IM BACK IN BUSINESS BABY-
I’ll be caught up in no time
— This do have tickles below the cut ngl—
TAGS: @giggly-squiggily @chrimsss @myreygn @rachi-roo
Stupid, stupid move…. Tanjiro should’ve known better than to take advice from Mr. Uzui. Now, he knows that it sounds bad, but you have to trust him. Tengen may be a legendary demon slayer, but he’s also an idiot… A big idiot who has idiotic ideas.
Currently, Tanjiro was stepping on eggshells around the butterfly mansion, trying impossibly hard to keep quiet and hidden.
What had he done?
Well, Tengen had woken up to see that his headband was missing, courtesy of Kyojuro. So, the sound pillar instructed Tanjiro with-
“Young Kamado.” The flame user’s voice boomed down a corridor.
Busted.
“You have something of mine.”
Panic rose in the young slayer as his eyes widened fearfully. Realistically, Rengoku would not harm a hair on his head, but the thought of what might happen if he was caught? Ooh, it sent shivers down the boy’s spine.
“Whaaaat? What do you mean, Mr. Rengoku?” Tanjiro feigned innocence.
“Oh? Surely you aren’t lying to me, my boy. We both know that it spells disaster…” the older male inquired.
“Psshhh, why would I lie? I don’t have anything to hide.”
“Oh yeah?” He stood with an amused smile, eyebrows cocked upward in confusion. “Is that so?”
“M-Mhm!”
“So if I were to check your pockets, I would f-“
The water user suddenly turned his head toward the nearest wall. “What’s that Mr. Uzui? You need me urgently? Oh- He turned to the hashira. “Well, duty calls haha!”
As luck would have it, Tengen appeared right next to Kyojuro, stuffing his hand into the hashira’s haori pocket. When it was retrieved, the flame pillar’s eyes slowly flicked between the two tricksters. “So, Young Kamado…” A smile graced his lips, “I would suggest you get a head start…”
“A head st- oh.” Within an instant, Tanjiro was sprinting around the mansion, sliding around corners and nearly face planting every time he did so.
The two hashira looked at each other, an unspoken code. Shortly after, Rengoku and Tengen split into two different directions. “Here comes the tickle monster!!” The flame pillar chirped.
A nervous squeak elicited from the boy’s lips. He smacked his hands over his mouth and prayed that he was not heard.
Pairs of feet passed his hiding spot multiple times… his plan was working. His fingers brushed over the stolen item in his pocket, and it made him wonder if this was all worth it?
Suddenly, the cupboard door was slammed open, causing the young slayer to yelp and lose his balance. A pair of arms kept him from hitting the floor, placing him safely on his bottom.
“What the hell did you do to piss off both Tengen and Rengoku?”
Tanjiro looked into the eyes of his savior—Sanemi— and sighed, showing him the item. “It wasn’t my idea!” he defended.
Suddenly, Rengoku appeared at the other end of the hallway.
“If you give me your tempura tonight at dinner, I’ll distract him.” Sanemi bartered.
“What?! No way!” Tanjiro whined, not thinking of his current situation.
“Suit yourself…” he cupped his hands and- “HEY, KYO! CAUGHT THE LITTLE BRAT!”
With saucer-widened eyes, the young slayer scrambled to his feet, running as fast as he could. He squeezed his eyes shut as his feet pounded against the hardwood.
He was home free, finally!
That is, until he ran into something and fell flat on his butt.
Before the water user could register, he was being scooped by his ankles and thrown over Tengen’s shoulder, being held up by his hips shortly after. He screeched as his arms came up to protect his torso.
“Aha! We caught you now, Young Kamado! Time to face the wrath of a robbed tickle monster.” The flame hashira smiled evilly as he wiggled his fingers above the boy’s torso.
“Nohohoho! Ihihihi dihihihidnt- Eep! Nohohoho!”
“I haven’t even touched you! Giggly little thing, aren’t you?”
Tanjiro’s face flushed as he giggled helplessly. He closed his eyes and hoped the threat would pass; after all, if you can’t see it, it can’t get you.
To his dismay, the threatening fingers descended onto his tummy and showed no mercy.
“Hyeheheahaha! Nohohohoho! Ihihihi dihihidnt-“
“Where is it, Tanjiro? This will all be over if you give me what’s mine!”
“Ihihi- eheheheahahaha! ihihi wohohohont tehehehell! Mihihihisteheher Uhuhuhzuihihi tohohohold mehehe tohohoho!”
“Ohhh? Mr Uzui did?” Another wordless look invited Tengen to join the fun.
Tanjiro squealed and kicked as he felt the sound pillar squeezing at his hips.
“AGH! CMOHOHOHON! NAHAHAT FAHAHAHAIR!”
“You know how to make this end!” The flame pillar cooed as he snaked his fingers up to wiggle under the boy’s arms.
The water user squirmed in Tengen’s hold as his laughter increased. “MIHIHIHISTER REHEHENGOHOHOKUKU! IHIHIHI- AYEHEHE!”
“What’s that? Where did you put it?”
“IHIHIHI- HYEAHAHAHA! IHIHIHI DOHOHONT- PFFAHEHEHE!”
“I don’t think I speak that language. Have you been studying something new with Gyomei?”
After that comment, Tanjiro was at his breaking point. Sorry, Mr Uzui, but he had made his best effort. “OKAHAHAHAY! OKAHAHHAY! IHIHIHILL TEHEHELL!! STAHAHAHAP!”
The tickling ceased, and a panting Tanjiro slid down onto the floor. Rengoku giggled a bit as he gently rubbed the boy’s shoulder. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by a jingling sound.
Ah, finally.
Tanjiro had reached into his pocket and was holding up the object of the hour: a small bracelet made for him by Nezuko.
“Thaaaaank you, Young Kamado,” he chirped.
“I don’t get the big hubbub about it,” the boy noted, “It’s just a bracelet my sister made.”
“And that’s precisely why it’s so special! Handmade gifts are just as important as purchased ones.” Rengoku smiled fondly as he slid the beaded bracelet onto his wrist. “Plus, I think it makes me look handsome.”
“Whatever helps you sleep at night…”
“Oh? Was that some sass that I just heard, Kyo?” Tengen’s voice cut in.
“I do believe it was, Tengen.”
Tanjiro’s eyes widened.
Uh oh…

Tickletober Day 3: Cuddles
Summary: While cuddling together in bed, Tanjiro makes an unusual request, but Genya is more than happy to oblige.
Word Count: 1,677
Tumblr media
Tanjiro had always been verbal about his needs. Ever since they started dating, he never hesitated to ask to hug or kiss or whatever else. Genya knew it was more for his sake than Tanjiro's, because as long as this had been going on for, it never failed to fluster him, turning him into a blushing mess, as he stuttered out a weak yes. 
It was normal. It was expected. He knew this stuff never embarrassed Tanjiro, so he shouldn't have been so surprised at his most recent request, as unusual as it was.
They were cuddling, relaxing together in bed after a stressful day of missions. Genya laid against the bed, practically pinned by Tanjiro's weight, as he laid more on Genya than the bed, arms wrapped tightly around Genya's waist, who, after he stopped feeling like his heart was about to beat out of his chest, had settled for carding his fingers in Tanjiro's hair, toying with the silky strands.
It was in this moment of peace that Genya's heart once again sped up, a frown tugging on his lips, as Tanjiro asked, "Genya?"
"Mhm?"
"Can you tickle me?"
He paused, furrowed his eyebrows, stopping to mull over Tanjiro's words and be sure he had heard him right. 
Tickling? That wasn't something Tanjiro had ever asked for before. Genya hadn't even known he was ticklish—it had never crossed his mind until now.
Still unsure, he coughed, clearing his throat, then croaked out a stupefied, "What?"
Tanjiro looked up at him, his piercing red eyes met Genya's, a stare always filled with so much affection it made Genya breathless every time. "Can you tickle me?" he repeated again, as if Genya had simply misheard him, which he still wasn't sure he hadn't, despite now hearing the strange request a second time.
He swallowed. Blinked. Nodded. "Okay," Genya answered with a half-shrug, or as close to it as he could get with Tanjiro lying on him. It didn't make sense why Tanjiro would want someone, let alone Genya, to tickle him, but he didn't see the harm in it.
There were even some pleasant memories from his own childhood that he could vaguely recall, remembering tickle fights with his brothers and sisters. Of course, Sanemi was always the winner.
He was drawn out of his thoughts when Tanjiro shifted, sitting up to lay himself next to Genya, making him frown at the loss of warmth. Hesitantly, Genya sat up too, shuffling so that he was kneeling on the bed, awkwardly hovering over Tanjiro. 
That all too familiar blush once again spread over his face as he fiddled with his fingers, unable to meet Tanjiro's eyes anymore, stuttering, "Um… what—what do you want… uh, want me to do?"
