Inosuke x Reader

Sleep

Guess what? TIME SKIP!~ (also, a little fluff because why not?)

I ran outside, finally managing to navigate my way out of the mansion. Seeing Tanjiro and Zenitsu I felt the worry drain out of my body. at least until I really looked at Zenitsu's face. 

"Zenitsu!" I shouted, running over to grab his face gently. "Y/n-chan" he said, voice muffled by the fat lip he can acquired. "What happened to you?" I asked, already digging through my pockets to see if I had anything to help. 

"I-IT WAS THAT STUPID BOAR!" Zenitsu exclaimed, pointing. I looked over to see Inosuke, unconscious without his mask. Furrowing my brow, I ignored Zenitsu's further comments and made my way over to him. 

A nasty bruise could be seen on his forehead, but other than that he seemed fine. probably had a concussion though. Letting my fingers brush over the bruise I felt him tense, his eyes popping open to see me. 

Half expecting him to react violently, I was surprised when he just looked at me, curiously reaching out a hand toward my face. "y/n?" he asked silently. I couldn't help but smile. "yes, its me" I replied gently. 

"Y/N-CHAN, GET AWAY FROM IT!" Zenitsu screamed. I was dragged away from Inosuke and stuck behind Tanjiro. "Tanjiro, Zenitsu, he's a friend" I said, trying to get out of Zenitsu's grip

Inosuke growled, coming up and wrenching me away from zenitsu with a snarl.

"GAH, TANJIRO!" Zenitsu howled, hiding behind the other male. I myself was behind behind Inosuke, whom was yelling.

Reaching out, I placed my hand on Inosuke's shoulder, pulling him to face me. "Its fine, and you shouldnt waste your breath" 

Inosuke gave me a look, analyzing what I meant before nodding. "of course, the great Inosuke should waste his breath." he said with a triumphant huff and snide look at Zenitsu. I looked away from him, not enjoying the rude comments in the slightest. 

"y/n?" 

I flinched, turning to see Tanjiro next to me, watching as the two argued. "hm?" I questioned, plastering a light and breezy expression on my face. "Do you believe he's a good person?" He asked, gesturing to the boar. 

"of course, I don't normally assosiate myself with bad vibes" I replied absentmindedly. Tanjiro and I began walking, him grabbing Zenitsu's hoari while I just dragged Inosuke by his hand. They both fell silent, Zenitsu finally being released to walk along side Tanjiro. 

The three little kids followed along, talking to Tanjiro and Zenitsu, but I wasn't paying attention to what they were saying. Inosuke was still holding my hand, calm washing over him as he was silent. I couldn't help but to glance over at him, seeing that his aura was an array of pinkish balls.

Having to hold back my knowing smile, I tugged him along with a skip in my step. 

"How come that boar gets to hold hands with Y/n-chan?" Zenitsu complained. It had been a while since we had sent the little kids off on their way, now on our own way towards where ever Tanjiro's crow led us. 

I felt Inosuke's irritation, the grip on my hand tightening. "I can hold your hand to Zenitsu, I happen to have two" I said cheerfully with a small giggle. Zenitsu seemed to float over, an appeased look on his face as he went to take my outstretched hand. 

Inosuke slapped him away, angering Zenistu. They started another yelling match, one I zoned out of. Feeling tired I felt my eyes droop, and to please my mind I just let Inosuke lead me. He apparently noticed after I stumbled a few times, and turning his attention towards me.
