❄︎ inosuke hashibira

the two of you first met at his solo mission at a nearby town

you were on your way to the headquarters because oyakata-sama requested for some aid and manpower from foreign demon slayer corps

THIS GUY WILL UNDERSTAND IMMEDIATELY

his guesses are not on point but he gets what you're trying to say

even as you learn japanese steadily, this guy will make everything about him

teaches you boar language as well

you were staying at a rest house when a commotion occurred outside. grabbing your sword, you saw a boar head sparring with a demon. apparently, one managed to escape your hold earlier. you opted to get the people to safety to prevent damages

afterwards, you tried to introduce yourself to him and explain your situation but it took a few tries before he understood you (with the help of his kasugai crow).

you weren't able to meet oyakata-sama yet because of personal reasons, so inosuke insisted on taking a detour on the mountains, he taught you a few words that could be useful when communicating during missions

"so you're the boss?" you asked with wide eyes as he let out a boisterous laugh while nodding in agreement

"and you're also the god of the mountain?" you continued, watching as he relished in your acknowledgement and praise. "do you have a shrine? or a temple?" you asked, making him stop in his tracks

dear god you just inserted a new idea in his head.

the next time you meet him was when your aid was needed in a mission in the red light district. remembering that he told you that he was the boss, you exclaimed and greeted him from a distance

"oyakata-sama!!!" you shouted, making tanjiro and zenitsu freeze. uzui's eyes almost popped out of its sockets as he glared down at inosuke.

"WHAT NONSENSE HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING THE FOREIGN MEMBER!? HOW DARE YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS OYAKATA-SAMA!?"

you didn't mean to almost end inosuke's life by the hands of uzui, but, he is oyakata-sama? right?

❄︎ zenitsu agatsuma

exhilarated at the thought of a new female slayer joining their missions

TRIES SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND YOU

to the point he wants you to teach him your language

the two of you met at the butterfly estate when he was recuperating

you popped in sometimes during their training and during your breaks from japanese lessons

saves you from tanjiro's and inosuke's dumb concepts

"y/n-chaaaan~" he called out upon hearing your footsteps approach them, making him pause from training. he grumbled in annoyance when aoi pulled him back.

introduction was quick, because his enthusiasm went through the roof, and he understood your drawings and diagrams and broken japanese while explaining your circumstances

literally pulls you away from tanjiro and inosuke because he knows that those two will try to trick you into believing false things about japan and its culture

however, he can't always keep his eyes on you

so one day, when you two were training, you brought up a topic that you got from a reliable source (tanjiro and inosuke)

"hey, zenitsu, what's it like being an oiran?" you asked innocently, cleaning the blade of your sword. zenitsu, on the other hand, looked like he was about to butcher two people soon

"w-wha- where did you even get that term?" he asked slowly but you can see his eyes filled with bloodlust. oh how he wanted to bury his friends 6ft underground right now

"well, tanjiro and inosuke told me that you were an oiran" you said, making steam go out of zenitsu's ears

"what did they tell you it meant?" he treaded lightly, making you turn to him confusedly. "well, they told me it is used to address someone who almost turned into a spider" you answered back and zenitsu did not whether to laugh or cry. "i heard about the natagumo mountain mission, there are a lot of oiran in the corps, huh?" you muttered to yourself

safe to say, zenitsu made tanjiro and inosuke feel what it feels to be almost turned into a spider

𑁍 megumi fushiguro

(it is hard to coax him after a prank so why did you even think about doing this)

but you do anyways, and he catches up on early, knowing it’s a prank

but you don’t know how to yield, so you keep on evading it for THREE WHOLE DAYS (payback for that handholding thing maybe)

convinced that it isn’t a prank because you cannot resist his kisses

he rarely gives you kisses so you usually cherish each but you’ve kept on evading them for three days, it’s not a prank? right?

he racked his mind to think if he ever did anything to make you mad or upset

did gojo put you up to this? he might just punch that mop hair one of these days

did gojo record the other day when a girl asked him for directions and misled you into believing he was flirting?

