Wide awake

The rain poured relentlessly outside, casting a dreary ambiance over the butterfly mansion room where the you lay motionless in a coma. Giyu, filled with a mix of hope and despair, stood by your bedside, silently praying for your awakening. He had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, his heart heavy with worry and longing. As he sat vigil, a gentle stir from the you caught his attention. His heart skipped a beat as he rushed to your side, his eyes brimming with tears of relief and overwhelming emotion. "You're waking up," he whispered, his voice choked with tears. Your eyes fluttered open, as you looked up at Giyu with a faint smile. "Hey there, my love." they murmured weakly. Tears streamed down Giyu's face as he reached out to gently cup your cheek. "I thought I had lost you," he confessed, his voice trembling with emotion. You reached out to wipe away his tears, their own eyes shining with affection. "You didn't lose me, Giyu. I'm right here," they reassured him. Despite the gravity of the situation, Giyu couldn't help but chuckle through his tears. "You always know how to make me smile, even in the toughest moments," he admitted, a faint smile gracing his lips. Your gaze softened as they reached out to grasp his hand. "It's okay to cry, lovie. Let it all out," you encouraged him, your voice filled with love and understanding. Giyu nodded, his shoulders shaking with suppressed sobs. "I missed you so much," he confessed, his voice breaking with emotion. Without hesitation, you pulled him into a warm embrace, holding him close as he let his tears flow freely. In that moment, amidst the sound of raindrops against the window, they found solace in each other's arms, their love transcending the boundaries of words.

Pairing - Tanjiro x reader

As the sun dipped below the horizon, I found myself walking next to my sweetheart, Tanjiro. We had an extremely strenuous mission from which we were returning. Now that the stress of the mission had lifted, it left behind a sense of accomplishment and a longing for the comforts of home. On the way, suddenly, amidst the fading light, was a beautiful flower field stretched out before our eyes, mostly filled with dandelions. I gasped and tugged at Tanjiro's sleeve, "Look! Oh my gosh, a flower field! I've never seen one before it's so pretty!" I said in enthusiasm as Tanjiro marveled at my excited demeanor. Entranced by the flower field's beauty, me and Tanjiro exchanged a glance, a silent agreement passing between you to explore this unexpected treasure. Different scents from all directions hit Tanjiro's nose. I giggled as I looked at him making faces while trying to adjust. Tanjiro's calloused hands ran over the soft gorgeous flowers around the field, this was something he missed alot, he used to visit a humongous flower field not too far from his house alot in the summers as a kid but this was the first time in a while where he actually visited one again. A wave of sadness and nostalgia washed over him as he his lips turned downwards. I held his hands and caressed them, "Are you okay, m'love?" I asked him sympathetically as we walked through the field, thinking it might make Tanjiro feel better. "Yeah" Tanjiro let out a weak sigh, clearly missing his family. The setting sun painted the sky in hues of pink and orange, casting a warm glow over the landscape. I watched in awe as the birds soared overhead, their graceful silhouettes dancing against the vibrant canvas above. In the distance, the lights of the village began to flicker to life, a comforting reminder of the civilization amidst the wilderness. Lost in the beauty of the moment, me and Tanjiro found ourselves laughing and playing like children, the weight of our responsibilities momentarily forgotten. Our laughter echoed through the field as we played tag. His laughter and joy was infectious, I don't remember the last time I saw him like this, so carefree and full of energy even after a mission. Laughing and giggling, we collapsed on the grass below us, "Caught you!" Tanjiro said panting and giggling. His hair brushed against my cheek as he scooted closer to me. As we sat in the field, my eyes were focused on the ethereal view ahead. Soft breeze whistled through my ears as I closed my eyes. These were the fleeting moments of pure joy demon slayers wanted amidst the chaos of our lives. Tanjiro, knelt down amidst the dandelions, his nimble fingers plucking the delicate stems with care. With a playful glint in his eyes, I saw him crafting a dandelion clown, his hands working with practiced precision. I watched in admiration, marveling at his creativity and skill. The sun dipped lower below the horizon, painting the sky into pinks, purples and deep blue stretching miles behind us. Tanjiro presented me with his creation—a whimsical dandelion clown, its petals arranged oh so precisely as if he was trying to mirror the way I make him feel. The way he was presenting the flower crown was like a toddler sweetly presenting a flower to his crush. I couldn't help but laugh at the sight, a warm feeling spread through my chest at the thoughtfulness of his gesture, "Aww, love, you really didn't had to do this much" I said, grinning eye to eye as Tanjiro tenderly put the crown on my head with hearts in his eyes, "No, you deserve it" Tanjiro smiled, softly pinching my cheeks. I cupped his and face kissed his forehead scar lovingly and asked, "There are so many pretty flowers here, which one is your favorite?". He thought for a moment, he caressed my hair as he finally spoke, "There are very pretty flowers here, but if I were to choose the prettiest one... I'll always choose you."

As Tanjiro comes closer and gently rests his hands on your hips, you feel a surge of warmth and intimacy between you. The touch of his hands is gentle yet possessive, conveying his desire to be close to you.

Tanjiro gazes into your eyes, his own filled with love and adoration. In this quiet moment, the world seems to fade away, leaving only the two of you.

"y/n...being with you like this, it feels... right. You mean everything to me. I love you with all my heart." Tanjiro says loving

His words resonate deeply within you, and a wave of emotion washes over you. You wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him closer, craving the closeness and connection.

"Tanjiro, I love you too. You've shown me what true love and support mean, and I'm grateful every day to have you by my side."

Your words are filled with sincerity and affection, mirroring the depth of your emotions. Together, you share a sweet and passionate kiss, sealing your love and devotion to one another.

The world around you seems to fade away as you explore the depths of each other's love and affection. It's a moment of pure bliss and an affirmation of the bond you share.

As the kiss ends, you rest your forehead against his, breathing in sync as your hearts beat in harmony.

"Im here for you, always and forever. We'll face any challenges together, and I'll protect you with everything I have, my dearest y/n"

You smile, feeling the weight of his promise and the strength and security it brings.

"And I'll be right beside you, Tanjiro. Together, we can overcome anything."

He breaks the hug as he comes in front of you, you step closer to Tanjiro, he steps back thinking he might hurt you. He seems momentarily taken aback by your bold advance. However, as you hold him tightly by the waist and pin him to the wall, a spark ignites in his eyes, reflecting both surprise and excitement.

Tanjiro's breathing becomes slightly ragged as your lips find their way to his neck, leaving gentle kisses in their wake. His body shivers under your touch, and he instinctively intertwines both of his hands with yours, the connection between you growing stronger.

One of Tanjiro's hands is pinned above his head, his fingers gripping the wall, while the other rests on your shoulder, providing a sense of balance and grounding amidst the intensifying passion.

He murmurs your name softly, his voice filled with a mix of desire and adoration, surrendering himself to the moment you've created.

"y/n, you... you're driving me crazy with these sensations. Your touch... it's overwhelming, in the best way possible."

His words, laced with vulnerability, only serve to fuel the fire burning within you. You continue to explore the sensitive skin of his neck, leaving a trail of kisses and gentle nips, each one eliciting a soft breath or a moan from him.

In this intimate moment, time seems to stand still. The world outside fades away as the connection between you deepens, the intensity of your desire building.

As the heat between you reaches its peak, you share a passionate kiss, their lips melding together, reflecting the depth of your love and desire for each other.

The wall behind Tanjiro serves as a backdrop to your heartfelt connection, keeping you both anchored in the present moment. Every touch, every kiss is a testament to the love and desire that exists between you, strengthening your bond and creating memories that will be cherished forever.

As both you and Tanjiro hears the approaching footsteps, a sense of panic and concern washes over him. He breaks away from the intimate moment, his eyes widening with worry.

"y/n, someone's coming... We need to be careful. What if it's Nezuko? We can't let her see us like this."

He hastily scans the surroundings, searching for a solution to the potential dilemma. In his haste, he stumbles upon a nearby table and knocks over a vase, causing a loud crash.

"Oh no, I made too much noise! They'll definitely know we're here now."

