Sages, Sins, and Stories

Hawks sighs, sliding his jacket on and turning off the light in his office before heading out the door. It had been a long day of paperwork and sitting in the office all day without the opportunity to stretch his wings even once. After apprehending a villain his team had been working on catching for some time now, there always came a boat load of paperwork that Hawks tried to avoid, but his manager always found a way to force him into doing it. This time it had been threatening to put him on that salad diet again, the one his manager put him on when he thought the bird was eating a little too much fast food for comfort and he had an ad coming up.

So to avoid becoming a rabbit for the week, he sat down for the day to do the paperwork that needed to get done. Hawks was just glad to be finished, finally leaving his stuffy office and going home to his comfy apartment. Though he did wish someone in particular would be home to greet him. But last time he checked, Dabi was still busy on some business a few cities over. So with a frown and fleeting thought to call the flame user later, he left his hero agency after saying his goodbyes to his team and taking off into the air in a rush of red, making his way home.

It was nice to finally get a chance to feel the air between his feathers after being inside all day, but as he landed on his balcony and slid the unlocked glass door open, he was more grateful just to be home. What he wasn’t expecting though was the scene in front of him as he stepped through the door. A shirtless Dabi lounging on the couch, scars in full view as he flipped through a manga the bird knew he was currently reading. Who would have thought? The ex-villain was a huge fan of manga, courtesy of Natsu getting him hooked when they were younger. And now that Dabi lived a pretty free life as an adult, he had more time to occupy himself with the latest volume of the shonen manga he liked so much and Hawks tended to pick up for him.

“Oh? I didn’t expect to see you home so soon.” Hawks comments as he steps further in, shedding off his jacket and shoes. Having a couple of his feathers put his uniform away, he walks to the back of the couch and leans over so he can peer at what Dabi’s reading. “Have they killed that train demon yet?”

“Nah, seems like they’re gonna drag this shit out. But they did bring in a new guy, seems like a hot shot. Not sure who's gonna win now.” Dabi replies, flipping the book closed and setting it on the table. “Thought I’d come home early and surprise you. How are things on your end?” He sits up so he can level Hawks with his ever intense gaze, running his eyes over his form to make sure he wasn’t injured anywhere.

“Good, we caught the guy and I’m just glad that's finally over and done with. Been in the office all day just finishing up the paperwork. But now my wings are all stiff and my hands feel like they're gonna fall off.” Hawks whines a little at the end, walking around to fall on the couch dramatically next to Dabi. 

“Huh, got no energy for me then? I even brought you back a gift, guess it can wait till tomorrow…” Dabi says dismissively, standing up and stretching his arms over his head and giving the bird a good view of the scars on his back.

“A gift?! What kind of gift?!” The bird immediately perks up as he eyes the man’s back appreciatively, his wings fluttering excitedly behind him.

“Oh now you're suddenly fine? I guess you can have it then. Left it on your bed for you, go take a look…” Dabi replies, throwing a smirk over his shoulder at the hero before he goes to the kitchen to grab himself a drink.

Hawks stands up, rushing off to his room excitedly to see what the man had brought him. It was rare he ever came home to Hawks with something other than injuries, let alone a gift. He would be damned if he was too tired to check it out. So when he arrives in his bedroom and turns the light on, he's very confused to see that there's only a pair of pants on the bed.

“Dabi? You sure you left it here? These just look like your clothes you left out…” He called out, saying it loud enough for Dabi to hear.

“Just try them on, bought them specially for you..” The ex-villain replies before opening the fridge only to be disappointed to see the bird forgot to get himself food again, and walks to the sink to get himself a glass of water.

Hawks cautiously picks it up, as if afraid it would explode in his hands, before shedding the rest of his uniform and trying the pants on like Dabi had suggested. Now clad in only a pair of leather pants, similar to the ones Dabi himself always wore, he slowly made his way back out to the living room.

“Dabi, I know you like these pants a lot, but they really aren't my style…” Hawks says as he looks down at himself.

For the record, Dabi had intended this as more of a joke gift, since Hawks was always telling him that he had no clue how he did anything in those pants of his. How leather was uncomfortable, expensive and just made him look like an emo teenager. So Dabi wanted to see him in a pair of his own, and admit to the fire user how comfortable and fashionable those pants could be. He fully knew as well that the bird would look great in them. But he wasn’t expecting him to look THAT sinfully good.

As Hawks cautiously came out of the room, looking slightly unsure and out of his element, Dabi couldn’t keep his eyes off of him. He looked over as he was taking a sip of water, to see the man clad in the leather pants only, pale chest and hard muscles in view, with his bright red wings folded behind him; Dabi suddenly felt way more parched then the water could satisfy him with. His eyes narrowed and he slowly set the glass down on the counter, his eyes never leaving Hawks form, and slowly walked up to the bird like a cat approaching its prey.

