Chapter Text

It was common knowledge that all slayers, around the age of 18, tsuchinoto rank and above were required to have a designated heat and rut partner to pair up with whenever one or both slayers' mating cycles occur. Each slayer is given the option to choose their designated partner, however both parties must agree to being each other's partner, if a slayer didn't choose a designated partner within six months a partner would be assigned to them at random.

Those who already had mates weren't assigned a cycle partner since one's own mate would be more than suitable to take care of their heat or rut. Of course betas were excempt from this rule since they didn't experience any mating cycles that required them to be out of the field for almost a week.

Unfortunately for Genya ever since he reached the tsuchinoto rank, six months ago, his scary appearance, awkwardness around women, gruff, straightforward personality, and slight social anxiety prevented him from being able to find a cycle partner. But now, he sat awkwardly in his assigned room, at the butterfly estate, waiting for his new designated cycle partner to show. The alpha let out a sigh as he laid back on the bed covering his eyes with his right arm.

He must of nodded off, because he was soon awoken by the sound of angry footsteps making their way down the hall and to his room. Genya sat up looking on as his designated partner fiddled with the lock on the door, Genya blushed a small bit wondering what omega had been assigned to him, just as the alpha was about to get up to open the door it suddenly unlocked and flung open. Any and all hopes for a cute and gentle omega were soon smashed as Genya was met with the sight of a familiar boar headed omega, the one and only, Inosuke Hashibira.

The hair on the back of Genya's neck stood up. Of all the omega's they could have picked, why did it have to be him?!? Honestly if Genya truly didn't want to pair up with Inosuke he didn't have to, he could ask to spend his rut on his own then later he could submit request to be reassigned to another cycle partner. Sure it definitely would take much longer for his rut to end but at least he didn't have to deal with the feral omega that stood before him.

"So, you're the alpha they deemed worthy enough for the Great Lord Inosuke? Tch, I'll be the judge of that!" The omega huffed and firmly planted his hands on his hips as he stared the alpha down. With his mask on Genya couldn't tell just what his expression was, but he could feel the omega's analyzing gaze on him as he sized up his potential partner. Genya sat back on the bed with his knees under him furrowing his brow. It wasn't that Genya thought the omega wasn't attractive, or that Inosuke wasn't good enough for him, it was just that the two always seemed to butt heads whenever they spoke seemingly over any meaningless thing.

To be perfectly honest, Genya thought Inosuke was rather attractive, for a male omega, especially since Genya preferred female omegas over males, Genya couldn't help but feel attracted to him. Inosuke's body was impressively flexible and finely sculpted from years of training, fighting, and exercising. Though he was a bit on the small side Inosuke could still handle himself in a fight. Genya once again couldn't help but admire him, but despite all that Inosuke was an expert on getting under Genya's skin. He'd steal food, start fights, insult him, make jabs at Himejima or Sanemi, and he'd even pick on Genya for not being able to use breathing techniques.

Annoyed, Genya snapped at him. "Well? Are you just gonna stand there? Or-" but before Genya could finish his sentence the door was once again locked and the green eyed omega was now sitting in front of him. Genya, still caught off guard by the omega's quick movements, blushed a little as the omega removed the boar head to meet his gaze. The alpha quickly looked away not wanting to acknowledge the fact that he was already blushing, despite nothing having happened.

"You don't look so tough, I can easily take you." Genya closed his eyes not wanting to look at him does he even know what he's saying?? Inosuke smirked as he noticed the alpha's face reddening. "What's wrong? Can't handle the presence of Lord Inosuke?" Genya finally looked at the omega and huffed. "Of all omega's they could have paired me up with, why you?? Do you even understand why we're here?" Genya snapped at the feral omega once more. "Of course I do! I'm not an idiot!!" That was debatable, Genya looked at the omega with a skeptical gaze.

"And what exactly do you think we were paired up for?" The alpha pressed the question further. From what he heard, from Tanjiro, Inosuke didn't quite understand most social interactions, and Genya sure as hell wasn't about to take advantage of a navie omega. Especially if he didn't actually understand what was going on. "They paired us up to mate-" "WE DEFINITELY AREN'T DOING THAT." Genya shouted, he wasn't about to mark some omega he barely knew or didn't get along with. "Huh?! Then why did they say you were gonna help me get through my heat?! And that I was supposed to help you through your rut!? Isn't that mating?!?" Inosuke looked frustrated and confused.

Genya paused for a moment, groaned, and pinched his nose bridge before he spoke. "There's a difference between mating and helping someone through a mating cycle. We'd only be mating if we claimed each other. I'm not gonna claim some random omega." Inosuke looked at him for a moment, as he took in the new information, he seemed to relax once he understood that he wasn't going to be claimed, it made Genya feel a little sorry for the omega.

Inosuke must have been worried about the idea of not being able to choose whether or not he was claimed. "...Did you think that the requirement for a 'heat and rut partner' meant you had to be claimed..?" The alpha softened his voice as he began to understand the younger man. Inosuke looked down and nodded.

Genya hadn't really thought about it before, but now it made sense to him why Inosuke had been randomly assigned to him instead of being paired up with someone of his choice. He didn't want to be claimed, so he probably thought if he didn't choose a cycle partner he wouldn't be, but despite that he ended being assigned to one anyway. "..Hey, if you're not comfortable being with an alpha for your heat you don't need to do this. Just tell Shinobu you wanna spend it alone. I'm sure she'll understand. " Genya tried his best to comfort Inosuke now that he could see that the omega had only been acting tough earlier.

Inosuke looked up at him and thought for a moment before he shook his head. "No, I'm not scared of being with an alpha for my heat..I just didn't want to be claimed yet." Genya was genuinely surprised that Inosuke was being so vulnerable in front of him, especially since the two almost never got along.

He guessed that it was just Inosuke's pre-heat hormones affecting him and making him more sensitive. "Alright then, we'll do this together." The alpha couldn't help but feel a bit better about the situation when he saw the omega once again feel comforted by his words.

What Genya wasn't prepared for was the sudden change in moods once their pre-heat and pre-rut instincts began to kick in. Feeling enticed by the alpha's sudden change scent Inosuke moved closer, Genya leaned in as he too was drawn in by Inosuke's new scent. Inosuke, feeling his confidence returning, took the lead and pressed their lips together while placing his hand on the other's shoulder for support. Genya kissed the omega back and placing his hand on the back of Inosuke's head to bring him in closer.

Inosuke straddled Genya's hips as their kissing soon turned into a heated make out session their tongues fighting for dominance as they explored each other's mouths, their hands felt up each other's bodies, and their scents mixed with one another's. When the two pulled apart for air, their eyes met, and suddenly whatever prior grievances they had with each other didn't matter anymore. Not when they had one another so close, not when they felt so warm in each other's arms, and definitely not when every part of them screamed out to be one with the other.

The alpha paused, "Before anything happens, I want us to have a safe word. If one of us says 'katana,' everything stops, okay?" " got it. 'Katana,' okay." Inosuke nodded firmly in reply.

Without another word, Genya kissed Inosuke once more as the omega ripped open his yukata. The older demon slayer groaned when he felt the omega's hand reach into his fundoshi and pull his cock free. Inosuke's eyes widened as he practically yelped, when he looked down, seeing just how big the alpha was. Genya felt somewhat proud of himself as he watched the little omega measure the size of his dick with his hands and compare it to stomach. Inosuke turned bright red as the realization, of just how deep inside the alpha would go, hit him. "What's wrong? Don't think it'll fit?" The alpha chuckled, enjoying the look on Inosuke's face.

He sputtered for a bit before growling at the alpha. "I can take you no problem!" Inosuke tore his clothing off and lifted himself up before lining up the alpha's hard cock with his cunt. "Wait, shouldn't I prep you f-URST!~" Genya was cut off by his own moan as the omega slid himself down onto his cock in one fast and fluid motion. Inosuke moaned loudly as he was filled up by Genya's thick cock. The two panted, Inosuke, now firmly seated in Genya's lap, groaned feeling the alpha now balls deep inside his vagina.

"Fuck, that was hot, you're so damn tight." Genya peppered the omega's face with kisses that trailed down his neck while bucking his hips upwards, Inosuke whimpered as he adjusted to the alpha's size. "I-it's ngh, nothing...s-ee..?" The omega struggled to get his sentence out he was too distracted by the cock, that sat now heavily inside his cunt, to focus properly on what he was saying. Once Inosuke caught his breath he wrapped his legs around Genya's hips, placed his hands firmly on the violet eyed alpha's shoulders for support, and began to slowly roll his hips back and forth.

Genya groaned, placing his hands on the green eyed omega's hips to keep their pace steady. Once he found a good steady pace, Inosuke began to ride the alpha a little faster. "Hahh ahhh, ngh~ fuuuuck~" Genya groaned, he smacked Inosuke's ass, and began thrusting upwards into the omega. Inosuke yelped, then moaned as he bounced harder and faster on the alpha's dick. The alpha firmly held the omega's hips, lifting him up and down on his cock.

"Ooh!! Sh-iiit!~ yes!! Ri- hahh- right there!!~" Inosuke howled as Genya's cockhead began bullying his cervix over and over again. "Ngh, fuck. Ya like that? Huh? You like it when I fuck you like this? When I fuck you like a slut?" The alpha growled, treating the omega more like his own personal sex toy. "Ungh! F-fuck, Y-ESS!!~" throwing his head back the omega moaned pathetically in the alpha's lap, loving every second of the rough treatment. Genya hissed and bit down, hard, into Inosuke's shoulder while the omega clawed as his back, which only served to encourage the alpha to get rougher with him.

"M-more!!! Mmh~ hngh, y-yes!! Ooh!~" Inosuke moaned as Genya's thrusts became impossibly deeper. "So b-ig!!!~" The smaller slayer whimpered. "if I'd 'ave known- ngh- you were such a- fuck..-s-such a slut, I'da fucked ya sooner!" Genya growled in his ear, Inosuke sobbed in absolute pleasure as Genya rearranged his guts. "F-fuck you.."

"Ah..haah, that's the p-plan" Genya panted out, lifting the omega up, 'til only the head of his cock was still inside, and slamming him back down. Inosuke let out the loudest moan Genya heard him make the whole night as his orgasm slammed into him like a truck, slick gushing out around the violet eyed alpha's cock, and his cum spurting out onto his belly. Genya hissed through his teeth as the omega's pussy tightened up around him, his own thrusts became more sporadic and desperate as he chased his own orgasm.

"Fuck. You really like that, huh?" Genya teased as he pressed his hand down onto Inosuke's belly where his cock had been making his stomach buldge. Inosuke moaned louder, shaking and clinging desperately to his partner, Genya kissed him and nuzzled his cheek against the omega's. "Hah, f-fuck, you're doing so good...so..so good.." Genya moaned, closing his eyes tightly, and pressed his forehead against Inosuke's. "Ngh, 'm close.." the alpha groaned feeling his knot start to swell at the base of his cock.

"Mngh, I-I want it s..so bad~" Inosuke sobbed wrapping his legs tighter around Genya's hips. "Haah, ngh, 'm gonna give it to ya, don' worry~" The alpha panted as he thrusted faster into the black and blue haired omega's cunt. "FUUUUCK!!!~" Inosuke yelped as he felt the alpha's knot pop into him "NNGH, FUCK!" Genya howled as he came deep inside Inosuke. The two were nothing but a panting, whimpering, shaking mess as the alpha filled up the omega's womb up with his cum.

Inosuke panted, hugging Genya tighter, and rested his chin on Genya's shoulder, as he panted, listening to the alpha's breath hitch with each spurt of cum. "Holy hell, that was so damn good.." Inosuke nuzzled his partner and rubbed his back. Genya hummed in agreement as he nuzzled the omega back. "You were so good, Ino." He turned to kiss the omega on his cheek once more. Inosuke bathed in the alpha's affection while the two caught their breath and regained their energy.

After only 10 minutes, their eyes met once again, and the two didn't need to say another word before Genya tackled the omega forwards onto the bed for another round. The two would definitely be at it for a while.

"HAAH!~ NNGH, GEN-UGH!..F-UCK!!!~" Inosuke screamed out in pleasure as he held on desperately to the headboard while Genya pounded his pussy from behind. Genya grunted, biting Inosuke's shoulder roughly, as he railed the omega underneath him for the tenth time in just two days. The omega moaned louder as the alpha's cock plunged straight into his cervix once more.

With Inosuke's tongue hung out, his eyes rolled back, and his legs shaking it made him absolutely irresistible for a Genya deep in his rut to resist, but Genya probably wouldn't be able to resist the sight in front of him outside of rut anyways. Inosuke's sensitive body only served to intensify the pleasure that his partner gave him so deliciously. "Mmmmm nngh, f-uck!~ Genya!!!~" Inosuke sobbed out as the alpha's cock plunged deeper into his pussy.

"Ngh, shit, you're so fuckin' wet" the alpha growled, driving his dick in harder, he removed one of his hands from the death grip he had on Inosuke's hips and slapped Inosuke's ass before using his free hand to play with the omega's clit. The black and blue haired omega screamed out in heavenly pleasure as the his second orgasm of the round rushed through his body. Genya smirked and started to rub the omega's clit faster, causing the smaller slayer to cry out once more.

"Mngh, G-Genya!!!~" "haaa, g-good boy." The alpha kissed Inosuke's as praise for the omega getting his name right again. He quickened his thrusts and pushed deeper inside, just how Inosuke liked it, "Want my knot? Huh? Want it? Work for it, slut." Genya stopped thrusting, he huffed, and slapped the omega's ass hard. "Wantitsobad~" Inosuke fucked himself back onto Genya's cock, desperate for the alpha's knot. "Good boy...mmn, good boy...there ya go." Genya panted out, watching the omega desperately fuck himself on his dick.

The violet eyed slayer bit his bottom lip, savoring the delicious sight in front of him. Inosuke looked back at him, his eyes filled with desperation, pleasure, and lust. The omega was nothing short of gorgeous his face reddened, sweat glistening off his body, his hair now messed up and sticking to his neck and forehead, and most of all the delicious scent of his heat made him only more desirable for the alpha he was paired up with. Genya was truly a lucky man to be paired up with the beast breathing omega.

Inosuke whimpered once more when he felt Genya's knot starting to tug at his entrance, he sobbed out in desperation for the alpha. "There's a good omega" the alpha groaned, he pulled Inosuke into his lap, wrapping his arms around the omega's chest, pressing his back against his chest, and thrusting upwards into the tight heat that enveloped his cock. After a few more strong thrusts the omega screamed in pleasure once more when the alpha's knot pushed inside him. "Mngh~" Genya buried his nose in the Inosuke's scent gland as he came inside him again.

Genya laid them both down on the bed to wait for his knot to go down, in the meantime he lazily kissed Inosuke's head and rubbed his hips. Inosuke purred at the alpha's show of affection and curled up into the alpha's arms feeling content. Genya gently traced over the omega's stomach taking special care not to press down on it since it was left sensitive and distended from the copious amounts of semen that the alpha had eagerly pumped inside him.

After 16 minutes Genya's knot went down enough for him to pull out of Inosuke. Once he pulled out he gently nuzzled Inosuke, before getting up on his shaky legs to run a bath for the two. Inosuke shivered at the absence of his partner's warmth and curled up in the blankets, comforted by the scent of his and Genya's temporary nest. A few moments later Genya came back, he scooped up the omega into his arms, and carried him into the bathroom that was attached to their room.

After gently lowering the beast breather into the water the violet eyed alpha then carefully joined him in the bath. Genya leisurely scrubbed the omega's hair, he then moved on to scrubbing his partner's body clean, taking care not to be too rough with Inosuke's sensitive body. When the green eyed omega felt enough of his energy return to him Inosuke returned the favor by washing Genya's hair and back for him. Once they deemed themselves clean enough to return to their nest, Genya pulled the omega into his arms, and helped him dry off.

Inosuke would probably never admit it, but he was deeply thankful for the effort that Genya was putting into caring for him during his heat despite being in the throes of a rut himself. The smaller omega sat back on the bed watching the black haired alpha prepare a meal for the two of them by using the food provided for their stay. After a few minutes Genya walked back over to Inosuke handing over a plate of food, and much to the alpha's delight, Inosuke eagerly took the food offered to him.

Genya sat down next to the omega to eat his own plate of food, it wasn't anything special, just fruits and pickled vegetables. Not anything Genya would willingly eat if given the choice, but they didn't really have too many options since the room only had a few options of stored foods that didn't require being cooked or warmed back up. The alpha was brought back from his thoughts by the feeling of the omega nuzzling against him, the alpha rolled his eyes and ruffled the omega's hair.

Moments where their mating instincts were satiated enough for the two to take a break without needing to be intimate had been few and far between for the past two days. After they finished eating, Genya made sure Inosuke drank plenty of water before he put their plates away and curling up with him in their nest. "Think you can last another day?" Genya asked while the two cuddled together Inosuke sat up and smirked at the alpha. "Is that a challenge?" "No, it's not a challenge. Just wanna know if you're alright. I'm not too rough with you, am I?"

Inosuke shook his head and layed back down in the alpha's arms. "I'm fine. You don't gotta worry so damn much. I'm not fragile." Genya hummed in acknowledgement then buried his nose in Inosuke's hair. "And before you ask, yes, I still remember the safeword!" Inosuke shouted, a little too loud for tired Genya's ears. "M'kay, get some sleep while ya can." the alpha sleepily responded before letting his exhausting carry him off to sleep.

The two slept for only an hour before being awoken by their primal urges enticing them into another round of sex. Genya groaned into their kiss as he thrusted his hips into Inosuke's, using one hand he pinned the omega's hands above his head. Inosuke moaned, wrapping his legs around the alpha's waist, and bucking his hips up to meet the taller male's. "Ngh, fuck..hahh, ungh!~ NNGH!!~" Inosuke cried out as the alpha's movements became faster, plunging deeper inside, hitting in all the right places, and making him feel so full and stuffed.

"Fuuuuck!!~" Inosuke arched his back as the head of the alpha's cock slammed into his cervix. Genya buried his face in the pillow under the omega's head, groaning loudly as he felt Inosuke tighten up around him. "Shit...so fuckin' tight...ugh, so good~" the alpha moaned as he began sucking on the omega's neck. The smaller omega yelped in surprise when a particularly hard thrust was gifted to him from the alpha on top of him.

Inosuke whimpered while he tried to pull his hands free from Genya's, so he could claw the alpha's back to show him just how much he was loving every second of their time together. "Mmn, fuu-ck me s-o goood!!~ Ngh!~ fuck! D-don't stop!!~" The omega cried out, his overly sensitive body intensified the pleasure Genya brought him so deliciously. The alpha growled in pleasure then pressed his lips against the omega's for another hungry kiss, Inosuke whimpered as the taller male's thrusts became more powerful.

"Haah, I-I'm c-cl-ose!~" Inosuke helplessly whimpered as the alpha pounded relentlessly into him. Genya growled, releasing the omega's hands, he grabbed Inosuke's legs, and taking advantage of the omega's extremely flexible body he pinned them to Inosuke's chest. The omega yelped caught off guard by how deep the alpha was able to reach inside of him thanks to the new position. The omega's tongue lolled out of his mouth while his eyes rolled back "ooohh~ fuuuuck yesss!~" he moaned out as he eagerly accepted the cock plunging deeper and deeper inside.

Genya growled in pleasure as he watched the omega squirm and writhe on the bed in absolute pure ecstasy. It made the alpha hungrier for the omega beneath him in ways he didn't know he wanted. Just a few days ago, if you'd have told Genya that he would fall for the boar headed omega in such a way he would have punched you and thought you an idiot, but now it felt like Inosuke was the only person he could ever want in life. And suddenly everything he had against the omega before just didn't matter to him anymore.

On the other hand, Inosuke never would have believed that he would ever submit to an alpha. Especially Genya, but now all he wanted was to have the alpha close and in his arms. Inosuke wanted nothing more than to be in the alpha's arms, comforted by his warmth, and protected by his strength. And that was something Inosuke never would have believed that he would ever want, he never believed he needed anyone to protect him, he never wanted to be vulnerable, and he definitely didn't want to depend on an alpha for anything. 

But now Inosuke felt as though he didn't need to be strong all the time, he felt like he could let his walls down as long as Genya was there to protect him. Inosuke never believed he would ever feel that way about an alpha, let alone feel that way about another person. Yet, here he was, lying underneath the alpha, feeling nothing but pleasure, and lust for the violet eyed alpha. Inosuke moaned, wrapping his arms around the Genya's neck as the older demon slayer's thrusts became more precise and aggressive.

The smaller omega whimpered, feeling the alpha's knot swelling once more. Genya's only response to the omega's whimpers and moans, was to fuck him harder, only made Inosuke want him more. "Haahh!~ F-UCK!!~" Inosuke arched his back, moaning, as his orgasm racked through him, sending sensations of pleasure throughout his body. Genya groaned, grit his teeth, and buried his face in the omega's chest the feeling of the omega's cunt tightening around his cock drove the alpha crazy in all the best ways.

Inosuke bit his lip in anticipation as the alpha started having to put more effort into pulling out. The omega knew it was only a mater of time until he was given the knot that he so desperately wanted. Genya howled out as he knot locked the two of them together, his body collapsed onto the omega's, the two panted as they rode out the rest of their orgasmic high together. "Good boy" Inosuke panted out as he kissed the alpha on the nose. The violet eyed slayer's breath hitched as the omega milked his cock for everything he had.

After a few minutes Genya gently pulled the omega into his arms and shifted them both onto their sides so Inosuke didn't overheat or get too overstimulated from having the alpha's full weight laying on him. Inosuke moaned a little as he felt the alpha's cock shift slightly inside him with the change in position. "Sorry." The alpha apologized as he rubbed the omega's sore hips and legs. 

Inosuke purred and nuzzled the alpha still feeling affectionate from his heat. Genya lazily nuzzled the omega back while he waited for his energy to return and for his knot to go down so he could get them cleaned up. Not that he didn't mind having Inosuke so intimately entangled with him, but he just didn't want to deal with various bodily fluids causing his skin to chafe as they dried. Genya didn't think Inosuke would appreciate it either since his skin was so sensitive to different textures.

Inosuke despised the cold that came when his partner separated from him, but he couldn't tell if it was just because of his heat, because he was getting used to having the alpha with him, or because he was catching feelings. Nope! Definitely not the last one!! At least, that's what the omega would tell himself anyways, surely the Great Lord Inosuke himself wouldn't fall for an alpha! He didn't need one, the Great Lord Inosuke had never needed an alpha in the past, nor had he ever wanted one. So then, why did this alpha feel so different to him?

The green eyed slayer shoved all that aside and blamed the warm and fuzzy feelings on his heat. When the alpha came back from the bathroom with a small bucket of water and a wash cloth the omega felt annoyed with his instincts for feeling relief at the sight of the alpha returning. Why did his heat have to make him so desperate for affection? The alpha had only been gone for a few minutes, so why was he feeling this way? Inosuke growled at himself and rolled over onto his side to face away from the alpha. 

So he's back to acting like a stubborn brat? Wonderful. The alpha rolled his eyes and simply used the wash cloth to help clean the omega. There wasn't much of a mess this time so thankfully the tired older slayer didn't have to draw another bath. Inosuke didn't put up a fight, much to Genya's relief, because bathing the omega for him would most certainly not be tolerated by the omega outside of heat. The omega hissed at the stinging sensation that the salve the alpha applied to his bite marks caused.

"Sorry, probably should have warned you-" "you think? Dumbass, that stings!" The omega snapped, glaring back at the alpha as he smacked his hand away. "Don't you snap at me! I'm the one taking care of your ass! Either you let me put this on the bite marks or you deal with them taking longer to heal and risk them getting infected!" Genya huffed at the omega's behavior. "Well I wouldn't have to deal with it at all if you didn't bite me so hard!!" "You literally beg me to bite you when we fuck!" Genya was right, during some of their rounds, Inosuke had basically begged the violet eyed slayer to bite him.

Inosuke pouted, crossed his arms, and gave up letting the alpha treat the wounds. Genya sighed and took a more gentle approach to applying the salve to the bite makes he left on the omega's body. The two just got really excited with one another a little too often, Genya suspected that it was due to the fact that Inosuke's heat pheromones and his rut were nearing their peak. The alpha was drawn out of his thoughts by the omega turning him around and applying the salve to the scratches on his back.

"Hst, ow, you're right..that does sting." Genya hissed out in acknowledgement of the omega's prior complaint. The omega simply let out a 'hmph' sound in response to the alpha's complaints. "Tsk, serves you right." The omega muttered, Genya turned around and flicked the omega in the nose. "Hey! You bastard!" Inosuke tackled the alpha and wrestled with him until Genya pinned him down. In all honesty, the two were starting to enjoy the other's company, Genya was definitely appreciating Inosuke not insulting his mentor and brother, and Inosuke was definitely enjoying being pampered by the alpha like a king and being fed.

By the third day the two's mating instincts lessened and they were able to go longer without having to engage in sexual activities so feel satiated. Regardless, the decrease in mating pheromones didn't seem to affect their lust for one another. The two layed on their sides sharing a deep, hungry, and wet kiss while Genya's fingers spread the omega open over and over again. Inosuke moaned as his partner rubbed his clit with his thumb, the omega traced the muscles on the alpha's chest and stomach with his right hand while his left stroked the alpha's cock.

Genya groaned into the kiss, he removed his fingers from the omega's pussy, his dick from Inosuke's grip, and lifted up the the green eyed slayer's left leg. Inosuke whined at the absence of the alpha's fingers, but stopped complaining when he felt Genya rubbing the head of his dick against his opening. "Mmn~" The omega moaned as Genya pressed the head of his cock inside. The two gasped in pleasure once the alpha was fully sheathed inside his partner.

The alpha deepened the kiss as he thrusted harder into the omega's cunt, Inosuke wrapped his leg around the alpha's waist, wrapping his arms around the violet eyed alpha's neck, and Genya gripped the omega's ass firmly with his left hand. Inosuke moaned loudly and clenched down on the alpha's cock when Genya's dick rammed right into his g-spot, the alpha groaned and repeated the action over and over again to elicit that same sweet reaction from the omega again.

"Nngh, you really..hahn, k-know how to take a- mnnh -dick, huh? Fuckin' s-lut" Genya groaned as he quickened his pace. "Hahh, f-fuck you..b-bast-ARD!!~" The omega's insult had been cut short by Genya's dick plunging deeper inside and ramming into his cervix. The alpha smirked at the omega which earned him a bite on the shoulder from the smaller male. "B-bitch...Mngh fuck~" Inosuke groaned feeling the alpha's hand groping his ass harder and his thrusts gaining strength.

"Nah, if anything...ohh~ fuck...you're the b-itch" Genya teased. "Just shuddup an' fuck me" Inosuke growled "okay, okay, I'll fuck ya." The violet eyed alpha laughed a little before kissing Inosuke again. Inosuke moaned into the kiss, tightening his legs grip around the alpha's waist, pulling on the alpha's hair, and bucking his hips to meet the alpha's thrusts. Genya growled in pleasure, impossibly deepened his thrusts, put more power into them, and trailed the kiss away from the omega's lips and down his neck.

A shutter ran down the omega's spine in tandem with the kisses on his sensitive neck that were left by the hungry alpha. Inosuke sobbed in pleasure, while the alpha ruthlessly rearranged his guts, just the way he loved it. Genya had never felt hornier for the omega before he wasn't sure why, but he wasn't about to question it. Not while he had a pretty omega moaning on his dick. The omega's breath hitched as the alpha's knot began to swell, tugging so deliciously on the lips of his cunt.

Genya moaned, he rested his chin on the Inosuke's head and groaned as his knot pushed inside. Their eyes rolled back and both of their tongues hung out of their mouths as their orgasms hit them at the same time. While the two were recovering Genya got his answer to his earlier question. The reason why he had been feeling more attracted to Inosuke, was because he was developing feelings for him.

Chapter Text

Things between Inosuke and Genya had been awkward for about a week after their mating cycles ended. The two could barely look at one another without blushing and looking away Genya couldn't stand it. The alpha wanted to be near Inosuke more, which frustrated him since Inosuke was back to being his stupidly feral self, and Inosuke had started stealing food from him more often. Genya knew he should've expected Inosuke to not be as approachable as he was during his heat, but despite that it frustrated him.

Inosuke especially hated the fact that, he too, wanted to be near Genya more often. He hated feeling like a stereotypical omega, always wanting an alpha, and Inosuke was not the type to accept those feelings easily. The omega's stubborn, boar-headed, short tempered, and proud personality prevented him from immediately getting a second opinion or asking for advice on how to deel with these new feelings.

After another three days had to pass Inosuke before would finally decide that enough was enough, that he'd just have to buck up, and ask the only other omega he knew he could trust, his pack's matriarch, Tanjiro Kamado. Though the burgundy haired omega was the youngest, out of their packs' presented members, Tanjiro had a strong sense of leadership. Tanjiro, in a sense, was the perfect omega he had a kind, gentle, warm, and motherly personality which made him a great pack leader.

Inosuke knew he could trust Tanjiro with anything, so he felt comfortable enough to go to the red eyed omega for help. The beast breather made his way to the water estate where their pack had been staying ever since Tanjiro's adoptive older brother, the water hashira, became mates with the flame hashira and moved in with him at the flame estate. Tanjiro had even been lucky enough to be taken on as the flame hashira's tsuguko, which only served to cement the youngest omega as pack leader.

Zenitsu, on the other hand, was extremely pathetic in Inosuke's eyes. To him the blonde alpha was nothing but a whimpy little crybaby that acted more like a stereotypical omega than the prime alpha he was. And by some miracle, the sound hashira had been generous enough to take Zenitsu under his wing alongside Inosuke, much to the blonde alpha's chagrin. The boar headed omega brought himself out of his thoughts as he approached the gates to the water estate. Inosuke made his way in and walked around the estate until he found his pack sitting on the engawa sharing a meal.

The green eyed omega eagerly approached the other two slayers once he caught sight of the food. His packmates were quick to notice his arrival thanks to their heightened sense of smell and hearing. "How are you doing, Inosuke? Would you like to join us?" The red eyed omega greeted Inosuke with his usual kind, warm, and welcoming personality that never failed to make Inosuke feel like a pup being greeted by their mother. The blonde haired alpha looked slightly annoyed that his alone time with his mate had been interrupted, but he wasn't going to shoo Inosuke away even if he wanted to.

Inosuke sat down next to the other two and immediately started eating the plate of tonkatsu, yakitori skewers, and rice that the other omega had kindly offered him. "I thought you were still staying at the butterfly estate." Zenitsu didn't bother hiding his annoyance at the black haired omega's presence while he lazily picked at his food. Inosuke paused for a minute, what did he come here for again? Inosuke shrugged, he had completely forgotten about his prior quest in favor of the tasty food in front of him.

Tanjiro gently nudged his mate to remind him not to be rude to the other omega. Zenitsu sighed and went back to eating, there wasn't any point in being annoyed with Inosuke anyways since he'd rather have his pack together where he could keep an eye on them. Inosuke didn't see what Tanjiro saw in the blonde alpha Zenitsu was too whiny and scrawny for Inosuke's taste, maybe Tanjiro just had a thing for pathetic alphas. He could judge Zenitsu later, right now he just wanted to eat the delicious food in front of him.

By nightfall Inosuke hadn't remembered what he'd originally sought out the burgundy haired omega for, he couldn't help but feel like it was something important. Inosuke felt frustrated at the fact he couldn't remember it so instead of preparing his bed for sleep he decided he'd rather get some late night training in. As he passed by Tanjiro and Zenitsu's room he paused when a particularly familiar scent caught his attention. The smell of the burning hyacinth incense sticks brought back the green eyed omega's memories of the nights he spent with the scarred violet eyed alpha.

The green eyed omega threw open the door and barged into the room. Zenitsu yelped and leapt behind his mate to hide after being spooked by the beast breather. "INOSUKE?! YOU NEARLY SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH!! CAN'T YOU OPEN A DOOR NORMALLY!??" The blonde haired alpha shrieked still hiding behind his mate and clinging to his arm. Tanjiro carefully put away his sewing kit, that he had been using to fix the blond alpha's haori, and looked up at the boar headed boy. "Inosuke? I thought you went to bed, are you having trouble sleeping?-"

Inosuke howled in frustration and charged towards his packmates, Zenitsu squeaked in fear, and braced for impact. "Inosuke wait!!" Luckily Inosuke stopped long enough to notice that Nezuko had been curled up sleeping against her older brother. Nezuko sat up from her spot next to Tanjiro, awoken from her slumber by all the yelling, and looked over at Inosuke. Nezuko tilted her head, stood up, and walked over to the green eyed omega to greet him. "Hmm mmmh!"

"Eeh?" Inosuke looked down at Nezuko, but shook his head after he remembered why he barged in. "Oi! Monjiro! I need you to tell me something!" The green eyed omega pointed aggressively at the red eyed omega. "Of course, what do you need to know?" Tanjiro gently patted a spot next to him and Zenitsu for the other to to join them. The blonde haired alpha buried his face in his mates sleeve, just appreciating how kind and considerate the burgundy haired omega was.

Inosuke made his way over and sat down, he furiously gazed at the other omega while he tried to sort out his words. How was he supposed to even begin to put into words what he was feeling? Inosuke could barely sort it out for himself. Nezuko, still in her smaller form, went back to being curled up by Tanjiro's side while Inosuke figured things out. "I need you to help me figure something out...how come..." he shook his head and looked back up at Tanjiro. "How come I keep getting all these stupid warm and fuzzy feelings whenever I think about what dumb alpha I spent my heat with?"

"It's called a crush, dumbass-" "Zenitsu! Don't be so rude!" Tanjiro glared at his mate, with no actual malice, then looked back at the other omega. "Are you talking about your 'cycle partner?" Tanjiro tilted his head. "Yeah! That one! How come I keep getting those stupid thoughts??" Tanjiro laughed a small bit, but gave Inosuke a comforting look. "Though he could have said it a little nicer, Zenitsu's probably right, you might have a crush on this alpha." Inosuke scoffed "No way! Crushes are for stupid omegas!" "Which you are!" "What'd you say?!" 

Inosuke grabbed the blonde by his yukata's collar and raised his fist to punch him. "Stop fighting! Both of you!!" The burgundy haired omega scrambled to separate the two. "Inosuke, calm down! Zenitsu, stop antagonizing him!" Tanjiro was way too tired to be dealing with his packmates fighting like pups. "Inosuke, there's no shame in having a crush on someone, it's perfectly normal!" The green eyed omega shook his head again. "No!! You're wrong! It probably means I just wanna beat him in a fight!" The green eyed omega huffed and stood up.

The burgundy haired omega sighed in exasperation, there was just no talking to Inosuke when he didn't want to accept something. "Inosuke, it doesn't mean you're weak if you like someone." Tanjiro made the other omega sit back down before he did something stupid. "I know you have trouble accepting your omega side, but trust me, there's nothing to be ashamed of." Inosuke frowned and looked down, he just couldn't accept it. There was no way he'd be one of those omega's to fall for an alpha!

But what if Tanjiro was right? What if he was falling for the violet eyed alpha? Inosuke growled "no way..no way I'm one of those omega's who fall for some stupid alpha!" Tanjiro gave Inosuke a sad, but sympathetic look, he understood how the other omega felt. He knew Inosuke hated feeling vulnerable so he understood that Inosuke would just need more time to understand his feelings and accept them. Nezuko let out a frustrated huff at the green eyed omega, she was tired and just wanted to sleep, but couldn't due to the fact that the three boys kept making noise.

"Inosuke, I think you should get some sleep, maybe you'll have an easier time understanding yourself in the morning after a good night's rest." Tanjiro stood up, grabbed a spare futon, and layed it down on the ground for Inosuke. "You're welcome to stay with us for the night, just like old times" the burgundy haired omega smiled kindly at Inosuke, and the green eyed omega couldn't help but feel comforted by him. "Fine.." 

The boar headed omega gave up on fighting for now, Tanjiro was pack matriarch, he knew what was best so Inosuke would just have to listen for now he didn't want to upset Nezuko even more than she already was. Zenitsu looked annoyed at this, but didn't object to having Inosuke stay in their room for the night. The four settled in for the night with the two mates sharing a futon, while Nezuko curled up against her brother, and Inosuke buried himself in the blankets that Tanjiro had later given him.

Inosuke struggled to fall asleep that night, because to him something was missing, no, someone was missing. Inosuke frowned and tried to shake that feeling, but no matter how hard he tried every part of his being missed being curled up in Genya's arms at night. He missed the warmth the alpha brought him and Inosuke couldn't stand that lonely feeling. A comforting hand was placed on his back drew the black haired omega's attention, as he looked back he saw Tanjiro giving him a warm and gentle look. With that Inosuke found it just a bit easier to fall asleep, though his dreams brought his violet eyed and hyacinth scented alpha back to him.

Genya couldn't get the green eyed omega out of his head, he couldn't stand the fact that his every waking thought and dream had been taken up by thoughts of the wild omega. The black haired alpha was soon dragged ruthlessly back to reality by the pup he was holding, one of his nephews, hitting him in the head with a toy. "Tsk, ow..yeah, you're definitely Nemi's." Genya winced and rubbed his head, it would probably bruise since it was a wooden toy after all. The small pup innocently looked up at his uncle, his white hair, and pale purple irises reminded Genya of his precious older brother, though this pup definitely had his father's eye shape.

Genya's other nephew, Shinya, had Gyomei's black hair, Sanemi's eye shape, and dark brown eyes which Genya guessed probably came from Gyomei's side of the family. Though Tsubasa was the younger twin he was more outgoing when compared to his older brother Shinya. Genya hoped the two would be able to stay close as they grew up, he didn't want them to grow apart like he and Sanemi did. Genya placed Tsubasa back in the playpen with his brother once he heard footsteps approaching, the alpha looked over at the door anxiously.

The door opened and the blind alpha stepped in. "Thank you for watching them, Genya." Gyomei put his rosary beads away to pet Genya on the head when the younger alpha walked up to him. "How's Nemi, is he alright?" The younger alpha knew pregnancy was rough on his brother due to the fact that it had taken such a long time for the albino omega to accept his secondary status and to not only feel comfortable enough, but to also feel safe enough to stop taking suppressants.

Unfortunately due to the fact that Sanemi had been on suppressants non-stop for so long that it had negatively effected the rest of his body. Sanemi's body had trouble regulating his hormones, pregnancy symptoms, and he no longer had a stable heat cycle as a result. At least that's just what Genya knew, but he suspected it effected his brother more than he let on. "Sanemi's fine, he's resting at the moment, but the morning sickness has taken a lot out of him today." The blind alpha quietly prayed for his mates health.

The violet eyed alpha could tell by his mentor's scent that he was worried and Genya couldn't blame him because he was worried too. Why wouldn't he be? The last pregnancy Sanemi had was extremely rough on him, carrying twins was already hard enough on him, but to also still be in the early stages of recovering from his long time use of omega suppressants? Genya didn't want to think about how horrible and terrifying it must have been for his brother, especially when he almost miscarried after dealing with too much stress.

He remembered hearing Sanemi sobbing and apologizing to Gyomei, while the stone hashira tried his best to comfort Sanemi and reassure him that it wasn't his fault. Genya had never heard his brother cry like that before, and he never wanted to hear or see him cry like that ever again. Thankfully in the last two years Sanemi had recovered, his pups were very healthy, and had been developing properly. Though it took a while Sanemi finally felt ready and safe enough to have another pup, Genya couldn't be happier for him and Gyomei, but he still worried for Sanemi.

"You can go see him if you'd like" Genya nodded and stepped out of the room while Gyomei spent some time with his sons. The young alpha made his way through the stone estate to Sanemi and Gyomei's room. Genya quietly opened the door, taking care not to be too loud in case Sanemi had a headache, walked over to the bed where Sanemi was laying, and sat down beside him resting his head on his folded arms. "Hey Nemi, how're you feeling?" Genya quietly asked, doing his best to hide just how worried he was, but the white haired omega saw right through his brother.

"I'm fine. Don't worry so damn much. It's just morning sickness, Gyomei's just being overprotective again." Sanemi sat up to prove to Genya that he was in fact fine. The violet eyed alpha seemed to relax a bit more once he saw his brother at least had the strength to sit up on his own. Sanemi hit Genya over the head "Tsk, both you and Gyomei are worrying way too much about me. This isn't like last time." Genya rubbed his head "ow, yeah, you're definitely Tsubasa's mom. Both of you like hitting me on the head when I'm out of it.."

The albino omega simply rolled his eyes at his younger brother. Regardless of how much Sanemi pushed Genya away, the younger brother always wanted to be with him, especially since for the longest time Sanemi was the only family he had. And for the longest time Sanemi felt like he couldn't do anything to protect Genya from the danger he naturally attracted, so he tried everything to drive him away. Thankfully Gyomei had been able to work with Sanemi and help him feel like it truly was safe for him to have a family again.

"..can I hug you?" "I'm assuming you won't leave until I let you, so just get it over with." Genya pulled his brother into a hug before Sanemi could change his mind. The albino omega let out a huff, patted Genya on the head, then shoved him off. A few minutes later Gyomei stepped into the room carrying Shinya and Tsubasa. The scent of his pups immediately drew Sanemi's attention away from his brother, Gyomei smiled lovingly in the direction of his mate and sat down next to him with their sons.

Sanemi smiled as he watched his pups make their way over to him, Shinya curled up on his mother's left side while Tsubasa hugged the white haired omega, and playfully messed with his mom's hair and face. Genya smiled, he was happy seeing that his brother had been able to move past his prior hatred towards his own secondary gender and be able to start a family with someone he truly loved. The black haired alpha was also happy for his mentor since he knew just how much the blind alpha struggled when it came to trusting people due to his past, so the fact that he and Sanemi found love with one another warmed Genya's heart.

To the violet eyed alpha, Sanemi and Gyomei were more like his parents than his brother and brother in law. The rest of his pack seemed to feel the same way as sometimes Sanemi would jokingly refer to Genya as his first pup, Gyomei wouldn't correct Genya when the younger alpha accidentally called him 'dad', and both of the pups sometimes called Genya their big brother. Though Sanemi probably wouldn't say it out loud, he felt most content whenever he had his pack together like this, he wrapped his free arm around Genya, and brought him into a side hug.

The young alpha knew better than to bring attention to it so he just leaned against Sanemi's right side and hoped his brother wouldn't retract his affection. Gyomei carefully brought his mate and pups into his protective arms and quietly said his prayers. As warm and comforting as this felt, Genya couldn't shake the feeling of loneliness, but as much as he didn't want to he knew that deep down it was because he was still longing to have his wild green eyed omega by his side. At least, he hopped that Inosuke would be his, Genya closed his eyes and tried his best to focus on his pack in front of him.

After yet another long and grueling week apart the wild omega and the hyacinth alpha were reunited, albeit in a more aggressive way. The two growled at each other while they caught their breath, both of them had been sparing for about an hour, their weapons had long been discarded. Genya's yukata had been thrown to the side along with Inosuke's boar mask, the omega did his signature laugh before he charged at the alpha. Genya's expression turned more sturn as he stood his ground, Inosuke charged right into Genya, the alpha blocked Inosuke's headbutt with his arms, and glared at him.

Inosuke smirked at Genya before catching the other slayer off guard by dropping down and kicking the alpha's legs out from under him. Genya yelped when he hit the ground, before he could respond Inosuke was already pinning him down. "Hehe, nothing but a pathetic small-fry" The omega smirked, confident in his victory. "That's not what you were saying when we were together" Inosuke sputtered at the alpha's response, Genya took advantage of the omega's stunned reaction, and used his strength to flip them both so Genya was pinning Inosuke down.

The omega got his revenge by faking a moan and wrapping his legs around Genya's waist. The alpha went bright red and froze up, Inosuke smirked and used his legs to throw Genya forwards. "OW. BASTARD." Genya scrambled to his feet and chased the omega around the training field with Inosuke laughing the whole time. "Honestly they should just get a room." Zenitsu watched the the chase each other around yelling insults at each other, completely done with the both of them. 

"They'll realize it soon enough" Tanjiro laughed "just kiss already!" Zenitsu shouted, but the other two had already chased one another far enough to where they couldn't hear him. The blonde alpha rolled his eyes and went back to eating his onigiri with Tanjiro. Inosuke yelped when Genya tackled him onto the ground when he wasn't paying attention, he shoved his hand in Genya's face. "YOU CHEATED!" "I DIDN'T. YOU'RE JUST SLOW." The two growled at each other and wrestled in the dirt. Since Tanjiro made sure to keep an eye on the two, they knew that neither of them had to worry about the other going too far because Tanjiro would surely step in.

When the sun started to set Tanjiro called them in to go get washed up for dinner. Genya waited outside of the bathroom for his turn to bathe with an annoyed look on his face. "Tsk, what's taking that damn boar so long..?" He muttered under his breath until the door opening caused his sentence to trail off. The scent of aromatic herbs, burning lavender incense, and the distinct scent of rosemary, that he had grown so fond, of wafted out along with a certain black and blue haired omega. 

Genya was taken aback by the omega's beauty once again. Inosuke's damp hair glistening in the light, steam still leaving his body, and his eyes, oh his eyes, Genya couldn't look away from them. The sight of him brought Genya back to those precious moments in between bursts of sexual energy where he and Inosuke enjoyed the warmth of soothing waters together. "What're you looking at?" Genya shook his head. "Nothing. Just wondering why the hell you were taking so damn long." "Had to wash the smell of stupid alpha off of me."

