Weird request but- if that's okay could i request Zenitsu, Tanjiro and Inosuke with a demon slayer reader that comes from another country but knows doesn't know japanese? Like the first time they met for a mission they literally communicate with gestures. They do learn pretty quickly in the end but their lack of knowledge often leads to hilarious situations/shenanigans (So crack basically!!).

oiran - used to address a high-ranking prostitute in taisho period of japan
kamaboko squad || hashira pt. 1 || hashira pt. 2
❄︎ tanjiro kamado
first and foremost this guy is amazed, and also kinda puzzled that demon slayers existed outside japan
you stumbled upon him when he was going undercover as a hostess too in the red light district
you two immediately recognized each other, because of his keen sense of smell and because of your sharp eyes
IT WAS A MESS
you resorted to just helping the people evacuate because you did not want to get in the way of combat
you learned japanese pretty quickly but there was still some naivety when it comes to their inside jokes and culture
a lot of dumb moments with this guy
it was a mess, because you two cannot understand each other. it was a whole two hours of gestures and drawing of diagrams and pictures. you had to hold back your laugh at tanjiro's poor illustration of his friends and the pillar. after confirming each other's identity, tanjiro brought you to the meet up place of him, inosuke, zenitsu and uzui.
there was one thing though, the language barrier. the only thing that made communication possible was because of uzui's knowledge of the language you speak, being a former shinobi
you managed to get your message across, that you'll be responsible for evacuating the people, since the four of them are the ones who are able to communicate during combat
after that, you sticked to tanjiro, and the two of you managed to understand each other. it was funny at times though, because you are gullible, and he's an airhead
"so, the pillar that night is the god of flamboyance?" you asked, you never knew that japan had these kinds of god. he nodded feverently as he continued to eat.
"how about you, which do you rule over?" you inquired and he stopped eating, looking straight at your eyes. he blinked once, twice, thrice.
"rule over?" he asked back
"yes, aren't you a god too?" you queried carefully. he put down his chopsticks and began to blink rapidly. he pointed to himself and tilted his head while looking back at you
"i'm a god?"
"are you not?" he seemed like someone who could be the god of honesty, because he was not capable of lying. he racked his brains for answers before giving a firm nod at you
"i am"
❄︎ inosuke hashibira
the two of you first met at his solo mission at a nearby town
you were on your way to the headquarters because oyakata-sama requested for some aid and manpower from foreign demon slayer corps
THIS GUY WILL UNDERSTAND IMMEDIATELY
his guesses are not on point but he gets what you're trying to say
even as you learn japanese steadily, this guy will make everything about him
teaches you boar language as well
you were staying at a rest house when a commotion occurred outside. grabbing your sword, you saw a boar head sparring with a demon. apparently, one managed to escape your hold earlier. you opted to get the people to safety to prevent damages
afterwards, you tried to introduce yourself to him and explain your situation but it took a few tries before he understood you (with the help of his kasugai crow).
you weren't able to meet oyakata-sama yet because of personal reasons, so inosuke insisted on taking a detour on the mountains, he taught you a few words that could be useful when communicating during missions
"so you're the boss?" you asked with wide eyes as he let out a boisterous laugh while nodding in agreement
"and you're also the god of the mountain?" you continued, watching as he relished in your acknowledgement and praise. "do you have a shrine? or a temple?" you asked, making him stop in his tracks
dear god you just inserted a new idea in his head.
the next time you meet him was when your aid was needed in a mission in the red light district. remembering that he told you that he was the boss, you exclaimed and greeted him from a distance
"oyakata-sama!!!" you shouted, making tanjiro and zenitsu freeze. uzui's eyes almost popped out of its sockets as he glared down at inosuke.
"WHAT NONSENSE HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING THE FOREIGN MEMBER!? HOW DARE YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS OYAKATA-SAMA!?"
you didn't mean to almost end inosuke's life by the hands of uzui, but, he is oyakata-sama? right?
❄︎ zenitsu agatsuma
exhilarated at the thought of a new female slayer joining their missions
TRIES SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND YOU
to the point he wants you to teach him your language
the two of you met at the butterfly estate when he was recuperating
you popped in sometimes during their training and during your breaks from japanese lessons
saves you from tanjiro's and inosuke's dumb concepts
"y/n-chaaaan~" he called out upon hearing your footsteps approach them, making him pause from training. he grumbled in annoyance when aoi pulled him back.
