(REQUESTS CLOSED) Kimetsu no Yaiba Scenarios

Trying to Hide a Serious Injury From You

REQUESTED BY: Musicstyle16

A/N: Even though this is incredibly close to "If They Got Hurt", I'm choosing to do it anyway considering it's been in my request list forever. Consider this a part 2 to you trying to hide an injury from them if you want.

Tanjiro:

Your victory over the latest demon was short-lived. As you hugged Zenitsu and Nezuko in relief, your boyfriend staggered over to a tree, panting heavily.

"Tanjiro, hey, what's wrong?" You frowned, making your way over.

"It's-- nothing," he gave you a weak smile. "Just a little... tired."

You raised a brow at him, wrapping an arm around his back - and when he winced, you smelled blood.

"What the hell--?" You patted his back, and when your hand came away sticky, you exclaimed, "Tanjiro! You're bleeding!"

Nezuko made a noise of alarm and raced over to his side. Slicing her own arm with her nails, she winced, bleeding over his wound.

"Really, I'm-- I'm alright," he protested, right as dizziness set in and Nezuko's blood art technique caught his entire back aflame.

In just seconds, his wound was gone - and his eyelashes fluttered. He looked sheepish as he looked up at the two of you, matching irritated glares on your faces.

"Don't you ever try to do that again," you ordered in a deadpan. Next to you, his sister firmly nodded her agreement.

Nezuko:

Not many injuries last with her, given her quicker healing and her penchant for sleeping - but after one particularly bad fight, on the way back to the inn she collapsed against you with a muffled grunt of pain. Her pink dress was rapidly turning red around her stomach, and when you tried to see what was bleeding, you found a large gash that looked worryingly deep.

Zenitsu freaked out, Tanjiro raced for the first-aid kit you'd packed, and together you tried to treat it.

Luckily, after sleeping through the next day, the gash healed itself - but you scolded her for being reckless and she tried to comfort you, upset to see you upset.

Zenitsu:

Your chest heaving for breath, you collapsed against a tree when you heard Inosuke's triumphant holler. That battle had run long and you felt like your legs were going to fall off, but the important part was that it was over.

You found your boyfriend several feet away, still collapsed in the dirt, back shaking with how hard he was trying to catch his own breath. Even after you called out to him, it took him a little bit to look up at you, half-lidded eyes heavy with exhaustion.

"We won," you wheezed with a smile.

"Yeah," he agreed faintly. "Yeah, we... we won."

When his eyelids fluttered shut and he slumped over, the rest of your group came running at your shriek.

Tanjiro checked him over, turning him onto his back, and when he reassured you that he had just fainted, you noticed the creeping crimson stain across the front of his uniform. Nezuko seemed to notice it too, because she immediately shoved his shirt up enough to reveal a painful, sizeable gash, sliced her nails across her arm, and dribbled her blood across his clammy skin.

One Blood Art Technique later, you felt well enough to hoist him onto your back and carry him back to the Wisteria Inn you'd stayed at the previous night.
