Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅✨
( Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish readers as well if I'm allowed to say that! )
How did you two celebrate Christmas? 🤔
These could been seen in a modern au!
----------------------------------------------------
Giyu Tomioka
You two decorated the Christmas tree together.
"Steady.. Steady.." You murmured as you learned forward. You wanted to put the star atop the Christmas tree but since the tree was taller than you, you had to ask Giyu to help you out.
"And.. There! Alright, you can put me down now!"
And just as you said, Giyu took you off his shoulders, being careful not to drop you as he sets you down.
"Sorry for that, babe. Was I too heavy?" You asked. He shakes his head in response.
"Light as a feather." He mutters with pink cheeks. Your eyebrows furrow.
"Then why is your face so red? Kind of like you're out of breath.."
"Uh- No reason."
"You're lying, aren't you? I was heavy-!"
"That's not it!" As he says that, Giyu grabs the both of your hands. Your eyes widen and so does his.
"I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to do that. I just.. I didn't want you to have the wrong idea.."
Giyu's grip on your hands soften and he rubs your knuckles with his thumb. His face seems to redden in color as he does so.
"I'm just really happy to be able to spend today together with you. More than you may think. ..Merry Christmas, love."
Obanai Iguro
Obanai surprised you with a bunch of gifts.
"Wow.." You mumbled with astonishment. Obanai had come over with gifts in tow. They were all pretty expensive and of different varieties. From shirts, to dresses, to jewelry, to your favorite snacks and things. It seemed like he had bought it all..
"How much did you spend on all of this?" You asked concerningly. He gives you a shrug.
"Don't worry about that. ..Do you like the gifts?"
"Of course I do but, I don't want you to go bankrupt just to make me-!" You get cut off.
"Calm down and don't insult me. I have more money than you think. I'm doing just fine." At his confession you seem to relax just a little but, still shake your head.
"Even so. You shouldn't buy such expensive gifts for me."
"And why shouldn't I?" He asks. You shrug. I mean, it is his money so he could technically do whatever he wanted with it but..
"Look." He sighs out, "Just let me spoil you, alright? Don't worry about the price and all that. It's not that big of a deal. Just give me a smile.. It's my 'Christmas wish' you could say.."
"Babe.. Wishes are for birthdays.."
"Shut up. You know what I meant."
Mitsuri Kanroji
You two invited the Hashira over for Christmas dinner.
"Are you sure you'll be able to carry all that, Mitsu?" You asked as you watched your girlfriend wobble slightly as she balanced multiple plates on her hands and head.
"I- I got it! No need to worry!" She reassures. You chuckle.
"You made so much. I'm sure the others will enjoy it."
"It wasn't just me! You made some of the dishes too.." Mitsuri said, her pretty pink lips drooping into a small frown.
"Yeah but you made all the big dishes. You deserve the credit."
"No we both do, buttercup! Please don't downplay your hard work!" She said, nearly dropping all the plates in the process.
"Whoa-!" She squealed as she tries to better steady herself.
"Careful!" You say, getting close to her to help her steady the plates on her head.
"That was close.." Mitsuri said. Relief completely covering her tone. You nod in agreement.
"We'll pick this back up later. For now, let's go set the food down. The others will be here soon."
Shinobu Kocho
You two wrapped gifts together.
"Could you pass me some more tape?" Shinobu asked. You nod.
Ripping some tape off the dispenser, you hand it to Shinobu to which she says a small thank you in return.
"So, do you usually wrap presents to surprise the girls for the holidays or is this a new thing?" You ask in an attempt to strike up a conversation.
"I've been doing it for a couple years now. Kanae used to do this to surprise me and Kanao but now that she's..no longer with us, I've decided to take her place."
"..I'm sorry." You halt, "I didn't mean to-"
"It's alright. I know you didn't mean anything ill-willed when asking."
A silence envelops you and for a while, neither of you exchanged words. You two wrapped gift until eventually, Shinobu turns to you.
"I just remembered, I have a present for you." You stop and raise an eyebrow.
"Right now? Why not give it to me later when we're with the others?"
"Usually that would be the case but, this gift is special."
"How so?" You question as she hands you the small gift. Seriously, what could possibly fit in here?
"Open it and find out." You roll your eyes at her but still rip the wrapping paper off. Once done, you open the small box inside to reveal..
"A mistletoe?" You say confused as you hold it up to the light. "Why would you.."
"Oh my~! Would you look at that!" Shinobu exclaimed with faux surprise, "It looks like we're under the mistletoe. You know what that means~."