“I don’t know, pretty bird, I think those suit you well…” Dabi says in a low voice, as he makes his way to stand in front of Hawks.

The hero looks up then to meet Dabi’s heated gaze and suddenly it clicks, a smirk appearing on his lips as well before standing up tall. “Do I look good in them then?” He asks in a confident tone, wrapping his arms around Dabi’s neck.

“More than good, pretty bird… I don’t think I’ll be able to keep my hands off of you…” Dabi replies, placing his own hands on the man's hips, a dangerous smirk on his lips.

“I’m not stopping you..” He says, stepping in closer to Dabi. The man just lets out a low chuckle before pressing his lips to Hawk’s harshly. The bird more than happily returns the kiss, the exchange becoming heated quickly. Dabi’s hands guide them backwards, following the known path to the bedroom and kicking the door closed behind him. His fingers dig into Hawk’s hips, pulling him closer to the flame user and deepening the kiss.

Hawks gives a happy hum, pulling away after a few more seconds to catch his breath. “If I knew you’d react like this, I would have bought myself a pair of these pants a long time ago.” He says, a little breathless as he looks up into Dabi’s intense gaze.

“Well pretty bird, that's just the beginning. I don’t plan on letting you out of those anytime soon..” Dabi says, hooking his fingers into the belt loops of the leather pants and turning Hawks around to face the floor length mirror he had by the closet in his room. With his wings and bare back pressed against Dabi’s own bare chest, Hawks can see the both of them in full view in the mirror.

The bird pouts, his gaze directed at Dabi’s in the reflection. “Well that’s no good, can’t do anything fun if you keep my pants on.” 

“Who said there wouldn’t be any fun? Trust me, I have plenty of way of showing you just how fucking good you look in those while still keeping them on you…” Dabi says lowly in Hawks ear, his head dropping to his shoulder, placing slow kisses from his shoulder and up his neck. The bird was fighting to keep his eyes open, wanting to close them and lose himself in the feeling of Dabi’s affections, but there was something mesmerizing about watching the man's actions and his own expressions in the mirror. It turned him on even more.

And the bird could tell Dabi felt the same, as the hands on his hips pulled him closer against Dabi, he could feel just how much the man behind him was enjoying this.

Dabi continued, kissing up his neck to his jaw before licking the shell of his ear, Hawks feeling as well as seeing in the reflection the shiny glint of Dabi’s tongue piercing against his skin. He hummed appreciatively, but was starting to feel a little uncomfortable as his pants started tightening below his hips, not getting the attention he craved in the area he wanted it most.

About to turn and say as much, he didn’t get the chance as he gave a low groan when Dabi moved one of his hands up to fist into the blond locks, pulling his head back with a harsh tug so that more of Hawks neck was exposed to the man. Biting and sucking marks into his skin, Hawks closed his eyes and was too distracted to notice Dabi’s other hand moving towards the button and zipper on the pants, opening them up to offer more room for Dabi’s hand to roam inside of. Cupping the now hard bulge over the thin layer of his boxers, Hawks can’t help but buck his hips into Dabi’s hot palm, needing to feel more of the man touching him.

“Ah ah, be patient little bird. Good things come to those who wait.”Dabi says, to which Hawks gives a frustrated groan and the fire user chuckles in return, giving the bird a harsh bite on his neck instead. 

Hawks whimpers in response but otherwise remains still as Dabi continues his work unraveling the man. He liked to get the bird to beg but with how good he looked in those pants, Dabi wasn’t sure he’d last that long himself.

With Hawks now at his mercy though, Dabi was free to do as he pleased, and that he did. Moving his hand inside his boxers this time and warming up his palm, he gave his cock a few slow strokes, testing out the waters to see his reaction. The man groans, a shudder going down his spine as his body trembled in restraint to keep still for Dabi. The flame user smirks in turn, setting a slow pace with his hand as he continues his previous actions on Hawks neck.

Hawks fights to open his eyes again and look in the mirror, the sight alone making him moan Dabi’s name. He looked like a mess in the man’s arms, his chest flushed, his neck covered in bite marks and bruises, Dabi’s hand around his cock stroking him as precum leaked out and his hair a lost cause of blonde tangled locks. Dabi smirks at him in the reflection of the mirror the bird has to pride himself for not cumming there and then at Dabis red lips and half lidded gaze he was giving the bird.

