𝗸𝗻𝘆 𝗵𝗰𝘀 ➠ "what's after like?"

synopsis: you know you and him arent just friends.

ft. rengoku, giyu, sanemi, obanai, muichiro, tengen

warnings: fem! reader

"you and i is more than like." ive, after like

r. kyojuro

• most people would assume that you two are dating at first glance

• you didn't mind it because you knew that you were just friends even if people didn't agree

• but sometimes you wonder if maybe you are more than just friends

• maybe not lovers but maybe not "just friends" either.

• maybe the way he's always all over you isn't something that "just friends" do

• maybe the way he always has his hands on you isn't something that "just a friend" would do

• maybe there's much more going on that you previously failed to realize.

• but then again, maybe he's just like that

• but every time he wraps his arms around your waist, you wonder if maybe there could be something a little bit more.

• "kyojuro?" you look up at him with your head on his shoulder

• "yes, y/n?" he smiles at you

• "have you ever thought...that maybe we aren't just friends?"

• he nods, "quite often, actually. but i never knew how i should've discussed it with you."

• you remove your head from his shoulder, "we're definitely not just friends. so, what are we?"

• "maybe...lovers?" he tilts his head.

• "probably lovers."

t. giyu

• giyu isn't one to really be "best friends" with someone

• so it's safe to say that you were surprised at the fact that he wanted to be friends with you

• giyu also isn't one to initiate physical contact with someone

• so it's also safe to say that you were surprised when he randomly hugged you from behind one day, his chin resting on your shoulder.

• however, it's a normal thing now. you don't mind it.

• until one day, mitsuri brought it up.

• "i'm glad you finally started dating giyu." she said

• you chuckled, "i'm not dating giyu. i promise you, we're nothing more than friends."

• "oh please, you think giyu would go around being all lovey-dovey with anyone? i mean, sometimes he seriously makes me wonder if maybe he's the actual love hashira!"

• you laughed at her joke, "even if we are a little more than friends, what's there that i can do about it?" you shrugged

• "ask him about it!" she exclaimed

• "y'know what, maybe i will."

• that brings you to your current situation.

• "giyu, i have to talk to you about something."

• "feel free." he nods

• "i don't think we should be friends anymore."

• "if that's what you want, i'm fine with it."

• "wait, no, that came out terribly. i mean that i think we should be something...more?"

• he smiles, "your wish is my command, y/n."

s. sanemi

• when you became friends, people automatically assumed you were dating which you couldn't blame them for. it's SANEMI we're talking about right now.

• sanemi being nice to someone? that's a literal miracle babe

• you didn't care at first

• but things got heated.

• and before you knew it, there was definitely something going on

• still, you were a little in denial.

• "y/n," sanemi taps your shoulder.

• "yes?" you look back at him, turning to face him

• "kiss me."

• "kiss me" is a normal thing to hear from sanemi now. but you doubt it's a normal thing to hear from just a friend.

• still, you comply. just a small peck on the lips isn't much, right?

• "another one,"

• shit escalated and now you're pressed up against the wall by sanemi

• "sanemi?" you ask the boy who's working his magic on your neck, leaving bite marks and hickeys.

• "hm?" he looks up at you

• "why do you ask for kisses so often? we're just friends."

• he scoffs, "bunny, you've gotta be delusional if you think we're just friends. i mean, look at us." he smirks

• "you're right, but then, what are we?"

• "does it matter? as long as i've got you and you've got me, we're fine. aren't we?"

• "but i need confirmation." you pout

• "then we'll be whatever you want us to be. i don't mind as long you're fine with it." he shrugs.

• "lovers it is?" you smile.

• "lovers it is." he returns the smile.

i. obanai

• obanai is also not one to easily befriend

• but you've caught him staring at you sometimes so you weren't too surprised when he asked to befriend you

• but you were quite surprised when you realized that he's actually a really good friend

• considering that you were almost always around him, people assumed you must be dating

• you didn't even know people assumed that

• until today, at a little "hashira get-together" that shinobu planned at her estate.

