My Storm

This is a second part to "For Me", again if anything listed makes you uncomfortable don't read/ interact!

I kinda let myself get too deep into this, (that's what she said lol) so Zenitsu's is significantly longer than Tanji's (......).

TW:kidnapping, electrocution, obsessive behavior, stalking, breaking and entering, claustrophobia (?), slight cursing, believe that's it

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course it happened to you. It's not like you already had a lot to deal with, the piles of paperwork, bills, and your crumbling social life, losing power in your apartment is exactly what you needed. A perfect way to start your night and, even better, it's snowing outside which means, freezing cold inside.

You're huddled under all the blankets you can find on your couch, trying to finish up your paperwork. Your hands hurt from the cold, they're stiff and pale, but you push through. You have a deadline after all.

By the time you hit the halfway point you can hardly feel your fingers, you're too cold. Teeth chattering, body shivering, hands and feet aching, but you keep writing away.

Like the hard worker you are.

A sudden knock at your door has you jumping, heart thumping in your chest. You slowly make your way to the door, looking through the small peep-hole, having to stand on your tiptoes just to reach. Bright yellow hair fills your view at first before you see the young man from next door, Zenitsu. He's handsome, smart, and always checks up on you.

Opening the door and poking your head out from under the blankets you speak quietly through your chattering teeth, “Y-yes?” The blonde only smiles sweetly at you, “Hello, did your power go out too?” Nodding you open the door a bit more, “It did actually, I thought I was the only one.”

Shaking his head he only chuckles quietly once he sees just how freezing you are, “I got my power to work, if you’d like you can go into my apartment and I can fix yours.”

Please.

Please.

Please.

He can see your hesitation, but he doesn’t blame you. You hardly know him, only small conversations in the mornings when you both leave the apartment at the same time. Simple talks, nothing too deep or meaningful. You don’t know him.

But I know you.

"It won't take long, I know my way around wires." He speaks softly and, feeling reassured you slowly nod, "If it's not too much trouble." He shakes his head, a bit too fast, "No trouble at all." He opens his apartment door and leads you inside.

Warmth. Finally, you felt the heat you had been craving blasting from the vents in the apartment. As he leads you to the couch you take in your surroundings. It's neat, clean, but the hallway looks smaller than yours. Shrugging it off you make yourself comfortable on the soft couch.

Zenitsu drapes one of his blankets over you and you're enveloped in his scent. Citrus? You huddle into the blanket and get a better whiff of it. Lemons? Pies? Lemon pie? It's relaxing in a weird sense. Being in your neighbors apartment, the citrusy scent bringing you comfort, freezing but slowly thawing out.

My couch.

My blanket.

My apartment.

My Y/N.

Zenitsu excuses himself and heads back to your apartment as you start working again, feeling warm at last. As promised, it doesn't take long until Zenitsu is taking you back to you apartment, "I got it to work, it was just a faulty wire that had come loose."

Smiling you nod and thank him for the nth time, "Thank you so much, again. I doubt I would've been able to sleep in that." Chuckling, he nods, "You're welcome, if you need anything I'm right next door. You're welcome anytime."

Now you sit at your desk, a little past your bedtime, but still working. The glow of your computer illuminating your features.

Like a goddess.

The warning box for low battery pops onto your screen and you sigh as you reach for the chord, "Damn low battery." You mutter as you plug the computer then reach down to plug it into the outlet.

Close.

So close.

Just a little more.

Pushing the plug into the outlet you feel the shock from it, a ZAP! coming from it. Pulling your hand back quickly your heart beats wildly, breathing heavily as you look at the plug then at your hand.

Finally.

A hand clamps over your mouth and you get pulled from your seat, your laptop falling to the floor. An arm wraps around your waist, pinning your arms against your sides before you're dragged out of your room and to the front door.

Thrashing and trying to scream, you knock over everything you can, desperate to make noise. To wake someone up. Anyone. No one comes, no one even bangs on the wall like they usually would. Just your luck.

Tears form in your eyes as you thrash, your attempts futile as whoever is holding you drags you easily out the door and down the hall. A door opens and you're dragged inside an apartment that smells vaguely familiar.

The hand clamped over your mouth moves up a bit and pinches your nose and you thrash more, finding it increasingly difficult to breathe. The arm around your waist only tightens slightly and you can't move, your vision becoming spotty and blurry as your struggles slowly come to a stop and you black out.

