𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: injury, the boys being idiots
𝐚.𝐧: this one is short and i tried a lot of new things with it but i think it’s sweet! inosuke our stubborn boy. 💕
𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐀𝐃𝐄. You had stopped engaging in regret back when you first joined the demon slayer corps. Sometimes it was hard to ignore the little voice in the back of your head, whispering harsh words, scolding you for being too reckless, or not patient enough, but you’ve become well trained in extinguishing the small sparks of doubt before they could turn into a flame and consume you.
Your choices were yours and you had made them with reason, you wouldn’t let that be taken away from you, by yourself nevertheless. Mistakes were friends, companions, they would follow you down your path until the very end. But you could choose whether you would let them drag you down or if you were to take them by the hand and embrace them, accept them, learn from them.
As a demon slayer regret is your greatest enemy, an all-consuming monster that held you back, dug its claws into your heart and squeezed tightly until you couldn’t think straight, couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe.
You couldn’t do that if you wanted to survive this job and you did.
Despite your rules, Never regret, Never look back, there were moments when it was very hard to ignore the little whispers and it was almost humanly impossible to shut them out when it came to this bunch of idiots. The idiots you had decided to team up with a while ago, the decision the little voice was mocking you for.
Idiots that despite just returning from a fight that had left all of them heavily injured and exhausted still took the time to bicker like children.
You were sitting, leaning against a tree, the first gleams of sunlight painting your faces and parts of the forest floor a soft hue of orange. It would have been beautiful, a glimmer of hope after the night of terror, but the calming picture was ruined by the screaming and shouting of Zenitsu and Tanjirou who had joined forces against Inosuke. The third boy wasn’t screaming but huffing and groaning in a similarly deafening volume.
You watched the boys with growing annoyance from your spot by the tree, teeth grinding together. Why you were still sitting down instead of grabbing the boys by the back of the neck like a feral kitten? Unfortunately, all of you had received battle wounds from the recent battle. Tanjirou had received a rib bruising punch to the stomach, Zenitsu has had his arm twisted until the bones had given in and Inosuke was suffering from a light head injury. He got away almost unscathed.
You had taken the worst blow. A demon had broken your leg, snapping your bone like a twig the first possibility it got. And that had been while you were distracted by Zenitsu’s calls for help.
Which was also the reason why Zenitsu and Tanjirou were currently trying to wrestle Inosuke to the ground, kicking and screaming while Inosuke tried to shake them off.
Not Zenitsu being a coward. No, you weren’t too resentful for him distracting you. It was your fault. For taking Tanjirou’s offer to join them on their travels.
You took a deep breath, closing your eyes and concentrating on extinguishing the nasty thought. You did not regret making that choice, you did not want to go back, you did not, you did not, you did not.
Zenitsu’s earsplitting battle cry forced your eyes open again, seeing that the boy was now sitting on Inosuke’s back, hands clawing at his boar mask as Tanjirou was shaking his arm and hitting the top of his head.
They were animals.
The reason for their attempt at murder, because now Zenitsu had his hand around Inosuke’s neck, was your broken leg and that you were unable to walk.
With your injuries combined it wouldn’t be wise to stay where you were now but instead seek a safe house nearby (which Tanjirou’s raven had informed you was only a few hours south). Since you couldn’t walk the only reasonable and responsible choice would be for Inosuke to carry you. With Tanjirou’s bruised rips carrying Nezuko’s box on his back was already liability enough and Zenitsu, with his twisted arm, would be unable to hold your weight. So the only one left, and you grimaced at the mere idea of it, was Inosuke.
The boy with the boar mask had immediately and vehemently refused when Tanjirou made the suggestion, which yes had offended you a little bit. It wasn’t like you were too heavy to carry, considering the number of muscles in his upper body he could probably carry a whole boulder. Thinking about it, maybe you should have just exclaimed your disbelief in his strength, that would have very likely resulted in him giving in to prove a point.
You didn’t know why he hated the idea of having you on his back or anywhere near him so much he had even tried to run away when Tanjirou had started pulling him into your direction, shouting profanities at him.