that can’t be right, you won’t believe gojo that easily 

but what if it’s right? what if you’re fed up? then what? 

so he does the right thing, he takes you to the theater to see a movie and bought you dinner afterwards

“so uhh, about um, how do i...” he trailed off, not knowing how to bring it up

you chuckled and stop drinking off your soda, pressing a kiss to the corner of his lips, making him flush red

“hey, that was just a prank. gojo said it’d work” you admitted, laughing when his eyebrows knitted together

let’s just say you had doubts that gojo was the strongest sorcerer around when megumi’s divine dogs beat him up the next day

also, no kisses from him for ONE WEEK 

𑁍 nobara kugisaki

(yeah no, your face is going to get bruised by kisses no matter what kind of evading you do)

but you kind of like that so you’ll go ahead with this prank

is kind of suspicious that this is a prank, but the glare you sent her made her yield and believe that you really are mad

but she did not believe that she did anything wrong, because she is always right

she’d kiss you all over with no relent, making you so close to giving him up

for the sake of that 150,000 yen worth of bet with gojo, you lashed out on her

“WOULD YOU STOP ON FOOLING AROUND, KUGISAKI?!”

SHE TEARED UP

you wanted nothing more than to hug her and cuddle her and kiss her for hours but a hundred thousand yen was on the line (this is for your new bags, nobara, please hold on) 

she runs out of the room, and you texted gojo, jumping in victory when you see 150,000 yen deposited in your account

you did not waste any time, buying her the new bag she wanted last week

you ran to the desert shop you two would always have a date in, seeing her gobbling down all the ice cream mochis

you chuckled and hugged her from behind, pressing a kiss to her nape, making her turn around to glare at you, eyes lighting up when she saw the paper bag, 

“that was a bet with gojo, your bag was on the line so i had to do it” you said, suppressing your laughter when her lips trembled

“and so? did you think i would yield on a limited edition designer bag?”

“you won’t?” you asked, rubbing the back of your neck while swaying the paper bag

“i would” she said and took the bag, peppering kisses all over your face, making you laugh

𑁍 toge inumaki

(bold of you to assume that he doesn’t know that this is a trending prank everywhere)

he does not like it, not in the tiniest bit

in a dilemma whether he'd do it back or just annoy you until you give in and surrender

he goes with the former, because he wants to show you who's the real boss in the relationship so you'll stop with these silly pranks

has surprisingly good patience, he lasted 5 days man

you were baffled, you thought you'd get him real good with this prank, but why'd it backfire?

you had to coax him this time, but he looked at you with blank eyes, refusing to lower his collar

you became the annoying one for the day, clinging onto him and following him as if you were his shadow, but to no avail, he refused to give in

you could smack gojo in the face for putting you up to this but that stupid infinity is holding you back (a traumatized ass honestly)

you set up a date night in your room, building a mini pillow and blanket fort and prepared some snacks

he arrived soon, surprised by the array in front of him

you tackled him with a hug, holding him in a tight grip while planting kisses all over him, not giving him a chance to evade them

"love, that was just a prank! forgive me please?" you asked and tugged on his collar

he chuckled and lowered his collar, planting a soft, sweet kiss on your lips

after that, he carried you onto the fort you made and cuddled, watching a movie

it might seem like it wasn't a big deal to him, but little did you know, he was already plotting a payback

𑁍 maki zen'in

(i thought we already settled to never EVER prank this woman again????)

you don't back down from a challenge, however, especially if it's from that walking credit card

so with bragging rights and his silence for three days on the line, you gave this prank a go, hoping that your girlfriend wouldn’t break up with you

it was a must for you to kiss one another after waking up

so maki was dumbfounded when you ducked her kiss, opting to fix the blankets

she thought you did not realize she was about to kiss you so she hugged you from behind, leaning in to kiss you

only for you to evade, freeing yourself from her hug

girl was like “???? tf is wrong with you???”

