☁️Tanjiro+Inosuke+Zenitsu/Reader: Jealousy Part 1

Request for yumeire-san, Dragonloba, TodorokiKei, sleepychan7.

Description: Inosuke fights dirty. Zenitsu keeps stealing Tanjiro's one-liners.

I would've had to cut my favorite piece of dialogue to make this gender neutral. So you're a girl in this. But hey, I ignore pronouns all the time when I read fanfiction.

"What are you staring at? You got a problem with my face?!" Inosuke's snarl snapped you out of your trance. His big sea glass eyes and dense black lashes struck you as far too soft to belong to the barbaric boy who head-butts people for fun.

"Oh! Uh- no! I just didn't know you were so... pretty."

"Yeah. Pretty feral." Zenitsu mumbled under his breath with a pout. The envious brine tainting his tone was potent enough to salt a snail.

"EHHH? You and your fake hair got something to say to me?!"

"I told you already, it's natural!"

"I don't care what color it is! It won't stop me from tearing it out!" And with that the chase began. Tanjiro let out an exhausted sigh as the two capricious boys ran laps around the little square dinner table. "Stop running and fight me like a man!" This time Zenitsu abruptly ducked behind you, gripping onto the back of your yukata.

"F/N-chan, make him stop!"

"If you think I won't hit a girl to get to you, you're wrong, Monitsu!"

"Inosuke!" Tanjiro's voice rang harsh in the chaos.

"Don't you dare!" The blond shrieked in distaste, wrapping his arms around your neck in a vice-like protective manner. "Don't worry, F/N-chan. I won't let him hurt you." Despite Inosuke's threat he actually halted in place.

"I bet she can take a punch better than you, ya wussy sunflower!" The passionate edge in Inosuke's voice made Tanjiro stand up to intervene, but you already held up your hands.

"It's okay, Inosuke! He didn't mean it that way! He uh... was just trying to tell you how robust and skilled in the wilderness you are. Right, Zenitsu?" You shot him a significant glance over your shoulder and he nodded.

"Oh. Why didn't ya just say so?" The boy instantly plopped onto his butt and resumed ungracefully eating, dousing the fire of aggression faster than Tanjiro's elegant water swordsmanship.

"..." The remaining three of you exchanged glances over the abrupt mood change.

"...Brute." This time Zenitsu made sure to mutter his comment quiet enough for your ears only. His grip loosened and he instead hooked arms with you affectionately, dropping his head onto your shoulder and rubbing it with his cheek. "You're so charming, F/N-chan.~ You can tame even the wildest beasts with your musical voice, just like princesses in fairy tales." You bit back a snort, knowing the animal he was referring to was Inosuke. "You simply have to marry me."

"Enough of this, Zenitsu! She's not interested!" You were surprised at the ferocity that erupted out of Tanjiro, but you figured even he had a limit to his patience.

"This is none of your business, Tanjiro! So stay out of it!" The dark haired male's eye definitely twitched. Zenitsu's voice instantly turned back into melted sugar when he addressed you again. "You will marry me, won't you?" He batted his eyelashes in the most alluring way he could manage, his very best attempt to win you over.

"...Can you pay a dowry?"

"Eh? Oh, well, no... not right now. But I-"

"Then there's your answer." You shrugged and Tanjiro smirked. That was easily the most logical and unbiased refusal he'd ever heard in his life. Zenitsu must've felt the same, if the perplexed way he blinked at you was any indication.