He wanted more though, Dabi going too slow for his liking, knowing the man was teasing him and not giving him what he really wanted on purpose. “Dabi… I need more… I can’t…” He pants out at the man. If he wasn’t so distracted by Dabi’s actions, he might have been embarrassed at how pathetic he sounded.

“Hm? Can’t understand you, gotta use your words and tell me exactly what you want..” Dabi replies teasingly, speeding his hand up slightly, the precum helping his hand to slide better along his shaft.

“Touya...please.. Ah! I need… I need to feel more of you… Please..” Hawks begs, his eyes narrowing as he gazes at Dabi's hand in the mirror, watching the man's thumb run over the tip of his cock.

“See? You just have to ask nicely, pretty bird, and I’ll give you whatever ya want…” Dabi stops his actions completely then, only for Hawks to groan impatiently as he moves his hand away. About to ask what he's doing, his words get caught in his throat as Dabi drops to his knees in front of the bird, replacing where his hand just was with his mouth instead.

Hawks catches himself, his legs almost giving out at the feeling of Dabi’s hot and wet mouth wrapped around his cock. He places a hand on Dabi’s shoulder to keep him steady, the man below him doing the same by moving a hand to the bird's hip to keep him from moving.

Hawks once again fights the urge to close his eyes, moaning loudly at watching Dabi in the reflection of the mirror, sucking on him in a way that Hawks felt should be illegal. His tongue wrapping around him in just the right way, the ball of his piercing running along the underside of his shaft, it was almost impossible for the bird to keep his hips from bucking forward to feel more of Dabi’s mouth around him.

But he kept himself at bay, distracted by their reflection in the mirror and the obscene noises Dabi’s mouth was making as he pleasured Hawks. The bird moved his other hand to sift through and grip Dabi’s hair, needing something else to hold onto while his body practically vibrated from how good Dabi made him feel. 

Another shudder ran through him as Dabi’s mouth kept up the delicious actions, his wings starting to stiffen as he felt his climax approaching quickly. Below him, Dabi could tell the signs of the bird reaching his limit, familiar with his mannerisms all too well by now, and pulled off of him with a pop. Hawks groaned loudly, feeling frustrated with how close he was to cumming, looking down at Dabi as the man caught his gaze and chuckled.

“Mmm, didn’t want you to finish so quickly, not without letting me finish with you~” Dabi says, a devious smirk on his lips as he stood back up. Another shudder ran down Hawks spine at the implications of his words, excited to feel all of Dabi. The man just lifts a hand to the bird's chin and brings his lips forward and onto his red and swollen ones for a kiss. Hawks moans into the kiss, tasting himself on Dabi’s lips and wrapping his arms around his waist, trying to mold himself closer to the man.

He feels Dabi do the same, bringing him in closer for a heated kiss before pulling away and moving his hand down to unbuckle his own pants and belt. Then, taking one of the bird's hands into his own, he guides it down to his own hard bulge. Hawks groans at feeling how ready the man is for him, and sends one of his feathers to his nightstand drawer to grab his bottle of lube for them to use. 

The feather retrieves the bottle, before depositing it into the flame user's hand, causing the man to smirk before moving behind Hawks. And once again, they're in the position they started in with Dabi behind Hawks, and the both of them facing his mirror.

Dabi smirks at their reflection, watching Hawks actions with half lidded eyes and an intense gaze. Pulling his boxers aside, Dabi takes his cock into his own hand, adding a generous amount of lube into the other before slathering it on himself. Hissing at finally giving his throbbing cock attention, he keeps his gaze glued to Hawks, watching the man watch him with parted lips and a furrow in his brow. 

Finally, Dabi moves to pull Hawks pants down slightly, though still not all the way off only to keep his promise, but enough to give the bird what he really wanted. 

“Ready for me, pretty bird?” Dabi asks, his voice low as he looks at him in the mirror.

“Always hot stuff..” Hawks replies, almost breathless as he watches their reflection, only to see his eyes widen as Dabi finally pushes forward into him. He moans out Touya’s name before leaning forward and placing a hand on the wall next to the mirror to steady himself.

Dabi’s hands move to Hawks hips before he pushes into him completely. He sees the bird panting in front of him and gives him a moment to adjust before setting a brutal pace. 

They’ve done this dance enough before to know each other's patterns and movements, Hawks complementing Dabi beautifully as his hips move in time with Dabi’s thrusts. Even with the brutal pace though, Hawks can always feel every one of the piercings that line Dabi’s cock, all in a row to help enhance both of their experience. Feeling incredible pleasure as all of the little silver balls scrape against Hawks inner walls in the best ways. 