UPSET MAKI ACTIVATED 

won’t talk to u for the entire day, no affection whatsoever too and won’t even eat with you at lunch, making panda and inumaki laugh at you as you pick at your food with a pout

your tactics doesn’t work aka you dug your own grave and desperate situations call for desperate measures

so you faked being sick, missing your first and second period to make it more believable

it succeeded when maki barged into your dorm during lunch with food, stopping in her tracks when she sees you cleaning

knocks the broom off of your hand and proceeds to carry you in your bedroom (bridal style) and spoon feed you lunch quietly

“hey, i’m sorry, please talk to me *fake coughs*” you continued to act, earning a grunt from her

you smiled in victory when she planted a quick kiss on your forehead, “do that again and i’ll find a new partner, airhead”

take this threat seriously because she WILL NOT hesitate to do it

❄︎ inosuke hashibira

his hands are rough and scarred after all those years of living and surviving in the mountains, also a bit sweaty at times

he actually has no issues with his hands, says that the scars shows his manliness and victories, and you couldn’t agree more

holds your hand all the time, you have to pry your hand off his grip most of the time because he is reluctant to let go

does not let the others see it though, so he walks behind the squad during missions, beside you, just to hold your hand

traces the lines on your palm with his nail, also likes to draw random stuff on your palm, letting you guess what he just drew

but there are times when he does not want to hold hands

that is in the midst of battles, and when he is injured

he does not want you to feel the coldness of his palms and does not want to hold you with bleeding hands

he really loves your hands, making flower rings from the prettiest flowers he found in the forest, makes sure you have at least 5 of it. 

even better if you have smaller hands than him, because he likes to compare hand sizes and wants to keep your hands warm by sandwiching it between his

your touch brings him warmth and solace that he failed to have during his childhood

❄︎ zenitsu agatsuma

has surprisingly rough hands accompanied by chipped nails, all because of the years spent under anxiety and pressure brought about his inability to perform the rest of the thunder breathings

the time or place does not matter, this guy doesn't let go of your hand

always holds on so tight, to the point that your hand becomes numb and his knuckles turn white, you're surprised he hasn't broken your bones yet

comes up to you and just holds it, sometimes using it to pat his head, or to cradle his face, he adores hand holding

when i said never lets go, i mean never. not in battles, not during recuperation. he only lets go when you are taking a bath

there's also one scenario wherein he lets go, but he often prays that this scenario does not occur often

he lets go of your hand when he's hindering you during a combat

so, after letting go and putting some distance to let you move freely, he waits until the demon you are facing turns to nothing but ashes

checks your hands for injuries, cuts, wounds. he doesn't want to see your hand dirtied or fractured

kisses on the knuckles before sleeping

your caress to zenitsu is like his beacon of light in the dark world, an affirmation that you'll stay, always

it doesn't matter who liked who first, yoriichi will confess to you as soon as he is sure about his feelings

will also find the right timing and place for his confession, to make sure that you are comfortable

although he does care about your feelings, he does not mind the chances of reciprocation. he's at ease as long as he's able to confess

in the early stages of your relationship, yoriichi is kind of awkward and hesitant about the way he acts around you

kind of treats you like you're made of glass and very tense when you two are alone

but all that dissipates after a few weeks

takes you out on dates at least once a week, it is an unspoken rule

be it he plans a picnic on a sunday, or shows up at your doorstep at eleven in the evening to go to a hot spring, he will find time to be with you

his kasugai crow will always land at your windowsill every other night, a letter from yoriichi carefully tucked in its beak

the letter's content was about how he was doing, the details of his mission, how much he misses you, how he looks forward to your next dates, and how he falls asleep every night to the thought of loving you the next morning he wakes up

he knows that you know how dangerous and difficult his job is as a demon hunter, which is he reassures you all the time, that he will be safe

lets you treat his wounds (very rare though because he always gets out unscathed) because it makes you feel at ease

whenever he comes back from a mission, no matter the duration, he'd always have something for you

