Modern Dating Series: Sanemi [Demon Slayer]

Sanemi Shinazugawa x Reader [Gender Neutral]   

C|TW: none   

   Hardworking man that's often neglected his social life in favor of providing for his little brother Genya. Sanemi has the same seven friends he made in college and that's about it, he never really cared to make anymore. The same goes for romantic relationships. Because his main focus is providing decent care to his little brother, Sanemi puts everything else on pause. Now he finds himself in a bit of a dilemma since he's reached financial stability but isn't quite able to find a date that'd suit him.   

   He's not familiar with flirting or how the dating world works due to denying himself romantic attraction until he was in the right place. That's why he has a higher chance of dating someone already in his life, whether it is through work or not. So long as you aren't his boss, Sanemi wouldn't mind seeing where things go. It's best if you're someone that isn't opposed to the idea of him having a child, considering he's raising his sixteen-year-old brother. Any comments about his brother would be taken seriously, don't joke that he gets in the way of your plans or hint that he's an inconvenience in any way. You will get cussed out in broad daylight speaking on his brother in an unpleasant manner.   

   Underneath his rough exterior Sanemi appreciates soft and tender moments. He doesn't want to go to crowded places surrounded by loud music and people. He'd like to do things like making pottery vases together and painting them or taking a cooking class and showing off his skills to you. Don't bother inviting him to a club or asking if he wants to go do shots together at a bar, he's not going to do it. Just go have your fun without him, he won't mind.   

   On his off days, he'd like to squeeze in dates that aren't in places that make it harder to speak. Unless there's a new movie you wanted to see and he is taking you to the theater. Otherwise, Sanemi prefers to have morning hikes or simple picnics in the park. He'd carry you most of the time if you hate the thought of walking around for ages though he'd say you're too spoiled, endearingly. He understands that there are some things you may dislike about the places he prefers so don't be afraid to tell Sanemi, you're supposed to be learning about each other after all. It's not like he's going to force you to only do what he wants, he'll gladly follow you to some museum or arcade. So long as it isn't similar to bars, clubs, or concerts.   

   With your permission, Sanemi sends gifts to your place of work. It's usually a beautiful bouquet, a box of treats, and a small meal. For the more pricey gifts, he'll wait for the chance to give them to you personally, wanting to clasp the necklace around you himself or help you snap the bracelet on. Don't get him wrong, his intentions aren't to show off at all. It's just easier to express his feelings through gift-giving, especially when the two of you aren't living in the same house and he isn't able to hold you often.
