“[name]… i—” tanjiro stuttered, his heart pounding in his chest as he struggled to find the right words. after nearly four months of wrestling with his feelings, he finally mustered the courage to speak the three words that had been weighing on his mind since the day you two started dating. “i love you.” his voice was filled with sincerity and vulnerability as he gazed into your eyes, desperately hoping for a positive response.

tanjiro didn’t expect much, especially not from you, given your typically stoic demeanor. as he nervously awaited your response, he observed the subtle shift in your expression from stoicism to raw emotion, causing his eyes to widen in astonishment. “i love you too, tanjiro!” you exclaimed, a radiant smile spread across your face as joy and affection filled your voice. his shock melted into a mix of relief and overwhelming happiness as his heart thumped with love.

“wha— [name]!” tanjiro exclaimed in disbelief, pulling you into a snug embrace, his arms wrapped securely around you. “i didn’t expect this, i love you so much, [name]. you’re the best boyfriend i could ever ask for.” overwhelmed with emotion, he held onto you tightly, cherishing the moment and the depth of his feelings for you. in response, you reciprocated the embrace, squeezing him back, a soft chuckle escaping your lips.

✧.* 𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐀

“i really love you, asshole! so don’t die!” inosuke cried out, his voice filled with raw emotion as he cradled your seemingly injured body. you weren’t seriously hurt, but every time you got even slightly injured, he would freak out.

“inosuke, i’m fine—” you began to reply, but then stopped abruptly as his words sank in. you realized despite his rough exterior, inosuke truly cared for you in his own unique way. he might not fully grasp the concept of love, but his feelings for you were genuine.

looking up at him with wide eyes, you met the gaze of a his boar mask, feeling a surge of warmth and appreciation for the sudden declaration. without hesitation, you jumped up and wrapped your strong arms tightly around his neck, beaming with joy. “i love you too, inosuke!”

inosuke was immediately caught off guard by your enthusiastic reaction, especially considering the amount of energy you were wasting by squeezing him so tightly. despite his initial surprise, he couldn’t deny the overwhelming feeling of joy that washed over him as he felt you pressed against him.

“hey!! what the hell— you can smile?!” he screams, grabbing you by your shoulders and shaking you back and forth.

zenitsu had always been attracted to girls from the very beginning, his desperation evident as he clung to them, pleading for them to be his bride. you observed his antics with a mix of amusement and bewilderment, yet your genuine care for the boy remained steadfast, leading you to risk your life for him on numerous occasions.

as zenitsu witnessed the depth of your unwavering concern and selflessness, a newfound realization began to blossom within him — a stirring of emotions for his dear friend, [name].

after a while, zenitsu finally mustered up the courage to express his feelings to you. once you reciprocated, it didn’t take him long to pour his heart out. “i love you so much, [name]-chan! i’ll do anything for you!” he declared, taking both of your hands in his own and kneeling toward your face, his eyes filled with sincerity and devotion.

witnessing his heartfelt confession filled you with a burst of energy, and you couldn’t help but beam with joy. “i love you too, zenitsu!” you replied, your words carrying the weight of your own affection and gratitude. upon hearing your words, zenitsu was overcome with emotion, tears streaming down his face and snot rolling messily as he wiped it with the sleeve of his bed-shirt. “i promise, i’ll be good to you forever, [name]-chan!” he exclaimed, his voice choked with tears as his eyes reflected his unwavering commitment to you.

genya swallowed heavily, his heart pounding in his chest as he prepared to reveal his true feelings to you. you’ve been dating for eight months now, and he was terrified. with sweaty palms and a nervous expression, he faced you, the weight of his emotions hung in the air. this unfamiliar sensation was something he had never experienced before.

as you gazed back at him, your head slightly cocked to the side, your expression stoic and unreadable, revealing little of your own thoughts and feelings. “[name], i have something to say..” he declared, his voice tinged with nervousness, you watched him closely, noticing the flush that colored his face. your eyes locked onto his, silently urging him to continue.

“i.. i really.. love you, and.. i’ve truly appreciated these past few months we’ve spent together. you’re a really good guy, i really, really love you, [name].” genya confesses, his words filled with vulnerability. as he reveals his feelings, your expression swiftly transitions from stoic to joyful. without hesitation, you jump onto him, wrapping your arms around him in a tight embrace. “i love you too, genya!” you exclaim, causing him to stumble back slightly, caught off guard by your reaction; but smiling to himself as he witnesses your joyful side.

Kamaboko Squad x Reader Horror Movie Night Headcanons

Genya

When you suggested the idea to him, he didn’t see anything wrong with it

His logic was that scary movies are fake so he should have nothing to be afraid of

He got snacks, ordered pizza and you both cuddled and started watching the movie

At the start he was a bit nervous but he knew he couldn’t back out

He flinched a bit at the first jumpscare but didn’t think it was too harmless

At some parts he grew really anxious but he disregarded it

At one part, you hugged Genya tighter because you were scared at one point but little did you know, he was even more terrified than you were

He enjoyed spending time with you although he kinda wished you picked a different movie but he didn’t says so

Next time he may have to hide the horror movies just so you pick a different one

He was just happy that he could now tell his brother that he watched a horror movie

Tanjiro

He didn’t mind you wanting to watch a horror movie, he admitted that he was a little nervous but he would do it for you

He made sure Nezuko was with Mitsuri that way she wouldn’t see something that she didn’t want to see and have nightmares

He also made it clear that you could tell him to stop the movie whenever you wanted

As you both watched the movie, he always felt the need to hold his breath whenever the suspense started to build up

He flinched at some parts of the movie but still watched

If a part ever scared you, he would pause the TV and confirm that you want to continue or stop

If you wished to continue watching, he would start it and let you know that you could stop again

No matter how many times you wanted to pause, he would never get annoyed because he wanted you to be comfortable

When it was over and if you were scared to sleep, he would sing you lullabies to help you sleep

If you had nightmares, he would ensure you that they weren’t real and would even buy a night light for you

Zenitsu

He would be 100% opposed to the idea

He kept going on and on about how scary and real they looked

He would try everything and anything to change your mind but since you were so persistent about it, he reluctantly gave up

The whole time, he tightly clinged onto you and screamed loud whenever there was a jumpscare

He kept throwing accusations about who the killer might be and buried his face into your neck whenever he didn’t want to see a part because he felt like a jumpscare would come soon

When it finally ended he kept complaining on how it was the scariest thing he’d ever witnessed and would beg you to never make him watch another horror movie ever again

If the end credits said, “Based on a true story“, his heart would literally drop right then and there

He would shriek at the slightest movement or sound for the next couple of days

Every night before bed, he would check to closet, under the bed, and make sure the doors and windows were locked and secured

If he ever had a nightmare, he would wake up screaming which obviously caused you to wake up and you would have to comfort him and explain that it was fake

Inosuke

He would immediately agree because he claimed he wasn’t scared of anything especially a movie that was fake

Throughout the movie, he kept forgetting that the character in the movie couldn’t hear him so he kept trying to tell the character what to do, “DON’T GO IN THERE!” “LOOK BEHIND YOU IDIOT OR YOU’RE GOING TO DIE!” 

Whenever a character died, he would laugh like a maniac and go on about how stupid they were for not listening to him

He would make fun of the killer and go on about how he would obviously overpower the killer

At the most suspenseful parts, he would grab your shirt and shake you like crazy while watching the movie and be like, “OOOOO WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN? WILL THEY DIE, ARE THEY THE REAL KILLER?!”

When the movie ends, he will insist that you watch another one to see if the characters in that movie will be smarter and listen to him

He will never understand the fact that the people in the movie can’t hear him let alone listen to him

Teaching their child combat | Headcanons

gender neutral

-> In this, you are the mom/dad.

-> The child is gender neutral and (C/N) is child’s name.

-> Kyojuro Rengoku, Inosuke Hashibira, Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma.

Kyojuro Rengoku

You were greeting Kyojuro, back from his mission, when your kid immediately rushed to him to welcome him back home too. « Papa ! I wanna be a demon slayer ! » they said. Kyojuro giggled, surprised that it was the first thing his child told him after a whole week away from one another.

« I wanna be the flame pillar ! Just like you ! » You blinked a few times at (C/N)’s words. « Uh ? Why not an ice pillar ? Like me ?! » you asked. « I look more like dad. And I like his haori. » they replied almost instantly, making you baffled.

(C/N) was only 9, but it was better for them to learn the combat basics that young. After all, with both parents being demon slayers, there might could be consequences on that child. They might be a prey for demons especially mad at you or your husband.

Kyojuro immediately gave your child a wooden sword, not even thinking of giving them a random stick at first. You complained about it, but he replied : « Well, they won’t learn the correct movements with something that isn’t the same to hold. » You tried to argue, but your kid was so happy and so excited, you just decided to watch them.

That day, (C/N) trained until it was dinner. Your kid always loved to play outside, but even for them, it was a lot of energy spent in only one day. « You’re doing very great, (C/N) ! » Kyojuro encouraged them. They nodded happily.

When it was time for dinner, you had to pull them to eat. They were determined to keep training. « I’m proud of you baby, but you need to eat. » you said. « Look at me ! I always eat fully my plates ! You don’t have enough energy to train if you don’t eat all of the delicious meals people offer you ! » Kyojuro said. It did work well. That child really was like him !

Inosuke Hashibira

Inosuke thought that growing up in nature was normal and thus to be trained to survive since being a toddler. So, he encouraged this behavior on his child too, still under your influence not to make him grow into a 2nd Inosuke.

So, it wasn’t a surprise for any of you when (C/N) asked you both, out of blue : « I wanna know how to fight. » You arched an eyebrow. « You know how to fight ? » referring hand-to-hand. Your child whined a bit, as they were only 6. « No ! With swords ! »

« ALREADY ?! But you’re so young ! » you replied. But it was too late ; Inosuke was already preparing something. Being more conscious and careful when he became a dad, he came back with wooden sticks -a bit heavy so it could resemble the height of a sword.

« … You thought I was gonna give him my swords. » he said, seeing your face. He didn’t need for you to reply, as he already pulled (C/N) outside. « Mom/Dad is too scared of training you. But I, the great Inosuke, best dad ever, will train you until you became a beast ! » he yelled, pointing to himself, his kid laughing happily.

« We’ll learn the movements ! How to move your swords ! But first, we have to warm up. » Inosuke said, putting his swords down, to stretch. Your kid following him everytime he went outside to show him his « childhood as a boar », they were already quite flexible. « Ha ! One day you’ll be as flexible as your dad ! » your husband said, proud.

You thought to yourself that it was better to let Inosuke handle the training to begin with. Once it would get too complicated to explain, you would step in. For now, it was only a few movements so (C/N) could defend themselves, and you couldn’t be happier watching this father/child bonding moment.

Tanjiro Kamado

Tanjiro was very proud when (C/N) walked up to him to ask him to train them. You weren’t a demon slayer ; thus, even though you learnt self defense and knew how to protect yourself if you needed to when Tanjiro was away, a training from you would never equal the full experience your husband would’ve given them.

« (C/N)… I’m so happy you’re finally ready ! » he replied, patting their head. Their training started the next day, after Tanjiro had rested from his previous mission. He gave them a wooden sword. You thought it was careless coming from Tanjiro, but he assured you that it wasn’t dangerous.

« Psst, (C/N) ! I gave you a wooden sword so you could know how to hold better a normal one and learn the correct movements quicker, but be careful ! If mom/dad finds out it can be dangerous, they’ll get mad at us ! » he said, making (C/N) giggle.

They were already 10, and Tanjiro considered them mature enough to understand what they were doing. He showed them a few movements, and how to hold the sword well. « You won’t fight me, yet. You need to control your movements and your breathing first. »

« You know, they don’t have to go through the intense and never ending training you had before even trying to touch you with the sword. » you said, jokingly. Tanjiro actually realized that he was getting overhyped and giggled. « Mom/dad’s right ! I’m getting too excited. »

For the whole afternoon, your husband trained your kid. But when it was time for dinner, as they were both tired, they instantly went inside to eat. « And last but not least… a fighter has to eat ! To get strong ! » Tanjiro said, before eating the whole plate, (C/N) mimicking his action.

Zenitsu Agatsuma

You weren’t a demon slayer. You knew the basics in combat and in sword manipulation, as Zenitsu wanted you to be safe whenever you were alone. So, it wasn’t surprising to you when he suggested (C/N) started training as well.

