Dating Zenitsu hcs ! - enjoy :)
Tumblr media
❧☙
- when first dating zenitsu he would always ask you to marry him and even. wrote you two started dating. your answer is always “Well get married, some day.”
- he will ALWAYS blush around you and give you small compliments cause he ACTUALLY has feelings for you and gets nervous pretty easily
- when you first hold his hand he is a little overwhelmed and he gasps with his face a bright red and his eyes widened
- and for your guy’s first kiss (on the cheek) he will blush but try and keep it cool when he kisses you back but when you first kissed his cheek you noticed he closed his eyes shut tight
- BUT when you two have you first real kiss he is over the moon in love with you like- he cannot stop loving you after this and best believe he will ask for you hand in marriage afterwards
- during you two’s first kiss he will be sloppy and will definitely not know what he is doing so you go in first
- and dates this this man are everything, he will always make sure that it all goes according to plan. he will have it all ready planned out in his head and make sure you have a good time
- no matter if it’s a dinner date, a date at a carnival or smth he will ALWAYS make sure your happy
- and when your on your period he will do lots and lots of research and bring you hot packs for cramps, will bring you your favorite foods and snacks and drinks.
- if you two go on a mission together he will hide behind you but as soon as he falls asleep he is protecting you and saying things like “Leave Y/n alone. Lay so much as a nail on her, and you’re dead.”
- you get hurt in battle? he is making sure your ok and is crying because he thinks you’ll die, even if it is just a small cut
- zenitsu a fan of pda? yeaaaaahhhhhh kind of he is really shy to make the first live so when you MAKE the first move. in PUBLIC he is going feral inside
- mostly falls in front of you cause of how physically weak you make him, and honestly it’s adorable 😭
- he absolutely loves it when the two of you are cuddling together, he finds it cute the way you are little spoon and how you let him be big spoon. (he is actually the little spoon)
❧☙
hope you enjoyed :) - @simpitsu (thought you might like this)
- please excuse any grammar or spelling mistakes, thank you

Kamaboko Squad Yandere Headcanons
Tumblr media
A/N: Reposting this from my Wattpad book because I don't have any ideas for anything new 🤩
Warnings: Nezuko is platonic, mentions of kidnapping, mild language, and of course, yandere themes
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Tanjiro: ➼ If he's the one who loves you as a yandere, you wouldn't even have to lay a finger if you don't want to.
➼ He's the kind who would definitely spoil you. Want some chocolate? You're getting your favorite kind of chocolates, homemade. Too tired to clean up after a long day? He'll help you bathe. He's super respectful, his eyes never wandering to where they don't belong, making you always feel safe within his company. He's definitely househusband material.
➼ He absolutely loves it when he's in both you and Nezuko's company. He adores the fact that you love his sister (probably even more than you love him, but he doesn't need to know that). You being Nezuko's sister-in-law would be his ultimate dream.
➼ He hates the fact that you're also a demon slayer. After almost losing his entire family, his biggest nightmare would be losing you or Nezuko. If he could, he would resign you from the corps immediately.
➼ Tanjiro is more of a protective yandere. Red flag? If you're talking to anyone he doesn't fully trust, you bet your butt he's lurking in the shadows watching you interact with them. If he gets too concerned for your safety, there's a very small chance that he'll kidnap you (it needs to be a very serious concern if he does that). However, he would make sure you'll be comfortable in your room where you're kidnapped, even if you're tied by chains. 
➼ He can't imagine himself being with anyone else. You're his and only his, and he's going to make you see that too. No matter what it takes.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Zenitsu: ➼ Oh god. He would be a handful to deal with.
➼ Hearing "Marry me!!!" would be a common occurrence for you to deal with every day. Your mans would do anything to please you. If you asked him to, he would probably climb Mount. Everest for you. Around you, he would almost always be blushing and giving you compliments. He would make sure you hear that he loves you every single day, which annoys others to no limits.
➼ Zenitsu would do anything to get alone time with you, which rarely happens as he's always surrounded by Inosuke and Tanjiro. When he does get alone time with you though, he would be over the moon. He likes to make you sweets sometimes when he's free, as he's surprisingly good at baking.                              
➼ He thinks absolutely about you is perfect. Fighting demons? You look so awesome. Drinking water? You're pretty as hell. Talking? His full attention is on your pretty face. Showering? He thinks your body looks- erm, never mind. 
➼ The only thing he dislikes regarding you is how Tanjiro and Inosuke are always around you. If they aren't, you're around Nezuko. Sure, he loves them too, but he loves you the most. Probably more than anything in the entire world.
➼ He would be more of a delusional yandere. Red flag? He gets jealous very often. Really often. If he thinks you're not giving enough attention to him, he'll probably go sulk somewhere till you grow worried and come to find him. Or maybe he'll try to make you jealous instead, by clinging to someone else, probably Nezuko (earning bonus glares by Tanjiro).
➼ In his mind, both of you are meant to be with each other. Maybe he's too scared to actually make a move on you for now, but he'll do it. Eventually. 
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Inosuke: ➼ The only thing I can say is, SAYONARA.
➼ God, it would take him decades to realize his feelings for you. He often mistakes his feelings for competitiveness, so he would demand fights from you at least twice a day at minimum. He gets very reckless with you during fights to calm down his energy from simply seeing you. He would act the same around you as he does with Tanjiro and Zenitsu, but still somewhat calmer and more protectively.
➼ He's happy as long as he's around you, although he would never admit it. You taught him to read and write basic Japanese, so he even writes you letters when you're away on solo missions in distant places, although they usually look like "If you get injured by those bastard demons, I'll kill you." Yeah, Zenitsu taught him to write swear words.
➼ He craves physical touch, whether it's romantic or in a fight. He doesn't care as long as his skin is in contact with yours. It could be simply holding hands, but knowing that you're with him at the moment is very comforting for him. You probably don't mind holding hands with him either.
➼ He hates how you could be reckless and jump in to save someone if needed. Sure, he's even more reckless, but he can't understand why you would risk yourself in order to protect a random stranger. He would much rather sacrifice himself over you.
➼ In a fight, you both are a very good duo. Your abilities are very similar (the only thing is that Inosuke can't detect auras, but he's much better at things like spatial awareness), and his recklessness is often balanced by your strategic approach to battles. However, whenever you tell him strategies to continue a fight, he wouldn't listen nine out of ten times. But when he does get too injured to continue fighting Inosuke style, he puts your strategies into practice.
➼ He's a total possessive yandere. Red flag? He doesn't know how to express his feelings very well. Even if he wants to do something as wholesome as hugging, he's gonna ask for it in a very aggressive way like "OI (Y/N), HUG ME OR ELSE 🔪". Red flag #2? His possessiveness can get out of control. He dislikes it whenever you make independent decisions and/or tell him to do something. He wants you to be fully dependent on him.
➼ If it were up to him, he would kidnap you and never let you out of his sight. You were his, no matter what.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Nezuko:  ➼ She absolutely adores you, just as much as she adores Tanjiro. She could never choose between the two of you, though. To her, you're both irreplaceable. 
➼ Nezuko. Absolutely. Loves. Cuddles. She wouldn't be able to function normally if she didn't get her daily dose of cuddles and head pats. She hates how she's unable to talk to you normally because of her muzzle. If she could talk normally though, she would spend the entire day chatting with you. Not a single moment of boredom would exist.
➼ She can easily understand you most of the time, and you can understand her too eight out of ten times. In her perfect version of life, Tanjiro and you would be married and all three of you would live in the same home (maybe even along with Urokodaki). She tends to see the three of you and Urokodaki as a family.
➼ Like Tanjiro, she hates the fact that you have to put yourself in danger along with Tanjiro. What if something happened to you while she was peacefully sleeping? Just thinking about that makes her extremely paranoid.
➼ A high-pitched "mhm-hmm" means she's happy. If it's a low-pitched one, that means that she is determined to complete the task that she's been assigned. A single quiet "hmm" means that she's sad and/or craving your attention.
➼ She's a clingy yandere. Red flag? It's easy for her to manipulate you into doing something she wants. She's aware of her cuteness and she's not afraid to use it as a weapon. Nevertheless, she would never manipulate you into doing something that she knows would upset you too much.
➼ I would be willing to place my bets that the Kamado siblings are secretly conspiring with each other to make you know that you belong with them, and ONLY them.