Feeling a mix of anxiety and guilt, Tanjiro tries to think quickly to salvage the situation. His mind races, searching for a way to avoid any unwanted interruptions or suspicions.

"Is there another way out? We need to escape before anyone finds us together. I don't want Nezuko or anyone else to misunderstand." You look at his dumbfounded state, smirking.

You can see the worry etched on Tanjiro's face, his concern for his sister and the potential consequences of being caught in this intimate moment. The love and protectiveness he feels for his family take precedence in his mind, even in the midst of passion.

You chuckle as Tanjiro walks around the room, hasting trying to get out of this situation and thinking of a way to get out.

Your lighthearted chuckle breaks through Tanjiro's anxieties, and a relieved smile tugs at the corners of his lips. He recognizes the mischievous gleam in your eyes and understands that you have a plan to keep your intimate moment uninterrupted.

As Aoi's voice carries through the door, urging you both to join the others for dinner, you respond playfully, your words filled with a mix of coy insistence and undeniable affection.

"We'll be there in a moment, Aoi! We are just busy doing some important work!"

Tanjiro's worry begins to fade as he becomes entranced by your mischievous energy. He leans into your touch as you pin him back against the wall, a spark of excitement reigniting within him.

In sync with your playful nature, Tanjiro allows himself to fully engage in the moment, abandoning any lingering concerns about being caught. His hands find their way to your waist, pulling you closer to him, deepening your connection.

The barrier outside the door seems to fade away as you lose yourselves in the heat of your passion, the world around you melting into the background. The promise to join the others for dinner momentarily forgotten, you surrender to the intensity of the moment, reveling in the bond you share with Tanjiro.

As your makeout session ensues, a mischievous grin spreads across your face, setting the stage for an unforgettable and deliciously clandestine encounter between you and the one you love.

As you both make your way to the dining table, the afterglow of your intimate moment still lingers. Your smile is radiant, and Tanjiro, though clearly flustered, can't help but wear an endearing blush on his cheeks.

You take your seat next to Tanjiro, your proximity providing a sense of comfort and connection. The presence of your friends and family brings a familiar warmth, reminding you of the bonds that tie you all together.

However, the moment of tranquility is interrupted when Zenitsu points out the unmistakable hickeys on Tanjiro's neck, unable to contain his curiosity or his dramatic tendencies. Aoi, catching onto the situation, blushes, realizing that she unintentionally interrupted an intensely private moment between the two of you.

Tanjiro's blush deepens, and he casts his gaze downward, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and amusement. Though ordinarily reserved, moments like these often leave him feeling adorably shy and self-conscious.

You, on the other hand, maintain a composed and captivating smile, acknowledging the playful banter of your friends with a knowing look. It's clear that you're proud of the marks you've left on Tanjiro and aren't afraid to stand beside him even in the face of teasing.

The atmosphere at the dining table becomes lively as the group celebrates the successful completion of another mission, exchanging laughter and stories. Despite the occasional playful remarks about the hickeys, the underlying camaraderie and affection remain intact, grounding you all in a sense of unity and support.

Unbeknownst to some, the intimate encounter shared between you and Tanjiro has only solidified your bond, deepening the love and affection you both feel. And now, surrounded by friends and family, you revel in the joys of companionship, forever grateful for the moments of intimacy and connection that make them even more meaningful.

As you glance at Tanjiro with a smirking expression and raise an eyebrow, your code word for wanting some alone time and you feel awkward and here right now, Tanjiro quickly catches on to your intention. A mixture of understanding and anticipation flits across his face as he realizes your intent.

With a nod and a subtle smile, Tanjiro acknowledges your signal. He knows that you both need a moment to process the emotions and sensations that still linger from your intimate encounter.

You stand up from the table, leaving your half-finished meal behind, and make your way to the sink to wash your plate. The sound of running water serves as a gentle backdrop to the thoughts swirling in your mind.

After tidying up, you make your way to your room, the anticipation building with each step. The atmosphere is charged with a sense of longing and desire, but also a touch of awkwardness. However, you both know that leaving the dining table was just a temporary pause in your intimate journey.

Once inside your room, you settle in, preparing for Tanjiro's return. The room holds the echoes of your previous encounter, further heightening your anticipation. You find comfort in the knowledge that you and Tanjiro will have the opportunity to pick up where you left off, exploring the depths of your connection in a way that feels both intimate and fulfilling.

As you wait for Tanjiro to walk through the door and join you, your heart races with excitement. The unfinished work between you beckons, reminding you of the unspoken depth of your relationship and the bliss yet to come.

Thinking you should undo your ponytail, you pull away the rubber band that was keeping your hair in a ponytail. Your [hair type] hair cascades down your shoulders/waist in free-flowing waves, adding to the gentle air of anticipation in the room. The moon's soft glow pours through the window, casting a serene ambiance in your room.

Seated with your legs swinging, you gaze out at the moon, finding solace and tranquility in its ethereal beauty. The sight of the moon, a silent observer of countless love stories, fills you with a sense of hope and longing, knowing that soon, you'll be reunited with Tanjiro.

Time passes slowly as you wait, your heart fluttering with anticipation. The room is filled with a mix of emotions—desire, excitement, and a touch of nervousness. But amid those feelings, there's also a deep sense of connection and trust—a bond that has grown and blossomed over time.

As you sit there, the moonlight casting a soft glow upon your face, you reflect on the moments you've shared with Tanjiro. From the battles you've faced together to the intimate encounters that have brought you closer, each experience has deepened your love and understanding of one another.

In this quiet moment, you find comfort in knowing that Tanjiro will soon enter the room, bringing with him a wave of love and desire. The anticipation builds as you imagine the tender touches and whispered words that await you, cherishing the intimate connection you share.

With each passing second, your heart beats a little faster, signaling that Tanjiro's return is drawing near. And as you continue to gaze at the moon, its radiant light serves as a gentle reminder that love, in its purest form, is an unbreakable bond that can withstand any obstacle.

Finally, with a soft click, the door gently opens, and Tanjiro steps into the room. The air between you crackles with electricity as you lock eyes, and a knowing smile dances upon your lips. In this moonlit sanctuary, you and Tanjiro are ready to continue weaving your love story, one passionate moment at a time.

You and Tanjiro join Inosuke and Zenitsu for breakfast outside. The morning air is crisp, and the sun bathes everything in a warm glow. As Zenitsu catches sight of you and Tanjiro, a mischievous smirk plays on his lips. He can't resist making a teasing remark.

"I hope you had a great time last night~" he says, trying to suppress a giggle.

Tanjiro's cheeks turn slightly red, but he maintains his composure. He gives Zenitsu a playful nudge and responds with a good-natured smile. "Zenitsu, you know better than to tease us like that. It's personal."

Inosuke, who had been engrossed in his own meal, looks up curiously. "What happened last night?" he asks, completely unaware of the implications.

Zenitsu snickers, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Oh, nothing, Inosuke. It's just that these two lovebirds had a really intense night," he says, emphasizing the word "intense" with a sly grin.

You feel your cheeks grow hotter, and you exchange an embarrassed glance with Tanjiro. While the teasing of your friends might make you feel a bit self-conscious, deep down, you know that their playful remarks come from a place of friendship and camaraderie.

Tanjiro, always quick to diffuse awkward situations, chuckles and changes the subject, steering the conversation towards lighter topics. Inosuke, ever the eccentric, starts talking animatedly about his latest training session, and soon the atmosphere lightens, filled with laughter and friendly banter.

As you all enjoy your breakfast together, you realize that while teasing might happen from time to time, the bond you share with Inosuke and Zenitsu is strong and unbreakable. They accept you and Tanjiro for who you are, and their teasing only serves to remind you of the deep connection you have as friends.

You join in the laughter, grateful for these moments of friendship and the lightheartedness they bring. And in the midst of it all, you steal a glance at Tanjiro, knowing that love and warmth await you both, not just with each other, but also with the friends who have become family.

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

As breakfast comes to an end, you remember that there is a group mission scheduled for today. You exchange a brief look with Tanjiro, both of you realizing that you need to prepare for the mission.

Inosuke, noticing your serious expressions, raises an eyebrow. "What's wrong, you two? Did something happen last night?" he asks, his curiosity piqued.