Yet, you didn’t think it would be that soon. Indeed, Zenitsu was training with his old friend, Inosuke. As (C/N) noticed them, they started watching, trying to imitate their movements. « Dad ! I wanna try ! » they yelled at him, making him avert his gaze to look at them.

« (C/N) ! I’m losing to your uncle now ! » he yelled back, making your child laugh. Inosuke blabbered about how the blonde was going to lose anyways. Zenitsu gave a stick to your kid, showing him basic movements.

You sat next to your child as they mimicked their father’s movements, still fighting the boar man. « I will have a thunder breath ! Like daddy ! » they said. You giggled. « Oh, you wanna fight demons too ? » They nodded, even quicker with their movements.

Inosuke, hearing the news, but still focusing on beating his friend, yelled : « Ha ! That’s a good kid ! Fighting demons, like his father ! » Zenitsu wanted to say something, but even after all those years, he still struggled a bit against his friend when he was awake.

After ending their fight, your husband and your friend walked to your kid, showing them even more movements. « But you also have to be flexible ! » « And develop your breath style ! » You stopped the two men by picking (C/N) up. « Keep calm, you two ! (C/N)’s only 8 ! » But your child was happy.

[belovedmuichiro]

how do you think that the pillars would have reacted to human akaza or Hakuji trying to join their ranks, he's strong but my man did kill 67 people with his bare hands - Space anon

So idk if you meant this as a whole au but here we go :) I imagine the only way for Akaza to become human and join the demon slayers would be via Kyojuro, and that’s not even me as a shipper talking that’s just the only way I can see it going. I don’t think any other hashira would hesitate to kill him, and I think that Kyojuro would be the only one who could a) get through to Akaza and b) would be at least somewhat interested in his potential. I mostly think this because Kyojuro, despite trying to kill him, was trying to convince Akaza of humanity’s beauty and if that was getting through to him, I think he wouldn’t of discarded that. I also think this is the only way Akaza would have access to Tamayo’s medicine (which would have to be finished way earlier in the timeline) and would ever join the demon slayers.

With that in mind! The majority don’t like him, but here’s my in-depth thoughts on that (spoilers!)

Kyojuro likes Akaza, he sees potential in him and wants to help him grow. If and when he learns about his backstory, he relates it to the way his father succumbed to his depression, and feels a sort of obligation to help him heal since he couldn’t do it for his father. He’s Akaza’s biggest advocate, as well as his friend and partner.

Mitsuri is wary of him, but she has a curious and forgiving nature, so she warms up to him quickly, especially with Kyojuro’s approval of him. She’s very understanding of how being a demon changed him, and doesn’t acknowledge it as a real part of himself since he had literally no humanity. She trusts Kyojuro, so she trusts him.

Obanai hates him plain and simple. He’s completely unwilling to try and understand him, and refuses to work with him. If it weren’t for him being a corps member, he probably would’ve killed him. He also hates how close he is to Kyojuro and Mitsuri.

Shinobu is neutral but borders on liking him after he gives her information on Douma. She’s his doctor, so she has to be neutral but she’s very grateful for the advantage he offers her and feels kind of amused by his hatred for Douma.

Giyuu is also neutral, bordering on disliking him. He gives him a fair chance because of the things he did to protect Nezuko, but stays away from him and doesn’t talk to him (not that Akaza tries, they really just stand in silence). He has a deep respect for Kyojuro so he’s accepting of it all, he just doesn’t want to be around him.

Sanemi hates hates hates it. He’s right there with Obanai he hates him so much. He’s vocal about how unfair it is and has tried to attack Akaza before, but it didn’t go well for anyone and he ended up getting in a lot of trouble for it. He still tries to pick verbal fights though.

Muichiro straight up doesn’t care. He’s not even neutral, he barely acknowledges anything is happening. Partially because of his memory issues, but almost entirely because it means nothing to him. If anyone asked him, he wouldn’t even answer. If he has to work with Akaza, he doesn’t show anything beyond compliance with his orders. He’s not afraid to rip into him if the time ever comes, but Akaza would have to piss him off significantly for that.

Tengen doesn’t like him, and this is mostly because he’s Kyojuro’s friend and feels like his trust has been violated by Kyojuro bringing a former demon into their ranks. He is incredibly impressed by his fighting skills though, but that’s as far as his respect goes.

Gyomei doesn’t like it, but doesn’t put up a fight either. Basically how he felt about sparing Nezuko and Tanjiro, he has reservations about it and doesn’t want to accept it, but won’t go as far as to physically stand in the way of it.

Now the younger demon slayers, such as Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu? They’re funnier, but maybe I’ll write that another time skdjskfjkdk

[lexacoolfox]

could i request tanjiro, obanai or giyuu you choose, with a s/o like kirumi please :D

Tanjiro, Obanai, and Giyuu with an S/O like kirumi

Now you were a other demon slayer he meet along the way, you were quite and always had a plain expression on. But you were kind and really nice to talk to. You were often sent on missions and you always completed them perfectly hardly ever problems with completing them.

You were really close to hashira level.

Tanjiro really admired your skill and strength.

Now when you weren’t doing demon slayer businesses, you go to your home and be a maid.

One time you and tanjiro also his friends were staying at somebody house like the wisteria house, a house that helps demon slayers. During the day you helped around the house, even though the house owner offered for you to relax you would refuse

You also tend to the trio if they request for you. Nezuko couldn’t request for you so she would find you. Since she has a muzzle on you assumed it would be hard for you to understand her. But she never really asked for anything complicated. You could actually understand what she wants or needs very easily.

You would clean and cook. You also did it all perfectly. The house was basically sparkling and the food you cooked tasted heavenly. You also gave the trio plus nezuko the best comfort possible. Like you made their futons the most comfortable thing to lay on. You cleaned up after inosuke, you had tissues for zenitsu ready, you also give nezuko head pats, you also encourage tanjiro and tell him how much you admire his determination.

“That determination you have tanjiro, that’s going carry you a long way. I don’t believe it’s just strength and endurance to do something great as a demon slayer, I also believe it’s soul and heart. Remember I am supporting you.”

When you told him that and he looked at you he thought you were the most beautiful person in the world, the moon light practically added a light that made you look heavenly.

He would ask things for you more often

He would ask if you would take a walk with him cause he doesn’t want to be alone, take a look at the flowers, or if you could teach him how to cook. You always did them without fail. During a walk he would strike up conversation, looking at flowers he would say something smart like

“Out of all the flowers in the garden…I think your the prettiest flower of all.”

This would cause you to lightly smile. Which he loved, you always had such a neutral expression on.

When you teach him how to cook, he likes how precise you are with mixing, adding, measuring, etc. you just do everything so perfectly. Even to the tiniest detail.

He confessed, when you made him a dessert after Rengoku’s death (R.I.P. Rengoku❤️‍🔥) and comforted him the best you can. Cause you truly felt such sadness for Rengoku death. But you wanted to be strong for tanjiro.

He realized because of the event. that any day he could die or you could die. He didn’t want either those to happen, but he especially didn’t want it to happen before he could tell you how he felt.

So he told everything he felt and confessed how much he loves you and everything you do.

You actually accepted his feelings. He was so happy, he swore to protect you till his dying breath.

You have known Tomioka since he became a pillar, you were a hashira before he was.

When he had a first mission as a hashira you joined him. You got to see him in action, and you were impressed by his skill.

His estate was still in the process of being build so you allowed him to stay at yours. There he got to see how well you took of it. At night you were a perfect demon slayer and during the day the perfect maid.

The food you made was perfect, the house was cleaned to perfection, everything was just perfect.

Tomioka did appreciate when you would ask if he needed anything. You also told him if he needs you to just ask, and you’ll do your best to complete the tasks

When you were finished with you daily task he asked you if you wanted to play shogi (Japanese version of chess) to which you agree. He actually won a couple of times to which you congratulate him, telling him how smart he is.

You two got close after that often playing shogi together or doing missions together. You also got food to eat together sometimes. You and giyuu got along cause how similar you two are.

You both are very quite and not ones to show emotions very often. But for some reason you got along with most of the other hashira just fine.

Sometimes giyuu doesn’t want to be alone and since he’s really comfortable around you he would stop by your place.

But he didn’t want to come off as he just wanted to hanging out with you cause he’s lonely, he would come up with an excuse like

‘I was around and thought I’d say hi.’

‘I couldn’t find anybody else to play shogi with.’

‘Can you get me more that tea you always make?’

You acted as if you didn’t know the real reason he was there but you didn’t mind. You found it kinda cute.

Now he was the one to confess but it happened on a mission.

While you two went on a mission together, he was hit with a demon blood art. And he was acting not like himself at all after you killed the demon.

He had a flushed face and a dumb smile on.

“Hey y/n.”

“Yes?”

“I love you.”

“What?!”

Then he passed out and you carried him back to your place.

When he awoke he was in a unfamiliar bed. You came in and asked if he was feeling alright. He said he felt fine. You gave him some tea and a bit of food. But then you asked him a question

“Tomioka, do you…love me?”

That caused him to choke on his tea!

“Last night on our mission, before you passed out you said you loved me. I was just wondering if that’s true.”

“…yes it’s true…I love you.”

“Well…then you should know. I love you too.”

Giyu was so happy that he let out a little smile and you both became a couple.

Giyu was so happy to have somebody special in his life again. he swore to himself to protect you at all cost.

Obanai met you at a café in a town near headquarters.

Your family ran a café and you worked their and you were the perfect server. Being able to complete difficult and detailed drinks, I’m just a few minutes. Able to carry multiple things at once. You were also made the place spotless

Mitsuri invited all the pillars, to come to the café her treat.

When you came up to take their orders, they all order huge amounts of food, while they Obanai didn’t order anything cause he didn’t want to show his mouth.

They were impressed when about 5 minutes later you brought back the food they ordered. They all ate and chatted. Eventually it was time for them to go.

You stopped Obanai on the way out. You handed him a small batch of cookies you had just made.

“I saw you looking at our cookies so i thought I give you some to go since you didn’t eat anything. I hope you enjoy them. Please come Back again.”

Obanai was kinda shocked but then felt a warm bubbly feeling inside him as he walked back to his estate. When he tried your cookies he couldn’t help but smile. They tasted delicious!

He would always visit the café before and after a mission. He would always ask for something to go and you would always give it to him. You also always quickly say a quick prayer of safety for him.

Sometimes if he’s there and doesn’t go on a mission and it’s not to busy in the café. You two would normally have a nice chat and get to know each other.

One night as he was passing by he saw a demon about to enter the café until you came out and sliced it neck with a sword.

Your father was actually a retired demon slayer. Just a couple of years before your family opened the café your father taught you how to fight with a sword to protect yourself and maybe others.

Obanai knew he was falling for you hard. He knew it and hated it cause he thought it might get in the way of his work. He also didn’t know if you felt the same way. So for a long time he just kept his feeling hidden.

Until one day he came into the café completely empty just you, pretty bloody and bruised. You quickly take him into the lounge where you take your breaks. You started working on stopping the bleeding. He was already passed out to the due of blood lose.

You did actually a swell job. Nice stitching, bandages were probably put on. The wounds didn’t have any infections. He would be just fine. You saw a crow and it was a crow from the demon slayer corps. You informed them about Obanai’s where about and conditions.

Later he woke up and thanked you for patching him up. You gave him some tea and food so he could recover. He for once took of his bandages. You got to see his mouth and you weren’t at all disgusted or disturbed. You didn’t mind his mouth at all.

As he was eating he looked really conflicted about something

“Iguro what’s wrong?”

“Um…ok so I want to tell you something and I want you to answer completely honestly.”

“Ok.”

“L/n I love you!”

“You love me?”

“Yes. You are always so kind to me giving me desserts, talking with me, and always wishing me safety on my journeys. You make me feel comfortable. Your also probably the first person I’ve shown my face to, yet you aren’t treating me differently. So yes I love you.”

“Iguro if we are both being honest here. I love you too. I’ve enjoyed every single conversation we had. I’m glad that you loved those treats I made. I feel so much joy when you come back from your missions alive.”

You kisses him and the scar to show how much you love him. Obanai now visit almost everyday. You always pull him into the back to quickly kiss him and you may or may not give him desserts that you made just for him. You also made little treats that are safe for his snake. You both always visit each other when your free and cuddle, while saying compliments to each other. Sometimes even falling asleep.