Before you could react, Shinobu grabs your wrist and pulls you forward, making your lips connect with hers in a chaste kiss. You're shocked and before you could melt into the action, she pulls away with a smirk.
"Merry Christmas, butterfly~." She says. You huff out in frustration.
"I'm so getting you back for this later.."
Sanemi Shinazugawa
You two made hot cocoa and lounged around the house all day.
"Mmh~! This is delicious, 'Nemi! You make the best hot chocolate." You praise before taking another sip from your mug.
"Yeah whatever.." He grumbles as he sat down beside you.
"Are you still mad about the snow?" You ask, "Y'know, we could always schedule more reservations another day. It's not like the restaurant is going to grow legs and walk away."
"It's not just that." He practically slams his mug down on the coffee table, "The whole damn reason I fucking planned all this shit was because I thought-" As though he wasn't meant to say that, Sanemi bites his tongue and stops talking. You raise an eyebrow at this.
"You thought..?" You parroted. He shakes his head.
"Nothing. Nevermind."
"Oh come on." You whine, "You can't just stop at the most important bit! Continue!"
"I'm not telling you shit."
"Come on, please..!" You begged, setting your mug down so you can grab his arm and give him the best puppy-dog eyes you could muster. He tries to turn away from you but you persist and shift you body onto his lap so you could lock eyes with him.
"Argh-! Fine.." He grumbles. With furrowed eyebrows he yanks his arm away from you.
"I planned all this because I thought..you were getting tired of me.."
"What? Why would you think some dumbass shit like that?" You asked. Clearly offended, you smack his arm.
"See! This is why I didn't want to tell you! I knew you'd react like this!"
"Of course I'd react this way! Especially since you've been thinking about stuff that just isn't true!" You defend, successfully shutting him up. After a minute or so, you take a breath before grabbing his face and making him look you in the eyes.
"I'm not bored of you, 'Nemi. And, I don't know what happened to make you think that but you need to forget about everything right now and listen to me. I love you with all my heart and you're the dumbest idiot ever to think otherwise."
"Who are you calling an idiot?"
"The only other person in this room besides me."
"You're-!" With a roll of your eyes you cut him off with a kiss. Wrapping your arms around his neck before biting his lip. He gasps, giving you the perfect opportunity to slip your tongue in his mouth. You trails your fingers up and down his chest and stomach and when you finally decide to come up for air, you mentally smirk when you notice him chase after your lips.
"Dumbasses like you need to be taught a lesson." You say, his face flushes a deep red.
"What- What is that supposed to mean?" He stammers. You grin.
"Oh, you'll find out.."
Kyojuro Rengoku
You two made Christmas treats with Senjuro.
"Good job, Senjuro!" You praised, "You did great. I'm sure they'll be delicious when they're done baking."
"Uh-! Thank you, Y/n.." He mumbles, fiddling with his hands. You smile and nod.
"I can't wait to try them!" Kyojuro shouts.
"You better not eat them all like last time." You say, putting a hand on your hip. Kyojuro chuckles.
"I can't make any promises! Not after knowing that my two favorite people made them!" He says.
"Compliments aren't gonna help you this time." You say. This time Senjuro's the one to giggle.
"Hmm.. I guess you could have a extra cookie since you and Senjuro were the ones to make them but they'll be less for your father to try you." You lean against the counter, "And while we're on this topic, what did you two put into the batter? I noticed before I put it in the oven that it looked kind of weird."
"We followed the recipe! Butter, sugar, eggs..!" As he lists all the ingredients they put into the batter, you raise an eyebrow.
"What about flour?" You ask. Senjuro cocks his head.
"Flour? I don't think we put any in.."
"We didn't! We forgot!" Kyojuro says with his usual smile.
"You forgot?" And, just as he says that the smell of burning and black smoke pollutes the kitchen's air.
"Ack-! Quick! Let's get them out before they cause a fire! ..Stop staring at me and hurry up, Kyo-!
Tanjiro Kamado
You gave him a massage.
"You really don't have to do this, angel."
"Yeah, but I want to. If it makes you feel any better you could write it off as my Christmas gift to you." You push him down on your couch before propping him up against some of your fluffiest and comfiest pillows you had set up prior.
"If anything it would make me feel worse since I wasn't able to get you anything this year.." He says.
"Well then believe whatever'll make you happy. Either way you're getting this message."
As you place your hands on his shoulders you could feel Tanjiro tense up. Because of this, you lean down to his ear.
"Relax, love. Just let me take care of you a little.."