Tanjiro tilted his head to the side, seeming almost as confused as Genya when he said, questionably,  "Tickle me?"
Biting back a groan, Genya nodded his head, a flicker of annoyance mixing with his embarrassment. Yeah. He got that. It was pretty clear what Tanjiro wanted by now, for whatever reason. But he didn't know… there were so many things he didn't know.
Hissing out a sigh, he quelled his racing thoughts and settled on a simple question, "Where?"
Tanjiro's eyes widened, and suddenly, he appeared, for the first time, a little embarrassed, but his smile grew, looking at his partner in an oddly reassuring manner. "Anywhere is fine. I'm pretty ticklish everywhere."
Genya nodded again, taking a breath to prepare himself, before slowly reaching down to squeeze Tanjiro's sides.
His smile grew, a quiet giggle bursting forth that made Genya's heart swell, spurring him on. He continued gently tweaking his sides, gradually adding more force until he heard a steady stream of giggles and felt Tanjiro's legs lightly kicking beside him.
The scene was oddly endearing. His hands were balled into fists, clenching the bedsheets at his sides, allowing him to remain remarkably still in face of his ticklish assault. The giggles pouring out from him were soft and sweet, quiet, breathy puffs of air that Genya never wanted to stop hearing. Unless it was to kiss his even softer, always irresistible, lips that Genya couldn't stop staring at.
He wasn't brave enough to ask, but Tanjiro must have felt the same, because he shot his arms up, hooking them around Genya's to pull him forward. 
Genya barely caught himself from falling in time, and then almost fell again when he registered their position, his arms going limp like jelly. His knees were on either side of Tanjiro's legs, his body hovering over Tanjiro's, practically straddling him, if not for his arms on either side of Tanjiro's head keeping him up.
Oh God. His face must've been as red as a tomato. He could barely think, barely register anything besides his proximity to Tanjiro, how warm his body was, how badly he wanted him, and how he couldn't tell if it was his or Tanjiro's heart beating so fast it was the only thing he could hear.
Until Tanjiro wrapped his arms around his neck, craning his head closer, so he could whisper in his ear, "Can I kiss you?"
Genya, who was quite sure he was on the verge of passing out, could only bob his head in a weak nod and lean into Tanjiro, melting into the kiss. He felt like a puddle.
By the time he pulled back, Genya was breathless and dizzy. It took a few moments for him to regain himself, before he sat up as much as he could with Tanjiro still clinging to him. 
"Um, want me to… keep going?" he finally managed. 
Eagerly nodding, Tanjiro beamed at him, humming in affirmation. 
The position was slightly uncomfortable for Genya and infinitely nerve-wracking, but he could hardly complain when he was this close to Tanjiro, so he didn't waste any more time.
Clumsily, he wriggled his fingers against Tanjiro's stomach, making him squeak and laugh, a warm and loving noise that made heat bloom in Genya's chest. Tweaking his ribs brought back those breathy giggles Genya adored. Prodding at his armpits produced a surprisingly loud squeal, making Genya laugh as Tanjiro's grip tightened around him.
Throughout it, Genya couldn't help himself. With a sudden burst of confidence, he'd lean closer, stumbling over the question until Tanjiro could finally manage a yehehes in between his laughter, and they kissed. Again and again, so much that Genya thought he felt as giddy and breathless as Tanjiro did.
"Can… can I—"
"Yes," he gasped between breaths, as Genya had taken pity on him, giving him a short break.
He placed a chaste kiss to cheek, and after a moment, glided his fingers along Tanjiro's neck in light, barely grazing motions that were utterly unbearable. 
Tanjiro made a noise resembling a whine, leaning his head against Genya's shoulder in an ineffective attempt to shield himself. When it proved futile, he leaned back, twisting and shimmying, before finally leaning back and taking it when he realized there was no escaping Genya's devious fingers.
"Cute," Genya mumbled unconsciously, blushing furiously when he realized he'd said it out loud.
His blush grew at Tanjiro's widening smile and the tilt of his head, wordlessly asking for another kiss that Genya readily supplied. 
This time, he kept kissing him. Still skittering his hand across his neck, Genya trailed a line of kisses against his jaw, flustering both of them beyond belief. He didn't know why he was suddenly more confident, but he supposed it was spurred on by seeing Tanjiro like… this. All giggly and bubbly and even cuter than he thought, and it was all because of Genya.
It was special, getting to experience this with him. And he had to show his appreciation somehow.
Besides, there was something he remembered clearly from his childhood—Sanemi's killer move, the one that always guaranteed him a victory. 
Tanjiro practically shrieked as Genya leaned down, blowing a raspberry right on his neck. His laughter shot up an octave, and he desperately squirmed underneath him, as Genya unleashed a second and third.
"Gehehenyaha!" he squealed, somehow clinging even tighter to him.
He took that as a signal Tanjiro had finally had enough and stopped, pulling back slightly. Tanjiro gasped for air, still laughing even after it ended. 
Genya once again fidgeted with his hands, unsure of what to do now. He couldn't move away, because Tanjiro was still holding him, and he didn't know what was expected of him now, so he just stared at him, patiently waiting for some sort of instructions or something.
Finally, Tanjiro released him, and Genya shifted, flopping down beside him on the bed, suddenly aware of how hot his face was as he replayed the events of everything that had just happened in his head.
Turning towards him, Tanjiro pulled him into a hug and, with permission, planted a kiss on his forehead with a satisfied hum. 
"Thank you."
"...For?"
He paused, seeming to consider his answer before shrugging. "I think it's fun. And I was tired; I wanted something to help me relax."
"You know," Tanjiro smiled, almost looking skittish once again.
"Why, uh, did you.. want me to… do—do that?"
"And that… helped?"
"Yeah, you did."
"So I…" Genya took a deep breath, fumbling over his words. "I, uh… did it… right?"
"I don't think there's a wrong way to do it, but I had fun. It was—" a sullen look flashed over his face, "—just like old times."
"Old times…?"
"With my family. Whenever they needed to be cheered up, or were being a little too annoying, I'd tickle them. And Nezuko would lead a charge against me whenever she thought I was working too hard," he said, laughing quietly.
"I think… my family did too. We used to have tickle fights. I… I always won, unless it was against Sanemi. I never beat him."
It was quiet for a moment of reflective, somber silence, before Genya yelped at a sudden poke to his side.
"You're ticklish?" Tanjiro asked, an eager glint in his eyes.
Shit.

tkltober day 13: Sneak Attack
Demon Slayer - ler!Kanao, lee!Tanjiro
¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸¸¸♫·¯·♪¸¸♩·¯·♬¸¸
The leaves didnʼt even rustle when she crouched down in the bushes to examine her target. He wasnʼt expecting anything yet and as long as the wind didnʼt decide to suddenly change direction and carry her scent over to him, sheʼd be fine.
Tanjiro likes you, that was what Shinobu had told her, and Why donʼt you try and get a little closer to him, that was the following question that had kicked off this mission in the first place.
Kanao watched as Tanjiro sat down on the grass to relax. Getting closer to someone was easier said than done, but luckily, she had learned a fool-proof method from Aoi. And given the information she had collected about Tanjiro so far, it would definitely work on him.
Six meters, five, four, three and a half. Her plan was clear; get close enough, then attack from above. Kanao examined the distance. Good.
By the time Tanjiro noticed that there was something coming, she had already jumped and was inches away from tackling him.
“WUAAAH- Kanao!”
She made herself comfortable on top of him and smiled down on him. She had obviously spooked him and they had tumbled a significant distance through the grass, she had to make sure he was alright. “Are you hurt?” And not mad at her. “I’m sorry if I scared you.”
“No no, I, uh, I’m good.” He looked up at her, his initial shock being replaced by pure confusion. “Uh… what are you doing?”
Right, the mission. Her voice shook ever so slightly when she answered - please, please let this work, please let him still like me after this. “I’m trying something new.”
“What do you meHEAN!” Tanjiro stared up at her with wide eyes, his mouth stretched into a wide smile and the laughter pouring out seemingly not under his control and his arms immediately came up to try and protect himself. “GEAHAHAHAHHH WHAHAHAHAT AHAHAHARE YOHOHOU- AHAHAHAHAH, KAHAHAHANAO!”
Oopsie, coming in a little strong. Kanao moved her scribbling fingers away from his tummy and went searching for a less ticklish spot. Aoi had told her that receiving tickles could become very exhausting very quickly and she didn’t want to power Tanjiro out so quickly, she wanted him to have fun too. Squeezing his sides didn’t seem to feel quite as ticklish to him, so she remained there and looked for any sign of discomfort on his face. Nothing, but checking in wouldn’t hurt. “Is this okay?”
“Whahat? Ihi- I mehehean I guehehehess- ihihihit tihihickles!”