The thick veil of night that settles over Tanjirou's small, one bedroom apartment is borderline suffocating when he's by himself.

Shadows behind his dresser look too deep, the ones on his ceiling make the room feel too small, and he can’t bring himself to go into the kitchen once the sun goes down. It's not necessarily the look of darkness itself that bothers him so much as the feeling it gives him...

It had gotten worse since he moved out a few months ago after graduating high school. He used to avoid it by sneaking into Nezuko's room when he knew she was already asleep and camping out on her trundle bed until he drifted off to the sound of her breathing, or on the floor next to Takeo and Shigeru's bunk bed because they kept a nightlight for most of their childhood, but he lives on his own now- and his favorite way to avoid it is by having nights like tonight.

“Inosuke, can you hand me the chi- that's my foot, you asshole!" Zenitsu shouts and Tanjirou has to stifle a laugh to shush him.

“Guys, please, you’ll wake the neighbors-"

“Your foot shouldn't have been in my way then!" Inosuke interrupts matter-of-factly as he settles into his spot on the couch to Tanjirou's left, nearly sitting on Zenitsu's feet in the process before throwing over the bag of chips. Zenitsu catches them from where he’s leaning into Tanjirou's right side, his legs draped over the brunette's lap and into Inosuke's space that they all know he only pretends to care about by projecting a false bravado, his true feelings showing in the one arm he drapes behind Tanjirou’s shoulders and the other hand he places on Zenitsu’s shin once he’s comfortable.

They were setting up to have a movie marathon, one favorite from each of them, with a blanket pulled over Tanjirou’s laptop and the top of their heads. It was Tanjirou’s favorite way to spend time with them both, and he didn’t need to say it either; they knew.

Tonight felt different though, they could tell their boyfriend needed them more than usual. It had been like this for a few weeks now, pretty much ever since he’d moved into his new place Tanjirou had wanted either or both of them over whenever they weren’t working. It was because of this that both men made sure to put Tanjirou in the middle and pick lighthearted movies they knew would make him laugh, with Inosuke choosing “Thor” and Zenitsu choosing “You’ve Got Mail”.

Tanjirou’s pick obviously gets to go first though as “Howl’s Moving Castle” starts up on the screen and Tanjirou feels them settle around him into a pile of warm, comforting limbs.

They’d shared their fears with each other a long time ago, exchanged in hushed tones punctuated with comforting touches and warm embraces, so Inosuke and Zenitsu knew why Tanjirou had always been a fan of sleepovers, but it had taken them a while to find out.

Before they started dating in second year, all the way back to when they’d met in middle school, Tanjirou would beg to have a sleepover at any of their houses for the weekend. He never cared whose and would always make sure they were diligent with homework and cleaning up after themselves so none of their parents would ever have a reason to say no.

It wasn’t until they started dating though that either of them thought to ask him why.

Tanjirou had tried to hold it together but eventually broke down into silent tears as he explained he’d had a fear of being alone ever since he was a kid and his father died suddenly from illness- especially since he began having recurring nightmares afterwards of his entire family disappearing, falling ill, or worse, being killed.

The bright, shining boy they knew so well had never looked so small. Inosuke had grabbed his hand in a surprisingly gentle touch and pulled Tanjirou to straddle his lap, wrapping his arms tightly around the thinner boy’s waist while Zenitsu pressed against Tanjirou’s back from behind, arms coming around his shoulders, as both of them buried their faces in his hair... and he had let them.

He knew by then that, out of everyone in the world, they understood him, because they had the same fear.

Inosuke had his mom, Zenitsu had his grandfather, but at least now they had each other too, and have stayed that way ever since.

The movie is going for about thirty minutes when Tanjirou pauses it out of nowhere, his hand staying on the keyboard for a moment as he stares ahead. Zenitsu looks at him, puzzled. Inosuke had been only half paying attention, instead getting momentarily distracted with a loose thread on the elastic of Zenitsu’s sweatpants, but he still shouts indignantly regardless.

“Hey! What’s the bright idea? Didn’t you wa-”

“Move in with me.”

Inosuke goes quiet with the interruption and Tanjirou quickly squeaks out a “Please!” as he glances between them in a panic, not able to tell what they’re thinking yet.

“What kind of stupid question-!” Inosuke starts, looking at Tanjirou like he’d grown a second head.

“You really couldn’t have asked us that before you signed a six month lease for a place that could barely fit you and me, let alone him as well!” Zenitsu monotones, and Tanjirou has to mentally jump back and forth between the feeling of his tone and the meaning of his words but it just makes him laugh in relief even as Zenitsu starts playfully shaking him back and forth while shouting curses in his ear.

It only makes him laugh more when Inosuke yells at Zenitsu indignantly that he’s being shaken too before tackling him to the floor, nearly breaking Tanjirou’s laptop in the process. 

Tanjirou had realized sitting there, both of them wrapped around him, that he might never let them leave and now watching them wrestle playfully on the floor as Zenitsu cackles in pseudo-protest from the raspberries Inosuke blows into his neck, he knows that for sure.

↳{Fluffy first baths together are nothing short of what you’d expect with Inosuke}

The gentle pitter-patter of water droplets drizzling down bamboo shoots and swaying green leaves filled the otherwise quiet space. The welcoming scent of dew and greenery danced through the night air as you overlooked the outdoor bathing area, “absolutely perfect” you thought as your muscles cried in despair. You, along with your team of idiots and sweet Nezuko, had walked miles in search of a home bearing the Wisteria crest, everyone in desperate need of some rest, repair, and (hopefully) lots of delicious food. “Come in, young child, as weary as you may be, your body needs food to begin the healing process” a grainy voice beckoned. An elderly woman, just barely 5 feet wrapped in purple with shimmering silver hair, waited patiently beside the open door, “I think my husband was too excited to greet you all because he got carried away and made far too much food” she continued. “Oh don’t worry, my boys are very capable of eating you out of house and home, especially my boyfriend” you giggled while climbing the wooden steps to meet her.

You walked side by side to the dining room, the smell of beef stew and rice already reaching you, “Thanks again, to you and your husband, we’ve spent weeks running around and I know we desperately needed the break” she chuckled, “No need child, my husband misses the thrill of battle even in his old age, so we are thrilled to have you.” your eyes widened slightly but before you could ask the shorter woman of her husband's past, a loud crash could be heard behind the thin sliding door. Behind its papery protection was a scene that couldn’t be anymore hilarious; wrestling on the floor was an older man, thick and burley with round rims sliding down the bump of his nose, hovering over a wailing Zenitsu whose body was being forced into a backbend with his head held tightly in a choke-hold by the man’s hairy arms. Tanjiro stood beside the duo desperately trying to pull his friend out from under the other, trying to talk over the hefty laughter and screaming, while Inosuke stood cheering the man on as if this were some sort of cage fight.

You could feel the twitch in your eye act up, ready to pull them apart but before you could open your mouth the elderly woman cleared her throat, causing the wild bunch to freeze. Her husband's eyes slowly fell on hers as fear overcame them and as for the other three, they couldn’t help but shiver at the dead set look on yours. “What’s going on here?” the women commanded, her steel set tone sending the group scrambling into seated positions as she prowled into the room- you followed slowly behind her. Tanjiro croaked first, “W-well Mr.Shimura was telling us about his days in the force and he just wanted to show us some of his, uh, moves'' Tanjiro's voice wavered a bit at the end, not sure if ‘moves’ was the right way to describe assault. “Y/n! Please don’t let this man torture me anymore, he’s crazy!” the blonde rushed to your side with teary eyes and a tight grip on your arm. The women pulled her large husband up by his ear, “Don’t worry, you children enjoy your food, my husband,” she tugged on the lobe for emphasis, “and I will be off to bed” she turned to you, “I assume you’ll be able to find the bathing area and your room?” “Of course” you assured. The moment the couple became shadows behind the door, you could hear the wife’s grumbling- you couldn’t help but chuckle. 

Unsettled by the silence, you turned to find all eyes on you, waiting for a reprimand you had no intention of delivering, “Oh ease up, eat before the food gets cold'' a collective sigh could be heard around the table, your hand gentle releasing the part of Zenitsu that was still clinging your clothes. The spot open next to Inosuke was as inviting as the mouth-watering scent of a hot meal that had been calling your name since further down the hallways. Your fingers faintly fell on the tuft of your boyfriend's hair, ruffling them a bit, before diving into your own bowl of rice and soup. While Inosuke felt your small act of affection and craved it a bit more, he only offered a messy smile as he shoveled spoonfuls into his mouth. 

Ceramic dishes once filled with hand-cooked deliciousness were now cleaned empty, stacked into small towers all across the wooden table in some sort of toppling city. The room was almost empty too, Zenitsu and Tanjiro both eager to wash the wear away and to finally allow themselves to be consumed by uninterrupted dreams, had already taken off for the night. “I’m going to die,” the bloated heap on the floor cried, his duo-toned hair sprawled out around him and his robe strewn on the ground. You laughed, “No, Inosuke, you aren’t going to die” you laid on the carpet beside him, propped up by one elbow. As the man heaved and sighed as if he were going into labor, your nose caught a whiff of something salty and musty and earthy and gross, “I swear if you don’t go shower right now, my eyes are going to melt from my skull” you complained nasally as you pinched your nostrils shut; You were met with only louder moaning and heaving. “C’mon everyone else already-” you stopped yourself short, an idea too good to pass up crossing your mind. “Since everyone else is already tucked away, why don’t we bath together?” before you could even finish the question, Inosuke sat up faster than light, his eyes challenging yours as if saying “Are you playing me?”. “We never get to do anything just us so if you're up for it, I’m down” you concluded slightly smug as he clung to each word you uttered like a puppy waiting for a treat. You stood to leave, crouching down once more to balance your fingers below his chin, forcing him to face you, “But, no funny business”. 

You didn’t even have to look to see Inosuke was following, his second set of steps echoing yours as if they were the thunder that follows lighting; two things equally as powerful, yet relied on the other for strength. Again, you were greeted by the soft flow of water streaming into the natural spring, the brilliant moonlight above lighting the large basin carved from polished rock that sat in the middle of the space. “Turn around” you asked, to which Inosuke surprisingly compiled too with only a tiny grumble. You slid your filthy clothes off layer by layer, the black garments piled together as you tip-toed into the warm water, the steam instantly feeling irresistible on your skin. “I-I’ll close my eyes so you can get in, too” you stuttered, the heavy realization of the intimacy that was to come next, an intimacy that had never been shared before. “Whatever you want, we’ll be naked anyways in the water” Insouke pointed out as he too discarded his smaller pile onto yours, however, you didn’t dare peek before you heard the breaking of water as he climbed in, didn’t dare breathe as he groaned in relief. Slowly, you uncovered your eyes, trained steadily past the demon slayer's face; awkwardly and in unusual silence, you two sat five feet apart, waiting to see who dared to move first.

Well of course it was Inosuke who shuffled through the water first towards you, “You can look at me, ya know” he said with a sort of want in his voice, as if your gaze offered an approval he sought from only you. Whether the pink that painted his skin was from the temperature or the heat of the moment, you couldn’t tell, but you didn’t dwell on it for long because other things piqued your interest. While the number of times you’ve seen Inosuke wear a shirt was almost non-existent, the steam rising from the water altered his scarred chest into something else; it was more chiseled, more tanned, each dip and mark was more perfect, the reflection below somehow glowed in a way that was more than you had every painted Inosuke to be and it took your breath away. “What are ya looking at?” he asked defensively, fidgeting in an almost timid way; it reminded you that you shouldn’t be nervous around him, “You, ya dummy”. He scoffed at your bluntness, grateful to hear the normal bite in your tongue instead of the disgust he feared you’d feel towards him. His stunning pair of green orbs watched as you leaned closer to him, arms stretched as you grew even closer, “What the hel-” he panicked slightly only to be fooled as you grabbed something that was behind him; two bottles waved in front of his face as you teased, “What? Afraid of some soap, piglet?”. He muttered a string of complaints, ‘tease’ and ‘mean’ being the only two you could work out.

