GenZen Week Oneshot!

Day 6 -Protection/Kisses

Saying that Zenitsu was a bit of a scaredy-cat was like saying that sometimes trees had leaves or the sky was blue. Anyone who’d met the blonde quickly became aware of both how easily spooked he was and how loud he got when he was. And any that wound up paired with him on a mission soon realized that they’d be pulling double duty on both slaying the oni and protecting the frightened thunder breath user.

This was a job that Genya Shinazugawa both easily adapted to and readily agreed to once he and the blonde became close; first as friends and later as lovers. The raven enjoyed fighting and killing oni, testing his skills as a marksman and to a lesser extent a swordsman. And as a bonus he got to keep an eye on and take care of his friend-turned-boyfriend instead of worrying how he’s doing alone or paired with some other slayer.

But just like during the winter some trees became bare and during the brief windows of dawn and dusk the sky was painted in reds and golds there were a few times where Zenitsu wasn’t the one being protected in a battle. Under a few very specific circumstances the blonde could be bold and protective, vicious even.

The first was when he fell unconscious. If the thunder breath user was asleep or knocked out and came under threat of danger (or was in it before passing out) then he would react to the cause of said danger instinctively and efficiently. This was the most common way one saw the blonde’s ability as a slayer.

The second and most vicious response was when those he held most dear were threatened. Like right now for instance, when an oni had tried its very best to rip Genya to pieces and more or less succeeded. The only reason the raven was still alive was his habit of eating the flesh of oni in battle to gain their abilities.

While Genya focused on using the oni regeneration he had in his current form to heal as quickly as possible and avoid dying from his current state Zenitsu’s attitude had taken a complete 180 from the rest of their battle thus far, charging the oni with the speed and force of a bolt of lightning. If he weren’t in agony from his wounds and focused on healing them, which was also painful (lucky him), then the raven haired teen would be thoroughly enjoying the show his boyfriend is making of the oni that nearly killed him’s demise.

By the time Genya had fully healed, ravenous and sore, Zenitsu had beheaded the oni - who scattered to dust - and ran to his side. “Are you ok?”

“Eh… I’ll live.” the marksman growled out, oni-like state making him grouchier than usual as it always did “I’m starving right now though.”

The shorter slayer snorted before pulling his newly healed boyfriend into a kiss, chaste and little more than a peck on the lips. “Let’s get going then, get you something to eat besides bits of oni.”

“Nice as that kiss was could I get another better one?” Genya asked as he stretched and fell into step with the blonde, who turned to look up at him flatly. “You want me to stick my tongue in your mouth right now, when not even ten minutes ago you swallowed a chunk of bleeding oni flesh? Without even eating something or rinsing out you mouth first? Really?”

The taller slayer flushed “Later then?”

“Later.” Zenitsu agreed.
