Omg, sorry it took me so long to actually proper read this, I have really gotta get back into Demon Slayer proper (and also watch the latest season UwU) BUT
This was so cute? I am a sucker for all the mundane things, and days where everything goes wrong are so relatable (the boiler is actually currently not working in my house, so it's e x t r e m e l y relatable).
The ending where everyone is just entangled, cosy and enjoying each others' presence??? *chefs kiss* that's fantastic!
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift B <3
Mundane, Nothing Better
i had the pleasure of participating in a fun little secret santa in a server, and i got the chance to write some lovely fluff for @nakunakunomi o((>ω< ))o hope you like it !

Summary :
The plan had been simple : you were to all meet up at this really cute restaurant-café.
Except you hadn't.
The plan had been simple : you were to all meet up at this really cute restaurant-café that had opened a month or so ago, one you all wanted to go to but hadn't had the chance yet. You finally had matching schedules, with none of you missing at all. And, the weather was supposedly, according to the weather reports, going to be agreeable with you. All you had to do was wake up, do your morning routine for a date, and go there. Stress-free, mostly.
It had been your turn to plan the group date, and the last few, organized by your different partners, had been a lot more adventuring. Not that you hated it, far from it, but they took much more preparation - you thought doing something simple would be a good break. They'd all been plenty happy about a more calm time together anyway, so you knew you'd made a good choice with this.
Then, yes, all you had to do, was wake up and do your morning routine.
Except you hadn't - you'd woken up, yes, fine enough.
But then your hot water didn't work when you went to take a shower. Fine, you'd do it the old way, heat up water on the stove and do a more basic clean. It took more time, and more effort, and it did make you a little grumpy. At least it was done with, you thought, as you left the bathroom, dressed up as you planned the day before.
A crashing sound followed by several others alerted you this morning wouldn't be as easy as you'd thought, when you discovered your cat had managed to knock off several vases with flowers and water on the floor, effectively scaring the dog that, in its panic and scramble to get away from the splash zone it'd been close to, had gotten an even bigger mess made.
You quickly sent a message to the group chat, warning them you'd be a little late, and went to work to clean it all up once you'd gotten the animals out of the room, thankful they at least hadn't gotten hurt, if only a little traumatized for the day.
♣
It was with a sigh that you left the bus, miffed at losing time with your partners. Hopefully, the restaurant wouldn't be packed - you'd all settled on a time that would be optimal and did leave room in case of any last-minute incident, such as the ones you ended up subjected to.
You shook your head, ridding yourself of the thoughts of frustration. It wouldn't do you good to head into a time meant to have fun spiraling and worrying. And besides, you wanted to enjoy it entirely with your lovelies, focusing on it all would only make you miss more time with them. Smiling at the thought of getting to meet them all in just a short moment of walking, you straightened up with your mood lifting.
The call of your name by a booming voice made you pause, turning back to see Makio walking fast towards you, followed by the others.
Visibly, they all must have had 'last moment incidents' as well - Tengen not wearing the same clothes he had been in when he sent a picture of himself just before he had left, Suma's eyes red and puffy indicating something must have sent her spiraling in anxiety, and Hina's hair much more of a mess than the tidiness you were used to even if she'd seemed to have fixed it best she could.
"Did I miss messages from you all ?" You checked, not remembering seeing anything about them all being late as well.
"Tengen and I both somehow broke our phones. Suma forgot hers at home." Makio sighed, arms crossed, the others catching up.
"I'm sorry Love," Hina apologized, slight guilt on her face, "I didn't get a chance to send one, and you arrived nearly right when I found myself free."
"No it's alright, don't worry. Are you all okay ? What mess did you all get into ?"
Makio grumbled at the little laugh you let out, crossing her arms, muttering something about 'correcting an ass' and 'being there the whole time'.
Tengen placed a gentle hand on Suma's head, pushing her against him and squishing her there before she could explode into apologies and self-doubt.
"I had the unfortunate chance to be on the receiving end of a filled bucket. I'm lucky enough that it wasn't paint, but it did fry my phone. I went back home to change and found Suma as I was then driving here again, who'd missed her bus." He explained, rubbing her back when she was about to worry herself to the ground again.
A movement of your hand prompted him to gently push her towards you. You wrapped your arms around her, placing your chin on her shoulder and faintly swaying the two of you, shushing her when she tried to apologize, again, reassuring whispers kissed against her cheek making her bury her face against you, letting you bring her down the remaining anxiety high she was on.
"Work called me last minute about something, and it was hectic. Although a good story for the meal," Hina smiled, mischief in her eyes that caught Makio's interest, "it involves me fighting off an old lady in babushka and sandals off of a bodybuilder."
This brought a sharp laugh out of Tengen, his arm going around the back of the two's shoulders, Makio in the middle linking her fingers to Hina's on her right.
"Did she win ?!" Suma exclaimed, not letting go but moving to make it possible for the both of you to move as she clung on, nimble fingers hooked on the belt hooks of your pants, arms framing your waist.
"That's for you to discover once we're there, pretty girl." Hina teased, refusing to answer any more questions Suma kept sending, trying to grasp any little crumb of the story before allowed, as all of you made your way to the restaurant.
You thought your favorite part of the date, at the end of the day, was when you were leaning against Tengen who was laughing into your hair, his lips placing gentle kisses there every few moments; Makio on your other side with Suma on her lap, her thighs pressed against yours and her strength evident through the contact, arms around Suma's waist, and with Suma sitting across her lap, her legs leaning against yours with the angle, and poking Tengen with the tips of her shoes; Hina, half on the seat, half on Tengen's lap, to face you all better as she regaled you with a tale of her misadventure, adoring eyes promising much affection once you'd all be in privacy; warm drinks and warm meals on the table.
A little enclave of warm love and mundane, the best you could have asked for this day.
hope you liked it ! leave a comment and reblog !

Hi Hazel! I'm sorry for the super duper late reply! These last few months before the end of the year has been a whirlwind that I wasn't expecting.
I'm a sucker for romance novels even though I tell myself I don't haha. I guess I've been waiting for my turn with love 🥲
The books you mentioned all sound so interesting! I've added them all to my reading list.
Congrats! I'm glad you got the cards you wanted even though it took a bit of effort. Hopefully 2024 gacha be just as kind, if not kinder!
I wasn't sure how to bring this up, but it's a little bit of a life update I suppose. Come the new year I will no longer be logging into tumblr anymore. With the changes happening in my life, I've had to refocus my priorities and decided to delete my account. I wanted to thank you so much for always responding to my asks this past year, I really enjoyed chatting with you about different things! I hope everything goes well for you and that you always remember to take care of yourself :))
You're an amazing writer and your writings have definitely lifted my moods and helped me through tough times. You're also a great person in general and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to get to know you more these past few months.
I hope you have a great 2024 and every year after, Hazel! Thank you again for your kindness. -berry anon
Hiya berry,
I feel a little weird responding to this so late, especially considering you probably will not read this reply anymore. Maybe you are, Tumblr is public after all and you don't *need* an account to read. But I digress.
I am sad that you're leaving, but personal life and matters go above the internet always. Good for you for prioritizing! It was always a pleasure to have you in my inbox and talk to you, and with you leaving I do not think I have any 'named' anons left :o the end of an era it seems.
I hope you have a great 2024 and further, and who knows, maybe we'll see each other online again sometime! <3