It's not long before Dabi catches up to Hawks, feeling his cock leaking into the other man as he continues to thrust into him, groaning now and then at how good and tight Keigo felt around him.

“That's it, you take me so well Keigo. Wrap around me so tightly, don’t think I’ll… ugh! … Last much longer…” With how much built up Hawks, and how good he looked while he was unraveling his bird, he’s surprised he’s lasted this long.

“Ah… Touya… I can’t hold on much longer… I.. ah!” Dabi shocks him by wrapping a hand around his cock again, stroking him in time with his thrusts to help bring the man over the edge. Dabi’s gaze on the both of them in the mirror, watching them both start to break.

It takes no time at all before Hawks is practically shouting Touyas name, cumming into Dabi’s hand as he’s brought to his climax. Dabi groans as he soon follows, thrusting deep into Hawks as he is brought hard over the edge. 

They come back to it, panting hard and with Hawks barely able to keep on his feet any longer. If it wasn’t for Dabi wrapping an arm around his waist to keep him up, he would have crumbled to his knees by now.

Dabi finally tears his gaze away from their reflection, resting his head on Hawks shoulder to catch his breath. 

“That was…” Hawks was at a loss for words.

“Fucking amazing. Didn’t I tell you?” Dabi says breathlessly, lifting his head to look at Hawks.

“Tell me what?” “That leather pants are a good choice in clothes.” Dabi says with a smug look, before pulling away. He grabs Hawks wrist to lead him to his bed, both slowly shedding the rest of their clothes and Dabi cleaning up his hands before lying down in bed.

“Just this once, I’ll let you be right.” Hawks says as he moves closer to Dabi, as his feathers move the blanket over them. “That's also because I have no energy to argue with you. But I could have told you, I look damn good in everything. Leather pants were no exception.”

“Whatever you say, little bird, I’ll take this as a victory.” Dabi says, closing his eyes as he takes Hawks into his arms. They both knew it wasn’t that late, but after their night, they weren't in a hurry to do anything other than go to sleep.

“Oh and Hawks?”

“Hm?”

“Make sure you keep those pants..”

"Hmm, Y/N?" Kyojuro spoke up after a minute, the both of you just thinking in a comfortable silence about your time together.

"Yes?" You didn't get an answer before he was kissing you again, pushing you back against the wall in the corner you were both situated in. He was gentle as always, but this kiss came with a force you weren't used to, not that you would complain. You kissed him back with just as much vigor as your hand moved to rest on the back of his neck to hold him close. In that kiss he showed you all the love he had to give. Even though it showed rarely, Kyojuro was a passionate guy and gave everything a hundred and ten percent.

Once you both pulled away for air, you could see a fire in his eyes that made you blush but also made you curious. "What was that all about?" You asked a little breathless. You weren't used to such fierce kisses, out somewhere other then your home no less.

"I was talking to my father the other day, and he was really persistent with what he brought up." He looked at you with a clear gaze, Rengoku never got flustered, and that was something that made you squirm.

"O-oh? Is that so? What about?" You were confused that he brought that up all the sudden but he was a spontaneous man so you couldn't be that surprised. Though you were disappointed he pulled away and stopped kissing you.

"Yeah, he kept asking when we were going to give him grandchildren. I told him we just haven't found the time to really start our family yet but since we're stuck here in the rain for a while." He gave you an unexpected smirk as you watched him wearily. "I was thinking now might be as good a time as any."

"Wha-" You were cut off by his lips again, kissing you but once again in a gentle fashion.

In a way that showed he was giving you the choice to pull away if you so desired, thinking it was too much. But you never really shied away from Kyojuro's affections, especially with how rare they were. So you grabbed onto his kimono and pulled him closer.

This was unexpected for the both of you. But you weren't new to his ministrations, having been with the fire pillar for so long, you both had fooled around on multiple occasions. Especially considering he never knew when his last battle would be, or if he'd ever come back. He had to show he loved you in every way he could.

You kissed him with as much passion as he gave you, because if you were honest, the both of you were pretty feisty in the heat of the moment. But that’s what he loved about you.

Pulling away for air, you looked in his eyes and regarded him. You knew he was serious, he rarely joked around when it came to things like this. "I thought you'd never ask." Giving him a smile, you pulled him close again before he started trailing kisses down your neck.

Head leaned back and eyes closed, you moved your hand up to his still damp locks and gripped his hair, guiding him down to the edge of your kimono. Kyojuro looked up at you with that smile of his that you couldn't resist, and you gave him a little nod in permission to go further.

You felt like kids again, sneaking into an abandoned place to mess around because you were afraid you'd be caught at home. But now you were adults, in full control of your moves and decisions.