introduction was quick, because his enthusiasm went through the roof, and he understood your drawings and diagrams and broken japanese while explaining your circumstances
literally pulls you away from tanjiro and inosuke because he knows that those two will try to trick you into believing false things about japan and its culture
however, he can't always keep his eyes on you
so one day, when you two were training, you brought up a topic that you got from a reliable source (tanjiro and inosuke)
"hey, zenitsu, what's it like being an oiran?" you asked innocently, cleaning the blade of your sword. zenitsu, on the other hand, looked like he was about to butcher two people soon
"w-wha- where did you even get that term?" he asked slowly but you can see his eyes filled with bloodlust. oh how he wanted to bury his friends 6ft underground right now
"well, tanjiro and inosuke told me that you were an oiran" you said, making steam go out of zenitsu's ears
"what did they tell you it meant?" he treaded lightly, making you turn to him confusedly. "well, they told me it is used to address someone who almost turned into a spider" you answered back and zenitsu did not whether to laugh or cry. "i heard about the natagumo mountain mission, there are a lot of oiran in the corps, huh?" you muttered to yourself
safe to say, zenitsu made tanjiro and inosuke feel what it feels to be almost turned into a spider

author's note: sorry for the irregular updates! this is the second update for today! i have a lot of works stored in the drafts but i tend to finish and answer reqs first (which are mainly for mha and kny) i hope you like this and have a wonderful day!
𑁍 itadori yuuji
(i'd like to establish the fact that yuuji always pouts when you prank him)
so yes, he pouts the first time you do it
because you love his kisses, always asking for one when the opportunity arises
so he was a bit confused and hurt when you ducked out of the way
he’d go in for another kiss, only for you two to lean to your right to avoid it
he’s so confused and hurt at this gesture so he tries to think if he did anything wrong to upset you or make you act like this
then it clicks in his head
it might be because he used the wrong detergent, and the whites are now stained with color
his eyes go wide and he tried to lean in for a kiss again, testing his theory, proving it right when you avoided again, frowning at him this time
his eyes gloss with tears, clinging to your arms and refusing to let go until you stop avoiding his kisses
you give in after five minutes only because he also decided to tickle you while kissing you, making you unable to evade his kisses, a big smile on his face
“okay okay, it’s just a prank” you admitted and kissed his cheeks softly, earning a giggle and playful smack on your arm
he leaned in to press a quick kiss to your lips before resting his head on your chest
“hey, i’m sorry for the laundry, i didn’t mean to mix them”
your eyes went wide, nudging him off your chest, making him look at you confusedly
“YUUJI! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE LAUNDRY?!”
oh, so you weren’t mad about that
𑁍 megumi fushiguro
(it is hard to coax him after a prank so why did you even think about doing this)
but you do anyways, and he catches up on early, knowing it’s a prank
but you don’t know how to yield, so you keep on evading it for THREE WHOLE DAYS (payback for that handholding thing maybe)
convinced that it isn’t a prank because you cannot resist his kisses
he rarely gives you kisses so you usually cherish each but you’ve kept on evading them for three days, it’s not a prank? right?
he racked his mind to think if he ever did anything to make you mad or upset
did gojo put you up to this? he might just punch that mop hair one of these days
did gojo record the other day when a girl asked him for directions and misled you into believing he was flirting?
that can’t be right, you won’t believe gojo that easily
but what if it’s right? what if you’re fed up? then what?
so he does the right thing, he takes you to the theater to see a movie and bought you dinner afterwards
“so uhh, about um, how do i...” he trailed off, not knowing how to bring it up
you chuckled and stop drinking off your soda, pressing a kiss to the corner of his lips, making him flush red
“hey, that was just a prank. gojo said it’d work” you admitted, laughing when his eyebrows knitted together
let’s just say you had doubts that gojo was the strongest sorcerer around when megumi’s divine dogs beat him up the next day
also, no kisses from him for ONE WEEK
𑁍 nobara kugisaki
(yeah no, your face is going to get bruised by kisses no matter what kind of evading you do)
but you kind of like that so you’ll go ahead with this prank
is kind of suspicious that this is a prank, but the glare you sent her made her yield and believe that you really are mad
but she did not believe that she did anything wrong, because she is always right
she’d kiss you all over with no relent, making you so close to giving him up
for the sake of that 150,000 yen worth of bet with gojo, you lashed out on her
“WOULD YOU STOP ON FOOLING AROUND, KUGISAKI?!”
SHE TEARED UP
you wanted nothing more than to hug her and cuddle her and kiss her for hours but a hundred thousand yen was on the line (this is for your new bags, nobara, please hold on)
she runs out of the room, and you texted gojo, jumping in victory when you see 150,000 yen deposited in your account
you did not waste any time, buying her the new bag she wanted last week
you ran to the desert shop you two would always have a date in, seeing her gobbling down all the ice cream mochis
you chuckled and hugged her from behind, pressing a kiss to her nape, making her turn around to glare at you, eyes lighting up when she saw the paper bag,
“that was a bet with gojo, your bag was on the line so i had to do it” you said, suppressing your laughter when her lips trembled
“and so? did you think i would yield on a limited edition designer bag?”
