Part two

You smiled at genya as she fiddled with your hair.

“What is it?” She questioned with a small, tired smile. “I’ll miss this with you genya…” She tilted her head to the side curious at your words.

“You’ll just be moving rooms after the fete, not like you’re going away….you’re not leaving, right..?” She questioned.

“No, but it’ll be a bit different around the palace after tonight..” You trailed off, thinking of a certain newly found couple in the little palace that included your husband.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

As genya walked out of your room and towards Alina she ran into aleksander who paced around the halls.

“Ms Saffin.” He greeted.

“General.” She nodded back. As she went to turn into alina’s room she stopped in front of the doors and turned to aleksander.

“Is lady kirigan alright?” She questioned, making aleksander raise his head and look at genya with an unreadable expression.

“Why do you ask?” 

Genya shrugged.

“Just seemed off this morning.” She said before walking into alina’s room to get her ready for the fete.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

You looked at your dress with a heavy heart, it wasn’t your husband’s black, it was a dark green gown. 

Tears fell as you looked over your closet and noticed the farthest item in the back being your wedding kefta. 

You sighed before wiping away the tear and closed the closet doors before walking towards your bed and opened the nightstand.

WIth shaky hands you pulled out an old journal, you flipped through pages til you found your desired page.

“Hanahaki Disease | Death do you part.” 

Your tears fell down your face as your felt a dreadful cough crawl up your throat.

It had begun before alina had arrived to the little palace, when aleksander hid his affair with zoya from you. 

You noticed in the beginning you delt with weird petals in your coughing fits, you had panicked and ran to a healer where they claimed you as fine.

The second thing you took note of was when you had coughed up flowers buds and thorns mixed in.

When you had discovered the journal you had been tempted to hide it away, it wasn’t till you had hard time breathing properly you went back to the journal to read the rest, you had learned of your condition and kept in silent, it was already hectic with the new sun summoner around.

You had brokedown when you found out the outcome of your illness, you had grown to accept your fate, who knew possibly the saints were going to reward you for being brave by dealing with the illness by giving you a loving life in the next.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

You smiled as you greeted guests who passed by you.

“That’s general kirigan’s wife, poor thing hasn’t got a clue..” Two ambassadors gave you pity looks as they noticed zoya walking by aleksander who spoke ivan and feydor.

“Saints, bless her..” They whispered as you excused yourself to walk over to aleksander.

“Gentlemen.” You greeted, making them turn to you and greet you back.

“May i steal him away for a bit?” You questioned, your arm looping aleksander’s for support.

“Of course, lady kirigan!” You smiled and walked yourself and aleksander to the nearest balcony.

“You look nice tonight, aleksander..” You smiled as him as you let yourself go from his arm and held onto the balcony railing.

“You as well.” He looked around the balcony and noticed your gaze on the dark sky.

“I still remember when you snuck us out to see the stars..” You chuckled to yourself.

“You remember that?” Alexander asked, surprised.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

“I don’t we should be doing this, what if we get caught by someone, we don’t have a chaperone..” You rambled as aleksander helped you onto his horse. 

“Well, i’m their general..” He tried to argue back.

“Oh my bad, you’re the general, that changes the story now!” You both laughed as he had the horse trott through the forest.

“Where are we even going?” You questioned, looking around at the passing trees.

“You mentioned, the palace grounds were always to lit to see the stars.” He turned his head to see your embarrassed expression.

“You remembered?” You smiled as he slowled the horse down and helped you get down.

“Why are you surprised?” He chuckled as you looked at the sky with a wide grin.

You both had sat on the grass and watched the stars for a bit before your spoke up.

“No ones snuck me out of my room to show me stars, thank you aleksander..” You turned your head to him where he smiled at you.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

“Had a hard time explaining why I had grass stains on my nightgown..” you both laughed at your words.

Before aleksander could say anything else, ivan came to tell aleksander of the lantsov’s.

“If you excuse me..” You grabbed aleksander’s kefta sleeve.

“Before you go, i just wanted to tell you, that you were a wonderful husband experience..” you smiled, sadly at him.

“Thank you, now i must go greet the lantsov’s.” 

You left go of his hand with a heavy sigh, you quietly stood out on the balcony, weeping at your upcoming fate.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

As you walked into the palace you watched as alina and aleksander do their demonstration.

You felt your stomach twist as you caught the way he stared at her, it was how he looked at you during your wedding.

Without anyone noticing you had ran to your new room, all of your things had been put away and set in their correct spots.

Finally being alone in your room, you broke down.

You cried over the lost of your marriage, your husband and soon your life.

You had questioned why the saints were torturing you by the thoughts of your husband with alina or zoya.

A rough cough came out of your mouth, bloody rose buds fell out of your mouth along with petals and thorns.

You gasped as it got stuffier in your lungs to breath properly.

Your eyes watered as you fell to your knees, giving up as a rose blossomed out of your throat, choking you out.

Your times with aleksander fled your mind as you laid on the floor, accepting your fate.

He was a wonderful experience.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

A scream from down the hall made alina and aleksander jump from their position on the war table.

As the pair tried to brush it off a rapid knock on the doors made aleksander sigh and moved away from alina to answer.

“Yes, what is it?” Aleksander was taken back, it was a tearful genya and sorrow looking feydor who stood in front of him.

“Lady kirigan…” genya broke down as she tried to explain it.

“We’re sorry…lady kirigan has..passed on.” Feydor explained, aleksander stood up at the news.

“Excuse me?” He questioned. 

The pair lead him to your room, where the servants had laid you in your bed, ivan watched over with a pitiful expression.

Aleksander walked over towards your bed and noticed the curtains surrounding the bed were drawn closed.

He drew back the curtain and froze at the sight of your body. 

There you laid, lifeless. A bloody rose blossomed out of your mouth, ivan had been the one to shut your eyes to let your rest.

“What happened to her?” He questioned, his hand running to your hand were is was barley warm anymore.

“A servant found her on the ground with bloody flower petals and thorns around her..” Ivan explained.

Aleksander kept his eyes on the rose. “Everyone out.” He commanded, his voice wavering a tad.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Once the door had shut, he let tears fall as he held your hand.

“I had just seen you hours before, you were fine..what happened?!” He ranted, shaking your hand, hoping for you to stir and tell him it was a cruel harsh joke.

Memories of you played in his mind as he held your hand to his cheek.

“You look nice tonight, aleksander..” You smiled as him as you let yourself go from his arm and held onto the balcony railing.

“You as well.” He looked around the balcony and noticed your gaze on the dark sky.

“I still remember when you snuck us out to see the stars..” You chuckled to yourself. It was nice to hear your laughter again.

“You remember that?” Alexander asked, surprised. It had been years since. 

“I had a hard time explaining why I had grass stains on my nightgown..” you both laughed at your words.

Before aleksander could say anything else, ivan came to tell aleksander of the lantsov’s.

“If you excuse me..” You grabbed aleksander’s kefta sleeve. 

“Before you go, i just wanted to tell you, that you were a wonderful experience..” you smiled, sadly at him.

“Thank you, now i must go greet the lantsov’s.” He rushed off, unbeknown to him, it would be the last time he left you behind.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

“You were, my everything.” He whispered quietly.

Can't catch me now... pt. 2

Pairing: Aleksander Morozova/The Darkling xgrisha! reader Summary: The Hunger Games in Ravka. 12 districts. 12 tributes. 12 mentors. 11 young people die every year. 1 winner. Aleksander was a mentor to many. But only your face will haunt him for centuries. Inspired by: The Hunger Games. I changed the world of both of them a bit. Word Count: 4,4 k Taglist: @flostvs1508 @watersquirtpewpewboomm @aoi-targaryen @summersummoner-pat @il0vebeingdelulu @chelseyyouraverageluigi @msblacklupin Aleksander Morozova's Masterlist ~•♤♤♤•~ Main Masterlist PART 1 ~•♤♤♤•~

"You look like death. Have you even slept an hour?" You shrug at Genya's question. The woman sighs and works on your face to make you presentable. "The general was furious. He's a good man, despite everything they say about him. You have to understand that... he didn't expect this turn of events, and his stoic attitude was violated. I swear, this is the second time I've seen him lose his cool. And I've been here since I was a child."

"When was the first time?" You ask curiously, not believing her for a moment. You couldn't trust anyone here. You could only count on yourself and no one else. You missed Alina a lot.

"I will tell you this with a complete twist. Anyway, if someone asks, you didn't know it from me. 40 years ago, in the Hunger Games, the General was... asked to be a mentor. Her name was Luda. She was brave and beautiful, with a good heart and a pure soul. She was a healer in her village. She volunteered. In exchange for her younger sister."

"And what happened? He scared her with his shadows because she was a vegetarian and didn't want to eat meat to get stronger?" You mock, as she is making final amendments to your look.

"She died." An uncomfortable silence filled the room. Genya was blindly combing your hair, obviously thinking about her. You could see from the look in her eyes that she must have been especially close to this tribute. "She was... close to the general. He had been mourning her death for a very long time. And I don't want to spread rumours, but the tribute who killed her and won the Hunger Games was found hanging in the forest near his home village. His family was soon convicted of conspiring against the crown and hanged in a more… spectacular way."

"I feel like you're not telling me this just to satisfy my curiosity." You guess as she finally pulls away from you.

You don't know what's worse, when she fixes your face with her strange power or when she looks at you intently, looking for something else to improve your appearance. You weren't used to caring THAT much about yourself. Because who would want to look at an orphan?

"I just want to warn you that… our choices don't necessarily affect only us." You roll your eyes at her attempt at intimidation. Of course. He couldn't make you do anything himself, so he sent his minions to convince you. Quite pathetic, like for the terrible Darkling, who everyone feared.

"I am an orphan. There's nothing he can take from me. I... I have nothing left to lose or to care about..." You say it quietly, rubbing your wrist with your hand. You try hard not to think about Alina and Mal. Your only family... all you have left after those you lost.

"And your life?"

"We're all going to die someday, Genya." Your soft whisper seals the uncomfortable silence.

You think about your parents and siblings—everyone you lost—and the life you could have had that fate ripped from you before you learned how to fight for yourself. You lost everything as a child. There's nothing left for you. At least nothing good.

"Here. You look amazing. There is only one thing missing." She says this with a smile and takes out a long, black coat with black and white embroidery from the closet. It's a kefta. A fucking kefta.

"What the hell is that?" You ask angrily, standing up from your chair and looking at the piece of clothing in utter disgust.

"The general ordered it especially for you. You are a Grisha. You are one of us, and you should present yourself as such." She says this and puts the kefta on the chair.

You walk up to it and run your hand over the material. You expected something rough—just like the general's character—and uncomfortable to wear, since the keftas protected Grisha from every blade and bullet, but this... was nothing like armor. It was soft and cozy. Like velvet. Nothing you may have experienced in your district.

"Black? Isn't that his colour?" You ask, trying to reassure yourself of how terrible this damn thing is.

"Merzost is closely associated with the Darkling bloodline in our culture, since he used it to create the fold. Consider it a… coincidental coincidence." You snort when you hear her explanation. If anything, it was a sign of belonging. The general's new toy. Freak of nature. What a pity he'll lose you before he can use you for the good of his fucking Grisha.

"Other people won't see it like that. You know this, so stop lying to me." The redhead sighs, running a hand through her hair.

