You are a low-ranking demon slayer, one who has never slain a demon yourself. Each mission ended with your companions standing victorious - never you. Now healing at the Butterfly Estate, you try to repay kindness with effort, scrubbing bloodstains, replanting flowers, and hauling supplies, hoping not to be a burden. But you are not as invisible as you think. You may not see yourself as a fighter, but they do. ___________________________________________________ ๐ธ Tanjiro Kamado โ โKindness is Not Measured in Kills.โ
Tanjiro noticed you the way he noticed a falling petalโquiet, soft, easily overlooked by others but impossible for him to ignore. You were always moving at the Butterfly Estate, mopping floors, washing linens, bringing tea to the sick and bandaging up the wounded even though you wore a few bandages yourself.
You weren't loud about your efforts. You never boasted. In fact, you often lowered your eyes when others spoke of battle victories. He overheard one slayer whisper, โShe hasn't even killed a demon before.โ
That made his heart ache.
He found you in the garden one afternoon, quietly sweeping up fallen cherry blossoms with a woven broom, your fingers trembling just slightly from exhaustion. You looked up when he approached, startled, but gave him a shy nod.
โYou do so much around here,โ he said warmly. โYou do not have to push yourself this hard.โ
โIโฆ I do not want to be a burden,โ you murmured. โEveryone else is stronger. Braver. I justโฆ help however I can.โ
Tanjiro shook his head. โDon't say that. Helping others is its' own kind of strength.โ He crouched beside you and smiled, voice gentle. โYou save lives here. You bring peace. Thatโs not freeloading. Thatโs being part of the fight.โ
And when he helped you to your feet, his fingers lingered around yours.

โก Zenitsu Agatsuma โ โDon't Sell Yourself ShortโThatโs My Job!โ
Zenitsu first noticed you when you accidentally dropped a stack of clean laundry right in front of him, scrambled to pick it up, and apologized like you had committed a crime. His heart stuttered in his chest. Not just because you were cute (you were), but because you looked so genuinely afraid of being in someoneโs way.
You reminded himโฆ a little too much of himself kinda.
Later that day, he found you in the hallway trying to scrub blood out of a uniform sleeve, muttering to yourself about not doing enough. He knelt beside you, hands full of soap.
โNeed help?โ he offered. Then, a beat later, โPlease say yes. Iโm actually good at laundry. One of the few things Iโm confident in.โ
You blinked at him in surprise. โReally?โ
โYeah. And youโre not giving yourself enough credit,โ he said quickly, eyes wide with sincerity. โJust because you havenโt killed a demon yet doesnโt mean youโre not a slayer. Youโre still here. Youโre still trying. Thatโs more than most.โ
You looked down, a little flustered. โโฆThank you, Zenitsu.โ
He turned bright red. โY-You know my name?!?โ
You smiled. โOf course I do.โ
Zenitsu nearly fainted on the spot.

๐ Inosuke Hashibira โ โWhy Are You Hiding That Youโre Cool?โ
You were carrying a tray of rice bowls when Inosuke barreled past you in the hallway, nearly knocking it all over. You did not scold him, just carefully knelt and picked it up again. He paused. Watched. Grunted.
The next day, you were cleaning out the koi pond, knee-deep in water, humming a little song to yourself. He watched again from the roof.
โYou!โ he finally said later, when he cornered you outside the kitchen. โWhy are you hiding that youโre cool?โ
You blinked, confused. โIโฆ I do not think I am.โ
โYeah, well I do!โ he said, pointing at you with two chopsticks. โYou carry heavy buckets. You work like a demon. You are sneaky quiet but fast. Thatโs awesome.โ
You laughed, just a little. โI don't think that makes me cool.โ
โThen you are wrong!โ he declared proudly. โYouโre just like a stealthy boar. Likeโlike a forest ghost. I have decided you are in my pack now!โ
โโฆYour pack?โ
โYes. So you have to eat meals with me from now on.โ
You smiled, ducking your head. โAlright, then. Deal.โ