Kamaboko Squad with a S/O who likes to sing
Tumblr media
Tanjiro Kamado
Tumblr media
He loves everything about you
But he LOVES your voice
The first time he heard you singing you were singing to Nezuko while Tanjiro was training
He fell even more in love with you
After he heard you sing he would probably ask you if you could sing the lullaby that his mom used to sing
Ofc you said yes
If you ever had kids, you would 100% sing it to them new writing idea
He would always watch you lovingly as he falls asleep when you sing a lullaby
He’s so head over heels for you
After a tough mission all he needs to hear is you singing and boom he’s better already
He always compliments your voice
Please write a song for him
If singing was ever a career you wanted to pursue, he’d be SOOOO supportive
And I mean SOOOO supportive
He would be and is your biggest fan
I mean, he’s your bf after all
Overall, he’s such a sweetheart
Zenitsu Agatsuma
Tumblr media
He loves it when you sing to him
Sure, he would be supportive if you wanted to do it as a career
But he would prefer if you saved your voice only for him
Whenever he’s scared to fight demons, your voice always calmed him down
When he first heard you singing he asked you if you could sing all these different songs
He was SO head over heels
He would probably rather you sing upbeat songs rather than lullabies
I feel like he would try to write a song about you
He failed miserably
But you loved it anyway
Overall, he loves you, and your voice!
Inosuke Hashibara
Tumblr media
I don’t think he would really care
If you ever tried to sing a lullaby to him, he would just scream over you
But you have your soft moments
For example, when he lost his voice, he would let you sing to him
He wouldn’t compliment
But he wouldn’t fight it either
He probably just doesn’t understand the concept of music
Like Zenitsu, he would definitely prefer upbeat songs
I don’t think he would care if you started singing as a career tbh
Sorry this is short I suck at writing inosuke
Nezuko Kamado
Tumblr media
She would love it so much
If it weren’t for her muzzle, she’d probably sing along with you!
But she definitely hums along
Like Tanjiro, she would like if you sang the song her mother used to sing to her
I feel like she would LOVE lullabies and upbeat songs equally
She doesn’t really care what you sing, she just wants to hear your amazing voice
If you ever did it professionally, she’d be just as supportive as her brother!
Once she becomes human again, she would love to start a band with you
It’s just so freaking wholesome
Kanao Tsuyuri
Tumblr media
Like Inosuke, I don’t think she’d really care or understand
But she would let you sing, unlike Inosuke
She would probably like calmer songs, like lullabies
Once she opened up a little more though, and started to understand more, she might ask you to sing for her
If you ever wanted to start singing as a career she wouldn’t object, but she wouldn’t care either
I feel like she wouldn’t listen to your music unless you were directly singing to her AND ONLY HER
Not in a possessive way ofc
But she would just rather hear your voice live and in person
Sorry I also suck at writing for Kanao
Genya Shinazugawa
Tumblr media
(Sorry there aren’t any gifs of him)
He would love it sm 🥺
Sure he may have been a little shit before puberty and would tell you to shut up
But after…
He would LOVE to hear you sing
He would get so flustered when you sing to him
He doesn’t really care what you sing, he loves it and turns red as a tomato
Ok moving on…lullabies
I feel like he would love when you sang him to sleep
He would be so flustered but so calm at the same time
Whenever you sing a lullaby to him, he likes it when you kiss his scar in between words
Please write a song for him
He already loves you…
But if you ever sang a love song to him, he turns even more red than usual if it’s even possible
If you wanted to sing as a career, he wouldn’t openly support you
But behind closed doors…
HE’S YOUR BIGGEST FAN
He just loves u sm
I’m so soft for him

Zenitsu with a shark demon s/o (like they have fin ears and a shark tail and sharp teeth) with a habit of biting literally everything
This ask kinda reminded me of the shark demons from helluva boss!
Zenitsu x shark demon Reader
Tumblr media
★ This boy was legitimately scared of you, and for good reason. You have a jaw full of spikey teeth, rough skin and a predatory look in your eyes. Anyone you met would try to kill you on sight. But he didn't (probably because he was paralyzed by fear)
★ You mostly say around ocean towns and hunt fish during the night. Like real-life sharks you are often feared, but ultimately harmless.
★ Fun fact, the salt in salt water makes the water molecules pull the sodium and chlorine ions apart, increasing the conductivity. Basically giving him the ability to make salt water electric with his attack. But this doesn't happen with fresh water.
★ He wants to get you something hard for you to gnaw on. You can grow back teeth really quickly, so he's not to worried about that. What he is worried about is you getting into trouble over chewing up people's things.
★ The closest thing he can find is a makeshift chew toy fashioned out of a carved horse bone, and then turned into a necklace. And you know what? It actually gets the job done while managing to look pretty!
★ He might try and teach you some self defense moves that he learned from Shinobu, in exchange you tech him how to swim.

Tumblr media
✴ Zenitsu is the kind of guy who likes head scratches after a long day of running away from demons because he is absolutely terrified. He will come over to you and present his head in your lap for you to scratch his head.
✴ When the weather is less than desirable outside, you will put on a movie for the both of you so you can spend time together. He will definitely be holding your hand, cuddling you, legs over your lap, etc.. just making contact with you someway. 
✴ When you two are in public for your quality time, he can sometimes become overwhelmed. He will bunch up your shirt in his hand and follow you around like a lost puppy. He will probably also dig his face into your back and let you lead the way.
✴ He is a sucker for being fed. Some nights, you will prepare various finger foods for him to try and feed them to him. To make it interesting, you will have him close his eyes and try to guess what you are feeding him based on the taste and smell. 
✴ He also really likes to help you cook. He is often found in the kitchen either by your side chopping the vegetables or simply watching you cook. He will make conversation with you about what is going on at the Corp, his friends etc.. He tries to memorize all of the steps to make your favorite dishes for you some day.
✴ When you do the chores around the house, he likes to follow you and watch. While you are doing laundry, he will comment about how each piece of clothing makes you look so beautiful. How this kimono brings out the color of your eyes, or how the pattern of this haori makes you look brighter, etc. 
✴ Kisses. He loves kisses. Whether it’s when you kiss his forehead, hands, cheeks, lips, etc.. It does not matter where, he absolutely craves that from you. Your kisses are heaven-send to him and he will tap on the place he wants you to kiss often as a non-verbal cue.
✴ Speaking of non-verbal cues, he uses those a lot. If he wants to hold your hand, he will hold it open and clench it before releasing it again to show you his palm. If he wants a head scratch or for you to play with his hair, he will simply point to his head on place it on your lap. He gets nervous around you often and sometimes cannot be verbal.

Demon Slayer: Ideal Types
Fluff/HC
Characters: Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke
These turned into more character analysis than necessarily ideal types, cause I genuinely think that none of these three would be very picky. They're littered with faults, like everyone else. But I hope it's an enjoyable read and an accurate headcanon!
Tanjiro Kamado:
Tumblr media
Tanjiro needs someone with a resilient level of integrity. Tanjiro is incredibly intelligent, especially emotionally, and clearly cares about his family and his future, despite how it might turn out for him.I believe that he'd really require someone with an equal level of integrity, who wouldn't be upset with his passion but would indulge him in their own as well. One thing that sticks out to me is that Tanjiro isn't exclusively positive emotions all the time, he's furious at Muzan, He gets annoyed at Zenitsu, He gets mad at Inosuke. Even so, he manages his emotions well, journaling while on the mountain, speaking out when things aren't right, and using his understanding to help those around him. I actually think that he'd do well with someone who's very sensitive or struggles emotionally. Also... side note, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, Tanjiro is literally... a hill-billy. He'd do well to find someone street smart or the boy gonna get robbed-
Zenitsu Agatsuma:
Tumblr media
Oh boy, here we go: I think that he really needs someone who will give him unconditional love, and who's maybe more reserved than reactive. I think he'd value loyalty to a great deal, first out of insecurity then as he grew as a person, it would root more in respect for his partner. I don't think he'd be picky about interests, but he's a sucker for their attention, so I think he's up for most things, (maybe with a bit of complaining) I personally believe that Zenitsu gets more hate than he deserves, please hear me out. Zenitsu is in a constant state of anxiety for approval. Given his upbringing and the tough love he was shown, I think that he really doesn't know how to properly express that he needs support. He doesn't want to die, and he does NOT want to die single, alone. I'll be honest, I believe that we all have parts of ourselves which we wish were different, and Zenitsu's get displayed for comic relief (and it is very funny).