“you won’t?” you asked, rubbing the back of your neck while swaying the paper bag
“i would” she said and took the bag, peppering kisses all over your face, making you laugh
𑁍 toge inumaki
(bold of you to assume that he doesn’t know that this is a trending prank everywhere)
he does not like it, not in the tiniest bit
in a dilemma whether he'd do it back or just annoy you until you give in and surrender
he goes with the former, because he wants to show you who's the real boss in the relationship so you'll stop with these silly pranks
has surprisingly good patience, he lasted 5 days man
you were baffled, you thought you'd get him real good with this prank, but why'd it backfire?
you had to coax him this time, but he looked at you with blank eyes, refusing to lower his collar
you became the annoying one for the day, clinging onto him and following him as if you were his shadow, but to no avail, he refused to give in
you could smack gojo in the face for putting you up to this but that stupid infinity is holding you back (a traumatized ass honestly)
you set up a date night in your room, building a mini pillow and blanket fort and prepared some snacks
he arrived soon, surprised by the array in front of him
you tackled him with a hug, holding him in a tight grip while planting kisses all over him, not giving him a chance to evade them
"love, that was just a prank! forgive me please?" you asked and tugged on his collar
he chuckled and lowered his collar, planting a soft, sweet kiss on your lips
after that, he carried you onto the fort you made and cuddled, watching a movie
it might seem like it wasn't a big deal to him, but little did you know, he was already plotting a payback
𑁍 maki zen'in
(i thought we already settled to never EVER prank this woman again????)
you don't back down from a challenge, however, especially if it's from that walking credit card
so with bragging rights and his silence for three days on the line, you gave this prank a go, hoping that your girlfriend wouldn’t break up with you
it was a must for you to kiss one another after waking up
so maki was dumbfounded when you ducked her kiss, opting to fix the blankets
she thought you did not realize she was about to kiss you so she hugged you from behind, leaning in to kiss you
only for you to evade, freeing yourself from her hug
girl was like “???? tf is wrong with you???”
UPSET MAKI ACTIVATED
won’t talk to u for the entire day, no affection whatsoever too and won’t even eat with you at lunch, making panda and inumaki laugh at you as you pick at your food with a pout
your tactics doesn’t work aka you dug your own grave and desperate situations call for desperate measures
so you faked being sick, missing your first and second period to make it more believable
it succeeded when maki barged into your dorm during lunch with food, stopping in her tracks when she sees you cleaning
knocks the broom off of your hand and proceeds to carry you in your bedroom (bridal style) and spoon feed you lunch quietly
“hey, i’m sorry, please talk to me *fake coughs*” you continued to act, earning a grunt from her
you smiled in victory when she planted a quick kiss on your forehead, “do that again and i’ll find a new partner, airhead”
take this threat seriously because she WILL NOT hesitate to do it

characters: tanjiro, inosuke, zenitsu x gn!reader
❄︎ tanjiro kamado
his hands are calloused and scarred, years of swinging blades and training are to be thanked for this
he's a bit concerned about the state and feel of his hands but he does not let it hinder him from holding yours
holds hands absentmindedly, he does not even realize that he is holding your hand
does not matter when or where, he will hold your hand if he feels like it, as long as you are comfortable ad okay with it
loves playing with your fingers, running his fingertips along the expanse of it and twisting and pulling at it lightly to relieve the tension it has
in the midst of battles, his hand will still find yours and grip onto it tightly before unleashing a breathing technique
he likes holding hands at solemn moments too, when you two are recuperating from injuries, when you are taking breaks from training. for tanjiro, it is the short, stolen moments that makes it meaningful
and when the flame hashira passed away right in front of him, he held on to your hand so tight as if his life depended on it
and when muzan took control of his senses, it was your touch that brought him back. the scent of your hand and the smooth curves of your palms brought him back
for tanjiro, your hand is his anchor in this stormy world
❄︎ inosuke hashibira
his hands are rough and scarred after all those years of living and surviving in the mountains, also a bit sweaty at times
he actually has no issues with his hands, says that the scars shows his manliness and victories, and you couldn’t agree more
holds your hand all the time, you have to pry your hand off his grip most of the time because he is reluctant to let go
does not let the others see it though, so he walks behind the squad during missions, beside you, just to hold your hand
traces the lines on your palm with his nail, also likes to draw random stuff on your palm, letting you guess what he just drew
but there are times when he does not want to hold hands
that is in the midst of battles, and when he is injured
he does not want you to feel the coldness of his palms and does not want to hold you with bleeding hands
he really loves your hands, making flower rings from the prettiest flowers he found in the forest, makes sure you have at least 5 of it.