You squeezed the white shampoo into your open palm, setting it down somewhere on the edge of the bath, “May I?” you asked, hovering your hands beside his head. He sucked on his teeth before mumbling a raspy “fine”, easing himself between your awaiting limbs. You worked the suds into his scalp, gently massaging his dark roots with the pads of your thumbs before working your way down to bunch his falling strands, lathering them in the floral-scented soap. As you worked to cover every last inch of his scalp in bubbles, Inosuke struggled to keep quiet; his half-lidded eyes fluttered with every circular rub, his mouth slightly agape as he relished in your touch and had to work at suppressing the purrs that threatened to escape his chest like a cat.

“Bend down a little, will ya” you pushed against his head till he was close enough to the water that when he tipped back, his long tresses would be covered. You rinsed his hair gently, taking your time to enjoy this rare chance  with your loved one (along with the funny faces you knew he was making). Inosuke wanted to say something, anything would do really, but he just couldn’t put syllables together as if with every trail your fingers followed, you sucked away his ability to think. You had already rid his scalp from the soap, however, you weren’t ready to let go just yet; you ushered him out of the water so you could use your nails to push the soaked strands back, twirling them into a loose bun at the back of his head. Inosuke was so close, he was sure he’d make it out of this without any weird noises but the subtle scratching against his skin was too much for any man. A low rumble emerged from his throat followed by a relieved sigh, “If I knew all it took to tame this wild boar was a few head scratches, I’d have started a long time ago” you giggled, sliding your palms down the length of his neck to rest on his shoulders, “all done”. His brows furrowed at the weight behind his head and the lack thereof on his back, “It’s a bun” you explained, “Yea, well I feel bald” “Don’t knock just yet, it helps keep your hair from your face when you’re fighting, plus I think you look hot with it” you tightened your hold on him for a second as a blush crept its way onto his skin.

“It's getting late, you can get out if you want, I’m going to wash up” you reached for the same bottle of shampoo, tipping it over to collect its contents, but before the suds could touch your skin, Inosuke’s grip caught your wrist. “I’ll do it” he stated firmly, “You don’t have to-” “I’ll do it” he repeated, already taking the bottle. A glop of shampoo slapped against his palm as he rushed to spread it between his two hands. You closed your eyes, ready to be serenaded by his sweet touch when you were quickly reminded of who you were dealing with here- the furthest thing from sweet. Water splashed haphazardly as Inosuke drilled into your skull, roughly kneading your scalp. “Ouch! Stop it! Is that what it felt like to you?! Any harder and I’ll be the bald one!” you yelled, moving away from his hands still hanging above the water. Inosuke shrunk a little, visibly upset as he looked to his right at nothing specific. Instantly regretting your reaction, you acted to fix the situation, “Here” you gently placed his thick fingers against your scalp once again this time placing yours above his, easing them into a gentle, rhythmic massage. “See,” you sighed, “not everything in life is a race.”

Inosuke looked at the way your face fell at the feel of his fingers gently working against you, he almost had to double-take to make sure it was his touch that was providing you so much pleasure- in fact, it sort of inflated his already bulging ego. Although he spent less time washing and rinsing your hair as you had hoped (you could have sat there for hours) the water was growing cooler and time was nipping at both your ankles, reminding you of the sleep you oh so needed. Washed and feeling refreshed, you reached for his shoulders, using them to glide through the water until your chest was pressed against his, becoming more familiar with the feel of his warmth against yours. Your arms dangled over his shoulders with your head buried in his neck, while his large palms found themselves holding your waist, “this was fun” you whispered into his skin. Inosuke grunted, exhaustion creeping up on him too. “Let go to bed” you yawned ready to detach yourself reluctantly from the strong man when you were suddenly carried above the water, exposed and shivering you wrapped your legs instinctively around him. “What are you doing?” you asked embarrassed and flushed red. A wide grin overtook his face as he held you tighter, “Figured you’d be too weak to walk after I almost put you to bed with my magical fingers” he replied as he trudged through the water and out the bath, two towels already waiting to dry your skin.

Later that night as you both lay covered in cotton robes and silk sheets surrounded by the gentle buzz of the others snoring around the room, together on one futon with eyelids as heavy as stones, something occurred to you. “Hey babe?” you whispered, getting a half grunt in response, “you never took that bun out, did you?” the arm that was holding you securely to his side flicked you gently, “hush women” he breathed. You chuckled low, snuggling closer into Inosuke's warmth, falling effortlessly into a peaceful sleep.

Thank you~

"you're too memorable to forget" - Inosuke Hashibira

Warnings & Notes: descriptions of injury, this is more of a drabble than one shot

Inosuke Hashibira x Gender Neutral Medic Reader

genre: fluff

Summary: inosuke get's hurt on a mission and medic!reader helps him

Word Count: 1,172 words

You scratched at your ankle absentmindedly, you sat in the garden of the butterfly estate, watching the girls run around and play tag as Zenitsu and Tanjirou trained (not that Zenitsu wanted to). You giggled and stood up, stretching your arms over your head and walking back into the kitchen where you would start an easy yet healthy lunch. The boy's deserved it after all the training they've done.

Inosuke was on a mission at the moment, something about Tokyo (you didn't know the details), but he'd be here before lunch to enjoy a meal. You started to make some simple tonkatsu because it was one of your personal favorites and you knew Aoi liked it, especially when you made it.

Out of your varying talents from training under the Insect Hashira herself, your favorites were cooking and healing, then again everyone who studied under her learned it at some point. You weren't a demon slayer nor did you have extraordinary senses like the boys did but you were skilled with what you knew and that was good enough.

Speaking of the boys the front door slammed open to reveal Inosuke. "Inosuke!" you cheered, pausing in your cooking to run over. You lifted the boar mask from his head carefully, knowing underneath he was probably drenched in sweat. Inosuke grinned at you, his black and blue hair plastered against his forehead and neck. "(NAME)!" he shouted, ruffling your hair. Your name happened to be the only one he managed to not screw up.

What you took notice of though was the gash against his cheek and the several cuts littering his bare chest along with the slowly blossoming bruises. "your all scraped up." you sighed, grabbing his bicep to direct him to the infirmary all the while yelling for someone to finish the food.

"I can't get hurt! I'm invincible!" Inosuke screeched but complied nonetheless. You hummed non-committedly as you made him sit on a cot in the medical wing. You rummaged through the cabinets to find ointment and bandages.

You cleaned up the cheek cut first, wiping up the blood with a clot before applying a cream made from yarrow and calendula before placing gauze over it. "the great Inosuke doesn't need no medicine." Inosuke pouted, glaring at his feet. "yeah well even the mighty get hurt sometimes." you respond calmly as you apply the ointment to the cuts, not seeing the need to put bandages over them since they were that tiny. They'd close up quickly anyways.

"Is there anything else I should be concerned about?" you couldn't really do anything about the bruises except for having him use an ice pack before bed. "pfft- no I'm fine!" Inosuke smirks, trying to stand up before he ultimately collapsed into your arms. "you were saying?" you teased.

Inosuke huffed but sat back on the bed and reluctantly began to roll up his pant leg to show a deep cut that almost hit the bone. "you should've told me you idiot!" you screamed, smacking him gently on the head. "were you planning to bleed out all day?"

"I didn't think it was that bad..." he mumbled. You wanted to facepalm, even if he was raised by animals this was common knowledge. "you're gonna need it stitched you, bozo." all your insults were light-hearted, you swear.

Grumbling, you pulled out the stitching kit and held it in front of Inosuke's face. "this is gonna go through your skin, bud." you said slowly. "so don't scream, I'm not trying to fight you." he blinks before shrugging and rubbing at his ear.

Letting out a breath you slowly began to stitch the skin of Inosuke's leg back together. He bit down on his lip due to the lack of anesthesia, you would've given it to him if you had it but Lady Shinobu wasn't home and she had the key to the pill cabinet. After stitching it you cleaned it and wrapped a bandage around it tightly to make sure nothing came loose.

You lifted your head and blood rushed to your cheeks realizing the position you were in. you sat on your knees, between his legs as Inosuke stared down at you. "You're all red. Are you sick?"

"Inosuke n-no!" you yelped, your hands flying upwards as you stood.

"MANJIROU! BENITSU! (NAME) HAS A FEV-" he started to yell but you pushed your lips against his. When you pulled back he blinked at you multiple times. "what was that?" he asked. "a kiss." you responded, your face burning impossibly hotter. "why? don't couples and mates do that stuff?" his eyebrows creased as he titled his head.

How can someone so stupid be so cute?

"uh yeah. but I needed you to be quiet." you smiled awkwardly. "oh. so it was a one-time thing?" Inosuke sighed. "I-I mean it doesn't have to be if you want too of course! I wouldn't mind being in a relationship with you-"

Inosuke kissed you.

"and what was that for?" you muttered, hoping one answer over the other. "'cause I needed you to be quiet. and I don't think I'd mind being in a relationship with you if we can do that more often," he said, grinning at you with his head bowed.

"y-you wanna make it a regular thing?" you croaked. He laughed, not his maniacal one but a soft chuckle. "I do. but I assume you do as well?" you nod shakily at his proposal and kiss him again, this time long enough to actually acknowledge it.

It wasn't rough, hard, or bruising but instead surprisingly gentle like Inosuke was nervous to move his hand in the wrong place and accidentally break you. It was your first kiss (was it? you've technically kissed him three times now) and it certainly was a pleasurable one.

Your hand moved to rest against his cheek, your thumb rubbing over the gauze as his hands hovered over your hips. Your lips moved against each other's slowly, not in a heated way but more in anxiety to see where it would go away. Neither you nor Inosuke had been in a previous relationship and he could barely read social cues and you could barely keep a stable conversation with someone.

A soft coo came from the door and you and Inosuke pulled apart. Tanjirou stood at the door, smiling softly with his hands clasped as the younger girls crowded around him. Zenitsu laid on the floor and Kanao patted his back in a stiff apology. Your eyes widened and you pointed out the door. "out! now!" you screamed as Inosuke cackled in front of you.

Tanjirou winked jokingly and helped Kanao drag a defeated Zenitsu out the door, the younger girls following.

"wow (Name) you have them on a leash, dont'cha?" Inosuke hummed, patting your arm softly. "wait- I just realized you've never mispronounced my name. why's that?" you smile, turning to face him. He looks at you, his emerald eyes glowing with something you couldn't read.

"you're too memorable to forget."

                                            Chapter VII: War’s End (Part 2)

Bright rays of the sun beat down on you as you stood before the oceanfront. The wind blew through your locks and along your skin. In your hands was a net and a few fish caught in them. You ogled them with a tight squint. ‘I know this handwork-’

“_____! _____!”

Your eyes widen. “That can’t be. . .” You slowly turned around and was blessed with a beautiful sight. “Mother? Father? You’re both. . .” Tears flowed like a river as you tackled them in an overdue embrace. You couldn’t swallow the sorrow that crept over your body when you thought to have lost them.

“We’re both what? Other than waiting for you to come home?” Your father was a tall man, standing halfway over six foot. His thick dreads touched the small of his back and his salt and pepper beard filled out his face. He was a handsome man still.

“You must be thirsty, _____. Come on in and drink. You’ve caught enough fish to last us a while.” Your mother was a beauty herself. She had a clean shaven head, a strong jawline, and the legs of an Amazon.

They stood tall while you remained short. You didn’t receive the end of the tall gene pool but that didn’t make you any harder to love, even though they joked about your height all the time. The two of them loved you so much.

Your mother, Oolade, wiped your tears away as your father, Uzoma, got the net of fish from the shore. “We shall eat as kings and queens together!” He shouted. “Look at the bounty our daughter has gathered!”

“I am proud of you, my sweet _____.”

“Mother, Father, please, you are embarrassing me!” You laughed. “Kyōjurō would love nothing more than to meet you both.”

“Kyōjurō?” They both questioned in unison.

“Oh.” Your mind went blank a moment. ‘Why did I say that? Kyōjurō? Who-who is that? His name sounds familiar.’

“Never mind that. Come.” You didn’t even think twice as you followed your mother to your quaint house on the shore that your father built by hand. It was just as you remembered.

“Oolade found some wild rice to make with as well. We’re going to have a feast!”

‘What was I even doing before? I must have been daydreaming.’ There was no questioning this surreal feeling as your parents showered you with love and laughter.

Overwhelmed with a sense of unbridled joy, you thought to never leave him.

You blinked. ‘Him?’ You questioned blankly. ‘Who is this him?’

Time had passed but the scenery didn’t change. “Hey, I’m going to step outside for some air.”