Inosuke Hashibira:
Tumblr media
I'll be honest, Inosuke has been the hardest one to write for thus far, but I'll try my very best! I genuinely think that romance might not bloom the way it does for many other characters I write for. I think it would be respect, and simply sticking with each other. Inosuke would crave praise, especially if his partner was brutally honest when giving it. He'd want someone he can respect, and who can genuinely respect him, despite his arrogance. I do think that it could work well, but it would be challenging to get through walls, and pushing will only hurt the relationship. Give him a solid rock, and soon enough walls begin to break down .Surprisingly similar to Zenitsu, Inosuke is shown to crave attention and praise from those around him, but their techniques are polar opposites. I genuinely think that the people they'd fall for would be at least to some degree similar. Inosuke would need someone who's consistently there. The boy was raised by boars (according to the wiki), and is often shown to be extremely protective of his friends.

Flower Crown
My first “x reader” writing EVER (I usually don’t write in this style, I give a name to any OC I write about)
Based on a HC that Zenitsu is good at making flower crowns ;-;
In which a tired you is in the company of someone who understands.
————————————————————————
It was essential that you had someone to train you. Oyakata-sama reminded everyone of the rarity of having a Star Breather like you, just as it was rare to have a Sun Breather like Tanjiro. And so started the game of hot potato, tossing you around to each hashira.
Obanai, Sanemi, Muichiro, and Giyuu had refused outright, barely giving any explanation as to why. But it was expected of them; they weren’t exactly the best at giving instructions or working with others. Shinobu or Rengoku would’ve gladly taken you in, had they not had so many others to take care of. Gyomei simply terrified you; sure he was gentle, but you doubted you could keep up with his raw, unadulterated power. Mitsuri worried that her breathing technique was far too different from yours, and relied a lot more on strength than yours did.
And so there you were, stuck with the Sound Hashira and his lovely wives. As gentle and kind as they were, they were warriors, and expected a lot from you. They demanded speed, agility, accuracy. But after 3 hours of losing to a Hashira who became more and more aggravated with each strike you missed, and a few more hours barely dodging the nonstop attacks of his ninja wives, you felt yourself at your limit. The world was spinning, and spots danced in your vision.
But you kept your shaking feet planted, your pearly nichirin sword sparkling in your grasp. As if your swordsmith had waited for nightfall to pluck stars straight out of the night sky and carve them into the shape of your blade. “Again,” you rasped, throat aching from how hard you were breathing. Your hands had gone pale from gripping your sword to keep it from shaking.
Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma gave you small looks of concern. They were hesitating.
“Again,” you growled, frustration growing. You had to prove to them that you were strong enough for them, that you were worth training.
Tengen had taken a seat to the side to cool off, directing the session from afar. Even he stood, clapping his hands once. “Alright, I think it’s now time for some rest.” You shook your head.
“No, I can keep going.” Tengen laughed.
“I think you should stop before you collapse on us. That would be very unflashy. Besides,” he smiled at his wives. “It’s our turn to make a meal.” They blushed at the softness in Tengen’s voice as they walked away from where they had been training with you, and towards the house.
You remained standing, heartbeat drumming in your ears. You feared you would be unable to raise your arms again if you let them fall to your sides. And it was only the second day of being under their wing.
You could hear sounds of bickering and laughter from outside the Sound Hashira’s manor. They were familiar voices. It seemed Rengoku and his students had also come back from their training. They were here for the meal Tengen invited them to.
“Listen, I understand that stamina is an important part of demon slaying, but did he really have to make us run around the entire village twice?” It was Zenitsu’s complaining. He sounded louder; they were getting close to Tengen’s training yard.
You were still frozen in your spot, trying to force your body to ease out of its high intensity state before you could let yourself relax. Your muscles were cramped, and your heart rate would not slow, no matter how much you attempted to calm yourself down.
The three friends stepped into the yard, and they stopped short when they caught sight of you.
“Hey.” It was Zenitsu’s voice that cut through the silence. “Are you alright?”
The words hit you in a wave, causing your resolve to snap like a coiled spring. Before you could react, the edges of your vision began to fade as you felt your legs give out beneath you, sword slipping out of your grasp. Your body felt indescribably heavy, and you dropped forward.
But you didn’t hit the ground, firm hands catching your arms, face landing against a warm body and fast-paced heart. You could barely muster the strength to tilt your head up. The last thing you saw before your consciousness gave out were worried, sunset eyes.
~~~~
When you awoke, you realized you were tucked under a blanket, the group of people chattering quietly as they ate at the table not far from where you rested. Suma was the first to notice you had opened your eyes. She let out a small gasp.
“She’s awake!” She squeaked, the conversation stopping as they all looked at you with relieved expressions. You guessed their reactions were supposed to be comforting. But it only pushed you further into embarrassment, for being so incapable that everyone had to take care of you, had to worry for you.
“How long was I out?” You asked quietly. Tanjiro gave you a half smile. “A couple hours, as long as it took for the food to be prepared I believe.”
Hinatsuru smiled softly and scoot over to give you space by the table as you stood up. “Come, sit next to us.” Makio called out from beside her. Inosuke nodded with a wide grin.
“Yeah! The food is amazing!” His voice came out muffled, face stuffed with whatever Tengen and his wives had made.
You stared at the wall blankly.
“No, it’s alright. I’m not that hungry. Thank you.” Before anyone could object, you excused yourself and walked out into the training yard. Zenitsu silently watched you as you left.
~~~~
There was a back exit in Tengen’s manor, and you decided to slip out of it, leaning your back against the outer wall of the property. You stared up at the sky, the stars seeming to wink mockingly at you. Tears pricked your eyes.
How come you couldn’t be like them? Like Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu. Fighting through their fears and holding their own alongside Rengoku. You could barely stand straight after two days with Tengen. Maybe you weren’t deserving of your breathing technique.
“The sky is pretty tonight.” The gentle voice startled you, and you jerked your head in the direction of the sound. Wallowing in your own pity, you hadn’t noticed Zenitsu following you outside. He was also looking at the sky.
You wiped your tears against your sleeve. “What are you doing out here?” You muttered. Zenitsu finally looked at you, eyes muted.
“I brought you some food. You need it after passing out like that earlier. Trust me,” he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. “I know all about it.”
You started trembling, reminded of the embarrassment of it all as you pulled your knees up to your chest and tucked your head away in your arms. Your soft sobs caused Zenitsu to flinch, speaking quickly.
“Oh I’m so sorry! If you don’t like the food it’s totally okay! I can- go grab some fruits or something if you want something lighter-” “I don’t deserve to be a Star Breather.” You whispered.
Zenitsu froze at your words. They echoed another voice he knew far too well. He kneeled down beside you. “You,” he pulled your arm away from your face. “Know that’s not true.” His face was serious, and it was the first time you had seen him look that way.
You looked up, blinking away any more tears. “Maybe I should stop using this breathing technique. I can’t keep up with any of you. I know Tengen hates me. I can see it in his eyes. All of them look at me with pity.” You finally forced yourself to face him.
“Even you.”
Zenitsu scoffed. “If you think what I feel for you is pity, then you’re awful at understanding others.” He frowned.
“I only feel frustrated. That you think you’re allowed to give up and play the victim, when we’re all fighting to keep up.” He slid down the wall to sit beside you.
“I never felt I was right with my Thunder Breathing either. I can still only use one form. There have been many times when I passed out from the sheer power behind Thunder Breathing. But when I had cried to gramps about all of it, he had asked me if I could see myself mastering a different technique.”
He paused for a second, staring at his hands. “And I realized that I couldn’t. One form or not, Thunder Breathing was the only one that felt as comfortable to me as my own skin.” Zenitsu laughed softly.
“When I told him that, he smacked me. Asked me why I was complaining then. He never let me quit. And I tried, many times. But he never stopped believing in me.” He smiled at the memories.
“Then I realized, the only thing that would help me become a better Thunder Breath wielder is to just, keep going. Because whether I like it or not, Thunder Breathing is mine.”
Zenitsu looked intently at you. “Just as Star Breathing is yours.” He paused. “And as long as that technique is the one that comes the easiest to you,” he smiled, sunset eyes glowing with determination. “I won’t let you quit either. You’ll always have me, and I will never stop believing in you.”