“It’s supposed to.” Kanao felt a sort of relief wash over her. He was not suffering at least, that was good. It would be even better if he was really enjoying himself, which she was determined to achieve. “Please tell me immediately if this isn’t fun for you.”
Tanjiro seemed confused even through his giggles for a second, then her fingers found his ribs and a fresh wave of cackles distracted him enough to make all expressions unreadable. “Aeahahaha, Kahanahahao! Nahahat thehe- GAHAHAHAD, NAHAHAHT THEHE SPAHAHAHACES BETWEAHAHAHA!”
The anxiety flaring up inside Kanao’s chest nearly made her take her hands of, but then Tanjiro looked at her and even though his eyes were glistening, there was a twinkle in them which she had seen plenty of times before, when he was fooling around with his friends, when they served him his favorite food and when Nezuko came out of her box; he was happy. He was having fun. She had done it!
“If you insist.”
The shriek Tanjiro let out when she began to tickle his tummy again had to be loudest Kanao had ever heard him. Bravely, she slipped a single finger into his belly button.
“AIEEEEEE- KAHAHAHANAO, NOHOHOOOO! STAHAHAHAHAP, PLEHEHEHEASE, TOHOO MUHUHUHUCH! I CAHAHAHAHAN’T!” Tanjiro’s hand hit the ground and Kanao immediately stopped tickling him, quickly climbing off of him and handing him some water she had brought after he managed to sit up. She fiddled with her skirt as she watched him recover. The anxious feeling was back and she used the time he needed to catch his breath to muster up the courage to speak.
“Did I overdo it?”
“What?” Tanjiro looked at her. “No, not at all. You stopped when I told you to. You respected my limit, that’s the opposite of overdoing it.”
Kanao let out a sigh in relief. What a rollercoaster of emotions this was.
“Don’t worry about it, we’re good.” He tilted his head. “But why did you do it? That came out of nowhere.”
“Shinobu said you liked me. I want us to be friends and I thought… you always seem to have fun when your other friends do this with you.”
The surprise on Tanjiro’s face quickly melted away, transforming into a smile so warm it made Kanao’s heart dance. He carefully took her hand and squeezed it softly. “We are friends, Kanao. I’m happy you felt comfortable enough to do this with me, thank you. I had a lot of fun.”
“You really did?”
“Yes, I did.” Tanjiro chuckled. “Just give me a warning next time, okay?”
The warmth spreading in Kanao’s chest was a warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time. “Okay.”

If fic requests are open can I request lee muichiro and ler tanjiro for muichiro bring rude to the other demon slayers ☺️
Have a good day ☺️
Massage Madness
A/N: :o OMG HELLO THERE!! I live love laugh for Muichiro being a mindless jerk, I absolutely loved writing this!
"Are you sure you want to do this?" The cowardly electric blonde questioned, "from what I heard, his been pretty.. mean." His expression transferred into a worried one, eyes gazing up as the red head, Tanjiro, placed a reassuring hand against his friend's shoulder, a calm, collected smile easing his worries slightly, "I promise you, Zenitsu, I'll be okay!" He chuckled slightly as the other simply huffed slightly, "Just look after Inosuke and Nezuko for me, you're in charge!" He waved off, Zenitsu straightening himself as he took on his duty.
Moments of aimlessly strolling around later, he heard the angered cries of the wind pillar, sneaking over to listen to the conversation.
"You little brat, I'm going to kill you!" Barked Sanemi, fists clenched so hard that he could almost pierce his own skin, eye's darting all over the smaller male. "I don't care who you are, but shut up, your voice annoys me." Scoffed the mist pillar, arm's crossing as he walked off, making Sanemi storm off soon after, almost leaving trails of smoke in the ground from how angry he was just than. "I see what Zenitsu means now.." sighed Tanjiro, before heading over and meeting himself to the front door of Muichiro's estate. Wearily, he knocked, hearing a muffled 'come in' come from Muichiro, so, easily, he walked in, sliding the door shut behind him, his expression dropping as he saw Muichiro sitting down infront of him, his back turned. "May I?" Asked Tanjiro, soft spoken for right now. As he earned a hum of approval, he smiled cheerily and sat beside him, giving him reassuring silence as the other slowly opened up, it seemed that he was just mostly stressed, I mean, who could blame him? He was a high rank, so he is expected to work twice, not, three time's harder at most, seeing the male just speak out his heart made him realize just how tensed up he really was, his back looked all knotted behind his haori, and his hands have been blistered after the many recent fights his had, poor guy.
"Muichiro-sama, this is only an offer, but.. would you like me to at least massage your back? I'm not the best at it but, I can assure you I'll do my best to help you relax!" Merrily cheered the red head, his smile contagious as Tokito found himself smiling the slightest, "No, thanks." He said, hissing in pain as he budged to get up. His face flushed a bit as Tanjiro chuckled a bit, "Come on, you're obviously extremely tensed! Like, look at your back, it could be mistaken for onigiri soon enough." He earned a slightly wider smile of amusement from the other, sighing in defeat, "Alright then, if you insist." He replied, unable to help but feel slightly more happier from Tanjiro's sweet demeanor.
Muichiro had laid flat on his stomach, his hands cushioning his cheek as he awaited for Tanjiro to start, "Ready?" "Ready." He replied, not expecting Tanjiro to prop himself right beside him, palms kneading gently against his lower back, smiling widely as Tokito grunted and sighed happily, his pain slowly but surely being relieved. The red head continued this for a few minutes there, switching between kneading to his knuckles then back to his palms, or even his fingertips and thumbs if they were especially tensed up. After he finished with his back, he went down to his hips, Muichiro gasping, he couldn't help but panic whenever Tanjiro fluttered his finger's passed the peculiar spot, feeling unusually tingly and giddy. Tanjiro had began to notice this and took notes, when he pressed down against his hip's to massage deep within the bones, his would thrash around non-stop, his hand covering his mouth to block out any noise he could.
No way, he couldn't possibly be..
"Ticklish?" Tanjiro smiled, Muichiro nodding, hiding his hand against his hands, covering the overflowing amount of giggles that rippled out of him. Tanjiro was about to stop incase he felt uncomfortable from him knowing such discoveries before, "D-Dohon't stop, plehease." He heard, "It feels nihihice." He mumbled, the fact he trusted him so much already made Tanjiro almost sob, "Alright then, if it gets too much, tell me when to stop, alright?" He said, earning a nod before he went to work, his thumbs kneading gentle yet deeo circles into the dips of his hips, making the other buck and squeal, curling slightly, "WahaHAit, thahat-" "Tickles? Oh, we both knew that." He giggled, earning a very giddy whine from him, his expression purely bright before he went up, squeezing against his side's, "You know, I used to tickle my siblings all the time like this, especially Takeo and Shigeru when they were feeling a little grumpy." Tanjiro smiled, relishing the sweet memories to heart, his sad yet happy memory washing away as Muichiro curled up, Tanjiro having put his left hand under his arm, and the other wiggling against each rib, making Muichiro shriek, "eheHEAH!? NahAHAh! SoHOHO BAhaD!" He began to kick his legs out slightly, trying his best to pull his hand out from under his arm whilst trying not to squirm away from him at the same time.
Muichiro almost threw Tanjiro off him after he nuzzled gently against his neck, chuckling as he left two small raspberries into the sensitive area, "OHOHOH GOOHOHODNESS! H-HEHELP!" Muichiro began to squirm more, Tanjiro smiling widely as Shinobu had opened the door, "Oh my, Tokito-san seems to be enjoying himself, no?" She smiled amusingly, Tanjiro giggling, "He technically asked me too, Shinobu!" He grinned a bit as Tokito threw his head against his chest, his body quivering as he laughed from the hands that scribbled lovingly against his neck. Shinobu smiled and looked at them, "You should get away, he looks like he'll-" Tanjiro shrieked as Tokito than flipped him onto his stomach, digging into his ribs, earning happy bursts of laughter as Tanjiro uselessly flailed, "H-HEHELP MEHEHE!" Tanjiro reached out to Shinobu, only for her to wave and close the door, left to his eternal doom.

Omg omg omg! Three sentences game! Can you do some Lee!Muichiro and Ler!Tanjiro please? For the spot, neck! Like maybe Muichiro's long hair reminds him of Nezuko, and he offers to braid it or comb it out, only to keep brushing up against Muichiro's neck accidentally or on purpose cause Muichiro's a cutie
I hope you have fun! And hope the writer's block passes soon. Have a good day!
You seem so excited omg asjdjsf I love these cuties bonding dsjfjdf so of course I can write this for you! I hope you enjoy this! It got longer than expected ooooopppsss
Tumblr media
“You know… I was thinking that your hair reminds me a little bit of Nezuko’s,” he said, gently grabbing one of Nezuko’s braids and showing the two different colors of her hair. “So I was just wondering if your hair would look as pretty when braided, Tokito-kun” he chuckled sheepishly. 