“Hurry back so that you may bless the food before we feast.” Your parents’ smiles, even though forever imprinted in your mind, suddenly dulled in comparison to the image of this fiery man.

You took a deep breath and closed your eyes. You slowly opened them and saw an outlined path towards the woods. You instinctively followed it to a rip into another space. You gasped aloud as you caught a young child making their way to this shining orb floating within a bundle of sunflowers.

The child turned to you, frightened and with the needle pointing towards you. They were sweating and shaking with fear.

“What are you doing here?” 

“How did you find me!? You’re not supposed to be able to enter into your own unconsciousness!”

“It’s mine… isn’t it?” You took a step forward.

“_____? _____!” Oolade and Uzoma came running toward the border with sadness filling their eyes. “What are you doing? Come back!”

“_____, don’t leave us!”

You didn’t heed their words, but their voices wretched your heart. “You plan to do something? For what cost?”

“Destroying your core will allow me to sleep peacefully and see my family again!”

“And that’s the best way to go about it?” You ignored their calls as you pressed forward towards the child. “Your good dream will end and so shall you succumb to your pain.” Your eyes softened. “You will die a sad death. To a demon.”

“How do you know how I feel!? You just had a good dream!”

“A bittersweet dream. My parents have long since passed. They no longer live in this world. Even this cannot bring them back forever or give me peace.”

The child backed up until he was just a footstep away from your core. “Come any closer and I’ll do it!” 

You stopped your approach and knelt down, holding your arms out. “Then you choose. Live your life or succumb to an eternal slumber?”

The child had wanted a good dream of his family, to be happy, but when he saw the look on your face, the look of pain and suffering from even getting a glimpse of what life could have been with them spread over your face.

He dropped the needle and ran to you full throttle, crying his heart out as he embraced you tight around your neck.

This was the right thing to do. Even as good as the dream would be, it would hurt all the more to have it taken away.

The faux warmth of the child disappeared and your eyes fluttered open to an ungodly sight that made you want to throw up.

“What the hell!?” You stood on top of flesh. “Intestines!?”

Rengoku flashed past you by one moment and returned the next. “You’re awake, Sunflower!”

“Did the demon become a train!?”

“So it seems, yes! Kamado and Hashibira are going for the neck. Our job—”

“Is to protect the passengers at all costs.”

“Nn! You take care of this cart and I’ll do the other four!”

“Just one?”

“Your safety is of utmost importance! Aid Golden Boy and the Demon girl as needed!” He kissed you quiet before dashing off in a blaze, hushing your protests.

“That man…” you drew your Nichirin blade, “Is so…” your short dash in the cart made easy work of the disgusting, fleshy tendrils, “Annoying!” But you couldn’t argue with his command or logic. He was sound in the midst of danger.

What you did was light work, and by the looks of it, Zenitsu and Nezuko had the other three sorted as Tanjiro and Inosuke ran for the front of the train. You hummed, slightly irritated at your position. You were getting into none of the action, but you knew how fast Rengoku and Zenitsu were moving by the back and forth teetering of the carts.

‘This train could topple at any moment, especially with all of this monstrous bulk. So, there’s no telling when it’ll--’ A shrill filled the air, disorienting you as the train of muscle crumpled up and fell right off the track. If it weren’t for the demon’s flesh and that Demon Slayer footwork, people onboard would have been seriously injured.

You checked those in your assigned cart and then where Zenitsu and Nezuko were. “Are you guys alright?” 

“Mm, mm!” Nezuko nodded as you came over to the slightly slumped Zenitsu.

“Great!” You took him by the shoulders and started shaking him away. “Zenitsu? Zenitsu! Wake up!” He was still asleep, but he only incurred very few injuries as Nezuko had. “At least you two are alright. You really held your own, Nezuko. I’m a little jealous I didn’t get to help out much at all.”

Nezuko, no matter if tired or full of spunk, was just a beauty to look at. You understood why Zenitsu was so smitten with her though he feigned himself a well-groomed ladies man. She offered a soft sound as a response before she leaned up against you. 

Parts of the demon’s body slowly faded from existence, leaving now broken windows with an open view to the outside. Rengoku stood over Tanjiro, instructing him as he laid on the ground. Nezuko picked up her brother’s scent and slowly headed outside. Zenitsu followed her sleepily as you grabbed a few people and exited yourself.

Suddenly, the earth shook and dust flew everywhere as something else landed unto the field. You couldn’t believe your own eyes! The aura spiked high as it circled around the tattoo-marked Upper Moon demon. The shine in those eyes were as hungry, monstrous, and devilish as their appearance.

In the blink of an eye, he was just moments away from striking Tanjiro. “Fire Breathing! Second Form! Rising Scorching Sun!” Rengoku’s quick thinking saved him. “I don’t understand why you’d target a wounded person.”

“I thought he’d just get in the way between you and me.”

You froze. You had never seen a demon so fast like this one. It was just as scary as that time in Asakusa. The aura you ingested made you run on instinct, quelling the thoughts of fear or nervousness. 

This one looked too toxic. You’d be sick for days. Not to mention, this demon only had eyes for Rengoku.

“You and I have something to talk about? It’s our first time meeting and I already hate you.” Rengoku replied.

“Is that so?” Akaza mused. “I really hate weak humans,” in terms of Tanjiro and others, “When I look at weaklings, I just feel disgusted.”

“It looks like you and I have different moral values in regards to things.”

“I see. Then I have a wonderful proposal. How about you become a demon, too?” 

“No chance.” Rengoku declined.

“I know your strength just by looking at you. You’re a pillar, right?” Akaza’s interest in Rengoku shined through his symbolic eyes. “Your battle spirit is quite polished. You’re getting close to Supreme Territory.”

“I am the Fire Hashira, Rengoku Kyōjurō.”

“And I’m Akaza.”

They both exchanged names but withheld their stances. Akaza came to kill and eat any humans as well as convert the strongest ones into those he could. However, no matter the strength, Rengoku was defiant in every sense of the matter when it came to slaying demons and protecting the weak who could not fight for themselves.

But you weren’t out of the clear, however. “Ah, seems like I have a two for one deal.” To your chagrin, the demon noticed you next. “Why don’t you consider becoming a demon, too?” He saw your spirit as well, one with potential of being his punching bag. “As a demon, you can become stronger. That wonderful sword style of yours will keep on improving and we can fight forever! Otherwise, you’ll never reach Supreme Territory and do you know why?”

Silence.

“Because you’re human. Because you’ll grow old. Because you’ll die.” Akaza pointed his finger at Rengoku. “Become a demon, Kyōjurō. You can train for a hundred years. Two hundred years. You can become stronger.”

His face grew dark as he pointed at the likes of everyone in the vicinity, truly disgusted by what he saw before him. Rengoku looked none too pleased with you inserted into the situation. ‘Don’t worry, _____. I will protect you, the children, everyone! Nobody here will die or turn into a demon while I still stand!’ He felt overprotective over you, and found it fit to fulfill his duty not only as a demon slayer, but as a man.

Rengoku couldn’t stand that look of dread and worry filling your eyes. “Growing old and dying is the beauty of the fleeting creature called a human being. Because they grow old. Because they die. They are tremendous. Lovable. What they call ‘strength’ isn’t a word that is used in regards to the body.” He wouldn’t let Akaza spout such untrue words. “This boy isn’t weak. Don’t insult him. I’ll say it over and over again. You and I have different moral values.” His sunset eyes widen menacingly. “No matter what kind of motivation I have, I will not become a demon.”

“I see.” Akaza stanced. “Technique Deployment. Destructive Kill: Compass Needle!” Akaza prepared to fight. “If you won’t become a demon, then I’ll kill you!”

Air waves and flames lit up the area as both Rengoku and Akaza moved at blinding speeds. Pillar versus Upper Moon. You were stuck in place, unable to move. The sudden gravity of the situation skyrocketed and your body froze. Your breath shifted, becoming uneven and quick.

“DON’T MOVE!! If your wounds open, it’ll be fatal! Standby, soldier!!”

Rengoku’s serious voice brought you back, but he demanded no one interfered. Inosoke, who stood at Tanjiro’s side, felt helpless.

It was an explosion of power that erupted, and emerging from the dusty cocoon was an unscathed, healed Akaza and a battered Rengoku. “Kyōjurō…?” His blood-soaked uniform recalled his humanity, his mortality. You were in a state of distress.

Akaza praised him, and employed the idea of becoming a demon, where all his wounds, his crushed eye, and his organs would heal in moments. He’d become stronger, faster, and more powerful than before, but the answer was still no.

Rengoku raised his blade and stared on with a dazzling, one-eyed smile. “I will fulfill my duties! I won’t let anyone die here!”

“You really should become a demon so that we can fight for all eternity!”

“Full Focus Breathing. Flame Breathing. Esoterica. Ninth Style: Purgatory!”

“Technique Deployment. Destructive Kill: Obliteration Style!”

They clashed in one final blow, and the results after the dust cleared terrorized you with your unknown and worst fears.

Akaza punched through Rengoku who held his blade upright. It was but a second before he tightened his grip and slashed at Akaza’s neck which surprised the demon. Rengoku, even as death approached him, remained resilient as he caught Akaza’s other hand, tightened his innards around his arm, and dug his blade further across. As the demon screamed for release, Rengoku screamed for his defeat.

“INOSUKE, MOOOOVE!!! MOVE FOR RENGOKU-SAN!!!”

Tanjiro’s shout broke you from your shock. Opportunity to strike was now or never. At the speed they ran, they wouldn’t reach Akaza as he struggled for release as the sun was due to rise. 

‘Full Focus Breathing. Fire breathing. First form: Unknowing Fire!’

It was a split second decision that made all the difference, and thanks to Inosuke. As Akaza panicked upon seeing Inosuke preparing to jump, Akaza suddenly felt weightless below. ‘What? My legs!’

Inosuke stopped just in time, leaving the final slash to Rengoku who pushed with all of his might and brought his searing blade through Akaza’s neck.

“You sneaky bit— oh no! The sun! I have to go, I have to— AHHHH!!”

Dawn broke over the horizon and Akaza’s body disintegrated.

“Kyōjurō!” You helped him to his knees, seeing the condition that he was in. “You’re hurt. Maybe if we can get you bandaged up, we can—”

“I’m sorry, My Sunflower. My stomach won’t close. I will die very soon.” He turned and addressed Tanjiro. “Kamado, my boy. Let’s have a final chat.”

Tanjiro ran over, huffing as tears stained his cheeks. “Rengoku-san, don’t talk too much! Help will be here soon. Just hold on!”

“Just listen to me. Return to the Rengoku Estate. There should be notes about the ‘Dance of the Fire God’. My father read them  many times. I didn’t read them myself, however, so I don’t know what’s inside them. And for the both of you, tell Senjuro to pursue the path that he thinks is right, as his heart tells him to. And tell my father to take care of his body. And also...” He leaned in. “Kamado, my boy, I believe in your sister. I accept her as a member of the Demon Slayers.”

Droplets of water dripped from Tanjiro’s big eyes.

“I saw that girl protect the humans inside the train despite bleeding out. Those that protect humans and fight demons are Demon Slayers, no matter what anyone else says. Live with your chest high. You, Hashibira, Golden Boy, and her will become great pillars.” His attention finally landed on you.“My Sunflower.” He weakly raised his blood-smeared hand, touching your cheek. “Never give up. I will be watching over you.”

Rivers flowed down your desolate face. “Wait for me over the bridge when I cross. And meet me in the next life.” You found his hands and held them in yours. “I-I l-” Words became lost as you choked on every letter, unable to contain the sadness corrupting your mind and heart.

It hurt him to see you like this, and it devastated him more that he wouldn’t be able to comfort you and grow old together. “My life flashed before my eyes and my most wonderful memories were of you. Your warm smile, your touch, your praises, it makes me more determined than ever to be with you wherever we may go or be.”

The last thing he’d feel was your lips on his, stained with his blood. “I’ll never forget you, Kyōjurō!” You said with as much enthusiasm as you could. “I-I love you!”

Rengoku couldn’t help but to smile. “I love you, too, My Sunflower. Set your heart ablaze. . .”

“And move forward.”

Rengoku peered past you and Tanjiro, spotting a familiar shape. ��Mother?’ You and Tanjiro looked back but saw nothing. But an enveloping aura past you two and surrounded Rengoku. ‘Did I do everything right? Was I able to fulfill everything I was supposed to carry out?’ 