• all of the hashira were present, including your favorite snake boy. "obanai!" you waved from afar

• his attention immediately turns to you, who's approaching him. you sit beside him, making conversation until another hashira joins you too

• it was tengen, and he was mainly conversing with you. few minutes pass and sanemi joins in on your conversation. obanai is still part of the conversation, yet he chooses not to be.

• truth is, obanai always got jealous of the people who you give attention to. it doesn't help that, most of the time, they are obviously hitting on you.

• he glares at the two hashira talking to you, looking like he has murder on his mind.

• "are you and obanai dating?" tengen asks you.

• "no, we're just friends." you laugh.

• "really? because i'm sure he's planning on murdering me and tengen right now." sanemi points to obanai.

• after the get-together, you and obanai were taking a stroll under the pale moonlight.

• "we're just friends, huh?" he crosses his arms.

• "are we not?" you tilt your head

• "i don't know, but i don't think friends touch each other the way we do. friends don't act how we do, and you know that." his voice was laced with frustration and anger.

• "then, what are we?"

• "what do you think?" his voice was more aggressive than you'd expected.

• "lovers...?"

• "obviously." he rolls his eyes before wrapping an arm around your shoulder.

t. muichiro

• he slowly opened up to you during your cloud-watching sessions and that's what got you two so close

• he follows you around like a lost puppy when he's not cloud-watching or on a mission

• "oh look, there's y/n. muichiro must be nearby." was what people thought when they saw you

• that, and the possibility that you and the airhead mist hashira might be dating.

• maybe because he'd always cuddle up with you.

• he lay with his head in your lap and pointed at certain clouds. "y/n, look at that one!" he points. "it reminds me of you."

• you shift your attention to where he was pointing and saw a heart-shaped cloud. you entangle your fingers in his hair, "muichiro..have you ever thought that we don't act like friends?"

• "what do you mean?"

• "like..we act like we're dating even though we aren't."

• i'm gonna be honest, he fr thought you were dating

• "we're not??? 😨"

• he never understood that you actually have to ask a person out so he automatically just assumed you were dating 😭

• "no?? did you think we were dating?"

• "yes..i've been telling everyone that you're my girlfriend!"

• "muichiro!" you face-palm. "how about we actually make things official?"

• he nods, "that would be good."

• "then, from this moment on, we'll be lovers."

• "so i can call you my girlfriend for real?"

• "yes, you can call me your girlfriend for real."

u. tengen

• you didn't know what to expect when you signed up for a friendship with tengen uzui

• but it definitely wasn't dating rumors

• but the rumors became more...understandable? when you really payed attention to his actions

• even before you became friends, this man would subtly flirt with you NON STOP

• "you look very flashy today, y/n!"

• "i literally look the same everyday"

• "you look very flashy everyday, y/n!"

• people are aware that you're not dating him, but they're also aware that THE tengen uzui, god of festivals, wouldn't let just anyone sit on his lap.

• "c'mere," tengen pats his lap

• you leave the chair you were previously sitting on and make your way towards him, not thinking twice before sitting down.

• he hugs your waist, something he hasn't done before.

• "we're just friends, right?" you look at him to confirm

• he shrugs, "prolly not."

• "then what are we?"

• "i decided you to be my fourth wife a long time ago."

𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂 | 𝗸. 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗶𝗿𝗼

warnings: possibly an implied fem! reader, tooth-rotting fluff, not proofread

synopsis: a songfic with the song "falling for u!" by peachy <3

wc: 1176

i was hanging with you and then i realized

you were out taking a stroll with tanjiro, the beautiful hues of the setting sun reflected on his face making him practically shine.

"woah," he stared in awe as the sun disappeared into the ocean. "it's so beautiful, isn't it?" he smiles at you.

"yeah, it is." you smile back.

something about his smile and his voice..it sent chills down your spine. it doesn't help that his eyes shine so bright they probably make the stars jealous. and his personality? why is so nice? why does it keep giving you butterflies every time?

i didn't think it was true

is it..? no, it can't be. tanjiro has been your friend for almost 2 years and that's all he is. just a friend. nothing more.

unless..?

you'll have to ask mitsuri about this.

i was surprised when i found i'd fallen for you

"you're in love, y/n!" mitsuri squealed.

in love? with tanjiro?

your eyes widen, "no, you're mistaken!"

she grins as if she was the one in love, "look at yourself, y/n! you're blushing."