even better if you have smaller hands than him, because he likes to compare hand sizes and wants to keep your hands warm by sandwiching it between his
your touch brings him warmth and solace that he failed to have during his childhood
❄︎ zenitsu agatsuma
has surprisingly rough hands accompanied by chipped nails, all because of the years spent under anxiety and pressure brought about his inability to perform the rest of the thunder breathings
the time or place does not matter, this guy doesn't let go of your hand
always holds on so tight, to the point that your hand becomes numb and his knuckles turn white, you're surprised he hasn't broken your bones yet
comes up to you and just holds it, sometimes using it to pat his head, or to cradle his face, he adores hand holding
when i said never lets go, i mean never. not in battles, not during recuperation. he only lets go when you are taking a bath
there's also one scenario wherein he lets go, but he often prays that this scenario does not occur often
he lets go of your hand when he's hindering you during a combat
so, after letting go and putting some distance to let you move freely, he waits until the demon you are facing turns to nothing but ashes
checks your hands for injuries, cuts, wounds. he doesn't want to see your hand dirtied or fractured
kisses on the knuckles before sleeping
your caress to zenitsu is like his beacon of light in the dark world, an affirmation that you'll stay, always

author's note: HAPPY VALENTINES MY LOVELIESSS!! I HOPE YOU ALL SPEND THIS DAY NICELY WITH YOUR LOVED ONES ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎ also, they made douma look so hot in the new ep oh great heavens. added a bit more than jusy /dating/ relationship hcs and added more sweetness because it's 02/14! i hope u enjoy this and have a lovely dayy!! <33
𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙞...
it doesn't matter who liked who first, yoriichi will confess to you as soon as he is sure about his feelings
will also find the right timing and place for his confession, to make sure that you are comfortable
although he does care about your feelings, he does not mind the chances of reciprocation. he's at ease as long as he's able to confess
in the early stages of your relationship, yoriichi is kind of awkward and hesitant about the way he acts around you
kind of treats you like you're made of glass and very tense when you two are alone
but all that dissipates after a few weeks
takes you out on dates at least once a week, it is an unspoken rule
be it he plans a picnic on a sunday, or shows up at your doorstep at eleven in the evening to go to a hot spring, he will find time to be with you
his kasugai crow will always land at your windowsill every other night, a letter from yoriichi carefully tucked in its beak
the letter's content was about how he was doing, the details of his mission, how much he misses you, how he looks forward to your next dates, and how he falls asleep every night to the thought of loving you the next morning he wakes up
he knows that you know how dangerous and difficult his job is as a demon hunter, which is he reassures you all the time, that he will be safe
lets you treat his wounds (very rare though because he always gets out unscathed) because it makes you feel at ease
whenever he comes back from a mission, no matter the duration, he'd always have something for you
be it a new kimono, a trinket, a pair of earrings, or even sweets, yoriichi will never come home empty handed
during his day offs, he'd always ask you if there are places you want to go to or if you only want to stay in
if you choose the former, you two would visit the place you like with yoriichi by your side at all times. not too suffocating nor too far, he's just, there
holds your hand in public as long as you are comfortable with it and takes you to try different cuisines
if anyone gives you any sort of suggestive or ill gaze, all your lover needs to do is to send a condescending gaze to the other person
if ever you want to stay indoors, yoriichi will take this time to help you with the chores
he cooks from breakfast to dinner and tries to minimize your workload
tries to learn how to sew, and does repairs in the faults in the house too
as for sleeping together, yoriichi is fine with either being the small or big spoon, as long as he sleeps nect to you
he prefers to be the small spoon after long missions, while he prefers to be the big spoon on normal days
very gentleman, we already established this on your first date in the night theater
the epitome of beauty, of grace, of purity
yoriichi is everything you'll ever need, you'll ever want
and you're the one he needs, the only one he'll ever need
and as your relationship continues to bloom and grow deeper and stronger, talks about marriage starts to appear