He had shocked you into silence. You merely stared at him, wide-eyed as he pulled something out of his orange kimono and handed it to you. “Here.”
His voice was soft, and you were staring at a beautiful pattern of flowers. A crown, consisting mostly of flowers the color of your eyes, and accented with speckles of others. “Did you-“ you looked at him with awe. “Did you make this?”
The seriousness from earlier vanished as he grinned sheepishly, nodding as his face turned pink. “Yeah. I wanted to give you something for working so hard with Tengen. And I’ve always loved crafts, so I made it during our break in training today.” Zenitsu carefully took it out of your hands, placing it on your head, arranging it to sit perfectly.
“There.” He grinned. “It looks perfect on you.” You felt your face heat up, looking at him with a grateful smile. With your sadness beginning to fade, you realized just how hungry you were.
“Zenitsu…” you began, smiling shyly. Zenitsu laughed.
“I know,” he responded, pushing the plate of food that was next to him towards you.
“Here, a plate of dinner from earlier.” He waved his hand toward the plate. “Now, eat. You’re our rare Star Breather after all.” You elbowed him playfully. Every bite of the meal was euphoric.
Zenitsu watched you eat with a soft smile.
Once you finished, you sighed, leaning back against the wall again. “Do you think we’ll ever be like the Hashira? You a Thunder Pillar, me a Star Pillar.” Zenitsu was quiet for a little bit.
“Yeah,” he finally spoke. “I think we will.”
It was all you needed to hear as you leaned your head against his shoulder, both of you watching the sky in a comfortable silence.

Author’s Note: AHHHHHH ZENITSU! I love him so much fr. ;-; I’m so glad that my first “x reader” piece was for him. I saw this hc that Zenitsu was good at flower crowns and just HAD to write it. This one is my first writing in this form, and it might seem a bit rough, but please keep giving me the opportunity to write for y’all! Thank you. As I practice, it’ll improve for sure. For now though, I hope you enjoyed!

With a tall boyfriend<3
Characters: tanjiro, Zenitsu, inosuke, nezuko, genya, sanemi, giyuu, obanai.
Genre: fluff
Pronouns: male
Warnings: swearing.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Tanjiro
Absolutely loves it. But mainly loves the piggy backs or sitting on your shoulder.
Makes him feel safe or comfortable. Maybe even both.
Doses tend to blush easy because of how you easily tower over the poor boy.
He will make you hug him though he doesn't need too. And oh my fucking god. I you pick him up while hugging him. Jzbsjaoqw. He falls for you all over again.
With your height also involves a lot of body heat. And let me say this.
He. Loves. It. So. Much.
Overall 10/10 on him loving your height.
Zenitsu
Quite scared at first but slowly learns he fucking loves it.
When I say loves it I mean to the point where he WILL climb on you.
Steals a shirt or to and says its 'because he doesn't have any.' but he just loves how big they are on him.
Cuddles in bed is a MUST. no exceptions. He loves the be hugged from behind so it's quite obvious that if you guys are spooning he would be the small one.
Your body warmth does tend to sometimes get to much. Especially in the summer. But other than that he loves it.
9/10 on loving your height.
Inosuke
Oh boy.
He think your height is your way of saying fight me. 😐
But is surprised on how tall you really were.
Definitely hates loves hugs. Just because you have to really bend down to hug him proply.
Makes him feel extremely small. And weak. But for some reason he doesn't not like it. He feels welcomed by it almost.
Play fighting is a must with this man. If he beats you, you'll never hear the end of it. He feels powerful after being you down.
You and Inosuke's body is almost the same temperature so it doesn't really work him to much.
9.5/10
Nezuko
Like her brother she lives it.
Hugs are nezuko's favourite part of it. She feels so small and so warm.
Will cling onto you when you guys take walks. Ether that or you pick her up.
Another favourite part is just your's and her size difference in everything. Hands mainly.
When you guys hold hand she feels like it's just so tiny and yours is protecting hers somehow?
Nezuko loves to sleep so when tanjiro goes out in missions she tends to sleep with you alot. (Not in that way😒)
11/10 on the love metre
Genya
Another one who adores but hates your height.
He hates it because whenever you're around he just can't stop blushing and stuttering.
Poor genya.
Tho I feel like he is one to wear your shirts to bed just because of the baggyness.
Genya will die if you hug him from behind, but only in private otherwise he'll be pretty awkward.
He loves your body heat during the night and rather like to lay on you chest or cuddled up together (face to face embrace)
He purely loves your height but don't know it :( 8.5/10
Sanemi
Fr thinks of you as someone who he can take down.
Hates your height most of the time because it makes him feel weak and small.
Hugs from behind wether he gives them or receives them.
You body temperature is completely different. Sanemi's body run cool while your body is basically a oven.
He would rather you cuddle him that the other way around. Especially during the colder nights.
Wears your shirts to bed wether you like it or not.
7.5/10 tho he adores you height when he wants to.
Giyuu
He someone who is used to people being taller than him, and he doesn't mind.
Tho he is in love with your height.
Sure you may be a bit if not a lot taller than tengen but he loves it.
There is a very large gap in your heights but he find the gap perfect.
He will on occasion wear your haori but that's only when his is being washed..
When y'all first hugged he swears that his stomach and heart was going to explode.
Now it's a must when ever you or him come back from a mission.
When you guys cuddle it is almost always the same. Him being curled up on you side with your arms easily wrapping around him:(
On the colder night he would just....lay on you. Like full in become a small blanket.
11/10 he is in love all over again.
Obanai
Another one who is used to people being alot taller than him. He says he doesn't mind but deep down he minds.....a lot.
But when he met you. Oh man.
You were like double his size. That definitely made a spark somewhere tho he threw it off as nerves.
As we all know he didn't really let people in so when you guys started dating there was no hugging, kissing or even cuddling at the start.
Tho after you guys slept together (sleeping🙄) he was all like 'this is nice. I want to be around him more' even if he never said it.
He likes your hugs mainly because he feels safe and forgets about the world around you and him.
Your bodies warmth is definitely soothing for him. So when ever he has nightmares he goes to you for comfort.
You height also is comfortable for him. Sue it makes him feel small but it also makes him feel like you protecting him. He didn't get much of that as a kid.
Over all 9/10. He sometimes relies on you for comfort. :(
Sorry if this is bad. I feel kinda sick rn. But anyways. And sorry for not posting in ages I've been caught up with stuff.

Yo! Could you write either a oneshot or headcanons for demon slayer about a reader who is inoskes older siblings. They're really buff and have a loud hearty laugh. Big buff protector vibes. Just like basic stuff of them being an older sibling to the squad or something! Have a marvelous day!
ooooh i love this idea!
𝕓𝕖𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕚𝕟𝕠𝕤𝕦𝕜𝕖'𝕤 𝕤𝕚𝕓𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕙𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕔𝕒𝕟𝕠𝕟𝕤
warnings: none! slightly masc-coded reader but it's not too noticable
Tumblr media
you're not biologically related to inosuke but the similarities are undeniable
you were almost like a parental figure to him, and he found himself copying a lot of your mannerisms
so you can imagine everyone's reactions when they found out inosuke had a sibling that was taller, stronger, and louder.
not gonna lie, zenitsu was terrified of you at first
everyone warmed up to you really quickly though: after all, what's not to like about the friendly older sibling figure?
tanjiro was glad to have you around to keep things under control
or at least he hoped you'd help keep things under control
yeah he was wrong.
you're the chief enabler of chaotic antics and inosuke loves it
tanjiro not so much
but as soon as there's any danger, your protective instincts take charge. no harm will come to the teenagers, not on your watch
zenitsu loves having you around to protect him and always sticks near you on missions
inosuke's always like "hehehe that's my sibling they're so cool"
the hashira love you too
especially rengoku, you have very similar vibes
laughs around the campfire are an absolute must
storytelling, warm meals, singing, woodland games - evenings with you and the squad have all the good stuff
evenings on the road can be stressful but good food and your hearty laugh always helps lighten the mood
and everyone always does better when they're feeling good <3
long story short, your brother's friends were a little wary of having you along, but they love you and wouldn't have it any other way

Valentines with Zenitsu <3
Warnings: None
Category: Fluff
enjoy! (^_^)
♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎
“You should just ask her Zen, I think she feels the same way.”
tanjiro encouraged zenitsu to ask you to be his valentines. zenitsu hid behind tanjiro as you walked out the estate. you walked towards tanjiro and noticed zenitsu behind him hiding with blush across his cheeks.
