#nothing serious..

[l4vend3r-hcs-x]

KNY Headcanon // Tengen was in on the plan:

This is a rough draft for what is going to be a chapter in my KNY Oc insert rewrite called "Have we met before?" to be released... uhhhh EVENTUALLY. This chapter will be called "Nothing Serious" and IS cannon deviant. (slightly)

Another rouge chapter has been released elsewhere on this blog (It's the only other post so far) but I'll link it HERE if you wanna read it; It's a Sanemi // Giyu central one (platonic or romantic to be honest I really do not care what way you look at it x)

DISCLAIMER: Major spoilers for The new season of KNY (Hashira training arc) x

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I Personally think there is no way that Tengen did not know about this plan. To ask him to guard Nezuko wouldn't be something he would have to think twice about - Nezuko and the master both saved him in their own ways at some point in his life, and this was the least he could do to repay the pair of them. But only after he agrees to this is it that he finds out why the master is changing her location so suddenly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Soooo... how come you two called me over so suddenly?" Tengen mused, leaving his satchel at the door as he entered the master's room.

"Nothing too serious..." Ubuyashiki broke off, coughing slightly as Amane readjusted him

"You okay?" Tengen cooed over his shoulder to the master, his wife moving the sheets about him.

"Just a little parched is all," He laughed gently "Pass us some tea would you, Tengen?"

"'Couse, 'Gaya." He smiled warmly as he poured the green liquid into a cup "You want one Amane?"

"Yes, actually. Thank you!" she smiled as Uzui handed her and her husband their drinks

"Don't worry 'bout it." he stopped to take a sip of the tea "This is good! Where'd you get it from?"

"Local venders just down the way actually! Very lovely folks." Kagaya nodded in agreement with his wife, a comfortable silence filling the room.

"So what's the real reason you brought me here, guys..." Tengen softly urged them with a swish of his hand "I know what you're up to with this. If you need a favour, you've only gotta ask...?"

Amane looked to her husband who, feeling her gaze upon him, squeezed her hand as signal to continue.

"There is something we need from you, Tengen." She firmly spoke, shifting the mood of the room to a more formal one as Tengen readjusted his position as he nodded for her to continue

"We plan to adjust Nezuko Kamado's location within the next coming days, and we were wondering if-"

"-I'd take her to my estate?" Tengen finished her sentence

Amane looked surprised Tengen had guessed what they’d need of him? Although she really shouldn’t have been.

“Yeah, ‘course we’ll take her!” He laughed "Not to sound like a snob or anything- but uh... which estate are we talkin' about? Kyoto, the one near here, the one Rei is teaching her course in, the one in Sagamihara-"

"That on. That one will do - Sagamihara, I mean. It's far enough from here, without being too strenuous of a journey"

"Whew!" he whistled "I thought there was gonna be something actually worrying you had to tell me... - But no yeah of course we'll take her! The girls just love her - we’ve gone to see her a few times since this whole thing began.”

“Thank you, Tengen.” The master smiled warmly to his friend, but he opened his mouth hesitantly and Tengen’s face dropped almost immediately, knowing what that look meant.

“Oh god- what’s the catch?” He grimaced, leaning slightly back from where he was sat

"Well, I wouldn't say there's a-" he broke off feeling Tengen's bemused gaze upon him "-Alright yes there's a catch."

Amane continued in his place "You accepting to take Nezuko would also mean you would be taking in one of her carers; former water pillar, Urokodaki-"

"What, Sakonji?! Tengen beamed "Hell yeah he can come with her - he's fantastic company! The mask's a little freaky though, don't you think? -" he levelled with them, swishing a palm facing down hand horizontally before them

"As well as one other person who I do not think you will be too pleased to hear about.."

"What?" Tengen paused, a half hearted laugh escaping him "Tanjiro? I'm- more than happy to have him there too..."

"Tengen...I think you know who I'm rereferring to."

He lowered his tone to a more displeased one, sneering "I'm afraid I don't. mind telling me who?"

He sighed heartily "We need you to also bring Shinjuro Ren-"

"-Absolutely not."

For the first time in his life, Tengen refused the master. It felt wrong, but that request was something he just couldn't fulfil. Tengen has no desire for that man to still be alive, let alone in his immediate vicinity.

"Tengen..."

"Kagaya. You know why I can't do that. You know why. I can't leave Senjuro at my mansion by himself - he'd have to come too and - I really don't want him near the kids, Rei included. I told you what happened when they came to me. I am not putting my-" he paused to clasp his nose bridge "I am not putting those kids in danger..." He averted his angered gaze, frustrated he let that slip

"Tengen, please." Kagaya begged "We need him on site. He, besides Sakonji and yourself, is the only other retired pillar still in action."