"Just put it on. People need to know that the king broke his word to Grisha to force you to participate in the Hunger Games, breaking part of the covenant between us."

"This isn't my war to fight, Genya. Besides, I'm going to die in games anyway, so what's the difference?" Your response only enraged her more.

She didn't raise her voice, and you wouldn't have recognized her emotions unless you saw her hands tremble slightly before she placed them behind her back. You wonder how many times she has had to hide her true feelings.

"You have Merzost in your veins, the most powerful force you can draw from. Do you really want to give it all up? Lose the opportunity you have in front of you? Do you know how many of us have been waiting for you?" She asks with resentment in her voice, but you really don't want to argue with her.

You know it doesn't make sense because they are all here believing in some stupid children's story, a fairy tale that made you a savior in their eyes, and now, since you have finally arrived, you are supposed to fly around and pretend to be a hero you know you are not. As if you could do anything you wanted.

"I was dead long before I was chosen for The Hunger Games. Year after year I was only prolongs the inevitable. I am sorry, but that's the truth. Don't get your hopes up."

"I see that my favourite suicide is in good shape today." Your discussion is interrupted by the appearance of the Darkling. You sigh, rolling your eyes at him. You seriously considered throwing yourself at the spear of one of those ancient armored knights that decorated the halls of the palace. At least you wouldn't have to endure his presence any longer. "Are you rested? Fed?"

"Don't you have something else to do instead of keeping an eye on me? Or send your minions to do it for you? This is getting tiring and irritating." Genya gives you an offended look. She huffs, leaving the chambers as she gets a nod from the Darkling.

"I am your mentor. It's my duty to take care of you." He says, clasping his hands behind him once you're left alone. He looks at you carefully and takes a step towards you. This time, you don't step back but stare at him defiantly.

"Then it is with great pleasure that I would like to relieve you of this obligation." Your words only make him chuckle. He straightens a piece of your hair, tucking it behind your ear. His fingertips brush against your cheek, making you shiver. However, you do nothing to let him know how much his proximity bothers you.

"Oh, you won't make it. Only a king can do this. Do you like your kefta?" He asks, changing the subject. You turn your head towards the offending fabric still hanging on the chair.

"It looks like a floor rag." You say, not hiding your disgust. He chuckles darkly again. He takes the kefta in his hands and unfolds it, pretending to look at it carefully as he walks over to you again.

"Then Karamzin must be richer than I thought, if this is what your floor rags look like. Especially the orphanage."

"Have you been rummaging through my files? What for?" You ask in shock, trying to mask your fear. If he finds out about Alina and Mal… you don't want to have any more deaths on your conscience.

"Better put it on if you don't want to find out very soon." You decide to follow your better judgement instead of your pride and turn your back on him, letting him put on the hideous kefta. Surprisingly, the material hugs you perfectly. You feel warm and soft—the complete opposite of what you know. You gasp in shock as he reaches for his belt and pulls you towards him. You bump into his chest as he tightens the belt around your waist. "Good girl. Now, put your hand in the crook of my arm and smile nicely, and everything will turn out great today. And if you keep behaving as a good girl, you'll get dessert tonight."

"I'd rather gouge out my eyes and sew my mouth shut than be an obedient little doll that you can dress however you want and show everyone."

"I'd reconsider it if I were you. The chefs baked a chocolate cake today. With chocolate-covered cherries on top. Have you ever had a chance to eat something like it?" He smiles, almost mischievously, as he stands next to you, still waiting for you to follow his instructions.

"Son of a bitch." You mutter under your breath and he laughs. He must have been drunk. He couldn't be in such a good mood. Not him.

"That's actually very ture, my little wellspring." He says and leads you to a slaughter worse than the Hunger Games... he leads you to a party for the Games. Among the nobility. You shudder just thinking about this nightmare (not because he puts his bigger hand on yours).

"You have a very beautiful dress!" You force a fake smile on your lips when a noblewoman compliments you.

"Thank you." You say, sipping your glass of wine. The only good thing that happened to you at the party was alcohol. And even then, the Darkling tried to limit you to this one pleasure, making sure that you didn't drink too much.

Your head hurt from all the nonsense conversations with all these people who were only famous for being born into rich families. Terrible. Out of the corner of your eye, you notice several tributes also struggling to maintain their composure. At least you weren't the only one.

However, after you turned out to be Grisha, the rest of the tributes tended to avoid you. You knew from the beginning that you wouldn't have any friends among them, but it would be nice to have one friendly soul in this terrible place.

"I didn't think the people of District 12 would fit into our community so well, but you, darling, look absolutely perfect." You barely stop yourself from throwing the glass you're holding at her. Instead, you tighten your grip on him and smile politely at her, gritting your teeth in anger.

"I'm glad I can surprise you."

Fortunately, you don't have to talk to her anymore. The general approaches you quickly, noticing your tenseness, and with his natural grace, he places his hand on your waist, starting a conversation with a woman who turns out to be a close friend of the queen. Oops. It's better that he came to you, because you wouldn't apologise if you accidentally allowed Merzost to break free and turn her into a volcra.

As you stand next to them, as larger crowds of women begin to gather around you, you realize a terrible truth. The Darkling was your only support here. Him and Genya.

You flinch as he suddenly tightens his grip on your waist and guides you away from the group of noblewomen, who giggle as you both walk away. You allow yourself to roll your eyes at them.

"What the hell was that?" He asks you angrily, setting your glass down on the table. You automatically reach for it again, but he grabs your hand before you can take it and keeps it away from the alcohol.

"I was just about to ask you the same fucking thing." You respond in a defiant tone, glaring daggers at him. Your stomach was starting to growl, and the bastard wouldn't let you touch anything to eat until you fulfilled your end of the bargain and behaved yourself. As you and he can see, you didn't do very well.

"Don't grimace around them as if they were pouring salt into your open wounds." He says it angrily and lets go of your hand. He reaches for something from the buffet. You freeze when he hands you a tiny plate with some fruit. You lick your lips, staring at your food for a moment before looking back at him. "It's for avoiding causing a drama. Partly. Try harder, and I'll let you eat whatever you want."

"But that's what they do! Do you have any idea what it's like to have to stand there smiling and nodding your head while these snobs from the capital talk about how your people and the city are octopus and beneath them?!" You hiss so only he can hear it, but you take the plate of food from him anyway. God knows when you'll get something again.

"I'm Grisha. I know exactly what you are going through." You would laugh at him mockingly if you didn't have a mouth full of food. He looks at you disgusted, and you quickly get the hint and eat smaller portions.

"Please. You've been doing fine since the Hunger Games. At least your people don't have to die every year to the delight of a bunch of sadistic idiots with stuffed bras and fake hair." Your comment makes him bite his lip, but he still can't help but smile a little. Few people could make him laugh and laugh at the same time. As you can see, Merzost wasn't the only special thing about you.

However, your hostile look reminds him that you are in the middle of an argument, and it is his turn to present his argument. God, how much work he had to do with you. You will kill him before he can get you safely through the Hunger Games.

"But years ago we were hunted by all of you, and somehow I don't spit on every Ravkan and kill them for it."

"Because you didn't experience it. If you were there, you would act differently." You sound confident. He shakes his head, wondering how you would react to the truth. Although now he seems to be more interested in food than in anything he has to say. He had to finally feed you. His Merzost Holder couldn't go hungry. It's enough that you experienced hunger and poverty in District 12.

"You think?" He asks, setting your empty plate on the table and offering his hand to you. You look at him for a moment, confused by the sudden… change in his attitude.

"General?"

"You can dance, can't you?" He asks, taking your hand, and without waiting for your response, he leads you to the dance floor. The rest of the mentors have no such idea, so you both are closely watched by all the participants in the ball.

"A little." You say shyly, something he's experiencing from you for the first time. He smiles fondly at you, which, of course, you don't see, too embarrassed to look at anything other than your shoes. But others see. The general's small smile does not go unnoticed by his closest soldiers.

"I guess I have to work with that." He says this and gently lifts your chin to look at him. He places a hand on your waist, and the other holds yours in an iron, steady grip. "Eyes on me. Put your hand on my shoulder and try not to fall. Keep up with me, and everything will be fine."

All you can do is trust him, which you do with surprising ease for him. Somehow, he can't take his eyes off you. You looked gorgeous in the black kefta, especially with his symbol embroidered on the back—a little thing you didn't need to know yet. And so, looking at you, Aleksander can't help but wonder what it would be like if he met you under different circumstances. Maybe if he were younger, less experienced... if his mother's words didn't ring so loudly in his head every time he started to feel something akin to tenderness towards you. Maybe if he hadn't lost so many...

Meanwhile, you try to fight the strange feeling he gives you every time his skin touches yours. You feel a strange pull, a calling, and you realise how your power, the same one you tried to ignore and forget for so many years, comes to life under his touch. You hated it. And him. For trying to break down the walls that you put up for so long and so hard. For trying to make you the Grisha you hated. For making it so easy for you to sink into the arms of the Black Heretic ancestor.

And at the same time… it was nice to feel important for a change… even if just for a moment.

So you dance with him, agreeing to this little moment of truce between you two. Deciding that you would look for answers later as to why you felt so attached to him. And why every time he touched you you felt so… powerful.

"That was awful." You groan as you finally return to your chambers, with the Darkling by your side, of course.

He hasn't left you since that dance. He was always somewhere next to you as you talked with the nobility. You have gained several sponsors and the favour of important people in Os Alta. The Darkling was pleased. And you're exhausted.

"And wonderful. You did great, much better than I expected. The servants should bring our dinner soon." He says, sitting next to you on the couch, watching as you take off your kefta and throw it in the corner of the room. He bites his lip, deciding not to comment. He already expected a lot from you today. The manners lesson could have been taught another time.

"Our?" You ask surprised, not expecting him to stay longer than necessary.

"Do you mind?"

"Yes." You answer honestly and straight away, to which he just laughs.

"I wish I cared." He replies with a mischievous smile. You roll your eyes as you take off your shoes and try to pick any pins out of your hair. Genya seemed to enjoy tormenting you. There were definitely too many of them. "So a healer? Really?" He asks, referring to your last conversation. Someone asked you what you wanted to do before you got into The Hunger Games. You decided to answer truthfully once. Of course, you were laughed off and called a sweet, naive soul willing to help. You wanted to vomit on their polished, gold-plated shoes.

"Why not?" You ask angrily. He raises his hands defensively with a smirk, seeing how fed up you are with everything that happened today.

"It's rather… a thankless profession among the common people. Healers usually come to them when they are dying. Relieve suffering. They are the harbinger of death, almost like a reaper. Usually, they are not coming to actually extend their lives."

"So you must have had similar experiences." You scoff, making him think about it. This wasn't what you expected. You were expecting a rather harsh answer. Not a pensive, almost sad look. For a moment, you think that maybe he, too, could just be human. You shake your head. No. He was just one of them. He couldn't have any... human feelings or know the real pain.

"Painful but true. They don't get excited when they see me either." His whisper should make you change the subject, but after the terrible day he put you through, all you want to do is stick a pin in him where it hurts the most.

"I wonder why..." You start, but he cuts you off before you can finish.

"Don't mock. You were behaving so nicely. I prefer you to smile than spit acid."