Muichiro looked at Nezuko’s braids and he noticed only then her hair also was two different colors. He looked at Tanjiro and even though he didn’t ask him if he could braid his hair, he could see the question in his bright, big eyes. Muichiro sighed and he turned around, his back facing Tanjiro’s. “That’s stupid, my hair would not look as pretty as Nezuko’s,” he said and he heard Tanjiro gasping softly before he was behind him, his gentle fingers weaving through his hair, trying to remove any knots.
Tanjiro’s touch really was gentle, Muichiro couldn’t help but relax, feeling the gentle pulls of his hair and hearing Tanjiro mumbling as he braided his hair. He even felt like falling asleep, but he just couldn’t because every time Tanjiro’s fingertips brushed against the back of his neck, he would jump slightly, a smile pulling at his lips. Over and over and over Tanjiro’s fingers would brush against his neck and Muichiro could barely stop himself from giggling, until he couldn’t. 
“Tahahahanjiro!” He laughed, scrunching his shoulders and tilting his head back when Tanjiro started to actually tickle his neck. “Ah, so you really are ticklish, huh? I was wondering why you were moving so much, Tokito-kun. You have a cute laugh, don’t you think so, Nezuko?” The girl hummed in agreement and much to Muichiro’s surprise, he felt her nails gently scratching at his exposed neck, making him laugh even more as he tried to escape from both siblings. 
“My brahahahaid!” Muichiro said between giggles, falling on his back as both Tanjiro and Nezuko tickled his neck away. “Ah, don’t worry, Tokito-kun, I have finished quite some time back!” Muichiro gasped, but he could barely do that as he kept laughing and laughing. “I wihihill gehehet you bahahack!”
Well, at least he really looked cute with his hair braided!

I honestly just thought of this while trying to sleep myself so enjoy!!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Summary: Tanjiro can’t sleep. Won’t even close his eyes. Nezuko knows just how to help.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
It was a quiet night in the wisteria house, surprisingly. So quiet you could hear the crickets outside chirping away.
Finally.
There was a cool breeze to the serene night as the moon shined brightly against the clouds. The majestic violet of the hanging flowers glistened in the moon light. Yet there was one problem.
Tanjiro couldn’t sleep.
After the mansion, poor Teroku and Kiyoshi, I guess he had a lot on his mind? But it didn’t feel like just the mansion.
It was strange really. Tanjiro would usually be the first one to sleep with Zenitsu and Inosuke doing everything in their power to wake him up but now, they were the ones asleep and Tanjiro was awake.
“Close your eyes” he whispered to himself but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. Maybe he was a bit stressed out. The image of Kyogai unable to leave his head. Having broken ribs also isn’t easy you know.
But he just didn’t get it. He was given clothes and a place to stay which Zenitsu had be very rude by calling the elderly woman a monster, He had a very filling meal that Inosuke quite frankly ruined, and he had a decent bed to sleep on! What could it possibly be?-
His train of thought stopped in its tracks by the soft sound of an opening box. Out popped the head of Nezuko, showing her black and orange hair as she crawled out to greet her older brother, relieved that Zenitsu was out cold.
“Nezuko! Are you okay? Did you get any sleep at all?” The demon slayer asked with a wide smile but panic in his voice as he moved closer to her. He wanted to make sure that she was okay but was also overjoyed to see her. It happens often really.
Nezuko just crawled over to him, snuggled up next to him in his bed, and placed his hand on her head.
Tanjiro immediately understood and began rubbing her head as his little sisters eyes slowly began to close as she let out a deep sigh that sounded muffled due to her bamboo muzzle. it was a beautiful sight honestly. Tanjiro’s heart just melted.
In the meantime, the demon slayer contemplated everything under the sun. From if it was his fault his family was massacred to how to get stronger to trying to memorize Orudaki’s training to why it was so difficult for Inosuke to pronounce his name correctly just once.
He tossed and turned in his bed on the floor. He asked himself why he couldn’t just sleep. He felt a bit discouraged as he took a moment to look out the window and enjoy the outside.
After 2 hours Nezukos eyes slowly blinked open. It was about.. 12:53? 2? Whatever, it didn’t matter. What did matter was that Tanjiro was still up.
He hadn’t gotten any shut eye. Not even a blink. Now this made Nezuko worry.
Back on the mountain it was pretty hard for the demon slayer to sleep as well. Helping out everyone, taking care of his siblings and helping his mom wasn’t an easy task but this? This had never happened before.
Nezuko pushed her upper body to sit up and sat on her knees. She crossed her arms and furrowed her eyebrows as she gave Tanjiro a disappointed look that had a hint of worry hidden in it.
Tanjiro sighed and sat up as well. “I know, I know but I’m not tired!” He responded as he looked down at the floor.
Nezuko, in contrast was pretty upset and in an act of anger, gave Tanjiro’s side a jab without any intentions.
“Ah! Nehezuko!” The demon slayer squeaked as he jumped up and tried to keep his giggle down to a whisper while covering his side with his hand. He hadn’t been tickled in a while, so it seemed his tolerance went down, much to his surprise. He was always seen as a walking tickle spot back home, but now he was just a tickle spot overall.
His little sisters eyes lit up and she continued to poke his sides, being careful not to harm him with her nails.
“Nehehezuko that tihihickles!!” Tanjiro whisper-giggled as he tried his hardest to not wiggle enough to hurt Nezuko, but wiggle enough to get away from the tickle attack. He hadn’t realized how ticklish he actually was. His friends never tried to tickle him, which is half the reason he prayed not to wake them up.
Meanwhile Nezuko beamed as she moved from poking to squeezing at his sides. Tanjiro doubled down and began to start laughing a little bit louder. Thankfully, no one had stirred or waken up.
“Stohohohop ihihihihihit!!” Tanjiro screeched as he used on of his hands to hid his face, and the other to bat away his little sisters nimble fingers. The poor demon slayer twisted left and right, as Nezuko followed close behind smiling a sweet smile. She hadn’t heard him laugh like this in a while. His reaction was almost contagious.
“Sohohohomeones gonna wahahake uhuhuHUHP!!-“ Tanjiros laughter when up an octave when Nezuko began to scratch behind his knees. He squealed and hid his head in his pillow and laughed so loud his throat felt raw. He was kicking so much, Nezuko had to straddle his legs as she moved up to his neck and fluttered her fingers lightly.
The scar bearing boy’s laughter began to shrink down back to giggles as he removed the pillow from his face to allow himself to breathe, scrunching up his neck in the process.
“Ohohohokay okay!!! I’ll sleheheheep!” Tanjiro finally managed to blurt out. Nezuko though, didn’t believe him, and went to squeeze his thighs.
“AHAHAHA-! OKAY OKAY IHIHIM TIHIHIRED I PROHOHOMISE!!” He barked out as he threw his head back and hugged his middle, squirming left and right trying to get his sister off of him to stop the restraint she had on his lower body.
To his relief, Nezuko ceased the tickle assault as she put her head on his shoulder. Tanjiro gave himself a few minutes to catch his breath as he tried to rub the phantom tickles away. And after all of that-
He yawned.
The scar bearing boy then rested his head on his pillow, and tucked himself in to go to bed. Nezuko followed and went back to the position she was in before the predicament. Tanjiro’s eyes slowly started to close as he rested his head on his sister.
Suddenly, all of those thoughts he had began to vanish. Although he was left with one more
How did Inosuke and Zenitsu sleep through that?

for the demon slayer prompt #19! so sorry i forgot to add a number xjxjxjsnbk
Tumblr media
TickleTober Day #19: Demon
~~~
There were screams coming from a few rooms down the hall, startling Inosuke and Zenitsu into first looking at each other for confirmation they were both hearing it and then flying out of their beds in the sick ward to investigate the source.
Zenitsu fretted the whole way, worried it was a demon that neither of them were really prepared to fight in this state, but when Inosuke reached the room and flung open the door, both of them stopped short on the threshold, staring.
“GUYS!!” Tanjiro shrieked, red-faced and teary-eyed, laughing himself silly as his sister sat on his waist and danced her fingers along his torso, one hand plunged into his armpit. “HEHEHEHELP MEHEHEHEHEHE!!”
“What…?” Inosuke muttered, but Zenitsu’s eyes were wide and he couldn’t help blushing seeing the beaming smile Nezuko gave them both. Even though she couldn’t speak, it was apparent to them both how happy she was reducing her older brother to hysterics like this.
Neither of them moved.
Tanjiro continued kicking the air and pushing weakly at her hands, begging for mercy. “PLEHEHEASE, NEZUKO!! STAHAHAHAHAHAP!! I FEHEHEHEHEEL BEHEHEHEHETTER I SWEHEHEHEHEAR!!”
