to entertain it any longer.

Rengoku, still standing there with that mixture of shock and regret in his eyes, seemed to deflate slightly under her sharp words. His face reddened, and he shifted uncomfortably, clearly caught off guard by her anger and the situation at hand.

“I... I’m really sorry,” he muttered, his voice lower now, laced with embarrassment. “I didn’t mean to cause any trouble. It’s just...”

He trailed off, the words caught in his throat as he glanced at the pouch of money still resting on the ground between them, the coins catching the faint glow of the lanterns above.

“Keep the money...” he mumbled, his voice almost inaudible now. His cheeks were flushed, a stark contrast to his usual fiery demeanor, and his eyes darted anywhere but at her.

With that, he gave a small bow of his head, and without another word, he turned on his heel and began to walk away, his broad shoulders slightly hunched, his back turned in silent retreat.

Y/n watched him go, her mind swirling with a mixture of confusion, frustration, and something else she couldn’t quite place. She hadn’t expected him to just... give up like that.

As he disappeared into the distance, she couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, “What a weird guy.”

And with that, she was left alone in the quiet alley, the pouch still lying untouched at her feet, the night air thick with the weight of everything unsaid.

KNY HCs - A Surprise Kiss! (Hashiras + Kamado Crew) Part 1

Prompt: You give them a kiss unexpectedly; how do they react, when they like you back?

A/N: This is Part 1! This part includes Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Rengoku, Giyuu, Shinobu, and Sanemi. Next part will include the rest of the Hashira, Nezuko, and Genya.

Some of these have implied less-fluffy notes, but nothing explicit/over the top.

Tanjiro

Let's be honest, he would internally be a mess. He would try hiding it, but his face would flush and give himself away. He would hastily touch the spot you kissed him (whether his cheek, lips, forehead, etc.), eyes beaming.

"S-Sorry, I wasn't expecting that...!" Unprompted, he would take you by the wrist if you were trying to walk away," W-Wait!!! Let me return the favor!!!" Mentally, it's like you're proposing to him. This boy takes you and your love VERY seriously!!!

One kiss becomes MANY. He isn't overtly the PDA type, but makes it his goal to sneak up or surprise you with it every once in a while. Especially before big missions.

He becomes more protective of you, like Nezuko, and always makes the time to kiss you good morning, and kiss you goodnight. It's a routine that he will live by, and love by, as long as he can have you. Domestic vibes, for sure.

Zenitsu

Let's be for real: you already know what happens. But let's get into it anyway:

Similar to Tanjiro, he goes to touch the spot you kissed him at," Ehh?? Ehhh?? Y/N-san??? Was that real-- just now?!" He's stammering, blushing vibrantly. You may have to kiss him again just to keep him from spiraling with questions.

He would be a mess under your kisses/touch. He would be all over you in a SECOND, clinging to your arm, his arms wrapped around your waist: anyway he can be close/touching you, he will. He makes it his mission to never leave your side again.

He becomes heavily protective of you: to the point he has "The Talk" with Tanjiro and Inosuke. He'd be warning them that if they try to make a move: he'd kill them (all jokes... for SURE). He's spunky and fiery, but as soon as you get a hold of him, he's putty in your hands.

Inosuke

He gets a far off look on his face, before snapping back to reality," WHAT WAS THAT?!"

You'd have to explain it properly for it to sink in. And even then, it may take a few times for it to really click. He would have to talk through it, OUT LOUD, even if other people were around.

"So it's not an attack; it's meant to be a good gesture... Friends don't normally do it, but there is a stage ABOVE friends that do all the time... it's disarming, but it's STILL not an attack or a way to parry..." Inosuke would grab you by the shoulders, shaking you.

"TEACH ME MORE!!! IT MAY NOT BE AN ATTACK, BUT IT CAN STILL BE USED IN BATTLE!!! THEY'D NEVER SEE ME COMIN--'"

You explain that the boar mask would have to come off for that to be effective. Then his resilience would deflate, but he'd get the picture. Can't go around kissing demons...

But he DOES do it to you. It becomes a game to him. Almost like rough housing/fighting... Whenever you're in a compromising position, whenever you're doing chores or tasks, even before a big mission: Inosuke always surprises you with a kiss.