But it had gotten to a point where it was borderline insulting with how aggressively the boy refused. And it was getting annoying, too. If they kept bickering like this they wouldn’t be able to get to the safe house before nightfall.
You sat up, fingers digging into the cold forest soil as your injured leg shifted uncomfortably.
“I can walk fine by myself!”
Your voice was calm, almost inaudible to yourself over the sound of the insults Zenitsu threw at Inosuke’s head. But thanks to the boy’s good ears you didn’t have to speak up again.
The blond turned his head around and stopped mid-motion. Considering he was currently hanging off Inosuke’s back while Tanjirou had his arms slung around his neck, looking like he was trying to rip it off, it created a very funny picture. You would have laughed if the situation wasn’t so exasperating.
You fought yourself to your feet, grinding your teeth as you were forced to put weight on your injured foot until you were able to regain your balance. A twig cracked beneath your weight and you thought it perfectly echoed the sound of your bones when they had been broken.
Tanjirou’s eyes widened and he let go of the other boy to rush towards you to help you sit down again. He called your name in worry.
“No, you’re going to make your injuries worse, stop it.”
You shook him off.
“It’s fine. It’s already bad, Tanjirou, it’s very unlikely my bones will grow back together the way they should if we don’t get going and get some medical aid. The same goes for Zenitsu’s arm.” Your voice was without emotion, making Tanjirou grimace at you.
Zenitsu stared at you in shock before he started hitting Inosuke’s head violently, who started wiggling under the boy’s grip again.
“Stop being an idiot, do you want them to not be able to walk again!?”
You rolled your eyes, leaning against the trunk of the tree and trying to ignore the throbbing in your leg.
“If you think you can force Inosuke to do anything he doesn’t want to do then you’re the idiot, Zenitsu. Give it up.”
Tanjirou looked at you with sad eyes, probably feeling sorry he couldn’t carry you instead, but with his bruised rips Nezuko’s weight was burden enough and if Inosuke’s didn’t want to carry you it was very unlikely he’d carry the demon girl.
Zenitsu whined.
“Inosuke!”
The boy stood there unmoving, emotions invisible to everyone around him with his face covered by the boar mask. You were curious what expression you would be able to read on his face if it wasn’t for the accessory. Were his eyebrows furrowed, pretty soft lips pulled down in a frown? Or was his face relaxed, green eyes wide and unblinking?
You didn’t like your mind supplying complimenting descriptions whenever you thought of his face, it caused a warm and bitter feeling to curl in your chest. But you had seen his face, once, and it had been the prettiest face you’ve ever seen on a boy.
It made you upset, considering that the face belonged to the most stubborn person you’ve ever come across.
“Let’s go.”
You turned, careful not to put any weight on your injured leg as you started hobbling away from the trio and towards the rising sun, holding back a scream when your foot accidentally brushed the ground and a scorching pain shot through your flesh.
Tanjirou and Zenitsu scrambled after you, coming to support your weight and you accepted their help begrudgingly. You leaned on Zenitsu’s healthy shoulder, trying to put a little less weight on Tanjirou.
Every step was painful. Your leg was throbbing, blood rushing towards the tip of the toes now that you were standing upright, and you imagined you could feel your flesh swell with every passing second.
Tanjirou grit his teeth, trying to swallow the grunting sounds of the added weight of Nezuko on his back and you partly leaning against him pressing on his ribs.
You didn’t get far before Inosuke stood in your way, back straightened as he crossed his arms. You frowned at him, hot anger burning in your stomach.
“Are you kidding me? Just get out of the damn wa-“
Before you had the chance to finish your sentence Inosuke had turned around, back muscles flexing as he crouched down in front of you, leaving you stunned. Your eyes widened at the silent compliance and a warmth spread in your chest, crawling right up your cheeks.
“Now you are willing to help? I can’t believe you!” Tanjirou shouted but Inosuke remained crouched down, arms held up expectantly behind him.
You hesitated. Why had he suddenly changed his mind? Did he see you hobbling around and thought your sight was too pitiful to watch? You’d understand although it was incredibly rude of him.
