I NEED MORE FICS OF HIMMM

Hanging out with Eyeless Jack

A/N: Very self-indulgent headcanons for what I would think hanging out with EJ would be like.

Hearts and reblogs are greatly appreciated!

Art credit: @IJWannaHaveFunn

We all know Jack isn't the type to talk much without reason so you would enjoy each other's company in relative silence.

Not to say it's awkward, but after about a month of the same silence, you both got comfortable with how quiet things got.

I'd go so far as to say Jack seeks you out just for the silence you both know comes with being in each other's presence.

Now, since Jack can't exactly go out in public without everyone giving him strange looks or even freaking out, you tend to hang out in each other's rooms or the infirmary.

With how sensitive his senses are, especially his hearing, you guys tend to just read or get work/chores done together.

Very domestic between you guys!

When you guys do talk, it would mainly be about what the others have been up to, whether it be Ben doing something stupid and getting yelled at by Masky or a mission you went on with Toby where you almost got caught because he can't control when his Tourettes acts up.

Sometimes, Jack brings you things from his victims to give to you whenever you see each other.

From things like a jewelry box and its accompanying jewelry, some books and comics he thinks you'd like to read, video games you can play, some sweets he finds in their cabinets and pantry, and he even occasionally brings clothes he thinks you might like.

There are times when you both decide that taking a stroll in the woods would be a nice way to spend time together.

Jack likes to chase you as you run through the forest like you're prey, you both think of it as survival training.

It's good endurance training for you as well, especially since Jack is fast as hell when he wants to be.

After the adrenaline rush, you guys go to a clearing not far from the house and spend some time stargazing.

It's so peaceful and you guys are just so happy to be in each other's company.

He wouldn't trade it for the world and neither would you.

So here you were, lying in bed sulking over the Demon Slayer ending. It sucked knowing that Gotouge had to rush the ending of the series but hey you were glad that at least there even was an ending. "Ahhh this is so sad... I'm gonna miss reading new chapters every week." Burying yourself deeper in your blankets effectively creating a makeshift cocoon, you're lulled to sleep by the Demon Slayer soundtrack quietly playing on the phone that was placed on the side of your bed. 

I wish I could meet everyone from Demon Slayer, I'd do everything I could to save them from dying...

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Finding yourself shivering due to the cold, you awaken to find that your blankets were missing, and more importantly, you were on the snow-covered floor of a forest.

Okay, what the fuck?

You wrap your arms around your torso resulting in futile attempts to preserve your body heat.

God, it's so fucking cold.

Squinting your eyes a bit to try and take in your surroundings, you push your back against a nearby tree for a small sense of security. You were afraid. I mean, who wouldn't be? Waking up in the middle of the forest with hardly any clothes while it was snowing would be pretty frightening for anyone to experience.

Where the fuck am I? Why is it snowing? It wasn't snowing at home, was it? It's still dark... Wait, where's my phone?"

Frantically, you try to search the area around you, although it was quite difficult since there was snow everywhere and the moon barely shone from behind the thick clouds. You eventually decide to give up, clutching your freezing hands in a pathetic effort to warm them up again. 

God damn it, I don't even have my phone with me. Where the hell even am I? How the fuck did I get here? How do I get back home? Should I stay here or go look for help? I don't wanna die in the woods ahhhhh-

Deciding it was best to find help as soon as possible to avoid freezing to death, you venture out in the direction you hope leads you out of the woods.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

After walking through the woods for a couple of hours, you can finally make out the sun's warm rays slowly rising into the sky from behind a neighboring mountain. With the sun now out, the snow around you begins to melt ever so slightly. 

Finally the sun! Oh, how I missed you so much, you beautiful ball of flames!

Stumbling out onto a dirt road, you look around for any trace of another person. Your eyes seemed to focus on a figure out in the distance heading in your direction.

Normally I'd be nervous to even approach anyone... but today I am terrified. Fuck it, nothing's made the slightest of sense today.

You jog over to them, your whole body still shivering and quite possibly about to become an ice pop. 