The blonde tugged at the sash holding the fabrics you wore together, pulling it off you and letting the kimono and silk robes fall open. He smiled and ran his hand down your smooth skin, your body shuddering in response to his touch. Kyojuro leaned down and kissed a path from your collar bone to the valley between your breasts, biting and licking as he went. He was slow and it was agonizing, but he always took his time. And his favorite thing was to tease you.

"Kyojuroooo…" You whined at him, wiggling your body underneath his hold. He just smiled in response and looked up into your gaze.

"Be patient Y/N, patience brings good fortune.." He says before looking down at his handy work,

Seeing the marks he left on your skin got him even more excited.

Finally leaning down, he took one of your breasts into his hand while his mouth went to the other. You moaned quietly as his tongue swirled around your nipple, his hand teasing the other.

Your ex-flame pillar was really starting to work you up, as you felt the heat pool between your legs. You tried bucking your hips, looking for more friction, but his other hand had moved to rest on the bone and was holding you in place. He smirked against your breast, glad he still could cause this kind of response so quickly.

He kept up his work, teasing  your nipples until he had you whining for more. The blonde sat up a bit, as you finally opened your eyes. His heated gaze met your half lidded one, your breath already ragged from his ministrations.

He smirked before pulling his own kimono open, revealing hard muscles and an erection that showed you you had managed to work the man up as well. You groaned at the site, more than ready for him to be inside you.

Once your breathing had calmed down, you sat up and pulled the smirking man into a heated kiss, showing him the passion he loved to see from you. Knowing he was ready for you made you all the more turned on by your Rangoku.

His hands moved back to your skin lingering on your waist before traveling down the smooth expanse, both your kimonos still resting on your shoulders. After all, there was a chance someone could come along and catch you both. You didn't want to be entirely undressed if that was the case.

Rangoku pushed the fabric on your hips down, sliding your underwear off while his tongue prodded your lips to gain entry to your mouth. You allowed him and you soon were both caught up in a desperate open mouth kiss.

One of your hands traveled back up to his hair and pulled him closer while the other moved down his chest to feel his erection. He groaned at the light touch, pushing his hips forward into your grip.

You gave him a few pumps, feeling the precum drip onto your hand. Smirking as you pulled away from his lips again, he looked at you like a starved man about to eat his first meal in weeks.

He sat back and pulled away from your grip, just admiring you still kneeling in front of him. His eyes traveled down your body, as a blush came to your cheeks at his intense gaze on you.

"Don't look at me like that…" You said quietly, suddenly feeling flustered at all his attention. Kyojuro didn't notice though and smiled.

"You know I can't help it… You just look so beautiful Y/N, so perfect. And so ready for me.."

The flame pillar moved forward to trail kisses down your chest to your stomach, his hands on your hips to keep you steady. You loved his gentle touches, but he was teasing you again and you wanted more. You placed one of your hands on his and moved it down to where you really wanted it.

His smirk was back as he took the lead and led his hand in between your thighs, running his finger along your already wet core. "Oh… you feel so good, all for me Y/N.." He said in a low tone, almost a husky whisper.

You whimpered at his words, still wanting more of his touch, of him.

He moved his fingers along your slit, letting his thumb circle your clit gently, stroking the bundle of nerves that had you giving him an immediate response. Before pushing one of his fingers inside of you, quickly adding a second when he knew you were more than ready.

You bit the corner of your lip, watching him in anticipation. He looks up at you with those eyes he'd only give you before moving his fingers slowly. You moaned his name, leaning forward and placing a hand on his shoulder to steady yourself.

He watched you, his eyes never leaving your flustered expressions or the little pleased noises you made.

"That’s it beautiful, you feel so amazing… " He said in the same tone, moving his fingers slightly faster and giving your clit the attention you craved, letting you feel every stroke he gave you.

"Kyo.. Please.. Please I need you.." You said breathlessly, he knew how to make you feel good but right now you just wanted to be as close to him as possible. To let that building climax be given by him being inside you.

Your eyes opened as he pulled his fingers from you, smiling at your lost look even though you knew what would come next.

"As you wish baby girl, I'll always give you what you ask for." He said before pulling you closer to him. He leaned against the wall, letting you move to straddle his hips and position yourself above him.

"You ready for me?" Kyojuro asked you one last time, to which you nodded and he helped guide himself into you, letting you slowly move down until you were fully seated in his lap.

You both groaned at the feeling of being full, full of the man you loved. He waited a moment for you to adjust before placing his hands on your hips and lifting you up, just to move you back down once he was almost all the way out of you. You sighed in pleasure, your hands moving around his shoulders, holding yourself steady as you continued at a slow pace, getting you used to the feeling of him in you.