"I wish I cared." You repeat his words from a while ago, trying to imitate his tone of voice. He rolls his eyes at you, but somehow you both do nothing more than make snide comments to each other. Taking advantage of the relatively quiet moment between you, you decide to ask him honestly. "What do you want from me?"

"To win." He replies simply, playing with the ring on his finger. He rolls it over on his finger, resting his chin on his hand as he looks at you intently. A shiver runs through you as the dark depths of his eyes meet yours. Undeterred by his short, evasive answer, you continue, knowing that this is your only chance to get something from him.

"And then what? You won't let me go back to my district." You say, knowing perfectly well that this is not an option for you. IF you win.

"You are right. You will live here. With Grisha. The people you belong to." You frown, dissatisfied with his answer. You weren't Grisha. You will never be. No matter how much he pushes and forces you to become one of them.

"Unless I die, which is very probably since I am not going to kill anyone on the arena." You remind him. He doesn't seem to take your promise seriously. You don't convince him. He will see for himself in the arena how serious you are about your decision.

"You won't die." He says it firmly, as if it were an obvious fact.

"How can you..."

"YOU WON'T!" He yells at you, standing up. You sit stoically in the same position as before, watching as the shadows in the corner of the room gather around him. He sighs and waves them away. "I've been waiting a long time for you, Y/N. You are the one of your kind and even more precious than a Sun Summoner. I won't see your dead body. No matter how much you want it."

"Leave." You say, too tired to argue with him, to tell him that you have no intention of being an obedient tool in his hands, that you won't be a weapon that he can use.

"That's my palace." Furious at his words, you get up to face him. You look at each other with pure hatred.

You are too tired to notice that a dark mass is beginning to form around your arms. But Aleksander sees it. And he watches with fascination as you let your powers slip through. Out of curiosity, he summons his shadows behind you. Just a small black cloud. However, for some reason, under the influence of your powers, the room is plunged into complete darkness. He looks at you in shock, realising that you had unknowingly empowered him by providing him with energy from Merzost. Unbelievable.

"And my room for a while, so prove to me you can sometimes be the nobel man everyone told me you are and leave me alone." You whisper; all you can see in the dark surrounding you are its irises, analysing you with undisguised fascination and admiration.

If only you trained, if you learned to control what was inside you... Aleksander wouldn't have to take anyone into account; he could just declare himself tsar, threatening the Ravkans to expand the fold if they didn't recognise Grisha's greatness. All he needed was you.

"As you wish." He says, deciding to let you win this fight. He takes your hand and holds it tight as he calls his shadows back to him. They come back in a second. One blink, and the darkness in the room disappears. Impossible. Even his mother didn't have that much control in her glory days. He wondered if you would have this effect only on him or on other Grisha as well. But no. He won't share this secret with anyone. Not yet. For now, you were only his little wellspring of power. "Tomorrow is the first day of your training. 7 A.M. Don't be late, or I will drag you out of your bed by myself." He says, letting go of your hand and walking towards the exit, trying hard not to steal glances at you. He would have to look into his grandfather's journals and old books. You were a real mystery. And he was just waiting to see what more you could do besides complete him perfectly.

"Go to hell." You mutter under your breath, rubbing the hand that was in his iron grip a few moments ago. You felt that stupid electric thrill again. It definitely had to have something to do with your strange connection. Darkling and Merzost Holder. You had to find out more about it. Maybe you need to start being nice to Genya after all...

"Excuse me?" He asks, turning around in the doorway when he hears the insult from you.

"Sleep well." You reply with a sweet, cynical smile. He shakes his head in amusement and decides to ignore your behavior. He'll give you a hard time at training tomorrow. See how far your skills range. With a little training, who knows... maybe you'll be able to bring people back from the dead.

Involuntarily, his thoughts turn to Luda. If he had you by his side earlier… no. He couldn't think about her. He knows that history would have turned out the same way. Because even if you had revealed yourself to him earlier, he would have been too busy with you to see anyone else.

Aleksander promises himself that he will do everything to prevent you from becoming his second Luda. He had enough ghosts of his past tormenting him at night. And you can't become another one of them. If necessary, I will kill these tributes myself. He will find a way. He always did.

Unless someone dares to interfere with his plans... just like last time. That's why, immediately after leaving your chambers, he goes to the only person he knows who will be able to protect you from his greatest enemy.

"Ulla?! Sister?! I have an offer you can't refuse!" He calls from the shore of the lake in the gardens of Little Palace.

[sarcastic-kaz]

au where (most of) the kamaboko squad is significantly aged down and giyuu is the one to find them all.

giyuu on a mission stumbling across a boy, aged fourteen, taking out all his anger on demons with no uniform in sight, leading him to remember the anger that sabito held in his heart towards demons.

giyuu goes on a winter mission to find a family slaughtered with the two eldest, aged five and six, huddled together in a closet forcing him to remember what tsutako did for him.

giyuu heading through some mountains on his way to a mission only to be attacked by a feral six year old child, who he painfully realises was left all alone in the world, like when tsutako died for him.

giyuu investigating a town for demons only to find a group kicking around a six year old child for fun, forcing flashbacks of when the townsfolk didn't believe that a demon killed tsutako.

giyuu limping back to the butterfly mansion when he spots a girl, no older than five, being tugged around on a rope like some sort of animal, and gets the instinct that sabito would've stepped in.

so then, he has five kindergarden aged children who call him 'chichi' and a traumatized teenager who is morally inclined towards kindness and is trying to heal by helping to raise the kids.

ensue giyuu struggling with what all the kids personally need, from tanjiro wanting to be the eldest even if he isn't, to nezuko also trying to prove she's useful only making things harder, to inosuke showing off how he's the best by making things worse, to zenitsu and kanao's flinching and abusive pasts making genya himself struggle with remembering his own younger siblings and a still-fresh trauma of calling his brother a murderer.

they would all just bring back memories giyuu repressed as well. he would just be reminded of himself or people he knew basically all the time.

but imagine the hashira's reaction. kagaya's reaction. urokodaki's reaction. the uppermoon's reactions. muzan's reaction to priceless beings held in the palm of a hashira's hand.

a child who knows the sun breathing technique. a girl who knows the exact location of the blue spider lily. a teenager who could eat demons and gain their traits. and as the others grew, starting from water breathing but eventually branching to their own, suited breathing- muzan would know he's in trouble, especially as his kizuki get baked.

shinobu poking fun at giyuu: ne ne, why wont you hang out with us?

giyuu, an exhausted single father of six who works a night job and barely even sleeps during the day due to his kids: just kill me already.

but then when they actually ask, he would say he'd have to watch his kids and explain that he has six- holy fuck how does that loser have six whole children with a woman -children they dont yet realise all were adopted, so they go over with giyuu to the water estate to see if it's true.

so, we've got genya. the reason he's only been aged down a couple years is sanemi. que their absolutely shellshocked reunion. giyuu didn't get the chance to send a crow beforehand that they were arriving, and sanemi had absolutely no idea that his brother had become one of his work rival's children.

but, they can't really tell anybody, with the other hashira being overwhelmed by the five kids. giyuu knew bits and pieces but genya begged not to tell sanemi yet so he complied until that visit.

they both just awkwardly stare at each other the whole time the other hashira are there and everyone notices but just doesn't say anything out of politeness.

then giyuu asks how the kids like his coworkers. they all go around saying how much they liked the hashira then it gets to tanjiro. you can tell he's sort of upset from his facial expression, and dead set on sanemi.

genya and giyuu are horrified as tanjiro says he dislikes them because genya smells nervous and terrified. he then runs off, and the other kids immediately agree with tanjiro before following, so everything just spirals.

genya just dashes after them and tries to make them apologize, but it's just awkward silence all around for the hashira as they just sorta look at each other. it is very tense as giyuu leads them out, and genya finally rallies the children into apologizing. anyone could tell how much they were lying through that entire thing.

then genya also apologizes and bows really deep, and none of them really know how to react until sanemi steps forward to pat genya's head, saying it's not his fault and that kids will be kids. a reference to when genya called sanemi a murderer.

canonically, sanemi immediately forgave genya for that all after it happened, and he only acted hostile after genya joined the corps. so they could have a good sibling relationship build when genya's not a part of the corps.

the hashira then depart, and genya bursts into tears. the children rush to comfort him as they're all overwhelmed with how much relief is steaming off of genya at that moment.

giyuu looks back towards the hashira, where sanemi is looking back. giyuu waves, and from the shadows given by sunset, he can see sanemi did the same.

...and the end, this is all i can think about for a scene. might write this out sometime but feel free to see it. it spiralled once i started.

Enough for you.

Sanemi x F! Reader / Genya x F! Reader

TW: Violence, cheating on partner, suggestive themes, hurt reader. The reader (you) can read aura's, Happy ending.

Genya has grown a bit from his shyness of girls. He can speak to them now. It's just when they like hug him or touch him he gets a little nervous.

.

.

In this AU Genya is 20, Sanemi is 24 and you are 21 or 22 which ever one you prefer.

It was the week of our anniversary, I had already prepared the charade of gifts hidden inside a spare closet in our home.

Recently, Sanemi had been acting really off, distant. Well maybe not so recently.. it had been going on for weeks now! Maybe it was a mission that he had gone through that pissed him off.. but his last mission was a long time ago and he asked for a break to train his new tsugoku.. I met her, she seemed really nice! We had even planned a time to go out for a girls day, she had me invite Mitsuri and Shinobu, though.. Don't get me wrong I love them! But I know Shinobu wants to know who the girl is at first, Mitsuri too.

I carried the golden band of jewelry I bought Sanemi, I had been away on many missions so I could save up for this gift, it was pure gold and polished to perfection I knew it had caught his eye while we were out on mission one time. We had walked passed the store with the band of jewelry shining brightly in the side of there window.

His eyes beamed when he looked at it. I wondered why, but I got it regardless.

.

As I slide open the door to our home I saw Sanemi sitting quietly on a mat near the porch outside, I smiled. I'm finally home,

"I'm home Nemi!" I spoke but no reply.. did he not hear me?

I ignored it and went to our room and hid the last part of his gift inside the closet, now finally his present was fulfilled.. I walked back out.

"Sanemi?" No response. I started to get a bit angry.

I walked closer "Sanemi can you hea-"

"Where have you been." I paused at his harsh voice but answered anyway,

"Out. I've been out on missions you know this.."

He grit his teeth and stood up, his aura was dark.. I couldn't read it like I normally could.. What's wrong with him? I was normally used to his rudeness but it was different this time, something was wrong.

"Your always out, you have been for the past weeks! Why are you distancing yourself, What the hell did I do?" He started to yell, as did I.

"You didn't do anything, What are you on about this time.. I'm not trying to distance myself!"

As the yelling went on I could see what he was getting at, see. Sanemi had attachment issues all though he would never ever say it aloud he has problems when he gets closer with people he grows attached, said me.

He thought I was cheating on him..

.

.

"Quit the corps." I paused, excuse me?

"No. I don't get why your getting like this but I am not quitting the corps. Sanemi you should trust me, were dating after all?"

"Exactly, were dating! That doesn't mean anything! You could still use your place of work as an excuse to go on ahead and cheat on me! That's why you should quit! You know I can support both of us.."

I can't believe he would say that, discarding our relationship as it was nothing! Even if I was Cheating I could still cheat with or without work so what was the point! To keep me safe? I can handle myself, I'm not weak.

