#demonslayer fluff

Currently it was a hot, uncomfortable summer day, and here I was sitting on my porch, calmly sipping on my fresh iced tea. I hate the heat; it ruins my mood and makes it hard for me to want to do anything. considering I don’t have a mission nor any plans for today, I was feeling rather bored..

But suddenly, that’s when an Imaginary light bulb went off above my head. I remembered Sanemi, that one aggressive and intense looking Hashira gets back from his weekly patrol today! I instantly grinned in satisfaction at the thought, I mean I knew most people didn’t like him and tended to avoid him because of his demeanor.. but I actually find him rather intriguing. 

Well.. maybe it’s because, I’ve found him attractive since we first met, or it could be the fact that I find guys with scars all over their bodies... yeah. I have a small crush on him, but hey! that’s not important right now. Other than that, I just love to mess with him! I find his reactions rather funny. (and cute.)

I placed my cup of tea down before standing, I dusted the imaginary dust off my uniform before beginning my new mission. I would like to call it ‘Operation: piss off Sanemi!’ I know, great name!

I walked around for awhile gathering info on Sanemi’s return, mainly from Obanai (totally wasn’t a hassle!) and Uzui. I then waited outside the Wind esate, I walked around the outside of his mansion mainly due to boredom.

But, I then got bored of walking around, so I decided to just sit outside in the front, while i waited. And not long after, I saw a figure approaching me. My eyes instantly lit up, my demeanor as well. I arose to my feet and quickly made my way over to Sanemi with a rather large grin plastered across my face, He immediately noticed my sudden presence and tensed up.

“What the hell-” Sanemi grumbled to himself as he stared at me with that rather intense look, he then crossed his arms and gave me a look that said ‘explain yourself.’

“Hey Sanemi! funny seeing your here right?” I ironically said, as I gave him a mischievous smile that probably gave away why I was really here. But that didn’t matter! I’m stubborn and I will succeed in my plan! (Or will I...)

“I live here. And you know that. so why are you really here Y/n.” He gave me a serious look, or well what I assumed was one, as it was kinda hard to tell sometimes, since he’s missing ya know... (his eyebrows.)

“...Fine! I just wanted to come visit my favorite Hashira bro! since you just got back from patrol!”

My smile widened, as I put both of my hands up in a jazzy motion. Sanemi instantly rolled my eyes at me, he always did that whenever I referred to him as my favorite anything, I guess he doesn’t believe me? “Whatever Y/n...”

Sanemi grumbled at me, before walking past me swiftly. I quickly turned around and trailed a few steps behind him. “What? I’m serious!”

He simply ignored me and tried to tune me out as well. He didn’t believe that, I mean why should he? you always joked around with him, it was hard for him to know when you’re being for real with him; and that’s what frustrates him. 

Sanemi walked up to the front door to his estate’s mansion, I swiftly moved in front of him and blocked him from accessing the door handle, so he wouldn’t be able to escape me. “What-!? what... are you doing. Let me pass now. I’m not in the mood for your little games Y/n.”

“Wow... you really love saying my name, don’t you?” I outrightly blurted out to him, we both blinked at each other. I quickly cleared my throat, pretending that wasn’t on accident and that I’m smooth. “What I meant to say was, this isn’t a game! well it was originally.. but it’s not anymore! I swear I’m being super serious right now!”

I basically pleaded for him to believe me and to trust me, He raised a non-existent eyebrow at me while he processed everything that just came out of my mouth. He then let out an annoyed sigh, before he gestured at the front door. “Let’s go inside.”

I stared at him stunned, I didn’t think he would invite me inside. I then happily smiled at him and quickly moved out of his way so he could unlock, and open the front door for us.

Sanemi led me inside of his mansion, we both took our footwear off at the door. He then led me further in, He brought me to the living area and gestured for me to sit. I quickly nodded and took a seat on the ground at the center table, Sanemi then sat across from me. He took one short glance at me, before he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath and released an exhausted sigh.

“Would you like anything?” He calmly asked me; I was pretty surprised that he was being so calm towards me suddenly. His eyes remained closed as I quickly shook my head, before realizing and chirping out. “No, I’m fine!”

Sanemi opened his eyes again and stared at me, He slowly nodded his head as his demeanor was a whole lot calmer. I relaxed, and fidgeted with my fingers. It felt weird spending time with Sanemi in private like this, I really liked it.

“What about you? Is there anything you need?” I asked him in a gentle tone, I could tell he was pretty surprised by me asking him that. He quietly cleared his throat, before nodding. “Would you mind making me some tea? I’d like to relax for a moment.”