"Uh- um, excuse me? Can you please tell me where I am? And where I can find the nearest transportation system?" You keep your eyes trained on the floor, afraid of looking a random stranger in the eye whilst looking like a complete mess. The stranger shifts in place, an audible "Eh?" escaping the boy's mouth. "I'm sorry miss, I don't know what you're saying. Could you repeat that?"

Sumimasen? Excuse me? What the fuck?

Finally gaining some confidence, you tear your eyes off the ground to look at the boy in front of you, you take a step back while a small gasp leaves you. Standing in front of you stood a boy around the age of twelve or thirteen, with tanned skin, and burgundy hair that was combed back nicely, exposing his forehead that had a noticeable scar on the top left side of it, his wide eyes were also filled with the same shade of burgundy as his hair. His outfit consisted of a white robe with black pants, covered by a checkered, black, and sea-foamed green haori. Hanging off his ears were a pair of hanafuda earrings with a beautiful white-and-red flower design on them. In his arms was a beat-up basket with some bamboo and straw.

"What- Why do you look like-"

Woah, why does he look EXACTLY like Tanjiro? Is he a cosplayer? That scar looks way too realistic though- But maybe he's good with makeup? Also, his hair looks way too real.

You begin to feel quite self-conscious and uncomfortable under "Tanjiro's" stare, considering you were extremely undressed for the weather and you had no idea what he had just said. Plus, you looked like a blizzard just barfed on you. "Ah, could you maybe say that a little slower? And in English?"

He tilts his head in confusion, then shakes it with a confused smile adorning his features. "I still don't know what you just said. Oh- but you look cold." After saying whatever he said, he places the basket with his supplies down and takes his haori off to drape it across your shoulders, "There! I hope that's better for you... Oh, I should tell you my name! I'm Kamado Tanjiro."

Giving him a grateful smile, you instantly pause as he introduces himself.

Did he just... Say his name was Tanjiro? THERE'S NO WAY, IF HE'S ACTUALLY TANJIRO THEN THAT MEANS I'M IN DEMON SLAYER? WHICH IS NOT GOOD! 

You fall to your knees and Tanjiro visibly panics, "Are you okay miss? What's wrong? Did I do something to upset you?" Your vision blurs as tears begin to slowly drop from your eyes, "I don't know what you're saying, all I could understand was you said your name was Tanjiro- but- that can't be possible... There's no way you're actually the Tanjiro from Demon Slayer." Rapidly wiping your eyes from the tears you weakly point to yourself, "Not that it matters too much but I'm [Y/N]- ah, but you guys say your last names first right? Uh- I'm [L/N] [Y/N]."

"[Y/N]? Is that your name?" Hearing him repeat your name, you nod your head, clutching his haori closer to your body. Tanjiro's eyes soften as he grabs a hold of your hand, helping you up. He picks up the basket that was beside him and starts your walk. You let him lead the way, unsure of where the two of you were going, although you weren't too troubled with this, considering you knew Tanjiro would never do anything to hurt you.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Reaching a small opening in the side of a mountain, Tanjiro lets go of your hand and places the basket on the floor. "Nezuko," Tanjiro calls out into the opening.

Oh, that's right this is where Nezuko dug that hole, and then she got all tiny to fit into the basket!

Looking into it, the two of you see nothing besides a hole that was dug into the ground, "Huh? Nezuko! She's gone!". Right as Tanjiro finishes his sentence, Nezuko conveniently pops her head out with a worried expression resting upon her gentle features. You hold yourself back from fawning over her and settle with just giving her a smile and wave. Tanjiro turns to you with a bright smile on his face, "Ah, [Y/N]! This is Nezuko, my little sister." Without needing to understand Japanese to know he was introducing her to you, you happily nod your head.

Tanjiro then shifts his attention to the basket and gets to work in an attempt to make something good enough to transport his sister.

Wow...Tanjiro really is amazing!

You would've offered to help but you had no idea how to so you left him to do all the work. Not knowing what else to do, you turn back to Nezuko and talk to her, although it was definitely a one-sided conversation considering she had a muzzle over her mouth. Although she couldn't reply, Nezuko still seemed interested in what you had to say, so you eagerly told her about where you came from, not exactly specifying that you weren't from their universe and things you were interested in.