‘You did a wonderful job.’ A smile to him, a smile to her, and his head drooped. His body rested peacefully in your arms and his fiery aura dispersed as it was no more.

‘Kyōjurō!’ You were too choked up as you sobbed loudly and ugly. Your heart ached just like it had when your parents were eaten by demons.

Your world darkened, stained in your tears and his blood. What was this victory worth now that he was gone? 

It was worth every saved life here, and you knew that. It was going to weigh on your heart how you didn’t help him sooner, but his face discouraged you. He took the brunt of Akaza’s assault and held on until the very end.

You mourned over him from that day and weeks later. No one had seen you since the Mugen Train incident. Rengoku had done so much to keep everyone safe, taking his last breath on the battlefield. It had been a hard pill to swallow, one that you had not fully been accepting of even though you were there to see him off.

Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Nezuko missed seeing you around. And especially Senjuro, but you needed to separate yourself and become better. You were no use to anyone lying on your back and crying your eyes out.

With the Nichirin blade in your possession, you carried on silently with a memory of him attached at your hip. His haori? Cleaned, pressed, and framed on the wall. For as long as you lived, his legend would be immortalized. On your shoulders, you carried the burden of loss. Sometimes, it’d hurt so much, your chest would heave and you’d clutch part of your left breast, where the pain ran deep as tears stung your eyes.

You left Senjuro with a kind yet sad smile as you didn’t want to hear the ugly mutterings of his father’s distant, drunk voice. His aura dripped in a drab blue, his melancholy nature surely melting at the loss of not only his wife but now his eldest son.

You hadn’t forgotten about those you loved. You’d be back for them. - - - - - - - - - -  Chapters: I | II | III | IV | V | VI | VII (Part 1) / (Part 2) / (Part 3)

zenitsu agatsuma sfw alphabet

pairing - zenitsu x reader

warnings - none

word count - 1.8k

a/n - i want to beat the shit out of zenitsu while simultaneously giving him a hug.   also zen’s theme song is cariño by the marias no i will not be debating this

(reader is a demon slayer)

a = affection (how affectionate are they? how do they show affection?)

he’s extremely affectionate. he likes physical and verbal affection the most, because he can show it at any time!! he definitely does not give a shit about PDA and will sit in your lap at any and all times

b = best friend (what would they be like as a best friend? how would the friendship start?)

inosuke was actually the first one to meet you first, as he accidentally barreled into you when he ran too fast on a curvy road. when zen saw what happened, he was like “inosuke just ran into someone again and jesus christ they’re cute abort abort”

he definitely got really mad at inosuke as he stood there like 

tanjirou helped you up and zen got mad at him too since that was supposed to be his job; get it together guys

as long as you don’t do anything to embarrass him, he’s very sweet as a friend!! he’ll always bring you little things he found to make you happy

c = cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how would they cuddle?)

he loves cuddles!! even before you started dating, you, tanjirou, nezuko, inosuke, and him would all have cuddle sessions (it was tanjirou’s idea, obviously)

after that, he warmed up to the idea of platonic cuddles!! it made him like cuddles even more when you got together

d = domestic (do they want to settle down? how are they at cooking and cleaning?)

settling down is definitely something he wants!! as much as he likes the other demon slayers, it stresses him out a ton and he’d rather get to have a family with his s/o.

very minor spoilers for the end of the manga for the rest of this letter:

when the main four all moved in together, zenitsu was so fucking excited. he wouldn’t have to worry about getting mauled to death and he gets to live with you? he was bouncing off the walls the entire time everyone was setting up.

e = ending (if they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

i think he’d be the type to want to break up if he thought he was gonna die on a mission. he’d be very solemn and quiet, saying that he didn’t want to hurt his s/o, but if something were to happen to him it would hurt more. (remember how he acted when he saw kaigaku again?)

if it was forced upon him, he’d definitely be a crier. you can barely make out was he’s trying to say because he’s blubbering so much; after he gets it out he’d immediately hug you and sob into your shoulder. :(

f = fiance(e) (how do they feel about commitment? how quick would they want to get married?)

have you seen zenitsu? king wanted to marry that poor girl after 7 minutes tops

when he first started crushing, he would wanted to get married immediately. even if you weren’t together yet, tanjirou + inosuke would have to pull him off because he wouldn’t stop clinging to you.

especially since you’re a demon slayer, after the final arc he’d get a lot more serious about it. obviously he would never lose his personality, but he would finally officially confess (like you didn’t know before DHFJGKBFDHK) and maybe give you some space. 

once you were older and had been together for a few years, every once in a while he’d be like “so uh... s/o..... howwouldyoufeelaboutgettingmarried” and then promptly leaving because poor boy was embarrassed

g = gentle (how gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

zenitsu is pretty gentle physically, but not as much as someone like genya or tanjirou. especially since he’s the type to tackle you into a hug HAHA

he’s very emotionally gentle!! he’s really sweet to you and is really sensitive 

h = hugs (do they like hugs? how often do they do it? what are their hugs like?)

king LOVES hugs. he’s so clingy he’ll randomly jump at you and just. latch on. good luck leaving

when he’s softer, like if one of you gets hurt, he’ll hug you really gently and won’t say anything for a while. he’ll probably sniffle into the crook in your neck a lot. booger haori :(

i = i love you (how fast do they say the L-word?)

immediately. he doesn’t really understand how much it means, but tanjirou probably explains it to him because him and nezuko couldn’t handle the secondhand embarrassment

j = jealousy (how jealous do they get? what do they do when they’re jealous?)

oh god he gets jealous so easily. you can just be waving at inosuke and he’ll start crying 

when he gets jealous, he’ll get even more clingy than normal and will start crying a ton. you’ll have to cuddle him for a while to get it through his head

k = kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss you? where do they like to be kissed?)

he loves kissing you and being kissed everywhere!!! he doesn’t have a favorite place to kiss you, but he loves being kissed on his cheek :^) his kisses are really soft!

l = little ones (how are they around children?)

please for the love of god don’t put him near children

m = morning (how are mornings spent with them?)

he’s not a morning person at all. right when he wake up he immediately snuggles more into you. if you have to get up early for training, he won’t stop whining oh my god

if you bring him tea in the morning he’ll love you forever (he will anyways shh)

n = night (how are nights spent with them?)

it normally takes him a little while to fall asleep. he prefers to cuddle with you though because it helps a bit!! also because he’s touch starved

explained more in z, he moves around a ton. he likes talking about small stuff before bed too, since it distracts him a little.

o = open (when would they start revealing things about themselves? do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

it would take a while. kaigaku isn’t something zen brought up to tanjirou or inosuke, and i don’t recall him mentioning it after the final battle. his grandpa is also a very sensitive subject to him, so his s/o would have to have his complete trust to talk about it.

i think he would reveal things slowly unless you asked him about it more.

p = patience (how easily angered are they?)

with you, it takes a while for him to get mad. even if you embarrass him, he’d mostly get really dramatic and teary. 

if you get hurt, though, he’d definitely get mad at you for putting yourself in that position. losing you is something he doesn’t want to think about

q = quizzes (how much would they remember about you? do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

i think he would take mental notes without even realizing?? like he’d remember the stupidest stuff you said just because he’s so head over heels. chill

r = remember (what is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

zenitsu’s favorite memory was the day he confessed.

it was right after the final battle, and he was physically and emotionally exhausted from the losses. he just kinda went “fuck it” and went to go confess to you!! 

he was really blunt since he was half knocked out on his feet. once you reciprocated, he kinda just. collapsed onto you and giggled really tiredly before passing out LMAOO

he gets embarrassed whenever you bring it up, but it still makes him really happy. 

s = security (how protective are they? how would they protect you? how would they like to be protected?)

i mean... it depends? when he passes out during a fight, he subconsciously gets really protective. when he’s awake, however, he’d rather be protected HAHA

seeing you fight to protect him is his favorite!! it makes him feel really safe (despite being two seconds away from getting clawed in the face)

t = try (how much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

u = ugly (what would be some bad habits of theirs?)

he moves very fast in the relationship. he still has that underlying fear of dying at any time so.. “fuck it i should marry s/o”

until he gets through that, you and the others will probably have to help him. he’s stronger than he realizes and while being cautious is good as a demon slayer, his paranoia is only stressing him out further :(

also he picks his nose

v = vanity (how concerned are they with their looks?)

not very much? when he first started crushing on you, he was checking to make sure his haori was straight and his hair wasn’t messed up and his shirt was tucked in and and and

but after he started dating you, he let up a little bit as he got more comfortable.

w = whole (would they feel incomplete without you?)

honestly? yeah. zenitsu is dramatic as hell and won’t hesitate to tell you that he would die instantly if something happened to you FBHDJGFH

x = xtra (a random headcanon for them.)

he really likes the smell of flowers, so if you ever wore deodorant/cologne/perfume that smelled like daisies or some shit he would follow you the entire day

y = yuck (what are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

he would really want you to like his friends, and if you didn’t, he’d be so sad. they’re the people he respects the most, so to hear you don’t like him would hurt a little bit.

he’d also like someone who didn’t tease him much, just because he’s a little sensitive.

also he is absolutely horrified of bugs

z = zzz (what are some sleep habits of theirs?)

whether you fell asleep touching or not, you will always wake up to zenitsu clinging to you. especially if you get up before him, he won’t even realize he does it unless you bring it up

he’s an active sleeper!! i’m so sorry if you’re a light sleeper because he won’t stop fucking moving. he also talks a lot in his sleep, and more often than not will snore lightly. 

sometimes, though, after a long mission, he’ll just hold you while mumbling some slurred “love you, s/o” and then passes out instantly. on those nights, he won’t move at all or make any noise.

falling for you

kamado tanjiro x reader

training turned tension starters, “...do we always end up on top of each other?”

summary: the two times you fall onto him, and the one time he falls onto you.

word count: 1,800+

warnings: minor injuries, fighting demons, just a tiny bit of suggestiveness mainly just fluff tho :)

a/n: i enjoyed writing this *so much* holy shit

• ﹒•  °  ˚ ° ⋆ ✧ ✧ ✧ ⋆ ° ˚  ° •﹒ •

The first time you “fell for him” was during the Final Selection.

Dusk was settling over the forest fast, and you were snoring away in a dreamless sleep. You were currently high up in one of the trees laying on a branch with your back to the trunk, your Nichirin blade laying across your lap. 

This had quickly become a routine for you; regain your energy by sleeping during the day, and slay the demons in the forest at night. But the exhaustion must have finally settled in, and you haven’t woken up yet despite the setting sun. 

On the forest floor, a young demon slayer with a hanafuda earrings was already awake and alert, prepared for the night to come. As the wind shifted direction, his nose caught the scent of... someone new? Under the first layer of dirt and dried blood (an expected combination that he had become familiar with), he caught the faint scent of cherry blossoms and something that vaguely reminded him of warmth. 

Tanjiro closed his eyes in concentration as he tried to pinpoint the owner. With a little "oh!”, he found himself looking up towards the tree tops where he caught a glimpse of you sitting on a branch. 

“Ah, that makes sense.” he said with a smile. With all of the other demon slayers scattered around the forest, it had been a little while since he had come in contact with another person. 

Should he try to get your attention? Night was quickly approaching and it would be immoral for him to just leave you there vunerable.... and it didn’t look like you were going to wake up any time soon with how deep in sleep you were.

“Umm.. Excuse me?” He cupped his hands and tried to call up. 

Not even a peep from you. You snored away, blissfully unaware. Tanjiro tried again, this time a little louder. “Hello?” 

A twitch of the leg. Hey, at least he was getting somewhere!

And finally, after one last “HELLO???” you jerked awake with a loud gasp, sitting upright with too much momentum. Tanjiro’s eyes widened as he saw you lose your balance and not-so-gracefully tumble out of the tree. 

You yelped in fear, preparing to hit the ground before you were caught in someone’s sturdy arms. But nothing could have prepared Tanjiro for the impact, and you both crashed to the ground, which was still better than falling straight to the ground out of a tree.

“Ouch...” You rubbed your head a little before you realized that you were currently interlaced with someone else. Your eyes met with gentle dark red ones and at last you said, “Oh my god! I am so so sorry--” as you helped him up. 

The demon slayer laughed brightly as he took your hand. 

"It’s no problem! Really, it was my fault for surprising you in the first place.” He commented with a nonchalant smile. He looked really handsome when he did that, especially in the last few rays of light before nightfall.