“Hey zen! I was winding if we can talk? If you have a second of course.”
you asked with a huge smile on your face, you really liked him and wanted to ask him to be your valentines, but in private of course cause of the embarrassment you would have if he turned you down.
tanjiro moved out of the way and zenitsu’s face was giving off the vibe of him saying ‘what the hell man?!’ zen looked over at you while his face still red and full of blush and embarrassment.
“Uh- yeah sure, ok.”
he said quick and fast but in a low tone of voice. you were blushing and tanjiro knew that you liked him but never told him because it wasn’t his news to tell, so he let us play out until valentines. tanjiro always knew you were gonna ask him eventually, you were actually the first girl zenitsu couldn’t be bold around, someone he actually liked and didn’t just want to marry you at first sight. he wanted to get to know you little by little, he found it more fun that way.
you grabbed his hand and took him to the garden of the estate, you took your flower crown you made him, and placed it on his head gently. he was blushing but a little confused z
“I made that for you, hope you like it.”
“Yeah I do, it’s really pretty. Thanks Y/n.”
he said while smiling at you, made your stomach twist and turn.
“So Zen?”
you earned his attention with those words, he looked at you and tilted his head in confusion.
“Yes Y/n?”
“I really like you, and I want to know if you’ll be my valentine?”
you finally spoke out, he was shocked as he was oblivious to your liking towards him.
“YES YES Y/N IM YOUR VALENTINES, AND I REALLY REALLY LIKE YOU TOO!”
he shouted out pretty loud, tanjiro smiled at what he had heard, giggled a little too.
“Oh I mean, sure I’ll be your valentines.”
zenitsu said trying to act chill about it, right after his little excitement tantrum. lol
you giggled and playfully punch his arm, he pretended as it actually hurt him and you leaned in to kiss his cheek. he was blushing and you took him by the hand.
“Where are we going?”
“I’m going to buy you a box of chocolates and a rose bouquet!”
you said in a cheerful tone. he then stopped and you gave him a confused look.
“Wait aren’t I supposed to get you those things?”
“Doesn’t matter, as long as your with me it’s all ok.”
he smiled and placed a kiss on your forehead and you two continued to head to the nearby village.
♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎
hey i hope you enjoyed!
sorry for any mistakes (ToT)
specifically made for: @simpitsu <3 hope you liked it :)

(Pt.1)How they react when they hear you say you’re not good enough;
Pairing: Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu
Content warning: swearing
Word count: 1.1k words
Reader sex: female
Summary: how each member of the kamaboko squad would react to hearing you say you aren’t good enough.
Masterslist-
[Some of these scenarios with contain things that aren’t apart of the Demon slayer timeline era, just work with it ;)]
Tumblr media
Tanjiro-
He would shower you in compliments
He would give you a lot of affection
Tumblr media
Tanjiro and you have been in a relationship for serval years now, you’ve been with him through his journey of becoming a demon slayer. You were already a demon slayer when he was brought to the corps due to him fighting with Nezuko, you work with shinobu and the other girls that are medics. Though Tanjiro gives you a lot of compliments, you never quite understand what he sees. Your self esteem is quite low, and you bash yourself often, you just do it in your head.
Today was different for some reason. Tanjiro was home with you, which was always good, but you were emotionally feeling terrible. Tanjiro was currently with Inosuke and Zenitsu while you were in the bathroomroom you shared with the boy looking in the mirror at your nude body. [this won’t be sexual]
“Why won’t I ever be good enough..” you sighed before looking away from the mirror. You stepped into the shower and began to wash your body, silently feeling tears stream down your face.
You hear someone step in behind you before you feel Tanjiro’s arms wrap around your waist, pulling you closer. “What’s wrong babe?” He whispered in your ear as he began to lightly press kisses on your jawline and neck, “I just don’t feel like I’m good enough..” you whispered as you sniffed looking down. Tanjiro stops giving you kisses suddenly, he uses two fingers, lifts your head, and looks you in your eyes. “Why would you say such things about yourself love…” he whispered with a frown on his face. You felt tears run down your face as you bit your lip, trying to prevent yourself from crying. “I just don’t feel like I’m good enough for you or to be here sometimes.” You spoke with your voice cracking toward the end.
“My love.. you mean so much to me… without you I’d be lost.. you are more than enough for me. Nobody else treats patients the way you do, the butterfly mansion wouldn’t function the same without you, you are more than enough for everyone here.” He spoke with a smile before giving you a long affectionate kiss. You kiss back with tears streaming down your face, “I’m sorry for saying it babe… I should’ve known..” you spoke before snuggling into his chest, Tanjiro always knows what to say and when to say it, you love him so much for it.
Inosuke-
He isn’t fully sure what you mean at first
He ASSURES you, you are infact worth it.
Tumblr media
Inosuke and you have known each other since the final selection, for some odd reason he helped you, and ever since then you’ve had an attraction to him. The two of you got together shortly after the train mission, he had feeling for you, he just didn’t know how to express it. Ever since you have been teaching him how to love, how to be loved, and so much more.
Inosuke was currently confused about what he had heard you say to yourself earlier in the day, he heard you say you’re not good enough for anything or anyone, and he didn’t quite understand what you meant. His natural instinct was to go to Tanjiro and ask him for help, “Kentaro! I need help!” Inosuke yelled as he approached the boy, Tanjiro smiled as he turned to look at him, “ Hey Inosuke! What’s wrong?” Tanjiro beamed looking at the boy. “(Y/n) has been down all day, earlier she said that she wasn’t good enough for anyone or anything, what does that mean!?” He yelled again, getting more confused saying it aloud. “Oh no Inosuke! You should go check on her and assure her she is! She’s feeling like she doesn’t deserve you or anyone else… does that help?” Tanjiro frowned at the thought of his friend feeling the way she does, Inosuke stood up straight before running in the opposite way.
“(Y/n)! Babe! Where are you!?” Inosuke yelled as he ran around your shared apartment. “I’m in here!” You spoke from the room as you laid on the bed you shared with him. He walked into the room and stood infront of you, “what’s up babe?” You asked looking up at your boyfriend who stood over you. “Why would you say you’re not good enough for me!” He spoke taking off his boar hat, looking down at you.
You signed looking to the side, “I didn’t know you heard me..” you whispered. He grabbed both your wrist gently pulling you up, he tilts you head up to meet your gaze. “Please don’t say that about yourself baby… if anything I feel like that… I’m the one who came from the mountains” he spoke with a small chuckle, trying to lighten the situation. You felt your lips tremble before you respond, “I’m sorry babe.” You whispered feeling a tear fall down your face, he whipped the tear with his thumb before connecting your lips. “Don’t cry beautiful, you are more than worth it in my book baby, you’re alway going to be good enough.” He spoke feeling you snuggle into his toned chest. “You’re so perfect.”
Zenitsu-
Tumblr media
He would reassure you right away
He would be genuinely shocked
Zenitsu is known to obsess over girls, yet he took it slow with you. He wanted to get to know you, and he wanted you to get to know him for him. The two of you got together under a couple of cherry blossoms trees, it was quite romantic, it’s kinda what zenitsu wanted.
You have been down in the dumps here recently, and Zenitsu can smell it. Though you have been telling him you are okay, he knows you aren’t. “I’m so ugly.. I’m not good enough for him.” You muttered looking at yourself in the mirror before turning to meet your surprised boyfriend, “what’s wrong babe?” You asked wondering why he looked so shocked. “How could you!” He nearly yelled as he dropped to his knees infront of you crying, “you’re so beautiful! You’re more than worth it! How could you say such things about yourself!” He yelled before jumping up to his feet, he then placed many kisses all over your face, finally kissing you on your lips.
“Please don’t ever say such things.. you’re so fucking beautiful… I wouldn’t want any better because you’re the best girl I know..” he whispered wrapping his arms around your waist. “What’s me without you? You changed me so much… I don’t know what I’d do without you.” He spoke feeling you kiss his chest hugging him.
[short, but hopefully sweet.]