Finishing up the basket rather quickly, Tanjiro enters the "mini cave" urging Nezuko into the basket to continue their journey to Urokodaki. Switching your attention from Tanjiro and opting to just stare at Nezuko, what can you say? She's really pretty, she crawls into the basket leaving most of her body protruding from it. Stifling a laugh, you approach the siblings and pat Nezuko's back, "Nezuko, you should shrink down! Be tiny, be even more adorable than you already are!" 

The two of you watch as Nezuko shrinks herself down to a smaller size, "Ah, Nezuko, you shrunk!" 

"Yay, good job Nezuko!", both you and Tanjiro proudly pat her head, as the younger girl lets out a content hum. Tanjiro gives a slightly dejected smile as he faces you, "I'm sure you can tell by what you just saw but, Nezuko isn't human. She was turned into a demon recently and I'm trying to find a way to turn her back." 

You tilt your head in confusion and reply, "Tanjiro, I'm pretty sure you just told me some really depressing backstory or something, and I’m sorry for that, but I don't understand a thing you just said." His eyes turn into dots and you try hard not to lose it.

THEIR EYES ACTUALLY DO THAT HERE? DOES THAT MEAN I CAN DO IT TOO?

"That's right, you don't understand me since you don't speak Japanese. It's kind of weird... If you don't speak Japanese then what language are you speaking right now?" Shaking his head with a determined look on his face, he positions the basket that was carrying Nezuko onto his back and gently grabs your hand once again.

His hands are surprisingly soft...

"We should probably find you some new clothes on our way too since you could get sick wearing so little in this weather..." He trails off looking at your unique attire with a bit of red tinting his cheeks.

Ahh, he's so cute!

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

The two of you had been walking for a few hours now as was evident with the sun slowly setting in the distance. Tanjiro had wavered away from the trail and was now conversing with a woman who had her child close to her side. You didn't care enough to listen in on their conversation since you knew he was asking for directions for the mountain Urokodaki lived on. Awkwardly standing there, you notice the three of them turn to look at you. The woman swiftly gives a nod of her head and goes into her home. "Bro, Tanjiro, what was that? Why'd you all look at me like I did something wrong?" Thinking that was the end of it, you turn to face the road and take a few steps forward, "Ah, [Y/N], wait! We need to wait for the lady to come back out with your things." Stopping in your tracks after hearing your name and the word "wait", you give Tanjiro yet again another confused look.

Shortly after, the woman comes back out with some fresh clothes. It consisted of a black kimono with delicate pink roses patterned onto it, a sash (you think it's called an obi or something) a couple of shades darker than the roses, a white haori with matching flowers, and a pair of sandals and socks in her arms. Tanjiro gives you a warm smile and nudges you gently, urging you to take the items. The woman once again begins speaking, "Here's your change of clothes. You can get dressed inside. If you need assistance please just call for me and I'll be there right away." Trying to understand what she said, you just nod your head with a grateful smile plastered on your face, "Ah, thank you."

Tanjiro seemed to almost do a double-take, his eyes widening a bit.

He's probably surprised I spoke a bit of Japanese, heh.

The woman leads you inside her home, taking you to what you assumed was her bedroom. Getting dressed you realized you had no idea how to properly put on a kimono resulting in a considerable amount of struggle. Eventually giving up, you open the door a crack and call out for the lady, "Uh, how do you say it again? Uh, Excuse me?"A few seconds later, the woman peeks around the corner and notices the door. She enters the room and chuckles, "Here, let me help."

Once you're finally properly dressed, the lady hands you a small bag with your clothes neatly folded. You thank the woman awkwardly "Oh, uhhh, thank you..." In return, you receive a warm smile, "You're welcome!"

You meet Tanjiro outside and notice him attempting to pay the woman for her kindness. She shakes her head trying to give the money back, but Tanjiro grabs your hand and runs away while waving his free hand in goodbye.

Bro, now I feel bad- Tanjiro really just bought me some clothes cause I was under-dressed here. Well, at least I won't be freezing anymore...

As it gets darker, you begin to wonder how long it will take to reach Urokodaki.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Once the sun had fully set, Tanjiro let Nezuko out of the basket. She was quick to hold onto her older brother's hand and glance at you before setting off once again.