Inosuke shoved past Genya before the alpha could see the blush on his face wasn't just from the heat of his recent bath. Genya tore himself away from his thoughts long enough to get his own bath in. As he soaked in the warm water a thought occurred to him, why was Inosuke even using aromatic herbs in his bath in the first place? The boar headed slayer didn't seem like the the type of omega to even bother with things like that in the first place. Genya shook his head again, it wasn't his place to judge Inosuke like that. 

Hell Sanemi would probably beat his ass for even questioning why an omega would choose something like that. 'It's not an alpha's place to judge' he'd say, after thinking about that Genya felt bad for even questioning it. Inosuke could do what he damn well pleased, it's not like he was Genya's omega anyways. Though admittedly it did make his heart ache thinking he'd only be able to see his wild omega in the ways he desired when the two were paired up for convenience sake.

After his bath Genya walked into the water estates dining room to eat with the others while still drying his hair. The black haired alpha sat down on the tatami mat flooring next to the blonde alpha. By the time Genya finished drying his hair Tanjiro walked in carrying a large tray of food for the other slayers to eat. Nezuko and Inosuke followed closely as the burgundy haired omega brought in their food. Inosuke, having no sense in boundaries, plopped himself down in the violet eyed alpha's lap.

Genya looked at the omega in shock, but quickly looked away from him when he felt his face stating to heat up. Zenitsu rolled his eyes and stood up to help his mate set the food down on the small table in front of them. Inosuke immediately snatched the plate of shrimp tempura up for himself and snickered in victory at the blonde haired alpha who didn't even have a chance to grab any for himself. Zenitsu was about to complain, but his lovely mate presented his mate with his own plate of tempura.

"Tanjirooo~ you're such an angel!" The prime alpha beamed at his omega and Tanjiro simply blushed and smiled at his husband's praise. Genya rolled his eyes and served himself some of the food served. He served himself some of the tsukemono, rice, miso soup, and yakizakana, though he had to furiously defend his meal from the greedy omega sitting in his lap. "Hey!! That's mine!!!" The black haired omega yelped when Genya stole some tempura from him. "You steal my food all the time! This is payback. Plus you have a whole ass plate of them."

Inosuke growled and looked to Tanjiro, expecting him to do something about it. Much to the black haired omega Tanjiro didn't swoop in and demand Genya return the stolen tempura. "Inosuke, surely you can share just a little. Genya's right after all, you do have a whole plate." Inosuke pouted and quickly ate as many of the shrimp tempura as he could before any more were taken from him. Genya sighed, offered some of his yakizakana to the green eyed omega, and smiled a small bit when the omega's eyes lit when he was offered more food.

I change my mind. Those two aren't sharing a room, I want sleep tonight. The brown eyed alpha grimaced and leaned against his mate. Tanjiro nuzzled Zenitsu for a moment before he returned to eating. Nezuko happily played with her brother's sleeves to keep herself busy since she didn't need to eat. After everyone had finished eating and retired to their rooms Genya layed on his borrowed futon staring at the ceiling. When the door slid open he was greeted by the sight of the green eyed omega.

Before he could say anything Inosuke stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. Genya got the message immediately and sat up to welcome the omega into his arms. Inosuke sat in his lap and with a purr he pressed his lips against Genya's. The alpha groaned into the kiss and pushed his tongue into the omega's mouth earning a sensual moan from him. "Should've guessed you wanted it with the way you've been acting." The alpha huskily muttered under his breath to the omega. "Dumbass." Inosuke wrapped his arms around the alpha's neck and went in for another deep kiss.

Their hands had started to wander over one another's bodies when suddenly Inosuke yelped as he was dragged off of the black haired alpha. "No, no, no, no. NOT HAPPENING." The two alpha's exchanged glares as the blonde haired alpha dragged Inosuke out of the room. "You two were in different rooms for this exact reason." Zenitsu huffed, he pulled the omega out of Genya's room, gave the other alpha one final glare, and slammed the door shut behind him.

Genya felt extremely disappointed, he layed back down on his futon, feeling completely annoyed and frustrated. What a damn prude. Genya sighed, he knew deep down he couldn't be mad at Zenitsu since he was the pack's alpha after all he was just doing his job. Though the blonde alpha wasn't pack leader it was still his job as the only alpha in his pack to protect it's members, especially it's omegas. And since Genya wasn't officially a member of Inosuke's pack he had no right to be with him in Tanjiro and Zenitsu's territory.

That and it was very late in the night so they should all be sleeping anyways. Genya threw his blanket over his head, he'd just have to settle for his dreams of the green eyed omega for now, and pray that one day he and Inosuke would spend a night together someday soon.

Chapter Text

 Since Genya had stayed over at the water estate him and Inosuke had been spending more time together, though Inosuke claimed he was just 'keeping an eye on the competition.' Despite the fact that they each longed to be by each other's side they still continued to butt heads like children. Even now while on a mission, chasing a demon through a forest, they still continued to fight over every little. "Watch where you're going!" Genya growled as the omega crashed into him. "You're the one who was in the way!!" Inosuke snapped at the violet eyed alpha.

"Well maybe if you took that damn mask off, you'd be able to see straight!" Genya grabbed Inosuke, holding him back as he reloaded his shotgun, and took aim at the demon's neck. The alpha fired his weapon twice to ensure that he took off the demon's head, though only one bullet was needed. Both slayers watched the demon turn to ash as it cursed both of them with its final breath. Inosuke wriggled free of the alpha's hold and glared at him, Genya rolled his eyes, dusted himself off and stood up.

"We should check around again to make sure we didn't miss any-" before the hyacinth alpha could say another word the green eyed omega was already using his seventh form of beast breathing to locate any remaining demons. "There's two more in that direction." The omega pointed confidently South-East. Genya couldn't help but be impressed by the omega's senses, but he refused to say any praise outloud since the omega would surely rub it in his face. The alpha reloaded his gun and followed Inosuke through the forest towards their next target.

The scent of blood grew stronger in the air as they got closer to the remaining demons. The scents strong, Tanjiro would probably hate it. I bet Monitsu would be whining like a little baby. But not me though! Because I'm Lord Inosuke Hashibira!! King of the mountains!!! The omega charged forward into battle with his signature laugh and the violet eyed alpha by his side. A sudden change in the way the wind flew through the alpha's air was all he needed to know that a demon had appeared behind him. Genya quickly pivoted on his left foot, took aim, and fired at the demon.

One shot missed completely while the other shot hit the demon's shoulder. Damn sneaky bastard. Genya growled as he stared down the demon in front of him. Inosuke stopped dead in his tracks for a moment in order to assess the situation. "Don't worry about me. Just get rid of that other demon, I'll check on you once I'm done with this one." "Don't tell me what to do!! You're my underling!! Got that! I order you to take care of this one, while I go take out the stronger one!" Genya gave the omega a confused look, but quickly threw himself back into battle as the demon lunged for another attack.

Once Inosuke was gone Genya felt more confident, more at ease knowing he didn't have to worry about accidentally shooting the omega due to his unpredictability. Inosuke eagerly sprinted in the direction of the second demon he sensed, every bone in his body felt excited. "Been way too long since I've had a good fight!! Hahaha!! Lord Inosuke coming through!!" The omega lunged into the forest clearing, scanning the treeline carefully for any movement, and smirked under his mask when he caught sight of the demon waiting in the trees. "Found you!"

The demon glared down at Inosuke before laughing. "They sent an omega to hunt me down?? I'd be offended if the notion of it wasn't so damn hilarious!" Inosuke matched the demon's glare and readied his weapon. "How about you stop yapping like a bitch and come down here to face me! I'll show you just what the King of the Mountains can do!!" The demon was in front of Inosuke before he could blink, and in one swift movement it kicked the omega through a tree. Pain shot through Inosuke's body, but he wasn't going to let that stop him if anything it strengthened his desire to win.

The omega recovered quick enough to dodge the demon's next kick and landed to the left of it with a laugh. "If I was a weakling I'd almost be impressed!!" Beast breathing, eighth fang: explosive rush!  The boar headed demon slayer closed the distance between himself and the demon in one swift charge forward. The demon growled, jumping back, and raised it's left leg to unleash its blood demon art. Blood demon art: Earth shattering wrath! The demon's foot colliding with the ground sent shockwaves through the forest floor which caused massive pillars of stones to rise up hitting Inosuke out of the way.

Damnit. Inosuke growled as one of the stone pillars slammed into him. He dug his swords into the stone pillar underneath him and held onto as it raised him up into the sky. When the pillar didn't stop rising into the air, Inosuke firmly planted his feet against it, kicked off, and pulled his swords free from the stone. The green eyed demon slayer cackled as he plummeted towards the ground, Inosuke used one of his swords to stab into another pillar, and slow his descent, before kicking off of the second pillar towards the demon.

The demon had taken the chance to try to run away, but before it had the chance to Inosuke kicked it to the ground and used it to soften his landing. The omega quickly took the demon's head off and laughed. "That'll teach you." The demon cursed at Inosuke while the omega stood triumphantly. That dumb alpha should praise me for doing all the hard work!- The omega quickly went back into a fighting stance after sensing the presence of another demon approaching. A figure walked towards Inosuke from the treeline, still covered in shadow, he couldn't get a good look at it, but all of Inosuke's senses said one thing. Demon.

"Oi, when you're done messing around come over and hel-" before the demon could finish his sentence Inosuke tackled him to the ground. "OW! YOU STUPID BOAR ITS ME!" The omega paused for a moment, grabbed the demon, and dragged it into the clearing. "Henya?" "Genya." "That's what I said! Why do you smell like a demon??? You look like one too!!" The omega growled at the alpha. Genya rolled his eyes "I thought I told you already. I have the ability to temporarily turn into a demon by eating demon flesh.

The wild omega gave the demon alpha a strange look. "DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M A FREAK WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE WEARING A SEVERED BOAR HEAD." The alpha barked at the omega. "SAYS THE ONE WHO EATS DEMONS!!! HOW'D YOU EVEN FIGURE THAT OUT?!? WEIRDO!!" Genya growled at Inosuke and tackled him, the two spent about 10 minutes wrestling each other in the dirt until Genya turned back into a human. Moments later Kanao had met back up with them and separated the two without a word.
Inosuke pouted, still completely convinced he would have won, Genya was more frustrated with himself for even liking the omega.

And as for Kanao? Well she couldn't care less, she simply left after separating them so she could go check on the other demon slayers that were sent with them. "You should praise me you know." Genya looked back at the omega and tilted his head. "I took care of that demon all by myself!! I didn't need help at all!!" The violet eyed alpha could tell the omega was beaming as he sang his own praises. The older slayer sighed, he was right after all, it had been a long night for them both so it was the least he could do. Genya pat the short black haired boy on the head and smiled. "You did great out there, good job."

Inosuke felt his face heat up, was he blushing? Why? He had been praised like this before, but it never felt like this! So what was so different about being praised by this alpha? Inosuke was glad he had his mask on, he didn't want Genya to see how red his face was. What? No! He wasn't blushing! Surely his face was just red from all the fighting he was doing! It was hot out, it was almost mid August after all! Genya however saw right though him, how could he not? He had seen the omega get this way after he praised him before, albeit under 'different circumstances', he knew just how Inosuke was.

Genya smirked, carefully lifted the omega's mask so his left ear was exposed, leaned in, and whispered to the omega. "Good boy." The alpha pulled back, still holding the omega's mask up slightly, and watched with a mischievous smile on his face as the boar headed boy became wildly flustered. "H-hey!! You can't just say stuff like that!!" Inosuke tugged his mask back down to hide his face again and looked away from Genya. "Why not? I know you like it when I call you that."

"S-shut up!! You're such a stupid alpha! you know that!?" Inosuke could deny it all he wanted, but he truly wanted to be praised by the alpha more. Genya laughed a bit as the omega punched his shoulder, "haha, okay, okay, I'll stop messing with ya." He couldn't help but smile at Inosuke, he genuinely liked moments like this, it felt like they were finally starting to become friends.

Moments where Genya and Inosuke were left in each other's company had become more and more common, and neither could really object. Of course they still butt heads every now and then, but they didn't get as aggressive with each other as they used to. For some reason Inosuke had started randomly gifting Genya things like shiny pebbles, pretty leaves, feathers, and even an a few acorns. Genya had no idea why Inosuke had started doing this, but he didn't mind it too much. The hyacinth scented alpha even decided to keep the trinkets in a small wooden box on his dresser.

It was yet another hot and humid August day, and all Genya wanted to do was absolutely nothing. It was way too hot for the black haired alpha to even think straight, but the sound of footsteps made him perk up, he sat up on the engawa he was laying on and looked over at the door. Sanemi appeared in the doorway and looked visibly upset "Oi, those annoying friends of yours are here to see you, either go with them or tell them to fuck off." Not wanting to cause any trouble for the pregnant omega, Genya quickly got up to go see what Sanemi was talking about.

Though Genya already guessed who exactly his brother was talking about. Genya made his way to the front gate to greet their visitors, he smiled a small bit when he saw Tanjiro's pack waiting for him by the gates joined by Kanao this time. Tanjiro was talking to Gyomei while Zenitsu was cowering at the sight of the blind alpha behind him, and Kanao was holding Inosuke back so he didn't start a fight. Genya happily walked over to the group, Tanjiro was the first to say hello. "Genya! How are you doing? We were wondering if you wanted to spend some time with us!" 

The burgundy haired omega smiled at his friend with his usually warm demeanor, much to the blonde alpha's jealousy. "Yeah, it'd be nice to get out of the house for something other than a mission or training, ah, no offense, Gyomei!!" The alpha quickly apologized to his mentor after he realized how it could be taken. The blind alpha laughed and simply patted Genya on the head. "Go have fun with your friends, Genya." The younger alpha smiled at Gyomei before giving him a hug and leaving with the other teens.

Gyomei headed inside to go check up on his mate and pups as soon as Genya left, he knew Sanemi was feeling better today, but he still wanted to make sure. Sanemi in the meantime was trying to get their pups to eat the mashed sweet potato and rice porridge he had prepared for them. "C'mon, Tsubasa, I thought you liked sweet potatoes." Sanemi held his frustration from his voice, while Tsubasa refused to eat the spoonful of mashed sweet potatoes that his mother offered him. Sanemi sighed and offered the spoonful to Shinya, much to the omega's dismay his second pup didn't want sweet potatoes either.

Shinazugawa sighed, put the spoon down, picked up the one that had been in the rice porridge and offered it to his sons. Shinya was just about to accept the rice porridge when Gyomei walked in, the black haired pup's eyes lit up at the sight of his father. "Papa's back!!" Tsubasa followed his brother's gaze to Gyomei and also started to reach out for the blind alpha. Gyomei could tell his mate was upset, so he walked over to help the albino omega feed their sons. After another 5 long minutes the tired parents were able to get their sons to finish their meal before being put down for a nap.

Sanemi sat down on their bed with a loud sigh, he leaned against his mate and looked up at him for comfort. It didn't take Gyomei much to know how his mate was feeling, he pulled Sanemi into his lap and held him close. "..I don't think I'm very good at being a mo-" "Don't say that about yourself, Sanemi. You're a wonderful mother to our sons. You're doing great." The blind alpha knew that even though it was mostly Sanemi's pregnancy hormones making him feel this way, he also knew that Sanemi did genuinely fear that he wasn't a good enough parent.

The omega buried his face in his mate's chest and tried his best not to let his hormones make him cry. "If you tell anyone I get like this I'll kill you." Gyomei laughed at his husband's threats, he scooped Sanemi into his arms, stood up, and spun him around a small bit with a smile on his face. "But if you kill me, then who's going to give you kisses? And whose blankets are you going to steal in the night? Who's going to help you with the pups? And whose hand are you going to almost break when you go into labor?"

Sanemi couldn't help but laugh at his mate's remarks, Gyomei didn't need to see to be able to tell his lover was smiling again. "Alright, alright! Put me down already!" The blind alpha gently laid the white haired omega down before carefully joining him in bed and pulling him into his arms. Sanemi smiled and nuzzled his alpha, Gyomei nuzzled him back with nothing but love and adoration for the omega. "I love you Sane" "I love you too, Gyo." The two mates shared a gentle and loving kiss. 

It had taken them a long time to get to where they are now, but regardless of how many hardships they faced, they deserved this. Though their peaceful moment was interrupted by the sound of two pups crying in the next room. "Sorry, I'll go take care of them." Gyomei quickly got up to go take care of their sons, Sanemi rolled his eyes and made himself comfortable until his husband's return.

Meanwhile the Kamaboko pack and Genya made their way through a nearby village enjoying the sights, smells, music, and especially the foods of the local fireworks festival. Since the sun had yet to go down Nezuko wouldn't be able to join for some time, so Kanao carried her box while Tanjiro and Zenitsu walked ahead of the group. Kanao didn't seem to mind though, since Genya could tell her and Nezuko were very close. Genya paused for a moment when he felt something wrap around his waist, he looked down to see Inosuke holding onto him tightly.

Hiding his head under the alpha's arm, Inosuke cautiously watched the crowds of people walking past them. "You alright there?" Inosuke looked up at Genya for a second then quickly went back to scanning for danger. "Uh, Tanjiro? I think something's wrong with him" Tanjiro turned to look at Genya and Inosuke. "Oh, sorry, Inosuke's not good with crowds so he needs to hold onto someone to feel secure. Inosuke, do you want to hold my hand while we're here?" Inosuke looked over at Tanjiro, looked back up at Genya, and shook his head.

"Genya, you don't mind keeping him company, do you? I think he wants to stay with you for right now." "Uh, yeah, sure..I don't mind." Genya nodded shyly, he looked down at the omega and some part of him was glad that the omega he had begun falling for found comfort in him. Inosuke stayed glued to Genya until the sun went down and more food stalls started getting set up. By then Genya was getting dragged around by Inosuke to every stall that served the green eyed omega's favorite foods, Genya had to admit to himself, he enjoyed seeing Inosuke happy like this.

Genya couldn't help but blush a little as the omega lead him around by his hand, he loved seeing Inosuke having fun. Wait, loved? Love, was that what Genya felt for the wild omega? He knew he had a crush, but a crush was simply a crush, right? Was he actually falling in love? Genya wasn't sure, but for some reason that realization didn't scare him in the slightest. He sped up a little to keep up with the omega, without even noticing it, his smile grew. After noticing Zenitsu's concern, Tanjiro gently reassured the blonde alpha that their boar headed friend would be safe with Genya.

When the fireworks finally started Inosuke seemed to get even more excited. "Oh!! Those things!! The god of festivals took us to go see them a while back!!" Inosuke looked back at Genya and excitedly pointed up at the fireworks and the hyacinth scented alpha laughed a little. "The god of festivals' took you and your pack to go see fireworks?" Inosuke nodded "he's the sound hashira!!" "Ohh, you mean Uzui, okay, I know what you're talking about now." The two had been so focused on one another that they didn't notice the alpha in front of them.

"OI! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" A black haired alpha with cold turquoise eyed snapped at Inosuke when he accidentally walked into him. The aggressive reaction was enough for Genya to draw Inosuke back and protectively wrap his arms around the little omega. "Tsk, it's you." Inosuke growled back at the alpha, Genya looked down at Inosuke. "You know him?" "Wish I didn't." The green eyed omega seemed to have nothing but hatred in his eyes for the alpha in front of him.

"Kaigaku. Back off." A low growl from behind them was all Genya needed to hear to know that Inosuke's pack had come to back them up. Zenitsu stood firmly in front of the rest of his pack baring his fangs at the ice eyed alpha. "Agatsuma. Heh, should have known your ass wouldn't be too far behind this skank." "WATCH IT." Genya growled, baring his teeth at the stranger, and holding Inosuke closer in his arms. Tanjiro, Kanao, and Nezuko all seemed more intense as well, Genya was glad they all agreed to hate this alpha.

Kaigaku rolled his eyes. "Hmph, whatever. Keep your damn pet on a leash. Oh, and Tanjiro, if you ever wanna know what a real alpha is like, you can swing by any time~" with that the turquoise eyed alpha turned and disappeared into the crowd. Tanjiro's only response to the lone alpha was his glare he only reserved for the worst of demon's. Nezuko moved closer to her brother to comfort him and his husband, while Kanao looked over at Genya and Inosuke. "You two okay? He didn't hurt you did he?" The violet eyed alpha gave one last glare in the direction Kaigaku left in and quickly checked over Inosuke.

"No, we're fine. Zenitsu, who was that?" Genya carefully guided Inosuke back over to the group and made sure to keep him away from the crowds of people. After noticing a few people staring due to the commotion and the scent of an upset pack the blonde alpha finally spoke. "..Let's go somewhere quiet..." Zenitsu wrapped his arm around his mate and gently guided him away. Tanjiro leaned against Zenitsu as they walked, Kanao took Nezuko's hand following closely behind, while Genya kept Inosuke in front of him as they walked.

The pack found a few benches on the outskirts of the village away from all the crowds, commotion, and prying eyes. Only a few street lights kept the area lit while a few flower bushes and trees decorated the edged of the small road that ran through the secluded area. Once they all sat down Zenitsu explained to Genya just who that alpha was. "His name is Kaigaku Inadama, him and I were trained under the same master, for a while I thought of him as an older brother..but when I saw him for what he truly was I wanted nothing to do with him. He's a bastard who only cares for himself."

Zenitsu took a breath in then let it out before he spoke again. "He's always been jealous of me because our master payed more attention to me than him since I could only master the first form of thunder breathing. And as his revenge he always tries his damndest to ruin anything I have going for me. By the time I ran into him again me and Tanjiro were already bonded, when he saw that I had a genuine mate he started going after Tanjiro. He's a damn creep, always does whatever he can to try and split us up because he can't stand seeing me happy. That rat would just love to sweep my place beside Tanjiro and my role as lead alpha out from under me. And what's even worse is he's already tried to take Inosuke for himself before." That was all Genya needed to hear.

And to be frank Genya didn't really need to hear any of that in order to pray for Kaigaku's death, the way he treated Tanjiro and Inosuke just now was already more than enough. "That fucking bitch! I should've beaten that bastard while I had the chance!" Genya growled as he stood up. "That wouldn't do any good. He'd probably just go after Tanjiro or Inosuke to get back at us if we tried to hurt him." Kanao grimaced as she spoke, but from the look on her face Genya could tell she wanted to hurt the turquoise eyed alpha too for the way he treated their friends.

Two two omega's stayed close by each other calming the other down with their scent. Tanjiro had rested his head on Inosuke's while the other omega had his eyes closed as he focused on using his scent to comfort his pack leader "I think we should head home, it's getting late.." Tanjiro muttered, though they were all used to staying up till dawn none of them had the energy to stay out after what had just happened. The six stayed put for a few minutes before they stood up and walked back to the water estate in silence.

As soon as they returned to the water estate all six of them felt more at ease. Zenitsu and Kanao took charge of preparing a simple dinner for their pack while Genya, Nezuko, Tanjiro, and Inosuke rested in the dining room. Nezuko stayed close to her brother, hugging him tightly, and comforting him with her scent. Genya couldn't help but feel anger on behalf of Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu, but all of that faded when he felt the boar headed omega nestle up against him. Genya turned all his attention onto Inosuke to keep himself from flying into a rage. 

"It's been a long night, you're welcome to stay over." "Thank you- Oh! Tanjiro, can I borrow some paper and ink? I think I should write a letter for Nemi and Gyomei so they don't get worried about me." The burgundy haired omega nodded, got up, walked away, and returned with the supplies needed for a letter. Genya thanked the young matriarch and quickly wrote a letter to his brother then called his crow down to deliver the message for him. After dinner the pack members retired to their rooms Kanao and Nezuko staying in a spare bedroom, Tanjiro and Zenitsu in theirs, Inosuke in his room, and Genya in the room he stayed in the last time he spent the night.

The alpha had just barely laid down when the door opened and closed, he turned to look at the door, and his eyes softened at the sight of the green eyed omega. Genya sat up and patted a spot next to him on the futon, Inosuke quietly walked over to him and hugged him tightly before sitting in the alpha's lap. Inosuke didn't have his mask on so the only thing preventing Genya from seeing his face fully was his hair. "Ino? You okay?" The alpha gently rubbed the omega's back and released a comforting scent.

"I don't care right now..can't sleep..not on my own anyways.." The omega's words trailed off as he pressed his lips against Genya's. The alpha kissed the green eyed boy back and spoke once their kiss ended. "Are you sure you're okay?" "I just wanna forget about tonight. So give me something else to remember instead." With that Genya pulled Inosuke down with him and under the blankets. That night there was no interruption, just the alpha and omega in each other's arms once more.

Chapter Text

It had been two months since Genya and Inosuke began sleeping with each other again, the pair shared two more heats, and two more ruts together as well. Though they still had yet to tell one another how they felt, they chose to express their affection for one another through their actions. "Haah~ Mngh!~ a-alpha!!" "C'mon, sweetheart, you know my name. Say it. I wanna hear you." "Mmnh!!~ G-en-YA!!!~" The omega moaned in pleasure as he was fucked against the wall of an abandoned old shed.

Inosuke's face was pushed up against the wall, while his hands braced himself, and his legs shook as they struggled to keep him up. Genya kissed the back of Inosuke's neck and leaned down to press his chest against the omega's back, quickening his pace. "Sorry" the alpha quickly apologized, much to the confusion the omega "huh?". The omega yelped when Genya pulled his cock out, spun him around, lifted him up, and slid his dick back inside. "M-more!!~ fuuuuck!~" The alpha kissed Inosuke's neck as the omega wrapped his arms and legs around Genya's body while he held him against the wall.

The green eyed omega whimpered as he felt the alpha's cock carve it's way through his pussy, messing up his insides with every powerful thrust in and out. Inosuke wanted more, he wanted Genya to fuck him so hard he wouldn't be able walk out of here on his own, they could blame it on an injury during battle if anyone asked. "G-Genya~ mmnh!~ NNGH!!~ oooh!!! Fuck!! Fu-ck..f-fuck me harder!!!" "Ngh, fuuck~ anything you want, Ino!~" Genya gripped the omega's hips harder and drove his cock deeper.

Inosuke moaned loudly and clawed the alpha's back as he felt Genya strengthen his thrusts. The green eyed slayer moaned out as the violet eyed slayer angled his hips upwards to hit right into his g-spot. "F-UCK!!~ Mmnh!~ ahhhh, h-hey no b-iting! Someone will s-see~" Inosuke whimpered as Genya left bites on his neck and shoulder, being careful not to bite his scent gland. "Let 'em se-e. Haaah, 's not like they g-go- mmph~ got a c-chance with you. Ahh, n-ot when I'm fuckin' you like th-is~" Genya struggled to string a sentence along as he thrusted into the omega's tight cunt.

Inosuke wantonly moaned as he buried his face in Genya's shoulder. The violet eyed alpha kissed Inosuke's head and continued to fuck into him. Genya groaned as Inosuke clenched down around his cock. "Haah, fuck~ s-so tight.." "m not tha' tight~ mngh!~ NNGH!!~ Ohhh fuuuuck..!~ You're s-so biiiig!!~" Genya held him tightly and ground his dick into the omega, carefully moving so he rubbed up against the omega's clit. "Hahh, it's only 19 centimeters, you can take it, can't you Ino?~" Inosuke let out a small whimper and looked away when he felt his face heating up.

Genya leaned closer to him and sensually whispered in his ear. "I know my good boy can take me all night~ Mngh, a-and still want more~" Inosuke moaned in pleasure, but he was ashamed to admit that the alpha wasn't lying. The two breathlessly made out as they chased their orgasms together, Inosuke groaned as he felt the pressure building up inside him. "Ngh, 'm c-close!~" Genya pressed his forehead against Inosuke's. "Mnghh~ m- nngh~ me t-too~" The alpha was doing his best not to cum inside the omega since they didn't have any protection.

As well as the fact that at the moment Inosuke was only given birth control the week of and the week before his heat. Genya pulled out of Inosuke, before the omega could complain he set him down so he was leaning against the wall, dropped to his knees, spread the omega's legs, and buried his mouth in Inosuke's cunt. The omega yelped in surprise and whimpered when he felt the alpha's tongue tease his clit. Genya groaned in pleasure as his tongue was met with the sweet taste of the omega's pussy.

Inosuke threw his head back and moaned as his legs shook and struggled to keep him from falling. Genya's eagerly licked the walls of the omega's soft pussy, he gripped the Inosuke's right thigh with one hand and stroked his own cock with the other. Inosuke's face was burning up, he gasped as Genya's hand moved from his thigh to his dick. The alpha didn't need to look up at Inosuke to know how much he was enjoying it, he could tell just by the sweet noises the omega was making. Genya drove his tongue deeper, lapping up every gush of slick the omega had to offer.

The omega bit his lip as the alpha ate him out and stroked his dick. Genya slightly tightened his grip on the head of the omega's cock as he slid his hand down. Inosuke covered his mouth to try and prevent himself from making any noises that might make the alpha hornier, he wasn't sure if he could last much longer. Genya forget about pleasuring himself after he started to focus more on how he could make the omega cum. Inosuke cried out as he reached his orgasm, cum spurted all over Genya's hand, and slick gushed out into the alpha's waiting mouth.

"G-GENYAAA!!!~" The omega screamed in pleasure, he ground his hips down on the alpha's tongue as the violet eyed slayer greedily lapped up the copious amounts of slick coming from him. A few minutes later Genya helped Inosuke down to rest on his knees. "Good boy" The Genya pet Inosuke and omega purred as he was praised. Inosuke turned bright red as he watched the alpha lick his cum off of his hand. "My turn." Inosuke eagerly gripped the alpha's cock, bent down, and took it into his mouth. Genya bit his lip as he watched Inosuke bob his head up and down, swallowing his dick with ease.

Genya gasped as the omega made one long continuous lick from his taint to the tip of his cock before he swallowed his cock once more. Inosuke did this all while maintaining eye contact with the violet eyed alpha. Genya panted and tried not to buck his hips into the omega's mouth, not wanting to choke him with his dick, but Inosuke would probably like that. The alpha threw his head back in pleasure, groaning as the omega sucked him off, and grabbed a fistful of the omega's hair. After a few more minutes Genya lost control and started to buck into the omega's mouth, he panted and closed his eyes tightly.

Inosuke moaned and gripped Genya's thighs as the he thrusted his cock in and out of his mouth. The alpha howled in pleasure as he came down Inosuke's throat, the omega did his best to swallow every last drop of cum. After Genya was done cumming Inosuke pulled off his cock, gave the alpha's knot a quick lick before kissing the alpha. What was only supposed to be a simple kiss soon evolved into yet another makeout session between the two lovebirds. After finishing, they made sure to get themselves cleaned up as well as clean up the mess they had made incase someone later stumbled upon the abandoned shed.

"You two took a while to get back." Zenitsu eyed the black haired alpha and omega with a skeptical gaze. "The demon was a bitch to track down. Made a bet with Inosuke that he could track it without using his breathing technique." Genya muttered a lie as he moved past the blonde alpha. "I can tell when you're lying, dumbass, you two should get washed up. Seriously, you two smell like nothing but sex." The blonde alpha wrinkled his nose at the pair and walked off. Genya turned bright red at the other alpha's words.

Inosuke looked at Genya like he was an idiot. "Why'd you lie? He's not blind, he can see the damn bite marks you left on me." The omega scoffed at the alpha's lapse in judgment. Genya buried his face in his hands feeling like a dumbass. "What's wrong? Thought you wanted everyone to see-" "Shut up..!" The alpha groaned and quickly made his way to the washroom to properly get cleaned up along with the omega. Genya made Inosuke take a bath first since knowing him he'd probably want to go see Tanjiro afterwards, and the burgundy haired omega probably wouldn't want to know what his friend had been up to because of a certain strong smell.

After Inosuke finished up Genya immediately rushed in to get himself washed up and do his best to get the scent off of him. He definitely didn't want to go home and risk his brother catching him with the smell of an omega and sex on him. The white haired omega would probably kick his ass for carelessly fooling around with someone. Once he got himself cleaned up he quickly got himself changed into one of the spare yukatas he had been keeping at the water estate ever since he had started sleeping over more and more.

Genya made sure to wash his clothes and hang them up to dry before he went to go see where Inosuke had gone off to. The alpha soon found the omega outside in the training field with the only other omega in the pack. "He's training?? Seriously???" The alpha muttered under his breath, he sat down to watch the two spar for a while. Genya laughed a bit at the notion of the fact that just a few hours ago the omega couldn't even stand or walk without his legs shaking under him. Then again that's how Inosuke liked it- Genya mentally smacked himself for thinking like that again.

Genya ended up having to spend the night at the water estate since his clothes hadn't fully dried by the time he finished eating dinner with Inosuke's pack. Inosuke tried to visit him, but was quickly shooed away by a very tired Zenitsu who didn't want to be kept awake all night by them. In the morning Genya woke up to the green eyed omega curled up by his side however. The violet eyed alpha smiled warmly at the smaller slayer and gently brushed his fingers through his hair. Inosuke woke up after a few minutes and looked up at Genya with bleary eyes.

"Sorry, you can go back to sleep." He kissed the omega on the head, placed more of the blankets onto him, and got up to see if his clothes were fully dried. Inosuke curled up in the blankets and hugged Genya's pillow, appreciating the scent of the alpha before going back to sleep. A few moments later the hyacinth alpha returned wearing his regular clothes, he carefully placed the folded up spare yukata next to Inosuke, and kissed him on the head before leaving. He said goodbye to Tanjiro who he had past in the hall of his way out.

As Genya made his way back to the stone estate, the black haired alpha took his time getting back since he knew Sanemi would probably be grumpy. The omega just wasn't a morning person and the fact that his morning sickness was usually pretty bad Genya couldn't blame him. The alpha definitely didn't want to stress Sanemi out so he made sure to wait outside until the sun had fully risen. When Genya finally entered the stone estate he was met by the smell of breakfast cooking so he made his way down to the kitchen.

The violet eyed alpha greeted his older brother and his mentor as he walked in, Sanemi simply nodded at him while staying focused on the miso soup he was cooking. Gyomei waved at the younger alpha and continued to focus on getting the two pups to eat. Genya decided to make himself useful and began helping Sanemi set the table and offered to help the omega with making the rest of breakfast. Sanemi denied his brother's help in cooking since it was one of the few things the omega could do on his own in his condition, and the white haired omega wasn't about to let Genya take that luxury from him.

The next two weeks went by quick for Genya, not too much happened, but at the same time Genya couldn't stop feeling restless. The black haired alpha growled in frustration, grabbed his gun, wakazashi, and made his way outside to the stone estate's training field. As soon as Genya got outside he was caught off guard by something tackling him to the ground from behind. "SON OF A-" "I WIN!!!" The alpha looked up to see Inosuke laying on top of him, the omega looked rather proud of himself. "Inosuke?!? The fuck are you doing here?! And what the hell are you even talking about????"

The omega laughed and and removed his boar head. "I caught you off guard so I win!! I deserve some praise for that!" Inosuke closed his eyes with a proud smirk on his face and held his fist against his chest. Genya huffed and sat up, Inosuke yelped as he fell off of the alpha's back and glared at him. "Hmph, Inosuke you can't just tackle people out of nowhere and expect praise. And you didn't even answer my first question!" "I wanted to see you!!" "You saw me this morning!" The two exchanged annoyed glares for a minute until Genya sighed, gave up, and gave the omega a pat on the head. "Good job, I guess."

If Inosuke had a tail it would surely be wagging at the alpha's light praise for him. Even though the omega's antics sometimes annoyed the alpha, Genya would honestly rather have the green eyed omega by his side than not. Inosuke headbutted his side like an affectionate cat searching for affection, and much to the omega's delight, the alpha gave him that affection. Genya ruffled up Inosuke's hair and gave him a kiss on the head to appease the omega's desire for attention. Without any warning Inosuke grabbed the alpha by his hand and dragged him away from the stone estate.

"Whoa, hey! Where're we going???" Although Genya wasn't expecting it he didn't try to pull his hand away from the green eyed omega and simply followed him. Inosuke looked back at the black haired alpha with that mischievous look on his face that told Genya all he needed to know. He smirked and sped up to keep pace with the omega. "So, that's what you're really here for. C'mon, I know a place we can go." The alpha took the lead and took Inosuke to the wind estate. Though his brother no longer permanently lived in the wind estate their pack occasionally stayed there in the winter so it was still being maintained.

Genya brought Inosuke to his room in the wind estate then closed and locked the door behind them. The green eyed slayer wrapped his arms around the violet eyed alpha's neck and brought him down into a kiss. As their kiss turned heated both the alpha and the omega desperately undressed the other with clumsy hands. Genya scooped Inosuke up into his arms and dropped him onto the bed, the omega bit his lip at the alpha crawled over him, and placed himself between his legs. Inosuke brought Genya down into a kiss and wrapped his legs around the alpha's waist.

Inosuke moaned as Genya moved his kisses from his lips, down his neck, and down to his chest. The omega shivered as he felt the alpha's hands running down his thighs and his fingers sliding inside of him. Genya made out with the green eyed slayer while he fingered and stretched him out, Inosuke moaned into the kiss and arched his back when he felt the alpha's fingers slide deeper inside. Once Genya felt that the omega was stretched out enough, he carefully guided his cock to Inosuke's entrance, and pushed inside.

"Mmnph!~" Inosuke groaned as the alpha bottomed out inside him, he pulled away from the kiss trying to catch his breath. The alpha set a slow and deep pace with his thrusts, Inosuke moaned and hugged Genya tightly. Out of all the times the two had slept together this was probably the closest to what they could call 'making love.' There wasn't any need to try to be quiet, any strong mating urges, and no need to rush. They could be together as long as they wanted so the two took their time showing each other affection.

Genya affectionately kissed Inosuke's neck as he rolled his hips into him, the omega groaned and bucked his hips into the alpha's thrusts. Soon their slow pace began to speed up gradually, their pants and moans became more desperate as their pleasure ramped up. Genya began deepening his thrusts and putting more power into them, much to the enjoyment of the omega. Inosuke moaned and gripped the alpha's shoulders as he became more excited. The violet eyed alpha kissed Inosuke again before sitting up and bringing Inosuke into his lap. The omega yelped a small bit, but eagerly rode the alpha once he adjusted to the new position.

Although they tried their best to have a nice slow time together, the two just couldn't resist their eagerness. Genya growled in pleasure as the omega squeezed his cock tighter, he thrusted his hips harder into Inosuke's cunt, and he couldn't help but get a little rough with his green eyed omega. Inosuke bit Genya's shoulder and groaned as he bounced up and down in the alpha's lap. The omega would always deny it if he was asked, but truthfully Inosuke absolutely loved being manhandled by the black haired alpha.

"Haaah!~ f-uck!!~" Inosuke cried out in pleasure as Genya eagerly thrusted into him. "G-Genya!~" The alpha panted and groaned as he quickened his pace, Inosuke sobbed and moaned as Genya's cock began to bump against his womb's entrance. "S-so deeeep!~ fuck!!" Genya growled and bit down on the omega's shoulder and smacked his ass. Inosuke yelped and jumped a bit, then glared at the alpha, Genya smirked mischievously and kissed him again. Inosuke accepted the alpha's kiss as an apology, though the omega should have been more cautious when it came to his partner's more mischievous side.

Genya pulled Inosuke off of his lap, turned him around, pinned him down, and slid his dick back into the omega's pussy. Inosuke gasped in pleasure, gripping the blankets tightly, and moaned as Genya started thrusting his hips into him. The alpha growled, he bit down on Inosuke's shoulder, grabbed the omega's hips tightly, and pounded into him. "Mngh!!! Fuuu-ck!!~ NNGH!!" Inosuke moaned loudly before he bit down on the pillow in front of him and kneaded it with his hands like a cat. "Mngh!!~" Inosuke groaned and Genya thrusted harder and harder into him.

The alpha groaned when he felt the omega's cunt squeezing him tighter. "Haah, you're c-close, aren't you?" He kissed the back of Inosuke's neck drawing a shutter out of him. "K-knot m-mee!~" Genya blushed a bit at the omega's cry. "Inosuke, I don't-" "s fine! I c-convinced Shinobu to let me..ta-ke the damn p-pills early!" "Inosuke h-how long have you been taking it?" Genya huffed out his reply trying to focus more on his words than his actions. "A-almo-st a w-week" Inosuke a bit of a harder time with his words since unlike the alpha he was more focused on his own pleasure.

Genya rested his chin on the omega's shoulder. "Could have said something...mnh..e-earlier.." "f-forgot to s-say it, ngh before we started" Inosuke nuzzled Genya "A-alright, alm-ost a week, s-should be long enough." He kissed Inosuke again and sped his pace back up again. The omega whimpered when the alpha did so, deep down the two knew they should have been more careful. But they were too lost in the moment to car properly. Genya panted and closed his eyes, all he focused on were the sweet noises the omega made and how he could get him to make more of them.

Inosuke writhed in pleasure when he felt the alpha's knot start to swell. It was all the omega could think about, all he had thought about for the past few days. Genya kissed Inosuke and thrusted deeper into him, the alpha knew he'd probably later regret his decision, but right in the moment he didn't care. And neither did Inosuke, the omega was begging for his knot and all the alpha could think about was giving him what he wanted. Genya groaned and kissed the omega underneath him again. "Mngh!~" Inosuke moaned into the kiss as the alpha's knot pushed inside of him.

Genya pulled Inosuke down onto the bed with him to rest. The omega nuzzled him and gave him another mischievous smirk. "We're gonna be here all night, aren't we?" Genya nuzzled the omega knowing full well what Inosuke wanted. "Is that even a question you need to ask?" The alpha laughed and just kissed the omega again. Inosuke felt content to be in Genya's arms again, and he felt even more content after being filled up by the alpha again. They hadn't been able to see each other the week before Inosuke's last two heats so tonight being just two weeks before the omega's heat was definitely a special occasion for them.

After about 20 minutes the two were back at it again, neither of them planned on leaving any time soon either. Both were too excited about the things to come that neither of them put too much thought into any of their actions. They'd both soon live to regret their carelessness.

It had been a few weeks since the black haired alpha had seen the wild omega, he hadn't shown up to spend his heat with him, he hadn't shown up to the stone estate for a visit, he hadn't seen him while on missions, and Zenitsu hadn't let Genya see him. Genya just didn't understand, the alpha knew he should have been suspicious, but when he asked Tanjiro about it the omega told him that Inosuke was feeling really sick and just hadn't been in the mood to interact with anyone. Genya felt worried for Inosuke, but didn't press any further since Tanjiro wasn't lying, it was always easy to tell when Tanjiro was lying or trying to hide something. 

As much as Genya wanted to see Inosuke and ask him what was going on with him bigger part of him didn't want to risk bringing home whatever sickness he had to Nemi and the pups. Genya knew he should've pressed Tanjiro for more details, but at the same time he knew that if it was really what he was thinking then Tanjiro definitely would have told him. The burgundy haired omega just wasn't the type of person to hide something that important from a friend, especially when it came down to the wellbeing of a another friend.

So once he got a letter from Tanjiro saying that Inosuke wasn't sick and wanted to see him he immediately made his way to the water estate. Genya felt extremely worried, what did Tanjiro mean by 'Inosuke isn't sick?' Was he faking it? If so then how did Tanjiro not catch on? Or was it something else? Was Inosuke avoiding him or something and just pretending to be sick as an excuse? Tanjiro was a very kind omega so if that was the case he probably would have given Inosuke the benefit of the doubt if he had been pretending to be sick. Genya shook his head, what the hell is going on????

All of Genya's concerns were soon justified when he arrived and saw Zenitsu standing outside of the gates with an angry expression on his face. The blonde alpha didn't say anything to Genya as he brought him to Inosuke. "You better take some serious damn responsibility, or I'll kill you for this." Zenitsu growled at him when they stopped at Inosuke's door. The hell does he mean by that??? Is Inosuke okay??? Is he saying what I think he means..? Genya nodded though he wasn't sure what he was agreeing to just yet. The blonde alpha knocked on Inosuke's door to let whoever was inside know that they were there. 

Footsteps could be heard inside the room, the door slid open, and Tanjiro walked out alone. he gave Genya a look that he just couldn't place, was he mad too? Worried? Or was he trying to prepare the alpha without saying anything? The burgundy haired omega took his mate by his arm and lead him away, leaving Genya standing outside of Inosuke's room. The violet eyed alpha cautiously stepped into the room, closed the door behind him, and carefully approached the black haired omega who had buried himself in his blankets. Before Genya could say anything Inosuke took the blankets off, sat up, and looked the alpha.

Anxiety filled Genya's body as he looked at Inosuke. W-was he crying???- "S-Shinobu figured out what was wrong with me.." the omega looked down he just couldn't look at Genya for what he had to say next. "...turns out I wasn't actually sick.." "Inosuke...what do you mean by that..?" Dread started to fill Genya's body and replace the anxiety he had. The omega took a deep breath in and tried to muster up the courage to say his next words. After what felt like forever, though only a few minutes, Inosuke finally spoke.

"...I'm pregnant." And just like that Inosuke confirmed all of Genya's worst fears.