be it a new kimono, a trinket, a pair of earrings, or even sweets, yoriichi will never come home empty handed

during his day offs, he'd always ask you if there are places you want to go to or if you only want to stay in

if you choose the former, you two would visit the place you like with yoriichi by your side at all times. not too suffocating nor too far, he's just, there

holds your hand in public as long as you are comfortable with it and takes you to try different cuisines

if anyone gives you any sort of suggestive or ill gaze, all your lover needs to do is to send a condescending gaze to the other person

if ever you want to stay indoors, yoriichi will take this time to help you with the chores

he cooks from breakfast to dinner and tries to minimize your workload

tries to learn how to sew, and does repairs in the faults in the house too

as for sleeping together, yoriichi is fine with either being the small or big spoon, as long as he sleeps nect to you

he prefers to be the small spoon after long missions, while he prefers to be the big spoon on normal days

very gentleman, we already established this on your first date in the night theater

the epitome of beauty, of grace, of purity

yoriichi is everything you'll ever need, you'll ever want

and you're the one he needs, the only one he'll ever need

and as your relationship continues to bloom and grow deeper and stronger, talks about marriage starts to appear

plans about the future are spilled from the lips

and yoriichi is afraid, because nothing is for sure

he's not a god, nor a deity, nor some sort of invincible being, he's no more than just a master of his craft

but yoriichi also wanted to be selfish for once

and it was worth it

the smile on your face when he put the ring on your finger, the blush on your cheeks as you walked down the aisle, the light in your eyes as he pulled you for a kiss

the joy he felt as he tied the knot with you, outwighed all the negative feelings he felt beforehand

cooking meals together, picking fruits in the forest, swimming in the lakes, gardening and planting together

don't forget the silly dances in the living room while he hums your favorite song, the moonlight outside making him look more breathtaking

oh, only if you knew how much yoriichi adored you with every inch of his being

how much he thanks the gods before he sleeps for giving you to him. how much he thanks the gods when he wakes up that he's given another day to be with you

only if you knew how much yoriichi loves you more than his own life and duties

how much he wants to cling to you just like he did to his mother, everyday for the rest of your lives

how much he looks up and respects you because of your strength like his older brother

only if you knew the regret that filled him when he sees you and your unborn child's dead body on the tatami mat

only if you knew that he spent the rest of his life making sure that the same tragedy will never befall on another family

and you do, you know

because yoriichi felt at home at last when he sees you and your brilliant smile in the afterlife, your left arm cradling your son

yoriichi felt at home when he had you both in his embrace

because yoriichi tsugikuni, the founder of all the breaths, the strongest there is, got to where he is today because of you

he managed to have the breath of sun, because you brought it to his world

after endless nights of looking at the moon, you gave him the sun, the stars, and everything else

he was chosen by the gods, he was given the strength, the sight, the power and speed. he was chosen to put an end to the misery in the world

and he's glad you chose him

you chose him to be your home

and that was the best decision you ever made

additional a/n:

me writing the first half: mhm okay, we will write fluff because in this house, we adore yoriichi

me on the second half: yknow what, let's add a pinch of angst because why not

me at the end: OH WAIT YEAH IT'S VALENTINES! oops, hope you still like it though

❄︎ zenitsu agatsuma

he met you at his training grounds late at night, when he was silently practicing behind his grandfather’s back

you looked at ease and charming under the moonlight, sitting on the grass as you watched the flowers dance

but your combat skills were the opposite

because he accidentally let go of the first technique of breath of thunder and you began to attack him, recognizing danger as the thunder resonated

but when he tried to strike back, you’d just skillfully evade him and snicker at how he was crying 

the fight did not last long, zenitsu passing out from the fright and fear you brought him

the nights progressed like that

him spying on you as you laid on the grass and admired the moon

you got fed up and asked him things, striking up random conversations

he did too, eager to know more about the demon under the moon

so he got attached

you got attached

you two'd only meet at night, duh his grandpa's a former hashira

soon, he entered the final selection, and you saw him off

he returned a week later, still teary eyed

he started to create a wooden box for you to stay in during his missions (which he's very reluctant to attend)