The three of you spot a temple in the distance and your heart begins to race.

Oh shit, the temple demon.

"Look, a temple!" Tanjiro exclaims, "There's a light on so some people must be inside. Let's go see-" He suddenly cuts himself off and you try to mentally prepare yourself for what's to come. "I smell blood! Someone might be hurt!" Tanjiro begins rushing up towards the temple dragging Nezuko and yourself with him.

Holy fuck, I'm not prepared for this.

Sample for New BNHA Story

CW/TW: Mentions of suicide

A/N: This has an abrupt ending (I didn't feel like continuing). This is something I've been thinking about for months so I decided to just write it. Not sure if this has been done before, so if it has... whoops?

Btw let me know if you wanna see more of this :D

You didn't know how to feel, or how to think at the moment. It was as if your whole body just shut down at the sight of your best friend, no, that wasn't your friend anymore was it, the villain in front of you.

He was laughing manically like someone had just told him the funniest joke he's ever heard. Normally his laugh would bring you comfort. His laugh would have brought so much warmth to your chest as you stared at his face with a grin of your own.

But this wasn't normal. Nothing about this was normal.

Right in front of you was your best friend who you thought was dead. Your mind flashed to the image of his broken body, sprawled across the cold concrete after he had jumped off your old middle school's rooftop. The image of his still alive body groaning in pain even after he hit the floor. Your screams of agony and loss as you tried to reach him, Bakugo and his "friends" holding you back, shock and fear-ridden across their faces.

No, he had to be dead. There was no way he was alive. He literally committed suicide right in front of your eyes. So why? Why is he here? Why is he with the villains? With All for One?

You felt Bakugo's arms wrap around you, preventing you from falling to the ground. You both stared in shock as Midoriya Izuku, your best friend, stood, alive and well, laughing at the expressions you both were making.

"Ah, Kacchan! [Y/N]chan! It's really good to see you both! It's been a few months, hasn't it? You both go to UA now, right? That's great! I knew you could do it!"

-> first things first, once danny breaks the fourth wall, good luck because bby that man will never leave you alone. he wants your attention on him and him alone. you either main him or risk getting your game glitched out til you do.

-> gets frustrated when you purposely let survivors go. this is not a charity party, this is a hunting trial. thinks you're going too soft and might honestly assume control of himself and take matters into his own hands if you keep it up.

-> depending on his mood, he might or might not care if you accidentally let some slip. it's okay hun everyone makes mistakes (but not 3 in a row). you're not like danny, a ruthless and cold-blooded murderer, so he understands. though if he keeps getting flashbanged he will take matters into his own hands again because he's trying not to go blind before his forties.

-> loves watching you scroll on your phone or eating when you're taking a break from matches. if you don't pay attention to him for long he'll start repeating his basic animations (stab stabby stab stab) until you look up and he can see those pretty eyes of yours again. ♡

-> absolutely despises when you switch to survivor. he doesn't get it. what do they have that he doesn't? what's the fun in being chased and hunted? he's so much more fun and entertaining- you can't just replace him like that.

->danny doesn't care about fashion or his appearance overall. his hair is often messy and with hits of dried blood here and there, and sometimes he forgets to wash himself after a kill but he loves when you buy him cosmetics. maybe it's the way your eyes lit up, or the small comments you make about how 'handsomely gorgeous he looks in red', and he craves that attention.

->believes you two are the match. no other killer or survivor could ever have what you and the ghostface have. his skills and your brains are the ultimate pair, any other could only dream of having a 'relationship' like the two of you have.

->snickers to himself as you make background commentary of how the trial is going, 'wow nea what was that?' 'damn are you just gonna leave your teammate die on first hook?' or his personal favourite... 'ace get your fucking ass off of the balcony right now'

->his dark, cold heart flutters in excitement as he hears you cheer after a 4k or after you get vengeance on some particular sassy survivors who think they can outsmart you. oh, how danny would love to see your hands covered in blood as you digged his blade into the corpses of-

->for now, danny will keep watching and testing his boundaries. his limits. watching you from behind a screen can only satisfy him for so long. he wants the real deal, he craves to feel you, your touch, the softness or roughness of your skin. he wants to show you that he's the only one good enough for you.