Chapter Text

"W-what..? Inosuke, i-if you're joking t-that's not funny.." "I'm not joking! ...I'm pregnant....S-Shinobu said that the damn pill isn't 'as effective as it needs to be' she said something about it 'not being advanced enough'..I don't fuckin get it..." Inosuke mentally glared at himself feeling like an idiot. "A-alright...do you..know what you wanna do with it yet?" Genya sat down next to Inosuke and waited for his answer. "..I-I don't know...." Inosuke closed his eyes, feeling ashamed of himself for not having yet decided. "H-hey, it's okay, you don't have to decide right now. We'll figure something out when you know. Don't rush, okay?"

"Okay.." Genya pulled the omega into his arms and rubbed his back to comfort him. "I'm here for you, no matter what." The alpha gently kissed Inosuke's forehead and grabbed a blanket to wrap around the green eyed omega. The two stayed like this for a while until Tanjiro came into the room with some food, along with Zenitsu who closely followed after his mate. The blonde slayer glared at the other alpha, but Genya couldn't honestly blame him. After all this situation could easily be seen as a rogue alpha gaining the trust of the pack just to steal one of the omegas for themselves.

Genya couldn't blame Zenitsu if he saw it that way since that's probably what Kaigaku had tried to do in the past. At least, that's what Genya thought. Though the two alphas had slowly become friends, the blonde alpha could easily see it as Genya trying to take his pack from him. That was the last thing the black haired alpha wanted though. He refused to be that type of alpha and he refused to treat Inosuke as a prize to be stolen away from his pack- his family! Inosuke stayed curled up by Genya's side for a bit longer until the violet eyed alpha offered him a bit of tofu and brown rice.

Genya felt a small bit of relief seeing Inosuke perk up, even just a little, at the sight of food. Tanjiro felt some relief as well, knowing how close the two were he had probably been extremely worried about the other omega. Zenitsu had stopped glaring so much after seeing Tanjiro's reaction, but he still kept a close eye on the black haired alpha. Genya couldn't care less though, because right now the only thing he wanted was to make sure Inosuke was okay. "So. What're you two planning on doing?" Zenitsu eyed the other alpha carefully, watching him for any signs of him bringing danger to the boar headed omega.

"..We haven't decided..we'll go see my brother in the morning, him and his mate should know what to do and maybe have some advice for us.." Genya removed his yukata and gave it to Inosuke as the omega got ready to curl back up in his nest. The green eyed omega eagerly took the yukata from him and curled up with it before burying himself in the blankets. Genya smiled at Inosuke and gently placed a hand on him. "I'm willing to support Inosuke in whatever he chooses to do. I'm not ready to be a father though..but, I'll help him take care of it if he ultimately decides on keeping it." 

Tanjiro and Zenitsu accepted his answer after sensing no signs of deception in his words. After the other two left Genya sat with his head in his hands trying to get his thoughts straight. What am I talking about?? I don't even know the first thing about being a good father...does Inosuke even want a mate..? What if I end up like my father?? I'm not ready..what if I end up hurting him??? Just as he was about to stand up, the feeling of Inosuke's hand holding onto his arm, pulled him from his racing thoughts, and grounded him again. "..Please...don't go.." Genya looked back at the green eyed omega. He'd never seen Inosuke look so scared and vulnerable, it broke his heart.

Genya hated seeing him like that. "Inosuke..I'm not leaving you. I'm just...gonna get some more pillows and blankets for you.." The green eyed omega still looked worried, but hesitantly let him go. Genya gave Inosuke a kiss on the head before getting up and leaving. As he exited the room he mentally kicked himself for having momentarily considered running off. What was I thinking?!?! Why the hell did I even consider that?!? The fuck is wrong with you, Genya?! The black haired alpha shook his head and made his way to his temporary room in the water estate to get the things he promised. "Nemi's gonna kick my ass."

His brother's reaction was a problem for the morning, right now Inosuke needed him and he wanted Inosuke to feel secure right now. When the black haired alpha returned with the nesting material Inosuke immediately snatched them from him and started adding them to his nest. Genya gave the green eyed omega a small smile and helped Inosuke expand the nest. Though the black haired alpha wasn't ready to start a family with the omega he still loved him. Love, the violet eyed alpha paused for a bit, looked over at the green eyed omega who was still rearranging the blankets, and smiled a small bit.

I love him..I love Inosuke, Genya finally admitted it to himself, but he wasn't so sure if Inosuke was ready to hear it or if he wanted to hear it. That realization definitely explained to him why he was so scared of accidentally hurting the omega earlier though. Inosuke looked back at the alpha after noticing that he had stopped working on the nest with him. The alpha shook his head and went back to helping the Inosuke expand the nest. Once the two deemed their work good enough, Inosuke dragged Genya down into the nest with him. The hyacinth alpha smiled a small bit after seeing the green eyed omega return to his normal self for, even just a second.

Now that Genya was focusing more on his partner he noticed the omega's usual rosemary, amber, and cedarwood scent was now accompanied by the scent of milk and honey, a combination that only occurred in pregnant individuals and especially in pregnant omegas. So...this is really happening.. Genya held the omega tightly, he wasn't sure what would happen between them after this, but Genya was determined to try his best for him. That was the least he could do for Inosuke, the black haired alpha knew the green eyed omega was having a harder time than him so he had to support Inosuke as much as he needed.

Sanemi started his day as usual, deal with morning sickness, convince Gyomei not to worry too much, wake up his sons, and prepare breakfast for the pack. The scarred omega no longer had 'waking Genya up' on his morning routine since the violet eyed alpha had been staying over at the water estate more and more. As much as Sanemi would rather have Genya stay, he knew that every pup had to leave the nest eventually. He secretly dreaded the day his sons would leave the nest too and strike out on their own. He knew that, but he still hated it, his motherly side just wanted to keep his pups in his arms where he could protect them.

What he didn't know was that his brother was on his way back, with Inosuke in tow, to deliver serious news. But the wind hashira could tell something was up after he picked up on the distressed scent of his brother accompanied by an equally, if not more so, distressed omega. Sanemi stopped what he was doing then headed outside to the stone estate's main gate. As soon as Genya laid eyes on his brother he felt a rush of anxiety flow through his veins like blood. Inosuke looked at the other omega in curiosity, but stayed behind Genya, he knew better than to start a confrontation in another dominant omega's territory.

All it took for Sanemi to know what was going on was for him to take one good look at their expressions and body language then match those to their scents. The white haired omega closed his eyes, pinched his nose bridge, and shook his head. He definitely didn't expect to hear something like this from Genya so soon. "You've got to be kidding me, Genya. Are you fucking serious right now?!" "Nemi, I-I can explain-" "You will. Get the hell inside. We'll talk after breakfast." The older omega glared at the two of them before going back inside. Inosuke stayed close to Genya, but didn't say anything for a minute, then looked up at the alpha.

"..That's your brother..?" The violet eyed alpha nodded and rubbed the omega's back before taking him into the stone estate. "Yeah, but don't worry, he's actually really nice!" Inosuke was unconvinced, but kept it to himself as they walked inside together. Genya lead Inosuke to kitchen and had him sit down while he tried to see if Sanemi would let him help. The lavender eyed omega shooed his brother away as Gyomei walked in holding Tsubasa and Shinya. Inosuke looked at the two pups curiously, he'd never seen such tiny humans before, and it made him wonder. What would his own pup or pups look like?

He frowned, that wasn't something he had even thought of, nor had he even thought of a name. Inosuke shook his head, why was he thinking about that? He didn't even know if he was keeping it yet, so why should he even think about those things? Genya said it himself that he wasn't ready to be a father, so he probably didn't even want to keep it. But, he also said he'd support Inosuke's choice no matter what it was. The green eyed omega rested his chin on the back of his hand and propped his elbow on the table, feeling completely frustrated. All these stupid thoughts are making me feel like a damn omega.

He wasn't even the type of omega who wanted to sit at home all day rearing pups, cooking for an alpha, cleaning, or being obedient and submissive. That wasn't who he was, nor had he ever been like that in the past, so why did having a family not sound so bad? Inosuke quietly growled at himself, why was he even thinking that way? He's never wanted a family before! He's been living on his own all his life just fine, thank you very much! He didn't need a family to weigh him down or hold him back. But now that Inosuke was really thinking about it, he's never had a family before, he's never known what it was like to not have to fend for himself all the time, hell he never even had parents.

Sure the boars took care of him, but a human family just seemed different to him, way too different. Then again, his pack was probably the closest thing he had to a family or at least what he thought a family looked like. Tanjiro was like a mother, Zenitsu wasn't really like a father figure but he could probably count for something, right? And Nezuko was like a sister too. He didn't have a strong bond with Kanao though so he wasn't sure how to really feel about her just yet. All in all they were probably the closest thing he was ever going to get to having a family. Well, maybe until now that is.

From what the green eyed omega heard, Tanjiro and Nezuko lost their entire family, Zenitsu was abandoned by his parents, and Kanao's parents willingly sold her off so they didn't have to deal with her, or at least he thought it was something like that. So what was his original family like? Why did they abandon him? Did they not want him? Was he not good enough? Or was he not worth being loved? The more Inosuke thought about it the more upset he felt about the whole thing. Now it was his turn to decide what to do with a pup. And he couldn't help but feel scared about it, what if he made the wrong decision?

What if he messed his child's life up? Would it be better to not even have the pup at all? What would Genya think? He hasn't really given a clear answer on what he actually wants or how he actually feels, he's just said he'd support Inosuke, but what if Inosuke made a decision that would haunt the black haired alpha for the rest of his life?- Before Inosuke could spiral further into his thoughts, he felt a hand on his shoulder. The green eyed omega felt a sort of calm wash over him after realizing that it was Genya who had approached him.

Whatever he was worrying about just didn't feel so scary with the alpha by his side, but why though? Why was Genya the one thing to be able to comfort him? "Inosuke, are you feeling okay?" The omega opened his mouth to speak, but closed it, and looked away. Genya sat down next to the black haired omega and gently pulled him into his arms. Inosuke leaned into the alpha and just focused on the alpha's scent to keep himself distracted. Hyacinth, perilla, and vetiver were all scents that Inosuke was now accustomed to, all were scents that brought comfort, and all of those scents belonged to the violet eyed alpha.

The green eyed omega quietly thought about what their scent their pup would have, would it be more like Genya's? Or more like his? Maybe they'd have a mix of their scents, a perfect blend and reflection of their parents. Inosuke mentally smacked himself, why was he thinking like that again? The black haired omega was pulled from his thoughts once more after a tray of food was placed in front of him. Nattō beans, brown rice, miso soup, and tamagoyaki filled the green eyed omega's plate, he tilted his head a bit, where was the fish? He looked at what the other's were eating only to find that only him and the wind hashira didn't have fish.

Inosuke reached for the ones on Genya's plate, but much to his surprise the alpha moved his plate further away from him. The black haired omega gave the alpha an offended look and tried once more. "You're not supposed to have seafood! You're pregnant! Inosuke stop!" Genya held his food away from the green eyed omega and valiantly tried to guard his food. The blind alpha stopped eating for a bit after hearing Genya and looked at the white haired omega for an answer. Sanemi said nothing and simply drank his tea. Genya had been more focused on keeping Inosuke at bay to notice to his mentor's reaction.

The green eyed omega eventually gave up and pouted, he didn't understand why he wasn't allowed to have the foods he liked. Hell, Tanjiro also stopped feeding him fish and made him return any he stole from Zenitsu. Frustrated, he ate his breakfast and hoped he could actually keep it down this time. Inosuke did his best to finish his breakfast, but he struggled to do so. Genya helped him at least finish a few more bites, but ultimately the he wasn't able to finish his meal. After breakfast and after Gyomei left with the pups, Sanemi took on a more serious tone. Both Genya and Inosuke frowned knowing what the conversation ahead of them would entail, neither of them were ready.

"Either of you know how long he's been pregnant for?" Inosuke thought for a moment before answering. "Bout two weeks before my last heat was supposed to be was the last time..So probably like six weeks?" Inosuke answered hesitantly. "I'm not gonna sugar coat it. If you choose to end it early then you'd have until the 10th week of pregnancy before it becomes dangerous to do so. If you choose to carry it to term then you'd have more time to decide. You could either end it's life, abandon it, give it to someone else, or keep it." Inosuke felt a chill run down his spine K-kill it after it's born..? The green eyed omega felt himself fill with fear.

I-is that what my parents tried to do with me..??? I-is...is that why I was abandoned?? Inosuke shook his head, he couldn't do that, he didn't want to put another pup through what he went through, especially his own pup. "P-people do that..?" Genya's voice almost broke, he was visibly shaken, Inosuke felt some relief at the thought that the black haired alpha was on the same page as him. "I know it sounds cruel and it's definitely not something easy to think about or believe, but that's just the of world we live in. People don't think too much about it since most only consider children above the age of seven as human."

Sanemi gave the two a brief moment to process his words before he spoke again. "Killing a pup after it's born is known as mabiki, parents who cannot take care of or don't want their pups choose this option if they can't end the pregnancy early. It's most common in poorer families or those who don't want daughters, multiple sons, multiple pups from a pregnancy, or those who believe their child is a demon. Thankfully it's becoming less common. " Sanemi's voice never wavered, nor did he shake or look phased by his own words. "...Sanemi..w-why do you know all of this..?"

"..Because I considered not having my pups. At the time, I still wasn't sure of how Gyomei would behave during or after my first pregnancy. I wasn't sure if he'd 'change' as a result or not. I didn't want to bring my children into the world if their father was willing to harm them or their mother..I didn't want them to have the childhood we had. Before you ask, Genya, Gyomei knows." Genya's heart broke for his brother, he never knew about this. "Nemi.." the white haired omega put his hand up to stop him from saying more. "..I don't like thinking back on it. But I'd rather you two know all of the options you have. Even the ones I wish..didn't exist..."

The white haired omega's gaze mostly focused on Inosuke, the green eyed omega stayed quiet for a bit. "...I-I don't think I can do that.." "you don't have to, it's merely an option that some choose. I don't like the first two mentioned either, but unfortunately not every mother is lucky enough to have many options. As for the other options, it won't be easy to find someone who would be willing to take in a pup that isn't theirs, especially if you're near people who are more 'traditional minded,' but that isn't to say keeping the pup is any easier. For some having a pup is a dream come true, for others it's a complete nightmare."

Genya stayed quiet, he knew pregnancy was hard on anyone who went through it, but he never really knew how hard it actually was. "Like I said, you have until the 10th week of pregnancy to decide if you're going to carry to term or not. Since you're around six weeks through, however, that leaves you with only three to four weeks." Inosuke looked down. Only four weeks..? The green eyed omega wasn't sure if he'd be able to make a decision that fast, he was barely able to accept that he was pregnant, but deciding in only four weeks what to do? It seemed impossible and terrifying to him.

Genya held the green eyed omega's hand tightly, Inosuke could tell that he was probably feeling the same way he did. "You two don't have to decide right now, but you will have to. If you choose to end the pregnancy you'll have to speak to Shinobu about the medicine and the dosage. You can speak to Tomioka about the mental effects of it afterwards." Inosuke stayed quiet, everything sounded so complicated and impossible to understand completely. "..and what do you think we should do?" Genya hesitantly asked, hoping his brother could give him a straight and easy answer.

Sanemi sighed and closed his eyes. "It's not up to me, Genya. Rasing a child is difficult, so is giving one up. And some medicines and methods used to end pregnancies can be poisonous, you two really need to speak with each other and decide what you both want." The alpha nodded and looked over at Inosuke to see how he was handling things. The green eyed omega seemed to be lost in thought, he was clearly upset, and Genya didn't know what he could or should do to comfort him. The violet eyed alpha just wished he knew exactly what to do, exactly what would be best for him, Inosuke, and the pup. 

"..And if I don't end the pregnancy..?" Sanemi gave the green eyed omega a sympathetic look before speaking again. "Then you'd have to decide if you'd want to keep it or who you think would take care of it the best in your place. Pregnancy isn't easy either, believe me, I went through a rough pregnancy with my twins. Childbirth can be dangerous as well, lots of things can go wrong with the mother, the pup, or both." Inosuke looked worried, but he knew that the white haired omega knew all of this from past experience, he had no reason to try to scare him. What worried Inosuke more was that Genya was extremely quiet now.

"Don't rush any decisions. Talk with each other, and don't hide anything, that's the only way you two are going to figure this out. It's not my place to make a decision for either of you, so I won't try to influence either of you into keeping it or getting rid of it." And with that the wind hashira left the room to let the two speak in private. Inosuke looked at Genya, trying to gauge his reaction, he opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out, so he looked away, and stayed quiet. Genya opened his mouth to say something as well, but he too couldn't find the right words to say so he said nothing.

Sanemi made his way down the hall to his sons' room feeling absolutely exhausted due to his brother's situation. The stress of being six months pregnant definitely added onto it and didn't make it any easier. I know I wanted him to have a family one day, but I wasn't expecting the idiot to go and make one so damn soon. The white haired omega pinched his nose bridge just thinking about it. As soon as Sanemi got to his sons' room he immediately sat down next to his mate while their pups played together in their playpen. Gyomei wrapped his arm around his mate, nuzzled him, and released a calming scent after noticing Sanemi's stress in his scent.

The white haired omega closed his eyes, sighed, and laid his head on his mate's chest, just breathing in the blind alpha's comforting scent. Sanemi didn't keep his eyes closed for long though, he could tell his mate wanted to talk and he knew exactly what he wanted to discuss. "Just speak already, Gyo" The omega sighed and looked up at his mate. "..earlier, Genya mentioned that the omega he brought over was pregnant...I'm guessing that's why you were talking with them, isn't it?" Sanemi nodded. "Yeah, Genya's the father. I told them about their options and how dangerous it can be, they're still trying to decide."

Gyomei nodded and listend to his mate speak. "I'm not sure what they're going to choose, I'm also pretty sure those two are dense as hell." The blind alpha thought for a moment then looked back at his mate. "That omega, I somewhat recognized his scent, do you know who he was?" Sanemi racked through his memories for a bit before responding. "I think I saw him training with Uzui, but other than that I think he's a part of that Kamado kid's pack. Tsk, that brat better not get into this." "Kamado is a good kid though, Rengoku says he a very promising tsuguko."

The white haired omega glared at his mate for a moment. "Don't praise that brat in my presence." "You still mad he managed to headbutt you?-" "You're not sleeping in the bed tonight!" The omega pouted and turned his head away from his mate. Gyomei laughed and pet the albino omega, Sanemi swatted the alpha's hand away. "Alright, alright, I'm sorry." "Hmph, you're smiling." Gyomei nuzzled his mate and kissed him on the cheek. "Because you're being cute." "I'm not cute." The white haired omega was glad his husband couldn't see him blushing, but he knew that regardless the alpha could probably tell.

Sanemi got up, still refusing help from his mate, and picked up their two pups before placing them in their father's arms. "Attack." As if the two toddlers understood their mother's command they started to mess with Gyomei's face and hair. The blind alpha laughed and allowed his pups to mess with him, Sanemi couldn't help but smile the sight in front of him. He was deeply thankful he met Gyomei, fell in love with him, and started a family with the man. The white haired omega didn't need to hear it out loud, because he could tell that his husband felt the exact same way he did.

It had been two weeks since Inosuke found out that he was pregnant, and one week since he told Genya. The black haired omega still hadn't been able to make up his mind, he knew he had to make a decision soon. But he just felt so restless and the fact that he couldn't go out on missions, spar, eat a lot of the foods he liked, and was barely even allowed to train definitely didn't help. Everything just felt too much for him to think properly, and he hated thinking, so that only served to piss the omega off more. Genya had been taking on more missions so he wasn't able to visit as much as usual.

Inosuke didn't worry too much about it though, he was far to busy focusing on what he was gonna do with the pup to pay attention to the alpha. Inosuke hated not knowing what to do and he hated feeling so clueless about what he really wanted. The green eyed omega had never had a hard time deciding on what he wanted, he always charged head first into anything in the past, so why was he having such a hard time figuring out what he wanted? The black haired omega absolutely despised that he was taking so long. But any time he came close to figuring out what he wanted, a part of him always tore that decision down and questioned it.

The more he thought about getting rid of the pup the more upset he felt, but why? He never liked any of the pups he's interacted with in the past, granted he's never seen a baby before, the pups he's met in the past definitely hadn't impressed him either. Maybe it was just different because it was his pup instead of someone else's brat or maybe it was just his instincts messing with him. At least, that's what he hoped it was, Inosuke dreaded feeling like a typical omega. There had been a few times where Inosuke let himself imagine keeping the pup, but he often refused to let those thoughts get too far in fear of getting attached to something he'd probably lose.

Despite his efforts to not get attached, Inosuke started hating the idea of ending his pregnancy and or giving his pup away more and more. It was his kid afterall, why was the Great Lord Inosuke even concerned with what others would think? The green eyed omega soon found himself allowing himself to think about his pup more and more. He started thinking about what it'd be like to be a mother, what it'd be like to have a family, and even what it'd be like to be Genya's mate. Wait, why was he even imagining Genya as his mate in the first place? It wasn't like he was in love with him or anything!

They only fucked on occasion, took care of each other during their mating cycles, sparred with each other often, and slept in the same bed whenever Genya visited. Inosuke paused, that all sounded like things that mates did, the more the rosemary scented omega thought about it the more he realized one thing. He was falling in love with Genya, Inosuke felt his face heat up at the thought of it, the omega let his mind wander from his pup to the alpha who fathered it. Genya was tall, he was strong, his scars made him absolutely attractive in Inosuke's eyes, he was kind, gentle, and was definitely good at pleasing him.

All the things Inosuke secretly wanted in a mate, that and Genya was the first alpha he ever felt safe truly being vulnerable with. Inosuke had never wanted to admit it to himself in the past, but the evidence was overwhelming. The green eyed omega knew he couldn't hide it from himself anymore or deny it any longer, he was in love with Genya. He knew what be wanted now, but he wasn't sure how he'd put it into words, Inosuke was never good with words anyways. He could worry about that later though, right now he needed to find the black haired alpha. He threw on his mask, left his room, made his way out of the water estate, and set his sights on the stone estate.

Since it had already been late in the day when Inosuke left it was already getting dark out by the time he got to the stone estate. Just as he was about the knock on the door he caught the scent of the white haired hashira. Inosuke followed to scent and found the other pregnant omega taking things down from the clothesline. "If you're looking for Genya, you just missed him. He left on a mission with Gyomei about an hour ago." Inosuke was impressed by the albino omega's ability to notice him without looking, but he quickly felt disappointed at the fact that Genya wasn't there. Just as he was about to turn and walk away the hashira spoke again.

"It's too dark out for you to walk back alone. You're staying the night." "I'll be fine!-" "then what do you plan on doing if you run into a demon? It's not only your life you'd be risking." Inosuke didn't try to argue with Sanemi, he knew he was right. The older omega picked up the basket full of laundry and headed inside, nodding his head to the other omega to get him to follow. Inosuke followed the other pregnant omega and quietly watched as he put each piece of laundry where it needed to go. Sanemi brought Inosuke to Genya's room and laid down some more blankets for him to nest with.

"You can spend the night here, I'll send a crow to let your pack know you're staying over for the night." Inosuke put his mask down next to the bed and decided to keep following the other omega around, he was more interested in him than getting sleep. After putting the laundry away Sanemi brought his pups to the kitchen one at a time, so he could make dinner and watch them. Inosuke looked at the two pups curiously and began letting his mind wander, what would it be like when his pup was their age? Would they be well mannered like Genya? Or more rambunctious like him? The more Inosuke thought about it the more he'd rather have his first pup be more like Genya.

Tsubasa stared at the black haired omega curiously, the twins had only ever seen Inosuke a handful of times, but never really met him. The white haired pup eagerly reached out for him while his brother was more focused on watching their mother prepare dinner. Inosuke tilted his head and stared back at the toddler, completely confused as to what he wanted. Tsubasa put his hands down, looked over at his mom, then back at Inosuke. "Mama! Tsuba wants!" Sanemi looked back at his pup and didn't take long to understand what his son wanted. "He wants to meet you, go over and say 'hi."

Inosuke looked a little confused, but walked over to the white haired toddler and knelt down next to strange object the pups were sitting in. The black haired omega had never really seen such a thing, but he guessed that was because he'd never grown up in an actual home before. What appeared to be a strange object to Inosuke, only turned out to be a simple high-chair that seated two pups. Which Uzui had bought for Sanemi and Gyomei when their two pups were born, and it was quite an expensive gift since it came all the way from the West. While Inosuke was momentarily distracted by the high-chair, Tsubasa was messing with his hair.

Sanemi smiled at the sight, then went back to cooking. By the time the white haired omega was finished preparing the food for his pups, and almost done making the food for himself and Inosuke, the black haired omega was fully invested in playing with the toddlers. Shinya was playing with one of Inosuke's hands while Tsubasa and Inosuke made faces at each other. The lavender eyed omega brought over two bowls of rice porridge for Tsubasa and Shinya, as well as some mashed sweet potatoes and some chopped boiled vegetables. Inosuke moved out of the way so Sanemi could place the food in front of the pups.

The white haired omega made sure the twins started eating their food before he went back to cooking. Inosuke watched him and eagerly waited for his turn to eat, thankfully he had enough sense to know not to steal food from pups. It didn't take too much longer before Sanemi was finished with the rest of the food though. The lavender eyed omega served brown rice, nattō, edamame beans, and tonkatsu for himself and the other pregnant omega. Inosuke looked at the foods for a bit then looked up at Sanemi. "Where's the fish?" "Pregnant mothers shouldn't eat fish. It puts both the pup and mother in danger of sickness."

The white haired omega didn't look at Inosuke while he added things to his own plate, rather he only looked up on occasion to make sure the twins were eating. Inosuke frowned, but filled his own plate with the foods provided. though he really wanted yakizakana, he knew Sanemi knew better so he begrudgingly accepted he wouldn't be having fish any time soon. The two ate dinner quietly, Sanemi not too interested in speaking at the moment, and Inosuke too focused on food to care about anything he previously wanted to ask. After dinner however, the white haired omega sighed, and decided to start a conversation.

"Have you gotten any closer to deciding on what you wanted to do with the pup?" Inosuke felt nervous, but he quietly nodded in response. "You've decided to keep it, haven't you?" Inosuke nodded once more. The lavender eyed omega sighed, but didn't look angry at him. "Having a pup is going to be hard as hell, are you sure you can take care of one? Takes a lot of patience and a lot of responsibility." The green eyed omega thought for a moment, but nodded anyways. "I'm going to be honest with you, kid, I don't think you or Genya are ready for a pup, but I'll be damned if I let you two idiots rush headfirst into this on your own."

Doesn't think I'm ready? Who does he think he talking to?! Before Inosuke could argue he forced himself not to do so. The white haired omega had two pups and was already pregnant with another, so of course he knew better. It frustrated the green eyed omega, but he didn't say anything about that. "Once again, I'm not going to sugar coat anything. Pregnancy can be extremely dangerous. You or your child could die during childbirth, in some cases both the mother and the child die. Are you sure you're willing to risk that?" "If I was scared of dying I never would've been a demon slayer in the first place." "You're stubborn as hell, you know that?"

Sanemi fixed his posture to avoid his back getting too sore before speaking again. "You'll need to tell Genya about keeping the pup, he's the father so he should at least know. Even if you don't plan on him being in the child's life, him being the child's dad, or him being your mate. You'll also need to tell Shinobu so she can provide you with what you'll need throughout the pregnancy. Also so she can schedule checkups for you to make sure everything is going correctly." Sanemi was right, it was a lot, but Inosuke knew what he wanted now and he was determined to see it through.

It was late at night, or was it really early in the morning? Genya didn't care, he honestly couldn't when all his body wanted was to pass out in his bed and sleep forever. When he got back to the stone estate he couldn't care less about having missed dinner or taking a shower, he just wanted to lay down. He dragged his feet as he walked to his room and could barely keep his eyes open any longer. But all of the aches in his tired body suddenly stopped hurting so much when he got to his room and noticed a lovely scent. He no longer cared how tried he was once he noticed a familiar boar headed omega sleeping in his bed.

The tired alpha quietly made his way over to him and smiled when he noticed that the omega had fallen asleep while trying to build a nest. Genya carefully joined Inosuke in bed, pulled the blankets over them, pulled him close, and focused on his scent until he fell asleep. Inosuke woke up for a small bit, only to nestle in closer to the alpha before falling back asleep. They could figure things out in the morning, right now the only thing that mattered to them was each other. All that seemed to worry them before just didn't matter, not when the biggest thing they were worrying about at the moment was who was taking the most of the blanket.

Chapter Text

Genya woke up without a single blanket, having lost the previous nights battle against Inosuke. He would've found it endearing if he hadn't been dead tired from all the missions he's been on as of late. The violet eyed alpha couldn't really complain though, since he had been the one to personally ask the master for more missions. If he was going to take care of Inosuke then he needed to have enough money to do so. Regardless if Inosuke kept the pup or not recovering from pregnancy took a lot out of young omegas. Genya wanted to be there for Inosuke every step of the way, regardless of what the omega chose.

But in order to support Inosuke, he needed to be able to do so without his brother or mentor's help. So despite how tired the black haired alpha felt, he pressed on with each mission with nothing but Inosuke as his motivation. But deep down, Genya knew that he was just lying to himself. He knew that he was just using the missions as an excuse to stay away from the green eyed omega. It wasn't that he didn't want to be with him or the pup, it was his fear of hurting them that kept him away. He wanted to be there for Inosuke, he really did, but he was terrified of becoming his father and repeating the past.

Just as Genya's anxiety started to get worse, he felt himself being pulled closer to Inosuke. The green eyed omega held him in his arms, gently running his fingers through his hair, and released a calming scent for him. Genya hadn't noticed how fast he was breathing until he felt a wave of calm wash over him. He rested his head against Inosuke's chest, breathed in his scent, and once again felt grounded by the omega. Inosuke didn't really know himself what he was doing, but it just felt right to him. Maybe he remembered seeing Tanjiro do something similar or maybe it was just instinct, but either way he felt proud of himself for being able to calm Genya's nerves.

Genya wanted to hug Inosuke back, he wanted to love him and be loved by him, but his fear of hurting the omega made him pull away. Inosuke, however, was having none of that and pulled Genya closer. The alpha had to be honest with himself, he was deeply grateful that Inosuke pulled him back. The black haired alpha wasn't sure if he'd be able to face his fears without the omega by his side. "..Ino...can I talk to you about something?" The green eyed omega frowned a small bit, but nodded anyways. "Is it about the pup?" The alpha could tell by his scent that Inosuke was getting ready to put his guard up.

A part of Genya hated it, but he understood that most new mothers felt on edge around their mates in the first months of pregnancy. It was just instinct, and Genya didn't blame Inosuke one bit since he knew that even Sanemi had felt the same way about Gyomei once. It was more common in alpha-omega pairs like them anyways. The violet eyed slayer sat up and nodded for the omega to the same. "Yeah, it's about the pup-" "I'm keeping it." Inosuke answered firmly, protectively hiding his stomach from Genya while glaring at him. "A-and you have every right to..it's just...I'm scared.."

"Scared of what?" Inosuke lowered his guard and stopped glaring at Genya. "I..I don't know how to say this, Inosuke..but I'm scared of being a father..not because I don't want pups or anything, it's just...I'm scared I'll hurt you or the baby.." Inosuke tilted his head and looked at Genya. "Why would you be scared of that? I'm not defenseless! Even if you tried I could easily beat you in a fight if it meant protecting our pup." "I-I know you can...it's just.." the black haired alpha closed his eyes for a minute before he opened them and looked away. "I'm scared I'll end up like my father...h-he hurt my mother, he beat Sanemi because he was an omega, and he'd constantly hurt the rest of our siblings and me.."

Inosuke took Genya's face in his hands and made the alpha look him in the eyes. "Genya, you're not your father. You're not some asshole alpha. And even if you were I would have sensed it a while ago. Tanjiro and Monitsu would have been able to tell too!" Genya knew the omega was right, but it still didn't seem to be enough to quell his fears. "B-but what if I end up changing??? W-what if I end up being a terrible dad?!" Inosuke tackled him onto the bed and pinned him down before growling at him. "Then I'd knock some sense into until you went back to being you!" Inosuke hugged him tightly, releasing that familiar rosemary scent that Genya had grown so fond of.

Genya felt tears beginning to well up in his eyes, he ignored them and hugged Inosuke back. The green eyed omega nuzzled him. He felt himself feeling less frightened of the future, and more confident in himself. He'll pull me back if I slip up, we'll find a way to make this work. I gotta keep them safe, and maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to be his mate. Inosuke nuzzled him and brought him into a deep kiss as he pinned the alpha down. Genya let the omega do as he pleased, he felt more comfortable with Inosuke taking the lead this time. The green eyed slayer moaned into the kiss as he felt up the violet eyed alpha's body.

Inosuke had barely begun to undress the alpha when all of a sudden he perked up and began sniffing the air. Genya was brought of his haze and tilted his head up bit as he looked up at the omega. The green eyed omega's eyed seemed to light up a bit for a second then he grabbed the alpha's hand and dragged him out of the room. "H-hey wait! Slow down, Inosuke!" Genya struggled to button his uniform back up while he was dragged down the hall by the pregnant omega. "No way!! You're already too slow!! Come on!" As the omega eagerly pulled Genya towards the kitchen, the alpha sighed and shook his head after realizing why Inosuke was in such a hurry.

Breakfast, if there was one thing that could distract Inosuke from almost anything it was food. Genya couldn't really be upset at all since once he caught the smell of breakfast cooking he was reminded of his hunger from the previous night. The alpha sped up a bit after feeling his hunger return and kept pace with Inosuke as they made their way to the kitchen. Sanemi let out an annoyed sigh as his quiet peaceful morning was interrupted by the two teens rushing into the kitchen. "Oi, the foods not even ready yet. Stop acting like wild animals. Set the table if you two are gonna be this awake in the morning."

"Sorry, Nemi" Genya quickly apologized to the white haired omega and held Inosuke back so he didn't tackle Sanemi over a piece of beef. The green eyed omega eventually gave up after being distracted by the pups calling him over to play. While the omega played with the twins, Genya carefully set the table before taking a seat next to his mentor. Gyomei ruffled his tsuguko's hair as the younger alpha sat down next to him. While Genya watched Inosuke play with his nephews he let his mind wander. He thought about how the omega might play with their pup, how he himself would play with their pup, and how they'd take care of their little one together.

He soon found himself imagining what his life would be like with Inosuke, what their family would be like. And suddenly the thought of being a father didn't seem like such an impossibly terrifying concept to him. Of course Genya still held some fears and concerns for the future, but he no longer felt as scared as he was that morning. He felt more secure with Inosuke, he more comfortable thinking about the future, and he himself began warming up to the idea of being a father. By the time Genya came back to reality, breakfast was already place on the table in front of him. Inosuke sat down across from the violet eyed alpha and eagerly filled his plate with the food offered.

Sanemi, who was sat next to Inosuke, had to defend his own plate from the other omega. The white haired omega snarled at Inosuke a bit when the boar headed boy tried to steal a few tonkatsu from his plate. "There's a whole damn plate of it in front of you! Genya, control your damn omega." Genya laughed and offered a few pieces of tonkatsu from his plate to the green eyed omega. "Just think of it as practice for when Shinya and Tsubasa are old enough to steal from your plate." Sanemi huffed and muttered something under his breath as he ate. The violet eyed alpha smiled at the fact that Inosuke was already becoming comfortable with his brother.

After breakfast, Genya walked Inosuke back to the water estate to ensure that the omega got home safely. Though the black haired alpha knew the omega would be fine going alone, he didn't feel comfortable letting him do so. Inosuke didn't mind however since he saw the alpha's protectiveness as an excuse to have more time with Genya. As they approached the gates, the sounds of Inosuke's pack training immediately drew the omega in. The two followed the sounds over to the water estate's training grounds where they found Tanjiro sparing with his mentor, Kyojuro. Not wanting to distract the burgundy haired omega, the two took a seat next to Zenitsu and Giyuu on the engawa.

Genya didn't personally know Giyuu or Kyojuro since he only recognized them from the times Gyomei had brought him along for training with the other hashira. So the alpha stayed quiet while Inosuke pulled the blue eyed omega into a hug. The water hashira seemed a little caught off guard after being dragged into a hug by the green eyed omega, but didn't attempt to push him away. Zenitsu rolled his eyes at Inosuke's behavior and just took a sip of water from the gourd he was holding. Genya sat down next to the brown eyed alpha and accepted the water the other man offered him. "Everything okay? Tanjiro was a little worried after Inosuke ran off yesterday"

"Yeah, everything's okay. Inosuke made his decision about the pup, so it looks like I'm going to be a father." Zenitsu gave him a sympathetic look as he placed a hand on Genya's shoulder. "Good luck living with two Inosukes. You will be dearly missed." Genya laughed at the other alpha's joke. "I think I'll be alright." "I've been living with that omega for longer than you, trust me you'll need all the luck and help you can get." "I'll take your word for it-" Genya and Zenitsu yelped after Tanjiro was thrown into them out of nowhere. "Ow, sorry!!" The red eyed omega brushed himself off and tried his best to keep his mate from charging at Rengoku for accidentally tossing him.

"Ah, my bad, Kamado! I guess I put in a bit too much force!!" "YOU THINK?!?!? COULD YOU NOT THROW HIM AROUND SO CARELESSLY!!!!" Zenitsu shouted angrily as the red eyed alpha trotted over to them to check on them. "Kyojuro you need to be more careful. What if you threw him into Inosuke?" Genya immediately looked over to the green eyed omega who was peering over Giyuu's shoulder at them. While the flame hashira apologized profusely to his mate and the others, Genya gently pushed Tanjiro's legs off of himself and went to check on Inosuke. The rosemary scented omega swatted Genya away and assured him that he was okay.

Zenitsu was still fuming and glaring at Kyojuro when a white haired alpha walked out of the estate and looked down at them. "Hey, what's going on?? I left for like 10 minutes-" Genya froze up at the white haired alpha's gaze fell on him. He knew exactly who he was looking at, none other than, the one and only, Tengen Uzui. "Ah, so you're the alpha who went and got my tsuguko knocked up." Tengen glared down at Genya, immediately being able to discern that he was the father of Inosuke's pup based souly on the description that the omega had given him. "Y-yeah..that would be me-" 

Tengen picked up Genya and tossed him onto the grounds of the training field before jumping down and landing next to him. "Sorry Rengoku, but your training with your tsuguko has been cut short. I need to get a little revenge on Gyomei's tsuguko for putting mine out of commission." "For the last time, old man, he's not your son! You don't have any right to 'defend his honor" Zenitsu shouted in an annoyed tone, but his argument fell on deaf ears as the sound hashira tossed Genya a bokken to spar with. Genya nervously stood up, even though he was used to training with Gyomei for some reason the thought of training with Tengen terrified him.

But it was more likely the fact that all the times Gyomei kicked his ass during training wasn't personal. Right now, if he took Zenitsu's words as truth, he might as well be fighting Inosuke's father. As soon as the black haired alpha stood up the sound hashira vanished from his sight and seemingly reappeared out of nowhere behind him. Genya barely had any time to react before Tengen sent him flying with a powerful kick to his side. H-he's fast as hell!! How am I even supposed to keep up???? This guy's Inosuke and Zenitsu's mentor?!? The black haired alpha rolled with the fall for a bit to aid in getting back up and took note of the white haired alpha's movements.

Without the aid of his wisteria bombs and his twin nichirin cleavers the sound hashira's attacks wouldn't be lethal, but they would definitely hurt. Genya's best option would be to dodge as much as he could, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to land a hit on Tengen, but he'd be proud of himself if he managed it. Training with Tengen was completely different than training with Gyomei, with the blind alpha it was mostly on improving Genya's swordsmanship. With Tengen, however, it was more focused on Genya blocking the raw fury of the crimson eyed alpha's attacks.

While Genya did have experience with a wakazashi, he wasn't as skilled with a bokken or a katana. The weight between the three were just too different for him to be comfortable with. But it seemed like Tengen also had that same problem as he kept making movements as if he had another hand to hold a second bokken. It seemed like he still wasn't used to using sound breathing with only one hand. But still he fact he was still able to easily control Genya's movements throughout the fight was impressive. Instead of relying on his weapon the sound hashira instead relied on corralling Genya into different places around the field and attacking in his blind spots while he was distracted.

Genya dodged to the right as Tengen kicked his left leg out at his side and ended up dodging the bokken that the other alpha was swinging at him from the right by just a hair. The black haired alpha dropped down and put all his weight onto his hands as he pushed off the ground and sent both his feet into the white haired alpha's stomach. Tengen barely moved, but seemed impressed that the younger alpha was able to even land a hit. "You learned that from the boar, didn't you?" Before gravity could take Genya back the white haired alpha grabbed him by his ankle and swung him down onto the ground behind him.

The violet eyed alpha gasped for air as the wind was knocked out of his lungs from the fall. Tengen dusted himself off and looked down at Genya for a minute before looking back up at Inosuke. "Personally I think you could do better. Someone flashier would be a much better option!" As Genya got his breath back he looked up at Tengen and glared. "The hell...do you mean by that?" The crimson eyed alpha rolled his eye at the other alpha. "The fact you have to ask is exactly my point." Despite the fact that Tengen already seemed bored of Genya, after a quick sparring match, he helped the younger alpha up regardless.

As they walked over to the group, Kyojuro was still apologizing to Inosuke and Tanjiro. Zenitsu gave Genya a sympathetic look that almost said 'I've been there'. The black haired alpha sighed, sat down next to Inosuke, and just pulled him into a hug. The omega on the other hand had been to busy pouting about not being able to spar to care. But that wasn't to say that he didn't appreciate Genya's affection or his attention, because the green eyed omega was already rubbing himself against Genya to leave his scent on him. Tengen accepted some water from Giyuu and sat down next to Tanjiro who was now resting next to Zenitsu eating an onigiri.

As to how Inosuke didn't steal all of the onigiri for himself, Genya didn't know. Maybe he was trying to be more careful about the food he ate now because of the pup? Genya didn't know what type of ongiri it was so he couldn't blame Inosuke for being a little cautious, but he was pretty sure it would be okay for Inosuke to have one or two. Though Genya tried to keep himself from thinking about it, the last words his brother said about the water hashira kept coming back to him. What did the white haired omega even mean when he said that Giyuu knew more about the mental effects of ending a pregnancy? Did the blue eyed omega go through something like that?

Genya knew it wasn't his place to ask, nor was it something he really needed to bring up anymore since Inosuke was keeping the pup, but he couldn't help his curiosity. He wasn't going to outwardly ask Giyuu out of the blue though, it was likely a sorespot for the water hashira anyways. Giyuu let out a sigh before he pulled the blonde hashira into his arms and quited him by offering him an onigiri. The red eyed alpha eagerly took the food from his mate and took a bite. "Umai!" Giyuu smiled and kissed Kyojuro on the head before taking an onigiri for himself. Now that Genya thought about it, the more he spent time with Inosuke, the bigger the omega's pack seemed to be.

There were so many people the omega surrounded himself with, and Genya couldn't help but feel a little out of place. Everyone in Inosuke's pack seemed so close, Genya couldn't help but feel like a stranger. He frowned for a minute, but was quickly dragged out of that train of thought by Tengen offering him an onigiri and some water. The black haired smiled, thanked the other alpha, shared the water with Inosuke, and offered him a bit of rice from the onigiri. Inosuke eagerly accepted the bit of rice and happily wolfed it down. Genya felt sorry for Inosuke until Kanao walked out with a tray of food for Inosuke.

Genya waved at the beta and nodded a thanks to her as she handed the tray to the omega. The quiet girl smiled kindly at Genya and Inosuke before she headed back inside to spend time with Nezuko. Inosuke immediately started eating like the wild animal he was, the black haired alpha couldn't help but laugh a small bit at the sight. Genya loved seeing Inosuke happy, he wished only the best for the green eyed omega in front of him. After the pack was rested Tengen dragged Zenitsu away from Tanjiro and onto the training field. The blonde alpha as kicking and screaming as usual while the burgundy haired omega yelled words of encouragement to him.

Normally Genya would have found it amusing, but after training with the sound hashira the black haired alpha only felt sympathetic towards Zenitsu's plight. Inosuke on the other hand was now arranging a small temporary nest for himself using nothing but Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Giyuu's haoris as well as Rengoku's cape. All of which the omega gathered from the end of the engawa where they had been neatly folded up. Genya took his own yukata off and offered it to the nesting omega, who of course eagerly accepted it. Inosuke curled up in his makeshift nest, but seemed a bit uncomfortable since the nest wasn't big enough for his liking.

The omega huffed and closed his eyes in an attempt to fall asleep. While Tanjiro was talking with his mentor Kyojuro, the blue eyed water hashira quietly sipped his tea. Genya watched him for a bit, still thinking about Sanemi's words, before he turned his attention to Zenitsu and Tengen's sparring match. The brown eyed alpha was pretty much fighting for his life just trying to keep distance from Tengen's attacks, using his smaller size as an advantage to avoid most of the blows. Still any hit that did land on the blond alpha seemed to stagger him and cause him to loose momentum. Tengen was quick as usual, easily dodging the blonde's attacks but seemed somewhat proud of his tsuguko whenever he landed a hit.

Unfortunately for Zenitsu, none of his attacks seemed to phase the sound hashira. But then again they weren't trying to kill each other and neither of them had their actual weapons. Despite that fact Zenitsu still looked absolutely terrified, his mate's occasional cheers for him were probably the only thing keeping him from fainting. As Genya watched them spar, he finally took a bite of the onigiri he had been offered a few minutes ago, and realized that Inosuke had been avoiding them because they had pickled plum and salted cod as filling. He looked over at the resting omega and couldn't help but feel softer towards him. Not even two full months in and he's already prioritizing our pup..

