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.

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.

Thoughts: in italics

It's nice out today.

That was your first thought of the morning as you stepped outside to begin your training. Although you and your scarred friend had planned to stay inside for the day due to the rain, Urokodaki had requested you both go out and adjust to the environmental change. "You must learn to fight in different conditions whether they are natural or not. Training in the same good weather will not give you nearly enough experience for your fights with the demons."

I guess that makes sense... Besides the rain isn't that bad, I actually like the rain.

As the rain continued to pour down, you made your way toward your desired area for training. You wouldn't be joining Tanjiro for your usual routine in favor of finally trying to come up with your desired breath style.

Standing in front of the boulder you spend the next few minutes staring at it.

Yeah... I have nothing...

"Damn it, this is so stupid!" You stomp your foot against the ground straight into a puddle of muddy water, dirtying your light blue hakama.

Ah fuck, Urokodaki is gonna kill me now.

"Life is going great!" You let out an exasperated sigh, not caring as you didn't have an audience,

"You really are a mess." A familiar voice cuts through your spiteful thoughts as you spin around to face the boy. Droplets of rain dripped down his mask as he stood with his arms crossed over his chest watching your pitiful state. "Why, hello to you too Sabito." You sigh after greeting the boy.

Do I dare sit on the ground? My clothes are already dirty so I'll have to wash them anyway...

"What's wrong with you? Your face is disturbing me." 

"Wh- Don't you dare talk about my face when you haven't even shown yours!" His only response to your statement was a light knock of his fist to your head. 

"You never answered my question."

"Huh?"

"I asked what was wrong with you. You never answered." 

Staring down at your muddied feet in embarrassment, you avoid eye contact before answering, "I'm trying to come up with my own breath style."

He scoffs, "That's your problem?" He shakes his head as you absentmindedly play with the sleeve of your hakama as your temper begins to rise. "You try to come up with your own breath style! This shit ain't easy dude!"

"Then, if it's so hard for you on your own... I'll help you."

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Another six months passed until the final day Tanjiro would face Sabito. You would have continued your training if it weren't for the fact you desperately wanted to see Sabito's face.

That moment you're only letting yourself take a break cause you want to see some dude's face.

Tanjiro and Sabito stood across from one another, stern expressions never wavering as they stared one another down. Tanjiro's hair had grown out, cascading down to his shoulders. To the side of them were the figures of two girls, Makomo standing in place, and you at her side sitting patiently.

Not like I'll be here for long... This fight is pretty quick in the anime so I don't have to worry about time too much.

The sword at Sabito's side was no longer the familiar wooden one he had appeared with all those months ago, instead it was a real Nichirin blade that shined as he pulled it from its sheath.

"After a year, you finally began to have the appearance of a man," Sabito comments on your burgundy-haired friend as he stood across from him with his own sword drawn.

"I will win today."

"Go Tanjiro! I know you can do it!" Obviously, you would cheer for Tanjiro. Sure, as much as you liked Sabito, you were not going to not show your support for the boy you've known for longer.

It was a pretty straightforward thing. To put it simply, the stronger and faster of the two would win.

Not another second passed before they both lunged forward, fully prepared to inflict some damage on the other. It was a quick fight, and the victor decided in an instant. Tanjiro's blade struck Sabito before the masked male had time to react.

A look of shock swept across Tanjiro's face as you leaned forward, Sabito's own face being revealed from beneath his split-open mask.

Woah... He's so fucking pretty? Pretty boy Sabito! If Sabito looks like this how pretty is Inosuke?

Both Sabito and Makomo smiled at Tanjiro's achievement. Fog began to pool around the area as a sense of mourning, joy, and peace began to fill your body. 

"You must win Tanjiro..." Makomo spoke up, although you didn't react to her voice, "Against that person too."

That person? The hand demon or Kibutsuji?

Finally returning to your senses, you look around only to realize Sabito and Makomo were nowhere to be found.

"So... Uh..." The sound of your voice seemed to surprise Tanjiro as he jolted from his thoughts. "Ah, [Y/N]!" You push yourself from the ground only to jump onto Tanjiro's back, forcing him to drop his katana in order to hold you up, "That's a nice rock you got there bud. Can I have the other half?" 

"Other half?" He looks back at the boulder only to realize he had somehow managed to slice it in half. "O-oh! I didn't even realize I cut it!" You raise an eyebrow at that remark, "Bro, really? Then... Do you mind helping me cut mine in half? I wanna be there with you at the final selection!" 