He asked me rather quietly, which again stunned me. I nodded my head back at him and arose to my feet. “Of course, I don’t mind! would you like it iced or hot?”

“Iced. Also, the kitchen is down the hall, to the left. The box of tea should be on the counter.” He simply explained to me, where the kitchen and tea were. I nodded my head once more, before leaving the living area of Sanemi’s mansion.

I quietly made my ways through the hallway, and took a left causing me to stumble across the kitchen. I was glad I found it immediately, as it would have been awkward if I got lost. I walked over to the counter; I then grabbed the box of teas and began looking through it before I picked one.

I picked the one I assumed Sanemi would like, or well I really hoped he would, I want him to praise me and tell me I have good taste. Thinking about that made me feel all warm and giddy inside, I grinned to myself as this was my new goal. And with that I began preparing the iced tea for Sanemi, I moved as quickly as I could as I didn’t want him to wait long for me.

After I finished, I pulled out two glassed and poured the iced tea. I found some bendy straws in one of his drawers while I was preparing the tea, so I picked two out for Sanemi and I. (He got green, and I chose f/c for me!)

I then quickly made my way back to the living area with the two drinks in each hand, I finally got back and noticed Sanemi still sitting at the center table patiently waiting for me. Once I walked in, His head instantly turned, and I could feel his gaze on me. I smiled awkwardly at him, as I brought the drinks over.

I placed his down in front of him, before walking to the other side of the table. I placed my drink down and took a seat across Sanemi again. I wiped the imaginary sweat from my forehead and glanced over at Sanemi, I watched as he took a sip from the glass of iced tea that I just placed down in front of him.

My eyes went wide in anticipation, I was really curious to know his thoughts on the tea I made. Sanemi briefly closed his eyes as he took a few more sips from the iced tea, he then opened them again and glanced at me rather blankly. “it’s good.”

He said it in a monotone voice, which threw me off, but I still felt a sense of relief after he told me the tea is good. I gave him a double thumbs up, before I myself took a rather long sip from the tea I made. Sanemi was right! the tea is good!

I took a long sip once again and closed my eyes. I licked my lips and hummed in satisfaction, I then slowly reopened my eyes and glanced at Sanemi, I then slightly flinched as the sight in front of me had caught me off guard. It was Sanemi, yes. But he was staring at me, I glanced around the room for a few seconds as he wasn’t saying anything and I didn’t want to either, so I just kept my mouth closed.

“Why’d you stop.” Sanemi suddenly spoke up, his tone of voice was rather serious, though I could tell he was just being curious. “Uhm. well, because...!”

“Because..?” He curiously replied.

“Because.” I firmly spoke, as I gave him a closed eyes smile and a thumbs up. He narrowed his eyes and me, before shaking his head. “that’s not a proper answer.”

“And what would you know about proper answers!?” He immediately glared at me, I waved my hands back and forth before I quickly corrected myself. “I mean... Because. It’s)hard)to)drink)my)tea)when)you)stare)at)me)like) that.”

He deadpanned and gave me an obviously confused look, as I immediately shrugged at him. My eyes darted away from him, as I lifted my straw and cup of tea back to my lips and began taking long, very long sips. Sanemi swiftly grabbed my arm and pulled it away, so the cup was no longer near my mouth. I awkwardly smiled at him. “Repeat that. Not gibberish this time.”

My eyes darted downwards, as I knew this was the end. There’s no way I’m getting out of this, Embarrassment free. Sanemi was still holding my arm, while giving me that usual, cute... intense look. I cleared my throat before confidently looking up and firmly repeated myself. “It’s hard to drink my tea, when you look at me like that!”

He gave me a (•_•) look, as he let go of my arm. I was slightly panicked as I didn’t know how he would react. I fidgeted with my fingers, as I stared at him nervously. He then shook his head and quietly spoke. “Excuse me?”

“What... do you even mean by that.” 

I cleared my throat again, man it was getting hot! in here. I then gave him a goofy smile and tried to play this off. “Oh, I think you know what I mean.”

He narrowed his eyes, and what I assumed was raising what would be his eyebrow, if he had one. It was like there was an imaginary (?) floating above his head, I just simply grinned at him and continued. “You’re very distracting...”

“What!?” He basically barked at me, as I immediately realized how wrong that sounded. I shook my head and awkwardly smiled at him. “Not like that, I promise!..”