Hii :D May i request for muichiro, kanao, obanai and zenitsu w/ an overprotective s/o? Thank u sm and take care ૮₍˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶₎ა !
I don't write romantic stuff for Muichiro so he isn't included in this sorry! Obanai
Tumblr media
He loves how overprotective you are so much. He's a bit overprotective too so he understands how overprotective you get. It makes his heart race whenever you get overprotective it makes him feel so safe he gets all flustered whenever you get overprotective some people might find it annoying how protective you are when it comes to Obanai but he doesn't mind at all. It's the little things you do that he loves. Like whenever he comes home from a mission you come up to him and check if he has any wounds or when you go on missions with him to make sure he doesn't get hurt
Kanao
Tumblr media
She feels so appreciated omg. Sometimes she does think you take it a bit far sometimes she'll just pat you on the shoulder if she thinks you're taking it a bit too far but that's very rare most of the time she just kind of stands there. She does get kind of flustered whenever you get protective but she's really good at hiding it.
Zenitsu
Tumblr media
He loves it. He adores it even. He feels so appreciated he hasn't had anyone be so loyal and protective of him before. You always come on missions with him to make sure he doesn't get hurt and it makes him so happy. "Y/nnn your so sweet!!! Nobody's ever cared about me the way you do" You don't even need to be that overprotective of him because you get most of his attention anyways but your protectiveness comes in handy a lot.
Thank you for your request! Have a nice day/night

Listening to their heartbeat
A/n: exams arent finished but my spite is greater than the education system. anyways it’s about heartbeats AND pulses don’t come for me I needed a snazzy title lmao. part 2 with the rest of the alive hashira and inosuke??
Characters: Kyojuro, Zenistu and Tanjiro from Demon Slayer
Warnings: little bit of angst
Kyojuro Rengoku
Tumblr media
• You had been visiting with his family while he was away on a mission.
• He came home to you and Senjuro playing card games and talking about him.
• For once, he didn’t need to carry everything. And he was overjoyed to see you getting along with his brother – even if his dad still needed some work.
• At the end of the day, you sat next to him in peace. You lay your head on his shoulder and felt content.
• His soft, shallow breathing matched your own. You took his hand in yours, inadvertently feeling his rushing pulse.
• You were aware Concentration breathing made the Demon Slayer’s hearts beat incredibly fast, but that was supposed to be reserved for battle. Especially a pulse this fast.
• You frowned, “Kyojuro? Why is your heart beating so fast?”
• As you looked up to him you saw the brightest smile spread across his face. You were almost blinded by the sheer happiness it emitted.
• He took your face in his hands, his smile softening.
• “Thank you for being here, my love.”
Tanjiro Kamado
Tumblr media
• He had gotten gravely injured on his last assignment, even Insokue and Zenistu had to be carried out by the Hashira rescuing them.
• But he was by far the worst, as always.
• For days he had been asleep, only partially waking for minutes at a time.
• Everyone at the Butterfly Estate was worried for him, and they were doing their best to help him.
• Kneeling by his bedside, you watched his peacefully sleeping face. His face was calm and soft. You wished he could look like this without having to be nearly killed first.
• You gently placed the side of your face on his chest. Breathing slowly to hear his heartbeat.
• The sound was warm and innocent, exactly what you thought it would be. A steady drum of hope.
• You felt a hand on your head, and as you shot your head up you saw Tanjiro’s kind eyes finally open.
Zenitsu Agatsuma
Tumblr media
• He had been whining the entire day about you listening to his heartbeat.
• His reasoning was that he could always hear yours, and that you should also hear his.
• “C’mon Y/n-chan! Just listen for a little bit!”
• He had been pouting all day, and unfortunately his puppy-dog eyes were starting to get to you.
• “Fine then, come here." You said as you were fighting off a smile.
• He squealed as he ran to you, giggling hysterically.
• You pressed your ear to his chest, instantly hearing his pounding heart. It sounded like it was going to leap out at you.
• Gazing back up at him, you smiled. he really was just that excited.
• You pecked him on the cheek.
• “Do you understand now Y/n-chan?? My love is so powerful for you!”
• You scoffed, “Sap.”

"You Do Love Me...Right?"
Tumblr media
Pairing(s): zenitsu agatsuma x tsundere!reader
Genre: angst->fluff
Synopsis: after countless rejections, zenitsu is ecstatic when you finally accepted his confession, even if you told him he had to wait in order to marry you. your're dating, but it doesn't really feel like it. you do love him...right?
Warning(s): crying zenitsu :( quick glimpse of soft!sanemi if you squint, not proof read 0_0
Kao's Notes: i know i have quite a few requests, and i haven't forgotten them! i just had this idea and i wanted to see how it'd go, but idk how i feel about it yet. i also wanted to write for someone other than rengoku for rn lol. also, this one feels kinda long to me, soooo grab a snack!
Tumblr media
a certain level of patience is required when dating zenitsu
he's in need of constant reassurance, as his self-esteem isn't the highest by any means which we all know
you initially met each other at the spider forest incident
you're actually the tsuguko of sanemi, as you shared the same breathing technique, and he deemed you, "not a complete waste of time..."
but you felt it'd be beneficial to take on the art of medicine as well, so you could aid in both offense and defense. shinobu was more than happy to teach you, and you grew to be quite the medical asset
when giyuu and shinobu were called to the forest, kanao and yourself were called to accompany them to provide support
sanemi was inwardly hesitant to let you go, not liking the idea of his protige possibly facing a demon moon–even a lower one– this early in their slayer journey
he never did that admit it to you though, he just flopped a heavy hand onto your head and sent you on your way, muttering a gruff, "don't go dying on me to get out of training...you better come back."
later in your journey, giyuu and shinobu had gone ahead, leaving you and kanao to travel together. you didn't mind though, she didn't talk much and neither did you, so you didn't mind traveling with her. she could also hold her own
along the way, you two had split up, providing help to those in different sectors of the forest to cover more ground
after treating everyone in a portion of the forest, you moved on to another, where shinobu so happen to be, and she looked to you. "ah, good timing, y/n. would you mind finishing this boy's treatment," she stood and began on her way. "the poison's gotten awfully far. treat him quickly, will you. oh my!" she looked at zenitsu. "his face is very red! best you hurry, y/n!"
with that, shinobu sped off
wordlessly getting to work, you began to perform your quick treatment on the boy clad in yellow, bringing out a large roll of bandages from one of the many pouches you attached to your belt
"there," you continued wrapping the boy up, speaking in a monotonous yet gentle, voice. "you're going to be just fine, i can assure you."
he wanted to say much more, but in his increasingly weakening state, all zenitsu could utter was a quiet, "p-pretty..."
that definitely threw you for a loop, not that you'd let him see it. you just continued to wrap up his body, opting for a curt, "try not to talk too much...save your energy."
and that was your first encounter with the boy
after the whole incident with the master's decision to keep nezuko and her brother, tanjiro, as demon slayers, you continued your training with sanemi as usual
he was internally relieved to see your safe return, showing it with a swift smack on the head with a, "it's about time you got back," he turned on his heels, beckoning you to following him, which you did, gladly. "back to your training"
you'd been called upon to assist tanjiro with his training when you weren't too occupied with your own, alongside kanao. and you had to admit, being quite the challenge against the boy was rather entertaining
he returned day after day trying to best you in tag and hand-to-hand combat. but, your favorite was some cup of water game where you were granted the entertainment of throwing water in the boy's face if you managed to cover his hand before he could cover yours
and you beat him everytime
later, zenitsu and inosuke joined in the game-like training, and inosuke was rather good at the tag portion of it. he was eager to catch you, and he did, holding you above his head as he did so
zenitsu was a different kind of eager
he vividly remembered you from the forest, healing his wounds and treating the spreading poison from his body. you were breathtakingly beautiful in his eyes
and now, he has to catch you! actually hold you!