plans about the future are spilled from the lips
and yoriichi is afraid, because nothing is for sure
he's not a god, nor a deity, nor some sort of invincible being, he's no more than just a master of his craft
but yoriichi also wanted to be selfish for once
and it was worth it
the smile on your face when he put the ring on your finger, the blush on your cheeks as you walked down the aisle, the light in your eyes as he pulled you for a kiss
the joy he felt as he tied the knot with you, outwighed all the negative feelings he felt beforehand
cooking meals together, picking fruits in the forest, swimming in the lakes, gardening and planting together
don't forget the silly dances in the living room while he hums your favorite song, the moonlight outside making him look more breathtaking
oh, only if you knew how much yoriichi adored you with every inch of his being
how much he thanks the gods before he sleeps for giving you to him. how much he thanks the gods when he wakes up that he's given another day to be with you
only if you knew how much yoriichi loves you more than his own life and duties
how much he wants to cling to you just like he did to his mother, everyday for the rest of your lives
how much he looks up and respects you because of your strength like his older brother
only if you knew the regret that filled him when he sees you and your unborn child's dead body on the tatami mat
only if you knew that he spent the rest of his life making sure that the same tragedy will never befall on another family
and you do, you know
because yoriichi felt at home at last when he sees you and your brilliant smile in the afterlife, your left arm cradling your son
yoriichi felt at home when he had you both in his embrace
because yoriichi tsugikuni, the founder of all the breaths, the strongest there is, got to where he is today because of you
he managed to have the breath of sun, because you brought it to his world
after endless nights of looking at the moon, you gave him the sun, the stars, and everything else
he was chosen by the gods, he was given the strength, the sight, the power and speed. he was chosen to put an end to the misery in the world
and he's glad you chose him
you chose him to be your home
and that was the best decision you ever made
additional a/n:
me writing the first half: mhm okay, we will write fluff because in this house, we adore yoriichi
me on the second half: yknow what, let's add a pinch of angst because why not
me at the end: OH WAIT YEAH IT'S VALENTINES! oops, hope you still like it though
Hiya bestie! What about some cute headcanons for our boy Inosuke with a demon reader who has a personality just like Mikasa? Like they met somewhere in the mountains before Inosuke joined the demon slayer Corps and reader got very attached to him and decided to stay by his side? :> <3 Maybe Inosuke also wears a box attached to his back where the reader also remains in and they often fight together in battles :D
Take your time and have a wonderful day! <333 sending much love! *^*

author's notes: this is long overdue but thank you so much for waiting! ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎ hope you don't mind that i included zenitsu and genya. i hope you enjoy this and have a wonderful day! <3
❄︎ inosuke hashibira
he first met you at the mountains after sundown, sensing your presence meters away
you seemed quiet and fragile and therefore, he took it to his advantage and made sure to end you quickly
yeah, that didn't go as planned
because when his makeshift wooden weapon was mere inches away from your neck, you jumped away and began to attack him with no relent
and when his weapon grazed you, your wounds regenerate just as quick as it was wounded
your fight lasted until the moon was high up in the sky and you knew that he was out of stamina
deciding to end this fruitless fight, you broke his wooden weapon
you were surprised that he didn't stop, began to fight you bare handed
you thought he was a nuisance
he is, actually
and so, you went with the next best thing, wounding him on an organ
there, he calmed down and sat beside you after realizing everything was futile
after that, he urged you to tell how you became a demon
you can't tell since you don't remember anything from your human days
inosuke decides that you are useful for battles and takes it upon himself to bring you with him everywhere
you silently agreed too, you found his flexibility scary but intriguing at the same time
he made a box of you out of wood and stones
even though you were quiet, he sensed that you were uncomfortable with the sharp and hard surface of the box
all he got was the widening of your eyes when he brought back a chunk of lion's skin to place inside your box
you punched him hard in the face. how can he expect that you'd sit in a box with semi-fresh lion blood!?