“... How. Hm!? What’s distracting about me then. Go on.” He gave me a serious look once again as he spoke, I knew he was only giving me one chance at fixing this. I softly sighed, there’s no escaping this. kill me now...

“Your face, your eyes, your demeanor... but most of all.. your scars.” I responded in a sincere way, I then placed my cup of tea down and placed my hands in my lap. I was still worried because I didn’t know how he would feel about hearing that.. from me of all people too.

“My scars. You think my scars are distracting. why. because they’re unattractive? You think my scars are ugly? Okay.” He retorted nonchalantly; I was confused. Did he seriously just ignore everything else I just said to him? and not only that! he took my words and made it seem like I called him ugly, I was stunned.

“What!?! NO! that’s not what I’m saying...” I had to calm myself down, I was getting pretty worked up over this I mean I just didn’t want Sanemi to get the wrong idea, ya know? (totally not because I like him and don’t want him to think I find him ugly.. yea.. no way!)

“I don’t think your scars are ugly.. Sanemi!” I let out a deep breath, which was basically just a frustrated sigh. Sanemi just remained silent, and continued staring at me. His expression was rather unreadable, so I just tried my best not to focus on it.

“In fact... I like your scars.. and I think they’re cute.” After I said that, I could instantly notice that Sanemi was thrown off by me using the word ‘cute’ in reference to his scars. I wanted to play it smooth with him, so I immediately smiled at him and did a small hand gesture, I was trying not to show any weakness that would indicate that I was nervous. (I don’t think it was working...)

“Let me get this straight. Okay. Not only did you just say.. ‘You like my scars.’ but that you also find them.. ‘cute’. You have to be crazy. You must be.” He basically snarled at me.

I didn’t understand how it was so difficult for him to understand that I’m serious. I shook my head at him, as I then tried to think of a way that I could make him understand. (Why was this so difficult!?)

Apart from the fact that I was just curious to know generally, But I just wanted to understand why he didn’t want to believe me, or like why he thinks that I must be crazy for finding him- well.. his scars cute.  “I mean, since when was it unbelievable that your bro would think your scars are cute. What’s weird about that!”

Sanemi just stared at me shocked, stunned even. He didn’t know what to say, though it was just a bit noticeable that he seemed disappointed at the mention of “bro”. “I mean. I guess nothing… I just wasn’t expecting that. from you.”

I nodded my head as he admitted that there was nothing wrong with a bro, calling another bros scars cute. yep, definitely not sus or anything. I then responded, at first my voice started rather quiet but gradually got louder. “well.. I didn’t mean it in the bro way.. But I’m glad you think nothing is wrong with that!”

“Wait what?” Sanemi gave me a look; I gave him one in return.

“Nothing!”

“Oh no. that definitely wasn’t ‘nothing’,” Sanemi started, but he paused as he processed exactly what I just said. He then continued, “You think, my scars are cute. in the non bro way? really?”

I knew it was over for me now, I was a dead man. I glanced around the room, maybe there was an emergency escape route I could take? no? seriously. I then glanced back at Sanemi, who was indeed still staring at me with those wide eyes. I dryly laughed, as I just slowly nodded my head up and down, instead of responding.

“Thats not an answer.”

“Yes...” I eventually blurted out, could this situation be anymore awkward? probably. I lowered my head in shame, I thought he was going to laugh at me or be weirded out. And I didn’t know which would be worse, on one hand I would be getting rejected, on the other I would be getting rejected. Why didn’t I just stay home and finish my tea? alone? 

Why did I want to piss Sanemi off? oh, yeah, because I was bored. Damn you boredom! It felt like time wasn’t moving or well at least that’s how it felt for me, Sanemi went silent again. It seriously would be a great time to just, get up and jump out a window right now! but... sadly there were no windows nearby.

“You’re seriously.. not joking? I mean you have to be. because I don’t understand how you can look at me. and think ‘cute’. so you’re either joking, or you’re crazy, which one is it.” Sanemi spoke rather harshly towards me; But I didn’t let it offend me though, as I was starting to realize that he just doesn’t want to accept the truth.

But just because someone doesn’t want to accept something doesn’t mean it’s not true, and I know my feelings for him are well, the truth. I wasn’t going to give up on this.

I held out my hand, as I used my other one to gesture for Sanemi to place his hand on top of mine. Once he did so, I held his hand in place and used my other one to trace along his hand and up to his arm. “Neither.”