the game of tag was a walk in the park for him. you were quite the encouragement, in his opinion, as he was more than happy to chase after you and claim you as his prize
you, on the other hand, were dumbfounded
you weren't surprised inosuke was able to catch you. hell, you thought he'd run after anything that moved, but zenitsu's sudden devotion to you was odd
his eagerness to catch you threw you for a loop; you never had to run so fast in your life, but he still managed to reprimand you
but he didn't immediately slam you back on the ground *cough* like inosuke *cough* no, he handled you like you were the most precious thing in the world
then he went on about marriage, and that's when you pushed yourself off of him
and your relationship grew from there
he began by giving nezuko a heartfelt "break up" soliloquy, proclaiming "his heart has been captured by another." and the demon girl replied with a relieved "mmh"
zenitsu would constantly trail behind you, declaring his undying love for you, not allowing a day to go by without you hearing his marriage proposal
"why the hell would i marry you?" would always be your reply, and he'd falter a little but would always bounce back and try again the next time he saw you
as time passed, you grew inwardly fond of zenitsu, finding his unwavering admiration for you oddly adorable
he'd get water for you when he's sees you undergo a challenging training session with sanemi and gush endlessly about how strong you are
after a while, when zenitsu asked you to marry him, your responses would subtly changed
when he'd drop to his knee in front of you, loudly exclaiming "y/n! please, marry me!" your response changed to, "don't be stupid. we're way too young for that."
and zenitsu caught on to that! "so you're saying, in the future, when we're older, we will?!?!" you cleared your throat, rolling your eyes and walked away without providing him with a response
but he's persistent
later one night, when you're getting ready for bed, zenitsu gave you his final declaration of love for the day, asking for your hand in marriage
"zenitsu," you started in feigned annoyance, "marriage is for something years later. when we're absolutely. certain if you want us to get that far, we need to start from square one."
'us'...'we'...hang on
"AHHHHH!!! ARE YOU SAYING...Y-YOU WANNA BE WITH ME?!?!" zenitsu's yelling caused your ears to ring and you quickly shushed him, "shh, yes. now, shut up before you wake everyone up"
he's been (clingier) clingy since that night
zenitsu's love language is physical touch, and you're not too used to that just yet, so anytime he runs up to hug you, you react like you normally would
you'd push him off of you, only more gentle than usual so he wouldn't fall on the ground below
9 times out of 10, zenitsu's doesn't pay any to your tsundere tendencies and he hugs you again, as he knows you'll cave in eventually
but you never returned his hugs
and there's only so much he can take before he starts to question whether or not you actually love him
you just always seemed so...done with him
anytime he'd appear, greeting you with his usual enthusiastic hug and a kiss on the cheek, you'd hastily turn your head away, "w-warn me next time, sheesh." then you'd only reciprocate it with a flick to his forehead or something, but you wouldn't even look at him
zenitsu thought it'd eventually calm down once your relationship, if he could even call it that, grew but he's not so sure anymore
Tumblr media
you might've bitten off more than you could chew this time. might've.
with the level of intensity that came along with sanemi's training, missions grew to feel much easier. since you shared the same breathing style as him, your forms became that much stronger. demons weren't going to stand a chance against you.
unbeknownst to sanemi, you've been working on creating an 11th form with the additional help of tomioka.
it's true, you've gotten stronger, but your current predicament confirmed the that you still have a way to go.
your bright green nichirin blade was lodged in between the sharp fangs of a demon, who you could tell was in close relations with kibutsuji based on their power.
you were pinned roughly on the ground, wincing at the many jagged rocks that pierced into your back as you struggled to free your leg from between the demon's. the muscles in your arms began to burn, the weight of the demon's body beginning to become unbearable.
once your leg was freed, you brought your knee back before fully extending it, delivering a painful kick to the demon's chest. after the demon went flying, you quickly regained control of your breathing.
you charged towards the demon, barely giving them any time to recover. before the demon could blink, you were behind them. a small 'thump' echoing in the small town as its head rolled against the concrete.
collapsing to your knees, you cursed beneath your breath as your injuries began to take effect, the adrenaline you felt during your battle wearing off. digging your blade into the dirt, you supported your weight into the hilt of the blade before pushing yourself up from the ground.
haganezuka-san would surely have your head on a platter is he witnessed you doing this to one of his precious blades, but if you hadn't, you would've continued laying in the blood-soaked dirt.
"caw! caw," you nearly jumped out of your skin at the sudden appearance of your faithful crow. "y/n, please make your way toward the wisteria house for recovery! shinobu's assistants will help you there!"
ignoring the loud mouth bird, you began to limp your way to the wisteria house.
"caw! caw! y/n, please make your way to–CaW!" the crow squawked, flying out of the way when you tiredly swatted at the bird in agitation.
"i heard you!"
the trek to the house felt incredibly long, your legs growing weaker with every step you took. thankfully, the nearest wisteria house wasn't too terribly far.
upon arrival, you were quick to find the nearest bath and rid yourself of the blood and dirt. wrapping the soft yukata the kind lady brought around your waist, you made your way back to your room.
sinking to your knees on the soft mat below, a soft sigh left your lips.
"zenitsu's probably worried..."
truth be told, you felt incredibly guilty.
you know zenitsu is trying his hardest to make you feel like a queen in your relationship. it nearly impossible not to see. from him serenading you with the most heartfelt monologue when you were to set off on a mission alone, to the enthusiastic praise he'd offer during training, you knew zenitsu loves you. and you love him too...
you just don't know if he knows.
relationships, being friendly or platonic, isn't your strong suit. the mere thought of becoming vulnerable with others, or putting any amount of trust in them, is terrifying.
"i love you," seemed like the most complicated phrase to say. and it was only three word! three! so why are they so hard to say?!
"nnn-channnn...."
the hell? you stopped and listened, wondering if your ears were playing tricks on you. they weren't, by the way.
"y/nNnNNn-chAaAaAnAnnnnnn!"
oh zenitsu...
his footsteps and wailing grew louder as he came nearer. the door nearly slid off it's hinges at the amount of force he used to push it open.
"quit screaming," you began to scold. "others are trying to res–"
your back nearly collides with the floor as zenitsu wrapped his arms your neck, attacking you in a relief-filled hug. he wailing only increased in volume.
"y-y-your crow came back and said you were injured," you grimaced at the sound of him inhaling snot back into his nose, but let him hug you nonetheless along with a half hearted head pat. "i didn't know if you were coming back! w-w-who would protect me of you died?!"
"it's nothing to cry over, zenitsu." you gently pushed him off of you.
"w-why," he sniffles before wiping his nose on his sleeve. "why do you always do that..."
now you weren't stupid.
at some point in the relationship, you knew zenitsu would question you. you believe he is more perspective than he lets on, and you knew zenitsu noticed your lack of emotional response.
you just weren't prepared for the conversation, no matter how many times you rehearsed it in your head.
"...do what," you decided to play aloof for a while, eyes narrowing in confusion.
"that," zenitsu motioned to you. "you're just always so...emotionless all the time." you furrowed your eyebrows.
"i'm not emotionless," you subtly gripped the sleeve of your yukata. "i'm just not a sensitive person, like you."
"i know that," zenitsu's voice grew softer by the second. "but i have to wonder sometimes, y/n, you do love me...right?"
your heart dropped to the pit of your stomach.
although, you're not surprised either. the last thing you wanted was for zenitsu to question your love for him because, believe me, you loved him more than anything. but, with the conflicted look on his face, it was apparent that he wasn't aware of it.
you tried to show him your love in small gestures rather than words: your timid head pats, covering him with a blanket anytime he fell asleep in random places, and connection your pinkies together whenever you were assigned the same mission. you tried. you really did.
but it seems it wasn't enough.
"i see..." zenitsu took your shocked silence as an answer to his question before he picked himself up from the mat and made his way out the door.
you didn't move. you couldn't move. watching zenitsu walk out that door hurt you more than anything, and for the first time in years, your tears splashes against the wood floors below.
days after that, you were finally released from the wisteria house, and you could return to the demon slayer corps headquarters.
all you could think about was zenitsu on your way back.
you and crow would usually bicker back and forth, making the time fly much quicker. but the trip was filled with melancholy silence, as you were in no mood to talk with your spunky crow today.
luckily for you, sanemi kept you busy with training once you returned. saying something along the lines of "you've had enough time off; now hurry up and follow me to the training grounds." which you knew was a direct translation for "i never want to come that close to losing you again." that's why, you believe, you and sanemi got along so well.
you both show your true feelings through small gestures and underling messages. and you immediately picked up on it, both of you.
while sanemi kept you busy, zenitsu moped about. his newfound sadness hit tanjiro's nose like a ton of bricks, and he couldn't be more worried.
and it wasn't just from zenitsu. anytime tanjiro walked past the training grounds, where you and sanemi reside, the same sad smell entered his nose. while you were occupied and training well, you were sad too.
on the outside, it appeared you had your same stone cold expression. but on the inside, you were despondent. all you could think about was zenitsu.