"What about the Thunder Hashira? I thought he was still-"

"He won't be able to accompany you." Amane lowered her head as she uttered this, a mournful look on her face "He- died last week... committed suicide.."

"...My god. That's awful... Is there any reason why?"

"One of his students betrayed the corps and became a demon. Specifically a ranked member of the Kizuki." Kagaya spluttered, blood coming to his lips. Tengen mused for a moment, sure that there was something he hadn't considered - Then it hit.

"W-wait. You don't think that he'll-"

"Give way information? Yes actually - I do. That is why we are moving Nezuko in the first place."

"Alright... Wait did this traitor know where the mansion was??" Tengen then began to worry, what would this mean for the master? Muzan could find him-

"We believe so - yes."

"W-what...?" He gasped, raising a hand to tussle his hair anxiously "What're you gonna do?!"

"Stay put." Kagaya shrugged

"Haha.. very funny 'Gaya." Tengen spat "What are you actually gonna-"

"-Stay put. I have no intention of leaving the estate."

Tengen's face became void of colour, heartrate spiking - there was not a hint of insincerity in his tone, not a waver in his expression. He was completely serious??

"What...?" he looked to the master's left at his wife, only to see she was mirroring his expression "Amane. can't you talk come sense into him??"

"Tengen, I'm staying here as well.."

He stumbled back from where he was seated, his evident horror almost wracking his body

"The girls.. what're you- you're planning on leaving them on their own?? The five of them aren't going to be able to keep themselves safe without their parents.."

"Three."

"Fine then the three- wait the three of them? What do you-- no. Kagaya you can't mean-"

Amane's lip quivered slightly "Hinaki and Nichika want to stay. The others are going to - if you'll allow it - accompany you to your estate. You're the only one we trust to look after them given the circumstances-"

"-Master.." a low voice rattled the shoji screens "He is on his way. You can expect him within the next few minutes."

"Thank you, Hiroto.." Amane led her husband's hands to the crow's head as Tengen began firing out a barrage of questions

"Wait wait wait." he put a hand up to his head as he began anxiously pacing the room "Why is it that you want to make the move so suddenly -I mean I understand that there's a sense of urgency to it, but why??" he turned to face the master, waiting the answer he evidently deserved

"We have reason to believe that..." Ubuyashiki hacked up a cough that wracked his frail body "To believe that Muzan is going to infiltrate the estate within the coming week. I had a premonition regarding it yesterday evening, and thus, you were summoned."

"Nothing to serious, huh?" He scoffed "NOTHING SERIOUS? KAGAYA YOU'LL DIE-" he sharply recomposed himself, kneeling before them and taking one of their hands in is, clasping it against the bandaged part of what was left of his arm "You will die if you stay here. Muzan will waste no time rushing in here to kill you if he knows where you are. Do not go out like this, and don't take your girls down with you.."

"Tengen, I don't have long left. We have all known this for months now. We also know Muzan is coming, and we have a plan. We are going to plant explosives under the engawa, and lace them with wisteria from mount Fujikasane - it's the strongest toxicant we have. Once he get's close- we fire it. Crows will have been sent to the Hashira to let them to the estate in time. We-"

Tengen slid his hand away from theirs, tears coming down his face "Don't to this. Please."

"This isn't our choice, Tengen.. It's simply what has to happen. If we want this creature stopped, then we are going to have to do whatever it takes to see our goals fulfilled-" but he was cut off as Tengen drew them close and wrapped his arms around the two of them

"And there's nothing I can do to change your minds..?" he smiled bleakly, salted water dripping to their shoulders

"I'm afraid not, my dear confidant. Not this time.."

"So this is it, huh..?"

"... Yes, Tengen-" his breath hitched "This is our final goodbye.."

The aforementioned rose again, eye welling with tears yet to be shed

"Does anyone else know..?"

"As of this moment, no. However, Gyomei is on his way here now. He will be the only other person besides yourself who ever will.." Amane wiped his eye with a quiet smile.

"Please do not tell the others. They'll only try to stop us from executing the plan, and I wish to limit the burden of secrecy to as few as possible - apologies you made the cut" he laughed half-heartedly

"Of course 'Gaya." Tengen nodded, pulling himself to his feet and heading for the door as Kagaya uttered "Farewell, my friend.."