Synopsis: You discover a hidden spot in the mansion where Quicksilver goes to think. He shows it to you, and as you share secrets, the tension builds, leading to a soft, stolen kiss.
Warnings: Maybe some cursing, besides that, just fluff! โ๏ธ๐ฉท
You wandered through the surprisingly quiet halls of the X-Mansion, trying to find something to do on this slow day. You were about to walk past a small hallway but stopped, seeing a light under a door. Peter's door. It's not unusual for him to be up at this time, but something was off. You pressed your ear to the door, hearing some light curses and shuffling.
"Peter?" You knocked on the door, it creaking open. You saw Peter half-way out of his window with the all-too familiar silver jacket basically glowing in the moonlight. "Hey, baby- What do you need?" Peter cocked a smile on his face, now sitting on his windowsill. "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself or something?" You walked in and shut the door, crossing your arms. "Just uh- looking at the moon. Mhm. Yep." Peter didn't even believe his own lie. How could he lie when you were standing right in front of him in your cute pajamas and the sleepy look on your face. "Mhm. Tell me the truth, Peter." He sighed and stood up, taking your hand. "Why use words when I can show you?" You were about to respond before he held the back of your head and speed through the house.
Before you knew it, you were outside.
"Peter, what are you-" He sped you into a small clubhouse. It was a cozy room filled with music players and dirty clothes. "I'd hope no one would find this place, but since I'm showing it to you, you're not finding it." Peter laid down into the beanbag chair, you sitting in the small chair in front of him. "Why keep this place hidden? Too small for anyone else?" You smiled, leaning back a bit. "That and I come here to be alone sometimes. I like having a big-mutant family and all but... It's a bit much with everyone. Sometimes a guy just needs-"
"A place too think."
"Mm... Yeah. You get it?" Peter cocked his neck to the side, his silver hair moving and settling into place. Damn, why did it take you this long to realize he was cute? Well- You've had thoughts before. But never so... vivid. "Yeah, sometimes it's a bit much. The talking, the fighting, the crowed hallways. Why do you think my headphones are basically attached to me?"
You chuckled, the tension easing as you exchanged glances, both of you sharing that unspoken understanding. Peterโs presence was oddly comforting in this hidden sanctuary, a stark contrast to the chaos of the mansion.
โRight?โ he replied, a smirk playing on his lips. โItโs nice to have a little escape now and then. Like our own little secret.โ He leaned forward slightly, eyes sparkling with mischief. โAnd now youโre in on it.โ
You nodded, feeling a warmth bloom in your chest. โI guess that makes me special, huh?โ
โSpecial indeed,โ he said, his tone shifting to something softer. The playful air around him faded, replaced by a sincerity that made your heart race. โI donโt show this place to just anyone.โ
The moment hung between you like a delicate thread, pulling you closer together. You watched as he shifted in the beanbag, looking slightly vulnerable but still that charming, cocky guy you knew. โSo, what else do you do in your secret hideout?โ you asked, trying to keep the mood light, even as the tension crackled in the air.
โSometimes I think about life, or I just play music and pretend Iโm a rockstar,โ he said with a chuckle, but his eyes were serious. โBut mostly, I just think aboutโฆ stuff.โ
โStuff?โ You raised an eyebrow, leaning forward, intrigued. โWhat kind of stuff?โ
He hesitated for a moment, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his face. โYou know, likeโฆ what it all means. Being a mutant, having powers, all that. But lately, Iโve been thinking about people too.โ His gaze locked onto yours, and you felt your breath hitch slightly.
โPeople?โ you echoed, heart pounding. โLikeโฆ?โ
โI dunno. Maybe people like... you.โ The words hung in the air, heavy and electric. His expression was earnest, searching yours for a reaction.
You felt a rush of warmth spread across your cheeks. โMe?โ
โYeah,โ he said, voice low. โYouโve always been there for me. And Iโve been wanting to tell youโฆ well, I think youโre incredible.โ
The sincerity in his eyes made your pulse quicken. It was that momentโthe one that seemed to stretch and expand, where everything else faded away. You could hear your heart beating in your ears. โPeter, Iโโ
Before you could finish, he closed the distance between you, his hand brushing against your cheek. โCan I show you? How incredible I think you are.โ he asked softly, and you nodded, breathless as your throat felt dry.
In an instant, his lips were on yours, tentative at first but quickly growing more confident, as if he were testing the waters of this uncharted territory. You melted into the kiss, feeling the warmth radiate between you, a rush of electricity that made everything else fade away. You reached up and felt his silver strands go through your fingers. This felt like a dream. He was kissing you, and not out of pity or a dare- Because he liked you. He really liked you...
When he pulled back, both of you were breathless, foreheads resting against each other. โWow,โ he whispered, a boyish grin spreading across his face. โSo, do you think I could ever be a rockstar?โ
You laughed, the moment lightening but the intensity still there. โYou definitely have the charm for it,โ you replied, heart still racing. โBut letโs focus on this secret hideout first.โ He chuckled, that easy, familiar laugh you loved. โDeal.โ The night stretched out before you, filled with possibilities, the quiet of the clubhouse now brimming with newfound connection.