You wake up in the smallest room you've been in, basic and white. No windows, a single lamp by the bed you were laid in. One air vent big enough for someone to fit in above you, where golden brown eyes stared down at you.

"You're awake! Finally!" A rope falls from the vent and a figure slowly slides down it before rushing to your bedside happily, "I was worried I took it a bit too far. I'm glad I didn't though!" You're mortified, frozen as you take in the figure in front of you.

Zenitsu smiles brightly at you, like the sun, bouncing slightly on his heels before he sits at the edge of your bed and cups your face, "You're so pretty! You always are, even when you take off your makeup in the bathroom. And when you're sick! So cute!" He babbles on but you can only stare.

He's been in your apartment before? You have a security system though. The rope sways slightly and you understand everything. The vents. You have so many in your damn apartment, never paying attention to them, just going about your day.

Warm hands running across your cheeks then down your neck bring you back, "I didn't want it to come down to this, but it got too difficult. I just wanted you to myself! You can understand that, can't you?!" He holds both your hands and looks at you, eyes full of love and hope.

"You just complete me, in ways no one has. My heart just beats so fast when I'm with you. See?!" He places one of your hands on his chest, over his heart. It thumps wildly and his face flushes, "I-I just wanted you, so badly. I couldn't help myself anymore. My friends say I'm hopeless, just a romantic at heart. And they're not wrong!"

His face flushes more but you can see the hearts in his eyes as he looks at you in adoration, "It's like there's a fire in me that nothing can put out. And you're like a flood, no that's not right. A-a storm! That's it."

"A beautiful, wonderful storm. That goes over raging fires, that puts out even the biggest wildfires." He leans his forehead on to yours and the whimper that escapes you as you realize your fate makes his eyes darken. "A storm that calms me, a storm that I now have." He presses his lips to yours hungrily, like a man starved. "A storm that I've made my own."

"My storm."

Tanjiro's Secret

TanjiroxPregnant!Fem!Reader

Tw: reader is pregnant, small smut, infertility is mentioned, think that's it.

A/N: I've actually had this for a while, I just wasn't ready to post it yet. However, I haven't posted in a few days. So, this is for all my humble people. Enjoy! :)

Tanjiro's Secret

Tanjiro’s confession made your heart stop, eyes wide, as you stare at him. His small, clearly nervous, smile left butterflies fluttering in your stomach. It always did, he knew the effect he had on you and he often used it to his advantage.

Whether it was to strike up a conversation or to get you in bed, he knew what worked and what didn’t. Especially when it came to you, he knew you better than he knew anyone else, Inosuke and Zenitsu included. No one could compare to his darling, his ‘cherry blossom’ as he called you.

You knew the countless night you had spent together, round after round of his cum being pumped into you, would soon lead to something bigger. And it did, the small bump of your stomach was proof enough. You had prepared an entire speech, barely getting sleep the previous night, and now you couldn’t even remember what day it was.

Monday perhaps? No, if it was Monday Tanjiro would have been heading home already, to his wi-

“Y/n? Are you alright?” Tanjiro’s soft, concerned voice brought you out of your thoughts, and you felt his warm hand rest upon your shoulder. The warm feeling spreading across both your face and chest was uninvited but not unwelcome, Tanjiro’s smile made your embarrassment ease a bit and you suddenly remembered what you had been speaking about previously.

Tanjiro had confessed to you, and as you placed a hand on your belly, which was only going to grow in the next nine months, you realized you didn’t have anything to lose. But an image of Tanjiro flashed across your mind, an image of him and his little wife Kanao, cursed with infertility but smiling at him nonetheless, made you pause and reconsider.

Maybe you should just tell him you were expecting, lock his confession away in the deepest part of your mind and continue on with your life. That’s why he brought you into his home in the first place, to get what he couldn’t get from his wife. 

A family.

Roommates

ErenxFem!Reader

A/N: I don't know much about Eren so I'm probably not even writing his character correctly, just a heads-up. And because I am lazy and cannot complete anything in one sitting this will be in parts.

Roommates

TW: cursing, yelling, mentions of drinking, sex, and smoking, Eren's a hoe

Ten minutes.

That's all you get. The peaceful, quiet atmosphere comes to a stop after those ten minutes. You couldn't even get through brushing your teeth before you heard muffled yelling through the walls of your rental unit.

"You're such an asshole, Jeager!" A muffled chuckle, "Yeah, I know." A few curse words from the unlucky girl who fell for your jackass roommate during the night, quiet rebuttals from said jackass roommate. You spit out the toothpaste remnants and rinse your mouth as a door flings open and slams shut.