Genya smiled at Inosuke and planted a kiss on his head, the green eyed omega groaned in annoyance and swatted him away. The black haired alpha laughed a small bit before he pulled away. 7 weeks..so its gonna be 2 months in just a week... The black haired alpha quietly allowed himself to do the math in his head, but it didn't seem as scary as before. Genya had to stop himself from thinking too much about the omega's pregnancy once his mind started to wander to less than innocent ideas of the omega. The violet eyed alpha laid down on the engawa and just stared into the blue sky, a warm breeze flowed throw his hair as he closed his eyes.

Is this the kind of peace Sanemi wanted for me? A life with Inosuke and the pup? It doesn't sound as terrifying as before..maybe I can do this. The black haired alpha felt himself begin to drift off to sleep, but was soon pulled back to full consciousness by Zenitsu's screaming. "GET BACK HERE DAMNIT!!!" "WHAT?!?! NO WAY!!!!!" Genya sat up and watched Tengen chase after Zenitsu as the blonde alpha ran across the field. "HIDE ME!!!!" The brown eyed alpha dove behind his mate and held onto Tanjiro's arm, shaking in fear, and staring at Tengen as if he were a demon. "Get the hell back here!! Did I say we were done sparring?! Inosuke's out so you gotta pick up the slack!!"

"WHAT?!?!? WHY ME!?!? GO BACK TO TRAINING WITH GENY-" "WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP?!?! INOSUKE'S TRYING TO SLEEP!!!" Genya shouted and threw his shoe at the two arguing alphas. Tanjiro looked absolutely exhausted trying to keep Tengen from tearing his mate apart, Genya couldn't help but feel bad for him. It's almost as if he has a thing for pathetic alphas. Such a strange boy. Genya huffed and looked back at Inosuke, who was now wide awake and glaring at them. Giyuu and Kyojuro looked at each other and nodded, seemingly having the same thought. The red eyed alpha sat up from his mates arms and looked over at Tengen.

"I'll spar with you for a bit, then Giyuu will as well!" The white haired alpha sighed and gave up on trying to drag Zenitsu back into the training field. The burgundy haired omega looked incredibly relieved after the sound hashira walked away with the flame hashira. Tanjiro gently patted Zenitsu on the head and gave him a comforting nuzzle. The blonde alpha sobbed and buried his face in the omega's uniform sleeve as his mate comforted him. Since Genya hadn't been paying attention he wasn't sure as to what made Zenitsu react that way, but he was just glad it was over.

If Zenitsu's scent didn't give it away most people would assume that he was an omega or a beta. Instead the blonde slayer was a rare type of alpha known as a prime alpha, as to how Zenitsu was a prime alpha? Well it was simply a stoke of luck with genetics. The only other prime alpha that the violet eyed slayer knew was Gyomei and seemingly Tengen based on his scent. All Genya knew about those alphas was that their ruts were worse than that of a normal alpha and that they could use something called a 'pack command' that could even effect other alphas. The black haired alpha had never seen Tengen or Zenitsu use their commands, but he had seen Gyomei.

It was when Genya had gone out of control after eating a demon for the first time. Gyomei had used his pack command on Genya to calm him down until he could turn back. Now that the black haired alpha thought about it, he was glad he's never seen Zenitsu or Tengen use their 'pack command' ability. Especially since that meant that Tanjiro was with the thunder breathing alpha on his own volition. Genya couldn't see what the burgundy haired omega saw in him, but he was just glad his friend married someone who loved him. The black haired alpha sighed, he knew he couldn't judge Tanjiro so much for who he loved considering who he himself fell in love with.

Speaking of who he fell in love with, Inosuke grumpily dropped himself off into Genya's lap and pulled the remains of his nest over him. The green eyed omega let out a small huff before looking up at the violet eyed alpha and closing his eyes. Genya smiled and gently ran his fingers through Inosuke's hair, as strange as the green eyed omega was, Genya would never regret falling for him. Inosuke moved around a bit to get comfortable before finally falling back asleep. The black haired alpha's heart warmed at the sight of him. Maybe this is the life I'm supposed to have. I don't know if I deserve Ino, but I'll do whatever it takes to make him and our child happy.

Chapter Text

By the time Inosuke's pack decided they had enough of sparring for the day, the sun was setting, and the air was starting to cool. Inosuke woke up from his nap with a yawn, he looked around and soon realized that Genya had carried him inside while he was still sleeping. He noticed Genya helping Zenitsu wrap an injury on his wrist from across the room. He looked up and realized that his head had been resting on Tanjiro's leg the whole time, the other omega was too busy reading to notice that Inosuke had woken up. Inosuke sat up and rubbed his eyes, Tanjiro looked over at the green eyed omega and smiled at him.

"Oh, Inosuke, you're awake. How are you feeling?" "M tired." Tanjiro gently patted Inosuke on the head, the whole interaction just made Inosuke feel like a pup. The green eyed omega swatted the other omega's hand away and huffed at him. Tanjiro laughed a little before he put his book away and got up to go check on his mate. Zenitsu immediately pulled his husband into a hug with his free arm and yelped when Genya accidentally moved his wrist wrong. "Shit, sorry, man." "Be careful!! ..I think it's broken..Tanjiro do you think it's broken????" The red eyed omega nuzzled his mate and sighed.

"Zenny, it'll be fine, it's most likely just sprained. I already sent a crow to get Shinobu so she can make sure you're alright." Zenitsu just buried his face in his mate's neck and quietly sobbed in pain. Inosuke almost felt bad for the blonde alpha. Wait, why was he feeling bad for Zenitsu? Was it his hormones making him more sensitive? Inosuke shook his head, got up, and wandered off he didn't want to listen to the brown eyed alpha whining. The green eyed omega soon made his way to the kitchen, he felt hungry, but he wasn't sure what he wanted. Sonami said I had to be careful about what I eat, I know I can't eat fish...damn..

While rummaging through the cabinets, drawers, and pantry trying to find something to eat, Inosuke sensed someone walking in. The green eyed omega immediately popped his head up to see who it was, only to hit the back of his head on the cabinet. Inosuke rubbed his head and looked at who walk walked in. "Are you alright?" The blue eyed omega gave him a concerned look as he stood in the doorway. "Yeah, I'm fine don't worry. I was just looking for food." Giyuu let out a small sigh. "Can't you wait until dinner?-" "I'm hungry right now though!!" The blue eyed omega sighed and pinched his nose bridge. "I guess I'll be cooking earlier than usual then,"

Inosuke beamed at the other omega as Giyuu tied back the sleeves of his yukata. The green eyed omega left, came back with a stool a minute later, and sat down so he could watch the water hashira cook. The blue eyed omega quietly picked out the things he would need to prepare dinner and the ingredients for the chosen meals. Inosuke swung his feet around and propped his head up with his hands. Giyuu didn't seem to be bothered by the other omega's presence, in fact he seemed to like having the company. Though Inosuke wasn't as close with the blue eyed omega as Tanjiro was, the two did share a close bond with each other.

Both Tanjiro and Giyuu acted like moms and big brothers, so Inosuke always felt safe around them. That got him thinking, he thought back to what the wind hashira had told him before he decided on keeping the pup. Didn't Sonaki say something about Giyoku knowing more about ending a pregnancy? Does that mean he was a mom at some point? He tilted his head a bit and looked over at the blue eyed omega who was focused on preparing dinner for the pack. "Hey, Ginyo-" "Giyuu" "That's what I said." Inosuke huffed at him. The older omega simply sighed in response to the green eyed omega. "What is it?"

"Have you ever had pups before?" Giyuu went quiet and stopped what he was doing, but he didn't look back at Inosuke. The green eyed omega immediately knew he messed up and was about to apologize before the other spoke again. " a few years ago, I was going to..but I couldn't keep my first pup..it would have been too dangerous for the little one...let's just say that sometimes you can 'fall in love with the wrong person.' ..the second, well...same reason, but I didn't have a choice that time." Inosuke stayed quiet for a bit before he asked another question. "..did you want the pups..?"

"I did, but it wouldn't have been safe to raise them with the alpha I was with at the time." The green eyed omega's expression had softened and so did his voice with his next words. "..And now?" Giyuu went back to cooking before he spoke again. "And now, if I'm lucky enough to still be able to have pups, it would be safe to try to be a mother again. Kyojuro's a good man." Inosuke thought for a little bit before asking another question. "Does he know?" Giyuu nodded and had a small smile. "He's the one who saved me from that man." A few years ago the water hashira wouldn't have been able to say a word about his past without tears, but thanks to his husband's support he was healing.

The younger omega hopped off the stool he was sitting on and walked over to the older omega to hug him. The blue eyed hashira smiled gently at him and gently ruffled Inosuke's hair. The smaller omega frowned for a moment and thought back on Genya's words about him being scared of becoming his father. "...do you think I might have fallen in love with the wrong alpha..?" Inosuke hopped and prayed that he was wrong for doubting the violet eyed alpha, but Giyuu knew more than he did about the topic. "No, I don't think so. From what I've seen so far I think he'll be a good partner for you. And even if he wasn't he'd have more than just your pack to worry about."

The blue eyed omega looked back at the younger omega. "Pregnant or not Shinazugawa would beat his ass if that boy ever hurt his mate." "I'm not his mate though.." Giyuu gently nodded his head. "And that's alright. You don't need to be claimed to love someone and to have them love you." Inosuke thought about the other omega's words for a bit, did the black haired alpha feel the same way about him? He really hoped that he did, they did have a baby on the way after all. As much as the green eyed omega wanted to tell the alpha how he felt and how much he just wanted to proclaim the alpha as his, a part of Inosuke was scared of scaring the alpha off.

He didn't think he'd be able to be a good mother to his child on his own, so he desperately wanted Genya there to support him and help him. Inosuke left Giyuu's side and wandered off to go find the black haired alpha, he wanted to talk to him. No, he needed to talk to him and he needed to talk to him right now. The green eyed omega immediately made his way back to the last room he saw the violet eyed alpha as fast as he could. As soon as Inosuke saw him he walked over to Genya, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him out of the room. "Whoa, hey, Inosuke! Is everything okay???" "I need to talk to you." Genya felt his anxiety start to peak.

What does he mean by that??? Is he mad at me?? Did I do something wrong?? The black haired alpha did his best to keep up with Inosuke. He could hear Tanjiro and Zenitsu questioning what happened, but he was more worried about the omega in front of him. The green eyed omega dragged him into his room and closed the door behind him. "Sit." Before Genya could say a word Inosuke made him sit down on the futon. The black haired alpha looked up at the omega standing in front of him, still feeling nervous. "Ino, did I do something wro-" "I need you to tell me how you feel about me."

Genya paused, he felt his anxiety dissappear, he let out a sigh, and pulled Inosuke into his arms. "That's what all this is about?" The taller demon slayer layed his head on the omega's shoulder in relief. Inosuke squirmed around in his arms and growled at him. "I'm being serious!!!" "I know, I know, just give me a minute." The smaller boy pouted at the fact he had to wait, but allowed Genya to find his words. Do I tell him that I love him?? Is he ready to hear that??? Is it too soon for that? We're having a baby together, but are we even dating??? Or should I tell him what I think he wants to hear?? The violet eyed alpha racked his brain trying to figure out what to do.

Inosuke tried to ignore the part of him that was starting to worry, but his thoughts kept repeating over and over again. Why is he taking so long?? Genya took a deep breath in and collected his thoughts. I'll just tone it down a bit so he doesn't freak out..I don't wanna scare him... "Inosuke, I think you're-" "I meant if you liked me or not!!" "I-I do! I like you!" The green eyed omega furrowed his brow and looked that alpha in the eyes. "As a friend?-" "yes! I mean no, well, I like being your friend! But-" "but what?!" Genya covered the omega's mouth. "Ino, if you want my answer then let me speak." Inosuke relaxed his expression and eased back on the alpha.

"I liked being with you, I really do. And I want to be there for you and the pup. I want to be with you, not just as a friend. I want to be your mate-" Inosuke immediately backed away at the his last sentence. "Not right now! W-when you're ready!! I'll let you claim me first, but that's if you want to be mates." The omega relaxed once again after the alpha confirmed he wouldn't be claimed right away. Inosuke wrapped his arms around Genya's neck and kissed him, the black haired alpha pressed back into the kiss and hugged the omega's waist gently. After a few minutes the two pulled apart and the green eyed omega rubbed his scent gland against Genya's.

"You're mine then." Inosuke firmly stated as he rubbed his scent on the alpha, Genya smiled at him and gently kissed him on his cheek. "Alright, I'm yours. All yours." The two stayed with their arms wrapped around each other for a while, until they heard a knock on the door. The door slid open and Tanjiro appeared in the doorway. "Dinner's ready, do you want to eat with us or should I bring you two a tray for you two to eat in here?" Inosuke thought for a moment and looked at Genya to see what he wanted. "We'll join in a bit." The black haired alpha said kindly, the burgundy haired omega nodded and closed the door as he left.

Inosuke curled up in Genya's arms and breathed in his scent. The smell of hyacinth, perilla, and vetiver greeted him and made him feel calmer. The green eyed omega had become well accustomed with Genya's scent and always felt safe with the alpha's scent on him. He guessed it was just instinct since he was having the alpha's baby, but a small part of him liked it. Inosuke guessed that small part of him was his omega side, he still refused to rely on an alpha for safety. Genya didn't mind one bit though, he liked that Inosuke was still independent and he loved how the green eyed omega always went for what he wanted.

The black haired alpha was always the type to speak his mind regardless of how it came across, and Inosuke had absolutely no filter. "So, how do you feel about me then?" "I already said it! You're mine!! Got that? And I ain't sharing!!" The alpha laughed and kissed the omega gently. "Well in that case, neither am I." Genya kissed him once more. "So, we dating now? Or are you planning on claiming me soon?" Genya carefully asked. The black haired omega thought for a moment and just kneaded the fabric of Genya's uniform sleeves for a bit with his hands. "What's dating?" "It's what usually comes before getting engaged, married, or becoming mates."

Inosuke tilted his head a bit, he didn't really understand the difference between being married and being mates. "If we're dating what do I call you then?" "Since I'm a guy, I'd be your boyfriend." The black haired alpha had to keep his composure, he couldn't help but find the omega's questions adorable. He really is a wild omega. A feral boy from the mountains. "Alright then. You will be my boyfriend! Hm, you can't be my number one minion though, that'd be Tanjiro! Hmm, but you can be my right hand man!!" The blacked haired alpha smiled and just nuzzled him. "An honor it is to be." He joked, but Inosuke seemed proud of himself and Genya couldn't ruin that for him.

The two made their way to the dining room together, they held each other's hands tightly. It made them both blush, even though they had held hands many times before this time just felt different. It felt like something special now, and Inosuke was going to show off his new boyfriend! Whether Genya's shyness liked it or not. Considering the fact that the alpha was way redder than the omega, he was going to be quiet for most of dinner. Inosuke lead the alpha into the dinning room and sat down with him next to Tanjiro and Zenitsu. The burgundy haired omega smiled at Inosuke and handed him a tray of food that had been specifically made for him.

The green eyed omega took the plate from the other omega and looked at the food he was given. He was served most of the same things he'd been restriced to eating brown rice, beef yakitori, nattō, and some sweet potatoes, and for his drink he was given green tea. Inosuke didn't like having to eat most of the same foods every day, but it was what was considered healthy and safe for him. As much as he didn't like eating the same thing every day, it wasn't like he was just going to deny a free meal. Inosuke started to eat his food as if someone was going to try and take it from him. Genya smiled at the small omega as he picked out what foods he wanted from the plates in front of them.

Tengen feeling like a protective father, glared at the violet eyed alpha for a bit until Tanjiro shot him a look. Not wanting to piss off a lead omega in their territory the white harried alpha immediately backed off. The crimson eyed alpha could interrogate Genya for his intentions with Inosuke on his own time, but definitely not when Tanjiro was there. The red eyed omega quietly went back to eating after Tengen stopped glaring at the black haired alpha, and Genya felt extremely thankful for Tanjiro. He'd have to thank the burgundy haired omega for the help later. Kyojuro as per usual finished every bite he took with his signature. "Umai!"

The flame haired alpha eagerly ate the meal his mate prepared and continued to add to his ever growing stack of bowls and plates. As Genya saw how comfortable the pack was with one another, he no longer felt so out of place. The black haired alpha smiled to himself and continued to eat his meal. Inosuke tried his best to finish his meal, but after he began to feel nauseous he pushed the food away from himself and leaned against Genya to rest. Both Tanjiro and the black haired alpha looked over at Inosuke in concern, but he waved them off and did his best to ease himself back to comfort.

Nausea was definitely going on Inosuke's list of things he didn't like about being pregnant. But his hatred for his pregnancy symptoms couldn't waver his determination to keep his child. Thankfully for the green eyed omega his stomach settled just enough for him to finish the rest of the beef yakitori. Inosuke couldn't stomach the rest of his food so he ended up just sliding his tray over to Kyojuro. The flame haired alpha tilted his head and looked at Tanjiro and Giyuu for feedback. "Inosuke, are you not feeling well?" The burgundy haired omega gently pressed the back of his hand against the green eyed omega's forehead.

The pregnant omega swatted the younger omega's hand away. "I'll be fine..just can't eat all of it..." "Alright then.." Tanjiro pulled his hand away. He knew nausea was a common symptom, but he still worried for Inosuke. "I'll take him back the room to rest," Genya quickly thanked Giyuu for the meal and guided the green eyed omega back to his room. Inosuke didn't want to rely on the alpha for something so simple as walking back to his room, but deep down he was thankful he could lean on him. He didn't like feeling so weak, but it wasn't like he had the choice to just not feel sick.

The green eyed omega absolutely dreaded morning sickness and hated that it struck at the most inconvenient times. Genya stayed close to Inosuke in case the omega started feeling shaky as they made their way back. "Sorry-" "Don't apologize. It's not your fault Ino, it's just a normal part of being pregnant." The black haired alpha calmly reassured the green eyed omega, Inosuke stayed quiet and just leaned against Genya. As soon as they got back to Inosuke's room the pregnant omega immediately went straight to his nest and curled up in it. The black haired alpha laid down next to his boyfriend and released a comforting scent to help him sleep.

A week had past since Inosuke and Genya had started dating and the black haired alpha had found himself spending more and more time at the water estate. However, due to Inosuke's symptoms worsening the green eyed omega spent most of the time in his nest sleeping. Shinobu had visited the green eyed omega often to make sure he was still doing okay. This time, however, Inosuke had been feeling well enough to make the trip to butterfly estate himself. Genya stood off to the side as Shinobu checked over the green eyed omega and took notes of his symptoms.

Inosuke didn't put up a fight with any of the female alpha's requests which surprised Genya. Shinobu tested the green eyed omega's blood pressure and checked off some things on a sheet of paper. "Everything looks good. I'm not seeing anything alarming in any of your blood tests or with your blood pressure. How has your appetite and sleep been?" The pregnant omega thought for a bit then gave the purple eyed alpha his response. "I'm still eating alright, but sometimes I feel like I'm about to puke. And I'm still able to sleep no problem!" Inosuke felt proud of himself for still being able to sleep like a log.

Shinobu looked back at Genya for confirmation of the omega's words. The violet eyed alpha nodded in agreement with Inosuke's words. The insect hashira turned back to the omega and removed the blood pressure cuff from his arm. Inosuke rubbed the spot where the cuff was after it was removed from his arm then looked back at Shinobu when she spoke. "Genya, since you're the father of his pup, do you have any concerns about any issues that could potentially be passed down?" The female alpha looked over to the omega's boyfriend and waited for his answer. "Hm, I don't have any genetic problems that I know of, but I am concerned about the possibility of the pup having marechi blood like Sanemi."

"Well seeing as marechi blood is quite rare and even Sanemi's children don't have it, I'd say that it may be recessive. You see it's like this, you get two genes from your parents, one from your father and the other from your mother." She put up one finger on each hand and put them together. "Your child would need two of those recessive genes to inherit marechi blood. Sanemi's blood is special though, it's much stronger than normal marechi blood." Genya didn't really understand it, but his concerns were somewhat eased. "Now, how common are tall large babies in your family? If it's quite common then we may need to keep an eye on Inosuke's pregnancy."

Inosuke huffed and puffed out his chest. "Even if it's a big pup I'll have it no problem!-" "If it's a large pup then it's going to be more painful for you to give birth. Especially since you're a male omega. Males have narrower pelvises." Inosuke quieted down after that and didn't dare argue with her again. "As far as I know it's not common in my family. I don't think any of my siblings were that big when they were born. My mother was a small woman too." Shinobu nodded and wrote it down before putting the papers away into a folder. "Alright then, that should be everything for this appointment then. Do you have any more questions?"

"Can we still fuck?-" "INOSUKE!!" Genya was absolutely bright red after hearing his boyfriend's question. And much to the male alpha's horror Shinobu started laughing and she even nodded. After the female alpha stopped laughing she cleared her throat and spoke again. "Intercourse during pregnancy is still safe, but just be careful not to be too rough. And you should avoid it once Inosuke's closer to giving birth. You should also avoid it once Genya's rut comes along-" "OKAY! WE GET IT!!" The taller alpha shouted and covered his face in embarrassment.

Shinobu laughed once more and excused herself from the room. Inosuke hopped off the chair he was sitting in and walked over to Genya. The  black haired alpha glared at his boyfriend as the omega uncovered his face. The pregnant omega smirked and kissed his boyfriend before he took him by the hand and dragged him out of the room. Genya absentmindedly followed the omega and hid his face again with his free hand. The fact that Inosuke was able to ask such a question with a straight face and without blush both impressions and horrified the alpha. He truly has no filter.

When Genya removed his hand from his face he realized that they weren't heading to either the stone estate or the water estate. "Wait? Where are we going?" "To the wind estate." "Why?-" "to fuck-" "INOSUKE!" The violet eyed alpha was beet red as he stared at the omega in shock. "What? You wanna fuck where we can be interrupted instead?-" "No!" The alpha groaned and pinched his nose bridge. "Fine, we'll go. But just try to filter yourself a little." Inosuke huffed and just lead Genya to the wind estate. "Hmph, you don't gotta be such a prude." "Well excuse me, I'm still reeling from you asking Shinobu if we could still fuck!"

"Well one of us had to ask! I know you've been wanting to dick me down for a while anyways! Especially from the way you stare at my ass!" The alpha looked away, he didn't want to admit that Inosuke was right. Genya picked up the green eyed omega and started to walk faster towards the wind estate. The black haired omega was about to complain, but didn't after he saw the look in Genya's eyes. By the time the reached and entered the wind estate neither of them could keep their hands off the other. The black haired alpha pressed his lips against Inosuke's as he carried him into his room.

The pregnant omega let out a small moan as his boyfriend placed him on the bed. Genya crawled over his partner and kissed him once more as he began to undress him. Since the omega never wore any top it was easy for Genya to get him naked. Inosuke blushed as he watched the alpha on top of him undress as well. He couldn't wait to have his boyfriend inside of him again. Genya spread his boyfriend's legs and leaned down to kiss him as he rubbed the tip of his cock against the omega's cunt.

Inosuke gasped and moaned into the kiss as the alpha's dick rubbed against him. The black haired alpha deepened the kiss as he pushed his cock into the omega's tight vagina. Their kiss broke as the two both grit their teeth at both the tightness and the stretching the intrusion caused. "Ffuck..s-shit tha's tight" Genya hissed through his teeth and Inosuke whimpered as he felt the alpha's cock fill him. "Mngh~ 's a l-lot..g-gimme a minute.." the green eyed omega whined and gripped the bedsheets underneath him. The black haired alpha stopped his movements and waited for Inosuke to adjust to him.

"Haahh, tighter th-an usual.." Genya muttered as he buried his face in the omega's shoulder. The black haired omega nodded in agreement and waited a few more minutes. "O-okay, a little m-more now" Inosuke braced himself for the bigger stretch the rest of the alpha's cock would cause. Genya kissed him on the cheek and nuzzled him before he began to push in little by little once more. After what felt like forever for the two the alpha finally bottomed out inside of his boyfriend. Inosuke whined in pain a bit and seemed uncomfortable which concern the violet eyed slayer. "Ino? What's wrong? Does something hurt?"

"My chest feels sore laying on my back.." Genya thought for a second before he carefully moved the two of them onto their side. Inosuke moaned and nuzzled his boyfriend affectionately. "Mmn, 's better." Inosuke brought the alpha into a kiss as Genya started to slowly roll his hips into the omega's. The hyacinth alpha groaned into the kiss and held his boyfriend close as he made slow, deep, and passionate thrusts into him. The rosemary omega moaned and wrapped his arms around Genya's neck as he squeezed the alpha's cock inside him. Both the tightness and the warmth of the omega's soft pussy made the alpha want him more and more.

Inosuke felt more sensitive than usual which he guessed was due to his pregnancy changing things about his body. But not only did he feel more sensitive, he also felt more pressure inside him and it made the alpha's dick feel bigger than before. The green eyed omega moaned loudly and whimpered as he felt his boyfriend's cock slide against his g-spot over and over again. The violet eyed alpha carefully sped up his thrusts, but did his best not to be too rough with Inosuke in fear of harming him or their unborn pup. Inosuke was practically salivating at each movement his boyfriend made, he wrapped his leg around Genya's waist and kissed him again.

Genya deepened their kiss for a moment before pulling away to speak. "Mngh, I-Ino, y-you're so pretty~" Inosuke blushed at the alpha's words, he opened his mouth to speak but instead of words all that came out was a desperate moan. The black haired alpha moaned a bit as he held his boyfriend closer to himself. "Hahh, ngh, I got you, f-fuck...Inosuke~" The violet eyed alpha knew he wouldn't last much longer with how much the omega was squeezing his cock. Every bit of the alpha's body wanted nothing more than to just knot the omega and fill him up, it didn't take much for Genya to know Inosuke wanted the same.

The smaller omega cried out as his orgasm took him by surprise. Normally the two would have been able to last longer, but Inosuke's changing body and scent made things a little harder to keep up stamina. Genya peppered his partner's face with kisses as he thrusted just a bit harder into him. The alpha's thrusts became more sluggish and sloppy which told Inosuke he was close. "F-fuck...G-Genya!~" Inosuke moaned louder as he felt his boyfriend's knot tugging which each of the alpha's thrusts. "Mnghh, ohhh fuuck...'m close..Ino~" "haaahh, Gen~" They held each other close as Genya's knot slowly pushed inside and tied them together.

The black haired alpha growled as he came inside of his boyfriend. The two were a panting mess as they waited for Genya's orgasm to pass. The violet eyed alpha's breath hitched as he filled his lover with his semen. The two lazily kissed as they came down from their high and affectionately held onto one another. Genya nuzzled Inosuke and gently massaged the pregnant omega's sore body. "You good? Any pain anywhere?" The black haired alpha panted as he checked over the omega's body for any bruises. Inosuke shook his head and swatted his boyfriend's hands away. "I'm fine! You didn' hurt me or anything."

"Alright then, let me know if anything hurts." Genya kissed the omega on the nose and held him close. "Alright, alright, I will. Just stop fussing so much" Inosuke nuzzled his boyfriend and curled up in his arms. The two exchanged affectionate looks with one another before sharing one more kiss. After about 20 minutes Genya pulled out of the omega and gently rubbed his sore hips. They scented each other for quite some time before the alpha and omega adjusted their blankets to sleep. Once their nest was rearranged to their liking they cuddled together until they fell asleep. They'd take care of each other once they woke up, but for now they'd sleep peacefully in each other's embrace.

Chapter Text

Inosuke had been staying at the stone estate for about six days now since he wasn't able to stay at the water estate due to Zenitsu's rut. The green eyed omega honestly felt sorry for Tanjiro because every time he saw him after one of Zenitsu's ruts he was a complete mess. The red eyed omega even had Kanao pick him and Nezuko up so he didn't get the scent of a pregnant omega or the scent of an alpha on him. Normally Inosuke would be staying with Nezuko at the flame estate or the butterfly estate until the prime alpha's rut was over, but this time he was staying with Genya's pack. The two alphas left on a mission four days prior so it was just him, Sanemi, and the pups at the stone estate.

Inosuke had been following Sanemi around for the past few days, and the white haired omega didn't seem to mind too much though. The green eyed omega often watched how the older omega took care of his pups and took mental notes about what he saw. The albino omega always made sure to tell Inosuke what he should be avoiding and what he needed to look out for with newborns. Right now Sanemi was making the smaller omega help him fold laundry since he insisted on following him around. Since no one else was there to help there was no getting out of it for Inosuke.

"Oi! Pay attention. You're folding that wrong." Sanemi took the kimono Inosuke was folding from him and unfurled it to redo the other omega's work. "Watch closely this time." The white haired omega made sure that the younger slayer was watching before he started to fold the kimono. The lavender eyed omega then handed Inosuke another kimono to fold. "Alright, try it again." The green eyed omega huffed and laid it out in front of him to fold it. Inosuke took his time folding the piece and made sure to follow Sanemi's instructions so he didn't have to redo it again. Thankfully the white haired omega accepted his work and handed him a blanket to fold.

Inosuke didn't like doing meaningless housework like this, but he did promise Genya he'd listen to Sanemi and behave. "Why do we even need to fold this stuff?? It's all just gonna get messed up anyways!-" The older omega flicked him on the nose and gave him an annoyed look. "Because it's easier to put things away if they're folded. If you can't do basic housework then you're definitely not ready to be a mother." Inosuke growled at Sanemi and glared at him as he snatched up more clothing and blankets. "I'll be way better at housework than you!! Just watch!" The green eyed omega furiously started folding the laundry he took.

The lavender eyed hashira rolled his eyes and started to put the folded up laundry into a basket. That's one way to motivate him I guess. It only took two hours for the two to get the laundry folded and put away properly thanks to Inosuke's determination to get it done faster than Sanemi. The white haired omega couldn't care less about the green eyed omega's antics or his competitive nature, but he was at least trying to get along with him. It was his brother's omega after all so he might as well play nice. Sanemi made his way to his sons' room to wake them up for lunch, Inosuke followed him closely and noticed that the white haired omega had started waddling slightly.

Why is he walking like that? Is he hurt? Or is it because he's knocked up too? Inosuke felt curious about the other omega, but he didn't know if he should ask or not. He's only really known Sanemi for a few weeks now so maybe it was still too early to ask anything. But then again the older omega did say he would help Inosuke with any questions he had about being a mother. "Why are you walking like that?" The white haired omega rolled his eyes then sighed before answering him. "It's what happens when you're closer to having your baby. It's because it's getting bigger. I'm 6½ months through so I just got around 12 weeks left."

Inosuke felt a bit jealous of Sanemi since he only had to wait another 12 weeks to meet his new pup, while he had to wait around five to six months. As Sanemi entered his sons' room he could see that both pups were already awake and waiting for him to pick them up. The white haired omega smiled at his sons and waddled over to them. "Oi, don't just stand there. You're gonna help too." The smaller omega hesitantly walked over to the crib. "Alright, you're going to learn how to pick them up. You'll need to know this once your pup is their age and size." Sanemi carefully picked up Shinya by placing his hands under his sons arms and holding him close to his chest.

Inosuke watched the white haired omega's movements carefully, and did the same for Tsubasa. The white haired pup was much heavier than the black haired omega was expecting, but it wasn't like he couldn't handle it. Everything seemed fine until he looked over to Sanemi and saw the look on his face, the lavender eyed slayer's glare said 'if you drop my son I'll kill you.' Inosuke wasn't about to take any chances so he made sure to be extremely careful with Tsubasa. The lavender eyed pup sniffed Inosuke a bit out of curiosity for his scent, but then nuzzled him when he picked up on Genya's scent.

The black haired omega smiled at the toddler and followed Sanemi to the kitchen. Shinya curiously eyed Inosuke and his brother, though him and Tsubasa now knew Inosuke it still took them a few minutes to recognize his scent. When they entered the kitchen the white haired omega immediately set Shinya down in the high-chair. Inosuke waited for him to be done with Shinya before he handed Tsubasa over to his mother. Just as Sanemi got both of the pups into their high chair a crow landed on the windowsill. The white haired omega recognized it and left the room leaving Inosuke with the twins.

The green eyed omega was curious as to what was going on, but didn't feel alarmed since the white haired omega seemed calm. A few minutes later the lavender eyed omega returned to the kitchen with a black haired beta that Inosuke didn't recognize. The sight of the heterochromatic beta did make the green eyed omega feel alert though since he was accompanied by a snake. Inosuke always had bad experiences with snakes back on his mountain, so he wasn't ready to let his guard down or risk his unborn pup's safety. He stood in front of Shinya and Tsubasa growling at the beta and his snake.

"Inosuke, this is Obanai. You can stop growling at him now." Obanai looked at the smaller omega suspiciously, but didn't say a word to him. The black haired beta looked over to Sanemi and pointed at the green eyed omega. "Just who exactly is he?" "Remember when I said Genya had a boyfriend? Well this is him." Inosuke didn't stop glaring at Obanai, but more specifically his snake. The white haired omega looked back at him and tilted his head. "What's wrong now?" "I don't like snakes. I always get sick after they bite me." Sanemi gave him a strange look for a minute before Obanai spoke up. "This is Kaburamaru, he won't bite." Unless I tell him to. The black haired beta left that last part out though, he didn't want Inosuke to keep growling at him and Kaburamaru.

The white snake eyed Inosuke curiously before looking flicking his tongue a bit. Inosuke stopped growling and glaring at them, but he was now curious about why the beta kept the snake around his neck. Sanemi moved past the green eyed omega to get started on lunch. Obanai sat down at the table and watched quietly, Kaburamaru slithered off of the black haired beta and made his way over to Inosuke. The black haired omega backed up a bit, but hesitantly allowed the red eyed snake to get closer to him. "Why do you keep that thing with you? Is it in case you run out of food?"

Obanai immediately snatched up Kaburamaru and held the snake close to his body. "I would never eat Kaburamaru!" He glared at the green eyed omega and looked over at Sanemi. "Shouldn't you be teaching this one manners?" The white haired omega put the bowl of edamame beans he was washing down and looked back at the black haired beta. "Why the hell is it my job to teach him manners? If anything that's Genya's job or his pack leader's job." The pregnant omega huffed at the heterochromatic beta. "Who raised him anyways?" "The boars." Inosuke answered casually as he moved over to play with the pups after becoming bored of Obanai. 

The black haired beta felt grateful that he didn't live with the green eyed omega. Maybe Genya needs his head checked if he thinks this is a suitable partner. "How have things been with the demons?" The white haired omega tried to started a conversation with his friend. The black haired beta pet the white snake on his shoulders for a bit before answering him. "Well ever since you went on maternity leave and Uzui retired the rest of us have been taking on more and more missions." He wasn't annoyed with Sanemi's choice to become a mother or his choice to have another pup, but he was annoyed with Tengen retiring. 

"Who knows, maybe you guys can convince Tengen to come out of retirement once he's used to fighting again. He's still training that blonde kid and Inosuke." "I suppose you're right. But he might make a show of it or try to get out of it somehow." The beta readjusted his bandages and helped Kaburamaru get comfortable again. "You gonna stay and eat or are you going to head off soon?" The black haired beta shook his head. "I'll eat something later when I get home." "At least stay until I'm done cooking, I'll give you a box. And don't try to get out of it I know you haven't eaten in days." Obanai would have argued, but he was right. 

"Alright, I'll stay till then." While the two hashira were talking Inosuke made himself busy playing with the pups. After a little while Sanemi handed Obanai a small bento box full of food. "You can return that the next time you stop by." The black haired beta thanked his friend and left, Sanemi said his goodbyes as he was making sure his sons were eating. The white haired omega then started setting the table as soon as he was sure. Inosuke helped the older omega place the remaining food on the table, his main motivation totally wasn't that he just wanted extra tonkatsu as a treat.

Once the table was set Inosuke immediately started serving himself, he grabbed six slices of tonkatsu, some rice, and two yakitori skewers. Sanemi looked at the black haired omega's plate for a second before he placed a bowl of edamame beans, chopped daikon radish, lettuce next to him. Inosuke pushed it away from himself, but the older omega pushed the bowl back. "If you only eat meat and rice how do you expect to have enough energy and nutrients for your pup?" That was all Inosuke needed to hear, he begrudgingly ate the bowl of vegetables that Sanemi gave him.

Inosuke didn't like vegetables as much as he liked other foods so he rarely ate them. But he might as well listen to the white haired omega or else he could tell Genya that he wasn't eating right. Inosuke hated making his boyfriend worry about him because the black haired alpha would always stress and fuss over him. The two ate in peace for the most part, but Sanemi did occasionally have to defend his plate from the other omega. Tsubasa and Shinya both found it incredibly entertaining watching their mother and Inosuke fight over a single yakitori skewer. Eventually the white haired omega gave up and separated the chicken skewer between himself and Inosuke which seemed to satisfy the younger omega.

"How long did Genya say he'd be gone for again?" The albino omega paused and thought for a bit before giving his answer. "It's a 4 day trip to and from Kyoto, so around 8 days of travel essentially. That doesn't take into account for how long it'll take to track the demon down and slay it though." The green eyed omega felt disappointed and went back to eating. He really wanted to have his boyfriend at his side right now he felt lonely without him. He quietly wondered how his boyfriend was doing and how the rest of his pack was fairing, we'll aside from Tanjiro and Zenitsu for reasons he didn't want to imagine.

After lunch Inosuke helped the older omega take the pups outside so they could enjoy the last warm days of the season. Inosuke leaned against the older omega as the two watched the twins play with each other on the engawa. Sanemi didn't mind it as much as he thought he would though, but he chalked it up to instinct since pregnant omegas tended to feel more comfortable around other mothers. Normally the green eyed omega would be curled up against Tanjiro or Genya, whenever he visited the water estate, but since neither of them were there Sanemi would have to do.

After a while Shinya and Tsubasa got bored of the wooden toys they had been playing with and decided their mother was more interesting. The twins made their way over to the two omegas and curled up by their mother's side as soon as they reached him. Sanemi smiled at his sons then removed his haori to use it as a blanket for his pups. Shinya stayed close to his mom's side as he watched as his brother played with their mother's hand. Sanemi smiled lovingly at his sons and held them close. As Inosuke watched the wind hashira play with his pups he began to wonder to himself, what it'd be like when he finally had his baby in his arms?

The green eyed omega looked up at the sky and allowed himself to daydream about his unborn child. He placed a hand over his belly as he imagined life with his pup and Genya. He wanted his boyfriend by his side so much right now. Normally he wasn't this sappy about Genya, so he guessed it was just his hormones and instincts making him feel so needy. He shivered a small bit after a cool breeze blew over him Inosuke then curled up closer to Sanemi for warmth. The older omega rolled his eyes, but let the younger omega nestle up to him and use his yukata's sleeve to shield himself from the wind.

Genya stayed close to his mentor as they searched for a demon with the flame hashira. The violet eyed alpha kept his gun close and made sure not to let his guard down. But as hard as he tried to focus, the pain in his feet kept distracting him. The black haired did his best to keep himself aware of his surroundings as the three patrolled. Genya did his best to ignore his aching feet as he walked, but just as the young alpha rounded a corner Kyojuro grabbed him by his arm and pulled him back. Before Genya could say anything an explosion went off in front of him.

Gyomei immediately pulled out his axe and flail and prepared himself for battle. Genya spotted the demon perching on the roof of a building, took aim, and fired twice. The demon moved out of the way before the violet eyed alpha's bullets could hit it and launched another explosive attack towards the demon slayers. The two black haired alpha's moved out of the way of the attack as Kyojuro ran off to make his way onto the roof to slay the demon. While the blonde climbed the roof the demon on top of it continued to send attacked down at Gyomei and Genya. Before either of the two slayers on the ground could react a second demon appeared behind them and kicked Genya through a wall.

The violet eyed alpha growled in pain as he tried to get back up. Gyomei charged at the demon and used his stone breathing third form to counter the second demon's next barrage of attacks. The tsuguko managed to pull himself out of the rubble then reloaded and took aim at the demon fighting his mentor. The breathless slayer fired at the demon's arms in order to stop the attacks so his mentor could get closer. The demon howled in pain, but before it could attack Genya again the blind alpha used his axe to slice the demon's head off. The violet eyed slayer made his way out of the building and looked up towards the roof. 

Both Kyojuro and the first demon had disappeared, but the sound of explosions in the distance was all Genya needed to know where they went. The two black haired alpha's took off and followed the sounds towards a long flight of stairs that lead all the way up to a temple. Genya struggled to keep up with Gyomei's speed, sometimes he questioned when the blind alpha bothered bringing him along sometimes, but it was a part of his training even it he couldn't do much to help. Kyojuro dodged the first demon's attacks as he used flame breathing's first form to make himself faster.

The demon let out a loud frustrated yell as it used its blood demon art to send explosions out around it. The flame hashira was able to jump out of the way of the attacks just in time for Gyomei and Genya to show up. The violet eyed alpha had reloaded his gun on the way up the stairs so it was ready to go once he had a good shot on the demon. The demon sent another attack towards the young alpha only for it to be blocked by the blind alpha. Gyomei threw out the chain of his weapon and used it to trap the demon while Genya took aim and fired at the demon's arms.

Kyojuro took the opportunity to use his fifth form to take off the demon's head. Genya let out a sigh of relief, the three regrouped and made their way back down to the village below. The two hashira spoke while the violet eyed tsuguko quietly followed after them. Kyojuro looked back at Genya and gave him an approving nod. "You have a good aim. Keep practicing and maybe one day you'll be able to take demon's out with a single bullet!" The violet eyed alpha smiled at the flame hashira's words of encouragement. "You really think so?" Kyojuro nodded and gave his signature smile, it was no wonder that Tanjiro looked up to him.

Neither Kyojuro nor Gyomei seemed tired at all as they made their way back to the wisteria house. Genya leaned against his mentor as he felt his sleepless start to catch up to him. The blind alpha noticed his tsuguko falling behind and scooped him up. The violet eyed alpha panicked for a second before calming down after realizing it was just Gyomei. As the younger slayer felt his eyes getting heavier, he knew he couldn't stave off sleep any longer. Genya yawned and allowed himself to fall asleep as his mentor carried him, Gyomei smiled at the fact his tsuguko felt safe with him.

Once they reached the wisteria house the prime alpha set his tsuguko down in his room and headed to his own room to sleep. Kyojuro said his goodbyes before returning to his own room for rest. Genya pulled the quilt over him and shivered in his sleep, he was already used to having Inosuke next to him when he slept. The black haired alpha felt some small relief once the quilt was tightly wrapped around him, it still couldn't compare to the warmth he felt when he had his boyfriend next to him. The nights he spent away from Inosuke were the worst, he wanted nothing more than to have his omega with him.

Whether it was instinct or his love for the omega that made him long for him so much, he didn't care he just wanted to be with him. Genya woke up a few hours later when the room lit up with sunlight, it was far to bright for the black haired alpha to continue sleeping. He knew he sat up too fast when his headache got worse and his vision went white for a second. Once he was feeling a bit better he noticed the scent of breakfast being made. He stood up and walked over to the door, before he could open it the door slid open and revealed a small female omega. She was wearing a blue yukata and had a pin in her hair. He somewhat recognized her as another demon slayer, but didn't care to know her name.

"U-um, I was sent to wake you up..to let you know that breakfast will be served soon!" Her voice was quiet and her pale face was painted pink by her blushing. Genya nodded to her and moved past her, he could tell that no one sent her and that she probably just wanted to see him. The black haired alpha had absolutely no interest in her, a few months ago before he met Inosuke he might have been interested, but now Inosuke was the only one for him. I've been away from him for too long. I think his scent is starting to fade.. The violet eyed slayer sighed and made his way down to the wisteria house's dinning room.

Genya immediately sat down next to Gyomei as soon as he saw him, the blind alpha smiled at him and pat him on the head. Kyojuro waved at the violet eyed alpha then went back to his conversation with the blind hashira. "Are you going to be bringing anything back for Shinazugawa? There's no better place to get a beautiful gift then in Kyoto." Kyojuro smiled as he spoke, Gyomei thought for a bit then looked at Genya. "What do you think? Should I get something for Sanemi?" The black haired tsuguko took a moment to think about what his brother might like or accept as a gift. "He'd probably like something practical, like a yukata, kimono, or some more blankets. I'll help you pick something out for him"

The blind alpha nodded and thanked his tsuguko just as the owners of the wisteria house came over with their breakfast. Kyojuro thanked the host and waited for the others to grab what they wanted before he served himself. The blonde alpha picked up a tamagoyaki with his chopsticks and took a bite. "Umai!" Genya didn't understand why the flame hashira did that whenever he ate, but he was too tired to ask. As the black haired alpha ate his breakfast he began to think about what he should bring back for Inosuke. It's getting colder out, maybe I should get him something to keep warm...would he even wear a kimono if I got him one? He doesn't really like wearing anything above his waist other than his mask..

Genya sighed, he wasn't sure what he'd bring back for Inosuke, but he knew he wanted to get him something. After the three of them finished eating they made their way down to the village together. The violet eyed alpha stayed close to his mentor as they walked through the village, it was a smaller part of Kyoto and it wasn't too close to the main city. But it was still beautiful even compared to the more populated parts of Kyoto. As soon as the flame hashira spotted a shop selling kimono and hair pins he immediately made his way over. By the time Genya and Gyomei walked over Kyojuro already had his arms full of different things he wanted to buy for his husband.