Zenitsu shoved past Inosuke and hurried over to them both. Nezuko watched him, curious as to which one of them he’d help. “Was Tanjiro feeling sad? Is that why you’re tickling him?”
She nodded.
He shot Tanjiro a smirk and positioned himself behind his friend’s head, reaching for his flailing wrists and pulling them away so his entire torso was opened up for Nezuko. “Then allow me to assist you, my lady!”
Nezuko beamed at him, and he felt his heart skip a beat.
“WAHAHAHAHAIT NO!! NOHOHOHO, PLEASE, I PROHOHOHOHOMISE I FEEL BEHEHEHEHETTER!!” Tanjiro cried, feeling panicked but also secretly enjoying this small return to normalcy for both him and his sister. Still, he screeched when she scribbled in both his underarms, Zenitsu’s hold on him keeping him at her mercy entirely. He suddenly remembered his other friend in the doorway and begged, “INOSUKE!! HEHEHEHEHELP ME, PLEHEHEHEHEASE!!”
Inosuke continued to stare for another few moments, then took a few tentative steps into the room. He was on Nezuko so fast no one had a chance to process it until her squealing giggles filled the air. The boar was just as surprised as the others that he’d chosen to intervene this way.
“Hey! Get your hands off her!” Zenitsu cried, lunging for him, but Tanjiro grabbed him around the waist and dug in, making the blonde shriek with laughter as well.
Soon all four of them were tickling each other wildly, not caring who was who, not taking sides. It was a rare moment of blissful fun for them all, and they took their time indulging in it while they could. When it was all over, all four of their hearts were full.

If you told them you liked tickling~
✨ Demon Slayer Trio ✨
Tumblr media
*————————————————————————*
Also tagging @giggly-squiggily just because 💖
Tumblr media
Tanjiro~
*Literally the sweetest thing.
*Understands how you feel for the most part. As a big brother of many younger siblings, tickling was a big part of his life and still is.
*He also tends to get into switch moods a lot. He loves being tickled and tickling his friends.
*Tanjiro likes to be the ler more often though because it’s what he’s used to.
*Made you feel so comfortable and safe when talking to him. He didn’t really say anything until you were done talking as to not interrupt you. Then he went on to tell stories about his siblings and how he still tickles Nezuko sometimes.
*From then on, gives you lots and lots of tickles.
*Especially tickle hugs.
*You’ve witnessed the Demon Slayer Trio tickle fights and it’s chaotic. But really sweet. And you can tell how much fun he’s having when they occur.
*You’re part of more of those tickle fights now because Tanjiro will drag you into them if he sees you’re in a mood.
*Speaking of which, Tanjiro always knows when you’re in a mood. Lee, ler, or switch.
*If you’re in a ler mood, he’ll gladly accept tickles if he’s in the right mood for them.
*So adorably ticklish.
*Tries his best to not push you away and instead holds onto his clothes or hugs his waist.
*Curls up into a giggly ball if you get his tummy.
*He also has a ticklish nose, and if you boop it or run a feather up and down the bridge he’ll lightly giggle and scrunch his face.
*————————————————————————*
Tumblr media
Inosuke~
*Was so confused-
*Didn’t know what tickling was till he met Tanjiro.
*Even when he learned what it was he saw it more as competition. But through you and Tanjiro, he’s learned to be more gentle and to even find a liking for it himself.
*Inosuke loves tickle fights. Especially with someone like you because he knows how much you love it and will totally tease you when he has the upper hand.
*He got really worried the first time told him he was tickling too rough. Since then he’s always careful and more gentle.
*Inosuke isn’t good with feelings, so he won’t admit that he likes it. What he will do is cross his arms and very quietly say, “I just didn’t want you to feel bad that I win all the time…” Sure Inosuke.
*Also not the greatest with physical affection, but he will give you random side hugs after tickle fights or hold onto your shirt when you’re tickling him if he doesn’t want to fight back.
*Wouldn’t tell you verbally, but he really appreciates it if you get him water and a snack after tickling him.
*He gets the little ✨sparkles✨ around his head.
*Oh my gosh compliment him on how awesome and strong he is while tickling him???? You’ve got a giggly Inosuke puddle of blush and happiness under your hands 💖
*He also loves tickle games. Seeing who can last the longest, try not to laugh or move, even stuff like tickle tag.
*You two make a terrifying ler duo ✨
*————————————————————————*
Tumblr media
Zenitsu~
*Confused at first how someone could like being tickled of all things, then admits he wouldn’t really mind if Nezuko tickled him though. (Which she does sometimes and he tries to stay as still as he can because he loves the affection)
*He provokes you to get you to tickle him.
*Even though he says he totally doesn’t like it, Zenitsu is so obvious that he loves it.
*He barely fights back and even holds onto your wrists while you’re tickling him.
*He also loves tickle fights. Especially when he’s able to get you back because he’s loves the sound of your laughter.
*With his ability, he’s able to tell which spot is more or less ticklish even in the slightest. This makes him a very skilled ler.
*Zenitsu teases a lot too. Teases your laughter, how much you love being tickled, etc.
*But tease him?? Blushes nonstop.
*If you’re using one hand to tickle him, he’ll grab for your other hand to hold 🥺💖
*Raspberries kill this guy.
*His neck, stomach, and behind his ears are the best spots for this kind of attack.
*Speaking of his ears, they’re so ticklish!!!
*If you try and whisper something to him, he can’t help but scrunch his shoulders up.
*Zenitsu is also the type to cover his face when he’s tickled. But he’s a hypocrite because if you do the same thing he’ll complain about not seeing your face.

Tickletober Day 14: Soft
Summary: On a shared day off, Tanjiro and Muchiro spend it together reminiscing about their childhoods, and Tanjiro discovers something very interesting about his friend.
Word Count: 2,001
Tumblr media
Muichiro rarely took days off. He had the option to but found it unnecessary unless he needed to recover from injuries. Before he recovered his memories, there was no reason to. He had nothing he wanted to do, no one he wanted to be with. He knew nothing of his previous life or family, and his only motivation was the ever-present rage that grounded him. 
Now, he knew what had happened to his family. There was still little reason for him to spend his time doing anything other than training and killing demons. He was a Hashira after all, his time was more valuable than the other slayers. 
But when Tanjiro had sent him a letter asking to spend some time together, he supposed he could take one day off.
Muichiro met him at the Butterfly Mansion. Tanjiro had written in his letter that he was recovering from some minor injuries he'd incurred on a mission, but Muichiro hadn't been prepared for the extent of them or the spark of anger that flared in him.
"Are you alright?" He asked, reaching up to gingerly touch the bandage around Tanjiro's head.
"I'm fine. Don't worry, it's worse than it looks," He reassured, smile as blinding as usual. Besides the bandages around his head and neck, he was walking with a noticeable limp in his right leg, and without his haori on, Muichiro could see more bandages around his ribs.
He didn't believe Tanjiro but didn't push. Instead he continued to worriedly examine Tanjiro, despite his protests, until he was satisfied. 
"It really isn't that bad! Miss Shinobu even said I could leave and go to town!"
"No."
"Oh, you don't want to? Did you have something else in mind?"
"You're still injured. You shouldn't leave. Can you even walk?" Muichiro asked, looking around Tanjiro's private room. He didn't see any crutches.
"Mhm! I can get around fine!" He insisted, standing from his seat on the bed and walking around the room for emphasis. Muichiro didn't seem impressed, making Tanjiro pout as he grabbed his robe and haori, slipping both on. He would have earlier, but he didn't realize how quickly Muichiro would arrive. 
"We'll stay here. I'll ask one of the girls to bring us a meal," Muichiro told him and was leaving before Tanjiro could react.
He didn't really mind. He thought they would enjoy a peaceful day walking around town, but he was content as long as he got to see Muichiro. They wrote to each other regularly, but it was rare to get to spend time together. He always treasured it when they could.
Muichiro returned quickly with Sumi, Kiyo, and Naho, each carrying food that they deposited on the table. The three girls huddled around Tanjiro, chattering with him for a few minutes before they left to return to their chores. 
The two boys kneeled across from each other at the table. As they began eating, an awkward silence fell over them. Tanjiro, while normally sociable, always found himself struggling to speak with Muichiro. It was easier when they wrote letters, when he didn't completely lose all sense looking at Muichiro, when the odd, pleasant warmth wasn't overwhelming.
Before he realized it, he was drawn out of his thoughts and blurted, "There's sakura mochi!"
Muichiro smiled at him, tilting his head to the side. "Is that your favorite?"
"No, but it's not little sister Hanako's absolute favorite! We only ever had it a few times, but she loves it! She practically drools anytime she sees it," He said, laughing at the fond memory.
"I didn't know you had any siblings other than Nezuko."