“…”

“I know cute isn’t the word most people would use.. but that doesn’t mean anything! Because this is my opinion on you, and I think your scars are apart of who you are. And since I find you cute, that would make your scars cute as well!” I basically rambled on to him, it was like one of those moments where you want to sound cool but in reality, you sound like a hot mess.

Throughout everything Sanemi remained silent, I think it was due to shock (or maybe it was because you’re still tracing his arm, with your fingers.) who knows. But once he regained his composure, his first immediate thought was what you just called him. “You think... I’m cute.”

“Yes?” I wanted to try and sound confident, but he wasn’t really reacting, so it made me nervous. Sanemi on the other hand was stunned, He never thought someone who he liked would think that way of him. Yes, Sanemi indeed likes Y/n as well, but he constantly gets that nagging feeling that there’s no way someone like him, would like him back. But hearing you refer to him of all people, as cute made his heartbeat speed up.

Sanemi liked spending time with Y/n, He always thought about how Y/n didn’t care how mean, intense, and aggressive he was, he always went out of his way to do such nice things for Sanemi, and he didn’t even know why. He desperately wanted to know if they felt the same for each other, but Sanemi would always crush that thought by reminding himself there’s no way that would be possible.

I was very confused as to what Sanemi was spacing out about, I had tried waving my hand in front of his face and calling his name multiple times but neither worked. I was getting more nervous as he remained silent, his expression remained blank and mine was becoming more worried as time went on.

After what seemed like forever Sanemi finally snapped out of his thoughts, and briefly shook his head. I felt relieved that he was back, but I was still worried for what he’s going to say to me. Sanemi couldn’t believe this; I mean It was just so surprising to him. A few more seconds passed, and Sanemi then took in a deep breath, before letting it out and glancing over at you. “Why...”

“Why what?” I responded, I was trying my best to stay calm, and I could tell he was too. It seemed as though Sanemi was hesitant about what he was going to say next. “Why do you think that.”

He spoke rather bluntly towards me, but it didn’t bother me. I just simply flashed him a smile and took a small breath, now is the best time for me to just confess everything. I was obviously still nervous, but it was now or never! “I don’t really have a specific reason as to why I think you’re cute, but it could be due to the fact that I like you...”

I spoke calmly to him; I didn’t make eye contact and I could just tell my hand were shaking from the sudden anxiety I was feeling. Sanemi’s eyes went wide, well wider than before and it looked as though he had just seen a ghost. He has never been in more shock than he was right now, he couldn’t even believe what he just heard, the shock he was experiencing caused his lips to part. He was just staring at you like just told him the greatest news he could ever hear.

“You like me? Like that? are you serious? This isn’t a joke, right?” He immediately began asking a bunch of questions after he recovered from the shock, I was pretty surprised he wasn’t judging me. “Yes... I’m serious, and yes, I like you like that.”

The corners of Sanemi’s mouth turned upwards, as a huge smile was now present on Sanemi’s face. He was still a bit wary of this, but at the same time he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed by this. Sanemi then cleared his throat before speaking in a smooth voice. “That’s really funny because. I like you, like that, as well.”

Now it was my turn to be in shock, I immediately looked up towards Sanemi and my eyes went wide. I noticed the way he was smiling; it was easy for me to tell he was actually being sincere. I rapidly blinked at him, as I didn’t even know what to say. All I could do is mutter out a shocked. “Really!?”

Sanemi lightly snickered at my reaction, before he eventually nodded his head. I genuinely wasn’t expecting this, I would have never guessed Sanemi and I shared the same feelings for one another. 

At this point Sanemi and I were just staring at each other silently, neither of us were moving nor speaking. It was a comfortable silence, one that made me feel even more happy, as I couldn’t believe this actually happened. So, after who knows how much time passed, I quietly cleared my throat before smoothly asking Sanemi the big question. “Does this mean... I can officially say that... we’re boyfriends!?”

Sanemi blinked at me, before he rolled his eyes and snickered at my question. He then simply nodded his head and muttered out a quiet. “Yeah.. I guess... whatever.”

“Yay!!” I couldn’t help but happily cheer out, as Sanemi confirmed I could call him and I boyfriends. While you cheered over that fact, Sanemi couldn’t help but think about how cute you looked. A small smile appeared on his face as he stared at you happily, which quickly returned to a intense look as he remembered something. 

“Now finish your damn tea!!!” Sanemi shouted, though it seemed much softer than his usual voice. I immediately nodded my head and quickly went back to drinking my tea with a happy look on my face. In which Sanemi did the same, as afterwards we ended up spending the rest of the day together happily, and now classified as boyfriends!