A fuming girl your age notices you and points a finger at you, "I don't know how you live with him! You must have so much damn patience!" With that she storms out and slams the door yet again, leaving you in silence once again.

You finish your bathroom routine and grab a shirt from the clean hamper before throwing it on and walking into your kitchen. Grabbing what you can find from your half-empty refrigerator you make your breakfast, if you can even call it that, and sit at the island. "That's fucking disgusting."

Looking up from your plate, you see your six foot roommate standing at the other end of the island. Dull green eyes looking back and forth between you and your plate, long hair tied back loosely with what you're positive is your hair tie. "It's food, your lazy ass hasn't gone grocery shopping yet." You reply as you scroll through your phone.

Your feed is filled with pictures and videos of the party last night, most of them being people drinking, smoking, or making out. Seeing a shadow looming over your form, you tilt your head back to look at the man standing behind you. "That's a good picture of me."

He points to your phone and when you look at it you see him on a couch, two girls on either side of him and one in his lap. His head is thrown back, smoke all around him, pupils blown out as the girl in his lap inhales whatever he exhales.

Making a face, you swipe out from the app and shut off your phone, "You're such a man whore, Eren." You get up and walk to the sink, throwing away what you didn't finish and washing your plate. He chuckles quietly, "I'm just having fun, something you need more of."

He strides over to you, caging you in his tall frame, "There's another party tonight. You should come with me." Scoffing you dry your hands, "What? So you can use me as eye candy then leave me in a corner to go find some other girls to fool around with? Thanks but no."

Pushing past him you clean up the counter until you feel his hands on your waist, tugging you until your back is pressed up against his strong chest. "Aww come on, no need to be such a snob. I've been your roommate for two years and not once have I seen you go a party or do anything fun."

Wiggling free from his grasp you look up at him, arms crossed over your chest which you see him glance at, "If I go to your stupid party, will you shut up?" His lips quirk up at the end to form a small smirk, "Sure, I'll make sure you have a great time." Rolling your eyes you turn away and grab your phone, "I'm not sleeping with you, Eren."

He only holds up his hands in surrender, "Fine, a great time without the sex." You shake your head in annoyance as you walk past him, "You gonna keep my shirt?" You sigh and stuff your phone in your pocket, "You gonna bitch about everything?" You tug the shirt off and toss it at him before walking to your room, failing to see Eren's smirk grow as he watches you.

To say he's excited for night to come would be an understatement.

Hey can I request about husband tanjiro! x wife reader! Smut about when they getting married and they're alone so they doing it gently but Over time they getting addicted to sex and doing it shamelessly at their bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and everything!!! I'm so sorry to bother you but u can ignore this if you want😊😊 BTW eng is not my first language! so my grammar might a bit messy here😅😅

A/N: I understood this perfectly hun, this took me much longer than expected and I apologize for that. I did get carried away at some point 😅, but I kinda like the way it turned out. AND it’s Tanji’s birthday!! The soft sunshine boi 🥹. So, enjoy!

Addiction

Husband!TanjiroxFem!Wife!Reader

TW: smut, fluff (sprinkled throughout but heavy at the end), Tanjiro has a breeding kink (obviously), pet names (love, darling, honey), slight exhibitionism (garden sex?), believe that’s it, lmk if I missed anything!

Your wedding couldn’t have been more perfect. You had everything you wanted, all your friends and family were there, wishing you both the best. You and Tanjiro couldn’t have been more happier.

Tanjiro hadn’t let go of your hand at all throughout the night, pressing kisses to the back of it or rubbing his thumb across your knuckles. Soothing you, making you feel calm and, most of all, loved.

Stepping through the doorway of your new shared home you smile as Tanjiro presses a gentle kiss to your temple. His strong arms wrap around your waist, soft kisses being pressed to your cheeks, nose, forehead, everywhere.

Smiling when he hears you giggle softly, Tanjiro speaks, “I love you.” You’re absolutely beautiful, stunning, gorgeous, but most of all: you're his. His wife, his love, his darling, his honey. All his.

Kisses are still being pressed to your face, wherever he can get, he's kissing. A warm feeling spreads across your chest and your cheeks flush when he presses a loving kiss to your nose, embarrassed by the affection, but loving it nonetheless.