Japanese: normal text

English: bolded

Thoughts: in italics

After your far-fetched daydreams about proposing to Sabito, you watch as Tanjiro places his arms behind his lean body to prop himself up, "What do you want, jumping out like that all of a sudden!" Sweat dripped down Tanjiro's face as he yelled at Sabito.

Even when he’s yelling he still manages to make it look cute, what the fuck?

You quietly sat under a nearby tree's protective shade. "I should be the one asking that, what are you doing?” Sabito states plainly as Tanjiro gives him a perplexed look, "Doing? I'm training..."

 "How long are you going to sit there like that? Prepare yourself." Sabito's manly voice silences Tanjiro as he picks himself off the floor.

Damn Tanjiro, Sabito just called you out. 

"At least one of you is taking this seriously..."

Oh? Was he trying to call me out too?

As the two of them stand their ground in front of one another and the tension grows, your eyes wander around the area to see if Makomo was around.

Nope, don't see her… for now...

"Alright, bring it on." 

Oh shit, it's happening.

"But..." Tanjiro hesitates to attack, noticing a difference between himself and his opponent, "You're holding a wooden sword and I'm holding a real one."

Oh Tanjiro, honey, no. 

Sabito's posture relaxes as his laugh cuts through the tension in the air. The sweat on Tanjiro’s dumbfounded face now began to intensify. You slightly shift in your spot in anticipation of the upcoming fight. You already knew how it would end, Tanjiro being knocked unconscious, but that didn't stop you from silently cheering for him. 

Don't worry Tanjiro, you can do it!.. Eventually!

"Haha, you flatter me! Thank you for this care you've shown me! But do you really think you're able to injure me?"

Sabito rushes towards Tanjiro in a flash, forcing your friend to parry the young masked male's attack. "You don't have to worry at all, I'm much stronger than you! After all, I was able to slice that boulder in half!" Sabito mocks Tanjiro, and in a way you too, as your now panicked friend struggled against your favorite masked male. "You really haven't learned anything, have you? You haven't turned anything you were shown into your own skill!" Sabito overpowers Tanjiro, throwing him to the ground with a hard “thud". 

I'm starting to feel bad for him...

"Especially the breathing technique Urokodaki-sensei has taught. "Total concentration."

Realization flashes across Tanjiro's face, 

Oh yeah, it's all coming together now.

"You've only memorized the moves like some mere trivial facts. Your body hasn't experienced it at all." They both continue their attacks, and as time passes by, you realize Tanjiro was resorting to defense more than offense. In his eyes, you could see the determination after he realized Sabito made several points. "I'll make your flesh and blood remember it well," Their movements seemed to become blurrier as Tanjiro fought to keep up, "All of it, all of it, ALL OF IT! I'll make you NEVER forget the secret techniques Urokodaki has taught you! I'll implant them in your bone marrow." Sabito yells as his attacks continue to overwhelm Tanjiro more and more.

Sabito's so cool! Ahhh, I'm so going to praise him after this is over! After I check up on Tanjiro. 

"I am learning! I learn every day, I'm doing my best to learn with my life! But right now I don't know what to do at all... I can't move forward." Tanjiro's voice trails off, you note how disappointed he sounds in himself. "Keep moving forward if you wish to succeed if you really want to become stronger! You don't have any other choice except moving forward!" Blow after blow, Sabito continues to land hits onto Tanjiro, "Let me witness it, your power!" Tanjiro lets out a guttural yell before Sabito crouches down, landing a solid blow under Tanjiro's chin. The blow was so strong it ended up knocking your friend out cold, forcing his body to land harshly against the hard ground.

OW, OW, OW. THAT SOUNDED PAINFUL AS FUCK.

 A new figure appears at your side and you jump, startled by the girl now next to you.

JESUS CHRIST YOU SCARED ME.

"I'll leave it to you then," Sabito speaks to the small girl as you stare wide-eyed at the both of them. "So, uh..." Both figures looked down at you, one with a gentle smile on her adorable face and the other seemed annoyed, although you couldn't tell because of the mask.