after two nights bickering and settling stuff, he brought you along wherever he goes
you got attached to the boar head so you just went along with him, not having anything better to do
you'd help him fight other demons, because you, though blurred, remember how one killed your mother
he marvels at how you're composed and unwavering everytime
you were also quite skilled in fighting and did not require his aid
when he told you about him joining the corps, you contemplated getting away from him
yeah, he didn't let you, because he needed you in battles
and because he also grew attached (he’ll never admit this)
soon, you two met tanjiro and nezuko, and you two aren't so lonely anymore
you'd always fight alongside him on his solo missions and find herbs whenever his injuries are too serious
you seem indifferent and unbothered but inosuke knows you care, silently and in your own way
inosuke was just on his way home that fateful sunset, he never felt it in his intuition that he’d find his home, in you
❄︎ zenitsu agatsuma
he met you at his training grounds late at night, when he was silently practicing behind his grandfather’s back
you looked at ease and charming under the moonlight, sitting on the grass as you watched the flowers dance
but your combat skills were the opposite
because he accidentally let go of the first technique of breath of thunder and you began to attack him, recognizing danger as the thunder resonated
but when he tried to strike back, you’d just skillfully evade him and snicker at how he was crying
the fight did not last long, zenitsu passing out from the fright and fear you brought him
the nights progressed like that
him spying on you as you laid on the grass and admired the moon
you got fed up and asked him things, striking up random conversations
he did too, eager to know more about the demon under the moon
so he got attached
you got attached
you two'd only meet at night, duh his grandpa's a former hashira
soon, he entered the final selection, and you saw him off
he returned a week later, still teary eyed
he started to create a wooden box for you to stay in during his missions (which he's very reluctant to attend)
he filled them with flowers and other decorations and blankets to make you comfortable
you're more part of the corps than he is
simply because you're the one who gets the job done all the time
you fight the demons, evacuate the civilians, calm him down and do everything else
he's very grateful though! and tries to help in other ways
you both met tanjiro and nezuko soon enough, and you were glad to have more company
you were zenitsu's reassurance during his solo missions, and he tries so hard to keep up with you
zenitsu just wanted to train that night, but he was flad to have an encounter with you under the moonlight
bonus! genya + demon!reader (but doesn't follow the request details)
❄︎ genya shinazugawa
he met you when he was training at night, figuring out how to move the boulder himejima tasked him to do
he came back to the forest after a shower, freezing in his steps when he felt a demon nearby
taking his gun, he went to the source of the scent and aura
he saw you perched on top of the boulder, looking upwards as you swung your feet around
not hesitating, he fired his gun
only to freeze when you evaded the attack, head whipping to his direction
he was puzzled when you did not show any intent to attack nor to harm him
all you did was stare at him for a few moments, before tapping the space beside you and going back to staring to space
— "you have a rare blood. it makes me feel thirsty, but somehow you also feel like one of us"
seeing your guard down, he did the same, relaying to you his abilities and skills
you told him in turn your experiences when you are human and how you plan to go on as a demon
you two exchanged words and stories under the night sky, all the way until the sun was nearing the horizon
you hopped off the boulder and waved goodbye to him, fading deep into the forest
he knew a friendship was not possible if he wanted to continue to learn under gyomei
you knew a friendship was not possible because he was a demon hunter
both of you knew that this was only a chance encounter, meant to end just as quick as it began
but to genya, the demon who sat on top of the boulder and stared at the stars while listening to his pathetic story left an imprint in his heart
— "let's meet on the battlefield one day. let's be on the same side, fight on the same side, and win as one!"
this guy definitely was the first to confess his feelings for you
has been keeping it for quite some time now, but it all just becomes too much so he decided to confess to you
he tried to suppress it so hard because you were an unreadable person, and he had no clue if you would return his feelings
so he waited and waited, to see signs that you like him back too, but to no avail
he musters up his courage to sneak a letter in your locker, asking you to meet in the rooftop after class
upon arriving there, you saw him fidgeting around and as his eyes met yours, his freckles was covered by a deep shade of red
“i… i um, ʰᵒʷ ᵈᵒ ⁱ ˢᵃʸ ᵗʰⁱˢ ᵍᵒᵈ, ilikeyouverymuchforquitesometimenow”
the sudden confession took you off guard but you broke out into a soft smile afterwards
you approached him and ruffled his hair lightly, making him look at you wide-eyed
“i’m glad i didn’t confess first, thanks for the ego boost, ‘zuku”
a flash from the corner caught your eye, and you saw tsuyu take a photo of the two of you, along with ochaco who was recording the entire ordeal