"I'm not quitting, my decision is final! Y'know what I'm going out I need air," I paused "away from you." I started to walk away from him, I could hear his heavy breathing even as I was walking away. He turned around and sat back down, I could tell he was annoyed.

.

.

I walked down the trail, looking up into the dark night. The stars were out and it was a beautiful full moon. Usually you couldn't see this from where Sanemi and me lived because of all the lights surrounding our home..

Sanemi.

I thought, maybe I should go back now. I think he just needed some time? I started to get a bad feeling pooling in my stomach, he still probably doesn't want to talk when we get back.

I thought back to the argument, that was the most we interacted in months.. he's been so distance, why the sudden change? The more I got consumed in my thoughts, the more I forgot about the trail Infront of me, the more I forgot about my surroundings.

Before I knew it I had collided right into someone. I almost fell to the ground before I felt there hands sturdy me. I shook my head and looked at the face that stared back into mine, great.. His brother. Genya's face dusted pink, he looked shock to see me out here this late. He placed his hands off of me and spoke,

"Y/n why are you out here so late? Is Nemi here too?" Genya looked around, but no sight of Sanemi.

"you shouldn't be out here. It's late and you don't even have your sword.." Genya stared at my waistband, noting I wasn't dressed in my uniform which explains that I didn't come from work.

Genya was roughly taller than his brother, he had scars as well maybe not as many as Sanemi but they still adorned his body. His hair was in a mohawk and was a dark jet black.

Completely opposite from Sanemi. Although their eyes were the same saying it was inevitable that they were brothers. Both had rough exteriors.

I dusted myself off, "Sorry for bumping into ya Gen. I wasn't watching where I was going. But I'm okay, no need to worry." I smiled slightly.

"Okay.. uhm, where's Sanemi shouldn't he be with you?"

Oh.. I looked up at him and rubbed my neck sheepishly. Should I tell him about the fight? I know he was his brother but Sanemi barely ever talked to him.. Whatever.

"Oh, uhm we had gotten into a fight.. I just needed some fresh air."

Genya frowned at that. He sighed, "I'm sorry about that.. is there anything I can do?" No there wasn't, it was already said and done..

"Not really.." I paused "But it's fine it was just a little fight, he'll get over it." Is what I told him. I was telling it to myself too. It didn't seem 'little'.

This was probably the longest conversation I've ever had with Genya.. We've never really talked that much, only a couple "Hello"(s) or "How was your day?"

Genya stood there but then he perked his head up at an idea.

"It's impolite to leave you here out in the dark.." he cleared his throat, "So how about I walked you home?.. I mean Nemi probably wouldn't like it if I left you here.." Genya rambled on trying to justify his statement to walk me home, I let out a chuckle. Genya paused.

"Wait, are you laughing at me?" He blushed embarrassed..

I smiled, "Genya, it would be my honor for you to walk me home.." I teased.

"oh shut up." Genya shoed me away but I just kept teasing him. Eventually I stopped and we started to walk to my place talking along the way. We both rambled and listened. It was actually an eventful day.. or night. Genya turned out to be a lot nicer than I expected him to be. Being born from a naturally hot headed family and all.

.

We made it too my door, I looked back at Genya.. it was super late. I knew Sanemi wouldn't like Genya here but I don't want him to be walking back this late.

"Hey, how about you spend the night?.. We have a guest room!" Genya's eyes widened,

"are you sure it wouldn't cause any problems?.. I wouldn't want to cause anything between you and my brother."

I smiled, "Of course not. I'm sure Sanemi wouldn't mind." Genya nodded at that and we entered my house.

It was dark inside, and absolutely silent, expect for the music booming from Sanemi and mines room. What was he on about? Maybe he's just taking a shower he usually booms music during that.

"Hey, I'm gonna go see Sanemi and talk it out.. uhm the guest room is that way" I pointed towards the hallway besides our kitchen. Genya nodded.

"let me know if you need anything."

Genya nodded, "Goodnight, y/n"

I smiled, "Goodnight, Gen."

I walked towards our room the music growing louder and louder, then I started to hear werid noises it sounded like someone was struggling.. What the hell? Is Sanemi ok?! I burst into the room only too see a scene that made me freeze.. it all happened so fast..

Sanemi was on top of his Tsugoku, kissing her I watched at his tongue explored her mouth as he humped himself against her.. she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back like I used too..

"What.. what the Fuck?" My fists grew into balls.

Sanemi freezes and he quickly pushes himself off his Tsugoku. He wipes his mouth that was eagerly stained with lipstick. His Tsugoku layed against the wall panting.. he surely took her breath away.. jealously bubbled inside me, is this why he had been distancing himself? Of course it was.. I was just to stupid to even notice anything.

"Babe.. it's not what-" my eyes well up, how could he do this. He swore he would never become like his old man, getting into fights with me, cheating on his partner.

His Tsugoku licks her lips, her face red with blush. I can feel my stomach practically rolling at the scene unfolding before me.

"I was only gone for a few hours!! And I see you all pent up against your Tsugoku! God knows what the hell her name is?! What is wrong with you!" I screamed at him.

"Rin." His Tsugoku spoke.. "my name is Rin." That's right, I forgot her name was Rin, Rin Gamaki. But I don't even give a fuck. I could care less.

I turned to her, "I could care less what your fucking name is. You knew, but you still went for my boyfriend like he was yours all along. Your just another tramp. Shinobu was right -"

"Don't. Don't fucking pull that shit." Sanemi says sternly. His gaze fixated on me, his face was hard and gave me a look of hatred.

"Couldn't you have taken a fucking hint. I didn't need you. I don't fucking need you. I haven't been talking to you, to let you down slowly.. but it seems your still so fucking oblivious to even notice!"

I shouted back at him, he didn't just stop there and before I knew it I was crying, a lot. Sanemi always made this stupid promise to never hurt me. Some empty oath that was to him. It didn't mean anything anymore.

Sanemi continued to spew insults like it was just words bouncing off his tongue, it wasn't even like he knew me. Like I was just a stranger to him.

I felt someone step Infront of me, there aura felt warm, inviting.. I looked up to see Genya. His hand faltered Infront of me, he stood in a protective stance. Sanemi suddenly went quiet..

"That's enough.." Genya paused.. "You don't speak to her like that, like she was nothing too you. That's horrible and honestly your acting just like..-" Genya stopped himself from going any further.

"just like what?" Sanemi sounded weak just for a second. He knew what Genya ment. As did I.

Genya didn't let the words fall from his tongue like I had, 'our father' is what he was thinking, what we were all thinking. He spoke again,

"Who even are you. The Sanemi I knew wouldn't do this shit. The Sanemi I knew swore he wouldn't even think of this."

"Don't act like you Fucking know me. You were barely even there. Where did you even come from, Or did y/n invite you in because she was bored of me too?"

..

That's when I spoke up too,

"you wanna know where I've fucking been. I'll tell you where I've fucking been." I walked over to the spare closet in our bedroom and slammed it open and with one swift move I used my arm and slid all the gifts out. Sanemi watched,

"I've been out working. Working so we could have a good anniversary. Working so you could have some new things because you always are breaking them while fighting. Or fucking because obviously that's why you've been gone. Or what your doing while I'm gone."

Sanemi stood in place, his eyes landed on the Golden band on the ground. The band that reminded him of his mother's golden earrings. His lip trembled. That jewelry was the exact brand his mother used as well..

Genya's face showed a feeling of sympathy. He knew I was working hard, I told him on the way here.

Genya frowned and walked towards me pulling me away from the scene, I walked solemnly next to him, tears still flowing from my eyes.

As I walked away I saw Sanemi's act falter staring at the gifts on the ground. It means nothing now, so why does he even care their meaningless if the person who gave them to you doesn't mean anything to you. I'm just another woman after all. That's all I meant to him.

.

.

.

A few months later.. (5 months)

.

.

I had started to live with Genya, he didn't mind at all, at least that's what he told me. I hope he doesn't mind. I take care of the place though, I clean, cook and take care of everything. I might as well show my gratitude..

But everything felt so, werid. He was Sanemi's brother after all.. the man whom cheated on me. Genya said that he didn't care if he was related to him I still deserved someone's help, whether that be him or someone else.

I actually haven't seen Genya talk to Sanemi at all. I have been ignoring him since the incident and from what I've heard, he's falling apart.. Good. I felt bad of course but a little part of me knew he deserved it. He was falling behind in work and his Tsugoku was still as needy as ever. God, I hate her so much she's such a pain in my ass.

I mean you would think that she would at least be a decent person and leave you alone. But no, she was always bitter and acted like she was better because Sanemi chose her. I didn't care, it's what I'll always tell myself. It's been months since then, I wanted to be over it. But no matter how hard I try I always circle back to the same memory.. At least Genya was there, he always was..

Everytime I came home sad or upset he'll somehow always be there, even when he was on missions! I would get letters,

"Are you alright Y/n?"

"Just checking in"

"I'll be home soon don't worry."

He always looked out for me since then, he was a very sweet man. Opposite from his brother, he hasn't touched a girl in his life, it was a bit comical but I wouldn't mind being that first girl for him.

Maybe 3 months after that incident.. I started to have feelings for him, he was always there.. like I said. He was a sweet person after all. I wished he had feelings for me but I just have never seen it, it hurt. But I think I could live with being just friends with him, it was enough.

Currently, I had just gotten home from a mission. Genya and I were sending letter's back and forth no wonder this mission took forever I was just so distracted. My face heated up thinking about him. God what kind of person am I falling for my ex boyfriends brother.. is that bad? It sounds bad.

I sighed, walking through the door I quickly take my shoes off. I'm so tired, and dirty.. I definitely need a bath.. I ran my hands through my hair,

"Y/n? Your home?" I heard that sweet voice I quickly walked in the direction of it.

"Genya?.. You're off your mission too? I thought you said in your letter that it would take a few more days.."

Genya smiled, noting that I had remembered that detail.

"Ah, well my mission came to an end quickly actually.. I thought it would take longer.. that demon was rather hard to catch." He chuckled lightly.

I smiled and mended my hands together in front of me, "Well I'm glad it's over. I heard it was a higher ranked mission. I was a bit worried.. Are you hurt at all?"

He perked his head up at that and shook his head, "No, just a little bit on my shoulder.. I kinda got thrown into a wall.." he spoke a bit embarrassed.

I laughed, "well.. I'm glad your alright hm?"

"Yea!.."

Slience lingered a bit, of course it wasn't that awkward type of slience it was that type that was oddly comforting in a way.. I started to walk to the bedroom when I heard his voice.

"And what about you?" He paused. "Are you hurt?.." I watched as his hand rubbed his neck nervously.

I smiled again, "I'm alright, thanks for asking Gen." I walked into the bedroom and shut the door behind me.

.

.

I changed into more comfortable clothes, I took a deep breath. I am so glad to be out of those dirty clothes. I felt so gross.. that battle practically drenched me in sweat. I'm glad that bath was enjoyable at least..

I got ready to approach the door and open it but I stopped when I heard someone humming.. Genya was still up? I thought he would be asleep by now.. He's always up early in the morning..