 You smiled back with a light blush on your face. “Nah, it’s okay. I’m [Name], it’s nice to meet you!” you introduced. 

“Nice to meet you, [Name],” he said brightly. “My name is Kamado Tanjiro. Want to stick together until we’re out of this forest?”

-- -- --

The second time you “fell for him” was on Natagumo Mountain, against the Spider Family. 

After the Final Selection a few months back, you and Tanjiro accompanied each other through every mission. You actually got along really well with him, and his kind-hearted nature let you two bond together seamlessly. 

Along the way, you got to meet with his sister Nezuko, who (after you got over the initial shock of) you discovered was very sweet and filled with curiosity. Zenitsu was a real oddball at first, begging you to marry him and later clinging to you at the Drum House. But, like with most people, he grew on you after some time, and you enjoyed teasing him about his loneliness (to which he would playfully hit you with his sleeves and halfheartedly cry in denial). Inosuke on the other hand... was an interesting thing. Some days, he would quietly absorb your praise as he processed your kindness to him, and other days he would yell at you to fight him so that he could confirm his strength. 

This little group of weirdo’s that you’ve somehow been wrapped up in has found its way into your heart, and you wouldn’t trade them for the world. Yes, you valued your friendship with them, but you couldn’t help feeling that what you had with Tanjiro was... different. 

The four of you (and Nezuko) were currently deep in the Natagumo forest, clashing swords with the puppet Mizunotos. 

As your blade met a puppet’s with a sharp clang, you gritted your teeth and called out to Tanjiro, “There’s a few more over here! How do they just keep coming--” 

Before you could finish your sentence, you hardly realized that the tiny spiders had connected their threads to your arms and shoulders, and you were pulled up into the trees, wrists tied together. 

Tanjiro whipped around when he heard your cry and the sound of your sword falling. 

“[Name]!” He gasped, abandoning his current fight with a different puppet. Your arm was being pulled into a brutal position and tears welled up in your eyes as you cried out in pain. 

His body moved before he could even process it, and before he knew it, he had slashed the threads holding you in place, dropping you both to the ground. With a crash that was all to similar to the first time you met, this time you found yourself on top of him while he looked up at you concerned.

 “Shit, [Name] are you okay?” He asked worriedly. You brushed the tears from your eyes as you quickly nodded and confirmed, “..Yeah, I’m alright. Thank you, Tanjiro. That could have gotten really nasty.” 

“Of course.. but will you be able to fight with that arm?” His eyes scanned you for any more injuries. You gave him a reassuring smile. “It was my non-dominant arm. They’ll have to try a lot harder to get me!” 

Tanjiro let out a breath of relief that he didn’t know he was holding. 

“Thank goodness. You’re really important to me.” His eyes widened before he stuttered out, “I-I mean, what I was trying to say was--” 

It was only then that he realized that you were still on top of him, and a blush steadily grew onto his face as he froze. He could feel the warmth of your body through your uniform, and as a fleeting thought, he concluded that he really enjoyed your scent this close up--

“HEY! QUIT YOUR YAPPING!” Inosuke interrupted, as he charged towards you both with the intention of head-butting you both. 

“eep!”

-- -- --

For the third and (hopefully) final time, it was actually Tanjiro that fell for you. 

All of you guys had been staying at the Butterfly Estate under the care of Shinobu and the other kind girls. You came out of the Natagumo attack with relatively light injuries, except for your arm, which you later found out had small fractures in it that needed a few weeks to fully heal, and a shoulder strain. But Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke had it the worst, with a large handful of concerning injuries spread between all of them. 

Even as your arm recovered, you still stayed at the Mansion to partake in the daily training exercises and practicing Total Concentration: Constant. Tanjiro was the one working the hardest to master this, and to your bewilderment, he even went out on the rooftop while everyone was asleep to fully immerse himself. 

You rubbed the sleep from your eyes as you glanced around the room, realizing that Tanjiro’s bed was empty.

‘Is he out meditating again?’ you wondered. 

 Inosuke laid on your left side sprawled out in a star-fish fashion, his boar’s head still on his shoulders even in sleep. A few beds over, Zenitsu was curled up in the fetal position while he snored remarkably loud.

 ‘One of these nights I’m going to smother him with a pillow--’ you thought while you slid your legs out of bed and shuffled over to the door, shivering at the cold ground. 

Just as you thought, Tanjiro was sitting on the rooftop, eyes closed, sit in a criss-cross fashion to keep himself upright. You sighed as you carefully climbed up to sit beside him, gently coaxing him out of his meditation with the soft calling of his name. 

‘--anjiro. Tanjiro..?’ He opened his eyes to see you already looking at him, with pink dusted over your cheeks. You hoped that your blush could be passed off as an indication of the cold air. Definitely not my feelings for Tanjiro, nope. 

Your lips quirked up, making his heat beat a just a tad bit faster at the sight. “Sorry to bother you,” You tucked some hair behind your ear. “I got a little curious when I saw that you weren’t in your bed.” 

“Don’t worry about it! It’s a little chilly out, so lets go back inside.” He stood up and reached his roughened hand out for you to steady yourself onto. Once he felt your softer hand in his, the butterflies in his stomach that he was trying so hard to brush off erupted, and he couldn’t fight the beaming of his smile. 

And once you saw him smile, you knew it was over for you too.

As you both made your way down from the roof, Tanjiro’s hand slipped from yours as he lost footing with a yelp. 

“T-Tanjiro!” You reacted as quick as you could, your practiced reflexes jumping into action as you caught him before he could hit the ground. You dove into a roll so that you didn’t hurt him, and ended up with his legs tangled in yours. 

This time the roles were switched as you held him in your arms, both of you sharing the same wide-eyed expression. Tanjiro was the first one to snap out of it, asking “..Do we always end up on top of each other?” with a soft smile. 

You quickly stood up with him and began your stuttering apology before he cut you off.

“What are you--” Tanjiro gently shushed you by pulling you by the waist and pressing his lips against yours. Your whole body froze up as you realized that Tanjiro was kissing you.

He broke the kiss after a second and immediately gasped, letting out a hurried “I’m so sorry-- I should have asked you first!” He closed his eyes and prepared to face the backlash. 

But he faced none as he was only met with the feeling of soft lips against his own.

 Once he understood that you were okay with it (more than okay with it), he smiled against your lips and pressed your warm body into his. In return, your hands found their way around his neck and into the curls of his dark red hair.

Feral boar time! I made him aged-up if you don't mind.

“Hold you, hurt you, love you, need you, love you, wrestle you down to the ground. Bite you, love you, hold you. I wanna kiss you.” - I Wanna Kiss You [Paula Cole]

You wouldn’t say that you were afraid of Inosuke, but you were afraid of him. He was simply too unpredictable, too chaotic, and too insensitive. Obviously, you couldn’t really blame his upbringing. He was raised by the boars, after all. It’d be understandable if he didn’t know much about manners or tact, or how to treat a lady properly. There were only so many things Tanjiro and Zenitsu could teach him – or drilled into his head – if he remained stubborn with his old ways.

And everything just got worse ever since he dated you.

… Well, not really. It was more like… he forced you to date him. You doubted what he felt for you was ‘love’, either.

As expected from a feral child, Inosuke was possessive and aggressive as a lover. Anyone who so much as looked at you would earn a growl from him, and you didn’t want to remember the number of times he almost punched every guy that talked to you had his friends weren’t there to restrain him. The two boys, and Oyakata, were probably the only people he allowed you to speak to. And even then, he forbade you from spending too much time with them, especially Zenitsu.

Little by little, Inosuke became the only person you could interact with.

His intense personality and restricting ‘rules’ eventually wore you down. You were stressed, physically, and mentally. Tanjiro had tried to comfort you, and even Nezuko had made a flower crown in an attempt to cheer you up, but none of them worked.

It’d never work unless Inosuke was gone from your life – from this world. However, knowing his fighting skills, you doubted anyone would want to dispose of him so easily.

It was the reason why you were unable to fight and train to your fullest. And it was also the reason for your downfall.

No longer did you fight to survive from demons. Instead, you fought to survive from his rage now.

And no, not the combat type. You were fully aware of the gap between your skills, as much as you hated to admit it. Rather, you stayed compliant. It was the cheapest and most humiliating tactic you ever did in your entire life, but anything was better than enduring his accidental abuse.

Though, sometimes, you wondered if he purposefully hit you. It wasn’t as if he knew how to be gentle, anyway.

But it seemed that life desired to make you suffer even more, because these past few days, you’d caught him staring at your lips for more than once.

You didn’t want to think about those lingering glances, because although you’d never dated anyone before, you knew what it meant – knew what it could possibly lead to.

And you didn’t want to.

You didn’t want to give your first kiss to someone who had taken advantage of your near-death experience to lock you up in an abandoned cabin. You didn’t want to satisfy his curiosity over the taste of your lips. You didn’t want him to touch you more than a long, bone-crushing hug.

However, there was only so much you could do to prolong the inevitable.

“[Name], what is a kiss?”

You almost choked on your spit at his abrupt question. No, not this…! You weren’t ready to hear whatever he was about to say.

“It’s… it’s…” you stammered, cheeks flushing slightly as you racked your brain. What was the right answer that could both sate and deter him? “It’s an act of… pressing one’s lips… to another.”

“What?!” He reeled back, pure distaste contorted his pretty features. It wasn’t a response that you didn’t expect, but you welcomed nonetheless. “That’s disgusting! Why would anyone want to do that anyway?!”

Yes, it’ll be more disgusting if I have to do it with you, you said mentally.

Silence ensued. You shifted a little on your spot, trying to predict his next move. Should you excuse yourself to somewhere else? Should you stay inside? Inosuke looked like he was contemplating something, and you weren’t sure if it was a good thing or not.

“… Can I try it?”

It felt like something had knocked the air out of your lungs. Gaping, you stayed immobile as if hoping he’d forget that you were there. Inosuke was peering at you now, long eyelashes occasionally caressed his pink cheeks. He was embarrassed yet curious. Oh, God…!

“N-no, of course not.” Blinking owlishly, his expression slowly turned sour. Oh, no. Now you’d done it; you made him angry. That… that wasn’t good. You needed to escape if you wanted to retain your sanity and dignity.

But he was fast, and you weren’t even able to stand up before he pushed you to your back, uncaring of your squeak and groan. Firm hands gripped your wrists as pale green eyes bore down to your trembling ones, fierce yet bashful.

“You dare to disobey Inosuke-sama's order?!” he yelled to your sweating visage. 

“N-no! Let me go, Inosuke!” You tried to wriggle and even head-butt him, but it was futile. His skull was thicker, and he was just too strong. “I don’t want to kiss you and I never will!”

Inosuke fell silent. You thought he finally came to his sense and release you, but you were terribly wrong.

A squeak went muffled against your mashed lips as he crashed his teeth against yours. Gradient blue hair tickled your face and pricked your stinging eyes. The tears that you’d tried so hard to contain trickled through your lashes and dripped on to the floorboard; one of the many tears you’d shed later.

After seconds that passed by too long, Inosuke withdrew slightly. He was huffing and panting, the blush had deepened into scarlet that covered nearly his entire visage. Despite being flustered by his own brazen action, he seemed satisfied. Euphoric, even. You didn’t want to see that smug expression any longer, so you closed your eyes and prayed he’d be gone by the time you opened them.

“Heh, that was quite surprising. Who would’ve thought something so disgusting could end up being so sweet?”

You didn’t know, and you weren’t sure if you wanted to know. Maybe you’d feel it when that beloved someone kissed you; the delight, the pleasure, everything sweet that he wouldn’t be able to put into words.

But it was too late for that, wasn’t it?

It might sound pessimistic, but you truly thought you couldn’t be free. Not now, not ever. And unless someone finally took an initiative to save you, Inosuke would always keep you with him.

That was the only conclusion you could gather as he grinned down at you, his pearly white teeth bared and eyes dilated in a barely restrained joy. He was terrifying, then again, when has he didn’t look at you like he wanted to devour you whole?

“Again! Give me more kisses until I’m satisfied!”

Offering chocolates to their crush on White Day | Headcanons

gender neutral

-> I know the White Day didn’t exist back then, but let’s say it did. And I know it’s girls who are supposed to give those chocolates, but I change the rules however I want 😗✌🏻.