“so does this mean, we’re together now?” he asked
before you could respond, tenya’s voice resonated, “it is beyond 5 in the afternoon, we aren’t allowed to loiter here in the rooftop anymore”
yours and izuku’s laughter was drowned out by the complains from tsuyu and ochaco
𖣔 shoto todoroki
poor baby confessed acidentally, but you both confessed at the same time
took a long time, to the point that you contemplated confessing first because you have a thin patience
but you can't blame him, he led a rough life so far so it was difficult to understand feelings, let alone love
he wasn't oblivious nor ignorant, so he can see the littlest signs of you liking him
took his sweet time to the point the squad was getting impatient, so they had to improvise
it was lunch time when ochaco and tsuyu approached you, inviting you to join them for lunch since they had some questions about the literature quiz later
arriving at their table, you stopped in your tracks, behind shoto, when you heard that you were the topic of the three guys
"when do you plan on confessing to y/n?" izuku started, looking at shoto with a sly smile
"i'm not sure yet. i don't think things will go smoothly right now" shoto replied, continuing his meal
"there's no time to waste, todoroki, what if other guys catch her attention?" tenya added fuel, making shoto freeze at his statement
izuku took this as his cue to make your presence known, greeting you as you took a seat next to shoto, feigning innocence as if you just arrived
everyone was stifling their giggles until the end of lunch time. shoto then cleared his throat, gathering everyone's attention
"listen, i... uhh, i've liked you for quite some time now, i was just unsure when or how to-" he was cut off by the ring of the bell. lunch was over
you gathered your stuff (they actually really needed to ask some things about literature)
"hey, there's this cafe that recently opened downtown, wanna check it out this saturday?" you asked
the rest giggled and squealed in delight, making you smile as well
he nodded, his eyes lighting up as a small smile appeared on his face
𖣔 katsuki bakugo
i'm betting my entire ancestral heirloom, you will never get this one to confess first
that being said, you confess first
you were reluctant to confess at first because katsuki has this tough and rough image so you had an inkling that things will not go smoothly
for starters, you did not know how to approach this guy who look like he'll blow anyone up within a 5 meter radius
you delayed it, kept on delaying and delaying until your patience finally wore thin, deciding to suck your uneasiness up and just confess
it was not easy
desperate situations call for desperate measures, you had to turn to eijiro, the best friend
being the best friend he is, he set you and katsuki up so you can confess without interruptions
d-day, katsuki was rooted in spot when he saw you there, instead of aizawa who "needed to talk to him"
"that damned red-haired keeps messing with me, i'll fucking blow his guts to pieces"
he calmed down though, at the sight of your wide eyes and small smile
you approached him, muttering a quick "ilikeyou, willyougooutwithme?" before facing away
a menace, a TOTAL menace. "yeah, you've been pretty obvious, y'know?" he said smugly, but the red tips of his ears gave him away
you laughed at his poor attempt to hide his shyness, and your laughter only grew louder when the entire bakusquad appeared from their hiding places, a string of profanities escaping katsuki's lips

a/n: i'm still trying to understand the (complex) personalities of the LOV so i'm sorry if my characterization is bad :( hope you'll like this, have a nice day as well <3
𖣔 dabi
he may act nonchalant and ignorant, but he notices all the things you do to yourself
at first, it doesn't phase him, thinking that it was just fatigue and desire to get things done
but then it starts to get serious
you barely eat anymore or go out of your room, only going on out during missions
so he realized that he needs to act, immediately
he knows your feelings, has felt it, and he almost let go but he knows he has something to accomplish, so do you
at first, he resorts to making sure that you eat enough, and that you get enough sunlight
he does this by joining you for meals even though he does not usually eat
and he pulls you to go to the park, even though he prefers hiding from the public eye
as for taking out your anger on the enemies, he lets you be, but he intervenes when you are at the point that you become too hyper
he steps in, and takes you to safety to help you control your emotions before going back to the site of combat
he makes sure you get adequate sleep, to reduce the tiredness you feel
and on the cold, windy nights, he'd run his hand through your hair, to lull you to dream land
he repeats his actions, until you slowly but steadily get better
and if you don't, he exerts more effort. even uses his personal time to just join you and provide companionship as you cry
he doesn't speak, but you know he's listening. you know he understands as he awkwardly rub your back slowly
dabi secretly cares, because even though he is indifferent, he doesn't want anyone to feel the emotions that used to swallow him
𑁍 tomura shigaraki
to be perfectly honest, he doesn't notice anything until kurogiri pointed it out
at first, he'd only point it out and tell you to gather your shit, because he doesn't want emotions getting in the way of missions
when your wellbeing declines dramatically, that's when he becomes a teeny weeny bit concerned, he can't have a member dying now, yknow?