I smiled faintly when I heard the melody he was humming. I hummed a bit too, just in a different room.. it was the melody I used to always hum when I was concentrated or doing something.. I can't believe he memorized it.. I let out a quiet laugh. Before I walked out I thought for a few minutes.. during these passed months he was always so sweet to me unlike his brother and he never once tried to start a fight with me before talking it out.. Why do things have to be so one sided? Maybe he did like me and I was just oblivious.. I blushed lightly and shook my head trying to rid of those thoughts and act naturally.

I walked out of the room and saw Genya sitting in the outside porch.. he was gazing up at the night sky.. looking at the stars..

It was pretty outside.. he looked so lost in thought that he didn't even realize I sat next to him.. The sky was faded into dark purple and blue hues as the stars and the crescent moon was the only source of light..

"Whatcha thinking about?"

Genya snapped out of thought as he heard me speak..

"Oh! Nothing.. just things.."

"That was very descriptive.." I joked lightly.

He let out a laugh and smiled, "Do you remember when we first met?" There was a period of silence before I spoke,

"Yes. It was a night just like this wasn't it? Now that I'm thinking about it.. a lot of the days or nights I've talked to you it always looked the same.." I paused "I guess things never change."

"Yea.." he seemed nervous.. he fumbled with his hands as he thought about what to say next..

"I have to tell you something Y/n.." he sighed softly as he built up some courage.. He sat up and looked at me his eyes showing a hint of bravery, just as he opened his mouth to speak, we heard banging on the door.

I jumped at the sound, it was 11PM at night who could possibly be banging on the door at this time of night.. Genya was startled too,

"Hold on let me get that.." Genya gets up and approached the door. Just as he was about to open it I heard the voice that I never wanted to really hear ever again..

"Genya?.. Can we talk please..?" It was a gruffy, deep voice that belonged to Sanemi.. Never in a thousand years would I believe that Sanemi came to Genya for help..

Genya froze at that voice, it seems he didn't think that Sanemi would talk to him ever again either.. he looked back at me and I quickly went into another room.. Nobody knew that I lived with Genya, especially Sanemi because we didn't know what reaction we would get out of him.. I heard the door open.. I leaned against the closed door of the room I was in silently listening in.

"Nemi? What are you doing here?.." Genya asked. I could tell from his tone that he was nervous..

"Didn't you hear what I said outside the door? I just want to talk.." he sighed.

"Right.." there was a pause.. "about what?.."

I could almost sense the frown that was inflicted upon Sanemi's face. I heard another deep exhale,

"Shit, I don't know what's wrong for wanting to talk to someone. I can't talk to Rin because it's like she doesn't give a shit about my problems."

Another pause of slience occured..

"and whose fault is that.. you did leave Y/n for her y'know.." Genya said barely above a whisper..

"I know! I know that.. Listen I didn't come here to hear your bitch attitude, I came here because your one of the only people that knows what happened that day and y/n won't talk to me.."

Oh I wonder why, asshole. I rolled my eyes.

"Well you did cheat on her.. if someone cheated on me I wouldn't want to talk to them either.. you need to take in her point of view too."

I heard rough steps roam throughout the home,

"weren't you going to marry her or something? What even happened to that.."

I looked down at the ground a bit in shock and sadness.. he was going to marry me? My fists clenched together..

"it's not like it even fucking matters now.. she hates me"

"No shit." Genya joked with some bitterness in his tone. I could tell he was still mad at Sanemi for doing such a thing in the first place.

Suddenly I felt the atmosphere change.. and the tension become almost suffocating.. I could hear clattering in the kitchen almost in a hurry,

"Wait!" Genya yelled.

I heard stomps collect to the porch and that's when I realized the most vital thing that I left out there.

My blade. My nichirin blade.. That's what Genya yelled about.. he yelled so he wouldn't see it.. but he did.

Slience in the air lingered like a band of tension waiting to snap. Until it did,

"What the fuck is this?" Sanemi paused, "This is Y/n's blade. Is.. is she here right now?"

Genya didn't speak I just heard his breathing..

"Listen she just needed somewhere to stay and-" Genya tried to finish before Sanemi interrupted him..

"She has money you idiot! Is this what she wanted? To stay with my brother so she could get back at me?" His tone was aggressive and rough

"No, no you have it all wrong-"

"I don't want to fucking hear it where is she?"

I stayed quiet in the bedroom.. I didn't want their relationship ruined more than it already has been.. it meant a lot to Genya to have his brother back.. sure he cared for me but I think his family matters more he shouldn't throw it all away for me.

I grabbed my things from the drawers and closet.. stuffing them into one big duffle bag that was under I heard footsteps storming towards this room.. I tried to pack faster that was until the door barged open.. hoping it was Genya I turned around..

But if course it was Sanemi.. he stared at me. Frozen in place, looking at the things I had stuffed in a duffle bag.. my messy attire consisting of the pajamas I usually only wore around Sanemi but now I was wearing around Genya..

I stared back at him, I stared at the vein that was twisting out of his forehead.. I stared at the veins trailing up his neck.. his hand fell from the door as he matched towards me.. Genya came in the room,

"Nemi Listen!" Genya yelled. But it was too late Sanemi was staring directly in my eyes our noses almost touching.. his eyes wider than before twitching with blind rage..

His voice was cold and stern, it felt like I was being filled with anxiety..

"Is this what you wanted? To make me mad? To get with my brother so you can have your revenge or whatever the hell you wanted from him or me?" I backed up and shook my head.

"You have it all wrong, Genya and I are just-"

"Friends? Yea okay like I'll believe that shit. Genya done ratted you out as soon as I saw your blade.."

Genya took his shoulder trying to get him to back away from me, Sanemi pushed him away into a nearby wall..

"Get off me. This is between me and her you have no right in this." Sanemi stared back at Genya..

Genya clutched his fists and looked at Sanemi back,

"I think I have a right to know what's gonna happen. I was there the night you cheated on her and I've been with her ever since."

Sanemi's eyes widened and he quickly turned towards Genya,

"You what? Has she been living with you this entire time?!" Sanemi Yelled. Genya looked at me and I nodded I took my chance and grabbed my things quickly making my way to the living room until Sanemi left Genya and stepped in front of me as soon as I made it close to the porch.

"Sanemi we have been broken up for months why do you still care?" I asked.. it's true why did he still care? Even if he thinks he still loves me I don't think I love him. Not anymore.. him coming after me like this was not like him at all.. I thought he was over this.

Genya walked out to the two of us, rubbing his shoulder tenderly I guess Sanemi pushed him into the wall pretty hard..

"She's Right. Why do you still want her? You have Rin.." Genya muttered..

"Because I regret what I did. Jesus fucking Christ I was sorry okay? I didn't realize what I had lost before I had lost it." Sanemi's voice shook as he stepped back.. He sighed and rubbed his face.

"But you getting with Genya was a whole different level of selfishness.. I know I'm a dick. But at least I wouldn't consider doing that."

"oh but it's fine to consider cheating on me after one argument right?" I talked back.

"Because like that wasn't selfish." Sanemi stared at me and furrowed his brow.

"Shut your damn mouth."

Genya walked next to me to ask if I was alright but Sanemi got even more furious after that,

"So your gonna choose her? Over your own fucking blood?" Sanemi clutched his fists..

Slience lingered.. Genya ignored him trying to focus on me.. I could tell it hurt him what Sanemi said.. He froze up for a second before trying to aid to me..

I looked at Sanemi,

"Listen leave Genya out of this you said he shouldn't be in an-" I was cut off by Sanemi throwing a vase at the wall.. I saw it shatter against the wall and shards fly everywhere.. my body covered Genya's and I had a large shard of glass slide against my skin.. cutting it open, blood leaked from my wound.

Genya's eyes widened.. and Sanemi stayed in place shocked that he hurt me.

I could see the anger in his eyes quickly dial down but he still said nothing...

Genya looked over at him, "Get out." Sanemi looked at Genya and spoke, "I didn't mean to I thought-"

"Get out right now Sanemi." Sanemi just looked down disappointed in himself and barged out the door slamming it behind him.

Genya quickly put his attention towards me.. "Fuck.. are you okay Y/n?" He stared at the wound his face twisting a bit in discomfort.

I winced feeling the sharp sting of the cut and Genya sighed he took my hand, blushing lightly to himself,

"Come with me I'll help.." I nodded also blushing a bit too..

Genya brought me to his bathroom making me sit in the edge of the toilet.. he quickly grabbed first aid and disinfectant..

"Hey, this is gonna sting a bit but I need to clean it.." Genya looked at me reassuringly "it'll be over in a second" he took a rag and gently wiped the blood that seeped from my cut and bit my lip..

"I'm sorry that happened.. I can't believe he did that."

Genya poured some disinfectant on the rag and lightly cleaned my wound, I winced. He looked up at me his eyes showing worry and concern as he continued to ramble,

"You alright?" He took the rag off after cleaning it and I nodded lightly.

He continued to take care of my wound carefully and gently as if he touched me too roughly I'd break.

"Don't think about what happened too much okay? I don't uhm need you worrying."

"And I know you still wonder sometimes if you were enough and, you are."

"it's Sanemi and y'know how he is.." Genya looked up at me for a response but I seemed zoned out.. I saw him blush and I raised my brow.. wondering what was making him so flustered.

"Y'know.." he started, I looked at him staring at his jet black mohawk.. and his eyes..

He bit his lip but he continued anyway..

"You deserve someone better Like.." he paused again..

I tilted my head.. I had a feeling what he was going to say and I wanted him to say It.. I started to develop feelings for him too and I was really hoping I wasn't wrong about what he wanted to say.. he finished wrapping my arm in white bandages,

"Like who?"

.

"Like me." He muttered.. His cheeks faded into a deep red as well as mine.. Oh my god so it wasn't one sided.. I was just oblivious! I smiled happily and spoke,

"Was that a confession?"

He looked down shyly..

"Uh, I guess so? Yea I uhm I like you." He looked like a shy child at that moment and I giggled lightly..

"I like you too." Genya looked up at me and his face was now a tomato "Say what? Wait can you say that again?.." he scratched the back of his head looking into my eyes anticipating hoping I would say it again..

"I like you too."

.

.

Idk this might've been a bit rushed but this was my first angst Imagine anyway I hope you guys like it!