"Do you need a hand there?" The violet eyed alpha nervously asked, the red eyed alpha looked back at him and smiled. "No, it's no problem for me at all!" The shop workers seemed to be shocked as well after they laid eyes on how much Kyojuro was carrying. Genya decided that he and Gyomei would have a better chance finding something that their omegas would like than convincing Kyojuro to let them help. The violet eyed alpha looked over at some dark green fabrics and held a small bit of it out for the blind alpha to feel. "Do you think Sanemi would like this?" The blind alpha felt the fabric between his fingers and thought back on the textures his mate preferred.

"It's soft, Sanemi would definitely like it." Genya nodded and called over a shop worker. A young male beta walked over to the two alphas and greeted them. "What can I help you with?" "We're looking to have a kimono made for his husband" The beta looked up at Gyomei and seemed a little intimated. "Ah, yes..well, do either of you know his measurements?" The blind alpha thought for a minute before he answered the beta. Gyomei made sure to mention that Sanemi was pregnant so the obi and kimono would have to be bigger. While his mentor was talking with the store worker, Genya looked over at a ready made kimono that caught his eye.

It was a light blue kimono with a beautiful hanakotoba pattern with golden kasumi patterns woven in behind the flowers. The violet eyed alpha walked over to it and carefully checked the fabric, it was a delicate silk that was soft to the touch which was perfect for Inosuke. It was around the size that Inosuke would be able to wear, even if it was a little big on him it could be adjusted or tailored to him. The card next to it listed the kimono at ¥15,000, Genya mentally thanked the fact that being a demon slayer payed well. Inosuke was worth it though, the violet eyed slayer just hoped the omega would actually give wearing it a chance.

He turned over to the beta who had been writing down Gyomei's order and waited for him to be finished. "Is this one still available? I'd like to buy it for my omega." It felt strange calling the green eyed omega his, but he suspected it would go over easier if people assumed him and Inosuke were already married or mated. Especially given the fact that they already had a baby on the way. The beta looked over at Genya and smiled. "You have a good eye, yes, that one is still available. Would you like to see the kanazashi options?" The black haired slayer looked back at Gyomei for help. The blind alpha have him a nod of approval, and Genya looked back at the beta and nodded.

"Wonderful, I'll be right back." As he walked over to the back of the store he nodded to another worker who then made their way over to the blue kimono and placed a sign next to it listing it as sold. A few minutes later the man walked back over and opened a box full of different hair pins. "Do you see any that you like? If not there are other pins and bows in back." Genya eyed the pins carefully and looked for one that suited Inosuke. He spotted a a blue kanazashi that resembled a baby-blue eye flower with pale green tassels that resembled vines and pointed to it. "This one will do."

The beta smiled and carefully set the box down, removed the pin Genya picked out, and handed it to the assistant that had been called over. "Do you two need help with anything else?" "No, that's everything thank you." There was no need to pick one out for Sanemi since the white haired omega didn't like having any pins in his hair. The beta carefully wrote down what Genya had picked out along with Gyomei's order. "Everything will be ready for you to pick up in a few days, if you're not a resident then please write down an address for delivery."

The tsuguko wrote down the the mailing address for the stone estate, since the estates of the hashira weren't open to outsiders the kakushi handled mail for them. "Now, with everything together that totals around ¥30,000." The two handed over ¥15,000 yen each, Sanemi would definitely be angry if he found out how much they spent on him. The albino omega almost never accepted gifts from his husband since he was used to not having disposable income for himself due to how he grew up. But hopefully he'd let it slide just this once since Inosuke would also be receiving and expensive gift.

If the lavender eyed omega still wasn't happy then poor Kyojuro would have to take the blame for giving them the idea. By the time they returned to the wisteria house to gather their things to return home, the flame hashira still hadn't returned yet. Gyomei was about to go looking for him after the sun started setting, but the blonde alpha returned carrying a few large packages. "...how much did you spend.." Genya hesitantly asked genuinely fearing the alpha's answer. "No amount of money is out of the question when it comes to bringing joy to my husband Giyuu!" "That didn't answer the question..."

"It's no worry since Tengen provided me with funds fo buy gifts! I also got a few things for him and his wives, as well as the other hashira!" The blind alpha sighed and pinched his nose bridge. "I'll help you carry some of it back." Kyojuro smiled and simply laughed. "You're too kind!" The black haired tsuguko remained curious of how much the blonde spent, but he suspected that would never be answered. The water hashira probably wouldn't have any idea what was coming so Genya just said a silent prayer for the blue eyed omega. The violet eyed slayer sighed, he was glad he'd finally be going home to his Inosuke.

Chapter Text

Tanjiro woke up curled up in his husband's arms, the scent of his mate's rut finally having faded. The burgundy haired omega smiled and rested his head on the blonde alpha's chest, their hair a complete mess with claw marks and bites littering their bodies. Tanjiro didn't mind though, he thought his husband looked more attractive that way anyways. Zenitsu placed a hand on the omega's head and ran his fingers through his hair. "Mornin' sunshine...you doin' okay?" The blonde alpha yawned as he looked down at his mate, still tired he rubbed his eyes to wake himself up.

Tanjiro smiled and sat up in bed to kiss his mate, the brown eyed alpha accepted his husband's affection and pulled him closer. "I'll take that as a yes then." The blonde alpha let out a content sigh and sat up with the red eyed omega. Tanjiro nuzzled his mate's hand as Zenitsu brushed his hair out of his face. "How are you feeling, Zenny? Do you still feel any leftover symptoms from your rut?" The prime alpha shook his head and smiled adoringly at his lover. "Nah, never felt better." He pressed his forehead against Tanjiro's and focused on the omega's scent.

But then he heard the burgundy haired omega mutter something under his breath, something he tried to hide. "I'm glad it payed off then." The blonde alpha gently lifted the omega's chin to make him look him in the eyes. Tanjiro blushed and looked away, Zenitsu smirked at that. "What're you trying to hide, Tanjiro?~" The omega mentally hit himself in the back of the head for accidentally saying something out loud. The burgundy haired omega covered his face before finally giving in and telling his husband. "..remember when we were in the entertainment district? Well...I read a few of the courtesan guide books in my free time.."

"You used courtesan tricks on me!?" The blonde alpha was bright red, but he definitely wasn't angry or upset. "Tanjiro, you little minx!" Zenitsu pulled his husband into his lap and kissed him all over his face. The red eyed omega was still bright red and embarrassed after admitting his little secret to his mate. The blonde alpha paused for a bit then laughed a small bit after realizing something. "Wait, Tanjiro, did the 'guide books' have any characters in them?" Tanjiro thought back on the books he read for a few minutes. "Now that you mention it, some of them did." The blonde alpha laughed as he pulled his husband down into a hug. "Oh my sweet little Tanjiro, those were romance books!"

"That explains a lot actually.." The red eyed omega blushed slightly. "H-hey, don't look at me like that! You have to admit you were curious about those books too!" Zenitsu laughed once again as he nuzzled his husband. "Well I'm certainly glad you read them.~" The blonde alpha kissed his omega's neck then trailed his kisses down to the omega's chest. Tanjiro smiled at his husband's affection and leaned down to kiss him on the head. "You won't be able to walk tomorrow, will you?" The burgundy haired omega shook his head, Tanjiro wrapped his arms around Zenitsu's neck. "Nope. But at least I'm cleared from missions for at least three days to recover"

"Which means no sex?" "Sadly yes." The red eyed omega kissed his husband on the nose. "Well at least I'll be able to keep you company." The blonde alpha said as he scented his mate. Zenitsu loved having days where it was just him and Tanjiro together, it meant no interruptions from their quiet peace. The brown eyed slayer scooped his husband up into his arms and carried him into the bathroom to run a bath for him. Tanjiro yelped a little bit after being picked up. "A little warning would be nice, Zenny." "Sorry, sunshine." He set the burgundy haired omega down and started to prepare a bath for the two of them.

Tanjiro brushed out his hair as he watched Zenitsu, he smiled lovingly at the blonde alpha. Though many would question the red eyed omega's choice of mate, he would never, to Tanjiro, Zenitsu was the perfect husband, and he was an amazing friend as well. The prime alpha had indeed come a long way from when Tanjiro first met him, groveling on the ground and begging for someone to marry him. Now Zenitsu only had eyes for his lovely burgundy haired omega. The two became mates shortly after facing lower moon one and married after facing upper moon six, they'd been almost inseparable since then.

Once the bath was filled up and properly heated Zenitsu walked over to his mate and helped him into the bath. The hashira estates all had baths that could be filled by a faucet with proper piping, it took Tanjiro some time to get used to since he was used to the furo his family used when he was growing up. The burgundy haired omega leaned against his husband as they settled down in the water, Zenitsu carefully washed his mate's hair for him while Tanjiro rested his aching muscles. "Tanjiro, can I ask you something?" The red eyed omega looked back at his husband and nodded. "Do..you..wanna start a family some day?"

Tanjiro smiled then simply pressed his back against his husband's chest and nuzzled him. "I'll have as many pups as you're willing to father." The blonde alpha laughed a bit as he rubbed the back of his neck. "You want a big family then." Tanjiro nodded and looked back at his mate. "Only one condition though." "Anything." "I'll only let you start putting babies in me once you stop complaining about going on missions-" "I guess we're never having children then." The two looked at each other for a minute before bursting into laughter. The two went back to enjoying their peaceful time together once they settled down, just enjoying one another's company.

Inosuke and the twins had been sitting outside the stone estate waiting for Genya and Gyomei to return home since they woke up. Sanemi tried to get them to come back inside, but ended up sitting outside with them after bringing some blankets for the three. The green eyed omega's eyes remained focused on the gates waiting for any sign of his boyfriend approaching. Shinya sat curled up in the black haired omega's lap playing with Inosuke's mask while Tsubasa played with their mother's hair. Sanemi was deeply thankful for the thick blankets he brought since the temperature had dropped significantly over the past few days.

The albino omega sighed as he adjusted the blankets so that both his pups were covered before he turned to the other omega. "If they don't show up in the next few minutes I'm taking you three inside. I'm not taking no for an answer." Inosuke didn't care enough to respond to the older omega. It's already been nine days since he left..he should be home by now....what if something happened?? The green eyed omega whined in frustration, he desperately wanted Genya. The smaller omega placed a hand on his stomach absentmindedly as he felt his unborn child moving again. Though he'd only been pregnant for a little over 9 weeks his extremely sensitive body allowed him to feel the tiny movements of his pup.

Though Sanemi hid it well, Inosuke could tell he missed Gyomei and Genya too. The white haired omega would never admit it though, he was far too proud to do so. Inosuke physically had to stop himself from immediately jumping up and running at full speed as soon as he saw Genya and Gyomei coming up the road since Shinya was still in his lap. Sanemi took Shinya into his arms as well as the blanket they had so that Inosuke could go to his boyfriend. The green eyed omega took off as soon as he didn't have to worry about Shinya, the violet eyed alpha wasn't expecting him however.

"Ino!- Oof!" Genya almost fell back when Inosuke practically tackled him, he pulled the omega into his arms, and held him close. The pregnant omega immediately nuzzled Genya and rubbed his scent gland against the alpha's, he missed him and his scent so much. Gyomei smiled at the two before he continued walking, a black haired alpha with a scar on his cheek that Inosuke didn't recognize followed him. The green eyed omega tilted his head and looked at Genya for an answer. "His name's Masachika, he's a good friend of Nemi's. He's like a big brother to him" Inosuke just curled up further in his boyfriend's arms as the alpha picked him up fully and carried him back.

Sanemi only bothered to get up when Tsubasa and Shinya both tried to go greet their father at the gates. "Papa!!" The pups shouted in unison as they ran to the blind hashira. Gyomei smiled as he heard his two boys running to him, he crouched down, and held his arms out for them. Both pups ran into their father's arms, they excitedly laughed and smiled as their dad picked them up. The blind alpha's smiled grew even bigger when he caught the scent of his mate approaching him. The albino omega couldn't help but smile as his husband wrapped his arm around him. When Sanemi noticed Masachika he laughed a small bit.

"Long time no see, Masa." The green eyed alpha smiled at his friend and came a little closer. "Yeah, the last time I saw you Shinya and Tsubasa were just born! Now you and Gyomei are already making a third!" He laughed a small bit as he patted the white haired omega on the head, Sanemi growled at him while swatting his hand away. "I'm not a pup, dammit." "I'll stop treating you like one when you get taller than me." Masachika laughed as he teased the pregnant omega, Sanemi huffed then looked to his mate for backup, but much to his horror Gyomei was also smiling at the alpha's teasing.

"Hmph, idiots. The both of you- No, you don't get to hug me after that!" The albino omega hissed at Masachika as the green eyed alpha moved in to hug him. "What? I don't get to hug my little brother? But it's been so long since I've seen you!" Sanemi grimaced at him for a minute, he hated it when the older slayer teased him. "I'm not your brother, dumbass." "Brother in arms though!" Sanemi pinched his nose bridge, let out a loud sigh, then looked back up at Masachika. "You're not going to stop until I let you hug me, huh?" The green eyed alpha simply smiled at him, the white haired omega cursed under his breath. "Fine. One hug. And that's it, Kumeno."

The green eyed alpha smiled and pulled Sanemi into a hug, the white haired omega pat him on the back and kept his annoyed expression. As much as Sanemi was annoyed with Masachika, he deeply miss the older wind breather. The green eyed alpha wasn't wrong when he called him his brother, the two were indeed very close, Sanemi just didn't like being treated like the little brother. Genya walked up to his pack holding his boyfriend in his arms, the green eyed omega was still nuzzling his lover and rubbing his scent all over him. The black haired alpha smiled as Inosuke showed how much he missed him.

Masachika let go of Sanemi as he looked over at Genya and Inosuke. "So, who's the omega?" The black haired omega looked over at Masachika for a minute, but didn't say a single word to him and went back to nuzzling Genya. "This is Inosuke, he's my boyfriend..as well as the mother of my pup....which has yet to be born." The violet eyed slayer awkwardly admitted the last two things. The green eyed alpha looked surprised then looked between Gyomei and Sanemi. "Genya's having a pup too??? Damn, I really have been gone for a long time." He laughed hysterically as he placed a hand on his forehead.

"Man, the last time I seen Genya he was still shorter than me! Now he's gonna be a father. Heh, the little guy's all grown up now." Masachika laughed and ruffled Genya's hair. The violet eyed alpha laughed at the older alpha's teasing and set Inosuke down so he could hug him too. Masachika smiled as he brought the younger slayer into a hug, Inosuke still seemed a little wary of the green eyed alpha, but he wasn't completely against getting to know him. "You the reason they took so long to get home?" The young omega pouted as he looked at the new alpha, who sheepishly laughed off the omega's glare. "Yeah, sorry about that. They ended up helping me with a demon."

"Hmph, don't ever hold them up like that again, or else I'll beat you to a pulp!" "Heh, sorry about that." The green eyed alpha sheepishly apologized to the small omega. Though Masachika was a strong and competent demon slayer he willingly chose to refuse the title of the wind hashira so Sanemi could take that role. He always joked that him choosing to stay as a kinoe lead to Sanemi meeting the love of his life. The white haired omega would always be deeply grateful that he did, he couldn't imagine a world without his husband or pups. Tsubasa and Shinya were too busy playing with the beads around Gyomei's neck to care about their uncle Masachika stopping by though.

"Kaw!! Delivery for Genya Shinazugawa and Gyomei Himejima! Head to the water estate!! Kaw!!" The group looked up as a kasugai crow circled around overhead. Sanemi looked back down at his brother and Husband with a glare. "The hell did you two buy? And why the hell is it at the damn water estate?!" Both tsuguko and mentor looked nervously back af the white haired omega as Sanemi readied his right arm to whack them both upside the head. Inosuke looked at the angry omega's expression and figured he should be angry too, so he started glaring as well. "W-we promise you'll both like it!" Genya held up his hands in front of him for a second before he covered up his head.

"Well I sure hope they do!! I told Kyojuro to make sure everyone got a flashy gift from Kyoto!" Inosuke looked over at the road, and his eyes lit up as he saw his mentor heading up the road towards them. "Of fucking course he's the reason behind this." Sanemi growled and pinched his nose bridge once more, he sighed and placed a hand on his stomach to try reminding himself of his pup so he didn't get too angry. "Now fucking explain the part about the water estate." Tengen trotted towards them with a stupidly mischievous grin on his face. "Now that's the surprise! You guys will just have to tag along to find out."

"I'm gonna kill you two." The white haired omega glared at his mate and brother. "I guess this is a good time for me to check out-" "You're coming with. Knowing you, you're ass is definitely a part of this shit." Masachika squeaked and tried his best not to look terrified of the pregnant omega. The white haired alpha ruffled his tsuguko's hair once he reached the group. Inosuke seemed quite happy at the thought of returning to his pack after so long, Genya could tell how much the omega missed them. As much as the green eyed omega loved his boyfriend and as much as he had grown to love the rest of Genya's pack, he deeply missed his own pack.

The way he held onto Tengen's hand after the albino alpha stopped petting him was proof enough. Sanemi interrupted Genya's thoughts with a frustrated growl. "Alright, let's get this damn thing over with." Gyomei made sure to support his mate as the white haired omega began walking, the group of eight then made their way to the water estate. Inosuke walked a little bit ahead of the group out of pure excitement to be seeing his pack again. He had really missed Tanjiro's comforting scent, picking on Zenitsu, Nezuko's warm hugs, and even the tea Kanao made for them whenever she visited.

After a little while Gyomei had to pick up Sanemi so he didn't get too worn as they walked. The white haired omega didn't fight back or insist walking on his own either, his feet were too sore for him to try to even try. Inosuke dragged Genya by his hand so they could be the first ones to the water estate, the black haired alpha simply went along with his antics. Masachika tried to slip away while they were walking, but one glare from Sanemi was enough to keep him from trying again. Tanjiro was waiting for them outside the gates of the water estate and as soon as Inosuke saw him he immediately tackled the other omega into a hug.

The burgundy haired omega laughed as he hugged the smaller slayer, he looked over to the others and waved with a smile on his face. Sanemi grimaced at the sight of Tanjiro and glared at his husband again. Gyomei nuzzled his mate as an apology. "I promise it won't be so bad." "Hmph." Sanemi and Tanjiro never got along, but since the white haired omega was currently in the other omega's territory he wasn't going to start an unnecessary fight and cause his pup unnecessary stress. The red eyed omega guided them inside and to the main living room.

Kyojuro and Zenitsu were sitting down on some cushions talking to each other, Tengen walked over to the other alpha's and sat down. The smaller blonde alpha looked annoyed at the sight of his mentor, but didn't say anything. Gyomei set his mate down and allowed Giyuu and Tanjiro to lead him away with Inosuke. Sanemi begrudgingly followed the other omega's even though he really didn't want to. Genya, Masachika, and Gyomei joined the other alpha's, once the blind hashira sat down he allowed the pups to say hello to the others. Kyojuro smiled at the two pups as they immediately went to play with his cape.

Giyuu lead the other omega's into a spare room where a peach haired omega had been waiting for them. Giyuu then handed Sanemi and Inosuke each their own juban. "Change into these first, then we'll start on your makeup and hair." Both omega's grimaced at the the mention of makeup. "Hell no! The last time I wore makeup I looked terrible!!" Inosuke growled at Giyuu. "That's because Tengen was messing with you three." Sanemi didn't look happy about the concept of wearing makeup either. Inosuke huffed as he went behind one of the byōbu that had been set up to put the juban on.

Though it had been a little while since he wore a kimono Inosuke still remembered how to put a juban on. Sanemi went behind the other byōbu on the opposite side of the room to change into his juban. Inosuke was the first to step out since the white haired omega needed a little more time. Sabito had Inosuke sit down on a cushion in front of him before he wiped down his face and pinned his hair back. Sabito took some of the different face powders and compared them to the smaller omega's skin before picking one and applying it to his face. The purple eyed omega gently applied rouge to Inosuke's cheeks and used a brush to blend it out before adding a pale pink lipstick.

The peach haired omega then applied a soft and light pink eye shadow to the corner of his eyes before adding western mascara to his lashes. Once satisfied with his work the purple eyed omega set the brushes aside and closed the makeup he used. "Alright, that should be all for you" Sabito took down the green eyed omega's hair then picked up a brush to lightly comb it out. "Next for you will be the kimono. Tanjiro's gonna help you out with that." The burgundy haired omega opened up the box that contained the kimono Genya had bought for his boyfriend and laid everything out.

Sanemi walked out from behind the byōbu, he took his time with the juban so he could delay putting on makeup. Giyuu helped the pregnant omega sit down in front of him on one of the cushions. The white haired omega glared at the face powder and grabbed the black haired omega's wrist to stop him. "I'm not covering your scars. This face powder doesn't have any lead in it so you can relax." Sanemi eyed the other omega suspiciously, but let go of his wrist. "I still don't see the point of this...it's not like Gyomei could see me anyways.." "This isn't for Gyomei." The blue eyed omega said as he began pinning his hair back.

"It's for you." Giyuu then carefully applied the face powder around the other omega's scars then used a darker powder and a smaller brush to redefine his scars. "The fuck does that mean?" "You'll see." The blue eyed omega then went through the same process Sabito used for Inosuke's makeup. The water hashira used a soft warm-toned brown eyeshadow on Sanemi before using the same type of mascara Sabito used. He applied a soft colored lip color that matched Sanemi's natural shade. Once Giyuu finished the wind hashira's makeup he then unpinned his hair and carefully combed it out.

Sanemi honestly didn't know why he was even going along with the whole thing, but he figured that if his husband went through the trouble of getting him a special kimono he might as well get dolled up just this once. While the water hashira was opening up the box containing the white haired omega's kimono the lavender eyed omega looked over to see how Inosuke was doing. The green eyed omega standing up and gritting his teeth while Tanjiro gently tied the obi around him, just above his stomach. The burgundy haired omega made sure not to tie any knots that would be uncomfortable or too tight on him.

Inosuke hated wearing clothes that dulled his sense of touch, but at the very least the fabric was very soft on his skin and the obi helped support his growing breasts. Sanemi looked back at Giyuu as the blue eyed omega helped him stand up, the water hashira then handed the kimono to him. "Do you want to do it yourself or do you want help?" Sanemi took the kimono from him and looked at it for a bit. "I can do it myself." The white haired omega then went through the process of putting the piece on. He made sure that the kimono folded over his body properly and adjusted so it the hem was higher up to reduce the possibility of tripping.

Sanemi then carefully tied a suzuro koshihimo just above his stomach to keep the kimono in place before he added on the obi above it. He tied the obi into a kai-no kuchi knot in the front then shifted it to the back. Giyuu couldn't help but smile at the other omega, he then made his way over to one of the closets in the room and pulled out a large mirror. When the wind hashria saw himself in the mirror he almost couldn't recognize himself. For once in Sanemi's life he felt beautiful, he hated to admit it, but Giyuu was genuinely talented when it came to makeup.

His kimono was a beautiful dark green color that got darker towards the hem, the kimono had a beautiful gold cloud pattern that started just above his hips with a crane outlined in white thread on the left side of the kimono. The obi was a simple light green with a fan pattern outlined in yellow thread. He'd never felt so pretty in a kimono before, he'd always thought that his scars ruined any chance of him ever being beautiful, but here he was. His stomach didn't look as big either with the layers of fabric he was wearing, and the kimono compliment his figure nicely. Sanemi stubbornly wiped his eyes dry once he felt tears starting to form.

Stupid fucking hormones.. He couldn't help it though, he genuinely felt good about how he looked for the first time in his life. Giyuu gave the other omega a moment to himself, Sabito handed Tanjiro the kanazashi meant for Inosuke and the burgundy haired omega pinned it into place on the left side of the omega's head. After a small bit the white haired omega walked over to the others, with his typical scowl though the others already knew he was just putting up a front to save face. "Let's just get this damn thing over with.." Giyuu gave the other omega a sympathetic look which only served to piss the white haired hashira off.

While the omega's were in the other room getting ready the alpha's were all in the living room chatting and sharing snacks. Genya watched as Tengen tried to get Tsubasa to come over to him, but the white haired pup wasn't having it. The lavender eyed pup would rather stay in his father's lap while his brother played with the prayer beads on Gyomei's wrist. The blind alpha smiled lovingly at his sons, Tengen gave a dramatic sigh before he looked over to his best friend. "Kyojuro, if you and Giyuu have pups make sure you raise them to appreciate the art of being flashy."

"I have no idea what that means! But if me and Giyuu were to have pups it would certainly be a blessing! But it's not something I'd require to be happy with him!" The flame haired alpha had his typical smile on his face which made the white haired alpha sigh. "I don't know why I bother." "What's wrong? Upset that even toddlers don't like you?" Zenitsu snickered at his mentor's distress. "What'd you say, pipsqueak?! Say it again I dare you!" The blonde alpha yelped and hid behind Genya, the black haired alpha sighed and looked back at his friend. "I don't know why you bother dishing out smack talk if you fold at the slightest hint of aggression."

"You fold as soon as your brother gets mad at you." Genya looked away from the blonde alpha, he didn't want to admit that he was right. When the door slid open the group immediately turned to look. The first to step out was Tanjiro, then Sabito, and Giyuu. Neither of them were wearing anything special or any makeup, but Zenitsu was still fawning over his mate. Masachika seemed a little bashful when the peach haired omega sat down next to him. Tanjiro and Giyuu moved aside so that the two remaining omegas could step out, Inosuke was the first of the two to walk out and the sight of him in his brand new kimono made Genya speechless.

The beauty of the green eyed omega combined with the beauty of the blue kimono was almost too much for the violet eyed alpha to handle. Genya wanted nothing more than to run up to his boyfriend, scoop him up, and spin him around. Inosuke then stepped aside and Sanemi hesitantly walked out, the white haired omega also looked absolutely gorgeous. The violet eyed alpha smiled at his brother and felt proud to be Sanemi's brother. "Mama's pretty!" Shinya had a wide smile on his face as soon as he saw his mother standing in the doorway. Tsubasa perked up and looked over to where his brother was looking then he too was beaming at their mother.

Sanemi couldn't help but smile a bit as he made his way over to his mate and pups, Gyomei kissed his mate on the head as soon as the omega reached them. Inosuke made his way over to the group, Tengen smiled after seeing the green eyed omega and wiped a tear from his eye. "I feel like a proud father." "Again, he's not your son, old man." The white haired alpha glared at Zenitsu, then turned his glare at Genya when the black haired alpha pulled Inosuke into his arms, he'd always be protective of his tsuguko. The violet eyed alpha kissed his boyfriend all over his face and nuzzled him. "You look so beautiful, Ino."

The green eyed omega had a proud expression on his face as he was praised by his lover. Giyuu sat down next to his husband and nuzzled him lovingly, Kyojuro kissed his husband on the cheek and held him close. Zenitsu immediately pulled Tanjiro into his lap as soon as the burgundy haired boy sat down. "So, why exactly did you guys buy all this stuff?" Sanemi looked at his husband for an answer, the blind alpha smiled and gently brushed his mate's hair aside. "Well, originally we wanted to bring gifts for you and Inosuke as an apology for being away for so long, but after we ran into Masachika, he gave us the idea to do all this for you as an early birthday gift. Tengen, Kyojuro, and Giyuu helped work things out as well"

The white haired omega couldn't help but blush a bit, he then pulled his pups into his arms as a distraction. "You didn't have to do all this for me.." Gyomei smiled and kissed his mate on the head. "You needed a chance to feel good about yourself again." Inosuke looked up at Genya as if he was also expecting an answer for why he was now wearing a fancy kimono. "It's getting colder out, and I wanted you to have something comfortable and pretty to wear." Genya kissed his boyfriend on the head affectionately, the black haired omega sighed and accepted his answer. "I still don't like having my senses dulled.."

"Ino, you won't be fighting for a long time anyways. Even after you have the pup, might as well be comfortable while waiting." Inosuke didn't argue, he had to at least agree since the fabric of was rather warm and soft on his skin. The rest of the night was filled with drinks, mostly non-alcoholic, food, fun, laughter, and terrible drunk singing from Tengen and Kyojuro. Eventually Nezuko came out to play with makeup with Giyuu and Sabito, much to Sanemi's annoyance who held his sons close at the sight of her. Much to the white haired omega's chagrin it was too dark out to walk back home with the pups so he immediately knew they'd have to spend the night.

Genya had no problem with it since he'd get to stay with Inosuke the whole night. Another concern Sanemi had was that Tsubasa and Shinya didn't have a crib, but Gyomei reassured him that the pups were already old enough to start sleeping in their own beds. The blind alpha scooped up the two pups who had fallen asleep curled up in his haori and carried them over to the guest room he and Sanemi would be staying in. The lavender eyed omega immediately followed his mate as soon as the alpha left with the pups. Inosuke dragged Genya back to his room so they could nest.

The black haired omega just wanted to sleep, but his boyfriend couldn't get the thought of something more out of his head due to how beautiful he found his partner. Not wanting to pressure Inosuke into anything he was too tired for he settled for just holding his lover close. Once the omega was ready for bed he immediately curled up in his boyfriend's arms, he buried his nose in the alpha's scent gland, and focused on his scent until he fell asleep. Genya kissed the omega on his head as he closed his eyes and began to drift off. The two were glad to finally be sleeping in each other's arms again.

Chapter Text

Before Inosuke knew it January had arrived which meant that Genya's birthday was just a few days away. The green eyed omega had absolutely no idea what to get him or what to do for him. The black haired omega knew that on birthdays people typically got special gifts or treatment, but he was having a hard time deciding. Inosuke wanted to go to Tanjiro for help, but the burgundy haired omega's advice didn't really help him decide, the red eyed omega's suggestions were all too vanilla for Inosuke's liking. Inosuke was frustrated and it wasn't like Genya made it obvious what he wanted either.

The black haired alpha never really asked for anything or got little gifts for himself. When Inosuke asked Sanemi about it the older omega just said that Genya was used to taking care of their younger siblings with him and never really focused on himself. The black haired omega only had about four days left to decide on something for his boyfriend, but it didn't seem like enough time to decide. The green eyed omega sat up in his nest and made his way to the kitchen. Tanjiro always says it's easier to think on a full stomach...I hate thinking. Using my brain is just to damn annoying.

Inosuke stepped quicker when he caught the scent of something cooking, it smelled like meat and the green eyed omega's interest was immediately peaked. Once he got to the kitchen he found Zenitsu taking some nikuman buns out of a bamboo steamer. The blonde alpha placed the freshly cooked buns on a separate plate before placing the uncooked buns into the steamer and putting the basket lid back on. "You'll have to wait a little bit for them to cool down, they should be safe for you to eat too." The brown eyed alpha said before turning to look at him.

Inosuke walked further into the kitchen, now that he thought about it an alpha would probably know what another alpha would want for their birthday. "Oi, you know what alpha's like! What should I get Genya for his birthday? Tanjiro said people get gifts on their birthdays!" The blonde alpha stared blankly at him. "You're seriously asking me for advice on what you should do for Genya's birthday?" The prime alpha sighed. "I'm pretty sure Tanjiro would kill me if I gave you any suggestions. Why don't you just go with whatever he sugges-" "Because all of his suggestions are boring!!!"

"Trust me, he's only giving you tame suggestions for a reason. Look I don't know Genya well enough to give you advice on what to get him." Zenitsu grabbed a plate and placed three buns on it before handing it to the green eyed omega. Inosuke immediately took a bite of one of the nikuman buns as soon as he could. It wasn't as good as the ones Tanjiro made, but it wasn't bad at all. The pork and lettuce filling was much sweeter than the ones the burgundy haired omega made and the outside was rather soft and fluffy. Zenitsu didn't cook as often as his mate did since the red eyed omega really loved cooking for others.

"Well what would you want on your birthday?" The omega said with his mouthful before taking another bite. "Don't talk with your mouth full. I don't think I could tell you without Tanjiro or Genya getting mad at me for saying it." "It's something perverted is it?" The blonde alpha turned his head away. "Listen, I said Tanjiro only gave you TAME suggestions." The green eyed omega went quiet for a moment before putting two and two together. "THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" "PROBABLY WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS." The two glared at each other for a minute.

"Why the hell did I even bother asking you?" Inosuke growled as he took a bite of the third bun. Zenitsu muttered something under his breath as he took the rest of the buns out of the steamer. "Look, you asked what an alpha would want on their birthday and you were able to figure out what I meant without me spelling it out for you, so maybe that's the answer." The blonde alpha huffed as he placed the rest of the buns on two plates before putting another three on Inosuke's plate. "If you really wanna know what Genya wants then just ask him instead of asking others for what YOU should do for YOUR alpha!"

Inosuke growled as he tore into one of the fresh nikuman buns, he didn't want to admit that Zenitsu was right. He hated it when the blonde alpha was right about something, but at the very least he gave him food so he wasn't gonna complain anymore. The blonde alpha pat him on the head for a second before taking the other plates to his room so Tanjiro could eat. The black haired omega finished eating before standing up to leave for the stone estate. As he stood up he felt his pup move around, he placed a hand over his stomach to hopefully calm it down.

"Oi, don't get mad at me. It's your dad who's being difficult.." Inosuke muttered as he made his way to his room to grab something warm to wear on the walk over. The pregnant omega huffed as he tried to put on his kimono on his own. Tanjiro taught him how to put it on, but he still struggled with it, both Sanemi and Tanjiro told him not to tie the belts over his stomach or too tightly. He just tied the suzuro koshihimo on loosely and called it good, he made sure that the hem of the kimono was higher so it didn't get too covered in snow while he walked. Grabbing out a thick fur cape he tossed it on and left his room once he deemed himself warm enough.

Just was he was about to reach the front door he realized that it would be far safer for his pup if he had Tanjiro or Zenitsu with him. He turned around and made his way to his friends' room to drag one of them with him. As soon as he entered their room he grabbed Tanjiro by his wrist and dragged him out. The blonde alpha sighed and followed the two omegas out of the room. "Inosuke??? W-whao, what's going on???" "We're going to the stone estate." "Huh?? Why?? Isn't Genya going to visit tomorrow??" The green eyed omega paused and looked back at him. "I need to ask him what he wants for his damn birthday."

"It's four days away, you can wait for him to come over tomorrow. It'd be safer for your pup too, what if you fell or got too cold while trying to go over there?" Zenitsu said as he took his mate back from Inosuke's hold. The black haired omega let out a frustrated sound. "That's why I was taking Tanjiro!-" "You're waiting till tomorrow." The blonde alpha huffed, even though Inosuke now had a potential mate his safety was still under Zenitsu and Tanjiro's jurisdiction. He frowned as he wanted to argue again, but deep down he knew he was right and that Zenitsu was just trying to protect him.

Sure enough Genya did visit the next day, the black haired alpha immediately hugged his boyfriend as soon as he saw him. The pregnant omega rubbed his scent all over the black haired alpha which made him smile warmly at him. "I take it you missed me?" The green eyed omega huffed and looked away. "N-no..I don't miss anyone!" Genya laughed and kissed his boyfriend. "I missed you too Ino." The black haired omega had forgotten about what he was going to ask his boyfriend, instead he just grabbed the alpha's wrist and dragged him to his room. He grabbed some things from his nest and handed them to his boyfriend to scent.

Genya chuckled a bit, but regardless he scented the items the omega handed to him. Inosuke seemed quite happy to have his alpha's scent in his nest refreshed. The violet eyed alpha watched his boyfriend go through his nest and retrieve items that needed scenting. The black haired alpha walked up behind the small omega, hugged him from behind, his hands roamed down to the omega's stomach, and felt how much it had grown through the omega's clothes. Inosuke nuzzled his boyfriend and purred at his affection. "How have you two been? Did Shinobu say anything during your last appointment?" The black haired omega shook his head as he handed the alpha another blanket to scent.

"So everything going okay? You're a little quiet right now." He nodded. "I'm just tired, I didn't sleep too good last night." "Do you want to rest for a bit?" Genya asked as he nuzzled the omega and scented him. Inosuke thought for a bit before handing him another piece of fabric to scent. The alpha simply pulled his boyfriend down into the nest and released his scent which seemed to please his boyfriend. "You really are tired.." the black haired alpha said as he pulled his boyfriend into his arms. When Genya looked back down at Inosuke the omega was already asleep and using his chest as a pillow. The alpha smiled affectionately at him for a minute before looking at the door as he heard footsteps.

The door slid open and Tanjiro peaked in. "Is he asleep?" The burgundy haired omega asked quietly, the violet eyed alpha nodded. "Yeah, what's up?" The red eyed omega carefully stepped into the room making sure not to be too loud so he didn't wake up the sleeping omega. "I was just checking in, he didn't sleep well yesterday because of how stressed out he was." The black haired alpha looked down as his boyfriend with a slight concerned look on his face. "Do you know what he was stressed about?" Tanjiro nodded and spoke again.

"He was trying to figure out what he should do for you for your birthday, he wanted to go to the stone estate yesterday to ask you, but Zenitsu stopped him because of how bad the weather was yesterday." The black haired alpha sighed and gently pet Inosuke's hair. "Well I'm glad Zenitsu didn't let him go, Gyomei had to fight through the snow last night so the path to the stone estate was pretty bad. Nemi wants to move the pack to the wind estate since it's closer to the butterfly estate." Tanjiro nodded as he listened to the black haired alpha speak. "Send a letter when your pack moves over there so Inosuke knows."

"I will." The burgundy haired omega waved goodbye then slipped out the room and closed the door behind him. Genya kissed his boyfriend on the head before he let himself drift off to sleep. The two woke up a few hours later when Zenitsu came into their room to wake them up for dinner. Inosuke was still a bit groggy when they woke up so Genya waited for him to wake up more before heading down to the dining room with him. Inosuke did wake up more once he got a plate full of food in front of him though, especially since Tanjiro made tonkatsu ramen. It was the first time in months that the green eyed omega had any ramen so he eagerly started eating.

Genya found it adorable how simple things like food could make his boyfriend so happy, he smiled, and enjoyed his own bowl of ramen. However the trade off for Inosuke getting ramen was that the red eyed omega made him eat lots of vegetables as well. "What?! I never agreed to that!!" "Inosuke if you don't eat the vegetables too then I'm not going to make you any food like this for the rest of your pregnancy." The smaller omega huffed and begrudgingly ate the plate full of vegetables that Tanjiro handed to him. Once Inosuke finished eating he glared at the younger omega, the burgundy haired omega simply smiled at him. "I'm proud of you for eating your vegetables, Inosuke."

The smaller omega smirked and basked in the praise, Zenitsu rolled his eyes as he finished his meal. Inosuke looked over at Genya as soon as he remembered what he had forgotten to ask. "Oi, what do you want for your birthday?? It's like three days away." "Huh? Oh, I almost never do anything for my birthday. I usually just use the day off to catch up on sleep. Nemi usually let's me pick what's for dinner though." The black haired omega let out a sigh, at the very least he didn't have to plan anything special, he was never good at planning anything anyways. "I guess we'll just do whatever you want then"

"Sounds good to me." The black haired alpha said as he continued to eat, he quietly wondered to himself if Tanjiro would be willing to teach him some recipes so he could cook for Inosuke in the future. "Maybe I could try cookin-" "Hell no. The last time Tanjiro tried to reach you how to cook you nearly burnt the kitchen down." The blonde alpha glared at his friend, Inosuke glared back at him in return. Genya honestly didn't feel surprised that Inosuke couldn't cook, but it Tanjiro couldn't teach him what chances did he ever have of learning? "I guess I'll be the one cooking for you and the pup then, huh?" "Oi I can learn how to cook! Just watch me!!"

Genya couldn't help but smile at the omega's enthusiasm for wanting to do something for him, he pulled Inosuke into his arms, and kissed him. The black haired omega was quiet after that, much to the blonde alpha's relief. "Hey, Genya, have you thought of any names yet? Inosuke hasn't other than 'Lord Inosuke the Second.' Please tell me you won't let him name the pup that." Zenitsu looked at the other alpha with a blank look on his face. "Huh..now that you mention it, I haven't really thought about it...but yeah I'm not letting Inosuke name the baby that." The green eyed omega looked even more offended when he saw that even Tanjiro looked relieved.

"It's a good name!" "In what world?!" The brown eyed alpha looked at Inosuke like he was a complete idiot, he wasn't too far off either. "If you two don't stop fighting I'm not cooking for a week." Both Zenitsu and Inosuke immediately shut up, neither of them wanted to have to go without the burgundy haired omega's food for an entire week. "Damn, pulling out the big guns, ay Tanjiro?" Genya laughed as he looked on at the red eyed omega's proud expression. "Well it's the only thing that seems to work for these two." He said as he ruffled his mate's hair, Zenitsu leaned against his omega with a dumb smile on his face.

When the day of Genya's 20th birthday finally rolled around Inosuke was extremely excited to spend the whole day with his boyfriend, but that wouldn't be the case. A crow came by and delivered a letter for the green eyed omega, not being able to read he made his way over to Tanjiro to have him read it for him. The burgundy haired omega read the letter and took a few minutes to read it. "Genya said Shinazugawa's running a fever and Himejima took him to the butterfly estate just to be safe. So Genya's watching the pups. He might not be able to come over." The red eyed omega gave his friend a sympathetic look.

Inosuke felt disappointed that Genya wasn't able to visit, but he was more worried about the white haired omega. In the short time that they had to get to know one another Inosuke had really started to look up to the older omega, the two had started to form a sort of bond. "Inosuke, if you'd like, me and Zenitsu can bring you over to the wind estate. I'm sure it would help Genya feel better having you by his side. And I'm sure Shinazugawa will be okay." Tanjiro gave his friend a reassuring look, the black haired omega thought about it and nodded. Inosuke got up to go get ready to leave for the wind estate, quickly making his way to his room.

The green eyed omega quickly looked for his furred cape and his favorite blue haori. Since he was already wearing his kimono he didn't have to worry about putting it on so he just tossed on his haori and cape then went back to meet up with Tanjiro. By the time he reached his friend's room both the red eyed omega and his mate were standing outside of the room with their uniforms on. Of course the burgundy haired omega also had Nezuko's box on his back, he never went anywhere without her. Tanjiro gently adjusted the pregnant omega's cape to make sure it was properly keeping him warm before the three made their way to the door.

After putting on their boots the trio made their way over to the wind estate. It took them longer to get to the wind estate since it was much further away from than the stone estate was to the water estate. The group walked with Tanjiro in front, Inosuke in the middle, and Zenitsu in back to keep watch of his pack. The green eyed omega couldn't help but feel a little bit of anxiety, he couldn't stop feeling worried about Sanemi. He couldn't help but worry about the other expecting mother, he knew that the white haired omega had complications in the past so he couldn't help his concern.

Genya was doing his best to keep his nephews busy so they didn't get too worried about their mom. Tsubasa was easy to keep entertained since he could easily be distracted by toys, but Shinya however was a different story. The black haired pup easily noticed that his mother wasn't there and kept trying to wander off to find him. The three year old was almost always by his mother's side whenever he was around, neither of the pups liked having their mother away from them for too long. Genya scooped up his nephew when the pup tried to leave the room to go find Sanemi. "I wanna find mama and papa!!"

The black haired pup squirmed around in his uncle's arms and tried to get free, the violet eyed slayer felt exhausted as he tried to stay calm. "Shinya, I told you, they went to go see Shinobu. He'll be home once she says he's okay." The brown eyed pup glared at his uncle and pouted as he finally gave up. Tsubasa looked up from the paper he was drawing on and turned his attention to the other two. "Why go see Shinobu?" The white haired pup waited tor Genya to give him the answer he was looking for, the black haired alpha sighed. "He's a little sick right now and they just wanna make sure him and the baby are okay. They'll come home soon, I promise."

The violet eyed alpha sat down and let Shinya go, he had to give it to Sanemi and Gyomei, taking care of three year old twins was hard. After a few minutes of watching the pups he caught the scent of Inosuke and his pack. Huh?? Am I just smelling things? He got up and looked over to the pups. "I'm gonna go check on something, you two stay here." He said as he left, he made his way to the entrance of the wind estate, and opened the door. Inosuke immediately pulled Genya into a hug. "What are you guys doing here?" He said as he hugged the omega back and looked over at the two others.

"Inosuke really wanted to see you and we thought that maybe you could use some company and help with the pups." Tanjiro said with a friendly smile on his face. "And I'm guessing we were right." Zenitsu said looking down at something on the ground, Genya followed his gaze and was met with two little pairs of eyes looking back at him. Tsubasa and Shinya had followed him all the way to the door, the black haired alpha sighed as he picked his nephews up. "I told you to stay in the room." He wasn't angry or anything, he was just exhausted. He scooped his nephews up and welcomed the three of them inside.

The black haired alpha lead the them to the living room, he set the twins down once they entered the room. Both pups tugged on Inosuke's sleeves begging him to play the green eyed omega simply laughed and went along with them. "Be careful with him you two." Genya calmly said as he sat down. "Don't worry! My tiniest minions couldn't even put a scratch on me!" The black haired alpha chuckled and watched the two toddlers run around the room with Inosuke. Tanjiro and Zenitsu sat down next to Genya and watched as well. He's pretty good with kids, I wonder how good he's gonna be with our pup.