Tanjiro stilled, his smile tightening as a sad look passed over his face. "They passed. When Nezuko was turned…"
They were silent again. Muichiro waited for Tanjiro to continue speaking; he didn't. 
"I had an older brother," Muichiro began, "A twin. I couldn't remember him for a long time."
"That's awful," he frowned.
"It's okay," he smiled. It was better remembering. "I don't know what his favorite food was. We never had much, so we took what we could."
"We didn't either. I sold charcoal to support us."
"We provided for ourselves after our parents passed. He was always mad at me. And cold. Said I never worked hard enough or fast enough."
"That sounds a little like my brother Takeo! He could be a little harsh sometimes, but he's really a sweet kid."
"How many siblings do you have?"
He told him and named them, and they talked about them and Muichiro's brother. Tanjiro told him things that he hadn't thought about in years, because there was always something going on, some other threat, and there was rarely a moment for reflection like this. Once he got started, it was surprisingly easy for Tanjiro to talk about. There was almost something comforting about it, like a weight he hadn't realized was there was being lifted off of his chest.
Muichiro told him things too, about his brother and parents; memories that had barely just returned to him. Tanjiro wondered if it was as cathartic for him. It must have been, because neither of them could find it in them to stop talking, sharing stories until they were both smiling and laughing, feeling oddly at ease in having someone that understood and being able to escape that pain for a few moments. 
"I used to be a crybaby. It always annoyed him."
Tanjiro laughed good-naturedly. Muichiro didn't think he could do anything otherwise; he didn't have an ounce of malice in his body. "Really? It's hard to imagine with how you are now."
"Yeah. I don't think he liked seeing me upset. He always tried to cheer me up," Muichiro abandoned his half-eaten meal, shoving it away from him and busying his fingers with untangling his hair.
"How?" Tanjiro asked, tilting his head curiously. He also had stopped eating, but it seemed as if he had forgotten his food was there, as if all of his focus was on Muichiro. It was an odd feeling.
"Oh, he used to tickle me."
"I do that to my little siblings too! It's so cute whe—" Tanjiro cut himself off, staring at him with his mouth agape. "Wait! You're ticklish?"
"Uh, yeah," He felt his face redden slightly and blew a stray strand of hair out of his face. "Is that… not normal?"
"Oh, no!" Tanjiro shook his head, waving his hands, "I didn't mean anything bad by it! It's perfectly normal; I am too! I was only surprised considering how you were when we first met. I would have never thought that you were ticklish, though I guess it isn't more surprising than Genya…"
Muichiro laughed at Tanjiro's rambling and thought back to his earlier words, "You're a good big brother."
His eyes clouded over as he thought of Yuchiro. His memories had returned, but it still felt as if a piece of him was missing without his brother. There was a constant, piercing ache in his heart that oddly felt less painful the they talked, every word dulling the pain, if only for the moment. It helped, being here with Tanjiro.
He was drawn out of his thoughts when Tanjiro poked him in the side, making him shy away. He hadn't noticed when Tanjiro moved next to him. Had he missed something important again? 
"Sor—"
"You seem a little down today. It's a good thing I know how to cheer you up!" 
Tanjiro poked his side again, and Muichiro bit the inside of his cheek. He eyed Tanjiro cautiously and was greeted by a kind smile and gentle eyes that made his heart stutter. He trusted Tanjiro and knew he would never intentionally hurt him; it wasn't something he'd experienced in years, but if it ever were to happen again, he supposed he wouldn't mind if it was Tanjiro. After all, he had enjoyed those rare moments when his brother was affectionate.
Besides, it was nice to see Tanjiro smiling like that. Muichiro would do anything to keep him smiling like that.
"It's been awhile. I don't know if I'm still ticklish."
"Want to find out?" His eyes sparkled.
"Yeah," Muichiro's face felt hot.
"Okay," Tanjiro was kneeled beside him on the mats, earnest eyes that Muichiro couldn't meet bore into his skin as he skittered his fingers across his stomach. "Then let's try here!"
He gasped, squirming at the nostalgic sensation. "It seems like you still are! Now let's try somewhere else…"
Tanjiro tweaked his ribs, delighting in the small huffs he elicited from the other boy and his widening smile. His touch was gentle, barely ghosting over his skin in a way that left a tingling sensation long after the touch and made him yearn for more.
"You… don't have to—to be soho… gentle. I'm nahat that… fragile," Muichiro managed between his breathy giggles.
"If that's what you want!" Tanjiro's smile widened as he dug his fingers into his ribs. 
He squeaked, bursting into rapid giggles at the intense sensations. He clutched his hands into fists, straining to keep them at his side and ignored his instinct to curl up into a ball.
Tanjiro's touch was still light, allowing him to enjoy the sensation without desperately needing to escape. It was so different from Yuchiro. He tickled him mercilessly, wrecking him in his worst spots until his laughter was silent and he was on the verge of tears. It was awful but also left him feeling so light-headed and giddy he couldn't wait for it to happen again.
Tanjiro's hands shifted, moving to gently glide his short nails along Muichiro's back to give him a break.
Muichiro made an inhuman noise, giggles becoming louder and more rapid as he doubled over. He clenched his hands in Tanjiro's haori as he buried his face in his chest, too distracted by the ticklish sensations to realize how embarrassing their position was.
"Are you alright?" Tanjiro asked, stifling a laugh and temporarily stilling his hands.
He nodded against his chest, still giggling, and Tanjiro resumed his playful attack, making him writhe and shriek.
"That's good, because I'm really enjoying this! Your laugh is so cute!"
He bit back a groan, shaking his head that was still resting on Tanjiro's chest.
"You don't think it's cute?"
"Ihihihits nahahahaht!"
"Yes it is! It's adorable!"
"Nohoho! I behet yohohohours ihihis cuhuhuhuter!" 
"Wha—no it's not!" Tanjiro exclaimed, and the tickling suddenly stopped.
Muichiro's face burned as he realized what he'd said and their intimate position. Tanjiro was practically hugging him, and Muichiro was clinging to him. But he didn't want to stop. He was still lightly giggling when he finally mustered enough courage to peek up at Tanjiro. 
His face was as red as Muichiro's, his smile wide, and his eyes nervous. He didn't know what to make of that.
"I… I think you're cute," Tanjiro finally spoke up, voice hushed.
Muichiro's throat was dry. He didn't know if it was his or Tanjiro's heart that was beating so fast. 
He wasn't sure how much time had passed, but it was enough for Tanjiro's face to fall as if anticipating a rejection. He wouldn't get one.
Muichiro leaned closer, and before he realized what he was doing, he'd pressed a kiss to Tanjiro's cheek.
His smile was more radiant than Muichiro had ever seen it. Tanjiro reached out his hand to smooth out Muichiro's frazzled hair. 
After what felt like an eternity, Tanjiro said, "I like you."
He couldn't quite meet his eyes. "Me too."
This time, Tanjiro leaned in, and Muichiro met him halfway, sinking into the short, soft kiss—his first kiss.
Then Tanjiro pulled him into a hug, gently cradling him and burying his face into his shoulder, but Muichiro could still imagine the blinding grin and the red flush he must've had.
Once again, they sat together in silence, one that was comfortable and reflective, and Muichiro found himself quite thankful that he had taken the day off.

- Kanroji is one of the best lers, she is objective and doesn't give up on a target until she catches it
- She doesn't really like interrogating people until they suffer, like some people out there
- She likes to make his lees admit that they like it
- She finds it super cute to see people laughing and falls in love with it
- Mitsuri is one of the worst because of her giant strength that will pin anyone to the ground and won't let them escape
- Tickles Muichiro just because he's cute and Obanai because she's definitely in love with him, kskskskskskskksksks
- Favorite Lees: Muichiro and Obanai, 🥹 and Nezuko
- “How beautiful and attractive you look when you are tickled!”
Lee:
- She is considerably ticklish 80/100
- Loves physical contact, because it's one of her love languages ​​(she has all the possible ones) so she doesn't really mind being tickled
- Bubbly giggles without many complaints I would say
- Weak points: Sides and thighs (Obanai must be embarrassed to squeeze her thighs lol)
-Teases that get her: “so beautiful, so sensitive”
Tumblr media
Obanai Igoru 🐍😒🐍😒🐍😒🐍😒 🐍😒
50% ler / 50% lee
Ler:
- Igoru is definitely the type to provoke, but in a calm way that makes you go crazy
- Despite teasing you for being in that situation, his touch is light and calm, as if he doesn't want you to die
- But sometimes light tickles are the worst, so he'll break you and brag about it
- He's totally the type to chase you with an evil laugh lol
- Your snake can trap your arms :)
- He tickles Mitsuri, but he's embarrassed because he's obviously in love with her
- Favorite Lees: Mitsuri
- “You look like you’re on the verge of death and I haven’t even started yet”
Lee:
- He really feels ticklish
- 90/100, they are always the provocateurs and the shy ones
- His laughs are low but bubbly
- He says he hates tickling and wants to get out of there NOW, but deep down he doesn't mind laughing every now and then, you know
- Does not admit that he feels ticklish
- He has a face like someone who gets hiccups after being attacked, that would be funny lol and those who would laugh at his face would be Tengen and Sanemi
- Mitsuri also tickles him, she is naughty and he likes it
- He can scream a lot when his weak point is hit, despite being always well protected by the snake wrapped around him
- Weak points: neck
- Teasing that gets him: “and despite all that laughter, you don’t feel ticklish, right?”