Kamaboko Squad x Reader Horror Movie Night Headcanons

Genya

When you suggested the idea to him, he didn’t see anything wrong with it

His logic was that scary movies are fake so he should have nothing to be afraid of

He got snacks, ordered pizza and you both cuddled and started watching the movie

At the start he was a bit nervous but he knew he couldn’t back out

He flinched a bit at the first jumpscare but didn’t think it was too harmless

At some parts he grew really anxious but he disregarded it

At one part, you hugged Genya tighter because you were scared at one point but little did you know, he was even more terrified than you were

He enjoyed spending time with you although he kinda wished you picked a different movie but he didn’t says so

Next time he may have to hide the horror movies just so you pick a different one

He was just happy that he could now tell his brother that he watched a horror movie

Tanjiro

He didn’t mind you wanting to watch a horror movie, he admitted that he was a little nervous but he would do it for you

He made sure Nezuko was with Mitsuri that way she wouldn’t see something that she didn’t want to see and have nightmares

He also made it clear that you could tell him to stop the movie whenever you wanted

As you both watched the movie, he always felt the need to hold his breath whenever the suspense started to build up

He flinched at some parts of the movie but still watched

If a part ever scared you, he would pause the TV and confirm that you want to continue or stop

If you wished to continue watching, he would start it and let you know that you could stop again

No matter how many times you wanted to pause, he would never get annoyed because he wanted you to be comfortable

When it was over and if you were scared to sleep, he would sing you lullabies to help you sleep

If you had nightmares, he would ensure you that they weren’t real and would even buy a night light for you

Zenitsu

He would be 100% opposed to the idea

He kept going on and on about how scary and real they looked

He would try everything and anything to change your mind but since you were so persistent about it, he reluctantly gave up

The whole time, he tightly clinged onto you and screamed loud whenever there was a jumpscare

He kept throwing accusations about who the killer might be and buried his face into your neck whenever he didn’t want to see a part because he felt like a jumpscare would come soon

When it finally ended he kept complaining on how it was the scariest thing he’d ever witnessed and would beg you to never make him watch another horror movie ever again

If the end credits said, “Based on a true story“, his heart would literally drop right then and there

He would shriek at the slightest movement or sound for the next couple of days

Every night before bed, he would check to closet, under the bed, and make sure the doors and windows were locked and secured

If he ever had a nightmare, he would wake up screaming which obviously caused you to wake up and you would have to comfort him and explain that it was fake

Inosuke

He would immediately agree because he claimed he wasn’t scared of anything especially a movie that was fake

Throughout the movie, he kept forgetting that the character in the movie couldn’t hear him so he kept trying to tell the character what to do, “DON’T GO IN THERE!” “LOOK BEHIND YOU IDIOT OR YOU’RE GOING TO DIE!” 

Whenever a character died, he would laugh like a maniac and go on about how stupid they were for not listening to him

He would make fun of the killer and go on about how he would obviously overpower the killer

At the most suspenseful parts, he would grab your shirt and shake you like crazy while watching the movie and be like, “OOOOO WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN? WILL THEY DIE, ARE THEY THE REAL KILLER?!”

When the movie ends, he will insist that you watch another one to see if the characters in that movie will be smarter and listen to him

He will never understand the fact that the people in the movie can’t hear him let alone listen to him

And there he is, Muichiro in his too adorable, oversized purple hoodie in which Genya almost lost his mind when he realized that it was the one missing from his closet.

His teal shorts, the same color as the tips of his hair, reach past his thighs and just stops a few inches above his knees. On his feet are a pair of white, casual loafers that Genya painted a pattern of watermelon slices on.

As if this one hundred sixty centimeter of pure cuteness standing in front of him wasn't enough to make him spontaneously combust on the spot, a large pool floatie (big enough for two) is strapped on his back, easily dwarfing him even more.

"Mui!" Genya beams happily, leaning down to give his boyfriend a kiss on the forehead.

Muichiro pouts then purses his lips.

"Oh." Genya chuckles fondly before capturing Muichiro's lips in a proper kiss. He quickly pulled away upon realizing Sanemi's words earlier. "Baby, about what my brother said.." A finger stops him from saying anything further.

"Nah. I know it's just how he speaks." Muichiro flashes him a reassuring smile. "We've been together long enough to know that you treasure me, Genya."

-excerpt from 'Nii-chan's Cute Boyfriend' an unfinished fic,

Sometimes, I read my drafts and I just want to get lost, hike up a mountain, type on a shoreline or just sit where I could have all the time in the world to finish my Genmui fanfics gathering cobwebs in my documents. I fvking hate being an adultand the expectations that I should be the one fixing everyone's problems.

DEMON SLAYER HEADCANONS except it's stupid things I've done as a child

Basically what the title says, this is a little chaotic and it made me realise that I was a seriously weird kid😭 repost cause smth went wrong!!

-------------------------~★★★~-------------------------

🩷 Zenitsu once saw an open chocolate bar on the table and decided to take a small bit out of it. He then realised that it was one of those nasty yogurt health bars, he threw up afterwards

(he blamed the missing bite on inosuke afterwards).

🩷 Mitsuri was sort of a pick me as she would say things like "Only guys get my humour" or "Guys are much less drama" just so she could get more guys attention...

🩷 Inosuke ran into a road filled with driving cars when he was two, his care taker had to run and beg cars to stop driving so he could get hold of inosuke. Inosuke was somehow unharmed.

🩷 Sanemi once got so angry at Genya when they were younger that Sanemi took Genya's tablet and punched the screen so hard until it broke.

🩷 Genya thoroughly enjoyed eating lip balm, he still to this day will have a habit of licking his lips immediately after applying some

🩷 Muichirou was terrified of FNAF and Yuichirou would often hide in his closet at night and would jump out at him like that one foxy jumpscare😭. Muichirou did not feel safe at night afterwards...

🩷 Obanai was scared shitless of cats when he was younger and once when he saw a cat on the sidewalk he was walking on he ran into the road screaming to the other side of the road to get away from it.

🩷 Nezuko refuses to sleep at night unless it is with all of her toys, even those small plastic ones because she feared they would all feel left out and stop liking her which made her sad :(

🩷 Tanjiro had a similar problem but with his crayons. He would make sure to use all of them in a picture when he was younger so each crayon felt good abou themselves, even the white one😭

🩷 Uzui once saw a cute girl that was waaaaay too old for him at a gathering his parents brought him to. (He was 5 she was 16). He spent the whole night trying to look cool Infront of her and when it was time to go he fully believed they were gonna get married...

It took him 20 years to realize that he was at a family gathering and that the girl was his distant cousin whom he never saw again

🩷 Giyuu got in trouble often because he would always doodle over his work in school.

🩷 Once Genya made a small house in Minecraft that he was extremely proud of. Sanemi then got onto Minecraft and made a whole fucking castle just so he could put Genya in his place.

🩷 Akaza spent many of his days in class imagining how if there was an ambush of big men attacking the classroom he would go super saiyan and be able to take them all on in hand to hand combat. He was five.

🩷 Shinobu had a Gacha channel where she made those "doing your dares" videos with her oc's. She even had her own edgy boyfriend oc for her oc.

🩷 Muichirou for some reason memorised the whole Cat In the Hat movie script and would take videos of himself saying it word for word.

🩷 Rengoku helped a little girl go down a slide because it was obvious that she was scared. After that she then followed Rengoku everywhere until her dad took her home <3

🩷 Shinobu was caught watching gay ship amvs of her favourite cartoon on her tablet by Kanae. She cried the whole day, begging Kanae not to get her in trouble.

🩷 When Genya was little there was this small bowl and spoon that they would dish sugar out of. Genya would take that spoonful of sugar and eat it secretly. He was immediately caught because the spoon would be wet from his drool💀

🩷 Shinobu once got so pissed at kanae she " ran away from home" with a little suitcase filled with clothes. She really just went to the backyard where she sat down in the cold and finally went back in when Kanae called for dinner.

🩷 At night Inosuke would act all crazy and insane before bed so the " demons under his bed" knew that he was on their side💀

🩷 Giyuu was told by his sister that "God can make anything happen" in an uplifting way but instead it made Giyuu paranoid that a tsunami would come out of no where just to spite him for being naughty.

🩷 Sanemi purposefully stepped on a jelly fish at the beach and somehow didn't get stung...(im so sorry)

-------------------------~★★★~-------------------------

Yeah lol, that's it. I never realized I was a pretty odd felow

[definitelynotgideon]

(Milo Kocho au cause why not-)

*Gideon is at the butterfly mansion and he hasn’t seen Milo yet. He’s been there for a while so it’s a bit concerning that he hasn’t at least crossed paths with her. He walks by a blanket closet and hears the soft vibrations of Milo purring. When he opens the door, Milo is in her small form and asleep in the pile of blankets. There are stray tears are her cheeks, signaling she either got stressed or scared*

Gideon was, indeed, concerned.

The caterpillars had been talking about Milo having been there earlier but they didn't know where she had gone. He remembered the little Yokai from earlier, as he'd helped her escape a man she was afraid of.

He'd come in that day for a regular checkup, hoping to bump into Genya but he must have missed him. And so... As he wandered the halls of the mansion (because lol he was waiting for night time to settle - he wouldn't run into butterflies at night), he heard an odd but very familiar purring from a blanket closet.

Sure enough, there was Milo. Asleep and purring to herself for comfort as cats and catlike beings could do.

Deciding not to move her, he went to gather up one of the caterpillars to show them where she was resting.

"I'd feel bad, disturbing her from sleep..." He explained softly. "Since she's a Yokai she can shift in size. It's probably why you couldn't find her right away."

*sigh* another crack au that i'm totally going to have to write one day

Otherwise known as the Genmui Rapunzel au.

Long ago, a drop of moonlight on a misty night fell from the sky and produced a magic flower called the blue spider lily that was said to have healing properties.

A notorious man named Kokushibo hid the flower and used it to retain his youth and beauty. Centuries later, the flower was taken by soldiers from the nearby kingdom of Corona and used to save their pregnant and ailing Queen, who gave birth to a son with teal hair, named Muichiro. Kokushibo snuck into the castle and discovered that Muichiro's hair had inherited the flower's magic, but turns brown and powerless when cut.

To keep the flower's magic, Kokushibo kidnapped Muichiro and now raises him in a hidden tower in the woods. Each year on their daughter's birthday, the king and queen release sky lanterns hoping they will guide her home.

Meanwhile, thief Genya Shinizugawa, steals Muichiro's intended crown from the palace; to prove to his older brother who abadoned him that he was useful. He is then relentlessly pursued by a infamous guard-horse brothers named the Hantengu. Genya discovers and takes refuge in the tower, where Muichiro, of course knocks him out with a frying pan and hides him in a closet. When Muichiro attempts to show him to Kokushibo as proof she can defend herself, he forgets (because its of couse) and Muichiro instead asks for a sword as a gift, sending Kokushibo on a three-day journey.

Genya then reveals himself again, causing Muichiro to nearly knock him out once more. However Muichiro hides the crown, and strikes a deal with Genya, promising to return it in exchange for him taking her to see the lanterns, since Muichiro has always been obsessed with them. A companionship is formed.

or in a more cracky sense, lets look at some incorrect quotes I made that sum up this story.

Genya climbing up the tower: Who are you? Muichiro weilding a pan: a fair maiden of course

and

Genya: You dont remember me? Muichiro: No? Genya: You knocked me out with a pan and hid me in a closet. Muichiro: Oh yeah *raises his pan again* Genya: no no No NO!

and

Kokushibo: Muichiro is my son, but also my descendent. Kokushibo: But he sometimes forgets the last part Genya: I would want to forget that too.

On a more sweeter note, just imagine Genya brushing out Muichiro's long hair! And then braiding flowers and spider lilies into the teal of his strands.

like are you seeing my vision or do i have to hit you over with a pan to hallucinate it?

A Loner's Unexpected Journey, Part 8

Kimetsu Academy!Genya Shinazugawa X Fem!Reader

Summary: Genya calls his brother and you call it a night. Morning is pretty pleasing also, but then you go to Shinazugawa household and while Genya is packing, you have a talk with his big brother, your math teacher Sanemi.

Warnings: None

A/N: Modern!AU, Kimetsu Academy, Female Reader, Genya Shinazugawa, Sanemi Shinazugawa

PART 1 II PART 2 II PART 3 II PART 4 II PART 5 II PART 6 II PART 7 II PART 8 II PART 9 II PART 10 II PART 11 II PART 12 II PART 13 II PART 14 II PART 15 II PART 16 II PART 17 II PART 18

Sir Sanemi, Genya's big brother and your math teacher had been weirdly… Understanding when his little brother had called him with your phone and told him that he would stay at your place.