Still, you didn’t have much of a choice, Tanjirou and Zenitsu were in no condition to help support your weight for the entirety of the way and it would slow you down, too. The sooner you got to the safe house the sooner their wounds could be taken care of and maybe your leg had a chance of survival, too.
You let go of the two boys, exchanging grateful glances with them and awkwardly hobbled forward towards where Inosuke was crouching. You carefully placed your hands on his shoulders, feeling how hot his skin was beneath yours…that was odd. You shook the thought off and leaned forward, giving Inosuke the possibility to hoist you up. His hands grabbed your legs, pulling you closer as he secured his hold around you and your face exploded with colour.
“Thanks, Inosuke,” you mumbled, trying to somehow keep as much distance between you two while also lying flush against his back. Yeah, you failed.
He only grunted before he started moving, walking forward without another word.
You glanced back, seeing Zenitsu and Tanjirou following begrudgingly as they stared daggers at Inosuke (and you since you were kind of in the way). Maybe you didn’t regret joining their little team after all…
You didn’t know why Inosuke had changed his mind but it didn’t matter now. You were exhausted. The attempt at walking had taken more out of you than you’d first thought. The throbbing in your leg had barely subdued and you knew that as soon as the rest-over adrenaline would be gone you would feel the whole extent of the injury.
Inosuke was silent, he wasn’t stomping nor swinging his limbs excessively like normally either. You realised in your tired state that he must be considerate of you. Which was sweet, you wouldn’t have taken him for someone to accommodate others’ needs.
Your eyelids shook in protest as you tried to keep them open despite your tiredness slowly consuming you, but your strength to keep your eyes open faded more with every second. The soft bounce in Inosuke’s walk was nothing less than comforting and the heat of his skin made you feel all warm. You had really tried to remain as upright as possible to not intrude on the boy’s personal space even more, but soon your head tilted forward with every step, eyelids heavy before you gave in. You fully leaned against him, your eyes burning and you decided to close them.
You didn’t know if you imagined it but you thought you felt the boy’s grip tighten around your thigh on the leg that wasn’t injured.
Some headcanons of Inosuke with a girlfriend who is relaxed and kind, who always takes care of his wounds and gives him kisses to make him feel better?
Inosuke Hashibara
How did you end up in a relationship with Inosuke?
Nobody really knows.
Inosuke would be a bit of a tsundere in your relationship.
Because Inosuke has difficulty admitting that he needs help.
At first, even for you.
But over time he learns to...
express his needs without using the word "help".
Inosuke is very stubborn about this.
Your personality calms him down.
He's not so aggressive anymore when you're around.
You could even say that he is kind to others.
Maybe a little.
You are one of the few that Inosuke lets take care of himself.
That is, if he is conscious.
If he's unconscious, he won't be able to resist much.
Kamaboko squad as boyfriends-gerneral relationship hc's
Summary: Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu as Boyfriends
Word Count: 455
Genre: Fluff
A/n: Sorry it’s been a while! To celebrate Demon Slayer’s new season I figured I’d write something for the squad! Part two with the pillars maybe?
Tanjiro:
-He is so sweet and respectful. KING shit.
-When you confess he'll go bright red before confessing back and asking you to be his.
-He relies and trusts you a lot to have his back(and of course he has yours.)
-He's a romantic gesture kinda guy whether it's giving you a flower or decorating the butterfly mansion on valentines day for you.
-Refers to you and Nezuko as "The two most perfect women of my life."
-Shares his meals with you if he knows it's something you like.-He really likes long talks through the night. He'll talk about his day or a butterfly he saw and honestly it's just so cute.
-"Thank you y/n for being mine." <3
-He really likes cuddling and small touches. He really likes just holding you and knowing you're there. There's nothing 'handsy' about it either, it's really pure.
-He is honestly so smitten with you. He's 100% convinced he'll spend the rest of his life with you.
Inosuke:
-Does he even know what dating is?
-You have to explain what it means but when he understands that you and him can become partners he'll parade you around screaming "LOOK AT MY AWESOME BOY/GIRL FRIEND!"
-He's one of the only people that he shows weakness around. He hides behind you or tugs on your sleeve when he's unsure of something.