- Bonus: the snake tickles when wrapped around him
Tumblr media
Sanemi Shinazugawa 💨🌬️💨🌬️ 💨🌬️ 💨
80% ler / 20% lee
Ler:
- Sanemi provokes a lot
- I was really crazy
- Look at that boy's demonic face
- His tickles are not as strong as Mitsuri's or Uzui's or as effective as Shinobu's, but slowly the lee dies inside
- Loves to see his target squirming
- When he catches Tomioka, he says he has a thirst for revenge because Gyuu probably tickled him and kills him
- He tickles Genya really cute when they get closer again ainnn
- He's a bit aggressive but he never wanted to hurt any of his fellow Hashiras during tickling, sorry
- Favorite Lees: Tomioka and Genya (siblings 🥹)
- “I’m going to kill you~”
Lee:
- Now he's the one who dies skskksksksks
- Very sensitive 90/100, however, no one really wants to tickle him if not for revenge, so only Tomioka would know his worst points
- Also, like Obanai, he doesn't admit that he feels ticklish
- He only likes it when it's Tomioka, and then he doesn't complain so much
- But when it's someone else he screams and kicks like a baby
- His laugh is shrill and bubbly, very loud
- Curling himself into a ball is him defense against any sneaky hand
- Surprise attacks catch him more
- Running a single finger across all his scars is enough for him to die
- Weak points: ribs and scars
- Provocations that get him: “Being completely defeated must be humiliating for you, right?”
Tumblr media
Gyomei Himejima 🪨✝️🪨✝️🪨✝️🪨✝️🪨
95% ler / 5% lee
Ler:
- Gyomei tickles someone when he feels that person's aura is a little shaken
- He doesn't usually do much, but for some people he does this little favor
- Like mainly his students, Muichiro and Genya
- He likes to feel like the two grumpy kids are having fun
- Favorite Lees: Muichiro and Genya obviously
- “May Buddha have mercy on your poor soul”
Lee:
- The 5% is left for some time when Muichiro and Genya have already tickled him back
- And for a few times that the Hashira boy lay on his lap and caressed him without meaning to
- Weak points: neck (but no one can reach it lol)
- Teasing that gets him: he doesn't deserve to be teased, he's cute (teasing doesn't work on him)
Thanks for reading 💛💛💛, I’m in love whit my muichiro Headcanons 🥹🥹

Hi hii, I saw your message, dw lol! I read what you wrote and it was super cutee! Thanks for doing it btwww
(It was:
Could you do headcannons for muichiro's s/o finding out he's ticklish, and really enjoying it? Also, would any of the other hashira or tanjiro get away with tickling him, and how would it go? )
Muichiros s/o finding out he’s ticklish
Tumblr media
My first request! Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience! Ahh, Mui! My favorite character! I gotcha covered :)
I feel like one of his most ticklish spots is his neck, so you found out when you were kissing him there
He probably forgot he was ticklish so he was like “????”
You were absolutely ecstatic when you found out because it’s out of character for him to smile and laugh like that, and you find it adorable
I feel like he doesn’t mind your antics and might even ask you sometimes if he’s in the mood. But it’s very rare for him to do so
“Hey y/n, can you do that thing? The laughing there where you-Oh, tickling. Can you do that?”
I feel like he prefers softer tickles, so one of your favorite things to do is gently tickle his sides whenever you’re hugging
He doesn’t mind it
You’re probably the only one who can get away with tickling him
You and maybe Tanjiro and Nezuko
Anyone else gets a rock flicked to the head

🌼✨Kamaboko Squad Tickle headcanons✨🌼
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
First tickle post and we start with headcanons of the Kamaboko squad (Including Kanao and Genya) because they are my babies and sweethearts ✨😻
I hope you enjoy it and have a nice day/night/afternoon
A/N: I remind you that English is not my first language, so this maybe have spelling problems
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Tumblr media
Lee:
-His weak spots are the neck, nose, sides and hips.
-Is he ticklish? Yeah. Any point where he's attacked is going to tickle him, but if you attack those specific points you will have him screaming
-He doesn't really mind being tickled, in fact he enjoys it.
-If he trusts you enough, and is in the mood, he may ask you to tickle him.
-Light tickling definitely affects him more
-And he has a beautiful and charming laugh. It's a squeaky laugh, yes. But he's also very cute and loud in the sense that you feel blessed to hear him laugh✨
-Hearing It is like: *ascending to heaven with sparkles and sweetness*
-Regarding teasing
-Affects him? Yes, but compliments have more impact on him, he will blush so intensely that his cheeks will compete with his hair to see which is redder.
Ler:
-One of the kindest and cutest ler you will ever meet
-He lived with five siblings and he was the oldest, he clearly have the experience to be a good tickle monster
-If he wants, he can have you begging for mercy
-Will use tickling either to help someone to feel better, to calm Inosuke down, or just for fun and if he wants to play something with someone
-He is going to say compliments and make baby talk to make his lee blush
-"You have the cutest laugh I've ever heard!!", "You laugh like a little child! Adorable!!", "Not there? So how about here??"
-In the aftercare he's a mass of love and purity 💕✨
-He's going to get his lee a glass of water, he's going to ask them if they're okay, etcetera, anyways, a love of person my Tanjiro
-His favorite lees are Genya, Inosuke, Muichiro and Nezuko
Tumblr media
Lee:
-Nezuko, like her brother, is very ticklish, but her dead spots are her belly, sides, and her ribs
-She also likes being tickled
-She is a little girl, of course she is going to have that squeaky and cute laugh that any little girl has, it runs in the family.
-Teasing doesn't affect her much, don't even try it
-What really affects her are the raspberries, if someone gives her one in her belly she will scream between laughs in a cute but strong way
-She also has a weakness for nibbles
-She prefers to be in her small form when tickled, it amuses her and it is easier for her ler to tickle her
-But she doesn't always choose revenge or getting someone back
-Unless they go a little over her limits or it's a tickle fight, in that case...
Ler:
-If you go too far with her, she will go after you.
-She definitely uses her claws to tickle
-She will also take advantage using her full demon form
-Once she was tickling Tanjiro in her full demon form, Tanjiro was screaming so loud that those who heard his screams and saw Tanjiro on the ground with his sister on top of him believed that Nezuko had lost control and was hurting him (I think I'll make a fic about this someday)
-She doesn't tease her lee's much because the muzzle was removed not long ago, but she say things like "Coochie coochie coo" or laugh along with her lee
-She makes sure that her lee is having a good time and tries not to exceed the limits of her lee
-She has a few tickle fights with Tanjiro when they are alone or when she sees that Tanjiro is very discouraged
Tumblr media
Lee:
-Too ticklish for his own good
-Everything affects him, rough tickling, light tickling, teasing, even kisses can tickle him.
-His weak point is his entire body, but tickling his ears will drive him crazy
-He has a loud, screeching and somewhat childish laugh that makes it seem like someone is killing him
-Blushes too much and rolls up into a ball when tickled
-Although he denies that he likes tickling, he actually enjoys the attention.
-He'll say he's not ticklish, but as soon as you touch him he'll start laughing hard.
-"Wh-what?? Of-of course I'm not ti-cklish!! Hahaha! Whydidyousaythat?? WHOTOLDYOU?!?
-The teasing and compliments make him EXTREMELY blush, he competes with Tanjiro's hair
Ler:
-Probably the cruelest ler of the group
-He will use teasing to his advantage, he will also look for a way to imprison you with his arms or take advantage of any free space that exposes your dead spots
-"Not here? So, how about here?"/"What? Can't you stand a little Tick-tick-tickling~??"