You did hear the teacher shout through the phone, "How dare you be a burden to young lady, you shithead!?" before Genya closed the phone. He turned to look at you and returned your phone back to you.

"Well… Did that go well?" You asked and he actually nodded with a small smile, "Yeah, surprisingly well."

"Alright," You nodded as you got up from the couch and headed towards the bathroom, "I'm gonna put your clothes in the washing machine and then I'll make you a bed on the couch."

"C- Can I help anyway?" Your partner asked and you shook your head with a small smile, "Nah, you've gone through pretty much today already. Just make yourself comfortable."

Genya looked like he wanted to argue, but ultimately his shyness beat him and instead, he decided to pet Lady, who loved all the attention she was getting from your partner.

It didn't take long to put the clothes in the washing machine and you actually had some extra pillows and blanket in your closet. You did ask Genya if he could help you get the blanket into a duvet cover, so while he held the blanket up, you made sure to get it inside the pretty duvet cover.

Opening your couch was no problem either and after putting on some sheets you had a pretty decent bed for him. You smiled at Genya, "I don't mean to brag, but I think I have the best sofa bed in the whole city."

Your partner nodded as he tested the bed with his hand and he nodded with a small smile, "Thank you one more time… You're too kind for me."

"You deserve some kindness," You said with a smile, "It's Saturday tomorrow so get some rest, and we can go get some of your stuff tomorrow?"

"Sounds like a plan," Genya nodded and as he made himself comfortable on the couch, you were about to go and change in your room, but he quickly called after you, "Good night!"

"Good night Genya." You smiled as you closed the door, "Sleep tight."

The next day came and you overslept a little, but you were pretty sure that Genya was still sleeping. As you dressed up, you wondered what you should make for breakfast when you smelled something… Coffee in the air!

You stepped out of your room and you were ready to greet Genya, but you noticed that he was not on the sofa bed anymore. No, the whole thing had been returned to its original couch state and Lady was sleeping there, resting on the spot where the light shined through the window.

"Genya?" You called and you got a quick reply, "In the kitchen!"

You followed his voice and there he was, putting cups and the kettle full of coffee on the small dining table.

"I- I hope you don't mind me using your kitchen?" He asked shyly and you shook your head, but you had to cover your mouth because the smile that broke out felt like it could split your face in half. Genya looked so freaking adorable while wearing your rose-covered frilly apron.

"I- I don't mind…!" You said, but he didn't seem to believe you, "Are you sure? You are acting a little weird…?"

"I'm sorry," You apologized as you lowered your hands and smiled, "You just look so cute in my apron."

"No, I'm sorry, I wanted to make you something to eat and I saw this hanging and I figured that maybe you use one when cooking and such…?"

"You're so sweet." You smiled as you took a seat by the table. As soon as you sat down, Genya brought everything you might have needed to enjoy your coffee like milk and sugar.

"Thank you, Genya." You thanked him as you prepared the coffee just the way you would enjoy it most. The young man smiled shyly as he walked to the stove and brought you a plate filled with scrambled eggs and some toast.

"I made you something…"

You could get used to having someone make you breakfast. The last time anyone made you breakfast was… Too long ago to be properly remembered anymore…

"Thank you, Genya," You smiled happily, "This is so sweet. You're so sweet."

"This is the least I can do for you after you took me in…" He replied bashfully as he took his own plate of food, and sat opposite of you before he poured himself some coffee.

"Genya, you don't need to feel like you owe me your life or something huge like that." You said as you sipped your coffee, "I… I love you so I want you to be happy."

"Me too." He nodded before shaking his head, "No, I mean-! I love you too and want you to be happy also!"

"Trust me, I am." You smiled as you glanced at Lady over your shoulder, who was still enjoying the sun rays, "Has Lady eaten yet?"

"I fed her as soon as I woke up," Genya replied as he sipped his own coffee and you smiled as the two of you started to enjoy the eggs and toast. Once you were done with your breakfast, Genya moved to clean, but you stopped him.

"Nope, I'm cleaning since you made breakfast!" You snapped as you left no room for argument. Your partner nodded as you grabbed your plates and mugs and put them in the dishwasher.

"My brother is probably expecting me already." Genya said and you nodded, "Okay, I'll come help you with your stuff. Do we need a taxi?"

"No, I don't own that much stuff so I should be able to carry them myself." He replied and you glanced at him over your shoulder, "You do know that I'm going to carry something also, right?"

"You really don't need to-!" He tried to object but you shook your head," Nope, I want to help!"

Genya looked like he wanted to object but by now he knew that you could be really stubborn. Finally, he sighed, "Alright."

"Good." You nodded, pleased with yourself, "Your clothes should be dry by now so you can change if you want. I doubt you want to be seen in a Walking Dead shirt?"

"Why not?" He asked and you blinked in slight confusion, "Because… Uh… I actually don't know?"

"It's okay, I'll go change." Genya got up and went to your bathroom to change. While he was there you finished cleaning the kitchen and once you were done with that, you went to pet Lady, who looked at you tiredly before she meowed.

"I'm nervous, Lady. Living with Genya?" You whispered, "I'm a little afraid, but also really excited."

She meowed and you smiled as you scratched her from behind her ear, "But I do really like him a lot."

Lady purred as you petted her and soon you heard the bathroom's door click open, and Genya stepped out in the same clothes he wore last night when he left home, "M- my clothes, they-!"

"What, what's wrong?"

"N- Nothing!" Genya stuttered as he blushed, "They are just really soft and smell like you now…"

"Ah, I'm sorry-!" You were going to apologize for using fabric softener but he quickly shook his head furiously, "No, I mean, I love it!" He confessed, "They smell really nice… Make me happy…"

"Oh?" You blushed a little as you averted your gaze. Genya thought you smelled nice…!

"Oh yeah, we need to get you shoes!" You quickly got up and went to search through your closet if there were any shoes he could wear even if just temporarily. That's when you found your age-old cheap Crocs.

"Ah ha!" You cheered as you offered the shoes to him, "Try these!"

Genya nodded and while the shoes were big for you, they were barely large enough for him. You frowned, "We can take a taxi if you can't walk-!"

"No, I can walk!" He exclaimed stubbornly, "So, let's go?"

"Okay." You nodded as you went to pick up your phone and keys and the two of you left. The walk wasn't awful but you kept worrying about how teacher Sanemi would react when hearing that his younger brother would move in with you.

Finally, you made it to the row house area where Genya and Sanemi lived. You were going to knock, but just before your knuckles could make contact with the door, it slid open and Sir Sanemi himself stood there, glaring at you and Genya.

"S- Sir Shinazugawa?" You yelped and the man nodded before he looked his younger brother over your shoulder, "Shithead."

"M- morning, big brother." Genya swallowed nervously, "I just… Came to get my stuff."

"Then go and then get the fuck out," Sir Sanemi snapped and Genya flinched as he quickly entered the house and left you alone with his pretty scary older brother.

"So… Genya is going to live with me…?"

"Looks like it."

"Okay…" You swallowed nervously, "I'm sorry, sir, I know you must be angry at me and I don't blame you-!"

"I'm not angry at you." The scarred teacher said and you blinked in shock, "Y- you aren't?"

"No, I'm not." He scowled, "I think you are a good influence on my little brother. He is happier than I've ever seen him be."

"Wow… Thank you, sir."

"Here." The man reached for his pocket and pulled out a wad of money that he tried to push to you, "I know this isn't much, but it should cover at least a month's worth of my brother's expenses."

"Sir!" You gasped as you pushed the money back at him, "I refuse to take any of that!"

"Why not!?" He snapped at you, "It's honest good money!"

"But I don't need it!" You frowned, "Genya is going to help me around the house and that is enough for me!"

"That boy eats like a horse!" Shinazugawa shouted and you shook your head stubbornly as you refused the money, "And I'll feed him, but not with your money!"

"Tch, stubborn and on top of it too kind for your own good…" The man grumbled as he put the money away, "No wonder my brother likes you so much…"

"I love him also." You said and you were actually a little horrified that you had said that to his protective older brother…!

…But instead of getting mad… He smiled?

"Just… Take good care of him. And make sure he studies hard! His math sucks!"

"I promise, I will." You promised with your whole heart. The teacher nodded, pleased with your answers and Genya came back just in time with his suitcase packed to the brim and he had his own shoes back on again.

"Okay… I'm leaving big brother…" He mumbled as he stepped past his brother and stood behind you, "I guess we will see each other at school?"

"Damn right, we will!" Sanemi snapped and looked at you, "I trust him to you now."

"I'll do my best, sir!" You nodded, a gesture that the teacher returned before he looked at Genya over your head and shouted, "Oi, shithead! You better not cause any trouble to your girlfriend!"

"I- I won't!" Genya shouted back and the older Shinazugawa glared at his younger brother, "And you better ask her permission before you kiss or do anything else! You might be in love, but that is no excuse to get kids this early in life!"

"SIR!?"

"BROTHER!?" You and Genya shouted out loud together and the damn teacher of yours had the guts to look smug. "Tch, brats like you are so easy to tease!"

"O- okay, see you at school, sir!" You waved as you grabbed Genya's hand and started to walk towards your little apartment- No. Your and Genya's home.

[princeblue]

Not that anyone cares at all but im gonna tell yall anyway, so if you wanna know (just shut up and listen to me) what I headcanon modern fem-genya to wear it’s clothing like these!

Very very long skirts, she always liked skirts imo because they were easy to run in and cheaper than pants, but as she got older and taller she moved to ankle/knee length skirts, usually second hand bought, when she outgrows her old skirts she always gives them Teiko or Sumi, or takes them to a place like platos closet to get some extra bucks or donates them.

Super comfy and big sweaters, not even just sweaters but baggy shirts or tank tops, usually they’re just shirts she either stole from sanemi or the ones he left behind until he came and got her to take her to kimetsu academy, and in the summer she still wears her long skirts but wears lighter shirts and flipflops/airy tenner shoes.

She still really likes to wear all her secondhand/thrifted stuff, even though sanemi gets frustrated over it sometimes because he regularly offers or forces her to go shopping for new clothes.

The school uniform at school being shorter than her regular skirts used to make her uncomfortable, even if she wore tights. So sanemi ordered/customized some longer skirts because he’s a good big brother. :3!!

Ch-5~New times, same old rivalry~

Anaya got out of her bed as soon as she heard the first knock on her door. Maybe living in the barrel had made her lose all her ability of getting a sound sleep, or maybe the demons of her past would simply not allow her to. She opened the door to find that her kefta had arrived. The maid left as soon as she handed it over to her. She freshened up and put on some of the clothes that had been in her closet. She wore a pair of black trousers, a dark blue shirt on top and a pair of combat boots.  She put her hair in a perfectly secured braid and finally put on her kefta. It was royal blue in colour, with pale blue embroidery, so as to represent her grisha type.

She got out of her room and moved hesitantly in the halls, observing the area around her. She finally met Genya in the corridors after wandering on her own for a while.