he filled them with flowers and other decorations and blankets to make you comfortable

you're more part of the corps than he is

simply because you're the one who gets the job done all the time

you fight the demons, evacuate the civilians, calm him down and do everything else

he's very grateful though! and tries to help in other ways

you both met tanjiro and nezuko soon enough, and you were glad to have more company

you were zenitsu's reassurance during his solo missions, and he tries so hard to keep up with you

zenitsu just wanted to train that night, but he was flad to have an encounter with you under the moonlight

bonus! genya + demon!reader (but doesn't follow the request details)

❄︎ genya shinazugawa

he met you when he was training at night, figuring out how to move the boulder himejima tasked him to do

he came back to the forest after a shower, freezing in his steps when he felt a demon nearby

taking his gun, he went to the source of the scent and aura

he saw you perched on top of the boulder, looking upwards as you swung your feet around

not hesitating, he fired his gun

only to freeze when you evaded the attack, head whipping to his direction

he was puzzled when you did not show any intent to attack nor to harm him

all you did was stare at him for a few moments, before tapping the space beside you and going back to staring to space

— "you have a rare blood. it makes me feel thirsty, but somehow you also feel like one of us"

seeing your guard down, he did the same, relaying to you his abilities and skills

you told him in turn your experiences when you are human and how you plan to go on as a demon

you two exchanged words and stories under the night sky, all the way until the sun was nearing the horizon

you hopped off the boulder and waved goodbye to him, fading deep into the forest

he knew a friendship was not possible if he wanted to continue to learn under gyomei

you knew a friendship was not possible because he was a demon hunter

both of you knew that this was only a chance encounter, meant to end just as quick as it began

but to genya, the demon who sat on top of the boulder and stared at the stars while listening to his pathetic story left an imprint in his heart

— "let's meet on the battlefield one day. let's be on the same side, fight on the same side, and win as one!"

𖣔 shoto todoroki

poor baby confessed acidentally, but you both confessed at the same time

took a long time, to the point that you contemplated confessing first because you have a thin patience

but you can't blame him, he led a rough life so far so it was difficult to understand feelings, let alone love

he wasn't oblivious nor ignorant, so he can see the littlest signs of you liking him

took his sweet time to the point the squad was getting impatient, so they had to improvise

it was lunch time when ochaco and tsuyu approached you, inviting you to join them for lunch since they had some questions about the literature quiz later

arriving at their table, you stopped in your tracks, behind shoto, when you heard that you were the topic of the three guys

"when do you plan on confessing to y/n?" izuku started, looking at shoto with a sly smile

"i'm not sure yet. i don't think things will go smoothly right now" shoto replied, continuing his meal

"there's no time to waste, todoroki, what if other guys catch her attention?" tenya added fuel, making shoto freeze at his statement

izuku took this as his cue to make your presence known, greeting you as you took a seat next to shoto, feigning innocence as if you just arrived

everyone was stifling their giggles until the end of lunch time. shoto then cleared his throat, gathering everyone's attention

"listen, i... uhh, i've liked you for quite some time now, i was just unsure when or how to-" he was cut off by the ring of the bell. lunch was over

you gathered your stuff (they actually really needed to ask some things about literature)

"hey, there's this cafe that recently opened downtown, wanna check it out this saturday?" you asked

the rest giggled and squealed in delight, making you smile as well

he nodded, his eyes lighting up as a small smile appeared on his face

𖣔 katsuki bakugo

i'm betting my entire ancestral heirloom, you will never get this one to confess first

that being said, you confess first

you were reluctant to confess at first because katsuki has this tough and rough image so you had an inkling that things will not go smoothly

for starters, you did not know how to approach this guy who look like he'll blow anyone up within a 5 meter radius

you delayed it, kept on delaying and delaying until your patience finally wore thin, deciding to suck your uneasiness up and just confess

it was not easy

desperate situations call for desperate measures, you had to turn to eijiro, the best friend

being the best friend he is, he set you and katsuki up so you can confess without interruptions

d-day, katsuki was rooted in spot when he saw you there, instead of aizawa who "needed to talk to him"