He moaned your name, his eyes closing at how tight you felt around him. He quickened his pace then, thrusting into you with conviction. His chest pushed against yours and both your breaths became labored as he made love to you with all the passion he had.

"Ugh.. You're doing so great Y/N… you feel so good, I can't get enough of you..." He grunts out, in between thrusts. Though he wanted more, he wanted to feel all of you. He lifted you up and off him, you gasped at the loss of the feeling. But you weren't separated long as he laid you down on your kimono and resumed his previous position, in between your legs. He pushed back into you without warning and gave way to a relentless pace.

"Kyo!" You yelled out, but were quickly consumed by pleasure. He brought his lips back down to yours in a heated kiss, missing the close contact. He thrusted inside you, savoring the sounds you made and praising you as he continued his pace.

"You look so good with me inside you, making those faces… you want more baby girl?" He asked.

You could barely speak other than the sounds of pleasure you made, so you nodded and he moved his hand down to settle between your thighs, rubbing small circles around your clit to help you chase your orgasm. He knew you were close to your expressions and he found himself following right with you.

At the new stimulation, you wrapped your legs around his waist and bit your lip to prevent from being too loud in the abandoned home.

"That’s it beautiful.. Cum for me, show me how I make you feel.." Rengoku said as he sped up his pace once again, rubbing the bundle of nerves to help bring you over the edge. And with his words and actions, it did.

You soon felt yourself approaching your limit, before yelling his names as you were pushed over. Your walls clenching around him as you came, the flame pillar following closely behind with a moan and cumming inside you. He slowed down his pace as he helped you ride out your orgasm, your body shuddering at the pleasure that shot through you.

When you both relaxed, he stayed put, hovering over you with your legs wrapped around him. It was quiet, as you both caught your breaths for a few moments before he pulled out of you and opened his eyes to look at you.

A smile on his lips, he moved one hand to stroke your cheek, just taking you in in the after bliss.

"You never cease to amaze me Y/N." He said quietly, before sitting up and pulling you into his lap.

You smile at him and rest your head on his shoulder, giving a content sigh as you take in each other's presence.

"Well you bring out the best in me Kyo." You say before placing a gentle kiss to his lips. You pull away and look around, laughing as you see the sun outside. "Well I guess we found a good way to wait out the rain, it seems like it's safe to go outside again." You said, shaking your head with a slight blush.

"Or… we can go for round 2? You know they say you have to try multiple times in order to conceive a child." He said with a smirk.

It had started out sunny, with Kyojuro practicing his sword form in the garden, his little brother sitting on the deck watching calmly.  After the demon slayers had disbanded and the fire pillar barely escaped the battle facing Akaza with his life, he thought it was time to settle down, maybe start a Kendo school to pass on what he knew from his family's sword form line, and continue his days as a well respected Sensei. After all, Rengoku was known for being a wonderful teacher by more than just Tanjiro.

Senjuro decided to help; After all the years he couldn't spend with his brother, he thought helping open and work in the school his only sibling had started was the best way. So there he sat in the afternoon sun, watching the last fire pillar practice his basic form to teach the students the next morning, he barely registered as you walked up from the house behind him with a tray in hand. Sitting down next to him, you startled Senjuro out of his thoughts as he looks over to you.

"Oh, Y/N, I thought you were out visiting your brother today." The young boy says to you before taking the cup of tea you handed to him and taking a sip.

You shook your head, a light smile on your face. "Not yet, I wanted Kyojuro to come with me. Try and convince my brother to let his son join our school. He's being stubborn with only my persuasion. I think with your brother's help, he'd be able to convince anyone with that smile of his." Chuckling, you looked over at the man you spoke about, a fond smile on your face.

You and Kyojuro have been together since before he even became a pillar.

You'd known the man since you were children, having started as friends before he decided you were more than that for him. When he trained hard and watched his family break apart, you were always by his side, making sure he always had the encouragement he needed to keep going. When he was made to become a pillar, you were worried but knew he was incredibly strong and kind, he'd be able to lead the demon slayers and be a strong part of their team.

There was no doubts in your heart or mind, until a raven was sent to you onthat painful day. Alerting you to the battle you knew would be coming up, you were mortified to find out your Rengoku was caught up in a battle with one of the upper moon demons and almost didn't make it out alive. Almost. You had rushed to the butterfly estate, after you had heard and helped nurse him back to health. At that point you had begged him not to go back, not to fight anymore demons. But he told you he couldn't and you'd have to understand.