He chuckles at your expression, finding it absolutely adorable how embarrassed you get. Holding you tightly in his arms, in a way that has you relaxing and leaning into him, he sways slowly. Cradling your head to his toned chest, you hear his heartbeat. Slow steady and strong.

Beating, beating, beating. For you, and you alone.

And it always will.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soft moans bounce off the bedroom walls, the steady thud of the headboard against the wall, the soft pants and grunts. Echoing in the room, engraving themselves into the walls. The smell of sex drives Tanjiro mad and the view makes him even madder.

You’re spread out on the bed in front of him, legs pushed up to your chest, strong calloused hands holding them in place. Soft gentle thrusts paired with soft gentle kisses along your neck and collarbone. Light marks pepper across your skin, decorating your body.

Tanjiro’s thrusts are calculated, hitting that spot in you that has you both moaning loudly. Your grip on the sheets is deathly as Tanjiro bring you closer and closer to the sweet heavenly release.

Your moans and whimpers are absolute music to his ears, and his groans and soft moans are music to yours. The thudding of your bed against the wall increases and you feel the coil in your tummy become too unbearable. And Tanjiro knows, he feels how you tighten up around him.

“Go on honey, I got you.” His soft voice coos out sweet nothings as your body trembles, your release coating your thighs and his pelvis. You cum for the nth time, and Tanjiro feels his release soon approaching.

Once again, the thuds against the wall quicken and your legs are pressed firmly to your chest. Beads of sweat run down your husbands temple as his jaw clenches. His thighs flex every time he thrusts into you, the veins in his forearms more prominent because of his grip on your legs.

His ruby eyes find yours and he finds his orgasm getting even closer. You’re absolutely gorgeous, eyes blown wide, lust and tear filled orbs gazing up at him. Your hair is splayed out all over your pillow, plush lips bruised and puffy from the many kisses that led you both here.

Tanjiro reaches down and starts rubbing tight little circles on your clit that has you spasming around his cock and squirming under him. More tears fall from your eyes from the overstimulation but he only finds it endearing.

Your pretty little body, taking so much and you’re hardly complaining. You’re just so good to him and you always have been. Such goodness deserves a reward, so a reward he gives you. “I-I know honey. Too sensitive right?” You nod, whimpers and moans still falling freely from your plush lips.

“Don’t worry honey, I’m gonna take care of you. Ok? I promise, but you’re doing such a good job. You’re gonna get what you want, like I promised earlier.” A moan falls from his lips as you clench around him, his words only bringing you into pure ecstasy as well.

And soon enough you both topple over the edge and into the heavenly feeling. Ropes of his hot cum paint your walls white, claiming you, marking you as his. He pumps everything back into you slowly, whatever falls out only gets pushed deeper into your womb.

Panting, sweating, and trembling you lay there utterly exhausted, but Tanjiro smiles softly at you. Pressing gentle kisses all over your face, cooing soft praises to you as he takes you to the bathroom and cleans you up.

Washing and massaging your head, scrubbing your soft body gently, kissing any marks he left on you. Still cooing softly to you, you find yourself relaxing in his affection. Showering you with his love, you wrap your arms around his torso and rest your head against his toned chest.

Giggling when you hear his heart beating wildly, his face is flushed but he’s smiling at you. You make his heart beat, you are the sole reason he smiles. Of course he has friends and Nezuko, but the smiles he gives you are different than the ones he gives them.

His mind craves you, his body aches for you, his soul yearns for your touch. And yours does the same for him, it always will.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon those soft, bashful touches get braver, more daring than the last. And you find yourself in situations you hardly seem to plan for.

Like now, you’re bent over the counter, your hands gripping the edge for dear life as your husbands cock drills into you from behind. His hands grip your hips and pull you back halfway to meet his powerful thrusts.

Or a few days before, when your relaxing shower turned into over an hour long ‘massage’. Tanjiro’s cock buried in your warm mouth, your soft small hands stroking what didn’t fit, watching your husband throw his head back, his hands softly gripping your hair. Of course he repaid you, by spending over another hour in between your legs.

His head buried between your plush thighs, soft locks tickling the inside of them, but his tongue working wonders on your clit. Sucking, licking, gently nibbling, working you towards your climax, then starting up again after, his hips rutting into the mattress, trying to find some form of comfort in it.

Even out in your garden, behind the big tree in the middle of it. Your back pinned against the tree with Tanjiro’s arms hooked behind your knees, his hips rutting up into your soft walls he can’t seem to get enough of. Said soft walls clenching around him, not seeming to get enough of his cock, no matter how many times you two have sex.