"huh?" you bring your fingers to touch your cheeks. they're warm. really really warm. "oh..."

i didn't wanna believe my feelings for you

"tanjiro is nothing more than a friend. it seems that he's just a closer..friend than others." you cross your arms, firm in your statement.

"nothing more than a friend..yet."

"no, never."

"y/n, it's okay to admit your feelings for him. being in love is totally normal and, in fact, you're lucky you fell for a guy like tanjiro!"

"but i don't want to be in love."

"why not?"

i didn't wanna believe that i could lose you if i told you just how i felt

"because what if i tell him and he doesn't share the same feelings? it'd just make things awkward and ruin our friendship."

"but how do you know he'll reject you?"

"because-" you took a second to think about it.

she smiled, resting her head on the palm of her hand.

"well, because his top priority is to find a cure for nezuko. love would just get in the way and hinder his progress."

"that's where you're wrong, y/n. love isn't something you can control. you can't switch it on and off like a light switch. so he definitely can be in love with you while still having his priorities."

"but-"

"no more excuses, y/n. you're in love and you know you are!" she pat your head.

but i can't help it, i'm falling for you

as much as you hate to admit it, she's right. and as much as you don't want to be in love, you are.

"fine. maybe i do have a little crush on tanjiro."

"are you sure it's just a crush?" she chuckled.

your cheeks turned beet red, "yes, it definitely is just a crush!!"

"mhm, sure." she laughed.

and i can't quit it, 'cause i'm stuck on you

the next time you saw tanjiro, your cheeks turn red and you immediately walked the other way.

"oh, y/n!" he waved from afar.

you noticed him and did a full 180°.

"y/n, wait up!" he chased after you, still waving his hand to catch your attention.

he stops running when he realizes that you're speed walking away from him and just stands there complaining dumbfounded.

and it might be pathetic

you continued speed walking which gradually turned into full on sprinting away from him.

have you always had these feelings? you swore your heart never raced that fast at the sight of tanjiro.

and you might be skeptical

the next few times you saw him, the same thing happened. he tried to approach you in a setting where there was no possible way you'd run, but you still did.

again, he stood there dumbfounded wondering what's going on.

did he make you mad? what could he have possibly done that made you keep running away from him?

wait-

but i just want to be with you

you fully admitted and accepted that you do, indeed, like tanjiro. you came to mitsuri for advice so often, it was unusual for you not to, but you still never took any of it.

each time she just smiled and listened to your rants and your stories. she'd put in her words of advice and comments here and there, but it was mostly just you who was talking.

please tell me, boy, can you get a clue or come through?

"why won't he realize? should i be more obvious?"

"i'm sure he's already realized, y/n. you make it so painfully obvious."

"no i don't!"

"y/n, don't try to fight it. stuff like this happens with love."

you sigh.

'cause i just want to be with you

you wonder how you'd be as a couple. would he make a good boyfriend? would you make a good partner? mitsuri urged you to tell him because "the only way to find out is to make it come true."

you couldn't help but daydream about him every chance you got.

i'm scared of telling you how i feel

"y/n, you really should tell him. you've been avoiding him for 2 months!"

"but i'm scared.."

"i know you are, everyone is when they confess."

maybe its better if i just try to conceal the truth for me and for you

"i won't tell him." you firmly state.

"you have to."

"no i don't."

"well then you have to move on, but i doubt you'd be able to do that either." she shrugs.

"i hate how right you are." you sigh.

mitsuri set up a whole moment for you to confess. it was in a beautiful field of flowers at the time of sunset.

"you got this, y/n!" she encouraged before leaving to call tanjiro.

but i'm still stuck on you

tanjiro arrived after what felt like eternity. "y/n?" he tilted his head.

"mm.." its hard to form words when your heart is beating at 800mph.

"why have you been avoiding me for so long?" he asks.

"because...well, i realized that.." you take a deep breath, preparing yourself for rejection before continuing, "i realized that i like you, tanjiro."

his eyes widen, "huh?"

you nod in embarrassment

i, i, i'm still falling for you

his gaze softens, a wide smile appears on his face. "you should've told me earlier, y/n."