Blushing, Tanjiro nods his head as you began your message. It was quiet process ( excluding the occasional groans that Tanjiro let out whenever you pressed against a spot that was extra sore ) and no words were exchanged. Eventually though, you decided to speak.
"Am I doing a good job?" You ask only to get nothing in return. You raise an eyebrow.
"Tanjiro?" Leaning over the couch, you smile when you notice that he's fast asleep.
You push him down so that he lays flat against the couch. You then grab the blanket nearest to you and slip it over his body, kissing his cheek and whispering in his ear once again.
"Merry Christmas and sweet dreams, Tanjiro.."
Muichiro Tokito
You two slept in.
You groan in disdain as the morning rays of the sun directly hits you in the face. Opening your eyes, you wince and squint at the blinding light before turning over to come face to face with your boyfriend. When did he get in here? You could've sworn he fell asleep in the guest room..
"Baby.." You coo before landing a kiss on his cheek. He flutters his pretty eyelashes and eventually reveals his mint green eyes to you that seem be dazed over in drowsiness.
"Why are you in here?" You mutter. It's not that big of deal, really. You were just curious.
"Hm..?" He hums still half asleep. You mental facepalm. Why did you even ask? Even though he was able to retrieve his past memories not too long ago, it doesn't mean his memory is topnotch..
"..Nevermind. Anyways, we have a lot of stuff to do today so- Wah-!"
Latching onto you, Muichiro flips you over to where he's now laying on your stomach.
"Let's sleep.." He said as he made himself comfortable with the new position.
"We can't Muichiro. We have to-" You get cut off by an irritated groan from him.
"We can do that later. Just stay here with me like this for a little longer.."
You can't help but sigh. As much as you wanted to put your foot down, get out of bed, and drag him out to get ready for the day, you don't really have the heart or the muscle to get out of his practically bone-crushing hold. Especially since you're still fighting drowsiness yourself.
"Why are you always so.." You let out a long sigh, "Fine. But we're getting up in an hour alright." He gives you a half-hearted nod.
Time passed and you two ended up awaking around the evening. You were mad that you practically slept your whole Christmas away but Muichiro made it up to you with cuddles, kisses, affection, and more so your anger died down..eventually.
Yuichiro Tokito
You took care of him because he got a bad cold.
Wringing out the wet towel, you place it on your boyfriend's sweaty forehead. He was currently unconscious and sweating ferociously.
Yuichiro had accepted a last minute mission a few days prior since he was free and you were busy. Unfortunately, the mission was in an area covered in snow and sleet so not only did he get a few injuries more than he usually does, he had manage to get a nasty cold as well.
"You've been asleep for three days now, y'know?" You muttered as you stared at Yuichiro's sleeping face. It was always so cute and peaceful. A major contrast from the usual tense scowl he tends to wear.
"Your brother came to visit earlier. He was really worried about you. ..He ended up crying when he saw you like this. It made me feel horrible. Unfortunately for him, Oyakata-sama needed him for some reason so he couldn't stay but, he left us some Christmas gifts."
Getting close to his face, your eyebrows furrow.
"You're making everyone stress, including me. I know you don't like making people you care about worry over you like that so wake the hell up already!"
As Yuichiro makes no motion or movement, you sigh and slump back into the chair beside his bed. How silly of you to get mad at someone who can't hear or talk back to you..
"Just get better soon, Yuichiro. For all of us. ..Merry Christmas."
Zenitsu Agatsuma
You two went ice skating.
"Come on, Zen! It's not as scary as you think!" You shout from your place on the ice. Zenitsu shakes his head wildly.
"No way! I'll die! And stop shouting! You'll make the ice break!"
"First off. You won't die, the worse that'll happen is you falling on your butt. Second, you're currently louder than me. Third, I doubt our voices are high enough to break this ice."
"You don't know that!" He shrieks. You wince at his volume, "Any moment now it could crack and break apart and you could fall in and drown!"
Sighing exasperatedly, you skate ( wobbling if you can't skate like me ) over to Zenitsu and grab his hand, ignoring his screams and pleas as you drag him onto the ice. Pushing him against you and wrapping your arms around his waist.
"What- What- What're you-!"
"Calm down. I got you and I won't drop you or let you fall. Now, let's have some fun."
After a while of his protest, Zenitsu eventually relaxes and leans his head on your chest as you two skate around.
"This is kinda nice.." He mutters. You grin cheekily.
"Told you so."
Inosuke Hashibira
You two made custom ornaments for your Christmas tree.
"Uhhh.." You mumbled as you stared at Inosuke's ornament.
"Heh. Amazing, right?" Inosuke said. Chin tilted upwards in confidence.
