Kamaboko Squad w/ a Same Personality Reader
Synopsis: Headcanons for the main trio - Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke - with a reader who acts like them
A/N: So while Tumblr won’t notify people about my stuff, I’ll be doing scenarios I guess??? Also, I wanted to try my hand at branching out to other characters so of course, I’ll be starting with some light Kamaboko stuff
☀Tanjiro
Mommy and daddy (or maybe Mommy x2 haha)
That’s it
That’s your dynamic
But in all seriousness, you guys are basically the parents of the Demon Slayer Corps (second only to the Ubayishiki couple lol)
You’d parent the Pillars, too, if they’d sit still long enough
The first time you guys meet you’re helping out in the Butterfly Estate and he came in battered really badly (maybe after the Rui incident)
You try to parent him immediately, of course
At first, something was bothering him a bit, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. Was it that you were really pretty? He didn’t know
And then he realized you were really nice. Like not even Shinobu and Aoi were that sweet.
And he’s actually caught off-guard because??? No??? Stop that??? That’s his job??? But also please continue???
(he hasn’t had his parents in a couple of years and he got whiplashed to feel motherly love again but shhh we ain’t getting into that)
What made him completely drawn to you was how you liked Nezuko right off the bat
No judgment whatsoever
Just immediately mama bird mode
“Oh, she’s a demon?”
* Tanjiro is panicking because what if you overreact *
“Y-yeah, but-”
“You poor thing. You’ve gone through a lot, huh? Don’t worry, we’ll protect you, okay? But I guess you don’t need us when you have a really dependable brother protecting you already.”
* cue Tanjiro’s heart going doki-doki *
“Mmph!” Nezuko has accepted you as a big sister
Welcome to the Kamado family congrats
“T-Thanks! But I think she’s been protecting me more. She’s really strong, after all.”
“Nonsense! I mean I bet she’s really strong, but you should give yourself more credit, Tanjiro-kun. You even stood against the Pillars for her.”
Well that just confirmed that you’re the best person in Tanjiro’s book (second only to Nezuko, of course)
You’re like the pair who constantly hype up your friends
HEAD PATS ABOUND (YOU GET A HEADPAT. EVERYONE GETS A HEADPAT)
Oh but you’re not all smiles, though
If Tanjiro beats people up or headbutts them into submission, your words are like a whip
No Mercy Mode™
You just straight dig into someone, especially if they’re being very stubborn or rude
The Kamaboko Squad have been on the receiving end of your lectures once
And they all unanimously agree: never again
You and Tanjiro sort of become one another’s support systems
You can only be the support system of so many others before you start needing your own
It was nice to be dotted on every once in a while
Also, no one knows, but when you’re put into a mission together, you two are a little more childish
Of course, you’re still a bit parent-ish then because Nezuko is with you guys
But at least you can forget life’s horrors for a little bit and be the kids you never got to be
⚡Zenitsu
First of all, y’all are a mess
Like everyone wonders how you’re still alive
They also think you shouldn’t be put in the same mission
Because, you know, y’all are (cowards) scaredy-cats
But Oyakata-sama figured out it’s best to let you guys go together
You were still Demon Slayers after all
It was difficult. Like really difficult. Not the mission - just you two
Y’all didn’t want to go
“H-he-hey, how about we take a break to-tonight?”
“Ha..haha… y-yeah you’re right. They’ll be fine for one more night, r-r-right?”
Of course, you guys still go (because you felt bad)
“I-I’ll go if you do. D-deal?”
“O-okay! Ju-Just don’t leave me, got it?”
You both are shaking like crazy
You have to take turns pushing one another to get moving
When Zenitsu (faints) falls asleep and he starts fighting really amazing, you’re stupefied
Bro was holding out on you wtf?!
You’re still shaking like a leaf but if Zenitsu was going to fight then so were you
Zenitsu later wakes up to you crying, your sword in hand, and the demon gone
He, of course, assumes it’s you who defeated the demon
“(F/N)-CHAN I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE WITH ME THANK YOU-”
“But Zenitsu-kun, you-”
“-I LOVE YOU PLEASE DON’T EVER oof”
You basically tackle him to get him to shut up
Y’all are a crying mess
He doesn’t believe it when you try to tell him that he defeated the demon, so you let it go (for now)
You end up being close friends since you’re always on the same wavelength
You’re basically the same person after all
God help Tanjiro when he’s put in a mission with you two
He basically has to babysit two whiny children
God help you and Zenitsu if you’re alone with Inosuke
He brings Zenitsu along as a punching bag and you go with them because Zenitsu literally cries at your feet to have moral support
One time, Inosuke used you both as bait
But he got mad when Zenitsu ended up taking the demon down
Now he just leaves you two if you keep whining and crying
All that aside, you guys get each other
So you talk about your insecurities without fear of being judged
Feeling like you’re not enough
Feeling like you’re the worst of the worst of the Demons Slayers
“But I don’t want to be a burden to anyone anymore.”
“R-Right? I want to help people. S-so, uh, let’s promise to be better!”
“You’re right, (F/N)-chan! We’ll both be better!”
You guys keep saying that, but you still try to skip the next mission
🐗Inosuke
Y’all are loud as all hell
People straight up leave the room when the two of you enter
You legit found each other because you were both yelling
“How DARE someone be louder than me?”
And it all just went downhill from there
You guys are always trying to out-compete one another
Stealth missions are almost impossible with how loud the two of you are
“Oi, (Wrong Version of Your Name)! Bet you can’t find the demon before I do!”
You say his name wrong, too, just to piss him off
“Shut up, Imotsute! I bet I can make them cry before I kill them.”
“What?! No, you can’t. I bet I’ll-”
You still get the job done, of course
But no one really wants to go with you two
Not when you’re bickering the whole way
Also, you’re pretty reckless and almost no one was down to look after two idiots
Of course, Tanjiro and Zenitsu can stand you enough to go on missions
Zenitsu doesn’t really have a choice because Tanjjiro is coming along
Also y’all drag him to your misadventures against his will to be a proper “judge” to your competitions
Tanjiro comes along to make sure y’all don’t die
You’re oblivious af, too
Especially when it comes to affection
You constantly fight over praise from Tanjiro
Tanjiro: “That was amazing! Good job!”
“Hear that? He said I was amazing!”
“The hell that was meant for you. He said that for me!”
But once y’all understand appreciation and compliments
You guys are trading those with one another, mostly just to try it out
But also because Tanjiro:
“Have you guys tried to have a competition on who can compliment the other better?”
“Bet I’ll win! Hey, Bakasuke, you, uh, fight good.”
“HAHA! You admitted I’m good!”
“I’m still BETTER though!”
Pretty soon you’re complementing each other in the battlefield
Which hella confused people who trained with you
“Hell yeah! Fuck ‘em up, (F/N)!”
“Thanks, Inosuke! You better not fall behind. Wreck ‘em good, too!”
“You know I will!”
You went from trash-talking each other to trashing on everyone else (mostly demons)
You still have competitions of course. No one backs out of those
You guys occasionally learn about life together, too
“Inosuke, look! What the hell is that? It’s gigantic!”
“Looks like a monster to me. Come on - let’s beat it up. Bet we can take it down no matter how big it is!”
“That’s a steam engine train, you dumbasses.” (Zenitsu)
Life is loud two times more but it’s never been this fun before