"Tengen-" Amane piped up "One more thing.."

"Yeah? - oh."

He looked down to see Amane had thrown her arms around him and was clasping him as though he were the only thing keeping her tethered to the earth.

"I always forget how good of a grip you-"

"Thank you. For everything. I am eternally in your debt."

"Amane, it's literally the least I can do after all you've given me and my wives. I will take care of your girls, I swear it."

"Master- he is outside." Hiroto nodded toward the entrance of the estate where the cumbrous stone hashira was being hauled in by two poor Kakushi, rousing a tittering from the the hoary-haired people in the room.

A few moments of silence ensued before Tengen bowed deeply, uttering with a sight tightness "I'll see you at our next meeting. good evening, my masters.." as he rose to slide the shoji door open, he was met with a rather concerned Gyomei, peering down at a Tengen who was clearly crying based on the smiling sob released.

"Are you alright, Tengen?"

"All good, Mei."

"If you say so.." he raised a brow sceptically

Tengen slapped a hand up on Gyomei's shoulder as he brushed past him "Tell Genya I said hi.." he simpered up at his comrade

"Tell your wives I do the same, and for Senjuro too - it's been too long since I last spoke with the lad.."

"He's looking more and more like Kyo every day, I wish you could see it.." he pondered the phenomena sentimentally for a moment before snapping up and strutting off back to his estate; he had to ready his wives for the impromptu travelling the morning would bring

"G'night, Mei.." Tengen saluted as he navigated his way out of that papery labyrinth

"And may a quiet eventide await you as well."

Tengen heard the door open again, followed closely by Gyomei's gravely sound of "Good evening, masters.."

"Good evening, stone hashira." they replied in unison

"What was it you wished to discuss with me?"

"Nothing serious, Gyomei. Nothing serious.."

OKAY IF YOU GOT THIS FAR I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!! IF YOU'VE GOT ANY TIP OR CREATIVE CRITISCISM FEEL FREE TO LEAVE IT IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!! XX

[urfriendlywriter]

specific tropes in romance that always heal something in me that it never broke

like, forehead kisses, soft love confessions, peppering kisses all over the lover's face. promises that are kept, hands those are held with a gentle love, and hugs that engulf the heart too.

or when they rest their head on your chest, or lean on you for support.

"your tears kill me," kinda thing. or when a sunshine character finally cries and bawls their entire life's hurt out into their comfort grumpy character (plus point, if the grump feels guilty thinking if they had done something to trigger this emotional outburst)

communication. no matter hard the topic is, how big your differences are.

listening to the other person yap

admiring their facial features and seeing not just the outer structure but the person that they really are.

them getting angry on ur behalf

cradling each other in hugs basically

feeling emotional walls break when you're with that one person particularly

gentle communication. yearning to do more for your lover (!!!!)

affectionate smiles and eyes crinkling with a smile that's directed specially at you.

finding their laugh contagious.

the feeling of being accepted, despite flaws and all

silent domestic acts like being in the kitchen together, dressing up together, them drying ur hair while u sit between their legs

occasionally stolen kisses

or one deep kiss that just lights your world and fulfills your soul and heart.

sleepily nuzzling into each other!!

reaching for each other despite being asleep, with mumbled endearments and whispers of need!!!

laughter coming easily by their side, like happiness is just another day to day thing (this can also be about self love. when u truly love urself and prioritize your own rights and cherish the fact that you're you. happiness becomes beautiful even in solitude)

their fingers buried deep in yo- OOPS.?! :)

♡ Forgotten dates...

a/n: idk I just think panicked shoto would be so cute <3

word count: 2.0k

synopsis: you and shoto had a date planned for today, you guys were gonna go out and get ice cream and go to the park. you got all dolled up and waited for him to come pick you up, but as more and more time passed, you started to realize that he had forgotten. now he has to make it up to you.

pairing: shoto todoroki x gn!reader

genre: slight hurt/comfort, fluff at the end, nothing too serious <3

warnings: not proofread and rushed LMAO

you looked in the mirror while you fixed your appearance. you were going on a date with your boyfriend, shoto, and you were so excited. even though you had been on plenty of dates, it always made you happy to spend time with him.

nothing too fancy was happening today, you two were going to get icecream at the local parlor and take a walk around the park. you were going to stuff some cards and a sketchbook in your bag just in case you guys needed something to do after a while. 

it was 3:55pm, shoto was supposed to come get you at 4. you quickly slipped on your shoes and glanced one more time in the mirror before running downstairs. 

unbeknownst to you, shoto was currently asleep. 

he had a rather intense training day today and decided he would rest his eyes for a couple of minutes, but that couple of minutes had turn into hours and, well…

you sat on the couch that was near the window, scrolling on you phone and occasionally looking up to see if you could see shoto, feeing excited and giddy for your guys' date. 