The black haired alpha let out a sigh as he was finally able to get a break from wrangling the pups. Inosuke laughed as he played with the twins, the two pups giggled and smiled as they chased the black haired omega around. "Genya, have you and the pups had anything to eat yet?" The violet eyed alpha looked over at the burgundy haired omega. "We had lunch a few hours ago, but not dinner." "Well you said your brother always let's you choose what dinner is on your birthday, what did you want?" Genya took a few minutes to decide, normally he'd decide on something simple. "How about nabe? The wind estate has an irori in the dining room."

He stood up to show burgundy haired omega to the irori, just as the blonde alpha was tackled by the pups. Zenitsu yelped, but decided to play along instead of cowering in fear, he'd have to get used to it for many reasons after all. Inosuke laughed as the twins ganged up on the brown eyes alpha. The blonde picked both pups up and spun around with them playfully, he made sure to have a good hold on them as to not accidentally drop them. Both pups were smiling and laughing when Genya and Tanjiro left the room. The red eyed omega was happy seeing his mate getting along with pups since the blonde alpha would need the practice soon.

Not just for Inosuke's coming pup, but for also any children him and Tanjiro possibly had in the future. The black haired alpha lead his friend to the dining room then opened a door that was off to the side of it. The room didn't have too much furniture, instead it had cushions on the edge of the dug out that surrounded the irori in the middle. A pole suspended by a chain was in the center of the room hanging just above the hearth. "This reminds me of the one that Urokodaki has, well not completely, his is a bit smaller" Tanjiro reminisced half to himself and half to the older slayer. Genya nodded a bit and thought of what ingredients they'd be using.

"There's a village closeby that we can get fresh ingredients from. It's not too far so we could go there and come back before it gets dark." The burgundy haired omega nodded along with his friend's suggestion. The two made sure to tell Zenitsu and Inosuke where they were going before they left the wind estate. They were only gone for about 40 minutes which was enough time for Inosuke and the twins to start bothering Zenitsu for food. Much to the blonde alpha's relief the other two slayers returned home with ingredients for dinner. Tanjiro immediately got to work preparing the broth for the hot pot.

It only took the red eyed omega an hour to have everything ready for them to enjoy nabemono for dinner. The matriarch omega made sure that there were plenty of vegetables for the green eyed omega and made sure everything chosen was safe for him to eat. Tsubasa and Shinya sat on either side of Genya so the black haired alpha could help them with cooking the things they wanted. Zenitsu and Tanjiro made sure to keep an eye on how long Inosuke was cooking his meats since neither of them wanted him to eat anything that wasn't cooked well enough. Genya's attention was already divided enough between the two three year olds so he appreciated them looking out for Inosuke.

The six spent the night talking about whatever topic became relevant as they shared their meal together, Inosuke took most of the beef for himself much to Zenitsu's annoyance. Once the pups felt too tired to stay awake any longer Genya picked them up and carried them to their room. He carefully tucked both of them into their beds, reassured them that their mother would be home by morning, and quietly left the room once they were asleep. The remaining four finished the rest of the food by themselves and made sure to clean everything they used so Sanemi wouldn't be too mad when he got home.

Genya showed Tanjiro and Zenitsu to a guest room they could used and went back to his room. There he found his boyfriend waiting on the bed for him, the black haired alpha smiled and joined the omega on the bed. He pressed his lips against the smaller slayer's as they began to undress one another. The violet eyed slayer affectionately nuzzled his boyfriend after seeing just how big his lover's stomach had gotten over the few months. Inosuke purred at his lover's affection and blushed as the alpha reached a hand between his legs. Genya kissed the green eyed omega deeply as he brushed his fingers against his entrance.

Inosuke moaned into the kiss and did his best to keep quiet as he felt his boyfriend's fingers begin to push into his vagina. The black haired alpha scissored the omega's cunt open as he made out with him. The pregnant omega whimpered as his boyfriend turned him around and pulled him into his lap. Genya spread Inosuke's legs over his lap, and pushed his fingers back inside to continue fingering him open. The green eyed omega gasped as his boyfriend kissed his neck and rubbed his clit with his thumb. Since the pregnancy hormones decreased the amount of natural lubricants his body produced they needed longer foreplay for the experience to be more comfortable.

Inosuke's legs shook as Genya carefully lifted his hips up and guided his cock inside. The green eyed omega moaned and nuzzled his boyfriend as he felt his lover's girth fill him. Inosuke panted as he adjusted to the alpha's size, he placed a hand over his stomach, and blushed as he looked down at it. Genya kissed his boyfriend on the cheek and affectionately held him as he began to roll his hips into his. The pregnant omega moaned under his breath as he was slowly fucked by the alpha underneath him. "You're d-doing so good Ino..hahh, f-fuck.." Genya panted as he rubbed Inosuke's inner thighs, stroked his cock, and thrusted into him simultaneously.

The smaller slayer moaned and whimpered, wondering who's was getting more special treatment, him or his boyfriend? Inosuke yelped in surprise when he felt the alpha's cock slide roughly over his g-spot, he blushed hard as Genya took notice and began rubbing his clit. "Ngh, G-Genya!~" "Shh, I got you babe...mmnh." The black haired alpha aimed for the omega's soft spot over and over again making him wetter and wetter in the process. Inosuke desperately moaned as he felt his orgasm being to build up inside him, he could tell that his boyfriend was enjoying his current state. "S-so big.." The alpha groaned as his lover squeezed his cock tightly.

Genya bit his lip and buried his face in the crook of Inosuke's neck as he rolled his hips into the omega's pussy at a slow, passionate pace. The black haired omega panted as the alpha's hand stroked his cock slowly, affectionately rubbing the base with each slide down his shaft. Inosuke whined he felt his boyfriend's cock twitch inside him, and with just a couple more thrusts the green eyed omega's orgasm was drawn out of him with a moan. Genya groaned as he felt the omega get tighter around him. The omega's cock spurted cum all over his boyfriend's hand and a his cunt quivered around the alpha's cock.

Inosuke whimpered when his lover kept going, he panted and held onto his boyfriend's arms as he felt him thrust a little harder into him. Genya grit his teeth as he fucked his omega through his orgasm. The black haired omega let out a small moan as his alpha's knot began to swell and tug at the lips of his pussy. The smaller slayer blushed and closed his eyes while his boyfriend continued to fuck into him. Genya growled and moved one of his hands to grip Inosuke's right thigh. After a few more minutes the black haired alpha popped his knot into the omega's cunt, earning a moan from him, and pumped his load deep inside.

Inosuke moaned and whimpered as he felt himself cumming again, the two sat there panting and trying to catch their breath for a few minutes. Genya gently kissed his boyfriend's neck and cheek, he rubbed the omega's hips, and affectionately nuzzled him. Inosuke panted and allowed his boyfriend to scent him, he gently rubbed his stomach after feeling the baby move. "The pup's moving again.." Genya perked up a bit and placed his hand on the omega's stomach, he frowned after not feeling anything, and moved his hand around to try to find movement. "I don't feel anything.." Inosuke huffed at him, his boyfriend simply sighed as he hugged him from behind.

"It's probably still way too small for me to feel it from the outside." The black haired alpha admittedly couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The two waited for the alpha's knot to go down so he could pull out, but in the meantime they scented one another. After pulling out, the two took a couple minutes to get cleaned up and get new bedsheets to sleep on. Once everything was deemed ready, Inosuke immediately started to nest with the blankets and pillows. Genya smiled as he watched the pregnant omega rearrange the blankets into a nest and once he felt it was good he pulled his boyfriend in. They shared a few tired kisses before curling up and falling asleep.

Chapter Text

It was early morning when Sanemi and Gyomei returned to the wind estate, with the albino omega's fever finally having gone down. The blind prime alpha carried his mate most of the way back to the wind estate while using his haori to keep him warm. Sanemi had tried to convince Gyomei he was fine, but his mate wasn't having it. When they entered the wind estate they were met with the scent of food cooking, the two made their way to the kitchen and found Tanjiro and Genya cooking. "The hell are they doing here?" The lavender eyed omega glared at Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. "They came over yesterday to keep me and the pups company."

The violet eyed alpha was still sheepish around his older brother, but he didn't want his friends to get in trouble. The white haired omega huffed, but before he could make his way over to the stove Gyomei stopped him. "Shinobu said for you to rest. That includes cooking." The lavender eyed omega glared at his husband, but sat down anyways. "What did Shinobu say? Is everything okay?-" "Everything's fine. The baby's okay and I'm okay. Gyomei's just being protective." Though Sanemi hated being babied he understood why his everyone was so worried about him and he honestly couldn't blame anyone for being so worried.

Inosuke went over to the other pregnant then hugged him and the white haired omega surprisingly didn't push him away. The albino omega simply pat him on the head as the younger omega took in his scent. The green eyed omega tended to become more attached to those he saw as mother figures, so it wasn't too much of a surprise. Though it did make Tanjiro a little jealous since he was Inosuke's mother figure first. Genya was just glad that his brother was trying to get along with the other omega, he knew Inosuke could come on strong so he was glad Sanemi wasn't aggressive or territorial with him like he was with Tanjiro.

"Where are Tsubasa and Shinya." Sanemi asked immediately after noticing that Nezuko's box was sitting off to the side in the kitchen. "They're still sleeping, I was gonna wake them up after we finished cooking." Genya tried to reassure his brother that the pups were fine since he knew the omega was aggressive with demons. Nezuko of course would never hurt the twins, but the wind hashira would never trust her as a demon. Inosuke sat down beside the older omega and watched as the blind alpha left the room. Gyomei made his way to his sons' room to wake them up and let them know that their mother was home.

"What're you making anyways?" The white haired omega eyed Genya and Tanjiro suspiciously as he watched them cook. "Miso soup, rice, tsukemono, and tamagoyaki." The burgundy haired omega answered as he was checking on the rice making sure it wasn't sticking to the pot. Sanemi nodded after a few minutes, though he didn't like Tanjiro he did respect the younger omega's ability to cook. The sound of little footsteps could be heard running down the hallway towards the kitchen. Immediately knowing what that sound was, the lavender eyed omega looked over at the doorway and waited to be tackled by his sons.

The pups made a beeline towards their mom as soon as they saw him and were immediately all over him. "Mama's back!!" "Mama!!" The twins hugged Sanemi as their mother brought them in closer, he lightly scented them, and allowed his sons to curl up against him. Zenitsu quietly watched the other's from where he was sitting, due to Genya and Inosuke, he didn't sleep so well the previous night. He'd been rather grumpy the whole morning and was pretty snappy towards the black haired alpha and omega pair. The smaller prime alpha refused to elaborate on why he was so grumpy, which concerned his mate a bit, his mate who slept peacefully beside him the whole night.

Zenitsu desperately wished he was deaf sometimes specifically because of the green eyed omega's antics. Inosuke on the other hand was currently very awake for the morning, he was now busy playing with the pups so Sanemi could rest a bit more. The prime alpha was about to fall asleep when suddenly Genya and Tanjiro started setting the table. The blonde lamented his missed opportunity to sleep, but he wasn't going to complain about getting a well cooked breakfast. Inosuke's attention was drawn to the food being placed in front of him long enough for Tsubasa to take his mask.

The green eyed omega gave the pup a betrayed look, but let him hold onto it as Tanjiro started to hand out plates. After breakfast was over and everything was cleaned up, Sanemi made Tanjiro's pack go home since he didn't want them there. Inosuke was welcome to stay only because he was Genya's boyfriend, but the green eyed omega decided on going home to the water estate instead. The hyacinth scented alpha stayed at the wind estate to help Gyomei take care of the pups while Sanemi got some much needed rest. Since the white haired omega was getting closer and closer to his due date he wasn't allowed to be too active for too long.

It had already been two days since Genya's birthday, but his friends still wanted to do something for him after feeling that they weren't able to do much for him on his actual birthday. Since it was a Saturday the pack decided it would be the best time to take their friend somewhere special to celebrate. Genya was worried at first, he didn't want to leave Sanemi, but the older omega and his mate reassured him that they'd be fine. Now he was being dragged by his boyfriend and their friends to a village, he wasn't sure what they were going to be doing, but Zenitsu said he knew a nice restaurant in the village they were going to.

Inosuke seemed eager at the thought of trying new food at first, but his excitement quickly faded when he remembered that he might not even be able to try anything new due to his pregnancy. Genya did his best to reassure him that there would surely be something there that he could enjoy without worry. Tanjiro also wasn't very excited since he was more worried about how much everything would cost. The burgundy haired omega grew up poor so he never got to have anything fancy or expensive, he was always worrying about his siblings having enough to eat, and even now with his current pay rate he was still worried. Old habits and concerns died hard for the red eyed omega.

Zenitsu did his best to reassure his mate that they'd be okay and that the cost wouldn't be an issue since they were all well paid as demon slayers. Even Inosuke was still getting paid well during his maternity leave, which was a godsend, the omega would definitely need the money to care for his baby once it was born. A crow flew over head to drop a letter off letting them know that Kanao would be meeting them in the village, Inosuke was a bit happier at the thought of seeing his friend again. It wasn't too far in terms of walking distance, but it was definitely far enough that if they didn't leave before sundown they'd be walking in the dark.

It would have been a much quicker trip if they had taken a train, but after their experience with the mugen train neither Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, or Inosuke felt comfortable traveling by train. So they walked, since they were all used to walking far distances it didn't bother them too much. But Genya did start carrying Inosuke because he didn't want him getting tired or overexerting himself. The group had left rather early in the day so it would be almost mid-day when they arrived at their destination. It wasn't a big village or very crowded so Inosuke would have almost no problem walking around. He just chose to stay near his boyfriend after seeing a few alpha's walking around.

The green eyed omega's instincts told him to stay well away from alpha's he didn't recognize, rogue alphas were more likely to be aggressive with a pregnant unclaimed omega. They soon met up with Kanao at the restaurant, where she had been waiting for them outside with Aoi. "Aoi? I didn't know you were coming as well!" Tanjiro smiled at the blue eyed alpha and waved to her, she waved back for a bit. The red eyed omega was too oblivious to ever have known the blue eyed alpha used to have a crush on him and Aoi never said anything because he was Zenitsu's mate. The blonde alpha, however, did notice the girl's feelings towards his mate back then.

He didn't care too much about it now since he knew she had moved on, but when he first found out he was extremely possessive of Tanjiro around her. Unfortunately, the omega she ended up developing a crush on just so happened to be the only other omega in the group, Inosuke. She never dared to say anything because the moment she finally gained the courage to speak to him she found out that he already was having Genya's baby. She respected Inosuke's choices without having to say a thing to him so she did her best to begin moving on. "Shinobu insisted that I go with Kanao so I could take a break from my chores for a bit."

"That's nice, I'm glad you could join us!" The red eyed omega smiled with his same kind and welcoming personality. Nezuko tapped on the walls of her box to say hello to the other two girls which made them smile. The group of seven then headed into the restaurant, it was rather as fancy as Zenitsu had said, it had ornate paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling, a more modern looking bar in back, and beautifully carved tables made from hinoki wood. As they were seated, handed menus, and severed green tea Inosuke frowned when he saw there were no pictures on the menu cards to help him decide.

Genya pointed at a few things on the menu that he recognized as safe for the pregnant omega and Inosuke was rather thankful for his help but refused to admit it. It was fine though because the violet eyed alpha could tell that he was appreciated. The menu had primarily Japanese dishes with a few western options mixed in, Zenitsu immediately ordered grilled unagi on rice and yakitori skewers. The rest took a bit to decide, but eventually picked omurice, steak, curry, tempura, yakizakana, and tsukemono. While they waited for their food to be served the group casually chatted about whatever felt relevant. The most relevant topic being Inosuke and Genya's pup not having a name yet.

"Have you two had any time to decide on a name for if it's a boy or a girl?" Kanao asked kindly, Genya covered Inosuke's mouth before he could proclaim their baby's name as 'Lord Inosuke the second.' "No, we haven't really had the time, I've been mostly busy on missions and Inosuke's not good with names." The black haired alpha admitted, the green eyed omega pushed his boyfriend's hand aside. "I already have one picked out!-" Genya, Tanjiro, and Zenitsu all stared at him with a blank look. "It's not the one I said before!" The black haired omega huffed at the other three boys. "Then what is it then?" The blonde alpha questioned the omega.

"It's Koichi." The green eyed omega proudly stated the name chosen for his baby. "You sure that's the name you actually picked? Or did you already get it confused?" Inosuke looked rather offended when Aoi asked him that question. "There's no way I'd mess the name up." The black haired omega huffed and leaned against his boyfriend for emotional support. "Koichi...I like it." Genya only took a minute to think about the name, and he liked the sound of it. "Do you have a backup name in case it's a girl?" Tanjiro gently asked his friend, he wasn't trying to be rude he was just curious. Inosuke shook his head before he spoke again.

"I can tell it's going to be a boy-" The others looked surprised and excited, except for Zenitsu who could probably hear the difference. "We're having a son???" Genya looked the most surprised, the green eyed omega hesitantly nodded, he wasn't quite sure if his boyfriend was happy or upset. His fears were quickly put to rest when the black haired alpha pulled him into his arms with tears in his eyes. Inosuke felt so much relief that his boyfriend was excited about the concept of having a son, he was happy that Genya was no longer as scared of being a father as he used to be. The black haired alpha kissed the pregnant omega all over his face, he himself never having expected to be so excited either.

Once the food arrived and each dish was placed on the table, Genya grabbed a plate of tempura and placed in front of Inosuke. The green eyed omega looked excited for a second, but paused and pushed it away. "It's okay, Ino, I asked Nemi and he said it was okay for you to eat tempura occasionally as a treat." Inosuke's eyes lit up, the green eyed omega immediately started eating the tempura. Tanjiro smiled at the other omega as he placed some vegetables on his plate for him to eat. Instead of refusing to try them, the black haired omega ate them without a single complaint, and continued to eat until he was full.

After lunch the group decided to explore the village. Their original plan to celebrate Genya's late birthday soon changed after the alpha suggested getting things for Inosuke and their son. The pregnant omega was then dragged pretty much every which way by his excited friends and boyfriend. After an hour of exploring countless stores around the village and buying things for Koichi, Inosuke decided he needed a break and stepped outside for some fresh air. He assured Genya that he'd be fine on his own, so the black haired alpha hesitantly let him go on his own. The green eyed omega found a place to rest nearby and appreciated being alone for a few minutes.

His quiet peace was soon interrupted by the scent of a familiar alpha, it was a scent that sent shivers down his spine, and every bone in his body told him that he needed to leave. But as Inosuke was getting up to leave a sickeningly familiar voice called out to him. "Been a long time, boar. Miss me?" He didn't want to turn around and look, he wanted to leave, he knew exactly who it was. Before the pregnant omega could walk away a hand grabbed him by the wrist, spun him around, and pinned him to the wall. There in front of him was the black haired alpha with cold turquoise eyes, Kaigaku Inadama.

"Did I fucking say you could ignore me?" The strong scent of smoke, galbanum, and the sickeningly sweet scent of peaches surrounded Inosuke. Though Zenitsu also had the scent of peaches it was far more pleasant than Kaigaku's, the blonde's scent was comforting while the black haired alpha's was unnervingly sweet. Almost as if that sweet scent was there to lure in unsuspecting omegas, it made Inosuke's skin crawl. The green eyed omega immediately tried to push the alpha away from him, he growled, and bared his fangs at Kaigaku. But much to his horror the alpha laughed and even more terrifyingly, he leaned in to smell his scent.

Kaigaku pulled away and growled at him. "Oh, you little whore. You just couldn't resist getting knocked up, huh?" He growled before he started to laugh as the omega's attempts to escape. "Tell me then, who was it? Zenitsu? Or that alpha you were with the last time I saw you?-" The black haired alpha's words trailed off as he looked closer at Inosuke's neck, he then laughed at his realization. "Looks like you're still free for the taking~" Inosuke growled and kneed him in the crotch before tearing his arm free from him to pull his other hand off. Kaigaku growled at him and raised his fist to hit him. "YOU LITTLE FUCKING BITCH. WELL, IF THAT'S HOW YA WANNA BE!"

Inosuke instinctively guarded his stomach and braced himself for impact, but the blow never came. Instead when he opened his eyes Genya was there, breathing hard, his eyes darkening with murderous intent, his scent overtaking the other alpha's. The violet eyed slayer had punched Kaigaku to the ground to prevent the other alpha from hitting Inosuke. The taller alpha bared his fangs as he growled, Genya smelled more like a demon in that moment, and for a second Inosuke thought he was one. "Keep your disgusting ass hands off of him." The younger alpha wasn't willing to back down from the older black haired alpha. Kaigaku growled back at the taller alpha.

"You fuckin' bastard." He grit his teeth as he tried standing back up, not realizing how hard the other alpha had hit him, and falling back down in the snow almost immediately after standing. Genya glared daggers at the older alpha as he protectively gathered his boyfriend into his arms, he could tell just how scared Inosuke was by how badly he was shaking. The green eyed omega would never admit how scared he was though, he didn't want to be vulnerable, but he had absolutely been terrified of the rogue alpha hurting his unborn son. The violet eyed alpha heard Inosuke's pack rushing towards them and decided his omega would be safer with the group.

"I'm s-" "Don't apologize. There's no way you could've known he was here." Genya couldn't bear hearing the omega apologize for almost being a victim. The taller black haired slayer carefully guided Inosuke back to the safety of his pack. It didn't take words for the the green eyed omega to know he'd never be allowed on his own again. The pregnant omega couldn't care less though, he just wanted to go home. Once they met up with the pack they could all tell that Inosuke was terrified, based on just how much he was shaking and clinging to Genya as well as how aggressive the black haired alpha looked. "Take him home. I'm going to go deal with the bastard who tried to hurt him."

Tanjiro pulled Inosuke into his arms as the violet eyed alpha coaxed him towards his pack. "Wait, I'll go with you." Zenitsu made his way over to the older alpha, he didn't even need to ask to know who it was. None of them did, the scent was clearly there, and it bothered the two omegas most of all. The burgundy haired omega held Inosuke close and gently used his scent to comfort him, the green eyed omega just hugged him as he buried his face in his haori. The two male alpha's made their way back to the place where Kaigaku had last been seen, but when they got there he was already gone. "Dammit, that fucking asshole!" Genya growled after the trail of footsteps lead into a crowd.

Zenitsu tried listening out for the rogue alpha, but growled when he couldn't find his sound. "Shit, there's too many people now, I can't tell if he's still here or not. He's fast as hell too, so he might of already escaped." Both alpha's were extremely frustrated, neither of them wanted to go back without dealing with Kaigaku, but neither of them wanted to leave the pack for too long. They turned around and headed back to where their pack was waiting for them, they could tell by the scent that they were still in the area so it saved them time not having to look too hard for them. Aoi looked up when she caught their scent and noticed them walking towards the pack. "They're back."

"Did you find him..?" Kanao asked hesitantly, as the two alphas looked away she had her answer. "How's Inosuke holding up?" Genya looked over at the black haired omega who was still hiding under Tanjiro's haori. "He's not hurt, but he's still pretty shaken up." Inosuke immediately hugged Genya as soon as the black haired alpha came close to him, he buried his nose in his scent gland, and tried his best to focus on him. The violet eyed alpha scooped his boyfriend up as the pack started heading back to the water estate. Tanjiro held onto his mate's arm to help calm him, but he himself was also having trouble staying calm.

But there was no use in letting their anger control them, not when the scent would stress the pregnant omega out more than he already was. Aoi and Zenitsu guarded the back of the pack while Kanao guarded the front. Genya walked in the middle of the group holding Inosuke close, the green eyed omega stayed quiet the whole way home. As soon as they made it back to the water estate the green eyed omega immediately jumped out of his boyfriend's arms and ran to his room to hide in his nest. The violet eyed alpha felt bad for his partner, but Tanjiro advised him to give the omega some time to himself.

As much as Genya wanted to go comfort his lover, he knew that the burgundy haired omega knew best when it came to Inosuke. "Kanao, are you and Aoi staying the night? Or are you two going back to the butterfly estate?" Tanjiro asked so he knew whether or not he needed to grab out any spare futons. Kanao looked over at Aoi for an answer, when she simply shrugged Kanao looked back at Tanjiro. "We'll be heading back to the butterfly estate, send a crow if any of you need anything." "Alright then, travel safely." The red eyed omega watched the two girls leave the water estate and went back inside once they vanished from sight. I hope Inosuke's okay..

The burgundy haired omega knew how much the other omega feared Kaigaku, he had more of a reason to than he did. Genya stayed in the living room with Zenitsu, they remained quiet, both feeling angered by the events prior to getting home. By the time the green eyed omega finally came out hiding Tanjiro was already cooking dinner. Inosuke immediately curled up in Genya's lap, he still seemed rather upset, and it was clear he wouldn't be his usual self for the rest of the day. It broke the black haired alpha's heart seeing his lover this way, he absolutely hated the thought of Inosuke not feeling comfortable in his own home.

Since the group had eaten a lot for lunch Tanjiro made a simple miso soup with some simmered vegetables on the side. "How's Koichi?" Genya looked over at his omega as Inosuke was handed a bowl of soup. "He's okay.." The black haired omega quietly placed a hand over his stomach for a second before he began eating. His voice was low, much quieter than he normally was which concerned his pack and Genya. "And you?" "Don't wanna talk about it.." "Okay.." the violet eyed alpha didn't push him any further, he knew his omega didn't have the energy for anything more. After dinner Inosuke brought his futon and blankets to Tanjiro and Zenitsu's room.

Zenitsu didn't like the idea of another alpha sleeping near his mate, but he'd make an exception for Genya for Inosuke's sake. Inosuke ended up not using his futon, he felt safer sharing one with Tanjiro. Which meant that Zenitsu had to grab a spare futon to sleep on since he wasn't going to share one with Genya. The burgundy haired omega allowed Inosuke to curl up in his arms and bury his nose in his scent gland for comfort. Tanjiro didn't mind one bit since he was used to doing this for his siblings after a nightmare and any good mother would do the same their child. That night the red eyed omega's scent comforted them as they slept close to one another.

Zenitsu listened closely for the sound of the demon him and Genya had been tracking for the past two days. It had been almost two weeks since the incident with Kaigaku, things had settled down, but the two alphas still felt uncomfortable leaving their omegas on their own. Tengen had agreed to stay over at the water estate while they were gone to ease their anxieties, but he ended up getting called away on a mission. Genya's mind was split between concern for his omega, his brother, and his focus on the mission. He had received a letter early that morning that Gyomei had taken Sanemi and the pups to stay at the butterfly estate because Sanemi started having contractions.

Since his focus was divided so much his reactions felt much slower, he could hear Zenitsu saying something, but he couldn't figure it out. "-Ya, Genya!!" Before the black haired alpha could respond he was thrown to the floor by the blonde alpha as an attack flew past him. "Huh?? What happened?" "The damn demon's here. Focus man!! How the hell am I supposed to tell Inosuke his boyfriend got killed by a low leveled demon!!!" The violet eyed alpha shook his head and stood back up with Zenitsu. "R-right, sorry." Their attention was brought back to the demon charging towards them. 

The two jumped out of the way as their enemy sent out a powerful kick that broke a tree in half, Genya aimed and fired at the demon as it was turning to face them. Before the bullets hit it the demon vanished from sight and reappeared in front of Genya. It's fast! The black haired alpha leapt backwards and fired again just as the demon was about to crush the barrel of his gun. "Thunder breathing, first form. Thunder clap and flash!" A flash of light was all Genya saw before the demon's head was sliced clean off. As it disintegrated into ash Genya only had one thought. "YOU COULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT SOONER?!- Wait..are you..sleeping?????"

The prime alpha seemed to snap out of it and wake up. "H-huh!? Wha??? What happened? Oh, did you slay the demon already?" The black haired alpha stared at the blonde with a look of disbelief. Genya sighed and shook his head. "Whatever..let's just head back." Zenitsu followed as the taller alpha turned and left. As the two returned to the wisteria house they felt a wave of relief wash over them after exiting the forest, both of them glad to be finally done with the demon that had been giving them such a headache tracking. It's speed and evasiveness had been such an annoyance for the two demon slayers to keep up with, now they could finally get some rest.

Once arriving at the wisteria house the medical staff checked them over for any wounds before giving them each a relatively clean bill of health. They didn't stay long because after resting for a bit the two departed from the wisteria house to make their way back to the water estate. It was a rather long walk back so neither of them expected to be back before dinner. The sun had long set by the time Zenitsu and Genya finally got close to the water estate. While walking the two spotted a figure running towards them quickly. Neither of them could tell who or what the figure heading down the road towards them was, it was too dark to make out any distinct features from how far away they were.

As the figure got closer the scent of distress, blood, fear, and something pungent became stronger. The two felt their anxieties rise as they realized the figure running towards them was Nezuko. Instead of stopping to greet them the young demon ran past the two alphas, as she passed them they realized she was wearing Tanjiro's uniform jacket around her neck and she was clutching a note tightly in her hand. It didn't take them long to realize something was very wrong. For Nezuko to be alone, covered in blood, Tanjiro nowhere in sight, and wearing his uniform with a note something had to be very, very wrong. The two took one look at each other before they bolted to the water estate.

Zenitsu used his thunder breathing to reach the estate quicker and as he got closer the sound of crying got louder to him. Fear, panic, and Dread filled him as he ran harder and faster to get home. No, no, no...p-please don't let it be what I think- As the blonde alpha opened the main door to the water estate everything in him froze as he was met with the disgusting scent of a rogue alpha in rut. Kaigaku had been there, as Zenitsu made his way through the estate his fear grew stronger and stronger, he was smelling blood, but where was it?? I dont hear Kaigaku so he's either dead or gone..I-I can hear Tanjiro a-and Inosuke..t-they're gonna be okay...r-right?!? 

"TANJIRO!!! INOSUKE!!!" Zenitsu shouted their names as he hurried to his and his mate's bedroom after using his hearing to guide him to the two omegas. His heart pounded harder and harder until it finally dropped when he made it to the doorway and looked into the room. There laying in a pool of his own blood was Tanjiro, Inosuke beside him, crying as he tried to stop his bleeding. The room a complete mess, the shoji door leading outside was wide open, broken furniture and blood scattered everywhere, Kaigaku's scent hanging heavily in the air. Inosuke was shaking as he struggled to keep pressure on the wound on the other omega's neck as well as keeping pressure on his own wounds.

"W-what happened here..??" The green eyed omega flinched as he heard the alpha's voice. The black haired boy looked back at Zenitsu with a look of pure terror in his eyes that he'd never seen Inosuke have before. "I-It all ha..happened s-so fast.." The blonde moved to his mate's side, doing his best to ignore the fact he was kneeling in his husband's blood. "Z-Zen..ny..?" The red eyed omega weakly called his mate's name as he noticed his scent. "S-shh, don't speak...save your strength...N-Nezuko went to go get Shinobu.." Zenitsu took over keeping pressure on Tanjiro's wounds, his heart sank further when the realization of what must have gone down hit him.

When the blonde heard Genya making his way to the room, he fought every instinct that screamed to keep the other alpha away from his pack. As soon as the black haired alpha made it into the room his complete attention was on the pregnant omega. Genya's blood ran cold seeing Inosuke's blood soaked yukata, he could tell by the way Inosuke was holding his arm that not all of the blood was Tanjiro's. The violet eyed alpha immediately ran to his boyfriend's side and began helping him stop the bleeding."I-it's gonna be okay now..I'm here.." Inosuke sobbed as he held onto his alpha, looking for comfort, and trying to distract himself from his fear. 

A few moments later Shinobu entered the room followed by Kanao and Aoi. The three tended to the injured omegas as best they could with their limited tools and supplies. Saving Tanjiro took priority since the burgundy haired omega was in much worse shape than Inosuke. After Kanao bandaged up Inosuke's arm, the green eyed omega curled up in Genya's arms, and carefully guarded his stomach. "Ino..is Koichi okay..?" The black haired omega nodded a bit. "..he's moving a lot, so I think he's going to be okay..." He didn't look back at Genya, instead his gaze was set on Tanjiro, watching as they stopped his bleeding and bandaged him up so they could move him.

A day had past since the attack, Zenitsu was still by his mate's side refusing to leave him as he waited for the omega to wake up. "Inosuke..what happened to you and Tanjiro, do you know who did this?" Shinobu gently asked the pregnant omega. They were sitting in Shinobu's office for privacy sake since everyone had come to see the two omegas. Inosuke stayed quiet for a bit as he did his best to find the words to properly explain what happened. "..I was sleeping..w-when I heard Tanjiro scream and things breaking...I got up and ran to his room..." he paused to wipe his tears away, Genya gently rubbed his back as the omega recomposed himself.

"A-and when I got there, Kainaku had Tanjiro on the ground...h-he stabbed him..a lot..Tanjiro was trying to kick him off when...w-when.." "It's okay Inosuke, take your time." Shinobu gently spoke to him in a motherly tone. "...when he tried to c-claim Tanjiro...I tried to pull Kigaku off of him and he tried to attack me too..I-I panicked..a-and froze..." Genya's heart broke for the green eyed omega, he hated hearing Inosuke sound so vulnerable and scared. "H-he tried to claim me too..b-but I used my arm to block him. N-Nemuko must have scared him off when she came into the room..I-I don't know if they fought...it's all so bl-urry..." Inosuke choked back a sob, he felt so useless to everyone at the moment.

"It's okay, Inosuke, we can figure out the rest.." Shinobu quietly said as Genya comforted the pregnant omega, Inosuke wished he could do more, he wished he could get names right, he wished he had been able to save Tanjiro, and he wished Kaigaku was dead. "..his name's Kaigaku Inadama..." Genya said just as the female alpha was about to finish her notes, she nodded and added it down on the paper. "Thank you both for the information..we'll see to it that Inadama receives the highest punishment for what he's done." And with that Shinobu left the room to check on her other patients. "..Inosuke...c-can...can I ask you something..?"

The green eyed omega nodded, it was almost as if he already knew what his boyfriend was going to ask even before he said anything. "...is Kaigaku the reason...why you're scared of being claimed..? H-has he done this to you before...??" Genya felt his heart drop even lower when Inosuke nodded. "A-a while back..h-he...he pinned me down...and...and he bit me...b-before he could...'do anything else'...my mentor stopped him and saved me..." "Inosuke.." "T-the mark didn't stay because I didn't claim him back..I-I was so s-scared...scared that I'd be h-his...mate! I hated it so much!" The black haired omega sobbed as he recounted his past experience with the rogue alpha.

"H-he told me...before he left...t-that I belonged to him..and I was scared of h-him being right..I don't want that! I don't want to belong to anyone, I don't want to be property!" Inosuke sobbed as he hugged Genya tightly, the one alpha in the world Inosuke truly felt safe being truly vulnerable with. "I hate him...I hate him so much! I-I hate fe-feeling so weak and vulnerable because o-of him!" "Ino, you're not weak." The black haired alpha wrapped his arms around the crying omega and did his best to comfort him. "T-then how come I can't e-even fight b-back against him?!" Genya took a minute to find the words he'd need to comfort him.

 "Ino..sometimes...sometimes it's hard to feel strong in front of someone who's taken your strength away from you...but it doesn't mean you're weak or that you let it happen." The violet eyed alpha did his best to comfort his boyfriend, but he wasn't sure if he had the right words for him or if him alone was enough for Inosuke to feel safe again. One thing was for certain in Genya's mind though, he was going to kill Kaigaku if he ever saw him again. Consequences be damned, he was going to end that alpha for all of the horrible things he's done to Inosuke and Tanjiro. "...D-do you think I'm strong..?"

Genya nodded and kissed him on the head. "You're one of the strongest people I know." He held the green eyed omega close. "Do you want to check on Tanjiro? Maybe he's awake right now." Inosuke shook his head. "I wanna lay down for a bit.." "Alright then, I'll go check on Tanjiro and Zenitsu, you can stay here and rest." The black haired omega nodded and curled up in the blankets provided as he layed down on the cot in Shinobu's office. Genya left his yukata with Inosuke so he'd have a comforting scent with him before he left to go check on their friends. As the violet eyed alpha made his way down the hall things about Inosuke became more clear to him.

The he way he acted when they were first paired up before he realized he didn't have to be claimed, the way he reacted when Genya said he wanted to be his mate one day, and the way Tengen was so protective of him around alphas. As he made his way down to the recovery room Tanjiro was placed in memories of what his brother had said long ago came back to him. Back when Genya first presented as an alpha he had told Sanemi that he wished he was an omega like him since he hated alphas at the time due to the way their father acted. The albino omega had gotten rather angry with him after he said that.

The next thing his brother said to him was 'It's hell being an omega. Never wish that kind of torture on yourself.' The more he thought about it the more Genya started to wonder. Nemi...is this what you meant..?? Constantly having to worry about being attacked??? He wondered if this was the exact reason why Sanemi was on suppressants for so long. He knocked on the recovery rooms' doorframe and waited to see if Zenitsu would be willing to let him in. "Zenitsu?" "Come in.." The black haired alpha carefully walked over and pulled up a chair. "How's he doing?" "He's sleeping right now..Shinobu said he lost a lot of blood, so he needs time to recover from it.."

"Is he going to be okay..?" Zenitsu nodded as the other alpha sat down. "I don't know how much he'll remember though.." Genya looked down for a minute then looked over at Zenitsu. "..I-Inosuke said that Kaigaku tried to...claim him.." the blonde alpha nodded. "Yeah...he bit Tanjiro..but even if Kaigaku were able to force Tanjiro to claim him back the bond wouldn't last. He'd need to claim me and for me to claim him back to become mates with Tanjiro as well. The bond will fade in a few weeks." Genya gave the other alpha a sympathetic look, all he wanted was for his friends and for Inosuke and Koichi to be okay. "..this is all my fault.." Zenitsu folded his arms up on the bed and put his head down.

"Zenitsu..don't blame yourself for this. This isn't your fault." "Tanjiro and Inosuke wouldn't be hurt if it wasn't for me.." "Zenitsu, you didn't hurt them. It's not your fault!" "Kaigaku wouldn't have attacked them if he wasn't trying to hurt me!" The blonde alpha glared back at Genya with tears in his eyes. "No. Don't you dare blame yourself for that bastard's actions. It's not your damn fault. It's no one's fault but his. It's his fault for being such a pathetic bastard." The brown eyed alpha looked away and wiped his tears. Genya just hopped that the other alpha took his words to heart, no one but Kaigaku was to blame for what happened to Tanjiro and Inosuke.

Chapter Text

On January 19th, 1926, a loud cry was the first thing Sanemi heard when his pup was born, then Shinobu cheerfully expressing. "It's a boy!" After that the tiny pup was placed on his mother's now bare chest. His soft pink skin, tiny white hairs, and his little nose sniffing around, getting familiar with his scent and looking for milk all endeared the baby to his mother. Though Gyomei wanted to hold his son as well he knew it would be for the best to give Sanemi and the pup some time alone so him and Shinobu left the room fot a bit. "Kazuya, my little Kazuya." The white haired omega smiled lovingly down at his son as the newborn began to nurse from him, Sanemi felt calmer having his baby in his arms.

But, a part of him felt worried and ashamed at that, he knew it was just the hormones and effects of the birth messing with him, but some part of him felt guilty for sharing his love for Tsubasa and Shinya with Kazuya. Would they be jealous? Would they not like Kazuya? Would they not want him around? Would Sanemi not be able to give all of his pups the affection, attention, and care that they needed? The lavender eyed omega shook his head, he knew better than to let those thoughts affect his love for his children, he'd helped raise his six siblings and his twins before this without having trouble sharing his love for them, he could do this. Three pups, it really started to sink in, he now had three pups.

Sanemi couldn't help but chuckle a small bit at that, if you'd have asked Sanemi four years ago if he would ever consider having pups he would have stabbed you and claimed not to be an omega. But now, here he was just having given birth to his third baby, he was married now, and he finally had a relationship with his brother again. It all seemed to unreal all of a sudden, he had felt the same exact way when he had first found out he was pregnant with the twins and when he first gave birth as well. The wind hashira smiled and kissed his baby on his head, he could wipe his mouth clean later, he wanted to show Kazuya how much his mother loved him.

He knew he'd love his new baby boy, that he'd still be able to be a good mother to the twins, and that they'd be good big brothers. He just hopped they didn't end up like him and Genya one day. Sanemi gently pet the newborn as he nursed and watched him with all the warmth and love he had to give, none of that mattered right now not when him and Kazuya were bonding for the first time. The albino omega scented his pup so that he'd smell like him as well as so Kazuya would begin to recognize him as his mother. Smelling like the white haired omega would definitely help with the integration progress of the new pup as well when it came time for him to meet his siblings too.

Kazuya was a bit smaller than what his brothers were when they were born, so Sanemi was rather thankful for that since both Tsubasa and Shinya were big at birth. The white haired omega's heart melted after he went to pet Kazuya again and the pup grabbed hold of one of his fingers with his tiny hand. The brown eyed newborn looked up as his mother for a second before he moved over to the omega's other breast for more milk. "Hungry little thing, aren't you?" Sanemi chuckled a small bit as he watched the pup begin to nurse again. After a short while the tiny pup fell asleep against his mother's chest, the white haired omega felt content holding his newborn so close.

The two were left alone for about an hour before Shinobu and Gyomei came back into the room, Kazuya got a little fussy when the purple eyed alpha had to pick him up to get him cleaned up. Gyomei helped his mate get cleaned while they waited for Shinobu to be done with the checkups needed for their newborn. Sanemi yawned, his exhaustion finally caching up to him, the black haired alpha smiled and kissed him on the head. "You did such a good job, Sane." The albino omega purred at his mate's affection, all he wanted was to have all three of his pups in his arms. Shinya and Tsubasa were currently both staying with Genya and Inosuke in a different room in the butterfly estate though.

Gyomei removed his haori and gently placed it over his lover's shoulders after helping him get changed into a clean yukata. The white haired omega deeply appreciated having his mate's help getting clean, he didn't think he had much strength left in him anyways. As the omega leaned back against the cot he felt his body beginning to ache once more. "Gyo, did you go check up on the pups?" "Yes, they're doing well, but Genya and Inosuke could use some help keeping them distracted." The lavender eyed hashira laughed a little at the idea of his sons overwhelming two demon slayers on their own.

"Do you think they'll be okay with Kazuya?" The stone hashira lovingly kissed his husband's forehead and smiled down at him. "I'm sure they'll love their baby brother." "I hope you're right.." Gyomei comforted his mate and smiled as Shinobu came back into the room. The female alpha was carrying a grumpy Kazuya over to his parents, the little pup was now swaddled in a soft green blanket. Thankfully the baby calmed down once he was back in his mother's arms, he curiously looked up at Gyomei and cooed at him. The blind alpha smiled and carefully reached his hand out to the pup, Kazuya squirmed a bit as he freed one of his hands to grab onto one of Gyomei's fingers.

While Gyomei and Sanemi were spending time with Kazuya, Genya and Inosuke were busy keeping track of the twins. Tsubasa had been getting into almost anything he could find, while Shinya was busy trying to escape so he could go see his mother. Inosuke scooped up the black haired pup and did his best to hold onto him while Genya tried to wrangle in Tsubasa. The green eyed omega carried Shinya over to the bed and set him down before sitting right next to him, the two watched as Genya and Tsubasa ran around the room. The two ended up just playing tag since the black haired alpha gave up on catching his nephew, it'd be better to just let him tire himself out.

Shinya looked up at Inosuke for a bit before curling up against him, he really wished he could see his mom, but he was smart enough not to cause the pregnant omega too much trouble. The omega smiled down at the brown eyed pup and handed his mask over to him. The black haired pup eagerly took the mask from him and began playing with its ears. Inosuke let his guard down for a moment, he felt safe in the butterfly estate there were lots of people there who could protect him, but a part of him was frightened about going back to the water estate, what if Kaigaku came back? What if he tried to claim it as his territory? It was technically still Giyuu's estate, but did that even matter if he had no respect for omegas?

What if he came back after Inosuke's baby was born and tried harming Koichi? Two little hands shaking his arm were what brought the green eyed omega out of his spiraling thoughts. "Inosuke?" The black haired omega looked down at Shinya and let out a small sigh, he brought the boy into his arms and did his best to not think about the events of the previous night. Genya made his way over to his boyfriend after picking up on the omega's scent souring. "Ino, is everything okay?" He gave the omega a concerned look as he sat down next to him. Tsubasa's attention quickly went from playing to seeing what his brother and uncle we focusing on.

"..Just worried about going home..." Inosuke deeply hated feeling like he couldn't return to the place he once felt the safest in. Genya gave his lover a sympathetic look as he pulled the him into his arms. "It's gonna be okay, I promise. The hashira will make sure that bastard doesn't hurt you or Tanjiro again." The green eyed omega stayed quiet, he wanted to believe his boyfriend's words, he really did. A knock at the door made the pregnant omega jump a bit, but once the door opened all of Inosuke's fears felt so small. Tanjiro smiled warmly at the other omega, Zenitsu was at his side trying to get his mate to go back to resting. Inosuke carefully moved Shinya aside and made his way over to the younger omega.

The burgundy haired slayer smiled as the older omega pulled him into his arms. "Be gentle with him, you brute." The blonde huffed at the green eyed omega, but he knew there was no point in even trying. Tanjiro was as stubborn as his head was hard and Inosuke was quite literally as stubborn as a boar. He'd never admit it to anyone other than his mate, but it was one of the things that drew him to the red eyed omega. The green eyed omega carefully looked over the matriarch's injuries and whined a bit seeing how hurt he was. A broken arm, a neck wound, and a few stab wounds to the side, he shouldn't even be up right now, which for once Inosuke agreed with Zenitsu. "You need to lie down."