"that damned red-haired keeps messing with me, i'll fucking blow his guts to pieces"

he calmed down though, at the sight of your wide eyes and small smile

you approached him, muttering a quick "ilikeyou, willyougooutwithme?" before facing away

a menace, a TOTAL menace. "yeah, you've been pretty obvious, y'know?" he said smugly, but the red tips of his ears gave him away

you laughed at his poor attempt to hide his shyness, and your laughter only grew louder when the entire bakusquad appeared from their hiding places, a string of profanities escaping katsuki's lips

ⁿᵒᵗ ᵍᵒⁱⁿᵍ ᵗᵒ ᵃᵈᵐⁱᵗ ⁱᵗ ᵇᵘᵗ ⁱᵗ ᵏⁱⁿᵈᵃ ᵇʳᵘⁱˢᵉᵈ ʰⁱˢ ᵉᵍᵒ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʰᵉ ʷᵃˢ ᵗᵒᵒ ᶜʰⁱᶜᵏᵉⁿ ᵗᵒ ᶜᵒⁿᶠᵉˢˢ ᶠⁱʳˢᵗ

𖣔 denki kaminari

you both confess at the same time, because you two were painfully oblivious to the other's feelings

your friends and his came up with a plan to finally put an end to the mutual pining going on between the two of you

why's he afraid to confess? he does not have a clue if you'll even return his feelings, and he feels that you are too good for him

why you're not confessing yet? there's no sign of any reciprocation of feelings and you were afraid of rejection

the obliviousness and mutual pining was painful to watch, so your friends could no longer stand idly by

on the day of the "study date", you were bombarded with messages that they couldn't make it because of emergencies and/or technical places

you were not dumb, you had an inkling that your friends would set you up sooner or later

the first few moments was tense and stiff, not knowing how to act around each other

coffee settled the deal and the air grew lighter

seeing you relaxed and sipping from your cup, denki thought it was the right moment to spit it out

"i like you, and i don't think these feelings will fade anytime soo- OH MY LORD, ARE YOU OKAY!?"

no you were not, you were choking on a latte for god's sake because of that sudden confession

"denki, i like you too but please don't say such surprising things when i'm drinking"

denki.exe has stopped working

you gripped his hand to bring him back to reality, a big smile adorning both of your faces

you owe your friends one

𑁍 tomura shigaraki

to be perfectly honest, he doesn't notice anything until kurogiri pointed it out

at first, he'd only point it out and tell you to gather your shit, because he doesn't want emotions getting in the way of missions

when your wellbeing declines dramatically, that's when he becomes a teeny weeny bit concerned, he can't have a member dying now, yknow?

so he forces you to eat, eat, eat but kurogiri tells him that it is ineffective when you throw up

so he resorts to patience

he tries to understand why this is happening to you, and spares some time to listen to your thoughts

and he becomes more aware and cautious about your circumstances

he lets you go bonkers when facing the enemy but steps in when you almost injure yourself

lets you play video games with him to occupy your mind and set aside the thoughts

(he'd offer you one of his hands to hide your face in when you cry, kinda musty but thanks ig shiggy)

cuts you some slack on missions, sometimes lets you sit out

he'd ask kurogiri to warp you and him to some good and peaceful places to ease your anxiety

is very patient until you progress and get better each day

but if his attempts fail, he'd subtly tell the others to look out for you too

when he's alone, he looks up the internet on how to make you feel better

tries to hire a private therapist to cure your depression, with your permission of course

tomura might be aloof and indifferent, but he cares for everyone in the depths of his heart. he'd like to provide a family for the lov, a family that the members were robbed of