"Uhm.. Yeah! Totally! But uh.. What is it?"
"A tree obviously."
"Oh! I see!" You said, scratching the back of your head. You thought it was a snowflake..
"Alright! Now let's eat it!" He said suddenly as his mouth neared the ornament.
"What? No!" You say, snatching the ornament out of his hand, "Does this look edible to you?"
"You said we could eat them after!"
"No, I meant the Christmas cookies! Not Christmas ornaments! You're getting them mixed up!"
"You're getting them mixed up!" Inosuke shouts causing you to let out a tired sigh. Time to explain Christmas to him..again.
Kanao Tsuyuri
You two built a gingerbread house together.
"Careful."
"Don't worry, Kanao. I got it." You said as you hovered the part of the roof ever so slightly above the house.
As you finally place the piece of the cookie roof atop the walls ( I'm positive there's a much better way to explain this but I've never built a gingerbread man so I'm too scared to add too many details and look like some dumbass ) you two sigh in relief.
"It looks amazing, cherry blossom."
"Not as amazing as you look right now." You wink. Kanao giggles, a small blush evident on her cheeks.
"Anyways, let's go get the others. I'm sure they'll want to marvel at our masterpiece."
She smiles and nods, "Alright."
Nezuko Kamado
You two knit ugly sweaters together.
"How's this one?" You asked revealing Nezuko the nearly finished sweater in which she nods happily and forms thumbs up with one of her hands. You frown at this.
"Time to start over.." You sigh out. Nezuko tilts her head in confusion as she waits for you to explain further.
"Ugly sweaters are supposed to be just that, ugly. It defeats the purpose of it if you like it."
Upon the explanation, Nezuko hums in acknowledgement before feigning disgust towards the sweater. You laugh at her.
"Thanks Nez' but, I think I'm still going to start over." You said. Nezuko nods.
As you took the needle and wrap the string, you accidentally poke your finger.
"Ow-!" You shouted as you dropped the needle, catching your girlfriend's attention.
As soon as she sees the blood drip from your finger, Nezuko drops her needles and gets up. She mumbles some incoherent words before running out of the room as she began her search for her brother.
"..Wait! Nezuko, come back! It's okay I- I'm fine! It's just a scratch!"
Gyomei Himejima
You two spent that week at your family's house for a holiday gathering. ( If you aren't cool with your family, aren't in contact with them or anything like that, you can go to a friend's house or whoever's house you like going to! )
After wishing your ( cousin/friend/grandparents/etc. ) good night you close the door and let out an exasperated sigh.
"That was exhausting." You said tiredly as you walked over to your bed where Gyomei sat.
"You sounded like you were having a pretty good time down there." He said.
"I was but after you bailed on me it got a little hectic.."
"I apologize. It didn't feel right to intrude on your gathering so I excused myself. I thought it was for the best."
Crawling closer so that you sat shoulder to shoulder, you lean against him and close your eyes.
"What're you talking about?" You asked, "They all loved you. The whole reason why it got so hectic in the first place was because you left."
"Really?" He asked, turning in your direction. You hum in affirmation and open your eyes.
"Of course. You're amazing, sweetheart. You're so kind and sincere even when you don't think it. I wasn't surprised in the slightest when everyone complained because you decided to head to bed early. Haha~. They even tried to convince me to come up here and drag you back. Hahaha~."
As you laughed, you failed to notice the small smile on Gyomei's slightly fluttered face. He isn't being a bother? Thank goodness. He was starting to think they didn't like him..
Kanae Kocho
You two decorated the estate together.
"I can't believe you made everyone rest and made me help you out with this." You grumbled.
"They deserved to rest and you know that. They've been working hard all month. It's the least I can do." Kanae explained as she watched you climb the wooden ladder.
"I understand that but we've also been working nonstop all month." Stop at the third-to-top step on the ladder you let out a sigh, "Look, I just think it would be better if we waited until tomorrow and let everyone help out."
Kanae nods understandingly, "I understand. I didn't want to burden them but I also didn't want to bother you in process. Feel free to-"
"Forget it." You cut off. She raises an eyebrow.
"I'm already beyond pissed off. I won't be able to get to sleep like this." You say.
"But now I feel bad."
"Kanae I said forget-" As you whip your head around to shoot a look at your girlfriend, your hand slips and you fall back.
"WaaaAAAaah-!" You shrieked. Luckily before you hit the floor Kanae caught you in her arms.
"That was close, rose." She says, relieved.
"..On second thought, maybe I should be the one to hang the streamers up.."