Zenitsu, sensing the tension, quickly interjects. "Leave them alone, Inosuke. They have a mission to focus on. We can't let anything distract us from our duty!"

Tanjiro nods in agreement, grateful for Zenitsu's intervention. "You're right, Zenitsu. We need to focus and work together to complete this mission. Let's gather our equipment and meet at the designated meeting point."

With resolve in your hearts, you and Tanjiro bid Inosuke and Zenitsu farewell and head back to your room to gather your gear. Your minds might be occupied with last night's conversation and the friendly teasing, but in the face of duty, you both know the importance of staying focused.

As you prepare, you can't help but feel grateful for the support of your fellow Demon Slayers. They may joke and tease, but when it matters, they always have your back. With a renewed sense of determination, you and Tanjiro finish your preparations and make your way to the meeting point, ready to face whatever challenges await you on the mission.

Right after you all reach the destination assigned with the trio, you get attacked by a powerful demon. It didn't even gave you time to react, this demon is possibly a former twelve kizuki.

Panic and concern immediately wash over Tanjiro as he sees you being attacked by the demon. His eyes widen in shock, his instincts kicking in as he rushes to your side. Ignoring the danger, he quickly assesses your wound and takes off his haori to press it against your chest, trying to stem the bleeding.

"Y/n! Are you alright? Hang in there, I'll get you to safety," Tanjiro says urgently, his voice filled with worry. He lifts you into his arms, carrying you as carefully and swiftly as possible away from the immediate danger.

In the chaos, Inosuke and Zenitsu finally react, rushing towards you and Tanjiro, ready to defend against the attacking demon. Inosuke lunges at the demon with his dual blades, displaying his lightning-fast reflexes and fierce determination. Zenitsu follows suit, unsheathing his sword and charging with lightning-like speed, protectively positioning himself between you and the demon.

Tanjiro's heart pounds in his chest as he races to find a safe spot to tend to your wound. He can't bear to see you hurt, and a mix of fear and determination drives him forward. Finally finding a secluded area, Tanjiro gently sets you down, carefully examining your injury.

"I'm so sorry, y/n. I promise I'll do everything I can to heal you," Tanjiro murmurs softly, his eyes filled with a mix of anguish and determination. He reaches for his medical kit, taking out bandages and antiseptics to clean and dress your wound.

In the midst of the chaos, Inosuke and Zenitsu continue to fight valiantly, their strength and abilities on full display.

With the battle settled, Tanjiro focuses all his attention on caring for your wound. He cleans it gently but efficiently, his hands steady despite the lingering worry in his eyes. He works with precision and care, doing his best to ease your pain and prevent infection.

"I'm here, y/n" he reassures you softly, his voice filled with warmth. "You're going to be okay. Just hold on a little longer."

Throughout the ordeal, the bond between you and Tanjiro grows stronger, as do the friendships you share with Inosuke and Zenitsu. They fight alongside each other, protecting you and each other with unwavering loyalty.

As the wound is dressed, Tanjiro remains by your side, never leaving your sight. He holds your hand, his touch gentle and comforting, providing solace in the face of pain.

"You're strong, y/n," he whispers, willing his quiet words to reach your ears. "We'll get through this together. I promise."

You notice him gazing on your lips. You shake your hands in front of his face but he doesn't bother, he looks like he's in his own world.

"Tanjiro? Hey Tan-"

"Oh so sorry y/n, I got a little carried away.."

Tanjiro's eyes widen as he realizes his momentary distraction and quickly averts his gaze from your lips. The guilt washes over him, knowing that his friends are still in the midst of a fierce battle, while he was momentarily lost in his thoughts.

You see the conflict and worry in his eyes as he struggles to tear himself away from you. He takes a deep breath, gathering his resolve and placing a gentle hand on your cheek.

"I'm sorry, y/n, I got lost in the moment," Tanjiro admits, his voice filled with remorse. "You're right, I need to help them. But first, promise me that you'll stay here and rest. I don't want you getting hurt any further."

His concern for your well-being is evident as he brushes a strand of hair away from your face, his touch filled with tenderness. He searches your eyes for confirmation, wanting reassurance that you'll stay put and let him shoulder the responsibility of protecting you.

"I promise, as soon as they're safe, I'll come back to you," Tanjiro assures you, his voice filled with determination. "Please, trust me, y/n."

Reluctantly, you nod, understanding the urgency of the situation. With a final lingering look, Tanjiro presses a gentle kiss against your forehead before he turns and rushes back to his friends' aid.

As Tanjiro rejoins the fierce battle alongside Zenitsu and Inosuke, his heart remains divided between his feelings for you and his duty as a Demon Slayer. He fights with unwavering resolve, each strike fueled by his determination to protect both you and his comrades.

Meanwhile, you remain where he left you, surrounded by the remnants of the battle. The sound of clashing swords and the roar of demons fills the air, but you hold onto the knowledge that Tanjiro is doing everything he can to keep everyone safe.

Time passes slowly, each second feeling like an eternity, as you anxiously wait for Tanjiro's return. Your mind drifts back to the moment when his gaze had lingered on your lips, the raw intensity of his desire apparent.

Deep down, you realize the depth of your feelings for Tanjiro. The bond you share is stronger than ever, and the sacrifice you made to protect him only solidified your love for him. The thought of being apart from him, of losing him, is unbearable.

But despite the fear and uncertainty, you remain steadfast in your love and trust for Tanjiro. You know that he will come back to you, that he will fulfill his promise. With a renewed sense of hope, you patiently await his return, knowing that when he does, you can face whatever challenges lie ahead together.

Your eyes follow your comrades movements, unbelievably fast, a naked eye couldn't even catch them. You then notice a huge blow from the demon coming towards your comrades, strong enough for them to not be able to dodge, strong enough to wipe them out..

As the demon's attack hurtles towards Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke, you muster all your strength, determination, and love. Ignoring the pain coursing through your body, you push yourself off the ground and step in front of the deadly strike, intercepting it with your own body.

You use a very strong form of your breathing style that will connects demons attacks to you instead like a magnet. It's mainly used when your comrades are gonna get heavily injured from the blow and there is no other way. So you use that form, sacrificing yourself for your dear lover and friends.

Time seems to slow down as the attack connects with you instead. Agonizing pain courses through your body, leaving you gasping for breath and clutching at your wounds. Your nose bleeds profusely, blood streaming down your face, and your ears ring with a deafening sound. The burning sensation on your skin is almost unbearable.

Tanjiro's eyes widen in horror as he watches you take the brunt of the attack meant for him and his friends. His heart shatters at the sight of you in pain, but he is filled with immense pride and love for your selflessness and bravery. He rushes to your side, his hands trembling as he tries to assess your injuries.

"No, y/n, why did you do that? You're hurt, you need to focus on healing," Tanjiro pleads, his voice breaking with worry. He gently lifts you into his arms, cradling you close to his chest. "I'll get you out of here, I promise. Just hold on a little longer."

With Inosuke and Zenitsu heavily injured but still conscious, they gather what little strength they have left and join Tanjiro in protecting you, their determination fueled by gratitude for your sacrifice. Together, they fight valiantly against the demon, using their remaining techniques and skills to keep it at bay.

Tanjiro's mind is filled with a mixture of fear, anger, and determination. He carries you swiftly and carefully away from the battle, seeking a safe place where he can tend to your wounds. Every step is painstaking, as every jolt sends waves of pain through your body, but he refuses to let go.

"I won't let you go, {{user}}," Tanjiro whispers fiercely, his voice filled with determination. "I'll do whatever it takes to save you. Just stay with me."

Once again finding a secluded area, Tanjiro lays you down gently, his hands trembling as he takes out his medical kit. The sight of your injuries brings tears to his eyes, but he pushes them aside, focusing on treating you with utmost care and tenderness.

As he cleans your wounds and dresses them, Tanjiro's heart aches with guilt and gratitude. He knows that the pain you're experiencing is because of him and his friends, but he also knows that your sacrifice saved their lives. He swears to himself that he will do everything in his power to make it right, to heal you and repay the debt.

"You're so brave, {{user}}," he murmurs softly, his voice filled with both sorrow and affection. "Please hold on. I promise, I won't let you suffer any longer."