His grip on you falters, almost accidentally allowing you to choke him if it were for the fact you slid off on your own accord, "C'mon! Help me with my boulder too!" You race off toward the direction of your training spot only to accidentally run into your father Urokodaki himself. "Oof!" Before you could fall, he grabs your shoulders to steady you, "Ah, I'm sorry... And thanks for catching me." Urokodaki simply responds by giving you a head pat.

"The reason I didn't want either of you to go to the final selection, was because I didn't want to see children die of this anymore."

Ah, story progression...

He begins to approach Tanjiro, "But I didn't count on you being able to slice that rock..." He places his right hand on top of Tanjiro's head, "You did well." 

Tears begin to well up in Tanjiro's eyes as Urokodaki continues, "Tanjiro, you are an... impressive kid..." Finally allowing his tears to fall, the two embrace each other in what you would describe as a slightly awkward, but loving hug. "You must come back... Alive from the final selection. This old man and your sister will be waiting for you right here."

Well, I didn't need my emotions anyways.

TTMGWRAADL Update 10/9/22

Omfg, I'm so excited to post more of my Demon Slayer fic, I low-key wanna be nice and just upload the next part in a bit instead of Saturday. 🫣

╯‧⁚⁛⁙ ┉ self-aware!ghostface and the player headcanons | part 1/?

-> 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.

Thoughts: in italics

"Wait, so, you're saying I can go to the final selection?"

"Yes."

"Even if I didn't slice that rock in half?"

"That is correct."

You stare at the older man dumbfounded. You found it oddly convenient how Urokodaki was willing to let you go to the final selection, especially after you failed to slice your own stupid boulder. "Are you sure? This isn't a prank or anything right?"

He nods his head, "If it weren't for the fact that Tanjiro had passed the final test, I would not have allowed you to go to Mount Fujikasane."

Right...

"I trust that the two of you will be able to protect one another and that you both will make it back home alive."

Nodding your head vigorously in agreement, you cast your gaze toward the only other person in the room. Tanjiro was currently focusing on cutting his hair in preparation for the final selection.

Goodbye long-hair Tanjiro

Shortly after, Urokodaki walks back into the room with two masks in hand. “I have prepared these masks for the two of you to wear. They are called the mask of disaster prevention, they should help keep the bad luck away from you both.”

Kinda surprised I got one too. Too bad I won’t have it for long. It’s pretty…

Taking the mask offered to you, you examine its design. Like Tanjiro’s, and you’re assuming Urokodaki’s many other students, it was a hand-carved fox mask with pastel-pink flowers decorating its forehead, cheeks, and ears. The part around the eyes and mouth was a pretty gold color, and its mouth was similar to Makomo’s smiling one.

Aw, this is such a cute mask.

Sending a thankful smile to Urokodaki, you place the mask over your face. It fit surprisingly well, not feeling constricting at all. “How do I look?” You ask your scarred companion. “It suits you well [Y/N],” Tanjiro responds with a smile. Urokodaki interrupts the shared moment between the two of you, two blue haori with a cloud pattern in hand.

So it’s finally time

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

The next morning came quickly, with Urokodaki waking both you and Tanjiro very early in the morning. The two of you rush to get dressed, putting on the haori that Urokodaki had given you the night before. 

After giving Nezuko a heartfelt goodbye, Tanjiro, Urokodaki, and you made your way outside of your shared home. Urokodaki was quick to reassure Tanjiro over his worry about leaving Nezuko for a week. The both of you share a determined nod before turning to leave. As you ran away from the cabin, you gave your goodbyes to the man who had been teaching you the past few years. “We’ll be going now, Urokodaki-sensei!” As you both continue running, the older man waves you off, “Say hello to Sabito and Makomo for us!” Urokodaki’s arm freezes mid-wave, “Tanjiro… [Y/N]... How do you… Know the names of those dead children?”

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

The sun had fully set by the time you and Tanjiro reached Mount Fujikasane. The two of you walked side by side, as you walked the path decorated with Wisteria trees. “Oh wow, Tanjiro! It looks so pretty! It’s almost like they’re glowing!” You exclaim your admiration for the beauty of the mountain. “Wisteria isn’t normally supposed to bloom this season,” he responds to you as he gently reaches toward the flowers.

Finally reaching your destination, the two of you are met with a massive group of people scattered around the meeting place. You quickly spotted Zenitsu and Kanao, the two sporting bright haori's as they stood separated from the other background characters people. It also wasn’t too hard to find Genya, his distinct mohawk helping him stand out from the rest.

