Opposites Attract (Tanjiro x male reader)

1

Tanjiro's pov:
I ran deep into the woods as fast as I could, I could hear Giyu swearing and yelling as he chased after me. But I kept running, if Giyu caught me I would surely be dead. I could feel him slowly catch up to me. Tears ran down my face, I then felt a strong force pull me back and cover my mouth. I shook in fear thinking about what Giyu was going to do to me, but then heard him yelling from afar.

"FINE FREEZE FOR ALL I CARE, I'LL KILL YOU WHEN YOU COME BACK!" Giyu yelled, wait . . . If that was Giyu then who was holding me?! That was the moment when I smelled it . . . I was so caught up with running away that I didn't realize that the person holding me had the same scent as Muzan. I struggled and squirmed, until I heard their voice.

"I'm sorry but I can't let you go till you calm down."

I froze up as I realized that this wasn't Muzan's voice, then as I took another smell, I realized that although it was faint he smelled the slightest bit human.

Nobody's pov:
The shadowy figure slowly released Tanjiro, just to turn him around and lift up his shirt. Tanjiro went wide eyed in fear, but instead of harming him, he took out a small canister from his pocket. When he opened it up, it seemed to be an ointment. He  rubbed the ointment lightly onto all the bruises and scars that Giyu had given Tanjiro.

"Unfortunately these bruises and scars are permanent, but this should help the pain go away." He spoke softly and slowly to Tanjiro in hopes of calming him down.

(If you've read up to here and you're like "what the shart??" Ermm, Tanjiro + Giyu = Abuse + forced nonos, btw I don't actually see Giyu like this he's one of my favorite characters, just trust the process type shi)

"A-are you a human or a demon?" Tanjiro muttered

" . . . Well I'm human but I was raised by demons . . . I'm guessing that you froze up because I smelled like Muzan? Just know that the only reason I do is because Muzan took me in as a child and raised me, so I've been around demons all my life."

"Now that I've explained, you need to rest. I can see that Giyu has fractured your rib. Unfortunately I don't have anything on me right now that can help, but if you come back tomorrow I'm sure that I will be able to heal it within a few days . . . Unless of course you would rather have Shinobu heal it . . ."

"H-how do you know so much about me. . . .wait . . . does that mean you know about Giyu too?! . . . and ..... the rumors?" Tanjiro muttered

".....yes.....I know everything, honestly why don't you tell anyone that he hurts you, and why don't you tell them that your family's dead?! Honestly if they're stupid enough to believe that you abuse your family then they're no Hashiras."

"I-i . . . " Tanjiro muttered

"Nevermind."

"But how did you know?!" Tanjiro blurted out.

"I'm an infiltrator, that's what I do."

"You're what?" Tanjiro mumbled

"Since I was raised by demons I protect them, I'm human so I'm used as a infiltrator for them."

"Oh, . . .alright" Tanjiro muttered still slightly confused.

As Tanjiro and him continued to talk Tanjiro slowly began warming up to him, they had talked for so long that before they knew it the sun was rising.

Tanjiro pov:
"Shit! The sun is rising! You'll burn!" I yelled in concern

"I'm thankful that your concerned about me but remember I'm a human" He said as he smiled.

"Oh! Right, I forgot. I should get going . . . That's right! I never got you name!" I said as I stood up

"I mean my birth parents never gave me a name.....and Muzan just called me "child" all my life . . ." The sunlight then shined onto both of them, allowing Tanjiro to see that the person that he had been talking to looked about his age, he had a fox mask that cover the top half of his face, and had short black hair.