4:02, alright, that's fine. not too bad at all, two minutes late isn't bad at all. you looked back at your phone, seeing if shoto had texted you that he might be late, but he hadn't texted you since this morning.

4:08, okay… now it's weird for him to not have texted you. if he was going to be this late this needs a little warning, it's been almost 10 minutes since was supposed to pick you up, suspicious… you opened your phone once more and opened shoto's contact, texting him quickly. 

y/n: hey, are you almost here yet?? 

(sent)

you waited patiently for it to show that shoto had read your text, but you were left on delivered for the next few minutes. 

you decided to go wait outside, you could see him if he was walking down the street that way. but you walked all the way out to the sidewalk and saw… nothing.

y/n: shotoooo, where are you??

the vibrations of shoto's phone weren't enough to wake him, still sleeping peacefully in his bed back home.

4:15, okay, are you allowed to be mad now? i think you were allowed to be mad now. 

y/n: heyy what's going on? where are u? you were supposed to get me 15 mins agoo

once it hit 4:20, you quickly opened your best friend, mina's, contact and called her. it took her less than 5 seconds to answer and you sighed in relief that at least one person would acknowledge you today.

"hey y/n~! what's up? you usually text me before you call me." mina sounded cheerful on the other end, a small bit of concern lacing her words. 

you started to walk into the direction of her house, doing you best to not look angry to passerby. "mina, shoto forgot about our date and he's ignoring me!" you sounded exasperated. "can i come over? i worked hard to look good today, i'm not letting that go to waste."

mina gasped dramatically on the other end, sounds of her shuffling and moving around coming through the speaker on your phone. "getting ready now, i'll meet you halfway!" she quickly hung up the phone, and you laughed at her urgency.

you shoved your phone in your pocket, trying your best to not let this ruin your day. at least you got to hang out with mina, right?

shoto better have a good explanation for this. 

mina kept her word, and while walking to her house you saw her pink form frantically running towards you in the distance. when she finally got close, she gasped dramatically once more. "you look so cute!! i can't believe shoto would miss out on the chance to see this!" she crossed her arms and frowned. 

you smiled at her, adjusting your clothes. "thank you, mina."

she stomped her foot on the ground, arms still crossed. "how are you being so calm?! you should be so mad at him! look at how cute you are, and he's just ignoring you!" she wrapped her arm around yours and started to lead you to her house. "don't you worry, y/n, we're gonna have so much fun!"

mina didn't tell you this, but as she was walking towards you she was spamming shoto with angry messages. 

mina: SHOTO TODOROKI!! explain yourself right now >:( mina: how DARE you flake off my best friend!!! next time i see you you're getting it!!! mina: i'm gonna go steal ur girl since u can't treat her right >:( mina: I SEE HER SHE LOOKS SO CUTE. HOW COULD U ABANDON HER LIKE THIS????

she might have overreacted, maybe.

shoto woke up during mina's spam, half awake and turning his phone on silent from all the notifications and laid his head down.

then, icy fear struck his heart. he immediately sat up, wide awake now.

he opened his phone to look at the time, almost scared to look.

4:38.

he cursed under his breath, quickly getting out of his bed and changing out of his sweaty clothes, trying to look at his phone as he did so.

6 unread messages.

he saw your texts asking where you were, and pangs of guilt hit him in the gut.

he saw mina spamming him with angry messages, and assumed you had told her and that you were with her right now, he had to hurry up.

he ran down the stairs, his hair still a mess from sleep. his sister fuyumi greeted him, but he quickly ran past her, slipped on his shoes, and ran out the door.

he looked at his location on your phone, he saw you were a couple blocks away and walking in the opposite direction of his house, that must be where mina lives. he quickly took note of what street you were on and started running.

he opened your contact and called you, doing his best to run as fast as he could while still being able to hold the phone to his ear.

you felt your phone vibrate in your pocket, quickly reaching into it with your free arm that wasn't linked with mina's and looked at who was calling.

mina looked over your shoulder and snatched your phone out of your hand, shoving it into her own pocket. "nuh-uh! he doesn't get to be 40 minutes late and then steal you from me, you're mine now!" she pouted, squeezing your arm tightly.