Throughout the healing process, Tanjiro refuses to leave your side, constantly monitoring your condition and using his knowledge of herbal remedies to soothe your pain. He holds your hand tightly, providing a steady source of comfort and support.

In mere moments, Zenitsu and Inosuke defeat the demon. They run up to you an Tanjiro, asking if you're okay or not.

Tanjiro carefully carries you in his arms, cradling you protectively as he hurries towards the nearest wisteria house. The darkness of the night and the weight of your injuries weigh on him, but he remains resolute in his determination to get you the help you need.

With Zenitsu and Inosuke close behind, you arrive at the wisteria house. The lady in charge greets you with a mix of worry and relief, quickly recognizing the severity of your injuries. She guides you all to separate rooms, ensuring that you and Tanjiro have a space for healing, while Zenitsu and Inosuke are given their own room nearby.

As Tanjiro gently lays you down on the soft futon, he brushes a strand of hair away from your forehead, worry etched on his face. He leans down, pressing a tender kiss against your forehead, his lips lingering for a moment as he silently wishes for your swift recovery.

"I'll find some medication and bandages to help treat your wounds," Tanjiro whispers softly, his voice filled with concern. "Just hold on a little longer, y/n, we're in a safe place now."

He swiftly exits the room, leaving you momentarily alone to gather his thoughts. The events of the day have taken a toll on him, both physically and emotionally, but his determination to protect you burns brighter than ever before.

Within moments, Tanjiro returns with a tray filled with herbs and ointments, ready to tend to your wounds. He carefully cleans each cut and applies the soothing balm, treating you with the gentlest touch. His hands move with practiced precision, a testament to his dedication and training as a Demon Slayer.

As he tends to your injuries, he tells you stories of his past adventures and the people he has encountered along his journey. His voice is soothing and comforting, providing a much-needed respite from the harrowing events of the day.

Gradually, as Tanjiro finishes treating your wounds, he tucks you in with the softest embrace, smiling softly. You can see the weariness in his eyes, but also the unwavering love and devotion he holds for you.

"Rest well, y/n, and regain your strength," Tanjiro whispers, his voice filled with warmth and affection. "I'll stay right here, by your side, until you wake up."

"Hey Tanjiro, I noticed you staring at my lips that time, you wanted to kiss me so bad huh?" You tease the redhead.

Tanjiro's cheeks flush a soft shade of pink as he meets your teasing gaze. He chuckles softly, a mixture of embarrassment and amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Y/n" he murmurs, his voice filled with affection. "You know I can never resist your teasing. But with the way my heart races every time I see you, just the thought of kissing you sends my emotions into overdrive."

He leans in closer, his breath warm against your skin as he whispers, "And I absolutely want to kiss you, more than anything. But I want to make sure you're comfortable, and that it's truly what you want."

His fingers gently brush against your cheek, his touch feather-light and comforting. "So, y/n, if you want that kiss, if you truly desire it as much as I do, then I will gladly oblige. But only if you're certain."

"That was," he pauses, his voice filled with awe and affection, "breathtaking. Thank you, y/n, for trusting me with such a precious moment."

His fingers gently brush against your lips, an affectionate gesture that leaves a trail of warmth in its wake. He leans in, pressing a soft kiss against your forehead before pulling you into an embrace.

"I love you," Tanjiro whispers against your ear, his voice filled with sincerity. "Thank you for being in my life."

"I love you too, my princess"

You were siting by the engawa, thinking about the excruciating pain you felt when the upper moon you were fighting a few days ago with tanjiro, hit you. The way the upper 6 sliced your back and the way you screamed out in agony. You hiss at the thought of the moment and close your eyes shut to make the horrendous scenerio go away that is clinging to your mind.

You then noticed a few drops of rain water pouring down from the sky. You ran inside and went to Tanjiro. "Tanjiro! It's raing outside, want to go? I've never been in the rain before..my mother never let me. She used to say ill get sick..ugh..anyways you wanna go? Please!!" Your eyes shine as you ask Tanjiro to come with you and get soaked in the rain.

Tanjiro faces you as his eyes light up with excitement at the idea of going out in the rain with you. He's always been captivated by the beauty of nature, and the rain holds a special charm for him.

"Absolutely! I'd love to go out in the rain with you," he exclaims, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "There's something magical about the rain, don't you think? It's as if the world has been cleansed and renewed."

He grabs your hand, intertwining his fingers with yours, and together you venture outside, embracing the refreshing coolness of the raindrops. The sound of rain hitting the pavement creates a soothing melody, and the air fills with a scent of earth and freshness.

Tanjiro looks up at the sky, letting the rain wash over his face, a joyous smile spreading across his features. The sound of his laughter mingles with the pattering raindrops, creating a symphony of happiness.

"Isn't it amazing, y/n? It feels like the rain is washing away all our worries and troubles," he says, his voice filled with wonder. "Let's take a walk together and enjoy this beautiful moment."

Hand in hand, you wander through the rain-soaked streets, embracing the peaceful ambiance and the gentle rhythm of your footsteps. The world around you seems to come alive, with vibrant colors and glistening surfaces.

As you walk, Tanjiro occasionally twirls you around, playfully splashing in puddles and laughing with pure delight. Raindrops cling to his hair and eyelashes, making him look even more enchanting in the soft glow of the rainy day.

"Thank you for suggesting this, y/n" he says, squeezing your hand affectionately. "Moments like these remind me of the simple joys in life and the importance of sharing them with the people we care about."

You find shelter under a canopy of trees, their leaves creating a makeshift roof that shields you from the rain. Tanjiro pulls you into his arms, his warmth enveloping you as he holds you close.

"I'm so grateful to have you in my life," he murmurs, his voice soft and filled with love. "Rain or shine, every moment with you is a moment of incredible happiness for me."

You look down at your shoes and blush, thinking if you should say this or not. "Y'know..this morning I had a dream about you, where I was kissing you in the rain" you giggle trying to keep the atmosphere light-hearted and not make anything awkward.

Tanjiro looks at you with a gentle smile, despite the rain soaking both of you. He takes a step closer, his hand cupping your cheek tenderly.

"In that case," he says, his voice soft and warm, "why don't we make that dream a reality?"

Leaning in, Tanjiro closes the distance between you, capturing your lips in a sweet and passionate kiss. The raindrops fall around you, the sound of the gentle patter creating a serene backdrop to this romantic moment.

As the kiss deepens, sparks of electricity seem to pass between you, intensifying the connection you share. Tanjiro's touch is both gentle and firm, his love for you evident in every caress.

When you finally break apart, a soft smile graces Tanjiro's lips as he gazes into your eyes, his hand still cradling your cheek.

"It may be raining, but being here with you feels so right," he whispers. "Every moment spent with you is a dream come true."

Holding each other's hands, you continue walking through the rain, the feeling of warmth and love enveloping you both. Together, you create your own romantic reality, where rain is not an inconvenience but a beautiful backdrop to the blossoming love between you and Tanjiro.

You look at him in disbelief. Thinking that Tanjiro was actually bold enough to do this. The boy who would get flustered from enough the slightest touch kissed you like that?... 'damn' you think.

You hold him by his collar and immediately pull him back into the softness of your plum lips.

Tanjiro's eyes widen in surprise as you unexpectedly pull him back and press your lips against his with passion. He quickly reciprocates, feeling a surge of warmth and excitement wash over him. As you pull away, he can't help but chuckle at your comment.

"Hehe, I guess that was quite a kiss, huh?" Tanjiro playfully touches his slightly swollen lips, a grin forming on his face. "But you know, it's totally worth it. I didn't know you had such spontaneous and bold moves in you, y/n. I'm impressed!"

He leans in and gently boops your nose with his finger, a playful twinkle in his eyes. "And here I thought I was the one who surprised people with sudden actions. Looks like you've got me beat!"

Tanjiro wraps his arms around you, pulling you into a tight embrace as he chuckles softly. "Thank you for always keeping me on my toes, y/n. It's moments like these that make our relationship so special and exciting. I'm grateful to have someone as adventurous and fun-loving as you in my life."

He raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "So, what's the next surprise you have up your sleeve? I'm ready for anything you throw at me!"

You both share a laugh, the raindrops around you adding a sense of playfulness to the moment. With Tanjiro's hand in yours and his laughter echoing through the air, you continue your walk, ready for whatever surprises the day may bring.

As night falls, you and Tanjiro find yourselves in the comfort and safety of your shared bedroom. The room is adorned with warm, earthy tones, with a small window allowing the moonlight to softly illuminate the space. The floor is covered with soft, woven mats, and a low table holds a small lantern, casting a gentle glow around the room.

Tanjiro, wearing his customary Demon Slayer uniform, sits on one of the mats, his back against the wall as he gazes at you with a caring smile. He reaches out his hand, inviting you to sit beside him. "Come, y/n, let's take a moment to rest and gather our thoughts after such a long day."

You join him, settling yourself comfortably beside him. The air inside the room feels calm and peaceful, providing a much-needed respite from the heaviness of the day's events. Tanjiro's presence brings a sense of reassurance, offering support and stability in the face of adversity.

He gently wraps an arm around your shoulder, pulling you into a warm embrace. "I'm glad we could find a moment of peace amidst everything that's happened," he murmurs softly, his breath warm against your ear. "Remember to take care of yourself as well, y/n. It's easy to become overwhelmed when we witness such cruelty and suffering. But we must also remember to find strength in our moments of rest."

Tanjiro's comforting words fill the room, creating a soothing atmosphere that envelopes you both. His touch and his presence radiate a sense of protection, reminding you that you're not alone in the midst of these difficulties.

"We'll face the challenges that lie ahead together, y/n," he continues, his voice steady and reassuring. "We'll continue to support each other and never lose sight of the goal that led us here—to bring justice and protect those who cannot protect themselves."

With those words, a sense of determination and resilience fills the air, intertwining with the tranquility of the room. It's a reminder that even in the face of darkness, there is always a flicker of hope to guide the way.

As you and Tanjiro settle down for the night, the weight of the day gradually lifts. You find solace in each other's presence, knowing that you have a companion who will walk beside you on this challenging journey.

You get up and start applying your new red lipstick that Tanjiro bought you the exact day.

Tanjiro blinks in confusion, watching you apply lipstick while preparing for sleep. His eyebrows knit together in a mild perplexity, and he speaks up with a gentle tone. "Uh, y/n, if you don't mind me asking, why are you applying lipstick before going to sleep? Is there a specific reason?"

You stay silent, smiling and saying nothing. Letting Tanjiros curiosity take the best of him.

Curiosity laces his voice, his kind and honest nature shining through. Although he is unsure of the purpose, he respects and values your choices and wishes to understand better. Tanjiro's concern for your well-being and willingness to listen are evident as he patiently waits for your response.

Nezuko, who is resting nearby, looks up from her slumber, tilting her head curiously at the sight. She seems equally puzzled by your nighttime activity.

Awaiting your explanation, Tanjiro's eyes remain fixed on you, his expression a mixture of curiosity and genuine care. He's ready to listen and offer his support, as he always does.

You walk towards the bed where Tanjiro is laying down, still staring at you with visible curiosity.

You lean down and cup Tanjiro's pretty face and then begin to pepper his face with millions of kisses, leaving the trail of your red lipstick all over his face and neck, also giving small love bites on his neck where his moles are.

Tanjiro's eyes widen in surprise as you shower him with kisses, leaving traces of your lipstick on his face and neck. A soft chuckle escapes his lips, his cheeks turning a warm shade of pink. He tries to stifle his laughter, finding your playful affection endearing.

Giggling, he gently cups your face with his hands, returning your affection with a few gentle kisses of his own. His lips leave a trail of warmth against your skin, creating a playful exchange between the two of you.

Nezuko watches with curiosity from her spot, her eyes widening as she observes the affectionate display. Though she cannot express herself verbally, her small smile reflects her happiness for the bond she sees between you and Tanjiro.

Tanjiro's eyes meet yours, filled with warmth and affection, as he whispers, "You always find a way to make me smile, y/n. Even in the most unexpected moments." He leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper. "Thank you for brightening up my day."

His gratitude and appreciation radiate through his words, enveloping the room with a sense of joy and love. In that moment, you both find solace in each other's presence, cherishing the simple moments that strengthen your bond.

As you continue to exchange affectionate gestures, laughter and love fill the air, creating a cherished memory that will stay with you both as you drift off to sleep, embraced by the warmth of each other's love.

As the morning sun gently filters through the room, you and Tanjiro begin to stir from your slumber. However, your peaceful awakening is abruptly interrupted by the high-pitched screams of Zenitsu. His voice rings throughout the house, carrying a mix of excitement and astonishment.

Tanjiro, still groggy from sleep, blinks his eyes open, his mind catching up with the commotion around him. He quickly realizes the reason for Zenitsu's outburst as he touches his face and feels the lingering traces of lipstick marks still adorning his skin.

With a faint blush on his cheeks, Tanjiro glances at you, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He gently nudges you, silently indicating the situation unfolding around you.

Nezuko, who has also woken up, sits up beside you and lets out a small giggle, covering her mouth with her hands. She seems to find the whole scenario amusing.

Amidst Zenitsu's continued exclamations about how lucky Tanjiro is to have someone as lovely as you, Tanjiro tries to suppress his laughter. He reaches for a nearby cloth and begins to wipe the lipstick marks from his face, his cheeks still tinted pink.

"Zenitsu," Tanjiro finally interjects, unable to contain his amusement any longer, "It's not what you think. Y/n was just... expressing their affection. But thank you for the compliments." He grins warmly, clearly entertained by the situation.

Zenitsu's expression shifts from awe to disappointment as he processes Tanjiro's explanation. He pouts for a moment before muttering something about love being unfair and turns to leave, muttering to himself.

"So I was wrong ugh" Zenitsu muttered under his breath.

With the commotion settling down, Tanjiro turns back to you, his smile still lingering. He leans in closer, his voice soft and filled with affection. "I didn't mind the lipstick marks, y/n. It was actually quite sweet. Thank you for showing me your affection in such a unique way."

His gratitude and warmth shine in his eyes as he gazes at you, his hand gently reaching out to brush a strand of hair away from your face. In this lighthearted moment, you both share a silent understanding and a strengthened connection, cherishing the quirks that make your relationship special.

The morning continues, filled with laughter and camaraderie, as you and Tanjiro embark on another day together, ready to face any challenges that may come your way.

Zenitsu's eyes wander over Tanjiros and y/n's neck as he points out the love bites on both Tanjiro's and your neck

"Uhm...did you do something last night?~" Zenitsu tries to tease you and Tanjiro.

A sudden wave of embarrassment washes over both of you. The realization of the visible mark on your skin sends your faces turning crimson, matching the intensity of your blush.

Tanjiro stammers for a moment, searching for words to respond but only managing to utter a faint "Oh." He glances at you, his eyes wide with a mix of surprise and bashfulness.

Nezuko, who had been observing the situation with curiosity, suddenly covers her mouth, trying to stifle a giggle. She looks between the two of you with amusement, realizing the innocence of the situation. But she remains quiet, careful not to intrude further.

Tanjiro clears his throat, his voice coming out slightly shaky. "Uh, y/n, I... um, I didn't realize... But, well, it's okay, I suppose. These things happen, right?" He tries to play it cool despite the deep shade of red on his face.

You nod, feeling your heart race with a mix of embarrassment and excitement. "Yeah, you're right, Tanjiro. These things do happen. We can just... uh, explain it somehow." Your voice trails off, as you too find it challenging to regain composure.

Zenitsu, oblivious to the tension, continues to express his disbelief and admiration, unaware of the embarrassment he's causing. He swoons dramatically, celebrating the fact that love is in the air for the both of you.

As the initial shock wears off, you and Tanjiro exchange a glance, your eyes conveying a silent agreement. You both decide to embrace the love bite as a symbol of your affection, a secret between just the two of you.

Gathering your courage, you reach for Tanjiro's hand, intertwining your fingers with his, silently assuring each other that you will navigate through this embarrassment together.