Of course, there’s much more to your marriage than that. The late nights you both spend in each other arms, in your shared bed. Speaking quietly to each other about the day, something careless Inosuke did. Some poor girl getting hassled by Zenitsu for her hand in marriage.

Chores you did around the house, grocery shopping with Nezuko, or drinking tea alone in your garden, a book in your hand. It’s moments like these that make you the happiest. Calm and carefree, gentle kisses shared through the night.

Arms wrapped tightly around each other, sleeping soundly. Giggles and more kisses shared in the morning when you both don’t want to get out of bed yet. Or during breakfast, Tanjiro’s arms wrapped around you from behind, watching excitedly as you cook.

You both are addicted each other, one cannot live without the other. Tanjiro has found his peace in you, and you’ve found yours. Like a drug nothing else will cure, no matter what happens. Loving each other is easy and you both know you wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Dreaming of You

TanjiroxFem!Reader

Tw: angst, implications of death, spoilers for Mugen Train (?), think that's all

Dreaming Of You

Shigeru.

Hanako.

They're right there. Standing in front of him.

Alive.

A choked sob comes from the redhead as he stumbles towards them, snow falling all around him. He launches himself towards them and holds them tightly against his chest, the snow soaking through their clothes.

Both children freeze in their brother's arms, not knowing what to do or what caused their brother to cry. "Nii-chan? What's wrong?" Hanako looks at her older brother with wide eyes, full of concern.

Full of life.

Once his tears are dry, Tanjiro pulls away to look at his sibling's faces. He cups each of their cheeks and looks at them, not believing that they're real. Looking into their eyes with his ruby red ones, rubbing their cheeks with his thumb.

They smile and gently hold his wrists with their small hands and Tanjiro feels his heart clench as they touch him, finally certain that they're real. Finally certain that they're right there with him, breathing in his arms.

Tugging on his sleeve, Shigeru speaks up, "Come on Nii-chan, let's go inside. It's cold out here."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Here you go, Tanjiro. I made your favorite tonight." Kie places a bowl in front of the redhead before she serves the rest of her children and sits down herself. There's an extra plate right next to Tanjiro but nobody sits there, and he becomes confused.

Then, he smells the scent he never though he'd get to smell again.

You.

"Mrs. Kamado, have you seen-oh!" Tanjiro is on you in an instant, holding you tightly against his broad chest, burying his face into the crook of your neck, breathing in the scent he thought he had lost.

Breathing in you.

Broken sobs fill your ears as Tanjiro trembles in your arms, confusion and worry filling you up as you hold him tightly against you. "Honey, what's wrong?" Shaking his head, Tanjiro pulls away to look at you, “Nothing, nothing’s wrong.”

He smiles at you, teary-eyed and his nose reddened from his cries, but you return the smile, your eyes shining brightly. And Tanjiro feels whole again, he feels again.

You all sit down and enjoy the meal Mrs. Kamado had prepared for everyone, Tanjiro holding onto your hand tightly as he basks in everyone's presence. They're here, he's here with them.

He's home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taking the buckets from their place by the door Tanjiro smiles at you as you take Rokuta by the hand and let him lead you towards the fire. Patting the heads of his younger siblings he heads down to the stream for the bath water.

The crunch crunch of his footsteps in the snow, the cold breeze that blows through the long flyaway strands of his hair and haori. The snow covered trees, now bare from their once vibrantly colored leaves.

Tanjiro smells the stream before he hears or sees it and his pace quickens. Eager to be home, in the comforting presence of his siblings. Home, in the pleasant feeling of his mother wiping his cheek from any stain he may have. Home, in your embrace and affection.

He fills the buckets quickly but carefully, making sure there is enough water for everyone. Sighing contentedly he reaches down to pick them up but he’s startled by his reflection. That’s not him, is it? It couldn’t possibly be.

A hand from the water reaches up and grabs Tanjiro’s arm, pulling him down into the cold depths. Two hands grip his shoulders and Tanjiro finds himself staring at his own face, “Wake up!” His current self looks at him with wide eyes, full of panic.

“You need to wake up! There’s a demon nearby! This is all a dream! You’re on the train! You need to WAKE UP!” A dream? That’s impossible, he’s already awake. Isn’t he? “You have to fight! Wake up and fight with all you have! Fight for Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Nezuko! Fight for Rengoku-san! Fight!”