𖣔 himiko toga

notices right away, and knows that it should not be taken lightly and needs immediate action

she won't point it out to others and like to keep it herself, to see what she can do for you

she'd observe you closely during meetings, either sitting across you or beside you to gauge your emotions and response

when your appetite begins to decline, she'd rack her brain to remember what your favorite food is and she'll try to make it

(fails and almost burns the hideout so she resorts to just ordering)

will eat with you

and do your hair afterwards, styling it to match her own

she'll also offer to help clean your room, while doing so, she matches outfits for you

goes out to the mall with you to relieve your stress and frustration, and also to get you some sunlight

lets you go on a rampage with enemies but she will step in when you lose your sense of rationality

also because you were getting drenched in too much blood, and even though it'd be useful for her quirk, she doesn't want to see you covered in blood

she stays with you whenever there's nothing to do, just keeping you company

listening to your rambles, complains, thoughts patiently

hugs you and comforts you with words as you cry on her shoulder

when you eventually get better, she will keep on hanging around you, because she didn't want you to go back to how you were

when her tactics fail and your mental health remains stagnant, she will talk to you to seek proper treatment

if you agree, she will always come with you during your sessions and check ups

if you do not wish to, she will understand and decide to keep a closer watch on you and always try to make you feel better

she'd always affirm you that you are not alone, and that she is always there for you

himiko is very patient and is a very good companion. she will patiently and carefully rid of the dust and dirt that you are in, pick you up from the muddle, making you shine again like the precious gem you are

additional a/n: a gentle reminder that depression shouldn't be romanticized and we cannot fully depend our mental health on a person. writing this, i am reminded once again that a lot of people are going through difficult circumstances and our health, no matter the aspect, can decline so much. to whoever reads this, i want you to know that you are not alone in your battle. there will always be people who are ready to stay and accompany you in facing life's challenges. my inbox is always open if you ever need someone to talk to or someone that will listen. you are loved and important, please always take care of yourself ♡

❀ mikasa ackerman

has the prettiest hands

loves handholding but only when you two are alone / not in public

does it at the most random times, doesn't even realize she's holding yours until you give her hand a gentle squeeze

you remembered the day she held on so tight to your hand

you were walking through the streets of marley and pretending to be locals when she grabbed your hand as you sped through the crowd, the others following behind

she stopped in front of an ice cream stall, ordering the two of you a cone

all the while keeping your hand in hers

you ate the ice cream, still hand in hand, ocassional squeezes here and there

even in the tent where everybody fell asleep in, passing out drunk from the alcohol, her hand still managed to find yours

even in the midst of chaos and war, her hand held onto yours tight, a silent promise of never letting go

and even though tears rapidly fell atop the blood stained hands, neither of you faltered, still holding on tight

because with mikasa, hand holding is the purest way to affirm the other that they are there, they are present

hand holding is a reflex for the two of you, finding its way to each other no matter the time, place or situation

with mikasa, hand holding is knowing you're safe and at peace

❀ armin arlert

sort of shy when it comes to skinship so you'll have to be the one to initiate it

like mikasa, armin prefers to hold hands in private, away from the prying eyes of other soldiers and cadets

his hand is large, totally enveloping yours whenever you hold hands

loves to clasp your hands and sway it back and forth as you take a night stroll, talking about the day's events and plans for the following day

has a habit of kissing your hand, just right on top of your knuckles before parting paths on a mission

you had a love-hate with this gesture

love it because it was one of the rare moments where he was okay with pda

hate it because you never know if it was the last one

so when you had to split up, you having to deal with reiner, and him having to deal with bertholdt, the kiss he placed felt  painful and bitter, a few tears landing on the back of your hand

and you hated yourself, when you were too afraid to hold his burnt hands, afraid that he'd crumble to ashes

so all you did was wait

and armin was awoken by drops of tear continuously landing at the back of his hands, a plea for him to wake up

his eyes met your reddened ones

he interlocked your hands and placed a kiss on your knuckles

"i'm here"