"Inosuke, I'm fi-" before he could finish his sentence the pregnant omega grabbed him by his good wrist and dragged him over to the bed to rest. Genya moved the pups out of the way so that the two omegas would have enough room while Inosuke carefully integrated the burgundy haired omega into his nest. Zenitsu made his way over, closing the door gently behind him, and patting each of the pups on the head before sitting down next to Genya's legs. Tanjiro gave up and allowed himself to be made comfortable in the green eyed slayer's nest. He knew he should be in his own bed resting, but his instincts drove him to make sure all of his pack was okay, Inosuke was basically his pup after all.

"I don't think Shinobu's gonna be too happy with you when she finds you in here instead of your own room." Genya chuckled a bit as he watched Inosuke cover the younger omega in blankets. "I'm sure she'll understand." Tanjiro kindly responded, he yawned a small bit, he hadn't really realized just how tired he was. Zenitsu handed Inosuke his haori and watched as he immediately wrapped it around Tanjiro. "Rest." The black haired omega let out a little huff at the red eyed omega, Tanjiro had done so much for Inosuke so he felt that it was his turn to take care of him. The red eyed omega gave him a reassuring look, he decided to no longer fight back, and allowed himself to take a break.

The two pups curled up in the makeshift nest next to the red eyed omega and yawned as they fell asleep. Tanjiro smiled at the two pups and generously shared the blankets with them, once Tsubasa and Shinya were fully asleep Genya decided to speak up. "Tanjiro..how have you been?" "Oh, I'm fine. I've had worse injuries before-" "That's not what I meant.." The red eyed omega took a breath in, he knew he should talk about how he was feeling and that it would be good to get it all out. "Honestly...I'm more angry than anything else..Kaigaku's tried his damndest to ruin everything, but if I know that he'll only win if I let him. So I'm not going to let him have satisfaction of breaking me."

Tanjiro had a strong look of determination in his eyes, Zenitsu recognized it as the same look that filled the omega's eyes whenever he talked about defeating Muzan or curing Nezuko. "I won't let him hurt me or any one I love ever again." As Inosuke heard the red eyed omega's words he felt a sense of strength return to him. I-if Tanjiro's able to move through this..maybe I can too. The green eyed omega smiled at his pack matriarch, he deeply respected the other omega's strength. Zenitsu stood up and looked his mate in his eyes. "Tanjiro, if you're going to show that bastard what for, you'll need all your strength. So promise me you'll actually rest and recover properly this time?"

Tanjiro's gaze softened as he met his husband's, and nodded, Genya smiled at his friend's determination and he hoped it could help Inosuke too. Inosuke curled up against the other omega he always felt safer next to him and Tanjiro's resilience had started giving him hope for recovery. For the two omegas of the Kamaboko pack their physical wounds did not match their mental wounds. The red eyed matriarch was in worse shape than his green eyed friend, but his injuries only served to strengthen his determination to protect himself and his pack. While Inosuke got away with only a couple bad cuts, bruises, and a terrible bite on his arm, normally he'd feel the same as Tanjiro, but now he had to worry about more than just himself.

He had his baby to worry about now and it was his job as Koichi's mother to keep him safe before and after he's born. Inosuke deeply wished that he could help Tanjiro get back at Kaigaku, but he knew he wouldn't be able to do anything for a while. Genya placed his hand on his boyfriend's and gave him a reassuring look and it was all the green eyed omega needed. He wasn't alone, he had his pack to keep him safe, he had his boyfriend to keep him safe, and he even had some of the hashira looking out for them now. He'd be okay, they'd catch Kaigaku, they'd get back at him, and he'd never hurt his baby or anyone he loved ever again. Inosuke would need time to feel strong again, but he was on his way to getting his full strength back.

Three hours later Shinobu entered the room to let them know that Sanemi was ready for visitors, but upon seeing Tanjiro there as well she of course wasn't happy that he hadn't listened to the bed rest order. After chewing the red eyed omega out for disobeying her she allowed them to go see Sanemi. As they entered the white haired omega's recovery room the twins immediately made their way over to their mother. The albino omega smiled at the two pups and carefully angled his arms so they could see. "This is your new brother, Kazuya." Shinya seemed to be more hesitant about his new sibling while Tsubasa was immediately intrigued.

Gyomei picked the twins up and set them down on the bed next to their mother so they could get a better look at Kazuya without Sanemi having to do too much. Tsubasa tilted his head as he looked at his baby brother, then his parents, and back at Kazuya again. "He's small." The white haired omega laughed a bit as he smiled down at them. "He'll get bigger, don't worry. You'll be able to play with him when he's old enough to." "Really!?" That was all the lavender eyed pup needed to hear to take a liking to the new addition to their family. Shinya eyed his new sibling curiously, but after seeing Tsubasa excited about their new brother he stopped being so stand off-ish.

Genya waited for the two pups to get to know their brother before approaching with Inosuke close behind. "How're you feeling, Nemi?" "Tired as hell." The white haired omega kept his usual attitude towards him which told the younger Shinazugawa brother that the albino omega was okay. Inosuke's gaze landed souly on the baby, he'd never seen pups smaller than Tsubasa and Shinya, and it made him start to wonder about his own baby. He absentmindedly placed a hand on his stomach as thoughts of what it'd be like for him to hold his Koichi for the first time filled his head. What exactly would he feel? Would he instantly love his son? Would he feel proud? Or would he be too tired to feel anything?

"Do you want to hold him?" Inosuke snapped out of his thoughts at the other omega's words, hold him? He didn't even know how to, but it was something he was definitely going to need to learn if he was going to be a mother. The green eyed omega hesitantly nodded, and with that Sanemi handed Kazuya over to his husband, the blind alpha then carefully helped the pregnant omega hold the baby, and making sure that he was holding him correctly. It was such a strange feeling for Inosuke, he'd never held something so tiny and fragile before, and he was definitely terrified of accidentally dropping him. But the tiny baby in his arms had absolutely no fear, he looked up at the black haired omega with nothing but curiosity in his eyes.

Inosuke felt his heart warm up at that small, but simple sight, he began to wonder just a little bit more about what he'd feel when it was his baby in his arms instead of someone else's. For Genya it was a surreal sight seeing his boyfriend holding a baby, sure it was his nephew, but still it made him think about their unborn son, and solidified the reality of becoming a father. Each day the violet eyed alpha's fears of becoming a father had disappeared little by little, and  today a lot of that fear dissipated. Inosuke watched as Genya carefully took his nephew from him and gently held Kazuya in his arms. "Hey there, little guy." He smiled down at his nephew and laughed a little as the tiny pup reached out for the his hair.

After holding his nephew for a bit Genya heard a low growl coming from Sanemi, looking up he noticed that Tanjiro and Zenitsu had stepped a bit closer to get a better look. But the two backed off and respected the mother's boundaries with them as the violet eyed alpha gave the baby back to Sanemi. The white haired omega calmed down and stopped growling as soon as Kazuya was back in his arms. Tanjiro didn't mind since he wouldn't be able to hold the baby anyways due to his broken arm and Zenitsu was just plain terrified of the wind hashira. The albino omega made himself a bit more comfortable as he laid in the hospital bed, feeling content having all three of his pups with him.

The four teenagers eventually left the room to give the two hashira some time alone with their three pups. As they made their way down to Tanjiro's recovery room Inosuke held onto Genya's arm. As the green eyed omega looked up at his boyfriend he started to daydream about his life with the alpha after their baby was born, what would Koichi look like? Would be be small like Inosuke or big like Genya? What color would his eyes be? The black haired alpha noticed his partner staring at him and simply smiled as he placed a kiss on his forehead. Wanting more affection, the pregnant omega tugged on his boyfriend's arm until the older slayer scooped him up into his arms.

While on his way back to Inosuke's room Genya came across Zenitsu preparing to leave the butterfly estate. "Are you going on a mission?" The blonde alpha shook his head, but didn't look back at him. "..I'm heading back to the water estate, Kyojuro, Giyuu, and Uzui went in a few days ago to help clean up while we were gone, but I just wanna make sure the place is comfortable for Tanjiro and Inosuke's return." Genya gave him a concerned look. "..you sure you're ready to go back there?" "It doesn't really matter if I am or not.." the blonde alpha said as he stood up once his boots were on right. "I'll go with you then." The brown eyed alpha looked back at him with nothing but gratitude in his eyes.

Zenitsu waited for Genya to get ready to leave for about five minutes before the two set off. Although there was less snow on the ground the temperature outside was still rather cold so both alphas appreciated the fact that their uniforms kept them relatively warm as they traveled to the water estate. Upon their arrival they were both met with a feeling of dread. The attack had been just six days ago, but it still felt so fresh in their minds, the memories seeing of Tanjiro and Inosuke on the floor covered in blood haunted them as they laid eyes on the water estate. Zenitsu was the first to pass through the gates and head inside.

As he made his way into the building he could smell nothing but the sterile scent of of whatever supplies were used to clean up the blood. Thankfully it didn't smell anything like Kaigaku, but his sense of smell wasn't nearly as strong as Tanjiro's so he wasn't completely sure if there really was any lingering scent or not. Genya followed close behind Zenitsu, but kept his distance in case the other alpha needed some space. The prime alpha made his way to his and Tanjiro's room, he needed to make sure there was no sign of the rogue alpha in the place where his mate had felt the safest. Once he entered the room he could see that the blood had all been cleaned, the blankets and futons were folded up neatly on a dresser.

He couldn't pick up on any signs of Kaigaku's scent, the broken furniture had already been replaced, as well as the lock on the shoji door that lead to the engawa outside of their room. He could faintly smell the scent of the three hashira who had helped get the estate clean which was somewhat reassuring to him. The blonde was deeply thankful that their mentors had gone through the trouble to make sure there wasn't anything that could stress the two omegas out upon their return home. Zenitsu grabbed the futon him and his mate slept on and scented it, he did the same with the rest of the blankets, pillows, and then lit an incense stick to help aid in making their room smell like home.

Genya quietly watched him from the doorway for a bit before making his way to Inosuke's room. The green eyed omega's room had also been cleaned, he could tell by the scent left behind that Giyuu had been the one to handle his room. Omega's were always picky about what scents were near their nests, especially pregnant ones and ones with pups so it made sense that it would be best if an omega did the cleaning for his room instead. The black haired alpha remembered how Inosuke liked to keep his nest, so he carefully rebuilt it and lightly scented it so his omega would have something comfortable to come back to.

He wasn't sure how the two would feel when they got home, but the least they could do was be there for them in anyway they needed. The two omegas would be allowed to come home by the end of the week, but it didn't seem like either of them were too keen on returning. Despite what Tanjiro had said they all knew that some part of the omega was anxious about returning, but who could blame him? He was attacked in his home, the one place he was supposed to be guaranteed to be safe. Unfortunately that anxiety had passed onto Inosuke too, Genya sighed as he placed the last blanket into the nest, the best thing he could do now was go back to the butterfly estate and stay by Inosuke's side until he was ready to come home.

An hour later him and Zenitsu returned to the butterfly estate, once again walking in silence. There was no need for words as they walked, Genya was too busy thinking about what his next decision would be. But before the taller alpha let his mind wander too far on his plans for his and Inosuke's future he remembered that whatever he wanted depended on Inosuke's pack as well. Since at the end of the day he still wasn't an official member of the Kamaboko pack so any decisions he made would have to be approved by Tanjiro and Zenitsu first. And what Genya was considering was definitely a big change that he wasn't sure if Inosuke and or pack was ready for yet.

So the black haired alpha stopped those thoughts before they developed any details and before they got his hopes up. After getting back to the butterfly estate Genya said his goodbyes to Zenitsu before going back to his and Inosuke's temporary room. The green eyed omega had been curled up in the nest he built waiting for his boyfriend to come back the whole time. The violet eyed alpha smiled softly and carefully joined him in the nest, the pregnant omega immediately pulled him into his arms upon noticing him. Inosuke purred as he scented the alpha and in return Genya scented his lover back.

"You doing okay, Ino? Sorry I was gone for so long." The alpha said while placing kisses generously all over his lover's face. "I'm okay, just a little sleepy right now." "Get some rest then." Genya pulled a blanket over his omega and kissed him on the forehead. "Genya? Can I ask you a question?" He nodded in response and waited for Inosuke to ask his him whatever was on his mind. "Do you ever think about what Koichi's gonna look like?" "Hm, sometimes, but I guess I think more about how we're gonna raise him and how we're take care of him." The black haired omega nodded along with his boyfriend's words. "Do you think...do you think I'll be a good mom?" Genya smiled "You'll be the best."

Sure enough by the end of the week Tanjiro and Inosuke were cleared to return to the water estate, the burgundy haired omega also being cleared from any missions until his broken arm and wounds fully healed. Thankfully upon arrival to the water estate neither of the omegas picked up on any lingering scents left by the rogue alpha who attacked them. The first night back in the water estate was rather uncomfortable for all of them, Nezuko stayed outside of her box and kept herself awake until the sun rose in the morning. The demon girl had stayed by her brother's side the whole night as he slept, but the burgundy haired omega ended up mostly having a restless night filled with nightmares despite his sister's efforts to comfort him.

Zenitsu had remained vigilant during the night, though he was asleep the blonde alpha stayed on high alert as his mate slept. The blonde alpha sat by the shoji door the whole night with his sword ready in case he needed to fend off an attacker. Inosuke on the other hand tried to stay awake as long as possible which lead to Genya having to use his scent to help him sleep. The black haired alpha had also reminded him that he needed his rest not just for himself, but also for Koichi. As much as the violet eyed alpha wished the omega would prioritize sleep for himself he knew that the only thing that could really convince him was doing it for their pup. Genya ended up being proven right since the pregnant ended up sleeping like a log the whole night.

In the morning the four had met up in the kitchen, each of them having had various degrees of rest the previous night. Tanjiro being too tired to cook instead curled up in the corner of the dining room with Inosuke while the two alphas prepared breakfast. The burgundy haired omega stayed quiet, which concerned Inosuke since Tanjiro would normally be asking everyone how they slept or how they were doing. But right now the red eyed omega just looked out of it, too tired to even smile, the rest of them guessed he had a rather rough night. Zenitsu said not to bother him too much since Tanjiro didn't even have the energy to greet his mate upon waking up.

Inosuke looked up at the taller omega and frowned, something had to be wrong for the burgundy haired omega to be feeling so miserable. The black haired omega's attention shifted to the alphas after hearing the blonde leaving the kitchen and walk away. Moments later Zenitsu entered the room followed by two others. "Tanjiro, look who's here to see you." The brown eyed alpha's voice was gentle so it didn't spook his mate. The burgundy haired omega looked up and gave a small somewhat forced smile as he saw Giyuu and Kyojuro standing behind Zenitsu. The older black haired omega gently smiled back at his younger brother as he made his way over to the other two omegas.

"We came to see how you were all doing!" Kyojuro's voice was as it always was, too loud for the morning, but it wasn't his fault since the alpha had always struggled with volume control even before he became hard of hearing. As soon as the water hashira sat down next to the two younger omegas Tanjiro brought his brother into a hug. Kyojuro sat down near them, but made sure to give them space in case Tanjiro or Inosuke didn't want an alpha near them. Giyuu allowed his younger brother to focus on his scent as he removed his haori and placed it over his shoulders. Zenitsu sighed and left to go back to helping Genya with breakfast.

As the black haired alpha waited for the rice water to boil his mind began wandering, mostly to thoughts about his boyfriend and unborn son, but also thoughts of the rogue alpha who aimed to take them away from him. He briefly thought about taking Inosuke with him and having him move in with him at the wind or stone estate, but he refused to entertain that idea any further. Genya felt no need to give that it a second thought, he didn't want to separate his boyfriend from his family. Not only would that damage the trust Inosuke had in him, but it would also damage the trust he had built with rest of the Kamaboko pack. Worst of all it felt like something his father would do, it was something his father had done, it's what his mother went through.

Genya shook his head, the other ideas he had were much better even if they'd take longer, Inosuke's trust and comfort with him mattered more to Genya than his own desire to have him by his side. The violet eyed alpha accepted the fact that he'd have to earn his right to be a member of the Kamaboko pack and earn the right to be Inosuke's mate should he want him to be. Genya sighed and as he noticed Zenitsu coming back into the room he nodded to the prime alpha in recognition. Over the past few days the two had become much closer as friends, the blonde completely stopped being so overprotective of his pack when it came to Genya.

And the black haired alpha had stopped judging the blonde so much, there would always be some level of judgment since it was Zenitsu, but it would no longer be as harsh. The hyacinth alpha sighed, he knew that no amount of daydreaming was going to change whether or not he was a member of their pack, and it was something he needed to bring up to the  Kamaboko packs' lead pair. But once again Genya's social anxiety prevented him from doing so, he didn't know how to even start that conversation, nor did he know when would be the right time to do so. Right now felt rude and insensitive to ask Tanjiro or his mate to join their pack right after being attacked by a rogue alpha who wanted to ruin everything they built together.

Before he knew it breakfast was ready, and just seeing Inosuke's eyes light up at just once was all Genya needed. He smiled softly at him as he sat down next to him, handing him his plate. Tanjiro seemed to be a bit better as well which reassured his loved ones, especially when he regained enough mental energy to speak in order to thank his mate and friend for taking care of things for him before beginning to eat. Kyojuro's joyful attitude thankfully aided in helping lift his tsuguko's spirit bit by bit as well. Inosuke leaned against his boyfriend as he enjoyed his breakfast with a smile on his face. I don't care how long it takes, I'll be there for him regardless of what I need to do. Genya promised himself as he wrapped an arm around him.

Chapter Text

Inosuke had spent the entire day with Sanemi learning how to take care of a baby. The white haired omega had been trying to teach him things he would need to know, but things weren't going too well for the most part. Inosuke did his best, but he kept making mistake after mistake which made him feel severely disappointed in himself. No matter how hard he tried he just couldn't follow Sanemi's instructions perfectly. Kazuya was thankfully a good sport about the whole ordeal, not really putting up a fuss when his mom needed to show Inosuke how to do something and when the younger omega messed up.

The white haired pup couldn't care less, honestly, as long as he had at least one of his parents' attention on him he was fine. Unfortunately though feeding him did get rather messy and poor Inosuke had been the one holding Kazuya when the two week old pup ended up having some spit up. Sanemi quickly cleaned it up and explained to the concerned omega that it was just a normal part of taking care of a baby. The older omega showed him what to do afterwards and helped him get cleaned up before taking Kazuya back to his crib for his third nap of the day. Feeling dejected the pregnant omega went outside after changing into clean clothes, he was done embarrassing himself for the day.

Inosuke knew he needed to learn how to take care of a baby in order to be a mom, but he definitely wasn't expecting how stressful and gross it could be. A few moments later Sanemi handed the younger omega a cup of ginger tea as he sat down next to him on the engawa. "Don't say I didn't warn you about how hard being a mom is." The white haired omega sighed as he sipped his own cup of tea. Inosuke shook his head, he definitely wasn't thrilled about having to clean up after a pup, but the idea of what it entailed didn't change how much he already loved his baby boy. As to how the older omega was unfazed by all that had happened just a few minutes earlier, Inosuke could only guess that it came with experience.

The green eyed omega let out another sigh, he wanted to be prepared for when his baby came, but he was starting to feel like he wasn't up to the task. That new feeling that truly frightened him, he didn't want to think that he had made the wrong choice keeping Koichi, but that fear was becoming too uncomfortable to ignore. ..Did my parents feel the same way about me?? Is..is that why they didn't even bother raising me..? What if I can't be a good mom for him? What if I already messed up his life before it's even bega- A quick flick to the nose was all it took to drag Inosuke out of his spiraling thoughts, he looked over at Sanemi in confusion. "I know that look. You're spiraling about something. What is it?"

The black haired omega looked down at his lap and fiddled with his hands a bit, he was never good with words or admitting to weakness especially in front of someone he looked up to. The albino omega beside him thankfully had half the patience he needed for the other omega to finally speak. "I'm..worried...that I won't be a good enough mom for Koichi..I'm not really good at anything you're trying to teach me." Sanemi gave him a blank look which made Inosuke feel like he said something wrong until the wind hashira sighed. "Is that all? Look, kid, no one's a perfect mom. Definitely not me. You know how many times I messed up with the twins? How many times I still mess up? You're still learning. So dont expect to be perfect right out the gate."

Inosuke felt a small bit of comfort in the older omega's words, it was all reassuring for him to hear. "Messing up is a part of life, it's what you do after you mess up that's important. And besides you're not gonna be the best at everything on your first try, or your second try, or maybe even your third try, what's important is that you keep trying and that's all Koichi needs for you to do, put in effort. You still got time and besides you've only been at this for half a week, so don't worry too much, okay?" "Okay.." As Inosuke leaned against the older omega Sanemi patted him on the head, but didn't offer any more words of comfort. The green eyed omega perked up a bit after catching the scent of someone unfamiliar.

Looking over to the older slayer Inosuke tried to gauge his reaction to the unfamiliar scent, but to his surprise Sanemi didn't seem alarmed at all. A young alpha approached the two omegas sitting on the engawa, he looked like he was around Inosuke's age, and judging by the wind hashira's lack of a reaction to him they probably knew each other. "If you're looking for Genya he's not here right now, he's on a mission." The teal eyed alpha nodded a bit then turned his attention to Inosuke. "Who's he?" His voice was quiet and sounded rather smooth. "This is Genya's boyfriend, Inosuke." The albino omega casually answered the younger slayer, judging by the golden buttons on his uniform Inosuke was able to determine that this alpha was a hashira.

The black haired alpha walked closer to get a better look at Inosuke which made the green eyed omega growl a small bit as the younger hashira got closer. Inosuke protectively guarded his stomach. "Tokito, give him some space." Muichiro looked at Sanemi before backing up a bit, much to the pregnant omega's relief. A loud cry from inside the wind estate made the white haired omega sigh as he stood up. "I'll go check on Kazuya. You two better not get into trouble." The albino omega went back inside leaving the two younger slayers. Inosuke wasn't sure if he could trust Muichiro or not, but he trusted Sanemi's judgment so if he wasn't alarmed by him or on guard maybe he didn't have to be either.

"So..why were you looking for looking for Genya?" "I was going to ask if he could train with me since Tanjiro's not able to. But since he's not here I guess I'll have to ask someone else." The black haired alpha quietly wondered to himself who he could train with instead of Genya. Normally Inosuke would have jumped at the chance to test his strength against someone as strong as a hashira, but with Koichi on the way it just wasn't worth it. "Good luck with that, I guess." The pregnant omega stood up and stretched a bit before turning on his heels to head inside. "By any chance, do you know when he'll be back?" The mist hashira looked back at Inosuke expecting an answer.

The shorter slayer shook his head in response, even if he knew when Genya would return he'd rather keep that information to himself just so he could spend time with his alpha instead. "Nope." Muichiro looked rather disappointed the black haired alpha had been bored the whole day so when a new idea popped into his head he decided to act on it. "By any chance, do you know how to make paper darts?" Although a simple question it still managed to peek the omega's curiosity. "Eeh? What are those?" He tilted his head as he looked back at the mist hashira. "Go grab some paper and I'll show you." Inosuke nodded before heading inside to find some paper.

A few minutes later the pregnant slayer came back outside with a few sheets of paper. "Will this do? Sanomi said to use 'origami' paper or something like that." He said as he handed the paper over to the mist hashira. Muichiro took the paper from Inosuke's hands and looked it over before nodding. "Yep, this will do. Hm, we should probably head over to the training grounds, it'll have more space to wotk with." The two made their way to their destination before sitting down on a bench that was placed the edge of the field. Thanks to Gyomei's hard work the training grounds had almost no snow on the ground. Muichiro sat down next to Inosuke and took one sheet of paper out of the stack.

"Now pay close attention." The black haired alpha smiled as he began to show the other demon slayer how to fold the paper into a dart. The green eyed omega attentively watched the younger alpha carefully fold the wings of the paper dart. Inosuke tilted his head as the teal eyed alpha held up the paper dart with a smile. "Now you try." Muichiro said as he handed a sheet of paper over to him. The black haired omega took the paper sheet and did his best to copy the folds that Muichiro made. Upon finishing Inosuke smiled as he held up his own paper dart, it was messy and had uneven wings, but it a was his paper dart nonetheless.

The mist hashira tried his best to hold back his laughter at the sight of the omega's paper dart. "Alright then, now next we throw them and see how far they go." As Muichiro stood up Inosuke watched as he held his dart up the sky, adjusted his aim, and threw it. The two watched the paper dart soar through the sky. Excitedly, the green eyed omega then threw his paper dart into the air expecting it to soar as well. His enthusiasm soon turned to disappointment as his paper dart only flew a few inches away and fell straight to the ground. "Huh?!? I threw it just like you did! How come it didn't go as far?!?" The older slayer looked back at Muichiro demanding an answer.

"I guess you didn't fold it right-" "I folded it exactly how you did!" Inosuke huffed before taking another sheet of paper and folding it just how he did the first one before throwing the second dart into the air. As expected the second paper dart didn't fly far either, feeling dejected Inosuke looked to Muichiro for answers once again. "Here, I'll show you how to do it again." The black haired alpha said as he took a sheet of paper, making sure the omega was paying attention he neatly folded the paper dart slowly so the other slayer could follow his instructions. The pregnant omega took another sheet and reattempted folding his dart exactly like Muichiro's.

Since Inosuke had taken his time he did a bit better with his third paper dart as it had flown a little bit farther, making Inosuke smile again. He looked to Muichiro with a proud expression on his face, it wasn't much, but any sort of improvement was enough to bring the omega's spirits up after the day he'd been having. The green eyed omega picked up another sheet and once again made another dart. The two spent the rest of the day folding paper darts and throwing them, Muichiro made sure to pick up the ones he could find before saying goodbye to his new friend and heading back home. Inosuke wayed goodbye before heading inside, he couldn't wait to tell Genya about the new friend he made.

Sure enough when the violet eyed alpha came back home early the next day his boyfriend told him all about his new friend. But much to his confusion Genya didn't seem all too happy hearing how some alpha spent time with his omega. If anything the older alpha seemed kind of jealous of his new friend, that jealousy also confused Genya himself. Wait, Why am I jealous?? He makes a new friend and I act like a stubborn child in response?? Since when do I get jealous over his friends?? Genya quietly racked through his brain for answers for his questions, thankfully Inosuke seemed to have just shrugged it off and went back to folding paper darts.

"What'd you say his name was again?" The black haired alpha said as he looked over his lover's shoulder. Inosuke thought for a bit as he looked back at Genya, a few seconds later he just shrugged and went back to folding paper. "I can't remember, but I think Seneki said his name or something." "We really gotta work on your name memorization skills.." The alpha muttered to himself with a tired sigh, he pulled his omega into his arms, and rested his chin on Inosuke's shoulder. Genya watched as the green eyed slayer held up the completed dart, it was roughly folded and likely wouldn't fly very far, but Inosuke seemed happy with it at least.

The black haired alpha was at least glad his boyfriend had found something to keep him entertained whenever he was alone or had no one to keep him company. Now that I think of it...I don't think I've shared any hobbies with Inosuke...hm, beetle collecting? Hm, no, it's too cold for beetles to be out and he wouldn't be able to spend all day looking for bugs while pregnant anyways. The violet eyed man went through the rest of his hobbies instead. Target practice? No, definitely no. Bonsai care? No, I don't think he'd have the patience for that. C'mon, Genya, there's gotta be something you can do with him!

The black haired alpha just ended up burying his face in the omega's shoulder in defeat, Inosuke didn't seem to mind though, or know what was going on with him. Genya then turned to rubbing his scent gland against Inosuke's as he nuzzled his omega. His boyfriend nuzzled him back as he continued to work on more paper darts, if you asked Genya if Inosuke was getting better at making them he'd be more confused than you. The omega's paper darts varied between really bad and rough, but at least he was having fun with it. "You think they'll fly super far?" Inosuke said as he looking back at his boyfriend. "Maybe if you throw them hard enough- ow." The green eyed omega huffed at him after flicking him in the nose.

Genya simply laughed a little as kissed his boyfriend on his cheek and nuzzled him as an apology. Inosuke finally stopped glaring at him after he felt the alpha had given him the proper amount of affection for a worthy apology. Genya went back to laying his head on his boyfriend's shoulder as he watched him practice folding paper darts. When the green eyed slayer folded up the last sheet of paper he had he looked over to his boyfriend to show him only to realize he had fallen asleep. Inosuke carefully laid the alpha down in the nest so he could sleep, it wasn't often that Genya had time to relax due to all the missions he had been going on so it was important he got rest whenever he could.

The pregnant omega considered laying down with his partner, but decided against it after feeling his stomach growl. Inosuke did his best to leave the bed without waking his boyfriend up then made his way out of the room. He quietly thought about what snacks he wanted as he made his way to the kitchen. The only problem however was that he had no idea how to cook, so unless he could convince Gyomei or Sanemi to make him something he'd be out of luck, and he didn't want to wake Genya up just for a snack. Inosuke decided that he'd just see what was in the pantry and if there wasn't anything he felt like eating he'd just have to wait until lunch since he'd already eaten breakfast a few hours earlier.

Upon entering the kitchen he found Gyomei boiling water in a kettle for some tea. The black haired omega made his way over to him and looked around the alpha to try to see what specific tea he was making. The blind man noticed him immediately and looked down in his direction. "Would you like some tea as well?" "What kind is it?" "Matcha, Kanroji brought some over a few hours ago." Inosuke had never heard of matcha tea before, but the smell definitely reminded him of green tea. "It's safe for me to drink, right?" The stone hashira nodded in response to the omega's question. "I wouldn't have offered it to you if it wasn't."

Gyomei gave him a reassuring smile, Inosuke hadn't really taken much time to get to know the stone hashira like he did with Sanemi so he decided it wouldn't be bad to start doing so. Once the tea was ready the blind hashira carefully poured a cup of tea for the younger slayer and handed him a small plate of tea cakes. Inosuke quietly thanked him before the taller man left the kitchen, he then sat down at the table to enjoy his snacks. I really lucked out this time! Truthfully Inosuke had always been somewhat weary of the stone hashira due to his intimidating stature, he never felt threatened by him, just a little intimidated.

But it wasn't that he'd ever show that on the outside, he had to keep his reputation as the 'King of the Mountains' intact so he couldn't show fear. While he ate he thought about how the tea cakes reminded him of cookies and how he never understood why they were called 'cakes' instead of cookies. The tea had an earthy-grassy taste which he didn't really mind. While enjoying his snack he noticed a crow land outside one of the windows, but much to his own surprise his first instinct wasn't to try to catch it for food but to see why it was there.  He stood up and walked over to the window, as he opened it the bird hopped inside, and crowed at him.

"Kaw! Lord Tokito is has arrived! You should be honored that you have the opportunity to be the one welcome him to the wind estate. Even if he isn't here for you, peasant. Kaw!" Inosuke immediately knew that he wasn't going to like this crow. "Oi, who ya calling 'peasant?' I'm Lord Inosuke! King of the Mountain, you winged rat!!" The crow immediately got angry and started trying to peck at him, the green eyed omega growled aggressively and swatted at the crow. The commotion ended up drawing unwanted attention when Genya made his way into the kitchen with a look of concern on his face. "I heard you scream- oh, it's just Ginko." His voice shifted from panic to annoyance.

It wasn't that he was annoyed with Inosuke, no it was because he was annoyed with the crow and the fact that Muichiro still wasn't able to teach her some manners. He immediately came to his boyfriend's rescue as he shooed the bird away and checked Inosuke over for any serious injuries. The green eyed omega was still growling at the crow completely unready to give up the fight until he was the definitive winner. The alpha knew just what to say to get the bird to leave. "Ginko. You didn't hurt him this time, but if you attack him again I'll tell Muichiro about your terrible behavior. He'd be very disappointed in you." He glared at the crow as the bird seemingly horrified at the idea, quickly flew off, and Genya sighed as she left. 

"I'm going to guess that Muichiro's here." He looked over to the black haired omega after watching the crow dissappear. "Huh?? Who's that??" He said as he tilted his head. "She said some 'Lord Tomiko' was here." "Tokito-" "That's what I said!" The black haired alpha rubbed his eyes then made his way to the wind estate's fromt door to welcome the mist hashira inside. It was clear that the breathless slayer was still tired from being up all night on his mission and all the traveling he had to do. Inosuke followed after him out of pure curiosity, he wanted to see who the owner of such a rude bird could be. Upon reaching the front door the green eyed omega peaked from behind Genya to see who it was.

The black haired alpha opened the door up and calmly greeted the mist hashira, the teal eyed alpha smiled at his friend, and waved at Inosuke when he noticed him in response. Inosuke stepped out from behind his boyfriend as soon as he recognized him. "Oh! I know you!!" "Yes, we met yesterday. I came by wondering if Genya was willing to train with me." The violet eyed alpha yawned, still tried from his nap, and clearly wanting to go back to sleep. "I'm kinda tired right now, so I don't think I'll put up much of a fight." While that was true he also knew that if he helped Muichiro train he'd just end up getting beaten up. "No matter, it's just sparring so nothing serious."

The older alpha looked at the younger teen as if he was asking him if he was serious. "You and I have completely different ideas of what sparring is. And besides, why do you even want to spar with me anyways? I'm not good with a bokken." "Isn't what what friends do?" He tilted his head curiously, it wasn't often that the mist hashira interacted with other's his age. Genya sighed simply sighed in response. "Fine, I'll spar with you. Just don't go too far, okay? I'd like to be able to go through the rest of my day without pain." The taller black haired alpha said as he invited the younger alpha into the wind estate so they could prepare.

Admittedly Inosuke couldn't help but feel a little left out as he followed the two alphas, it had been so long since he'd last trained, he knew it was for a very good reason. But still the green eyed omega wished he could join in on the fun at least since the most he could do was cheer Genya on from the sidelines. That would have to do at least for now and at least until Shinobu said he'd be ready for rehabilitation training after having his pup. As the three made their way into to the training grounds the alphas each picked up a bokken as they headed out into the field. Inosuke found a comfortable place to sit to watch them as the other two stood at opposite ends of the field.

A few seconds later the two charged at one another, their bokken clashing as they blocked each other's attacks as their first moves. Muichiro slid the wooden sword up and away as he dodged the other's next attack before maneuvering himself so he was now behind Genya. The teal eyed hashira kicked the older slayer in the back of his knees causing him to loose his balance. The older alpha having been caught off guard took a second to recover from the hit. He swung his bokken behind himself and managed to actually hit the younger alpha's side. Muichiro jumped away after his next hit before using mist breathing: seventh form to disorientate his opponent.

Genya mentally cursed as he recognized the move from his previous experiences training with the mist hashira. He quickly got back to his feet and did his best to put distance between the two of them. But before he could get to a safe distance the mist hashira cleared the gap between them and landed a blow on his side. The older alpha hissed through his teeth and yelped after receiving a second hit to his right shoulder. He knew it would be almost impossible for him to dodge all of mist hashira's hits, so he did his best to block any oncoming attacks he was able to perceive. Genya had heard about Muichiro's skills from his brother and the serpent hashira so he knew the younger alpha was no joke.

And if he wasn't careful then Muichiro would make him the joke, Genya didn't like that idea in the slightest. Normally the violet eyed alpha didn't care who 'won' or 'lost' a sparring match, but this felt different, personal even. Maybe it was because Inosuke was there or maybe it was something else. Surely it's not jealousy, is it? He refused to accept that he could get jealous of a friend since Inosuke already stated he wasn't interested in other partners, but that still didn't stop the alpha from feeling this way. As he managed to block another hit from the mist hashira he soon realized something, he'd forgotten to get a refill on his rut suppressants last week.

Suddenly everything fell into place, it wasn't that he was actually jealous of Inosuke making new friends or Muichiro, another alpha, being near his omega, but instead it was his possessive and territorial pre-rut instincts making him feel that way. Genya shook his head as he got hit in the leg by Muichiro's bokken. Stay focused, dumbass, you can figure that shit out later. The older alpha had been too busy to make his way over to the butterfly estate, but the fact it slipped his mind so easily somewhat surprised him a little bit. Then again a lot had been happening so it wasn't like taking suppressants for his rut was on the top of his list right now.

From the incident with Kaigaku, to his brother having his third pup, to all the missions, and not having much rest it wasn't like he really had time for anything else. As much as his brain wanted to focus that realization he knew it would just lead to him getting his ass kicked if he didn't pay attention to what was happening in front of him. He managed to dodge another attack and as he swung his bokken at the other alpha Muichiro used his mist breathing again to dissappear from Genya's sight. The mist hashira then sent a powerful blow to the violet eyed alpha's back which knocked him onto the ground. The older alpha quickly rolled over and got to his feet just in time to block another attack.

The violet eyed slayer used all his strength to swing as hard as he could to try and knock the bokken out of the hashira's hands. Before he could land the hit though Muichiro quickly jumped back to avoid his attack. Genya growled as he charged at the mist hashira once more, this time managing to get a good hit in on his left side. The two continued to spar for another 10 minutes before deciding to taking a break. Genya made his way over to his boyfriend and helped him stand as they headed back inside. They made their way over to the kitchen to get some drinks and snacks so the two alphas could recover their energy from training.

It didn't take long for Genya to prepare a small snack and some ginger tea for the three of them. While they were sitting in the dining room Muichiro asked Inosuke about his boar mask which made the omega immediately start talking all about it. The violet eyed alpha sat behind his boyfriend, wrapping his arms around the omega's chest, and resting his chin on his head. Genya didn't want to be so passive aggressive with his possessiveness over his boyfriend, but he couldn't help it, it calmed his instincts. Thankfully the other two didn't mind or notice how the older alpha was acting, they were too busy talking about the mountains they grew up on.

The older slayer couldn't really follow along with where their conversation was going, so he chose to tune it out. A few moments later Sanemi walked in with Kazuya to get Inosuke so he could teach the other omega something. Inosuke stood up, said his goodbyes to the two alphas, and left with the older omega. Genya smiled and waved goodbye to his boyfriend as he left. He continued to stare at the doorway Inosuke disappeared out of for a few minutes. "I just realized something. He's the guy you were telling me about. Which means you got with the one omega you said you couldn't stand." Genya glared back at his friend, Muichiro had a mischievous smirk on his face.

Genya rolled his eyes at him. "Oh shut up." His words had no malice in them, the mist hashira in all actuality was like a younger brother to Genya so it was normal for him to mess with the older alpha. Muichiro simply laughed it off and smiled at his friend. "So what changed between you two? How'd you go from hating him to having a baby with him" The violet eyed alpha shook his head a bit. "That my friend is a long and complicated story." While the two alphas continued talking with each other Inosuke followed Sanemi over to his and Gyomei's room. "It's almost time for Kazuya's nap, so I'll show you how to put a baby down for one."

The albino omega said as he gently handed Kazuya to Inosuke while he grabbed a small cotton blanket to swaddle the pup in. As the hashira turned to look back at Inosuke he looked him directly in the eyes as he spoke. "Now it's very important that you know this. NEVER put a baby down to sleep with a loose blanket. If you need to use a blanket you need to swaddle them. When they get to the age where they start unwrapping themselves on accident or rolling over swaddling can become dangerous. If they're starting to do that you shouldn't swaddle them anymore." Inosuke nodded immediately, whenever the older omega pointed something out specifically it was usually very serious.

The wind hashira then placed the small blanket down on the bed, folded the top corner down, then took Kazuya back, and laid him down on his back. "Now pay attention to how I fold it around him. You wanna make sure that it's secure, but not too tight." The pregnant omega watched attentively as Sanemi showed him how to properly wrap the swaddling blanket around the pup. "A general rule of thumb is that you should be able to comfortably fit two fingers between the baby's chest and the blanket, if it's too tight then you need to redo it. It can hurt them or they can overheat if you leave it too tight." He said as he made the final fold in the blanket, Inosuke made a mental note of his advice.

"You think you're ready to try doing it yourself? Or do you want to see how it's done a few more times?" Normally the younger omega would jump right into doing something himself immediately after being taught it, but that usually ended with him messing something up. This time Inosuke knew that it was important that he get it right, not just because he'd need to know how to do it properly for his son, but also because he didn't want to accidentally hurt Kazuya. The green eyed teen shook his head before giving him his answer. "I think it'd be better if I saw you do it a few more times." "Alright, I'll show you one more time just for now, and a few more times when it's time for his next nap."

Sanemi then undid the swaddle and showed the younger omega how to properly wrap the blanket around the baby once again. He did it slower than the first time so Inosuke could memorize each fold of the blanket. When the albino omega was done he placed Kazuya down in his crib, laying him down on his back, and nodding his head to the other omega to follow him out the room once Kazuya fell asleep. "Here's a bit of advice, while your baby naps it's okay to check on them every 15 to 30 minutes to make sure that they're still doing okay, a nap can be from 30 minutes to three hours. During the night while your sleeping you should check on them and feed them 2 to 3 hours."

"You can go back to spending time with Genya if you want. I'm going to start making lunch so I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything." "Alright." With that the two omegas parted ways, Inosuke making his way back to where his boyfriend and their friend were the last time he saw them, and Sanemi heading to the kitchen. As the green eyed omega headed back to the dining room he heard Tsubasa and Shinya running down the hall, most likely on their way to bug their mom for something. Upon entering the dining room again he noticed Muichiro standing up and getting ready to leave. "Sorry I can't stay much longer, I'm scheduled for patrol." He said as he noticed Inosuke standing in the doorway. 

"Huh? Oh, right, hashira have patrol schedules." Normal demon slayers occasionally went on patrol, but it wasn't something that they had a set schedule for. The hashira on the other hand had a routine schedule where they'd go on patrol in set areas that had recent demon activity or places that were likely to attract demons. It was usually three hashira on patrol duty, three on a mission, and three on standby. But since Tengen retired and Sanemi was on maternity leave it was rare that any of the hashira had time off. As the mist hashira left the room he quietly waved goodbye to them at the doorway then made his way out.

Inosuke then sat down next to his boyfriend and curled up in his arms, but a familiar scent caught his attention. He sat up a bit more as he tried to figure out what was different with Genya's scent. "Are you in your pre-rut?" He said as he tilted his head, he knew that the alpha had been taking suppressants. He had told Inosuke before that he 'didn't want to bother him with a rut every month during the pregnancy.' "Yeah, sorry about that, I ran out of suppressants and haven't had the time to head over to the butterfly estate for more." "Don't apologize. It's just a rut." "But-" "But nothing. It's my job to take care of you while your in rut just like how you take care of me when I'm in heat." The omega gave his partner a reassuring smile as he pulled him into a hug.

Genya allowed himself to be comforted by his boyfriend, he knew Inosuke was right but a part of him still had some anxiety. "Shinobu said it'd be good for you to take a break from the suppressants sometimes anyways." "I guess that's right." He quietly mused as he rested his head on his omega's shoulder. He had to admit, he really did admire his boyfriend. "We still have a few days to prepare so we can ask Shinobu-" "I'll be doing the talking if we go to her for advice." The black haired alpha didn't want a repeat of the last time Inosuke asked her something. Inosuke simply laughed it off though, which reassured Genya that everything would be okay.

Chapter Text

Genya took a deep breath, he'd been worried about his rut the whole week, and as he watched Inosuke carefully build their nest he couldn't help but feel a bit of anxiety. This would be the first rut he'd spend with Inosuke since he got him pregnant and since they became a couple, so he kept pacing. His biggest concern was that he'd accidentally hurt Inosuke or the baby somehow, he'd heard cases where unmated couples went through a rut together while pregnant and the alphas ended up harming their partners. Some had more aggressive breeding instincts, others had no interest in their pregnant partners and tried to leave to find a new one.

In other cases he heard about, the alphas ended up getting so rough and aggressive that their partners miscarried. It all sounded so horrible, Genya didn't want any of those things to happen, Shinobu tried to reassure him that those cases were rare, but he had seen his father act the same way with his mother. It was stories like those that made the violet eyed slayer hate being an alpha, he couldn't help but feel like alphas were just predestined to be terrible to anyone they fell for. But Inosuke didn't seem bothered or scared at all, in fact he had been rubbing up against him all morning, and grooming him like am affectionate cat.

His behavior was so comforting and reassuring that Genya tried to allow himself to relax, but the thought of letting himself go and accidentally hurting his boyfriend and unborn child as a result terrified him. He would never forgive himself if that ever happened, he couldn't bear to think about it any longer. The black haired alpha quietly went back to watching his boyfriend make adjustments to their temporary nest as he paced back and forth, they'd both agreed to spend Genya's rut in their designated cycle room so that if they needed to go to Shinobu for whatever reason, they'd be able to. Inosuke had suggested it to help ease the alpha's anxiety and make him feel a bit more relaxed. 

Not every slayer had a designated cycle room, so it was just one of the perks of being a tsuguko that Genya had. Upon making the final adjustments to the nest Inosuke grabbed his boyfriend's hand and made him lay down. "I wanna cuddle. So get over here, no more pacing for you." The green eyed omega said as he laid next him, curling up in his arms, and nuzzling him. Genya basked in his scent feeling glad that his rut wasn't affecting him too much at the moment so he could enjoy some peace with Inosuke. Shinobu had said that based on his pre-rut instincts around Inosuke they probably wouldn't have too much to worry about other than overly possessive or clingy behavior.