And you did. But it hurt. You watched as he fought some of the hardest battles of his life and you encouraged him through it all, just like you always had. When everything was over and the dust settled, he agreed to settle down with you, start a school and maybe, one day, start a family with you.

That’s where you were now, helping both the Rengoku boys grow their kendo school and continue to be by Kyojuro's side no matter what. After all, even after there were no more demons, it was hard for the man to stay still.

Taking a sip of your tea, you watched him as he finished his form, placed his wooden sword to the side and wiped the sweat off his brow. Smiling, he looked over to you and Senjuro, walking over once he noticed the tea and snacks you brought.

Before he could even say a word, you handed him a rice ball, knowing the man had worked up an appetite from his training. Even after everything, he still planned to train every morning. And lucky for you all it was an off day at the school so you could spend some time together. Although you still had plans in mind.

He grins, taking the rice ball from you, taking a huge bite before giving a sigh of relief. "Few, I thought I was gonna starve to death there. Thanks Y/N!"

You glared at him then, shaking your head. "Then maybe stop to take a break once in a while. I swear it's like you don't remember the basic human needs when you start training." Though he knew you weren't really mad at him, so he just laughed it off and took another bite.

"I thought you would have left by now Y/N. Didn't you say you planned to go visit your brother?" Like minds think alike, you chuckled at the older man's words before nodding.

"Senjuro said the same thing. Yes, I still plan on going, but I was hoping you'd come with me. You know his son just turned eight and has a problem with his temper. I tried to convince onii-chan to let him train under you, help give him an outlet for all that energy the kid has. But he's stubborn and still refuses. I figured some talking to by a previous pillar might convince him." You grin at him at your last words, knowing he couldn't resist the opportunity.

"Sure, but if he's as stubborn as you, I might have some trouble convincing him." Kyojuro says with a chuckle, but agrees none-the-less. He loved the opportunity to help kids and he knew all too well starting them off early was a good idea. Prevent any more violent kids like Shinazugawa. And he knew you meant well. "When should we leave?"

"Whenever you're ready. I was waiting for you to be done with your training to ask. I figured we could finish the snack I made us before you go. Otherwise I know you'll just complain you're hungry the whole time."

Senjuro chuckled at that, knowing that for his brother that’s exactly what he'd do.

So for a while, you all just enjoyed each other’s company. Filling the silence with fond conversation and wholesome laughs that only a worry free family could feel. You were grateful for what you had, and being a part of their family was always something you cherished. You were glad the fight was over and all of you could spend the rest of your days in relative peace together.

 After the food and tea, Kyojuro helped you clean up and pack a light bag for the journey to your brothers. It wasn't far, as he lived in the next town over, but to walk there and back would take the rest of your day. Good thing it was a nice day out, you thought to yourself.

Biding Senjuro goodbye, promising to come back home soon and to watch the house, you and Kyojuro set off on your way to your older brother's house. It was nice to have the day together, enjoy a walk with little worries and be able to enjoy each other's company. Even with there being no demon slayer corps, the school kept you and Rengoku busy, as he taught a fair amount of kids and you helped him in any way you could. Even helping teach the kids yourself from time to time, as you learned a lot from the fire pillar with all the years you spent together. Though you never wanted to become a demon slayer, instead you opted to stay home and take care of his brother and your sick mother.

As you two were walking along, you remembered. "How is your father? We haven't gone to see him recently."

"He's doing good, same as usual, but he's making progress. I think Tanjiro really did a number on him, changed his whole perspective. I'm grateful." He replied with a wide smile.

You were grateful too, in more ways than one to Tanjiro. For helping keep Kyojuro alive and bringing him home to you, and for helping his family in more ways than you could. You missed the little guy and his sister. "We should invite them over soon, Tanjiro and Nezuko. I'd love for them to see the school we've managed to start together."

"Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. See how he's doing.." He trailed off, but with a smile on his face, letting you know he was caught up in a fond memory.

As you two continued to walk along the road, he grabbed your hand, giving it a light squeeze while you continued ahead. You knew him to be a quiet man. He didn't necessarily talk unless he had something to say and with you, he knew that you understood him even without words.

It made him think of how lucky he was to have you by his side through everything. From childhood to now, no matter what he went through, you were there and he was grateful. He knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you and after his fight with Akaza, he knew you knew that too. It was hard for him to express his feelings but with everyday you got to spend time with him, he wouldn't have it any other way. It made him chuckle though, remembering how his father kept pestering him for grandchildren.