"well, maybe he has a good reason-"

"nope!" she pointed her finger at you. "he ignored you, now you ignore him for a little bit to get back at him! then you can talk to him."

you sighed, shaking your head. "and you wonder why you're single." you mumbled under your breath.

mina gasped, holding her hand to her heart. "how could you say such a thing!" she asked, feigning offense.

shoto sighed as the call went to voicemail, putting his phone in his back pocket as he ran towards the street you were on. he couldn't blame you for ignoring him, but he wanted to explain himself to you sooner rather than later.

you didn't live that far away from him, so even though you were walking to mina's house you weren't terribly far away from him. he could make it there in just a couple minutes if he ran fast enough.

guilt was making its way into your gut since you ignored shoto's call, but every time you reached for your phone mina smacked your hand away and insisted that you ignore him back since he ignored you first.

you were almost at mina's house, you could see it in the distance, but then you heard fast footsteps running towards you both.

you instinctively turned around and stood in front of mina to shield her, but you were immediately taken aback by shoto running towards you.

your eyes widened, and he finally reached you he bent over, resting his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. did he run all the way here from his house?

you observed his appearance, his hair was disheveled and his outfit was haphazardly put together, he was sweaty and out of breath. he looked like a mess, not typical for shoto.

mina peeked from over your shoulder, gasping and taking a step around you. "shoto todoroki!! you better have a good explanation for this, i was just about to hang out with her!! you ignore her, and now you come and steal her right as i get her?" she crossed her arms and pouted. 

you smiled and put a hand on mina's shoulder. "girl, it's okay."

"y/n-" shoto said breathlessly, finally standing up as he caught his breath. you looked into his eyes, and all you could see was remorse and guilt. "-i'm so sorry, really." he took a deep breath. "i was training earlier, and i decided to rest my eyes for a little, and i was asleep for longer than i anticipated, i'm sorry for being so late." 

you sighed, a small smile appearing on your face. you were happy that he wasn't ignoring you intentionally, and that he wasn't playing hooky on purpose, but you still felt a little upset.

shoto took your hands in his and ran his thumbs across your knuckles. "i'm very sorry," he looked into your eyes. "would you still like to go out?"

you squeezed his hands lightly, nodding. "yes, of course." you moved your hands away from his, looking over at mina. "sorry, we can plan for tomorrow?" you laughed lightly. 

mina crossed her arms again, more playfully this time. "sure, go off with your boyfriend, just abandon me-" she laughed. "go have fun!!"

she waved at you, then looked at shoto and gave him a death stare. "if you do this again, i'm stealing her." she quickly changed her demeanor and waved at you again. "bye-bye!" and walked off.

you giggled at her actions, you loved your best friend. 

you looked at shoto, seeing his disheveled hair and reaching up to smoothen it out. "did you even look in the mirror before you left?" you smiled. 

"no, i saw the time and had to get to you as soon as possible to apologise." his lips curved upward as you smoothed his hair. "would you still like ice cream?"

once you flattened out his disheveled hair, you stood on your toes to kiss him on the cheek. you then held his hand and squeezed it gently. "well, of course!" 

shoto smiled at your happy demeanor now, happy that he didn't just ruin your whole day. "let's go."

you all peacefully walked to the ice cream parlor, you got your favorite flavor and shoto got plain vanilla. you convinced him to make it a little more fun by adding sprinkles, then stole a bite. 

after you all were done, you walked to the park and traveled down the winding and weaving paths, admiring flowers and occasional birds that passed by. there was a bench that was perfectly in the shade of a large tree nearby and you both decided to sit there.

you sat in comfortable silence for a while, leaning your head on his shoulder as you looked at the scenery around you. 

"i'm still sorry for being late." shoto spoke, squeezing your hand for a moment. he felt terrible.

"it's not your fault," you squeezed his hand in return, reassuringly. "maybe next time you could just set an alarm." you giggled.

he smiled, nodding in agreement. "i will." he kissed the top of your head. "i love you, y/n." 

you moved your head to look at him, a subtle blush covering your cheeks. he didn't take those words lightly, you knew every time he said them he absolutely meant them. "i love you too, sho."

does anyone else think about Spike and Giles looking at each other and seeing a personification of the most despised and vulnerable aspects of their own past or is it just me

[littlenastieswewhispered]

“buffy ended the show single :)” ok but only because her current love interest just DIED!! (he near quite literally died in her arms! in sacrifice for her!) her last words of the entire series were telling him she loves him and then saying his name in admiration. she isn’t single; she’s a widow.