-He always feels a little embarrassed about that so he compensates by trying to be "super strong and cool!" for you later on.
-"I"ll protect you y/n!!" -Your name is the only name he says right 95% o the time. (Only says it wrong when he's grumpy or tired.)
-Insists that he doesn't need care or cuddles but will curl up next to you after you've fallen asleep.
Zenitsu:
-Obsessed over you. Totally a simp.
-He loves taking care of you and being taken care of. He sometimes gives you more attention/gifts because he feels unworthy of you.
-He probably confessed really bashfully like- "Y/n we've been through a lot and i was just thinking...that...um...you can say no but......would you be my wife?"
-Wife? Hold up- Zenitsu is skipping a few chapters. You tell him that marriage is a little much but you would love to be his s/o and maybe wife one day.
-So happy, jumps around and bounces. He goes squealing to Tanjiro over how he got the most wonderful person ever.
-Courts you and takes you out often. He's surprisingly romantic and just wants the opportunity to do a bunch of couple-y stuff.
-When it comes to you, Zenitsu is truly brave. He might still pass out but he does it with the intention of saving you no matter what.
Pairing: Tanjiro x Gender neutral!Reader x Inosuke
Slot: playing with their hair
It was another sunny day and you were sitting down with Tanjiro,watching Inosuke train. Inosuke was incredibly strong,sometimes you wondered if he realized how strong he really was yet he was always so gentle with you. All three of them were training pretty hard,especially Tanjiro. Even through his smile you could see how exhausted he really was.
“Tanjiro” You called out but he didn’t answer you,he was already half asleep. He jumped when you put your hand on his shoulder.
“Sorry,Y/N did you need something?”
“Just come here” You put his head on your lap,running your fingers through his hair. You felt him relax under your touch and close his eyes. He was almost asleep when Inosuke came running.
“Hey!” Tanjiro was about to get up but you pushed him back down,he took off his mask and layed down on your lap,almost bumping heads with Tanjiro. "What about me,you're gonna give all your attention to Tanjiro" You were both frozen for a second because he actually said Tanjiro's name right. "What?"
"It's nothing" You ran your hands through their hair,Inosuke’s hair was surprisingly soft. It was only a matter of minutes before they both fell asleep,that’s when you realize that you were stuck here until they woke up. Sure you could move them but you didn't want to wake them up. They had been training so hard and besides there was nowhere you’d rather be that here with them.
Love Confession
Inosuke x gn!Reader
*:･ﾟ.✧*:･ﾟ.✧
a/n: turned out kinda crack-ish, Inosuke's personality is just so unpredictable and enjoyable to portray. hope I did the boar-head boy justice!! just want him to be happy 🥺 (btw I know the req was for black reader but I don't usually write descriptions of reader, thanks for understanding <3)
Requested by: @damnthatsahugeassname
(thanks @dasighosamu for the help when I got stuck! )
"I-I like you!"
It has taken you weeks to work up the courage to say this to your best friend, the sometimes obnoxious and always hilarious Inosuke.
"So what?" He deadpanned.
"I-I-I mean like like you. Like a crush!" You were getting flustered now. There was a part of you that expected this reaction from him, but when it actually happened you were at a loss for words.
"Hahhh!?" He stopped polishing his swords to look at you, face filled confusion.
"Ok how can I explain this...So you know when you feel that fluttering feeling in your stomach, and your face heats up?"
"Mmhmm!" Inosuke nods in understanding, and your face lights up.
Maybe there's hope!
"Y/N that always happen to me when I eat the poisonous herb instead of the good one in the mountains. Inosuke nods, pleased he's understood what you meant. "Or when I eat the mountain chicken meat without cooking it first."
"No no no I don't mean diarrhoea god damn it Inosuke." You said, rubbing your temples in frustration.
"Then what the hell you on about Y/N? You're being super weird. Let's go catch a big fat fish already!!" Inosuke yelled.
"Alright, it's kinda like...uhm...oH the feeling you get when you eat tempura!" A lightbulb seem to float above your head, as you praise yourself for the brilliant analogy. "I love you like, you love tempura!"