AHHHH! NOW'S LIKE ONE OF THE ONLY CHANCES I'LL HAVE TO SPEAK TO THEM ALONE SO,

"You were so cool just now!" Your voice was unintentionally loud, causing Makomo to giggle at your enthusiasm. Sabito says nothing as he walks into the mist, disappearing alongside it.

NOOO COME BACK! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO PROPOSE!

"It's nice to meet you," Makomo's airy voice cuts through the silence and you give her a welcoming smile, "It's nice to meet you too Ma- my friend." You cut yourself off almost accidentally saying her name.

She does not need to know I know who she and Sabito are.

"You speak English?." Moving from your spot under the tree in favor of getting near Tanjiro, you reply, "Uh, yeah." Her head tilts to the side cutely, "Are you a foreigner?" You nod your head in reply and she smiles, "That's really interesting. Oh, but I haven't introduced myself yet... I'm Makomo, the other boy just now is Sabito..." 

I can finally call them by their names now. That's good, I don't have to worry about acting like I don't know them, well, I still do, just not strangers.

"It's really nice to meet you Makomo! I'm [Y/N], and my knocked-out friend right here is Tanjiro." Introducing yourself and your partner in crime, you begin to play with his hair, running your hands through his hair.

Soft.

Like a magic touch, Tanjiro begins to stir and slowly comes to. Both you and Makomo lean over his body as he finally opens his eyes, "Are you alright?" Brushing the question off, Tanjiro sits up swiftly and gets close to Makomo's face, "Did you see that move just now? That was an awesome strike! No hesitating or unnecessary movements at all! Very clean! I want to be like that too. I can do it, right? That move just now..." Tanjiro trails off, taking in the fact that a new face has shown up. Makomo takes his silence as an opportunity to speak up, "Of course you can. I'll be there to witness it." 

A faint blush spreads across Tanjiro's cheeks before questioning who Makomo was. She gives him the same introduction she had given you and you close your eyes.

Her voice is really nice to listen to.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

After her introduction, she spent the next few minutes giving the two of you tips, pointing out the places where you were lacking, and correcting anything you were doing wrong. Both you and Tanjiro listened attentively, making sure to not miss any information that left her mouth. 

God, I'm dumb.

"Why are you helping us?" Tanjiro questions Makomo as she sits atop the boulder. She was currently working on a flower crown, weaving the stems together. Tanjiro's eyes never leave the girl and you shift uncomfortably as you both watch her work. "Where did you two come from?" Finishing the crown, she delicately places it on her head.

"We really love Urokodaki." 

A small frown adorns Tanjiro's face, confused as to why the small girl wouldn't answer the question. "Are you and Sabito siblings?" Although you already knew the answer to all of Tanjiro's questions, you pretended to be interested.

Makomo smiles down at you both and shakes her head, "Sabito and I aren't related. Urokodaki took us in and raised us because we were orphans."

Bro, she's speaking in past tense...

She jumps down from the boulder and lands in front of you both, a mist beginning to fill the space around you, "There are other children too. They're all around, watching you both."

Ayo, that's kinda creepy.

Tanjiro's head tilts to the side, expressing his visible confusion. "What do you mean?" 

Not elaborating, Makomo changes the topic back to training, "Total concentration breathing... Accelerates your blood flow and heartbeat. Your body's natural temperature also shoots up. You're still human, but you get strong like a demon. You expand your lungs... And bring lots of air into your blood. Your blood gets excited and your bones and muscles thrill. You get hot and strong!"

If I didn't know what that meant already, I'd be so confused right now.

You look beside you and see Tanjiro's puzzled expression,

Me too, Tanji.

"How do we do that?"

"You must train so hard that you could die. There isn't anything else you can do."

Oh boy...

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

After Makomo's explanation, both you and Tanjiro continued pushing yourselves to the limits. Each day that passed, you both continuously swung your swords to the point it felt as if your arms would fall off. Even your lungs would scream at you to take a break as your heart would pound against your chest.

I feel like death. Please help meeeee!