"Oh good you're here. Does your kefta fit you well?" Genya asked her, as soon as she saw her

"Yeah, it's alright" she replied, taking a quick glance at her sleeves

"Well, you have your training with Botkin right now, so I'll escort you to the training yard myself, assuming you don't remember your way around here"

So she knew about her history. The darkling must've told her, Anaya thought to herself. Though Genya was right, she did remember how the little palace had looked like, but had forgotten her way around the halls and corridors.

She let Genya take her to the training ground, and she vanished as soon as they reached their destination.  The area almost looked the same as she'd remembered. Botkin, the trainer, speaking in his Shu accent, and the ugly scar still clearly visible on his throat.  He'd trained the grisha in combat, and never allowed them to use their abilities, so as to have a fair training. Botkin glanced at her as soon as she entered the ground.

"What is your name, new girl?" he asked her

"Anaya Nasrazeen" she spoke in a confident voice as he folded her arms behind her back

Everyone stopped doing their work and began to look at her with faces full of surprise and astonishment. But one girl had been looking at her with a mysterious gaze. Her perfect wavy black hair tucked behind her ears, her brown skin and blue yes shining brightly. It didn't take her long to realize that this was Zoya Nazyalensky.

Zoya was her rival, her nemesis, and her competitor in basically everything. Everything one of them did good, the other did it better. The biggest goal in their lives had only been to be better than the other, and they never wasted a breath to mock each other when they'd win something the other didn't.

"I don't care who you're child of, I only care whether you fight or not" Botkin told her. "Pick an opponent".

"Her" she glanced at Zoya and slightly tilted her head to her side

Zoya gave her a slight smirk before stepping infront of her. The both stood facing each other, with one foot  in front and their wrists enclosed. "Fighters ready, Fight!" Botking spoke and Zoya threw a punch towards her, but Anaya moved her head to the side and dodged it. She brought up her left arm and  grabbed zoya's arm, but she thrashed it away. She then swung her right arm towards Anaya but she jabbed it hard with her elbow, and knocked her hard in the stomach. Zoya quickly regained her balance and kicked her knee, making her stumble. Anaya quickly planted her feet and threw a punch at Zoya's left arm and moved her left leg towards hers, but Zoya locked their legs with her right one and grabbed her left elbow, making them both spin around. Anaya threw her left arm towards her and she lowered her head to dodge it and hit her arm as she moved herself up. She tried punching her back, but Anaya moved to the side and grabbed her arm. Zoya halted behind her, with her arm still in her grasp, and clutched her neck with her free elbow. Anaya bought her arm and hit her in the stomach with her elbow. She locked her leg to Zoya's, in attempt to make her fall, but she hit her with her elbow, making them both spin around. Both of them reached for each other's throat and clutched their other arm on top of the one on their necks.

"Pleasured to finally get the opportunity to kick your ass again, Nasrazeen" Zoya gave her a smirk as she loosened the grip on her throat

"Equally displeasured to get the sight of your devilish grin again, Nazyalensky" Anaya replied, returning her gesture

[where-theres-smoak-2]

There's something chosen that I've always found ridiculous about the Grisha Trilogy ending.

This detail saying that if the grisha children from Alina's orphanage wouldn't like to be at the Little Palace, they could come back and live at the orphanage...

And I was like : What ?! But that's stupid !

And how exactly will they learn to master their powers after they return ?

This is the open door for accidents !

Either that or they won't use their powers anymore and will be sickly like Alina was. (which makes me wonder how she could tolerate that...) Or even WORSE... Alina would be THE one teaching them ?!

Yeah this made no sense to me either. The same with getting rid of the coloured keftas. I do think it was more of an attempt to make irrelevant things the darkling's fault.

With the grisha don't need to go to the LP thing I do think that is a recipe for disaster, a grisha who can't control their powers is a dangerous thing. I get what LB was trying to do it's the whole grisha shouldn't be forced to serve in the military and service of the king, that the new regime is better than what the evil darkling had going on because now grisha have a choice. Unfortunately this contradicts the previous canon set up in the trilogy because the LP was just the place where grisha went to learn to control and develop their powers, plus hand to hand combat, it was a safe place for them built by Aleks. He wasn't the one forcing them into military service, that was the king, the same king who also forced the otkazat'sya into service in the first army as we learn when Ana Kuya tells alina to keep a pen in her hand or else someone will put a rifle in it. This is you know kind of what happens when countries are at war.

If it really is about allowing the grisha a choice then I think they should at least set up some system where an official goes around and checks that the grisha child has someone capable of adequately teaching them how to control their powers, if there is then they get some kind of pass that allows them to stay home, if not then they have to go to the LP at least until they have learnt enough control over their powers that they won't accidently harm someone or get the wasting sickness.

Then there's the whole kefta thing, again its this alina is better than the darkling because he segregated the grisha orders but alina is going to have them all united with no heirachy. Now I will agree that in the books there was a problem with heirachy within the ranks of the grisha with the Corporalki being at the top and the durasts at the bottom. Again it is painted like this is Aleks' fault, but actually Aleks is shown on several occasions to view all grisha as equal. Like when he praises david in ep 6 when he says he can track Alina through a ring given to her, Aleks says proving once again the many uses of a durast showing that he does recognise the worth of durasts. Also look at who his closets grisha are, its all those who feel out of place or don't quite fit in, David who struggles to socialise with others and is very awkward, Genya again someone who is often shunned, Ivan who doesn't seem to like anybody but fedyor and doesn't seem to be liked by anyone but fedyor. Fruzsi who was sold by her family, Vladim who was used by his village to their own advantage. For him it was important that all grisha knew there worth whether they fit in or not. This rivalry amongst the grisha ranks seemed to appear on its own. Also strategically the coloured keftas are helpful, when you are on a battlefield or in a fight you are going to want to be able to quickly locate whatever type of grisha you need. The coloured kefta aides in this. For example say an enemy throws a smoke bomb and you need a squaller to clear the smoke its going to be easier to look around for that blue kefta and go ok there is one so and so yards away its going to take them x number of minutes to reach us and then allow you to adapt your plan/strategy accordingly. If everyone is wearing the same colour kefta then that task becomes more difficult, you are going to spend more time trying to locate the squaller which gives your enemies more time to act.

Inej: alright, there is just room for one on the carriage, the rest of you will have to wait until we come back with more

Kaz: You have to take me, it´s a matter of time before Genya Safin notices i stole Santka Alina´s portra-you already decided not to pick me, right?

Inej: yes

Kaz: Fair

Jesper: Inej, i am skinny and Wylan is small, you can take us both

Inej: Who is after you?

Wylan: It was Jesper´s fault! We were talking to the queen and she said "i like to be on top of things" and then Jesper (after i begged not to do it) pointed at the king and said "Except on him"-

Jesper: Then she frowned which made Wylan freak out and drop a smoke curtain, except if was actually a painting bomb and it ruined King Nikolai´s new suit. Beat that guys

Nina: I surely will, Inej you have to take me; i ate the biscuits of a basquet thinking they were free samples and turns out those were a gift Leoni did for Adrik

Jesper: How is that worse than our thing?

Nina: Because Wylan and you may die gunned down by the king or eaten by a dragon, but me? Adrik is going to scold me until i die out of boredom, thats thousands way worse

Hanne: Also there is the thing that she singed me to create a distraction and i panicked and trew out the king´s birthday cake to give Nina time to run , but i can wait

Kuwei: just take anyone , but get out of my closet! (you better pay me for not ratting all of you out)

Matthias: Well, if we are going for who screwed it up the most, it was probably me for thinking i could go to the bathroom for three minutes with no consequences of letting you unsupervised

Genmui shortfic(again):’Damn you both..’

If you dont like the ship then DNI(AU where yui lived?!)

Muichiro had just finished training with his friend Genya walking around aimlessly thinking about something to do. Suddenly he remembered that his twin, Yuichiro was out training and he would still train for a long time as he knew his schedule. He stopped for a moment as he thougt about it, and around this time he would only be halfway done with the training. This means that he and his friend would be able to do whatever. He thougt to himself while the other one also stopped, a bit worried as to why they stopped. “Muichiro is everything alright? Why did we stop?” He asked his thougts were filled with worry. “My brother is just training right now, and we could do whatever in me and my brother’s estate if you want.” The shorter one replied a warm smile on his face. Genya was a little shocked but was also happy to hear this “Well then, how about we just cuddle and drink something? I’m quite tired, and you probably are too because of how long we spent training.” He said being mindful about the fact that they spent hours training with barely any breaks. “Hm, great idea! Come on then, let’s go!” Muichiro replied in a cheerful tone as he quickly took the other’s hand, speeding his pace up, being very excited.

Finally, the both of them arrived after around 5 minutes of running. “Well, this it.” Muichiro said catching his breath as he walked near the front door and took his shoes off as he opened the door. Genya followed taking his shoes off aswell, stepping inside after the shorter boy infront of him. The inside look organised and calm, there wasn’t anything that was dirty or messy which was a nice sight to see. “So what would you like to drink?” Muichiro asked as he looked up to his friend who thougt about it for a moment, but decided to reply still “I think some water with ice is fine, don’t you think?” He asked trying not to tire the other one more by preparing difficult drinks. “Alright then, my room is upstairs on the right, we’ll hangout there okay?” He asked as the other nodded and followed his instructions. Up the stairs, and to the right. He was a bit hesitant but opened the door, and it was quite a nice sight. Muichiro’s room was also very organised, a desk where he kept some papers and some plants. He also had a walk-in closet(idk if these existed at that time but pretend they did😭). He quietly took a seat on the futon as he waited. Muichiro arrived with two cups, one noticeably larger then the other as he gave his friend the cup. The both of them enjoyed the cold and refreshing drink, altho it was simple. Afterwards they placed the cups on the desk quietly as they got comfortable. Genya was quietly sitting on the futon while his friend was sitting in his laps being embraced from the behind. It was nice and calm, time seemed like it has stopped as the taller boy buried his chin in the other’s hair, occasionally playing with his beautiful black locks. Soon, the both of them fell asleep like this, forgetting about the other twin, Yuichiro.

The front door opened as Yuichiro stepped in the house still being tidy like nothing happened. He walked in the kitchen as he grabbed a cup, and noticed two were gone. ‘Maybe he brought someone, better not be that mohawk boy.’ He thougt to himself as he filled the cup with some water and drank it like nothing. He placed it down as he took a more thorough look on the house, nothing was wrong, as he started walking up the stairs. He went over to his brother’s room to see him cuddling and sleeping with Genya ‘Just great.’ He thougt to himself as he walked in and yelled at the taller boy. “Get off of my brother! Didn’t I tell you to stop getting close with him?” He asked as both of them woke up but Genya was quick to react, as he got up. “Well, he wanted me to come here, so it’s not really my fault, isn’t it?” He asked as the older twin grittted his teeth “Just get out of the house now! You are not allowed here ever again with my permission.” He said as his younger twin was a little sad and tried to fight back. “Nii-san please! This won’t happen again just don’t kick him out. It’s already late!” He asked, maybe he would let his friend stay. “I don’t care! Just get out and never speak to me or my twin again!” He yelled as the taller boy was quick to reply “Fine, don’t get surprised if your brother won’t talk to you after this tho.” He said, as he left the room and could be heard leaving. Yuichiro went over to his brother and hugged him, who slightly pushed him away, refusing to talk.

Great job Yuichiro, your brother won’t talk to you for hours now.