“Greetings everyone,” the synced voices of the twins Oyakata-sama’s son and daughter called out to the group, catching everyone's attention. The black-haired child speaks first,  “Thank you all for joining the final selection tonight. There are a lot of demons held captive on this mountain brought back by demon-killing swordsmen. They are unable to leave.” His younger, white-haired sister quickly picks up where her brother left off, “Because from the mountain foot to halfway up, there are a lot of demon-repelling wisteria that bloom all year round.” They now speak together, “However, from here on out, there are no more wisteria. Only demons. If you can survive here for seven days, then you pass the final selection.” After a brief pause, they finish off with a sentence that spiked your anxiety, “Now let the final selection begin."

With your heart racing, you give a quick glance at Tanjiro as he takes your hand and rushes into the mountain. 

“Hey, hey, you go over there. I eat these two!” “Hell no, get out of here!” Two voices alert you to the incoming danger, two demons jumping into your view.

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! Demons! There are actual demons right in front of me!

As the two demons continue to argue over who got to kill you and Tanjiro, Tanjiro takes a stance, prepared to defend you both. “That’s my prey!” “Shut it!” They then turn to attack you both, “We’ll just decide it by whoever gets to them first!” 

The two demons rush to attack you both, fear overtaking your body as the reality of the situation sinks in. 

I’m going to die here.

“Haven’t tasted human flesh in such a long time!” You're frozen in fear. No matter how hard you try to move your body to defend yourself. Tanjiro gives you a glance of concern before taking a deep breath and quickly slashes the heads of both demons off. “[Y/N], are you alright?”

“I-” Your voice shakes as you struggle to swallow the lump in your throat, “I’m okay…” Tanjiro shuffles closer to you and puts a comforting hand on your shoulder. “It’s okay. You don’t have to force yourself to do anything. I’ll keep you safe.” A sense of shame floods your body,

I’m so stupid. I can’t believe I just stood there while Tanjiro did all the work. What if I get in his way and get us both killed? All of our training would have been for nothing if we die here…

“No, next time, I won’t let you do all the work. Next time, I’ll be the one protecting you, okay?”

His look of concern shifts into one of kindness, “I’ll be counting on you then [Y/N].” Tanjiro's expression shifts back into one of sorrow as he faces the bodies of the demons he decapitated. As you observe him, you can see he's holding back tears, thinking to himself. He gives them a final prayer as their bodies quickly disintegrate into nothingness, their unfortunate souls being sent to hell.

"Tanjiro," You call out to him softly. "I'm alright, I just-" Tanjiro interrupts himself, covering his nose with his hands, a disgusted expression settling over him. It only takes the scream of a quickly approaching wannabe slayer for the smell to hit you.

keith kogane is a loverboy

once keith falls, he falls hard. he’s the kind of boyfriend who will stand by his girl no matter what, ready to fight anyone who so much as looks at you wrong.

he’s not big on pda, but if you pay attention, he’s always near you. standing just a little too close, his pinky brushing against yours or hovering protectively when you're in a crowd.

before you got together, it was obvious that keith liked you. the way he’d glance at you when he thought no one was looking, how he’d get all defensive if someone teased him about you—it was painfully clear.

did you just compliment him? he’s red. you held his hand? he’s red. kissed his cheek? he’s malfunctioning. he can fight in intergalactic wars, but affection from his girlfriend? terrifying.

he's soft for you and ONLY you. keith has a reputation for being intense and broody, but the moment he’s with you, he’s a different person. he listens attentively, remembers little details, and has a softness in his eyes that no one but you gets to see.

he doesn’t hover, but he’s always aware of your surroundings. if you're walking together, he’ll unconsciously place himself between you and the street (sidewalk rule!) if you're sitting, his arm is draped casually behind your chair.

he’s not great at romantic speeches, but when he tells you he loves you, it’s with absolute sincerity. no hesitation, no doubt—just raw, honest emotion.

when he wants attention, he’ll just sit there, arms crossed, totally silent—waiting for you to notice him. if you asks what’s wrong, he just mumbles, “nothing,” while internally hoping you'll keep asking.

he gets jealous easily. if you compliment someone else’s piloting? guess who’s suddenly showing off in the simulator. if you're impressed by someone’s strength? he’s definitely upping his training routine.

he would fight for you. not just metaphorically. if someone disrespects you? keith is already rolling up his sleeves. “it’s fine, babe, i’m just gonna talk to them,” he says, while lance is holding him back.