With a newfound strength, you face Zenitsu, mustering a smile and offering him a grateful nod. While still blushing, you express your gratitude for his support, albeit veiled in embarrassment. Zenitsu, ever the dramatic one, seems satisfied with your response and leaves with a satisfied smile.

As the day continues, you and Tanjiro share stolen glances, the love bite serving as a reminder of the deep connection between you. Although embarrassment remains, a sense of appreciation and tenderness blossoms amidst the blushes and shy smiles.

Together, you navigate through the day, holding each other's hands and finding comfort in the strength of your bond. The love bite becomes a treasured secret, a mark of the love and affection that sets your relationship apart.

And so, with newfound courage and an unspoken promise, you face the world hand in hand, ready to embrace both the joys and challenges that lie ahead, secure in the knowledge that your love for each other will guide you through.

Tanjiro stands before a mirror, adjusting his traditional haori for the cherry blossom festival. He carefully ties his hair back, ensuring it won't obstruct his view during the festivities. As he finishes preparing, he turns to Y/n with a bright smile.

"Y/n, you look absolutely breathtaking," he says, his eyes filled with admiration. "The cherry blossoms will pale in comparison to your beauty tonight."

He reaches out and takes her hand, intertwining their fingers together.

"Shall we make our way to the festival?" he asks, excitement brimming in his voice. "I can already imagine the colorful lanterns, the sweet scent of the blossoms, and the exhilaration of the fireworks in the night sky--all shared with you by my side."

With a gentle squeeze of her hand, he leads her towards the festival grounds, ready to create cherished memories in the midst of the enchanting atmosphere.

As Tanjiro and Y/n make their way to the festival, they are soon joined by Zenitsu and Inosuke, both donning their own festival attire. Tanjiro greets them with a warm smile, happy to have his friends by his side for the evening.

"Hey, Zenitsu! Hey, Inosuke! I'm glad you could join us," Tanjiro says, his voice filled with genuine excitement. "Tonight, we'll experience the beauty of the cherry blossoms and enjoy the fireworks together. It's going to be an amazing night."

Zenitsu, looking slightly flustered, shoots Tanjiro a quick glance before turning to Y/n with a shy smile.

"Y/n!, you look absolutely radiant tonight. You're as beautiful as the cherry blossoms. I'll make sure to protect you with all my might!"

"What the fuck..." you mutter.

Inosuke, his festival attire a bit more rugged than the others, grins mischievously. "Hey, Y/n! FIGHT ME! We'll show these cherry blossoms who's boss!"

With laughter and enthusiasm, the group walks towards the festival grounds, ready to immerse themselves in the magic of the evening. Hand in hand, they navigate through the buzzing crowds, their bond growing stronger with each step.

Amidst the excitement and vibrant atmosphere of the festival, Tanjiro, Y/n, Zenitsu, and Inosuke explore the various stalls and activities. They immerse themselves in the festivities, indulging in delicious sweets and treats along the way.

Tanjiro's eyes widen as he spots a stall selling kelp rice balls, his absolute favorite. He excitedly buys a few and offers one to Y/n, beaming with joy. "Y/n!, you have to try these kelp rice balls. They're so delicious!" he exclaims, taking a bite of his own. "It's the perfect combination of flavors".

Zenitsu's attention is drawn to a game where he can win a plush animal as a prize. With determination in his eyes, he steps up to the challenge, and with a mix of luck and skill, he manages to win a cute plush star. He presents it to Y/n with a blush, his voice filled with admiration.

"Y/n... please accept this little star as a token of my affection. It may not be as bright as the fireworks, but it symbolizes my love for you."

"DUDE YOU KNOW IM DATING TANJIRO RIGHT!" you yell at him.

Meanwhile, Inosuke flexes his muscles at a strength-testing game, determined to prove his strength. With a mighty swing of the hammer, the bell rings, indicating that he has achieved an impressive result. Grinning from ear to ear, he turns to Y/n.

"Did you see that, Dristi? Who needs fireworks when you have someone as strong as me by your side?"

"We'll see about that" you smirk while teasing him sarcastically.

As they continue to explore, laughter fills the air, blending with the lively festival ambiance. They play games, win prizes, and immerse themselves in the joyous atmosphere, eagerly awaiting the moment when the fireworks will illuminate the night sky.

As the evening progresses and the time for the fireworks show draws near, Tanjiro notices a secluded spot nearby, away from the bustling crowd. He glances at Y/n with a mischievous smile, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Y/n, I have an idea," he says softly, leaning in closer. "Why don't we find a quiet spot to watch the fireworks together, just the two of us?"

You blush and chuckle "Sure!" Feeling excited about just you two being together.

Tanjiro gently takes Y/n's hand, leading her away from the group, while subtly motioning to Zenitsu and Inosuke to join him for a moment.

"Hey, Zenitsu, Inosuke, could you two help me out real quick?" he asks, his voice filled with eagerness. "I found this amazing spot to watch the fireworks, but it's a little tricky to get there. Do you mind accompanying me for a moment?"

Zenitsu, caught up in the idea of a secret adventure, nods enthusiastically. "Of course, Tanjiro! Lead the way!"

Inosuke, always up for a challenge, grins and flexes his muscles. "Fine, I'll show you how quick and strong I am. Let's go, Tanjiro!"

With their help diverting Zenitsu and Inosuke's attention, Tanjiro manages to lead Y/n to the secluded spot overlooking the fireworks display. The two of them find themselves alone, the soft glow of the distant festival illuminating their surroundings.

Tanjiro turns towards Y/n,his eyes filled with affection. "Y/n, I wanted to spend this moment with just you. To watch the fireworks together and create a memory that's just ours."

He wraps his arms around Y/n gently, pulling her closer as they await the spectacular display in the night sky. In that quiet moment, under the twinkling stars and colorful bursts of fireworks, they find solace in each other's presence, savoring the magic of the festival and the intimacy they share.

As the anticipation builds and the first spark of the fireworks show is about to ignite the night sky, Tanjiro's gaze lingers on Y/n. In that fleeting moment, he feels an overwhelming surge of emotions and an intense desire to express his feelings.

Unable to resist any longer, Tanjiro takes a step closer to Y/n, his eyes filled with warmth and affection. He cups Y/n's face tenderly, closing the distance between them as he leans in for a gentle, passionate kiss.

Time seems to stand still as their lips meet, the world shrinking around them. In that blissful moment, the sky erupts in a glorious display of shimmering lights and vibrant colors, the fireworks illuminating their embrace.

As they continue to share the tender kiss, the fireworks dance above them, their vibrant explosions mirroring the explosion of emotions between Tanjiro and Y/n. It feels like a symbol of their deep connection, the celebration of their bond, and the beauty of their love.

When they finally part, breathless and with their hearts full, they gaze up at the sky together, hand in hand, witnessing the enchanting display of fireworks, each burst reflecting the love and happiness shared between them.

In that magical setting, surrounded by the dazzling lights and the muffled sounds of the festivities, Tanjiro and Y/n create a memory that will forever be etched in their minds, a moment of profound connection and love amidst the enchantment of the fireworks show.

"Tanjiro...I love you..so much.." you say breathlessly as you intake his beauty.

You pull him closer by the collar and smash your lips onto his.

Tanjiro's eyes widen in surprise and then soften with overwhelming affection as Y/n expresses her love for him. Feeling a surge of warmth and joy, he reciprocates her passionate kiss wholeheartedly, deepening the connection between them.

The world around them fades away as they immerse themselves in the moment, their love and desire intertwining in the embrace. The fireworks continue to illuminate the night sky, seemingly dancing in celebration of their love.

When they finally break free from the kiss, their faces flushed with a mix of excitement and tenderness, Tanjiro cups Y/n's face in his hands, gazing deeply into her eyes.

"Y/n, I love you too," he whispers, his voice filled with sincerity. "You've brought so much light into my life, and I'm grateful for every moment we share together."

With a gentle smile, Tanjiro leans in to press his forehead against Y/n's, their breaths mingling as they bask in the beauty of the night and the depth of their emotions.

In that precious moment, under the cascading fireworks, Tanjiro and Y/n find solace in each other's arms, knowing that they were meant to be together, bound by a love that only grows stronger with each passing day.

