Heeeeyyaaa can I request for a Tanjiro x Rengoku! Sibling Reader? They can be like GN!
this would be like where Rengoku survives. Where Reader gives their thanks to Tanjiro for saving their brother, poor boy is in awe of Reader but of course he’s always polite.
basically while Tanjiro is doing the hashira training arc I imagine Rengoku going like “Haha! You seem fond of my sibling!”
I wrote this on paper at work and it kinda got off topic but the story is still there.

The day started like any other. You woke up feeling uneasy as you always did whenever your brother was on a mission.
'He hasn't been gone for too long, I'm sure he's fine you told yourself as you braced yourself to leave the house. Like Senjuro, you aren't well with a sword, but that didn't stop you from going to the master's house and asking for a job. the master painted you to the insect Hashira, and that's how you because the butterfly estate's physical therapist. Your father said it was a shame that you couldn't fight with a sword. Just Useless. But you didn't there what he had to shy cause he was a good for nothing drunk.
When you arrived at the butterfly estate you were greeted by shinobi, "Good morning Y/n" she greeted,
"Is something wrong, Ms. Shinobu? You seem upset." You commented, the fact that Shinobu waited for you was enough to set alarms off.
"Always so observant." She chuckled but her being nervous was making you nervous. "Your brother successfully completed his mission but he is in critical condition with multiple life changing injuries. I believe that he will make it but I wanted to warn you before you see him."
As she trailed on your mind wandered to has you were gonna tell your little brother, what would your father say, would this prove him right? NO. Kyojuro is strong and fight with his entire body. He will pull through because he is the flame Hashira and you are gonna help through the full healing process. Yes you can and will, you-
"Y/n... Are you okay?" Shinobu broke your train of thought.
"I was asking you if you wanted to work today, you don't have to, I'll understand."
"I want to, I know that my brother is gonna make a full recovery and I'll be here everyday untill he does." You beamed.
"Well alright then. Oh before you see your brother would you mind checking on some patients? They're in need of your positive attitude." She smiled as she lead you to a room.
She opened the door to reveal Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke. You had met them after what happened with the spider demon.
You locked eyes with Tanjiro and saw how he started to tear up causing you to rush by his bedside to comfort him.
"Woah woah its okay, its gonna be okay. What happened?" You said while patting his head.
"We were on the train with Rengoku. We watched as he fought an upper moon and now hes' gravely injured." He cried.
"Rengoku's alive, and he did his job as a Hashira. You also did your job as a slayer. Everything done to save lives is important. You made sure my brother came back, and that's all I could ever ask for.
"He told me that If he dies-"
"He's alive." You cut him off. "And he will pull through, he's too stubborn to die. So focus on getting better. I'll worry about my brother, okay?" You looked over at the other two, who looked too depressed to look at you. "That goes for all of you. We all have jobs to do. Heal up so you can fight."
You chuckled as you heard them groan in reply. There has been many times where people have told you that your positive attitude reminded them of your brother, your role model. It was the best compliment you could receive.
A moth had passed since Kyojuro had been back and he recovered fast.
"N/n I have told you many times that I am fine. You should spend your energy on someone else." Kyojuro sighed as you fussed over him.
"I just want to make sure. You were in really bad shape when you arrived."
"As you can see I'm fine now."
"Really? Then get up and walk home."
"Really Y/n.... Just go." He said as he jokily pushed you away from him.
You were glad to see him in good spirits. You stepped outside to take a breath. For the past month you've been working yourself to the bone to distract yourself for the pain your brother had to face while you don't even have the stamina to be a kakushi. It might not look like it on the surface but your fathers words struck deep, way deeper than you were comfortably admitting.
'At least its a nice day out' You thought as your skin soaked in the heat from the sun. As walked further into the butterfly estates' courtyard you say the perfect spot to destress. A tree not to far from the engawa and with a perfect amount of shade. You sat of the side facing away from the estate and breathed a sigh of relief.
You jumped at the sound of a voice and whipped your head around to face the culprit. Your eyes locked onto a equally startled Tanjiro.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." He sweat dropped.
"Its fine, what are you doing here?" You asked while making space for him. He sat.
"Aoi said we were done for the day and this is my favorite spot."
"Oh I didn't mean to jack it from you, my bad."
"no no no it's okay, I actually wanted to talk to you... I can't help but notice that you make sure everyone is okay and you keep a positive attitude while doing it. I couldn't even smell a hint of sadness from you from you when Rengoku came back. You fully believed that he would recover. You are incredible Y/n. I don't know how you do it."
"Thank you, Tanjiro, I could say the same about you. You put your life on the line for your sister even though she is a demon. If anyone's incredible, it's you."
"Don't discredit yourself like that, you might not be a swordsman, but you make sure all of us are fighting at our full ability and it's thanks to you that Rengoku is making such a fast recovery.
You were about to argue, but the determination on Tanjiro's face told you that he wasn't going to stop, so you laughed and thanked him instead. A scream interrupted your peaceful moment, and you and Tanjiro ran towards it.
Tengen was in the process of kidnapping Aoi while the triplet and Kanao watched. You weren't strong enough to take Aoi back by force, so your first thought to go get Shinobu.
"Don't panic, he's not taking anyone anywhere." You turned to Tanjiro and told him you were going to be right back, then ran inside to find Shinobu, but by the time you came back, the girls were all here, but Tanjiro was gone.
"He traded himself to help instead of us, Inosuke and Zenitsu went with him."
"Well seeing as the problem solved itself, Y/n can you help me make some medicine please?"
"Uhhhhh sure." You followed her back inside. You couldn't help but wonder when he was going to be back.
He's back and Tengen is retiring.
"Who'd you fight this time." You asked as you massaged his arm muscles.
"Uppermoon 6 and they split into 2." He winched in pain.
"Jeez no wonder Tengen is retiring."
"Y/n~ you spend all your time doting on Tanjiro. We're hurt too, ya'know." Zentisu whined from his bed and Inosuke huffed.
You chuckled before giving Tanjiro a sympathetic glance only to see him looking up at you. His eyes were filled with something you couldn't even name but as soon as he realized you noticed he looked away. You didn't think much of it and went to work on the other 2.
When it came time for Hashira training Shinobu sent you to work with your brother. Some people can't handle his never give up attitude.
As you were going around the training ground and helping the slayers who were on the verge of passing out, you noticed Tanjiro sparing against your brother. He noticed you too, it distracted him.
Your brother also noticed, "has my sibling caught your attention... Haha! You seem fond of my sibling! Don't worry, they are fond of you too!"
