Demon slayer x Reader one shots

Rengoku

Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Pillar, was a pillar of strength and unwavering resolve. His fiery spirit and unparalleled dedication to his duty as a demon slayer had earned him great respect and admiration from his comrades. But behind his radiant smile and indomitable spirit, there was a secret he carried, one that tormented him every waking moment.

Y/N had joined the demon slayers not long ago, drawn to their noble cause and the stories she had heard of Rengoku's valor. From the moment she met him, she couldn't help but be captivated by his presence—his burning determination and unwavering commitment to protecting humanity.

As time passed, a bond began to form between Rengoku and Y/N. They fought side by side, their trust in each other growing with each battle. Y/N admired Rengoku's strength, but she also saw the cracks in his armor—the moments of vulnerability he rarely revealed to others.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon and cast an orange glow upon them, Y/N found Rengoku standing alone, his gaze fixed on the fading light. She approached him cautiously, her voice gentle. "Rengoku, is something troubling you?"

He turned to face her, his smile faltering for a moment before he quickly masked it. "Y/N, there's nothing for you to worry about. I'm just carrying the weight of my duty as a demon slayer."

His eyes flickered with a mixture of gratitude and pain. "I appreciate your support, Y/N. But there are things I've done, things I've seen, that I can never forget. The lives lost, the battles fought—it all weighs heavily on my soul."

Y/N's heart ached for him. She wanted to take away his pain, to be his solace in the darkness. "Rengoku, we all carry burdens, but that doesn't mean you have to face them alone. Let us help you shoulder the weight."

He glanced at her, his gaze softened by a mixture of longing and regret. "You don't understand, Y/N. I've made choices... choices that haunt me. I fear that my flames, once a symbol of hope, have only brought destruction."

Tears welled up in Y/N's eyes as she cupped his face, her voice filled with compassion. "Rengoku, I see the light in your flames, the strength of your convictions. Don't let regret consume you. Your sacrifices have saved countless lives, and your heart is pure."

Rengoku's lips quivered as he gazed into her eyes, his voice laced with anguish. "I can't bear the thought of you being caught in the crossfire of my battles. I'm afraid that one day, my flames will consume everything I hold dear."

Y/N's grip tightened, her voice unwavering. "Rengoku, love is not without risk. But I choose to stand by your side, to face the dangers that come our way. I believe in you, in the power of your flames."

For a fleeting moment, hope flickered in Rengoku's eyes, but it was quickly overshadowed by the weight of his doubts. "Y/N, I wish I could give you the happiness you deserve,