Again, one becomes many... and soon enough he deduces that there's a reason you only kiss him... so in return, he'll save his kisses for you.

Rengoku

His large eyes, normally unblinking and brilliant, twitch. He would blink a moment or two, looking up/down to you.

"Ahh! Thank you, friend! That is very sweet!" You would have to explain that you had feelings that stemmed PAST friendship.

"...OH. Ohh, goodness... well-- nothing is more valuable than companionship. I am honored that you've considered me."

He would wrap his arms around you so quickly, spin you around and kiss you deeply.

"Allow me to choose you, too!! I choose... to be with you!!!" Be careful. Similar to Tanjiro, it almost feels like a proposal.

He would usually be his normal self around you, but would go out of his way to kiss you. Especially before big missions or summons. He would make the time to see you and be with you, even if it was a detriment to himself. Whenever he kisses you, he locks you in somehow: by a hug, a two-handed caress of your face, or even by locking his legs around you... (This last part is mostly if he's sitting down)

Like it or not, his kisses are as fiery as his spirit: it's VERY easy to get worked up for the both of you. It's like Lays: you can't have just ONE.

Giyuu

Similar to Rengoku, he would be taken by surprise. You would see his eyebrow move slightly, or his eyes widen a touch. Even with him being super dense emotionally, the dots connect for him instantly.

"O-Ohh..." More than usual, he's basically speechless. But leave it to him to practically sweep you off your feet with a kiss in return. He takes it seriously.

You started it. And now he won't let you go a day without at least a few kisses, heated or tame.

Much like Inosuke, he would go out of his way to find you and kiss you. But unlike some of the others, he won't shy away from doing it in front of others. He doesnt give a FUCK if they see, make fun of you two, etc. A kiss is a kiss, and hes gonna have one with you whether they care or not.

Some think it's on purpose, to show the other Hashira that he has friends AND more. But Giyuu is just REALLY touch starved. And he REALLY likes you.

His kisses are intense, especially before a big trip or mission. It's hard not to get into something more when he comes for you. He practically makes your legs give out, and he has held you the few times they have.

His kisses are dangerous. Be careful with this one. Especially if you aren't alone...

Shinobu

"Hmm? Did you need something--"

When you kiss her, she wordlessly kissing you back, smiling," Ahh~ you're so sweet, Y/N-san!"

At first, she thinks you're just overly friendly or affectionate (similar to Mitsuri). But she starts to get it once it starts to happen more often.

Her kisses are interesting. She kisses you places that are a bit off-kilter. The knuckles on your hands, the tip of your nose, close to a spot where she had to stick/poke you for blood.... she kisses you most everywhere, but hardly ever on your lips.

She's not the type to show PDA: she'll hardly ever do it. But when she does want to kiss you directly, she's making excuses to sneak you away and do it privately. It's a very intimate thing for her, and she doesnt want to feel prying eyes. It's hard for her, especially at the Butterfly Estate, but she warms up to you and PDA after a while.

Her kisses are featherlight. And though few and far between, she makes them count.

Sanemi

"...what're you on about--?"

Oh. Oh shit.

When the kiss ends, the air immediately becomes tense. Heat rises in his face and ears almost instantly, as he takes you by your wrist. If you're not already in a private place, he takes you to one and nearly slams you against a wall.

"...what're you trying to play at here?" Similar to Inosuke and Rengoku, you'd have to explain yourself. While his body language is guarded and on the offensive, the blush betrays him. He's smitten. He's ALWAYS been smitten. But hearing your words and the way you say them really nails in the fact that you aren't joking, and that you're not trying to get him embarrassed or anything. You GENUINELY like him.

Similar to Giyuu, his kisses are dangerous. Which is why they're usually received or given in private. He HAS held you up before because his kisses can get pretty steamy. But he's also given you kisses so sincere and sweet that it makes you relax enough to fall asleep with your head on his shoulder.

He's a man of many words and actions: most of which are aggressive or crass. But he saves the nicest things for you when you're alone.

But be wary: if it's been a while since your last kiss, especially due to missions: just know it's coming. And when it does, it'll be REALLY hard to stop.