"huh?" you look up at his beautiful red eyes. the sun shone from right behind him, giving the illusion that he was glowing. well, it may not be an illusion. maybe he really is glowing.

"i've liked you for the longest time, too, y/n." he smiled brighter.

"wha-" you're cut off by him hugging you.

you could really get used to his embrace. he was warm and smelled so good. you hug him back. the sun now shone behind both of you, making you both look like you were glowing. which you really were.

a/n: second songfic! i think i'll make this into a series for the hashira men + kamaboko trio

𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 | 𝗸. 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗸𝘂

warnings: i wrote this with an intended fem! reader but im pretty sure it can be gn! reader since i didn't mention pronouns (if im not mistaken)!! kinda angsty??

synopsis: a songfic w the song "still with you" by jungkook

wc: 565

kyojuro rengoku x reader

if i don't have this, i might just fall apart

you've been in love with rengoku for as long as you can remember, but only recently did you two start dating.

he'd gone out on a mission, a rather long one it seems. you're worried for him. you know he's strong but the little voice inside your heart just won't stop panicking. you don't know what you'd do without him. if you don't have him, you might just fall apart.

we laugh together,

your mind flashes back to a memory earlier this week: rengoku and you laughing together.

you were asleep even at 12 p.m. that day, with no plans of waking up anytime soon.

rengoku entered the room, looking at your sleeping figure and then the time. he approached you and started tickling you in order to wake you up.

it worked, you woke up a laughing mess. in your attempt to fight away from the tickles, you fell off the bed. luckily, the bed wasn't that high and there was a soft rug underneath that eased your fall.

rengoku and you stayed silent for a bit before you broke into laughter, rengoku joining you.

this was a moment you didn't want to end.

we cry together,

you remember the time rengoku told you his entire life story. it was hard for him to speak about some parts of his life, like the death of his mother and the change in his father. it caused him to tear up, although he tried his best not to cry.

you, on the other hand, were a sobbing mess. you felt bad that you couldn't have been there for him and all you could do was just hug him. he'd gone through so much, he deserves a break and lots of love. and you were sure to give that to him.

these simple feelings were everything i had.

you remember every moment with rengoku being a precious one. all that laughter and all those tears, it all only strengthened your bond.

you've always been around him so being so far away from him for so long was unusual. you felt a little empty without him. honestly, you'd forgotten how you even lived without him by your side.

when will it be?

you spent the whole night pacing back and forth between your room. when will he come back? you couldn't wait to see him at the door and just throw yourself onto him like a koala.

if i see you again, i will look into your eyes,

finally, when morning had already come and the sun was shining bright, you heard a knock on your estate.

it's him!

you quickly fling open the door, seeing the love of your life on the other side. you saw the injuries he suffered, and you also saw the bright smile still plastered on his face even after going through so much.

and say, "i missed you."

you couldn't hold back the tears that welled up in your eyes. rengoku gave you a soft smile and just wiped away your tears.

you hugged him so hard and had no plans of letting go. you cried and cried into his chest, "i missed you! i missed you so much! you have no idea!" you hugged him tighter.

he rested his hand on your head, "i know, my love, i know." he smiled.

a/n: should i write more songfics? i have some ideas for the hashira + the trio! tell me if you'd wanna see that!

𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄?

childe x reader.

warnings: traveler reader. reader doesn't have to find a twin lol. reader is not lumine/aether.

1954 words

as you and paimon, a companion you met on your journey, approached the exuvia, you hear a voice from behind.

"you've already fulfilled your task as guides, so why do you still linger here? haven't you already seen enough trouble for today?" the voice interrogates you

"huh? who's there?" paimon questions

the voice sighs in response, "if you were fatui, i imagine that you would receive a generous reward from the tsaritsa herself."

it pauses before continuing again, "but now, you're nothing but dross — and you're in my way."

"looks like i was just in time then." you say

childe scoffs, "hah! although i'm deeply grateful to you that i was able to effortlessly find this secret location...don't you think that trying to stop me now would just be wasted effort? stopping the mora mines, hiding away the exuvia..." he begins to laugh, "the qixing are really pulling out all the stops this time...!"

paimon inquires, "so you've been planning to take the gnosis from the exuvia all along?!"

he scoffs again, "as one of the eleven fatui harbingers, it's my duty to see the will of the tsaritsa fulfilled. she will get that what she desires."