"you're done for today." sanemi's gruff voice cut through the air. he sheathed his sword as he watched you pant heavily from your recent sparring loss. "i'm not gonna waste my time if your head's not in it. go figure your shit out."
without giving you a chance to retaliate, sanemi walked away from you, tossing you a towel before completely making his leave.
"y/n-chan," you were in the middle of wiping the sweat off your face when someone called your name. peaking from the cloth, you gave a nod.
"hello, tanjiro." you were considerably close with each other. tanjiro was arguably the most kind-hearted soul you've met, and he read your emotions remarkably well. and it wasn't uncommon for him to help you with them as well.
"how're you," he placed his hands behind his back, looking at you expectedly. you rolled your eyes.
"you want something," you dropped the towel around your shoulders. "what is it?"
the boy sweat dropped and scratched behind his head, "o-oh you caught that, huh? hehe..." you lifted an eyebrow, waiting for him to get to the point. "well, it's...is everything okay? with you and zenitsu, i mean?"
the same sad smell hit his nose again; he got his answer.
"...n-no. it's not okay," a frown tugged at your lips, your eyes casting towards the ground. "i messed everything up, tanjiro."
tanjiro frowned at the crack in your voice; he'd never witnessed your expression change, and the fact that the first one he witnessed was sadness didn't sit well with him.
"what happened?"
"my stupid emotions," you gripped the towel, "or lack thereof. z-zenitsu doesn't think i love him, tanjiro..." tanjiro furrowed his brows.
"why not," tanjiro scratched his chin with his index finger. "i can easily tell you love him? why can't he?"
"i'm just...terrible at saying it; i've never been able to. i tried showing him, i did, b-but i guess it wasn't enough."
"y/n–"
"no, i-it's fine. this is my fault, anyways." you spun on your heels, heading towards the nearest bathhouse. "i'll see you around, tanjiro."
the young slayer was about to follow you, but he figured it'd be best to leave you be. emotions leave room for vulnerability, something he knew you weren't too keen on, so left you to gather your thoughts.
instead, he had to go talk some sense into someone else.
it didn't take long for tanjiro to find zenitsu; all he had to do was follow the depressing smell. and there he was, curled up in his room.
"zenitsu..." said boy flinched at the sudden voice.
"o-oh tanjiro," zenitsu slowly sat up, wiping the tears from his cheeks. "what're you doing here?"
"well," tanjiro scratched the nape of his neck. this was a touchy subject, and he was feeling nervous about bringing it up. "i talked to y/n earlier, and–"
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
zenitsu's wailing caused tanjiro to flinch; he gulped at the yellow boy's sudden burst of tears.
"tanjiroooo," zenitsu nearly knocked the poor boy over as he went to hug him. dramatically sliding down, zenitsu dropped to his knees and continued to sob into tanjiro's stomach. "why doesn't she love me, tanjiro?! i-i was right all along! i-i-i'm just gonna DIE ALONE!"
"z-zenitsu," tanjiro frantically strarted. "please calm down. "
"CALM DOWN?!" zenitsu screamed. "i find out the woman i love doesn't love me, and you tElL mE tOo CALM DOWN?!"
"zenitsu–"
"i didn't know you were so heartless, tanjiro! HOW COULD YOU?!?!"
"z-zenitsu, please just–"
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
tanjiro gulped as zenitsu continued to wail loudly into his shirt, and he finally pushed zenitsu so he could look at him, grimacing as a string of snot connected from his shirt to zenitsu's nose.
"ZENITSU!"
he sniffed, "w-what?"
"she does love you."
"n-no she doesn't," zenitsu admitted in defeat. "i asked her, a-and she didn't answer me, so..." his voice grew increasingly weaker, and tanjiro sighed.
"i know she loves you zenitsu, but–"
"i-if she loves me," zenitsu cut him off. "why hasn't she told me..." he asked in defeat, and tanjiro relaxed his shoulders.
"i-it's just...not easy for her to say, but zenitsu, haven't you noticed her show her love in other ways..." tanjiro asked in a knowing tone.
"w-what," zenitsu paused to sniffle. "whaddya mean?"
"just think back for a moment, zenitsu."
zenitsu furrowed his eyebrows, thinking back.
----
"y/nnnn," zenitsu cried out in fear. "i-it's so dark out here!" you sighed.
"well, yes zenitsu, demons can only come out during the night," you responded sarcastically, pushing forward through the woods. "so, why wouldn't it be dark out?"
"y/n!" zenitsu scurried to catch up with you, as he somehow fell behind. "please don't leave me! i wouldn't last a minute out here alone!"
"c'mon," you interlocked your pinkies together, causing zenitsu's panicking to cease. "just stay close 'nitsu," your voice grew soft, eyes softening every so slightly as you kept them locked on the terrain ahead. "everything's okay."
zenitsu didn't say anything, only looking at your connected pinkies as his cheeks and the tips of his ears dusted pink, trailing behind you like a lovesick puppy.
----
zenitsu slowly stood from his kneeling position, as his mind reminded him of, yet another, declaration of love from you.
----
returning from a rather tiring mission, zenitsu couldn't wait to collapse on his comfortable bed. he'd never taken a bath so quickly in his life.
after changing from his uniform to a comfortable kimono, zenitsu collapsed into his bed. the soft mattress has never felt so comfortable.
just as he was about to doze off, zenitsu heads his door close. he didn't bother opening his eyes to see who it was, he was far too tired for that, so he remained still listening to the soft padding if feet approach him.
feeling his hair get pushed back from his forehead, zenitsu's heart nearly pounded out of his chest when he heard you.
"i'm glad you made it back, zenny," you whispered before pressing a soft kiss to his forehead. "rest well."
gently pulling the blanket over his shoulders, you gently ran your fingers through his soft hair. after you finished tucking him in, you quietly made your leave, carefully closing the door behind you.
zenitsu's eyes shot open, any ounce of sleep leaving him. he couldn't wipe the giddy smile off his face that night.
----
gripping his hair, zenitsu let out a panicked wail.
"AHHHHHHH!!! WHAT DID I DO?!?!"
"calm down," tanjiro spoke out. "this can be fixed. just go talk to her, and i'm sure everything will work out," tanjiro placed a soft hand on his friend's shoulder with a reassuring smile.
he didn't have tell him twice.
before tanjiro could even blink, zenitsu was out of the door and on his way to find you.
you just finished your bath after sanemi's training, and are currently seeking refuge in your own room.
"nnnNNn-chAaAaAnAAAAANNNN!!!"
your door nearly flew off it's hinges at the force zenitsu used to open it.
"zenitsu? what's wro–oof!"
arms wrapped around your waist, knocking you to the ground in a bone crushing hug.
"please forgive me, y/n-chan," he buried his face into your chest, immediately flustering you.
"i-i don't even know what you're talking," you tried nudging him off of you, but that only caused his grip to tighten.
"i doubted your love for me! i promise it'll never happen again!"
"zenitsu...you were right to question me..." your eyes cast down to the floor in a guilty manner. "i-i've never been able to say it, so i see why you'd have your doubts," zenitsu lifted his face out of your chest, resting his chin on it as he looked up at you.
"but i promise you," you finally looked up at him, and his heart nearly melted at the nervous smile you gave. "i...i really do love, zenitsu."
...
your smile fell; zenitsu didn't say a word, only stared at you. did you wait too long to say it? was it not convincing? because you do mean it.
"zenitsu, a-are–"
he tackled you to the floor again, this time, rubbing his cheek against yours before peppering it with vigorous kisses.
"hahaha," he laughed, feeling giddy. "you loveeee meee!"
you deadpanned, and playfully rolled your eyes with a scoff. well, at least he feels better now.
~3 hours later~
"y/nnnnnnn" not again.
you huffed as zenitsu cooed your name for the millionth time, "what."
"do you love meeee," he asked in a whiny/teasing tone, drawing patterns on your cheek as he did so.
"yes," you rolled your eyes. "for the millionth time," you mumbled to yourself.
zenitsu was back to his giddy, lovestruck self and began nuzzling into your side. you gave an exhausted sigh.
'this is why i didn't say it.'