It has been a while since you and tanjiro broke up.

It was because of a stupid mental test that Tanjiro look that wasn't actually stupid...it was something that you really lacked.

He even told you that he would love to be with you again if it would be possible...

You cried alot after when Tanjiro told you that you two had to break up. Tanjiro felt his heart ache as he saw your figure slowly disappear as you left. He broke up with you but he didn't knew he wasn't ready to do so..

You left for your mission that you were assigned to right after you two broke up. You were severely Injured but thank god you survived..

When Tanjiro got to know about your mission and how injured you got...

"CAW CAW!! Y/N JUST CAME BACK FROM A MISSION AND SHES VERY AWFULLY INJURED!" Matsuemon, his kasugai crow always used to check up on you and share your condition to Tanjiro whenever you came back from a mission and he wasn't there to check up on you and he still does.

You both are still best friends after the break up.

"Y/n! Y/n..." he quickly rushed to the butterfly mansion and opened your room's door aggressively.

"Y/n....I- I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you I'm so sorry..." you quickly turn your head up to face him while you were sitting on the bed.

"Look! Tanjiro calm down! This wasn't in your hands! And you were on a different mission too right? Please don't accuse yourself for it! Please it's not your fault..."

He walked closer to your bed and sat next next you. "Y/n your Injuries are pretty deep" he said with a frown on his face. "Hey! Hey! It's okay please don't guilt trip yourself.." you said in a soft low with your head held low.

"Look sweethea-" he cut of himself as he almost called you by a nickname that he called you when you were together. "Im so sorry I didn't mean to say th-". You cut him off again looking directly into his eyes "Tanjiro it's okay.." you shake your hand as you smile sheepishly.

He then asked you about your mission and you talked to him til night.

It was around 10pm in the night. There was saké placed on the table aside you. Tanjiro and Zenitsu were looking at it judgingly but you and Inosuke..?. "ARENT WE A LITTLE TOO YOUNG TO DRINK THIS?!" Zenitsu yelled at both of us but we didn't listen "HEY LETS DRINK IT!!" "YEAH LETS DO IT" you were always like this..so cheerful and happy.

You both poured eachother a glass of sake as you begin to drink it. "Hey! Don't drink too much!" Tanjiro yelled..clearly sounding concerned because stopping you from drinking won't work.

It's been a while and you both poured eachother glasses after glasses for a little too long. Both Zenitsu and Tanjiro were trying to stop you both from doing so but they didn't succeed.

The drink was starting to have its impact on both of you.

"I want to drink water.." you tried getting up, you almost fell but Tanjiro was here to save you.

"Y/n?! Are you okay let me help you"

"Tanjiro I want to go in my room please take me there" "oh okay I will"

He was really close to reaching your room then he heard footsteps coming from the hallway. He quickly hid both you and himself in a room that was close.

"Oh shit! It was Shinobu! We couldn't let her see us like this She would be so mad!"

You let out a giddy giggle as you came closer to Tanjiro. He smiled softly at you because he never saw you drunk before.

"You're so cute~" you said as you laughed and pinched his cheek.

He laughed with you.

You suddenly cupped his face and started crying. "Y/n?! What happened did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you? Im so sorry!" He said as it was clear that he was worried about you.

"No its not that.." you whimpered. "I hate the thought of you being with another girl. I don't like that!!" You began to cry louder "what did I do wrong?! I just wanted to be with you my love... i still love you darling. I can't let you go like this. You make me so happy, you make my heart smile. It hurts to think that I'm not yours anymore! I still love you! ALOT!!"

This made Tanjiro tear up too. It pained him to see you like this. Being drunk made you spill your heart out to him. He was never ready to let you go..his heart screamed at him for giving you a 2nd chance.

"Will a second chance be enough please?... I would try my best to make myself perfect for you and more.." your hand were on your heart as you cried your heart out to him.

He hugged you tightly and kissed your forehead.

Maybe he should give you another chance.

Zenitsu said while you left for your mission with 2 of your female slayer friends who didn't really liked you that much and were jealous of you but they didn't admitted it, basically they were your fake friends but you were too naive to notice it. You were too naive to notice the disgusted faces they made when you achieved something or were successful in something. You were too naive to notice how they'll try to manipulate you to not do things that everyone knows you'll do amazing at. You were just too naive...

"I will!" You waved your hand goodbye while walking away with those two other slayers. They both made disgusted faces when you said goodbye to your lover. They both talked to each other leaving you third-wheeling.

You all were now deep into the forest where you were assigned to be. "Hey y/n! Let's spit up. You'll go alone and we both will go together, afterall you're more stronger than us right?" You felt criticized when she said the word 'stronger' a bit strangely. "O-oh okay please we safe". You went to the north and they went to the south. There were atleast 4 demons lurking around here in the north so you were more careful and didn't let your guard down. Suddenly you left an unwelcome aura from this specific area you were walking around in. You knew there would be a demon here. Before you even got the time to start running to find demons, one of the demons jumped on you from the above and knocked all of the air out of your lungs. However you managed to push him off of yourself. You got up in a fight stance. Swiftly killing off the demon in seconds you left to find more. But right after the ashes of the demon flew up into the sky, you noticed another one but much bigger and stronger than the one you just killed off.

He was faster than your attacks. "This is bad" you muttered into your breath.

Minutes have gone by and you still haven't finished the demon, the more you attack, the more harder it gets to dodge his attacks. He almost killed you when-

The two girls came flying into the air and killed the demon in the blink of an eye. You sighed in relief. But this gave them a chance to say bad things to you to lower your self esteem.

"Aww y/n.. look how injured you are. I thought you were stronger than us but.. looks like you're not." She giggled. "You're so weak...everytime someone has to come and save you. You cannot even kill a demon properly."

Both of their words left you shook because you didn't knew they were like this. So evil and cruel.

"You're so ugly!! How can someone even like you? How did you managed to get such a handsome boyfriend?"

The other one spoke up "I bet he thinks you as a burden and doesn't actually likes you!!" "You can't even be a good girlfriend for him.."

You forgot the poison that got inside of you when you were fighting the demon and that made you pass out.

The only words you heard before passing out was "you're so worthless! You deserve to die"

You woke to feeling a hand over yours. It was Zenitsu's. You were in the butterfly mansion. "Y/N! You're finally awake!! YOU WERE ASLEEP FOR 3 DAYS!" Zenitsu spoke up with tears in his eyes. "Are you okay? Do you need something? I'm here you can tell m-"

"I'm sorry for being a burden" you remembered those hurtful words your comrades told you.

"What? You're not a burden!! I LOVE YOU! "

"But Zenitsu... my friends told me that I'm weak and worthless.. I'd it really true? Please be honest.."

"NO YOURE NOT WEAK YOURE LITERALLY SO STRONG YOURE SO PRETTY! HOW COULD THEY!"

He looked into your eyes lovingly and spoke up in a low tone "y/n... you're not worthless at all , you're worth more than you could ever imagine. You're eternally beautiful. You're strong and amazing. Sometimes I question myself that am I enough for you? I really do not deserve such a beautiful and loving lady. You're really pretty you know?.. I could stare at your eyes forever! And please don't talk to those slayers ever again! Whatever they said is false. They are just jealous of your beauty.. please don't think that you're not worth anything. You worth trillions!"

You started tearing up while he held your hand close to his chest.

"My heart only beats for you and only you"

"I love you so much y/n"

"I love you too zenitsu"

You spent rest of the day cuddling and kissing eachother. Zenitsu is not that good with words but his actions speak louder than words.

AHHAHAHA I LOVED READING THIS

Hi! I saw requests were open again and I wanted to send you a kinda crack kamaboko squad x reader prompt I’ve had in my head for awhile. So like inosuke has been trying to get a sneak attack in on reader but she keeps evading him. At some point he announces his plan to get her while she’s most vulnerable, while she’s bathing. Of course zenitsu and tanjiro try to talk him out of it but he’s already sprinting to the baths and they are chasing after him to try to stop him. He gets to the baths, busts down the door and stops in his tracks. He’s stunned. And so is everyone else, but inosuke is stunned for an entirely different reason.