"i'm afraid i can't let you do that." you speak softly, a smile plastered on your face.

he mocks, "hah! i'm not asking for your blessing, and there's nothing you can do to stop me anyway-"

you cut him off, "oh? shall we test that theory?"

"...the time for discussion and diplomacy has already passed. i mean, if it were up to me, i would have skipped that stage to begin with... but i'm willing to do as the tsaritsa deems fit."

"either way — we now come to my favorite part. a simple pleasure, and one that i am oh-so-delighted to be sharing with you-"

you cut him off again, "y'know, when you say it like that, it sounds like you're talking about something else, no?"

you could see him getting annoyed by you cutting him off.

ignoring your previous remark, he continues, frustration in his voice, "...the battle."

paimon furrows her eyebrows, "battle?" she asks before changing her expression to an irritated one, "so you're the type that goes looking for trouble, huh?"

childe laughs, "you could say that."

"when signora offended the deities outside the cathedral in mondstadt, she swiftly left the scene once her mission was accomplished. instead of confronting you directly, she decided to rely on the snow and ice to make her escape. she wouldn't want the knights to come running towards the sound of battle, now, would she? when she faces a worthy opponent, she will prioritize her mission, weigh the outcomes, and consider the consequences of her actions...but for me, the greatest pleasure of being a harbinger lies in crossing blades with strong opponents."

"we won't let what happened in mondstadt ever happen again!" paimon threatened.

"oh? so you intend to fight me? good." childe mocked you and paimon. "i won't kill you, traveler. i'll just play along — to feel the thrill of battle!"

he pauses, "besides, you could never defeat me. not even in your wildest dreams. but hey, try to relish the fight anyway. because if you ask me...without that, what else is ther-"

you cut the man off again, "what if my 'wildest dreams' aren't about defeating you?"

"that's besides the point. what i'm trying to say is that i can defeat you with ease." he brags.

"you seriously believe you can defeat me? just how delusional are you?" you laugh at him.

he laughs, "fighting talk, i love it! now let's see you live up to it." he grins.

you tell paimon to wait outside.

now, the battle had begun.

"this chance is hard to come by, so show me all you've got. so very few get a chance to square off with a fatui harbinger.

"no can do, my friend! if i do, you'll be on your knees begging for mercy."

"oh?" he laughs, "you're pretty confident. i can't wait to see all your confidence go down the drain once i'm done. so come now, amuse me. and don't you dare disappoint."

"you'll have to be more specific, pretty boy. those words can mean lots of things. what do you say i show you all the meanings?"

you could see him get distracted by your words.

distracted enough for you to land a hit.

he's on the floor now. you're standing above him.

"i guess i should take you more seriously..." he stuttered.

"remind me of your words again? weren't you saying you'd defeat me with ease? and now you're on the floor. under me."

your words struck him like lightning, causing him to stutter again. he forced out a chuckle, "still confident, huh? may i remind you...the fight's not over yet.."

"if it isn't over, then come on. stand up. you say it's not over, yet you won't move a muscle. not even try to get back up. if i didn't know any better, i'd say that you have accepted your defeat."

encouraged by you, he got up.

"no wonder signora was so wary of you. you really are something."

he's electro now.

"well, that just means i can go all out! brace yourself, this is about to get tough! now, show me what you can do against the might of a harbinger!"

there's the cockiness again.

you roll your eyes, "you know, you're really irritating with your harbinger pride."

the battle continues.

"hah! you've got some skills."

"what type of skills are we talking about?"

a few minutes later, he says,

"not bad. your swordsmanship is quite impressive."

"i know."

"but, thats about as far as you'll get."

he charged towards you, and you used your elemental attacks. both anemo and geo.

his weapon had struck the floor, causing you to wonder where he went. you looked behind you, to the exuvia and saw the ginger again.

"didn't think you had that card hidden up your sleeve."

"i see, you were just playing me to get to the exuvia. i'll be honest, i do feel a little betrayed."

"oh, quiet down. stop acting like some wide-eyed recruit. you've seen this world, you of all people should know. this should've been expected!" he charged at the exuvia.

