You paced around the garden aimlessly, kicking the piles of wisteria flowers on the floor that your dumbass boyfriend had created after running into half the trees when he was 'cooling off' after the fight you had. Slumping against the trunk of a tree, you put your head in your arms, blinking tears away. "Y/n-san.. are you okay?" You spotted the red headed slayer peek around the corner of the tree you were leaning on, and you turned your head away.
"Get lost, Tanjiro-san!" You yelled, hoping it would distract him from the tears forming in your eyes and threatening to fall. He smiled warmly, walking closer and sitting next to you. "Inosuke-san doesn't mean it. He can be.. pig-headed sometimes but he really does care about you, Y/n-san! I could tell just now that he felt really bad.." Tanjiro's calm voice only seemed to frustrate you more, and you just looked away, not wanting to snap at his good will. You knew you were just as idiotic, and arrogant as Inosuke himself, but sometimes what Inosuke said in your fights really hit home.
"I don't feel like he's worth it anymore." The words left your mouth without you even realising, and Tanjiro bonked you on the head with his fist lightly. "Silly girl, just wait a little longer! He'll come around." The corners of your mouth twitched, and you chuckled. "But how long will that take? It's the same thing every time we fight." You spoke softly.
As if right on cue, Inosuke burst into the garden, grabbing your hand and whisking you away. You barely had any time to react, but you saw Tanjiro barely mouth the words "Good luck" and you were bridal-carried to one of the Wisteria Estate's many rooms.
"Why am I wet?" You glanced at the damp sleeves of your haori, and looked at your kidnapper, minus the boar head this time before choking on your next words. "I-you- Towel????" You wheezed as Inosuke slapped you on the back, causing you to cough even louder.
"Shit." Inosuke looked down, realising he was wearing nothing but a towel tied around his waist, water droplets dripping down his muscled body and hair. Looking back at you, he laughed softly, a pleasant change from his usual tough demeanour, grabbing a strand of hair and brushing it behind your ear. "You've gone all pink, Y/n-san." You batted his muscular arm away, flushing a deeper shade of pink. "Don't touch me. Why'd you bring me here?" You tried to maintain your calm voice by averting your gaze.
"Look, Y/n-chan. I'm sorry. I-"
"Oh, the great king apologised to his loyal subject for once." You teased him, poking him in the forehead.
He turned a bright shade of pink, and slammed one arm against the wall, practically pinning you to the wall.
"Y/n-chan.. I'm sorry. I know I can be dumb.. and impulsive.. and arrogant, but I don't mean what I tell you. You're.. really pretty, and I love you so.. so much. I won't hurt you like that again, I promise." He blushed furiously, looking away. Your anger and hurt instantly vanished upon looking at him, and you huffed at him, not wanting him to know that he had won you over that easily.
Inosuke apologising certainly was an.. unheard of event though.. He looked worried as he studied your expression, and frantically yelped "I'm sorry, kay! Y/n-chan, I really care about you more than you could ever know. I don't know how I'd be able to kill demons without you, despite my immense strength and skill!" You had to stifle a laugh at this point, even when he was apologising, he still couldn't let go of that massive ego of his. It was kind of adorable, honestly. You punched him in the shoulder, and he winced.
See, one of the perks of being Inosuke's girlfriend was that you were the only person allowed to punch him without getting beaten up. He sighed. "Fine. I deserved that one. I just.. missed you, Y/n." He pulled you in for a long hug, his face burrowed into your hair. Wrapping your arms around his waist, you snuggled into him. God, you'd forgotten how good his hugs were. You stepped back to look into his eyes again, and just as you were about to say something, the words didn't leave your mouth.
His towel fell.
"KYAAAAAA!!!"