"Ehhhhh? You wanna eat me?" His expression was more incredulous now. "I guess that's practical if we were on the mountains but, I'm 98% muscle so my meat'd be tough." Inosuke was currently seriously analysing the prospect of you having to cannibalise him in an highly unlikely, imaginary scenario.
"Aghhhh ok I don't understand how you don't know what a crush is. I guess you did grow up in the mountains, but still..." You muttered to yourself, running your fingers through your hair repeatedly as you tried to think of something better.
Suddenly you broke into a sprint, dashing to stop right in front of Inosuke before grabbing his cute cheeks in your hands. Pretty green eyes looked at you in shock, as you took a deep breath in.
"INOSUKE HASHIBARA!"
"You are my favourite person, like in the whole entire world. And I totally want to spend every day with you, now and forever!" You pulled your head back, Inosuke squeezed his eyes shut, thinking you were gonna headbutt him.
instead, he felt your heated forehead against his, and your lips quickly closing in for a kiss. His eyes snapped open, your hands on his cheeks were trembling now, and before he could process what was happening you pulled away.
"S-so what's your answer?" You said, red to the tips of your ears as you braced yourself for rejection.
"Y/N...I don't know what that was but..." Inosuke asked, suddenly shy and looking away. "Can we do it again?"
You kissed him again, this time he tentatively returned the kiss.
When you pulled apart he pressed your cheeks between his calloused hands.
"Inosuke?" You said, confused and looking a bit like a goldfish.
"Y/N! YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE PERSON AS WELL. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ALSO CRUSH YOU!" Inosuke yelled, beaming at your bewildered face.
"Inosuke that's not how it w-"
You were cut off by him pressing another kiss to your lips.
Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) is one of the most successful shonen manga in recent years, with tens and tens of millions of copies around the world and an ever-expanding franchise. The record manga born from the pen of Koyoharu Gotouge has in fact succeeded in the feat of ousting the legendary One Piece from the top of the Shueisha house sales and the film, Demon Slayer: the Mugen Train, has become the anime film with the highest revenue in history. First published in February 2016, Demon Slayer was therefore one of the backbones that have supported the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine over the past few years. In the spring season of 2019 the opera was then transposed into an animated adaptation by studio Ufotable and from there the franchise of Tanjiro and companions flew into the stratosphere, reaching levels of popularity that had never been seen before. How not to mention, for example, the renowned episode 19 of the first season, which completely broke through the barriers of prejudice and the mainstream by plunging to the top of Twitter's worldwide trending. A survey was recently proposed on the Ranking. net website, which deals with drawing up rankings of the most varied genres and topics. However, despite the not particularly large pool of voters, these types of polls are often indicative of a general trend or liking that, as votes increase, would see its hierarchy consolidate instead of being overturned.
So no matter what, let’s take a look at the 20 favorite Demon Slayer characters from the Japanese public, in descending order.
—you simply wanted inosuke to treat you as his lover and do things lovers do together…
a/n: this isn’t actually angsty, it’s simply reader wanting to get fucked by a guy that wears a boar hat :,) also he is aged up here, to 21+
You knew being raised by himself and the animals in the forest he grew up in meant that inosuke didn’t know much about love or what it entailed. He did know that you were making him feel a certain way whenever you came around and he pulled his swords out on you and demanded you duel. You simply explained to him what crushes were and confessed you’d been feeling the same way and just like that you began dating. Zenitsu lost his shit when he discovered he had gotten a girlfriend before him, he figured nezuko would come around before you did. Just because you had the titles of boyfriend and girlfriend didn’t actually mean you lived up to said roles. Insouke pretty much acted the same towards you as before, there wasn’t a difference in his behavior much other than your sharing of a bed at night and even then there was no cuddling, it was more like his arms and legs would end up sprawled out over your body when you woke up.