so he forces you to eat, eat, eat but kurogiri tells him that it is ineffective when you throw up
so he resorts to patience
he tries to understand why this is happening to you, and spares some time to listen to your thoughts
and he becomes more aware and cautious about your circumstances
he lets you go bonkers when facing the enemy but steps in when you almost injure yourself
lets you play video games with him to occupy your mind and set aside the thoughts
(he'd offer you one of his hands to hide your face in when you cry, kinda musty but thanks ig shiggy)
cuts you some slack on missions, sometimes lets you sit out
he'd ask kurogiri to warp you and him to some good and peaceful places to ease your anxiety
is very patient until you progress and get better each day
but if his attempts fail, he'd subtly tell the others to look out for you too
when he's alone, he looks up the internet on how to make you feel better
tries to hire a private therapist to cure your depression, with your permission of course
tomura might be aloof and indifferent, but he cares for everyone in the depths of his heart. he'd like to provide a family for the lov, a family that the members were robbed of
𖣔 himiko toga
notices right away, and knows that it should not be taken lightly and needs immediate action
she won't point it out to others and like to keep it herself, to see what she can do for you
she'd observe you closely during meetings, either sitting across you or beside you to gauge your emotions and response
when your appetite begins to decline, she'd rack her brain to remember what your favorite food is and she'll try to make it
(fails and almost burns the hideout so she resorts to just ordering)
will eat with you
and do your hair afterwards, styling it to match her own
she'll also offer to help clean your room, while doing so, she matches outfits for you
goes out to the mall with you to relieve your stress and frustration, and also to get you some sunlight
lets you go on a rampage with enemies but she will step in when you lose your sense of rationality
also because you were getting drenched in too much blood, and even though it'd be useful for her quirk, she doesn't want to see you covered in blood
she stays with you whenever there's nothing to do, just keeping you company
listening to your rambles, complains, thoughts patiently
hugs you and comforts you with words as you cry on her shoulder
when you eventually get better, she will keep on hanging around you, because she didn't want you to go back to how you were
when her tactics fail and your mental health remains stagnant, she will talk to you to seek proper treatment
if you agree, she will always come with you during your sessions and check ups
if you do not wish to, she will understand and decide to keep a closer watch on you and always try to make you feel better
she'd always affirm you that you are not alone, and that she is always there for you
himiko is very patient and is a very good companion. she will patiently and carefully rid of the dust and dirt that you are in, pick you up from the muddle, making you shine again like the precious gem you are
additional a/n: a gentle reminder that depression shouldn't be romanticized and we cannot fully depend our mental health on a person. writing this, i am reminded once again that a lot of people are going through difficult circumstances and our health, no matter the aspect, can decline so much. to whoever reads this, i want you to know that you are not alone in your battle. there will always be people who are ready to stay and accompany you in facing life's challenges. my inbox is always open if you ever need someone to talk to or someone that will listen. you are loved and important, please always take care of yourself ♡
bite marks, calloused, scarred. all those years of training and gripping the handle of blades, his hands has almost molded into the shape of the handles.
he's not a fan of hand holding, likes to keep his space to himself, and also because he already forgot what his hand used to feel like, a bit insecure of his hand
you respected his choice and gave him all the space and time he needs, never overstepping boundaries
but this moment came, when you just had to hold his hand. you needed to
his gaze was far, and his eyes clouded by an emotion you couldn't decipher. he looked at the ocean, particularly its other side
you knew the thoughts that was running through his head, so you did the only thing you could do
walking up to him, you took his hand in yours for the first time, interlocking it between your fingers, giving it a gentle squeeze afterwards
his eyes faltered, turning his gaze at your form, meeting your eyes that peered up at him
he gave you a small smile, pressing a kiss to the crown of your head
"the other side of the ocean, it must be a mess. but you're not alone, eren. we're here, always" you affirmed and rubbed your thumb along the back of his hand
he nodded and turned his gaze to armin, mikasa, and the others who was busy splashing away
he gave your hand a gentle squeeze
❀ mikasa ackerman
has the prettiest hands
loves handholding but only when you two are alone / not in public
does it at the most random times, doesn't even realize she's holding yours until you give her hand a gentle squeeze
you remembered the day she held on so tight to your hand
you were walking through the streets of marley and pretending to be locals when she grabbed your hand as you sped through the crowd, the others following behind
she stopped in front of an ice cream stall, ordering the two of you a cone
all the while keeping your hand in hers
you ate the ice cream, still hand in hand, ocassional squeezes here and there
even in the tent where everybody fell asleep in, passing out drunk from the alcohol, her hand still managed to find yours
even in the midst of chaos and war, her hand held onto yours tight, a silent promise of never letting go
and even though tears rapidly fell atop the blood stained hands, neither of you faltered, still holding on tight
because with mikasa, hand holding is the purest way to affirm the other that they are there, they are present
hand holding is a reflex for the two of you, finding its way to each other no matter the time, place or situation
with mikasa, hand holding is knowing you're safe and at peace
❀ armin arlert
sort of shy when it comes to skinship so you'll have to be the one to initiate it
like mikasa, armin prefers to hold hands in private, away from the prying eyes of other soldiers and cadets
his hand is large, totally enveloping yours whenever you hold hands
loves to clasp your hands and sway it back and forth as you take a night stroll, talking about the day's events and plans for the following day
has a habit of kissing your hand, just right on top of your knuckles before parting paths on a mission
you had a love-hate with this gesture
love it because it was one of the rare moments where he was okay with pda
hate it because you never know if it was the last one
so when you had to split up, you having to deal with reiner, and him having to deal with bertholdt, the kiss he placed felt painful and bitter, a few tears landing on the back of your hand
and you hated yourself, when you were too afraid to hold his burnt hands, afraid that he'd crumble to ashes
so all you did was wait
and armin was awoken by drops of tear continuously landing at the back of his hands, a plea for him to wake up
his eyes met your reddened ones
he interlocked your hands and placed a kiss on your knuckles