Kyojuro was about to bring that topic up, when he was hit with water. His brow furrowed, not thinking at first it could be rain. Since when they left, the sun was blazing high in the sky without a sign of being shadowed by clouds. But as he looked up, he was proven wrong as the gray clouds surrounded the both of you and  started a light drizzle. He hadn't realized he was so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't even noticed the sky darkening.

The sad thing was neither of you prepared for the rain before leaving your home, as you both expected a sunny day.

Sighing, he looked around the area. From what he could tell, the rain didn't look like it would last long. But as a man that worked with fire, water wasn't his favorite thing. And he knew you shared the sentiment about being caught in the rain unprepared. Noticing an abandoned home up the road, he motioned to it and you both continued at a brisk pace to get to the dry shelter.

Normally, you two wouldn't act like a couple of kids sneaking into a house to get away from the rain, but you had gifts for your family in your bag that couldn't exactly get wet. So you followed Kyojuro to the house and went inside. It was old and breaking down, clearly abandoned for a while. So you both said your thanks and apologized for the intrusion before stepping inside and out of the rain.

Setting your bag down and shaking the droplets of water off your sleeve, you turned to look out the window, grateful you only got a little wet and didn't get caught in the downpour that just started. Sighing to yourself, you sat in a corner away from the windows and looked out at the house. Lucky you had found this place, otherwise your trip would have turned sour. Looking out to Kyojuro, you chucked to see a little frown on his face at his wet hair falling into his eyes.

"Come here silly." You chuckled as he walked over to you, sitting down in front of you to let you fuss with his now wet hair, pushing the wet locks out of his face so he could see.

Smiling, you looked into his deep red and orange eyes, being reminded of how much you loved the man in front of you. Though you always got his with a wave of sadness, because looking at him reminded you of everything you both lost, but of what you almost didn't get back. You grabbed his hand again and squeezed, looking away from his strong gaze.

"Something wrong?" He asks, his brow furrowing again.

"I just… I didn't think I'd ever see this day. Us, hiding away in an abandoned home from the rain and not because of demons. You, in front of me, healthy and not going out to risk your life in another dangerous battle… I guess I'm just happy for what I have. Knowing it almost all got taken away from me." You looked back up into his eyes, giving him a light smile but it didn't reach your e/c ones.

Kyojuro squeezed your hand back and leaned forward, kissing your forehead before moving down to kiss your lips. It turned out to be a little wet from the rain, but you didn't mind. It was rare for him to show signs of affection. Little did anyone know, he was a very guarded off person but you knew him better than most and he wasn't always as guarded with you. The kiss was gentle but quick, he pulled away before looking at you with a determined gaze.

"No need to think of the past when I'm right here in front of you. We have lost a lot, and I regret every single person I was unable to save. But if we always look back at our mistakes, we can't create a future. And I want a future with you, so let's not think about our past." His tone was strong and his eyes unwavering. He always knew what to say and how to say it. It made you shake your head, but with a smile on your face.

You leaned in to kiss him again, resting your other hand on his cheek. "You're right, I should just think about us and the future we'll make together." Giving him a bright grin, you replied to him after pulling away from the kiss.

"Hmm, Y/N?" Kyojuro spoke up after a minute, the both of you just thinking in a comfortable silence about your time together.

"Yes?" You didn't get an answer before he was kissing you again, pushing you back against the wall in the corner you were both situated in. He was gentle as always, but this kiss came with a force you weren't used to, not that you would complain. You kissed him back with just as much vigor as your hand moved to rest on the back of his neck to hold him close. In that kiss he showed you all the love he had to give. Even though it showed rarely, Kyojuro was a passionate guy and gave everything a hundred and ten percent.

Once you both pulled away for air, you could see a fire in his eyes that made you blush but also made you curious. "What was that all about?" You asked a little breathless. You weren't used to such fierce kisses, out somewhere other then your home no less.

"I was talking to my father the other day, and he was really persistent with what he brought up." He looked at you with a clear gaze, Rengoku never got flustered, and that was something that made you squirm.

"O-oh? Is that so? What about?" You were confused that he brought that up all the sudden but he was a spontaneous man so you couldn't be that surprised. Though you were disappointed he pulled away and stopped kissing you.

"Yeah, he kept asking when we were going to give him grandchildren. I told him we just haven't found the time to really start our family yet but since we're stuck here in the rain for a while." He gave you an unexpected smirk as you watched him wearily. "I was thinking now might be as good a time as any.

"Wha-" You were cut off by his lips again, kissing you but once again in a gentle fashion.

In a way that showed he was giving you the choice to pull away if you so desired, thinking it was too much. But you never really shied away from Kyojuro's affections, especially with how rare they were. So you grabbed onto his Kimono and pulled him closer.