Gasping for air, you let yourself ungracefully fall to the ground. The mist that had settled around the area caught your attention as Makomo appeared from behind the trees.

"H-hey Makomo..."  Rolling over to your side, you face the girl who had a content smile on her face. "Hello [Y/N], it's a lovely day isn't it?"

You give a slight nod and finally manage to sit up, your breathing finally becoming manageable, "I started training with Tanjiro as soon as I woke up. I really need to get strong enough so Urokodaki-sensei can let me go to the final selection."

She nods her head at your words, "You should take a break, you've been working really hard lately..." Makomo suggests, seeing just how exhausted your figure looked.

You sigh, wanting desperately to sleep the rest of the day, "I can't, I have to keep training... Even through all of this, I'm as successful at slicing this boulder as Tanjiro is at beating Sabito... No offense to him though."

Makomo smiles, "Speaking of those two, we should go see how they're doing... Maybe you could also ask Sabito to spar with you."

Spar with Sabito? I could get stronger that way... And I get to interact with him more.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." Being pulled up by the hand Makomo offered you, you both made your way toward the area the boys were located. Tanjiro lay on the ground, sweat dripping down his face as his arm rested on his forehead.

"Hey guys, the cutest girls have arrived!" You exclaim, Makomo's hand in yours as you approach the boys. "[Y/N]! And Makomo too!"

The boys turn their attention towards you two, with Tanjiro's face expressing his joy at your arrival. "What are you two doing here? Shouldn't you be training?" Sabito's displeasure is vocalized in his tone of voice.

"Aw don't be like that Sabito! Is it so bad that I wanted to see you?" You grin mischievously at the masked boy. The girl beside you giggles and nods her head, "[Y/N] is interested in sparring with you."

"Although if I'm being honest, sparring isn't the only thing I'm interested in when it comes to you."

Damn, I'm really going all out with flirting with Sabito... Jokingly of course.

"Ah, [Y/N]..." Tanjiro's cheeks had an embarrassed blush spread across them, although he still gave you and Makomo a gentle smile.

Precious boy! I'm going to protect you with my life.

"Don't worry Tanjiro! There's no way I could ever forget my partner in crime! The one person who I can't go a day without seeing a smile on their face." You coo at the younger boy, his blush growing brighter.

"Enough with the playing around, you came here to spar, yes? So get ready!"

"Oh, right."

Oh shit, we're actually doing this?

Without a second wasted, Sabito launches himself towards you, his wooden sword already raised above his head, ready to knock you out if you were hit hard enough on the head. Attempting to counter the blow with your own sword, you struggle beneath his strength.

Am I allowed to kick him? I kinda don't wanna hurt him though...

Noticing your hesitance, Sabito takes the opportunity to make a quick jab at your ribs forcing you to clutch your chest in pain. "Ow! Dude, what the fuck?" Sabito scoffs, much to your annoyance, "Don't let your guard down idiot,"

Wow, what a gentleman! He didn't even hesitate to hurt me. Fine, if that's how it's gonna be, two can play that game.

"Well, you shouldn't either!" You attempt to kick his right leg out from under him, but he shifts his weight to his left. He uses his sword to hit the back of your neck, making you stumble forward and faceplant into the ground. "Bruh."

Fastest defeat in the history of mankind... I would not last a second against Kibutsuji.

"[Y/N]! Are you alright?" Giving Tanjiro a thumbs-up in reassurance, you look back up at the peach-haired boy above you, "Never mind then, you're the best... Gosh, you really are amazing, Sabito!" Said boy offers you a hand and you eagerly take it.

"Look at us, already holding hands. Our relationship has reached a new level, next up is our wedding! And yes, that was a proposal."

Let's gooo, proposing to the homies! Who cares if he didn't understand!

As soon as you're on your feet, he quickly releases his hold on your hand and walks away. "Wha- Hey, where are you going?"

"Away from you, you're giving me a headache..."

Wow, I am offended!

"Don't say that! You know you love me!" He stops in his steps and looks back at you, although you can't see his expression, you assume he's giving you a look of annoyance or disappointment, maybe even both as he shakes his head. 

What you didn’t know was that instead of annoyance, was a smile beneath his mask.
