Inotan / Tanino Oneshots

Fuwa Fuwa

     After a long mission, anyone would need a break, especially with the occupation these four have taken up. Nezuko and Zenitsu wave goodbye as they walk away to their home leaving Inosuke and Tanjiro to leave to their own shared home. They have an awkward silence on the way back to the small home that they share.

     "So.." Tanjiro starts, trying to initiate a conversation. Inosuke immediately shuts Tanjiro down by glaring at him through his mask, silently making a point. He didn't want to talk. 

     During the mission, they were fighting low level demons, that's right, demons. It was a long, exhausting battle, filled with yelling from the boy with a boar head on and the boy with the hanafuda-like earrings. Zenitsu and Nezuko would usually get the job done mostly silently now, Zenitsu had now been doing it for years along the other three, and had lost a large percentage of his fear of the job. Tanjiro and Inosuke got in a heated discussion after the battle, the other two were startled that they even had the energy to speak. 

The way back after eating was completely silent. Leading up to this point.

Inosuke walks quickly in front of Tanjiro, a hint of dread filled in his walk. He slams the door open and runs inside, now even more startled, Tanjiro quickens his pace to go inside. He takes off his shoes flawlessly and speedwalks to Inosuke's bedroom, where he very clearly slammed the door. Tanjiro moves to knock on his door before he hears something startling. 

A soft sob could be heard from inside. Tanjiro's heart ached for a second, knowing that he was likely the cause of this.

'You need to calm down!' Zenitsu yelled; frightened. 'Well I'm so sorry that Inosuke keeps getting into arguments and dragging the entire team down!' Tanjiro spurts out in anger. There was a long silence before Tanjiro realizes what he said. Inosuke's eyes widen before he slides his mask back over his face, wrapping his arms around his torso, looking away. Zenitsu's gaze on Tanjiro sharpens, quickly hearing Inosuke. Tanjiro takes a second before just looking away, ashamed of what he said, but knowing Inosuke would likely just yell at him for apologizing.

     Tanjiro opened the door slowly, watching as Inosuke flinches and just looks away, wiping around where his eyes would be. "What do you want?" Inosuke says coldly. Tanjiro stays silent, walking forward. Inosuke slams his mask back down on his head and tries to run away, a little too slow. Tanjiro grabs his hand and look down at the floor. The blue haired boy's emerald pupils shake behind the comfort of his mask, confused and a bit hurt. Tanjiro's grip lessens and his free hand reaches around to Inosuke's back, pulling him in. Inosuke is left in shock, feeling warm and fluffy inside, trying to stay upset. Tanjiro leans his head forward. "I'm sorry." He says slowly. Inosuke's eyes widen, before he carefully takes off his mask and looks up at Tanjiro.

Tanjiro raises an eyebrow, wondering what kind of sneak attack this will be. Inosuke's emerald eyes soften, and his lips curl up in a sweet, short smile. Tanjiro's face turns red immediately and he falls over onto Inosuke's bed. "O-oh! Sorry Inosuke I-," Tanjiro's hands move awya from Inosuke as he starts to get up. "No.." Inosuke says softly, barely audible. Tanjiro hesitates. "Stay.. this feels nice.." Tanjiro's face heats up again at these words, and he feels his hands getting grabbed by the shorter male's. He lays back down and hugs Inosuke's slim waist softly, as the warm copper sky lowers over the horizon.