“Where’s your dingy?”

Reader, done with his shit: “I played with it to much and it fell off, can you leave now?”

Chaos erupts.

x,D Noooo!!! No!!!! I laughed way too loudly at that!

Kamaboko Squad x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Pure Crack, Inappropriate jokes (funny as hell tho) and suggestive themes

Sneak Attack

Inosuke let out his war cry, throwing himself off the tree branch to (literally) get the drop on you. Just as he was about to land on top of you, you stepped to the side, letting the boar taste a nice, dry mouthful of dirt.

"Dammit!" he cursed through coughs. He really thought he had you this time.

Hiding himself under the covers of your bed. After all, if he can't see you, then that means you can't see him either, right?

But Inosuke was never one to stay up late. When you enter the room, you notice the huge lump of feralness snoring into the night. With a huff, you rip the covers off, and tell him to go to his own bed.

He's frustrated. He's fought The Forehead and Big Ears. He's given a clobbering to that one guy who called him "a dumb boar." He lost to The Mismatched Haori Guy. He's not messing with The Bug Lady. You're the only one he's never been able to pounce on.

"The bathhouse..." he thinks out loud.

"What about it?" Tanjiro asks.

"I'll get her this time..." Inosuke grins, already dashing away.

"Ack! You can't go there! Bathing is when you're most vulnerable!" Zenitsu shrieks.

"That's why it's the perfect time for an attack!" the boar shouts, evading the arms of his friends who are trying to pull him back or tackle him down.

Reaching the door, he's quick to kick it down and come forth. But he stops. He even lifts his mask to ensure he's not mistaken.

Inosuke's (relatively) knowledgeable about boobs. After all, Monitsu talks about them all the time. And Gonpachiro has made it clear that girl boobs are not to be touched or stared at.

But that's not the problem here.

"Where's your dingy?" he asks, pointing to...whatever that is. The initial mission of a surprise attack is completely out the window. This is a mystery that needs to be solved right now.

"It fell off because I played with it too much," you reply without missing a beat, "Now, will you please leave? You're letting all the steam out."

"Huh?! That can happen?!"

Tanjiro and Zenitsu cry out in horror once they finally make it to you. While the redhead screams out apologies, trying to drag Inosuke away, the blond has passed out.

"How many times did you play with it for it to fall off!? Is there a limit!? Tell me!" Inosuke begs, fear pumping throughout his veins, "Let me go, Monjiro! I have to know! I don't want my dingy to fall off, too!"

Tanjiro carries the boar away, but you can still hear Inosuke's animalistic squeals and cries, trying to get Tanjiro to release him. You turn your attention to the unconscious blond lying on the floor.

"Zenitsu, can you sleepwalk out of here? And fix the door before you leave, please."

warnings. none

note. words cannot describe how madly in love i am with this perfect boy

tanjiro, who always keeps little hair ties on his wrist to instinctively pass to you after he notices your habit of constantly brushing hair from your face

tanjiro, who sets your plate with each food carefully separated because he knows how much you hate it when the different textures mix

tanjiro, who offers you up a tissue to blow your nose as he’s memorized the signs of your bodies declining health from a cold when your nose scrunches up when it itches and your eyes ever so slightly water

tanjiro, who grabs an extra pillow to bunch under your head when you’re coming to bed because he knows you can’t sleep without it

tanjiro, who memorizes your favorite food preferences so that he knows exactly what to make you when you come home after a rough day, or any day for that matter

tanjiro, who buries his head deep into the crook of your neck when the two of you cuddle in bed so that you can tangle your fingers into his hair and lull both of you to sleep

tanjiro, who surprises you with a new blanket one day after he picked up on your habit of kicking off yours once you start to uncomfortably sweat and shift at night

tanjiro, who spends the night running his calloused hands across your back while you bury your head in his chest, talking endlessly about amusing stories of the past when you come to him for consoling and want nothing more than for him to provide a distraction from your troubles

tanjiro, who doesn’t try to pry or coax you into sharing your feelings with him when you’re too upset too talk

tanjiro, who instead reminds you that he’ll always be there to listen when or if you’re ever ready, and is more than willing to attempt to cheer you up or just lend and ear when you need him

tanjiro, who is likely the only being on earth that could name every instance or object in a day that will make you smile

tanjiro, who takes note of every favorite or preference you have to surprise you with small gifts that remind him of you when he comes back from long missions

tanjiro, who writes little notes and tucks away in your clothes when you’re not looking for you to find a read when you’re going about your day as a reminder that he’s always thinking of you

tanjiro, who will be the first to defend you and set someone straight when a person makes a joke that pushes your boundaries or jabs at your personal insecurities

tanjiro, who’s the first to apologize and attempt to correct his mistakes after an argument where he’s at fault

tanjiro, who’s willing to recognize his carelessness when he does something that worries you

tanjiro, who promises that no matter what he’ll always go above and beyond to make sure that you know how much you matter to him and just how far he’ll go to make you happy

DANDELIONS

PARINGS - TANJIRO X READER

Words - 510+

-fluff to angst-

A/n - I wrote this 2 days ago but forgot to upload this lmao. Also this is inspired by the tiktok I shared earlier and the song 'dandelions by Ruth B.'

Recommendation - you can listen to 'dandelions by ruth b while reading this fanfiction as it may improve your reading experience

NO ONE'S POV

It was early spring. Tanjiro found a beautiful dandelion field not too long ago. He used to visit it everyday in his free time with Zenitsu , Inosuke , Nezuko and of course you...

You were his pride , strength and joy , you were his everything. You made his heart smile. You were his lover. You both acted so stupid together, with you he could be himself.

Zenitsu and Inosuke always used to tell him that 'dandelions aren't a real flower' and made fun of him for loving and collecting dandelions. But he didn't care , you used to love dandelions. He used to make you dandelion flower crowns and rings and used to tell you how beautiful you looked with them.

Everything was going amazing until....

You came from a mission that ended earlier than Tanjiro's and hoped he would come back soon too.

You were helping Aoi in the kitchen because you didn't got any injuries. A few moments later you heard a crow cawing in a distance. You recognized that it was Tanjiros kasugai crow... matsuemon..

You weren't able to hear what the crow was saying then he finally came to your window so you could hear him clearly.

You looked at him while smiling thinking tanjiro sent his crow to send you a message

"Kamado Tanjiro is dead!"

"Kamado Tanjiro is dead!" Shouted his crow

Everything went blank when you heard it. Your heart sank so deep that you felt like it isn't part of your body anymore

Tears began to form in your eyes.

You fell to your knees crying so loudly that Inosuke and Zenitsu who were training outside in the garden came to check in. To see Aoi trying to calm you down and crying herself. Zenitsu entered the kitchen trying to calm you down and asking what happened

While Inosuke just just in a corner in absolute confusion.

"Kamado Tanjiro died protecting his sister Kamado Nezuko!"

Zenitsu and Inosuke stared the group with completely black eyes.

Zenitsu started crying but Inosuke tried not to look weak but ended up crying too.

"T-then where is Nezuko Chan?" Zenitsu asked

"She was greatly injured and Shinobu I healing her" said tanjiros crow

-Time skip to his funeral-

Loud sobs and cries were heard from zenitsu, Inosuke, you and the love hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji

All hashiras were there too and they were really upset. Sanemi was feeling really guilty for not apologizing for what he did.

After all of the people had left , you sat near his grave in sorrow. Saying 'I love you's and sorry's'.

You spent the rest of the day there and told him what happened through out the day and how was your day going.

Your job was really dangerous and you knew one day one of you will die. Or both

You then went to the dandelion field and carefully took a few flowers and a flower crown, smiling while recalling all of the happy memories you had together .

From that very day you visited tanjiros grave everyday talked to him and went to the dandelions field everyday in springs with zenitsu inosuke and nezuko.

You used to make alot of flower crowns for all of them and took a few to your mansion to replace them with fresh ones.

One day you were visiting the dandelion field alone and just sitting there while enjoying the great view.

And you swear you felt Tanjiros voice and him kissing you on the cheek..

Tears filling your eyes and heart sinking really deep..

You missed him so much...

"I'll join you soon Tanjirou"