-Depending on who you are and what your relationship with Zenitsu is, his tickling can be a simple game or complete torture
-It will probably go straight for your weak points
-The lightning that hit Zenitsu made him gain the ability to make his fingers vibrate, if he manages to vibrate them you can consider yourself lost
-He hasn't tickled anyone while he's unconscious, but knowing how cruel he can be when conscious, he prefers not to even find out what it would be like
Tumblr media
Lee:
-He doesn't know what tickling is, but he says he's not ticklish, HE SAYS
-Dead spots? The entire torso, and when I say "entire", it's ENTIRE, including his back and lower back, although of course it will not tickle as much as if you attacked his sides or ribs
-At first he was the victim of many tickling attacks because he didn't even know what it was
-His laugh is strong, thunderous, but it is also very cute and silly
-He snores and snorts between laughs
-He doesn't fall for teasing, but if you flatter him and give him aftercare then you will have him totally blushing
-He covers his face 'cause he doesn't know how to react and embarrassment and nerves get the better of him
-He is the one who is in a Lee mood most often
-When he is like this he approaches someone he trusts *cough* Zenitsu, Tanjiro or Nezuko *cough* and will sit on their lap or simply ask for it
Ler:
-Tanjiro showed Inosuke what tickling is like alternative fights in which no one would get hurt
-Now he starts all the tickle fights
-He doesn't tease his lee, but he does brag about how he is better and that his lee is weaker
-He doesn't know how to measure his strength, so he ends up hurting his lee
-If he sees that they are uncomfortable he will lower his intensity a little
-If it's Tanjiro then he'll stop and hug him, feeling bad for hurting Tanjiro, but he loves him (platonically) or nah?
-He is not the cruelest ler, but he is the rudest because he only knows to do rough tickling
Tumblr media
Lee:
-Her ribs are like an "on and off" button
-As soon as someone tickles there, any dead spots become sensitive.
-Dead spots: Ribs, sides, hands... And that's it
-She doesn't have many dead spots, but the ones it does have are VERY sensitive
-Light tickling drives her crazy
-Her laugh is initially quiet and soft, but it can become strong and somewhat thunderous
-She squeaks sometimes (When I say sometimes it is almost always)
Ler:
-When she's teasing her lee, she doesn't tease as much as Zenitsu, but her words really affect
-"What's wrong? Does it tickle? Oh, I didn't know that-continue with the tickling-"
-Her worst tool is her nails, but she will also send butterflies to "attack" her Lee when he finds them off guard
-Shinobu taught her well, so she knows how to imprison you to make sure you don't escape anytime soon.
-She is also very cute in the aftercare, she will even ask you if she didn't overdo it or if you were okay with it, also a love my baby✨
-Help calm Inosuke down using tickling
-She has a good sense of deduction, she will deduce your weak points and take all possible advantage
-In tickle fights she won't stop for anyone, she comes straight to win, and she wins
Tumblr media
Lee:
-His dead spots are definitely his ribs, neck, hips, thighs and feet
-He's also sensitive in other parts, but mainly in those five
-He will scream when a dead spot is attacked
-Rough or light tickling, either affects him
-Teasing doesn't affect a lot, but baby talk and praise do.
-OMG that makes him totally blush, LITERALLY
-His scar is also quite ticklish
-When he is in his demonic form his entire body becomes more sensitive to touch
Ler:
-Like Nezuko, he has claws in his demonic form, which he would use to tickle
-He and Nezuko teamed up to attack the entire Kamaboko squad in their demonic forms, Genya ate a piece of Nezuko's finger, and chaos began.
-His most recurring lee are Tanjiro and Inosuke
-Do he tease his lee? Yeah. But he does it in a kind way, as if they were his little siblings
-He's going to pretend to eat his lee while he nibbles on some sensitive spot of the lee
-He's not exactly the best at aftercare, but he will rub your back or pat you to show you that he's there (oh my boy 😭✨)
-He becomes quite competitive in tickle fights, so he will take any advantage available, kind of like Kanao
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
AND THAT'S IT!! That would be the first content post of mine on this account! I hope you enjoyed the headcanons, remember to take care of yourself and drink water, and I'm sorry for any errors that appear in the fic 😿
Until next time!!... If God wants... -Fade away-

HELLO HELLO
I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE TICKLISH PALM TANJIRO BECAUSE IT CUTE AND HE USS THAT SWIRD A HECCIN LOT
{Headcanons to Dabbles: CLOSED!}
KJERKJEKJRJKEKJREJK I LOVE THIS AHH! Ticklish hands are so underrated! Tanjiro would get so giggly during check ups akjrejkarjkejkrajek I've gotcha covered, friend! :D
Tanjiro really thought this would be easier.
He was proven very, very wrong.
“Hold still! Geez, how the hell do people take care of you like this?” Genya growled around a mouthful of tape roll, one hand squeezing Tanjiro’s wrist to keep him still as the other wrapped a roll of soft bandage around his calloused hand. Normally the task would be assigned to one of the caterpillar girls here, but they were all busy with other patients and Tanjiro felt bad for bothering them.
Then Genya felt bad that Tanjiro felt bad and blurted out that he’d take care of his injured hand without really thinking about it.
That was how they got here.
“I’m sorry! I’m sohohohohoohohrry!” Tanjiro giggled out, his free hand pressed into his mouth as he tried not to move so much. “It tihihihihickles tohohohohohohooo muuhuhuhuhuch!”
“Yeah, obviously.” Genya rolled his eyes- the gesture not unkind. “Is he always this giggly when you treat him?” He turned to look at Kanao sitting by the first aid box in her lap as she watched them struggle through the process.
“I’m not usually the one to do so but…yes, from the sounds of it.” She shrugged some, barely fighting down a giggle when Tanjiro hooted. “He’s one of the few people I know with ticklish hands.”
“Iihihiihihihs it thahhahahhat rahhahahhahahahre?” Tanjiro tried to keep the conversation going even as he laughed, jerking some when Genya’s fingers brushed along the inside of his palms. “I hahahahd no idheahhaahahhahaha!”
“Not really rare- all my siblings had ticklish hands growing up.” Genya grunted as he tucked the last of the gauze, taping it down. “Brother probably grew out of it.”
“He didn’t.” Kanao spoke, earning a surprised look from both of them. “I had to help Shinobu with him once.”
“Huh. Maybe it’s a genetic thing?” Tanjiro mused, suddenly eyeing Genya’s open hands. Without warning, he reached out and scratched his palm.
“GEHA!” The bigger boy yelped, shooting his hands back with a giggle. Kanao huffed out a laugh behind her hand.
“Genetic.” Tanjiro giggled, laughing more as he was pushed down and tickled properly.

#17 with lee inosuke and ler tanjiro please? i love your writing!
TickleTober Day #17: Shadows
~~~
“Gyah!”
Inosuke turned to Tanjiro, who had jumped like a startled kitten at the slightest movement nearby. It was just another weird shadow, but the overactive boy didn’t seem to realize he was panicking over nothing.
“I’ve already told you,” Inosuke said, “there’s no one there. Stop being such a wuss.”
“You can’t know there’s no one there,” Tanjiro replied, hand on the hilt of his katana, ready to strike at a moment’s notice.
“Of course I can.”
“You’re too relaxed! You need to have your guard up, Inosuke.”
“It is up.” Finally the boar turned to look at him fully. “Why are you so freaked out? This is weird for you.”
Tanjiro hesitated. He knew his friend was right, and he didn’t exactly want to admit why, but…
“My…my sister,” he finally managed, glancing around. “She’s not here with me, and it’s making me jumpy. I’m used to her weight on my back. And…I don’t know. Having her here just makes me feel better.”
Inosuke snorted. “Thanks.”
Tanjiro immediately realized how that may have sounded and backtracked. “No, no! Having you nearby helps, too, Inosuke! It’s just—”
“She’s your family. I get it,” Inosuke replied in a gentler tone, crossing his arms. “But seriously, you gotta calm down. There’s nothing here, and if there was, I’d know about it. You’re safe with me.”
The words were comforting, and Tanjiro finally felt the tension in him bleed out a little. “Thanks.”
Inosuke nodded, then turned and continued trekking onward. Tanjiro hurried to keep up. Watching his brazen friend so confidently strolling through a forest in the middle of the night both empowered him and made him curious. “So…if something were out to get you, you’d sense it?”
“How many times do I have to tell you? Yes, I would know.”
Tanjiro grinned, feeling mischevious. He lunged forward. To his surprise, Inosuke indeed suspected he’d do so and whirled around to meet him, but it did nothing to prevent the two of them from sprawling onto the ground together. Tanjiro’s hands quickly found purchase on his friend’s stomach, scribbling wildly. He was rewarded with a snort and a leg kicking into the air behind him
“Whahahahat?! Why are you – ahahahaha stahahahap! Hanhiro!”
Tanjiro chuckled, quickly laying on top of Inosuke so he couldn’t wriggle away easily, enjoying his surprisingly high-pitched laughter. “Maybe I should tickle you until you get my name right!”
“Nohohohoho!” Inosuke cackled, bucking again, another snort filling the air between them. “Quihihihihihit it! Lehehehehet me go!”
“But hearing you laugh makes me feel safer,” Tanjiro teased.
Inosuke groaned through his increasing giggles.
The two of them wound up being fairly late getting back home.