-> Inosuke Hashibira, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Muichiro Tokito, Sanemi Shinazugawa.

Inosuke Hashibira

His crush on you was known by all his friends, and obviously, they pushed him to do something for the White Day. Actually, Tanjiro explained to him what it was and why it was important for several hours, and Zenitsu trained him to give you the chocolates.

‘’It’s not like you’re going to give some to someone anyway !’’ Inosuke would say. ‘’I planned on giving them to Nezuko-chan !’’ Zenitsu would reply. But those words change once the big day arrived.

‘’Stop eating that much ! Imagine smelling like rice once you talk to (Y/N) ! You’ll ruin everything !’’ The blond shouted. ‘’Why do you even care ?! I’m going to give them chocolates, not you ! I’ll smell whatever I want !’’

Obviously when you showed up, Inosuke put back on his mask and awkwardly walked to you. ‘’Hi, Inosuke ?’’ You really weren’t expecting him to give you chocolates until he bowed a bit, extending the box towards you. You curiously picked it up.

Once you realized it was a box of chocolates, you gasped, happy. ‘’Inosuke, you didn’t have to ! Thank you, cthat’s so cute !’’ He was happy he was wearing his mask, cause he couldn’t have been blushing more .

Unfortunately, you convinced him to take it off, after he had eventually calmed down. You giggled and kissed his cheek. ‘’Thank you ! I’m proud of you !’’ You said, referring to how he was becoming more social and blending in with the others.

And actually, he blushed even more than when he gave you the chocolates -if that was even possible. After that, he froze before putting back on his mask and running back to the boys. ‘’Did you see that ?!’’ he kept asking them.

‘’You did well, Inosuke !’’ Tanjiro said. ‘’I’m so jealous he managed to do it and not me !’’ Zenitsu whined. ‘’UH ?! NO WAY YOU FORCED ME TO DO IT WHILE YOU DON’T !’’ The boar boy yelled, pushing his friend to Nezuko. He was sure going to take his revenge.

Zenitsu Agatsuma

On one hand, Zenitsu had been preparing the White Day for weeks, as he had even planned on baking the chocolates himself. On the other hand, he really wasn’t ready for it cause he was scared of the humiliation.

‘’Please, Tanjiro ! You can’t force me to go ! What if they don’t like me and don’t accept them ?! I’ll look like an idiot ! And everyone will know !’’ he would whine all day long. ‘’Even if it’s as a friend, (Y/N) will take them, Zenitsu. Don’t worry.’’ He would reply.

However, after a whole hour of the blond complaining, it got on Inosuke’s nerves and he started yelling, catching your attention. You stopped in your tracks once you heard them, but you expected them to explain what was happening eventually.

What you didn’t expect to happen was for Inosuke to show up, pushing Zenitsu and yelling at him. ‘’What’s going on ?’’ You asked. ‘’He has something to give you but he keeps whining and crying about it ! I hate it ! Take him !’’ The boar boy shouted at you.

That said, he left, leaving you and Zenitsu alone. ‘’... So, what is it that you have to give me ?’’ You asked, as he still had his eyes closed and was bowing. He finally extended the box towards you. ‘’Chocolates for you, for the White Day !’’ You arched an eyebrow.

He looked so scared, but you didn’t know what to do. You took the box and opened it. ‘’Thank you.’’ You said, crouching down to be at his height since he was still bowing and seemed stuck in that position. ‘’I baked them myself !’’ He admitted.

‘’Really ?!’’ You asked, immediately tasting one. ‘’They’re delicious, Zenitsu ! Thank you !’’ You said, making him finally open his eyes and standing back up. ‘’Really ?’’, ‘’Yeah !’’. He blinked a few times before you kissed his cheek, running away to show off.

His eyes widened at the sudden kiss, and once he realized what had just happened, the blond just yelled like a maniac, hyperventilating. ‘’See ?! It wasn’t that complicated.’’ Inosuke said, grumpy. But Tanjiro was proud, patting his friend’s back.

Muichiro Tokito

It took time for Muichiro to realize he liked you, and he didn’t even notice it himself ; it was obviously the love pillar who had to figure it out for him. But once he did realize he liked you, he was lost. What could he do about it ?

As he was the youngest pillar, some of the others, like Uzui, Mitsuri, Kyojuro, Shinobu and Gyomei, offered their help to make him confess. But the idea he liked the most was to offer you chocolates at the White Day.

‘’I’m going to bake chocolates for (Y/N). Maybe they won’t realize it’s because I like them, but at least they’ll know that I care for them.’’ Muichiro said after a meeting, making Mitsuri really happy, as it was her idea to begin with.

For weeks, Muichiro tried many different chocolate recipes. He knew you were fond of (fruit), so he wanted to associate it with the chocolate. He finally found the perfect recipe two days before the actual White Day, making Mitsuri and Shinobu particularly proud.

‘’They’re here !’’ Shinobu said. ‘’You should go !’’ Mitsuri added, at the sight of you. Muichiro didn’t question it and was brave enough to directly walk to you, and it seemed like he wasn’t stressed at all. ‘’Hi, (L/N).’’ He said. ‘’Oh, hi !’’ You replied, happy that he showed you some sympathy despite being so usually cold.

‘’I baked you chocolates for the White Day. You can refuse them.’’ He didn’t look done, but you had already taken the box, opening it to taste a chocolate. ‘’They’re so good ! Is that (fruit) in it ?’’ Muichiro blinked a few times before smiling at you.

‘’Yes, I knew it was your favorite fruit. Do you like them ?’’ He asked. ‘’Yeah, yeah ! Thank you ! I can’t believe you even spent time to bake them for me, that’s so cute !’’ You kept thanking him, not noticing most of the pillars watching you both from afar.

You ended up kissing Muichiro’s cheek, and even if he widened his eyes and felt his cheeks getting warmer and warmer, he didn’t walk away. Thus, you offered him to stay with you and share the chocolates he had baked. ‘’Ah, youth !’’ Kyojuro exclaimed.

Sanemi Shinazugawa

I know it’s always the same GIF but we really don’t have much choice for the pillars for the moment dkdls....

If there was one thing that was annoying Sanemi, it clearly was any type of love celebration. He couldn’t stand all those lovey dovey couples all over the place and everyone reminding him that he hadn’t confessed to anyone yet. Especially not you.

Despite the fact that it was quite obvious for everyone that he liked you, Sanemi never asked for any advice nor help to confess to you ; it’s like he hadn’t had planned to even tell you in his lifetime.

But obviously, there were other people attracted to you, and it was annoying the hell out of him. That’s why, knowing the White Day was coming, Sanemi walked to Mitsuri, seriously. ‘’Tell me how to confess to (Y/N) for the White Day.’’ he ordered her.

Despite his tone, Mitsuri was actually really pleased to help ; and she thought you and Sanemi would’ve been a great couple, and just as cute as all the others that would annoy the boy each year at White Day. That’s why the first thing she told him to do was to get you chocolates.

‘’But many people like them, they’re gonna give them chocolates too. I don’t want to offer them the same ones.’’ He said. ‘’Then bake some ! I know how to ! I’ll show you ! I know they like dark chocolate especially !’’ The girl replied, excited.

It took Sanemi many days to finally like the chocolates he had baked -but Mitsuri didn’t care how long it took, she enjoyed eating whatever he didn’t want to give you. And finally, the big day arrived. The moment he saw you, he ran over, to be sure to be the first one to give you anything.

‘’Shinazugawa ?’’ You asked, surprised to have seen him run to you. ‘’I....’’ he actually struggled to tell you what was going on, but you never ceased to wait for his answer. ‘’I baked chocolates for you !’’ He finally managed to spit, as fast as he could.

‘’Wow, you even baked them ?! Thank you ! I never thought you would give me chocolates !’’ You immediately opened the box to have a taste ; they were delicious. ‘’Well, it wasn’t-’’ Sanemi didn’t have time to give any explanation nor random excuse since you decided to give him a kiss on the cheek. Maybe all those lovey dovey couples weren’t that annoying after all.

I FINALLY WROTE SOMETHING YEAAAAY!!!!

[kimetsu-no-yaiba-writings]

ops on how the manga for demon slayer ended

Honestly? To put it lightly Anon, I’m still incredibly disappointed with it T口T it felt incredibly rushed and it just really, really disappointed me.. Like, ok I’m just gonna list something's for why I hated it,

[WARNING! AUTHOR RANTING]

What was the point with the Blue spider lilies? I would have liked more on that especially since it felt like it could have become a mini subplot or even part of the main plot!

What I mean by this is that either the demon Slayers find the lily and then it becomes an all out battle, it gives Muzan more of a reason to fight and would have made it more interesting! OR that Muzan found the blue spider lily himself, uses it meaning he can now walk in sunlight. This would make the demon slayers more desperate to kill him - plus the “Oh fuck” feeling would be more powerful

It felt like everybody that had died prior to the fight didn’t have any meaning - plus everyone was just being killed off - it felt like their deaths weren’t worthy? IT WASN’T NESSARY! IT DIDNT ADD ANYTHING TO THE PLOT OTHER THAN DISAPPOINMENT AND SADNESS

Muzan’s fight was absolutely shit and I can’t even remember it, thats how bad it was in my opinion, the only thing that was cool about it was when his hair turned white and then when he took over Tanjirou - it felt so underwhelming, Muzan was meant to be the Demon above all other demons and he was beaten far to quickly 

Carrying on with the Tanjirou- Muzan demon form, that was cool and I felt like more should have been done with it or it shouldn’t have been introduced at all 

THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH DONE WITH DEMON TANJIRO!! Like here are two endings in mind with demon tajirou that I have, ENDING 1] Inosuke and Zenitsu have to deliver the final blow, killing him, it would have built more upon their character and would have been a more heart-wrentching ending as the rest of the living cast have to live with what they had to do. ENDING 2] Demon Tanjirou kills everybody and were left with an open ending for the manga - we could have had a really cool ending page with demon tanjirou giving us a muzan smile in Modern-day Tokyo 

Mitsuri and Obanai telling each others feelings as they die - sure this was to make it even sadder but to me just felt awful to do, like one of the most shipped couples and you only make them almost canon as their dying? Really??

I hate the descendants so much

High-school AU thingy that was done between chapters would have actually made a way better ending - Like everybody had been reincarnated into modern times and where of practical equal age, the entire manga could have been a dream sequence that Modern day Tanjirou was remembering of his past - there was a very good comic that dealt with this which I can’t find unfortunately but basically everybody remembered their past but where now happy in modern society 

Here’s a link to a post about the High-school AU with all the collected character bits for it - it has my opinion on the end since it was a reblog

[mysaldate]

hii! in honour of valentine's day, can you please give me some pick up lines the demons/demon slayers would say✌🥺 have a good day btww!

I’m terribly sorry for getting to you this late! There’s a lot of characters and as you all know, I was on a bit of an unwilling hiatus lately. Hopefully, I will be able to make up for the wait with this. Some of them will have more than one pick up line, some of them will even have serious ones since I felt like it would be better that way than to just meme my way through.

Demons and Demon Slayers Pick up Lines

Demons

Muzan: Not only would I kill for you but I would die for you all the same.Or: Do you prefer men or women? I just want to know how to boost my chances with you.

Gyokko: Something’s fishy – you’re not dating me yet!Or: Wanna hold hands? I’ve got six of them!

Kaigaku: (before we get to him, here, have my exact thought process)

Kaigaku: You thought your first kiss would be Zenitsu but it was I, Kaigaku!Or: I’m gonna eat your peaches like no one has before.

Enmu: I’d like to drive my train in your station tonight.Or: Let’s see... This is like a dream for me. To die by your hand in person. And I so enjoyed hearing the other demons’ last gasps! I feel so blessed! Because I love to see others in despair and agony. Because it’s like a dream come true for me. I thank you for leaving me for last! (that was a pick-up line and you cannot convince me otherwise)

Yahaba: If you don’t come to me on your own, I can simply make you, you know?

Swamp demon: We’re a package deal of everything you may ever need – the voice of reason, the voice of emotion and the voice that will break your enemies’ eardrums.

Hand demon: Ever heard of kitsune udon? Would you like me to make some for you?

Temple demon: I ain’t no saint but damn do I pray you’re single!

Tamayo: Eternity is a curse but by your side, I wouldn’t mind staying cursed forever.Or: If I weren’t already obsessed with ruining the life of another person, you would be on top of my list.