"well then, i'll be taking morax's gnosis now!- huh?" he opens his fist to find nothing in it.

he laughs, "i see. well this is most unexpected. you...you beat me to it didn't you?!" he was enraged. his earlier remark about him not wanting to kill you seemed false now.

his voice had nothing but anger within it. it truly sent chills down your spine.

he transformed into the twelve foot monster.

"not bad. but this is going to cost you!"

nothing but pure anger.

his weapon, which was previously lying on the floor was now charging onto the floor, causing big purple lightning bolts of appear. the floor cracked into a million pieces. if even the floor couldn't have been spared, what about you? he probably hated you more than anything now. you suddenly regret everything you've said to him. you're not leaving this place alive.

the final part of the battle had begun.

childe is enraged. absolutely enraged. nothing could possibly stop him from killing you.

"you got to the gnosis ahead of me, didn't you?! did you move faster? or...did you leak the information regarding the golden house to me on purpose? no matter. hand the gnosis over. now. don't make me take it from you."

if you weren't so terrified right now, you would've said something like "and what if i don't?" or "how would you take it from me? share your methods." instead you said

"i..i didn't take it!"

you were trying your best to land hits on the 12 foot giant.

about 20 minutes of helpless fighting, childe returned to his normal state. he was panting.

you'd feel much more comfortable saying one of your usual remarks now.

"mgh, well then... time to cool off. it seems the burden of.. the foul legacy transformation was too great for my body. i lacked the opportunity to think this through.. and now that i consider the matter more carefully, you never had any chance of beating me to the gnosis. you had no connection to the gnosis, no matter where it had been taken."

"that's what i told you! i didn't take it!"

"your ability today far surpasses that of signora's initial assessment of you in mondstadt. tell me, how could that be?"

"a magician never tells their secret." you shrug

"if that is a secret you wish to keep, i guess i'll just have to curb my curiosity."

"mhm."

"this battle has already left me satisfied. anyone who strives as i do to grow stronger shall be called a friend, even if our friendship can only be shown in battle against one another."

"if you want, we could always be more than friends. trust me, it'll leave you more satisfied than any battle ever could." you winked.

"i.. have to go now.. given that the gnosis wasn't taken by anyone, then we must look once again to the beginning. perhaps it was never in the exuvia to begin with. in fact, it might be that the exuvia was just a diversion of sorts."

"wait so mean that the corpse was fake?"

"yes, it appears so. interesting to say the least... it seems that the guardian deity of the capital of commerce is also well-versed in little maneuvers beyond the boundaries of contracts. as such, we must now look to our backup plan."

"backup plan?"

"i had hoped it would never come to this. i absolutely detest working with those who are weaker than i. the truth is, the world belongs to those of us who desire to become strong. i seldom willingly mingle with any dull and boring weaklings who think otherwise. unfortunately, we cannot be picky about our methods as fatui harbingers. children must all learn to eat their vegetables sometime."

"so what're you gonna do?"

"i will awaken the god that lies beneath guyun stone forest."

"a god?!"

"osial, overlord of the vortex, who was defeated by morax, the geo archon in the archon war, and who remained pinned beneath the waves by the geo archon's stone spears ever since. if such an ancient god were to be unleashed upon liyue harbor, defenseless without the protection of its deity... do you think the cunning rex lapis would just stand aloof and watch the ensuing destruction?"

"the archon war ended 2000 years ago how could an ancient god appear in a world overseen by the seven?"

"simple. i've already obtained the means to awaken it." sigils of permission were now orbiting around childe.

"sigils of permission! your little gang has been researching them! you've been trying to duplicate them!"

"indeed. the one that was given to you was just a by-product of our research. with the power of so many sigils of permission concentrated in one place, along with that which was bestowed upon me as a harbinger by our tsaritsa... breaking the subduing might of the geo archon's spears for a time should be no obstacle. using the power of ancient gods in such a situation fails to interest me and is largely against my principles. but knowing that such an action will not only force the geo archon to show its hand, but you as well... that makes matters more intriguing." he explained his whole plan to you.

"i shall leave now. and i have not forgotten your offer...i will consider it."

he left and so did you.