You thought you were okay with not pressuring your boyfriend into doing anything yet, you figured you were okay with waiting and taking as much time as he needed to cope with the new found status of your relationship. But then the dreams started. Truthfully, the started innocently enough, you’d do something minor like hold hands or gaze into the other’s eyes. But lately, they’d been more graphic and visual. His hands groping and squeezing your body as he fucked himself into you or his tongue devouring that place between your thighs. It was becoming exhausting to wake up in the middle of the night in the middle of an orgasm having to cover your mouth to prevent insouke from hearing you. Your salacious dreams even began tainting your everyday thoughts, you were no longer able to watch the man train shirtless, memories of the previous nights dreams would have you excusing yourself to your bedroom.
Things got so bad tanjiro even asked you to speak to inosuke about your desires, he told you that you looked so tired and the lack of sleep these dreams were causing wasn’t good for your health. He was right. It was about time you stopped dancing around your feelings. So, you asked him to your shared room one night after dinner to talk instead of going out on a nighttime run with the other guys. He did as he was told and when you saw him, you realized just how pent up you must’ve been because your teeth sunk into your bottom lip. His hair was up in a sloppy but gracious bun, he already wore no shirt but on top of that, his pants were riding dangerously low on his hips.
“What? Are you sick or something?” He asks, he sits down next to you on the bed and you shake your head, your eyes meeting olive green ones. The moon allowed for a perfect highlight across his face, he looked ethereal right now. You couldn’t help the way you leaned into him, he raised an eyebrow at you and you gently placed a kiss on his lips. He looked shocked but also pleased. You kissed him again and then another time and then somehow you found yourself in his lap with your hands cupping his cheeks as you ground your hips down against his. The fabric of his pants creating a sinful amount of friction against your clit. If someone were to walk in, your desperation would be clear as day. Inosuke’s hands hesitantly found your hips and rested them there.
He seemed so nervous to touch you, his touches were feather light and sent shivers of pleasure up your spine. You discarded your clothes as your session went on leaving you bare above the man. If this were any other circumstance, you would’ve felt embarrassed but lust is the only thing you could feel and it was the only thing occupying your mind. His eyes widened as he took in every square inch of your body. He held one of his hands over your breasts and looked up at you with for a silent conformation, you nodded and he grabbed the soft mound of flesh in his hand giving it a squeeze. You let out a shaky moan of his name. He experimentally rubbed his thumb over your nipple and you whimpered, cunt surely leaving a wet patch on his pants. He licked up the side of your boob and you bite your lip when he took your hardened nipple into his mouth, sucking on the raised nub.
It felt so good, you couldn’t help but slip a hand down to your cunt, you licked two of your fingers and slid them inside of yourself. You rode your own fingers whilst he sucked on your eager nipples. Your eyes darted downwards to the bulge straining so obviously against the front of his pants. You removed your own fingers and undid the button on the front of his pants and unzipped them, you shoved your hand down the front to feel the burning of his skin against yours. Did he actually go commando? You giggled and pulled his cock out, giving the length of it long, firm strokes. His hips bucked up into your touch and you cooed at his reaction. He moved one of his own hands to your cunt and looked up at you again, you gave him an encouraging smile and his fingers traced your pussy lips. When his finger grazed your clit you jolted and he gave you a grin before nibbling on your pebbled nipple and rubbing against your eager little clit again.
The air in the room felt extremely too hot. Your combined moans mingled together to create a perfect opera of pleasure. Your cunt clenched around his fingers whilst they rammed in and out of your greedy hole. His fingers got coated in your own cunt’s arousal. He wasn’t fearing any better, his leaked so much pre your hand didn’t have any use for lube. His cock pulsed with every squeeze and jerk of his cock you gave him. You felt your high nearing and you leaned in and pressed a kiss against his lips. Faint I love yous were exchanged back and forth before you could feel his cock twitch in your palm before cumming and painting your hand white. You were so close but not quite there yet, he used his other hand to collect some of his cum and rub this fingers back and forth over your neglected clit. Your entire body spasmed as you came. Your cunt sucking in his fingers too eagerly. You fell forward on top of him, both of you panting as if you’d just finished a good training session, although this too could be considered a training of sorts.
“I’m tired” he said and you let out a noise of agreement.
“But we can’t stay like this inosuke, it’ll- insouke?”
Only soft snores could be heard from him and you sighed before rolling off of him. Next lesson he needed to learn about was definitely aftercare.