Much to Genya's embarrassment she also said that sex should be relatively safe as long as Genya isn't being too aggressive. Something that she wasn't able to mention the last time they asked her because the alpha had interrupted her out of embarrassment. Upon focusing on the scent of his omega's pregnancy the black haired alpha felt himself becoming more docile. He assumed that his instincts recognized Inosuke as his partner and Koichi as his baby so the urge to breed was probably satiated because of that. The older slayer felt his anxiety slowly dissappear with that realization, slowly but surely let his guard down and relaxed.

The pregnant omega seemed to notice him finally starting to relax because the next thing he did was rub his scent gland against his. Genya didn't know why it made him blush, but it did, he nervously looked away to hide his reddening face to avoid being teased. Inosuke then grabbed his boyfriend's hand and gently placed it onto his growing belly, Genya then turned his attention back to the omega next to him. Inosuke had a soft smile on his face that looked so calm amd serene, it was a little strange for Inosuke to be so calm, but it put Genya at ease. The black haired alpha affectionately kissed his omega, pulled him into his arms as they laid together, and smiled.

As the alpha's rut progressed he felt a different instinct rise in him, an instinct to nest. He didn't really know that was something male alphas could feel so it took him a few seconds to realize that it was that instinct that made him feel so docile in the moment. He really figured it out after he found himself kneading the blankets behind Inosuke when his arms were wrapped around the omega's back. He only recognized it as nesting behavior because Inosuke had done it a few times before, admittedly he mainly did it when the baby was causing some discomfort. But nonetheless it was a sign of nesting instincts kicking in, Sanemi confirmed it when he asked about it a few weeks back.

Genya drew himself out of his thoughts after feeling the blankets underneath him shift in a way he didn't like. Genya sat up, pulled Inosuke into his arms, fixed the blankets a bit, then laid back down with his omega still comfortably in his arms. The green eyed omega seemed a little curious about the older slayer's behavior, but seeing as he was tending to their nest he didn't question it. Normally during one of Genya's ruts he would end up messing the nest up and Inosuke would be the one to put it back together only for the alpha to mess it up again. Of course this was mainly due to bursts of sexual energy where the two would both be equally taken by the natural instinct to breed that heat and rut usually brought.

Although the black haired alpha's instincts to breed had been somewhat subdued the whole day he definitely did notice those instincts whenever his omega did something he thought was cute. Just as Genya thought his instincts wouldn't be a problem they made themselves known once more. He buries his nose in the omega's scent gland and did his best to ignore the dirty thoughts coming into his head, he didn't want to bother Inosuke too much with his rut. The green eyed omega seemed to pick up on this because he started to remove the yukata he had been wearing. He slid one of the sleeves off his shoulder and made Genya look him in the eyes as he continued to remove his yukata.

The violet eyed alpha bit his lip as he watched his partner slowly expose his body to him and felt his instincts coaxing him to become intimate with the omega. Inosuke definitely knew what he was doing and what it was doing to his alpha, he watched as Genya's hungry eyes trailed down his body. The green eyed omega knew that the only way to help his alpha's rut pass sooner rather than later was to give him a gentle nudge in the 'right direction.' If Genya wasn't going to take initiative himself then it would be up to Inosuke to insure his alpha's needs were met. Once his clothing was completely removed he moved to undressing his boyfriend, he pressed his lips against the alpha's, and made eye contact with him when he pulled away.

"Ino.." He gasped out, he hadn't noticed how uncomfortably tight his fundoshi had become until his boyfriend took it off him. Genya blushed as he watched Inosuke moved his legs apart slightly to give his cock a long lick before sliding it into his mouth. The alpha shuttered as his boyfriend began bobbing his head up and down on his cock while using his hands to play with his balls. The green eyed omega was careful about how he laid on the bed so he didn't accidentally put his weight onto his stomach. Inosuke kept his other hand on the alpha's hips, preventing him from bucking into his mouth, Genya let out a desperate whine in response to his boyfriend preventing him from moving. 

Genya growled aggressively at his omega after he stopped him again from bucking his hips into his mouth, but a low growl from Inosuke was enough to make the alpha submit once more to him. The only thing the violet eyed alpha despised more than not being able to pleasure himself during his rut was upsetting his omega. Inosuke was taking charge this time and he either had to submit or go the rest of his cycle without his boyfriend, Genya's decision was extremely easy. As a reward for behaving properly Inosuke rubbed Genya's left thigh with the hand he had been holding his hip with, the alpha groaned in pleasure as he did this.

The violet eyed slayer's breath hitched as his knot started to swell, but just as he was about to find release Inosuke pulled his mouth off of his cock. Genya whined a bit, his cock ached, begging to cum, his whining was quickly silenced as he watched as Inosuke began to sit up. The alpha quickly picked his boyfriend up and pulled him info his lap, the omega gave him a small growl which made Genya submit once more. Once Inosuke was sure the alpha gave control back to him he straddled the alpha's lap and began to rub his cunt against the alpha's hardened dick. Genya felt his instincts telling him to just pin the omega down and slide his cock right inside him

He ignored that urge as best as he could, being inside of his precious boyfriend was something he wanted to earn. He bit his lip, the sight of his omega's pretty pussy rubbing up against his cock was so damn enticing. Inosuke had one of his hands holding onto his shoulder and the other resting on his lap so he could lean back far enough for Genya to see what was happening without his pregnant stomach getting in the way. Though the omega was only four months pregnant his stomach had already grown just enough to get in the way. Genya licked his lips at the sight in front of him, he wanted so badly to just say 'fuck it', pin his lover down, and fuck him, but he knew that his omega wouldn't appreciate that at all.

For his good behavior Genya was rewarded when Inosuke lifted himself onto his knees, lined the head of his dick with the entrance to his vagina, and slid his way onto it. Inosuke bit his lip and groaned as he speared himself open with Genya's cock, thankfully he had prepared himself by stretching himself out beforehand so it wasn't too difficult or uncomfortable to take Genya. Inosuke moaned out as he felt the head of the alpha's cock bump into his g-spot as it made it's way deeper inside him. "Inosuke~" The black haired alpha groaned, feeling the omega's tight pussy finally wrap around his dick felt so damn good after waiting so long for it.

"Are you gonna be a good boy for me?~" Inosuke asked as he was finally seated in the alpha's lap, Genya sputtered for a minute trying to find his words, and with a reddening face he nodded desperately. "Good." As the green eyed omega started to roll his hips into Genya's he wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's neck, kissed him, and played with his hair a bit. The violet eyed slayer groaned into the kiss, he placed one hand on Inosuke's lower back, and the other on his ass while the omega continued to ride him. When Inosuke pulled away from the kiss to place a kiss on the alpha's forehead Genya took the opportunity to kiss his boyfriend's neck.

The alpha whined a bit when the omega in his lap stopped rolling his hips, Inosuke made Genya look him in the eyes for a second before he began sucking on the alpha's neck and nipping as his scent gland. The black haired alpha's breath hitched as he felt him do so, deep down he desperately wanted the omega to sink his teeth into his scent gland and claim him. The feeling of being the submissive one for a change felt strange at first, but seeing Inosuke take control and act more dominant was hot as hell in Genya's opinion. Still, feeling his cock being squeezed inside of the omega pussy with no movement or release of an orgasm was a bit new.

He'd be more open to Inosuke keeping his dick warm like this if it weren't for his rut making him more impatient, he whined and tried to thrust upwards into his boyfriend, but a small glare from Inosuke was enough to make him stop. "I thought you agreed to be a good boy for me~" The omega whispered in his ear as he gave the cock inside of him a tight squeeze. Genya groaned in pleasure as he nodded, if being good for Inosuke was going to bring him more pleasure then he was going to be on his best behavior, well as best as he could. "Good." The black haired omega kissed him on the nose and began to roll his hips again, Genya bit his lip as he felt his boyfriend's cunt slide around his cock.

Inosuke rode Genya for a few minutes before he stopped again, the black haired alpha was about to complain when the omega spoke up. "Wanna k-knot me?~ Ngh, show me how much ya want it.~" And with that the green eyed omega handed full control over to the violet eyed alpha. Genya eagerly laid the omega down onto the bed and started to thrust his hips in and out of him. It felt like a reward to him, based on how much Inosuke was moaning, arching his back, and clawing at his shoulders he was really enjoying it too. Genya kept his eyes closed, he knew that if he saw Inosuke in his current state he wouldn't be able to last long enough for the omega under him to cum as well.

"S-such a good boy!~" The pregnant omega moaned loudly as the violet eyed alpha aimed his cock into his g-spot over and over again. Normally it was Genya calling Inosuke a 'good boy', but perhaps this was the omega's way of getting back at him for every time he messed with him or teased him during sex. Regardless of the reason behind the omega's sudden dominance over him this round was he couldn't care less especially when he got to fuck his pussy as much as he wanted to. Just as Genya felt his knot begin to swell once more he let out a surprised yelp as the black haired omega smacked his ass and gave his cock another squeeze.

The alpha opened his eyes to give his omega a glare, but was met with a mischievous look from Inosuke. Genya groaned and buried his face in the omega's neck as he continued to carve his way through Inosuke's cunt with his dick. "Mnh, Y'er too d-amn..pretty.." He grunted out earning a cute moan in response, Genya then wrapped one of his hands around the omega's cock and began stroking it in sync with his own thrusts. Inosuke let out another loud moan and clawed at the alpha's back as his own pleasure increased. "Mngh!! F-fuck!! Yes!~" The black haired alpha panted as he moved the hand he had on his omega's hip and moved it to Inosuke's chest, the omega let out a yelp as he began playing with one of his nipples.

The pregnant omega's breasts had already started swelling with milk for their pup and were already bigger than what they were a few months ago. As Genya teased the omega's left breast the slayer underneath him shooed his hand away with a whine. "S too ro-uugh.." Genya quickly apologized for the small mistake and kissed his boyfriend's tender breast as another apology. Inosuke whimpered and bit his lip after feeling Genya's knot swelling up and tugging at the folds of his entrance with each push in and each pull out. Genya pressed his lips against Inosuke's and made out with him while he fucked him closer and closer to their orgasms.

Inosuke let out little moans as Genya's cock made a mess of his pussy while the alpha's tongue explored his mouth and played with his tongue. The two soon howled in pleasure as they came together, Inosuke's cunt tightening up around Genya, his cock spurting cum onto his stomach, and the alpha's knot locking them together as he emptied his load into him. The two panted trying to recover from the euphoric high that their joined orgasms brought as Genya pulled away from the kiss. Gazing down at Inosuke the sight in front of him reminded him just how lucky he was to be with him. "S-such a good boy~" Inosuke panted out feeling his energy drain and his cunt fill with semen.

Inosuke's soft pants, a completely fucked out expression on his beautiful face, his hair spread out under his head like a halo, and his quivering pussy still wrapped tightly around his dick. The omega's view was also rather attractive as well, a handsome, strong alpha sitting between his legs, panting as he met his eyes, and sweat glistening off his body. The two shared another kiss before the alpha carefully maneuvered them onto their sides, Genya's rut had been satiated for the time being. The green eyed omega nuzzled his boyfriend and kissed his face affectionately before giving him a few small licks like a cat grooming another's fur.

Genya purred at his boyfriend's affection and praise, normally he'd be the one giving all the affection and praise, but this time was different. This time the scent of Inosuke's pregnancy made him more excited to earn his praise, this felt like a reward for good behavior and he was loving every second of it. The smaller slayer gingerly reached down between his legs where the base of Genya's knot could be felt and slid a finger inside to feel it. A warm blush spread across his face as he brushed his finger against the alpha's knot, he swirled the digit around a bit inside himself before pulling it out again earning a soft moan from Genya in the process. "Wanna taste?~"

The alpha's face reddened as he nodded his head eagerly, Inosuke then brought the finger that was now covered in the results of their intimacy, and held it up to the alpha to taste. The black haired alpha allowed his boyfriend to press the semen covered finger against his lips and let out a small yelp when just as he pressed his tongue against the omega's finger for a simple taste Inosuke kissed him. Genya had no idea how, when, or why his boyfriend got so kinky, but he definitely wasn't complaining, it was just a little sudden for him. He guessed that the scent of his rut was also affecting the pregnant omega and making him hornier as a result.

But either way he couldn't care less, not when he was making out with Inosuke while the omega started rolling his hips again. "You've been so good for me, Genya~" Inosuke moaned against his alpha's lips and wrapped his arms around Genya's neck. Genya groaned and grabbed Inosuke left thigh, hiking the omega's leg over his own, and slowly rolling his hips into Inosuke's. The green eyed omega let out a small laugh as he placed his hand over his belly and smiled a bit. The alpha tilted his head a bit in confusion then the omega smiled at him and answered his unspoken question. "I think Koichi's a bit upset with all the movement."

"Heh, oh, sorry lil' guy." Genya said as he let go of Inosuke's leg in favor of placing his hand on the omega's pregnant belly next to his boyfriend's hand. The two shared an affectionate nuzzle as they abandoned their second round in favor of just cuddling and scenting each other until their unborn child was no longer upset. Genya's rut could wait, they'd have three days to do whatever they wanted anyways since the alpha's rut would hopefully be gone by then. For now the two allowed themselves to rest as their exhaustion finally caught up to them. Genya whined a small bit after he realized how messed up the nest had gotten, but a nuzzle from his omega distracted him from his urge to fix their bedding.

Genya's rut surprisingly lasted only two days, the two guessed that his rut moved quicker since his instinct to breed was mostly satiated by Inosuke's pregnancy. Of course after all was said and done Shinobu gave Inosuke a proper check up to make sure him and the baby were still doing okay and weren't hurt or anything. Much to Genya's relief both Inosuke and Koichi checked out with a clean bill of health, Koichi was also rather active which also aided in relieving his father of his worries. Genya on the other hand had to be treated for a few bad scratches on his back and a few bite marks from Inosuke, the violet eyed alpha was deeply embarrassed the whole time Shinobu patched him up.

And to his horror she even teased him about it as well as suggested that Inosuke start filling his nails to avoid such injuries. As soon as Genya was able to wash the scent of his rut off of himself, made sure that Inosuke was properly bathed, fed, and safely returned to the water estate he made his way home. He figured a few days to himself would do Inosuke some good since he had to deal with Genya's rut making him incredibly clingy and horny for two days straight. The first thing he did when he got home the first thing he did was check on his nephews, but seeing as Tsubasa and Shinya were playing with Gyomei he figured Sanemi was either resting or tending to Kazuya.

And of course he was right, he found Sanemi in his nest peacefully sleeping with Kazuya laying up on his chest sleeping on his back. The black haired alpha quietly closed the door, leaving his brother to rest, raising three pups was probably tough on him so he definitely needed a break. Genya decided that he might as well be useful while he's still living with his mentor and brother by helping them out with the pups. Gyomei greeted his tsuguko upon noticing him entering the room and patted him on the head once the younger alpha sat down next to him. "Welcome home, Genya. Did Inosuke go back to the water estate?" "Yeah, him and Koichi are okay, I just figured he should get some rest and time to himself."

Once the twins realized their uncle had returned home both pups raced over to him and immediately started fighting over who got the first hug. Genya laughed a little as he watched the two squabble over something as simple as a hug, but he quickly put an end to it by picking them both up into a hug. "Big brother!" "Genya!!" Tsubasa and Shinya happily cheered as their older brother figure held them in his arms, they really did enjoy having him around. In all honesty Genya really wanted to stay around for the twins and Kazuya, but he knew that they'd need more space as they grew older and Genya would have to move out eventually. Especially since he and his boyfriend already had a baby on the way.

Moving out was something that Genya had thought of many times since getting together with Inosuke, but only until recently had he really started giving the idea more thought. Although he thought about it he knew that it wasn't as simple as moving in with Inosuke or buying a house to live in with him and the baby, no it was much more complicated than that. On Genya's part it was less so complicated, he needed to have a discussion with Sanemi and Gyomei, pack his things, and move out. At least it sounded simple on paper, it would likely be more emotionally taxing to move away from his brother after rebuilding their bond that had been damaged years ago by their family's' death.

But the problem that came with moving out for Genya was that he had no concrete place he could go since it wasn't like he could just move in with Inosuke at the water estate with no problems at all. Sure he spent the night there sometimes, but sleeping over at the water estate and living at the water estate we're two very different things. Especially when their packs were factored in, he hadn't yet officially brought up joining the Kamaboko pack so he would have to do so before being allowed to move in. And that was only if Tanjiro and Zenitsu agreed to it first at all, sure he was their friend, but at the end of the day he really was just another alpha from another pack.

Packs always unnecessarily complicated things, but him joining the Kamaboko pack was a much easier and more tangible idea than having Inosuke move in with him. Taking Inosuke away from his pack, away from the first real home he ever had, and on top of that adding onto the stress of his pregnancy it all just sounded so hard and so far away. Genya let out a deep sigh as he set his nephews down, he knew he needed to start the conversation with not just Inosuke but both of their packs. He knew his anxiety was starting to get to him at this point and he was probably overthinking things again, but it was incredibly hard for him not to.

But he knew that him and Inosuke couldn't just keep going back and forth between packs forever especially once Koichi was born. They had to make a decision and they were slowly running out of time to do so, but maybe they could start taking the steps to figure out a more stable plan for their new family life together. He knew that the next time he saw Inosuke he would have to bring the topic up to him. Genya just had to think of a way to tell the green eyed omega about his ideas in a way that wouldn't scare him off or make him defensive. He decided that a good distraction for now could just be playing with his nephews since they were right there in front of him.

While Genya spent the rest of his day playing with his nephews and helping out around the house Inosuke spent his remainder of the day rearranging his room. The green eyed omega had decided that it was finally time to stop putting off preparing his room for the arrival of his baby. He knew that it wouldn't be long before he wouldn't be able to do most of the work himself and actually regretted procrastinating the task at hand for so long. The first thing he did was put his futon and the rest of the things he used to build his nest out in the hall so he could have more space to move things around. He needed to make sure he had enough space for  Koichi, Genya, whenever he spent the night, and himself.

He knew he'd need Zenitsu's help to move his furniture so the best he could do on his own was map things out in his head before going to get help. He mentally kicked himself for not thinking about that before starting to attempt rearranging his room. He pinched his nosebridge in self annoyance before leaving his room to go ask Zenitsu for help, he really wished he could ask Tanjiro for help instead of him. It didn't take long for him to find Zenitsu, the prime alpha had been folding laundry when Inosuke found him. The green eyed omega simply grabbed him by the arm and tried to drag him away. "Inosuke?? H-hey what's going on?!" The blonde shrieked the sudden yanking on his arm having spooked him.

"You're gonna help me move stuff in my room to make more room for Koichi. Tanjiro's still healing, Nemuno doesn't understand me, and Genya ain't here so you're helping!" The alpha stared blankly at him for a few seconds before groaning in annoyance and standing up to follow him. "Okay, okay, I help, stop pulling on my arm already! I thought you would've done this a while ago! Wait, don't tell me you don't even have a crib for your pup yet!" Inosuke paused, a crib, he didn't have a crib yet. Of all the things I forgot how did I forget the damn crib?!? That's literally one of the first things Sameni told me about!!! The black haired omega mentally cursed himself out for forgetting, but in his defense a lot had been going on.

Although most parents chose to have their pups sleep in the nest with them Sanemi had told him that if could become dangerous due to all the blankets in the nest. The only reason why Sanemi allowed Kazuya to sometimes sleep in the nest with him was when there weren't any blankets and Gyomei was awake to make sure nothing happened. At night was just too risky since anything could happen without either of the parents knowing. "-Ke? Hey! Inosuke! You there?" Zenitsu snapped his fingers a few times and waved his hand in front of the omega's face to try to get his attention again. The green eyed omega shook his head a bit and nodded. "..spaced out a little.."

"You okay? You kinds just stopped moving after I asked you about a crib, look it's fine for right now. You and Genya can just go buy one together sometime anyways." The black haired omega nodded a bit, but didn't say much else, he was too busy yelling at himself in his head for forgetting something so simple. Zenitsu sighed and patted him on the back to comfort his friend. "Hey, don't beat yourself up over it, okay?" "Okay.." Inosuke shook his head a bit more. Damn hormones...always making me look like a damn weakling. It took a few hours for Inosuke's room to finally be rearranged properly, but thanks to the omega's indecisiveness it took longer than expected to get the job done.

"Okay, next time you feel like moving stuff around, please wait till Genya visits." The blonde alpha said tiredly as he made his way out of Inosuke's room. The green eyed omega nodded, but he was too busy happily rebuilding his nest to really care what the alpha had to say. Zenitsu sighed as he walked off knowing full well that Inosuke likely didn't hear a single word he said. As the pregnant omega finished making his nest he laid down in it, staring up at the ceiling, and began to daydream about his baby. Daydreaming had become a rather common pass time for Inosuke, he'd often imagine holding his son or playing with him as well as what he'd look like.

He knew that no amount of daydreaming could ever compare to the real thing, so he eagerly and nervously awaited the day he could finally hold Koichi in his arms. While Inosuke made himself comfortable in his nest he let out a small sigh, the one thing that could make this moment better would be to have his boyfriend by his side. As Inosuke continued to daydream about his unborn baby he let out a small laugh after the question of who would be more bothered by Koichi's cries popped into his head, him or Zenitsu? He laughed laughed more as he gave that idea more thought, of course any child of Inosuke Hashibira would terrorize Zenitsu. But for now at least that was something they didn't need to worry about.

Chapter Text

Inosuke eagerly watched as Genya moved the crib, that had been made for and gifted to them by Urokodaki, into place. After the retired hashira visited and found out that they didn't have a crib yet he insisted on making them one since the baby was 'basically family' because he'd be a part of Tanjiro's pack too. And according to Urokodaki any member of Tanjiro's pack was a member of his, unless it was Zenitsu, the older beta didn't approve of his son-in-law quite yet. Genya however was concerned about the old man having to drag something as big as a crib down Mount Sagiri, but Tanjiro and Urokodaki insisted that he was perfectly capable of doing so without any trouble.

Urokodaki had chosen to use oakwood to craft Koichi's crib out of since it was common wood that most likely would have grown on the mountain Inosuke grew up on. It was also a strong wood and would be able to last a long time, on both of the end boards of crib was beautiful carving of a family of boars that the old beta had added specifically because of how significant they were to Inosuke. The green eyed omega thought it was absolutely amazing and had hugged Urokodaki as tightly as he could when he first saw the carving. The whole project had taken about a month to complete so by the time he was able to deliver it to them Inosuke was already five months pregnant and extremely anxious about not having a place for his pup to sleep.

They deeply appreciated the effort Urokodaki had put into making Koichi's crib, he barely even knew them yet he still went out of his way to build them something special for their baby boy. And though they had tried to offer to pay him or return the favor Tanjiro's trainer refused to take anything in return and told them 'Koichi's happiness and safety will be payment enough.' The fact that Urokodaki had refused to take any money for his work stressed Tanjiro out to the point where he returned to Mount Sagiri with his adoptive father to clean his entire home for him. Despite him telling Tanjiro it wasn't necessary the red eyed omega insisted that it was the least he could do, Shinobu ended up yelling at him due to him still being in recovery.

All of that had been just two days ago and since then Inosuke had been changing his mind about where the crib should be placed non-stop, constantly going back and forth with his decision every few hours. Genya was a good sport about it though, he didn't blame his boyfriend one bit since he knew it was the pregnancy hormones and nesting instincts kicking in. Omegas were especially detail oriented when it came to their first pup, so if their nest and 'den' wasn't 'perfect' it seriously stressed them out. The violet eyed alpha considered himself lucky since his brother had been so much worse when it came to his pregnancy with the twins, Gyomei didn't get an ounce of sleep thanks to the albino omega's constant urge to redecorate.

Since the green eyed omega was especially sensitive to his surroundings Genya did his best to keep up with the constant adjustments to better suit his needs for comfort. Inosuke of course felt annoyed with himself since this wasn't normal behavior for him he knew it was 'typical omega' behavior so a part of him despised it. But despite how much the pregnant omega hated his secondary gender's quirks he trusted his instincts, they kept him safe for 15 years in the wild, so why wouldn't they keep him safe now? if his instincts told him that his baby boy would be safest in the corner furthest from the door and closest to his nest then that's where he'd be the safest. Well at least until he changed his mind again.

Genya made his way over to his boyfriend's nest, sat down next to him, gently rubbing his back, and allowing Inosuke to rub his scent on him once more. The green eyed omega preferred having his scent on his boyfriend at all times in order to discourage other omegas from trying to steal him away. The only other omegas whose scents he didn't mind in his nest or mixed with Genya's scent were Tanjiro, Giyuu, Sabito, and Sanemi's. Any other omega and he'd be extremely upset, last week Genya had gone on a mission with another omega and ended up visiting the water estate afterwards, still their scent on him. Of course he only had their scent due to treating their wounds, but Inosuke refused to speak to him and let him into the nest.

Scents were extremely important to pregnant omegas, it their nest didn't smell right or had unfamiliar scents they often became aggressive, upset, and angry until they could fix their nest. As Inosuke's pregnancy progressed further and further he became more sensitive to unfamiliar scents, he even refused to eat until he got his nest back to smelling like him and Genya. Sometimes the black haired omega would even drag his packmates to his nest to have their add their scent as well to help with adding back a sense of familiarity. One time the green eyed omega had refused to go to sleep unless Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Nezuko were there beside him since Genya hadn't spent the night with him.

While Inosuke would never be as sensitive to smell as Tanjiro or Urokodaki his increased sensitivity to smell still wasn't something to ignore. Another thing that became more and more important as he became further along was the texture of whatever clothes, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, and fabrics that went into making his nest. He despised anything that was rough or scratchy, and anything that rubbed too harshly against his sensitive skin was a definite no go. Sadly that did include some of his favorite furs that he had collected for his nest previously, some furs were just too course for his skin to rub against due to the soreness his growing body added.

Of course he still kept the furs, but they just weren't prominent in the outer layer of his nest, more so used to pad out the bulk of it to add volume and comfort. "Do you think he'll like the crib? Or the nest?" The omega stared up at his boyfriend with concern in his eyes, before getting pregnant he never felt worried about his nest so the sudden insecurity worried him. Genya gave him a reassuring look as he pulled him into his arms. "Ino, your nest is lovely and Urokodaki made sure his crib would be comfortable and safe for him. It'll be okay, and if it isn't we'll fix it together." Genya said as he kissed him gently on the head, Inosuke sighed, he hated feeling so uneasy all the time.

"Do you remember those breathing exercises Shinobu taught you for when you start getting anxious?" The black haired alpha asked as he rubbed his boyfriend's back in an attempt to help him feel better. Inosuke nodded, took a deep breath, counted down to four in his head, and let it out. He repeated the breathing exercise a few more times until he felt his built up anxiety slowly dissipate. The pregnant omega would always be thankful to Genya for taking care of him, protecting him, calming him down, and grounding him. After seeing how just by being by each other's side had done so much good for the two they silently regretted not giving the other a chance so much sooner.

Just half a year ago they wouldn't have given the other a second thought, but now they were dating and expecting a baby together. But despite what little time they had actually spent together neither of them regretted their relationship. What they did regret was how they used to treat each other, how they used to speak to each other, and how they used to hate each other. Sure they still fought every now and then, but it never got heated or genuinely aggressive like before. Inosuke still loved play fighting with Genya and doing things to annoy him, but now that the older alpha had a better grasp on things he knew it was just the omega's own weird way of showing affection. The more they learned about each other the more they admired and adored the one another.

Inosuke originally thought that Genya was just another rude alpha who'd do anything to get his way and someone who looked down on omegas while being a pathetic alpha himself. But now Inosuke understood that the black haired alpha was just someone who spoke his mind freely, he could be stubborn, but he always had a good heart, and actually deeply respected omegas. He now knew that Genya had merely been putting up a front to protect himself and most of his anger had stemmed from his own self hatred as an alpha. The more Inosuke knew the more he respected him, Genya couldn't use breathing techniques so he used became skilled in other fields in order to aid the corps.

He could be the shyest and most gentle person, but still be able to throw down and hold his own in a fight if he needed to, he didn't pick unnecessary fights but he made sure to end them quickly. As the two quietly reminisced about their time together Genya took a deep breath in and let it out. Inosuke looked up at him, he could tell he had something to tell him or something he wanted to ask. "Inosuke, I need to talk to you about something pretty important, it's about us and Koichi." The green eyed omega frowned a small bit, he wasn't sure what he meant but if it was about his baby he'd listen carefully to whatever Genya had to say. "Go ahead, say it." The pregnant omega said as he subconsciously placed a hand on his belly.

"I think that I should start taking steps to join your pack, we can't really keep going back and forth between packs forever, and it's only gonna get harder when Koichi's born. I know you're uncomfortable with the idea of leaving your pack, so I think it'd be easier for both you and Koichi if I joined yours. Do you think I should ask Tanjiro and Zenitsu about it soon?" Inosuke blinked at him for a few seconds, join his pack? Sure it would mean that they'd get to spend more time together, but wouldn't that mean that Genya would have to leave his own pack- his family behind? He knew how hard Genya had worked to repair his relationship with his brother and there was no way Inosuke was gonna make him give all that up just for him.

Genya wouldn't make him do that so why should he make him? It broke his heart, but he knew what he had to do in order to prevent his boyfriend from having to give up his life with his family. "..Genya..I don't wanna make you leave your pack behind..you just got your brother back in your life! You shouldn't just throw that away like it's noth-" Genya pulled his boyfriend into his arms and held him close. "Inosuke, you're not making me do anything. Even if I moved out Sanemi, Gyomei, and the pups would still be my family. I wouldn't be throwing anything away or giving anything up, Inosuke. You and Koichi have only been in my life for a short while, but you two already mean the world to me. You're my family now and I want to be with my family."

Inosuke hugged Genya tightly, as he fought back the intense urge to cry he buried his face in the crook of the alpha's neck. The black haired alpha carefully rocked them back and forth to help him calm down, he gently rubbed Inosuke's back in hopes that it would help comfort him. "I'm sorry if I didn't explain myself well enough for you, Ino. It'll be okay, alright? If I moved out Nemi, Gyomei, and the pups would be okay, the pups could use the extra space for when they get older too, and I wanna make sure I can take care of you and Koichi better." Inosuke nodded along with the alpha's words and did his best to calm down, he hated the pregnancy hormones for making him more sensitive, Inosuke normally never would have reacted the way he did. He hated it so much.

While the green eyed omega had always been brash and had a tendency to jump to conclusions in the past, it was never as bad as it was now. Inosuke's pregnancy had made him more emotionally sensitive to a point where he also found himself overthinking things which was something he never used to do unless it was a serious issue. The black haired omega never really thought things through before so maybe it was just harder for him to operate normally on top of all his new emotions, instincts, hormone changes, and especially now that he was taking Genya's feelings into account as well. Inosuke felt embarrassed just thinking back on what had happened a few seconds ago and felt extremely thankful for Genya's patience.

Genya waited for his boyfriend to feel better before he spoke once more. "If you want we could maybe see if we could try attempting to get Tanjiro and Sanemi to become friends so our packs can spend time together, maybe it'll be less overwhelming if both packs worked together. And maybe they'll be more open to it if we say it's for Koichi, would that help you feel a little better about it?" Inosuke quietly nodded and curled further into Genya's arms. "..Do you really think they'll try to get along..?" The black haired alpha gently brushed his fingers through Inosuke's hair and hummed as he thought about his response. "To be honest I think Gyomei and Zenitsu are gonna have to be on standby in case the two get into a cat fight about it. But I'm sure they'll try for you and Koichi."

Since both lead omegas of their respective packs had a soft spot for Inosuke it was a reasonable belief that the two would at least try to play nice with each other for his sake. Even if it was just while in front of others, Tanjiro and Sanemi's deep rooted hatred for one another stemmed purely from their different views on Nezuko's life. Tanjiro loved his little sister with all his heart and would do anything to protect the last piece of family he had and hated anything or anyone that brought her pain or sadness. It was his job and responsibility to protect her while he searched for a cure. While Sanemi only viewed her as just another demon and resented Tanjiro for preventing him from slaying her.

It was not only his role as the wind hashira, but his role as a mother as well to rid the world of the demons who threatened his kin, so he despised anything or anyone that stood in his way. Inosuke picked his mask up from where it was laid and began to lightly play with its ears as he began thinking more about his boyfriend joining his pack, choosing to move on from the other two omegas. What would it be like? To always have Genya with him, to raise Koichi with him, to have both packs fully looking out for him, and to have a real family. Before meeting Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Nezuko, and eventually Kanao he had no one but himself, especially after his boar mother died. Sure there was the old man and his grandson who taught him his name and how to speak, but they were never family to him.

He loved his pack, he really did, but a part of him always felt like an outsider, someone who couldn't completely belong or fit in without any blood ties to his pack. But now he was with Genya and he was having his baby, even if it still felt a little surreal sometimes, he was finally going to have a family just like he always wanted. But the first step to having that family would be letting his walls come down and allowing himself vulnerability without thinking himself weak for it. He knew that he'd need help raising Koichi, that he was in love with Genya, and that he needed to accept that being an omega didn't make him weak. He had a long way to go, but maybe having Genya join his pack would help so much more, just being his boyfriend had already done so much for him.

"Genya.." Inosuke took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a few seconds, and opened them as he looked to him. "..I want you by my side and I want to be by your side too, but don't expect me to become your mate even if you join my pack...I still got a long way to go before I'll even be able to feel comfortable thinking about bonding..it's got nothing to do with you though...and more so to-" "I get it, I understand. Being your mate would be amazing if I ever got that honor, but even then I'd only bond with you if that's something you truly wanted. I'd never force my claim on you. Being mates would never be a requirement. Helping you raise our son and you being yourself will be more than enough for me." Inosuke pulled Genya into his arms and hugged him as tightly as he could.

Genya nuzzled his omega as he hugged him back and lightly scented him, the alpha didn't care how long it would take or what it'd take to join his boyfriend's pack, all he cared about was being there with him. Koichi would have a father who loved him and one that would never dare harm him or his mother, Genya was sure of that. Knowing just what would help soothe Inosuke he gently moved him aside before standing up, walking over to one of the dressers, opening a drawer, taking out a hair brush, and sitting back down behind him. Genya then gently brushed through Inosuke's hair, being careful not to be too rough with any tangles he found. Inosuke didn't really brush his hair all the much, but having someone else do it for him seemed to help him relax.

The green eyed omega allowed his boyfriend to comb the tangles out of his hair, feeling his whole body relax under the alpha's touch, and a soothing feeling wash over him with each stroke of the brush against his hair. Genya smiled softly at Inosuke as he watched him visibly relax, after Inosuke calmed down completely he put the brush aside and hugged him from behind. Genya gently placing his hands over the pregnant omega's stomach. The two stayed like that for a short while until Tanjiro came by with a tray of food for them both. "You know you didn't have to, I could've made something." "Nonsense, it's my job as pack matriarch to make sure my pack's taken care of. And besides I enjoy cooking, just don't let Zenitsu know I wasn't resting."

"Got it." The black haired alpha laughed a small bit at his friend's words as he placed the food down in front of Inosuke so the pregnant omega could have first pick. Inosuke immediately started eating whatever looked the tastiest to him, no longer paying attention to either of them as his interest was completely captured by the meal in front of him. "Tanjiro, I've been meaning to ask you and Zenitsu something important, do you know when he's gonna come back to the water estate?" Tanjiro hummed in response as he thought back to what his husband had told him about his mission. "Hm, he should be back in about two days depending on how long it takes for him to complete his mission."

"Ah, that's a shame, I guess it'll have to wait. I really think it's something I'd need to talk to both of you about." Tanjiro nodded, he wasn't going to push him to tell him right now if he believed it was something Zenitsu needed to hear as well, but Tanjiro felt as though he already knew what Genya was gonna was ask. A few minutes later Tanjiro excused himself and headed back to his room to rest after his friend had managed to convince him to do so. Genya sighed and shook his head, he knew Inosuke looked up to Tanjiro, but he hoped that his boyfriend wouldn't emulate the burgundy haired omega's stubbornness. For now at least Inosuke was behaving and keeping to the rest schedule Shinobu provided which put Genya a bit at ease knowing he was taking it seriously, well as seriously as Inosuke could.

Genya had been nervous for a few days now even though his discussion about joining the Kamaboko pack had gone rather well with Tanjiro and Zenitsu. Much to his surprise the two had told him that he was pretty much already an honorary member because of how much he did to take care of Inosuke, how he spent a lot of time with the pack, how he helped out whenever he could, as well as the fact that he was already rather close with a majority of the pack's members. Zenitsu called him dense as hell for not realizing sooner then told him that if he wanted to be an official member of the pack then he'd need to form a bond with each member of the pack. Which meant he was gonna have to spend time bonding with Tengen.

But that wasn't why Genya had been so nervous, no instead he was worried about having to bring the topic up to his brother. He had no way of telling how Sanemi would react, he was always worried about upsetting him or driving him away after how long their relationship with each other had been strained. A big part of Genya was worried that him joining another pack would possibly ruin things or make things harder for them to get along. And though he acted like he wasn't worried about it in front of Inosuke whenever the omega asked he secretly wondered if Inosuke had been onto something when he brought it up the first time. At the moment Genya was struggling to find his courage to start that conversation with Sanemi.

He didn't want to upset his brother or stress him out especially since he was still recovering from giving birth to Kazuya, but he needed to tell him about his decision sooner than later. At the moment he was waiting for Sanemi to return from his and Kazuya's appointment. The black haired alpha remained stood in the kitchen in front of the stove waiting for the water in the tea kettle in front of him to boil. Then a thought occurred to him, one that calmed his anxiety for a moment. Sanemi wanted him to have his own family one day and be happy, but did that also include joining another pack? If his brother wanted him to have a family of his own surely that meant he'd support his choice to go be with his boyfriend and pup, right?

And if he didn't support his relationship then he wouldn't have bothered helping them out as much as he did. He laughed a bit at the thought, he felt like an idiot for worrying over it for the past few weeks, it began making more sense in his head why Zenitsu had called him dense. He now thought himself an idiot just looking back at the whole thing, of course he'd be supportive of him moving in with Inosuke. The violet eyed alpha sighed, a part of him guessed that it had been the built up stress making him anxious and the other half of him thought it was just because he was always nervous around Sanemi. The white haired omega had been extremely unpredictable ever since the bond between them became strained due to their family's death.

After realizing that the water had finally boiled he poured it into his cup with some loose tea leaves then put the kettle aside. "Ya gotta man up, Genya..it's just Nemi, he won't be angry...Oh who am I kidding? It's Nemi of course he's gonna be angry he's always angry." He pinched his nosebridge feeling like an idiot once again. He had just calmed himself down and now he was making himself worry again. As he drank his tea he went over what he wanted go say to his brother when he returned and mentally prepared himself for that conversation. But just as he was doing so a new thought had occurred to him, was it really the right time to move out?

Most omegas preferred not having big changes in pack dynamics after having pups due to the added stress, so was he going to have to worry about stressing Sanemi out by leaving? As he thought about it more he began wondering if he was just coming up with reasons to put the conversation with his brother off. Genya stared down into his tea at his reflection and wondered if he himself was even ready to leave his brother's pack. He'd been with Sanemi and Gyomei since the stone hashira had taken him in and since then he's been working to repair his damaged relationship with his brother. Was he really ready to leave his brother and mentor's side to strike out on his own?

He took a deep breath in and let it out, he knew that all pups had to leave the nest eventually, and that as a 20 year old alpha he wasn't a pup anymore. If he truly wanted to be with Inosuke then there was no way he could stay in the nest forever, it was time he grew up, and he needed to finally let go of his brother's hand in order to do so. He and Sanemi would always be brothers, Sanemi would always be the one who raised him when their parents weren't there, and Sanemi would always be there when he needed him. Genya would be okay, Sanemi would be okay, Gyomei would be okay, and the pups would be okay. He could let go now and he could start a new life, they'd always be family.

The black haired alpha finished his tea and felt a newfound confidence grow within himself as he finally believed in the words he had used to reassure Inosuke with. Thankfully before his brain could make him worry once more he heard the sound of Tsubasa and Shinya's footsteps running through the halls letting him know that Sanemi and Gyomei were home. A few minutes later the albino omega appeared in the doorway holding Kazuya. "You good? Your damn distress scents' everywhere." The older omega said as he looked to his younger brother and as he noticed the look on Genya's face he immediately got the message that he wanted to talk. "Let me go put Kazuya down for his nap, will talk afterwards."

And with that Sanemi left the kitchen, disappearing down the hall, and once again Genya was alone in the kitchen with his thoughts. A few minutes later the albino omega walked back into the kitchen with his mate, Genya guessed that the pups were most likely in the other room. "Alright, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" The white haired hashira said as he sat down at the table with Gyomei sitting down right next to him. "I think it might be time for me to move out...and join Inosuke's pack." "What took you so long to come to that conclusion?" Genya blankly stared at his brother for a few seconds. "It's not surprising that you'd wanna move in with him. I'm just surprised you didn't say anything sooner to be honest."

"Well you're not exactly the easiest person to talk to." The older omega hummed in agreement, Sanemi never made it easy to talk to him so he didn't blame Genya for feeling the way he did. "Did you talk to Inosuke and his pack about it?" "Yeah, Inosuke's a little worried about it because he didn't wanna put any distance between you and me because of how long it took for us to repair our relationship. Tanjiro and Zenitsu are fine with me joining their pack, but they said that it'd be best if I start getting along with the other members of the pack just so it'd be easier for me to become a full fledged member of their pack." Sanemi quietly listened to his brother tell him about what he discussed with his friends and had no objections to what he had to say.

"If joining his pack is something that you think is gonna make you and him happy then we'll support your decision. But that doesn't mean you don't still have a place here." "We won't be able to train as often so in order to make sure your training is maintained properly I intend to lengthen our training sessions." The blind alpha said as he held rubbed the rosary beads in his hands as a prayer. Genya sighed, he didn't dare oppose his mentor's decision since he knew that the older alpha was just looking out for him. "I'm not sure when I'll be able to move in with Inosuke, but at the very least this is a start." Genya felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders once the conversation finished and he began to wonder if the real struggle had yet to begin.

Chapter Text

It had been three weeks since Genya announced that he wanted to join the Kamaboko pack and since then he's been working tirelessly to try to earn the full trust of the pack. Giyuu and Kyojuro hadn't been as hard to get along with as he thought they'd be, nor had Sabito or Makomo given him any trouble, and since him and Kanao were already friends it wasn't that hard to earn her trust. But Tengen was a whole nother story, the albino alpha seemed to downright despise him, which somewhat surprised Genya since he had thought that he and the retired hashira had finally started getting along. But perhaps the crimson eyed alpha viewed Genya dating his tsuguko and having a baby with him as completely separate from being a part of the pack.

Or maybe he just liked being difficult for the sake of drama, Genya's limited knowledge of the older alpha told him he was probably right on the money when he guessed that Tengen was just being dramatic. For the past two hours Tengen had been glaring at him from across the table where he sat, it was strange seeing such a stern and genuinely serious look on the alpha's face. Genya just couldn't tell what Tengen was thinking or how he was feeling, but all he knew was that if this alpha didn't like him then he'd make his admission into the pack as difficult as he possibly could. Even if the white haired alpha couldn't outright bar him from joining the pack on his own he could still cause unnecessary stress or trouble if he wanted to.

As Tengen's cold glare sent shivers down his spine the smaller alpha began feeling more like a rabbit in the gaze of a wolf. "I don't usually take time out of my day to speak with someone as unflashy as yourself so you better make sure you don't waste my time. As Inosuke's mentor it's my job to protect him from what I deem as a threat. First of all, what are your intentions with him and Koichi?" A basic question, but one that Genya had an immediate answer for. "For starters I'm going to continue caring for Inosuke. And once Koichi's born we'll raise him together." "How do you intend to prove that you genuinely care for Inosuke and Koichi? That you're not only doing this because you're 'taking responsibility?"

"I wouldn't be leaving my pack for his if that was the case. I know it's not easy to believe that I actually care about Inosuke because we haven't been together for that long, but trust me when I say I'd do anything for him. And even though Koichi isn't here yet there's nothing I wouldn't do to protect him. I'll make sure that he has the father I never had growing up and that he'll never have to live his life in fear." Genya couldn't blame Tengen for being wary of an unfamiliar alpha trying to join his tsuguko's pack, anyone would be. Especially after taking into account that it was Tengen who saved Inosuke after he got attacked by Kaigaku the first time. But putting that aside for now Genya couldn't let the older alpha believe he was like Kaigaku for even a second.

"Those are some pretty bold words, kid. But I'm gonna need a bit more before I can give you the good ol' 'Tengen Uzui seal of approval." Genya felt a small bit of relief that Tengen didn't immediately trust him after one answer. Genya wouldn't have trusted the other alpha's sincerity towards protecting Inosuke otherwise, even if it made things harder for himself. "Do you intend to claim-" "No. Inosuke's said it multiple times that he's not comfortable with that. If Inosuke ever decides that he wants to be mates that's his decision alone. Even if I want to be his mate it's not something I'd ever force him or anyone else into." The thought of forcing claim onto anyone disgusted Genya to his core, but he knew he needed to control his temper.

Genya kept complete eye contact as he spoke, refusing to leave any room for doubt in his words. "I wouldn't have accepted any other answer. What are your intentions with the pack as a whole?" "If you're asking if I'm out for control of the pack as well I'm going to shut that down immediately. I got no interest in being the leader of a pack, even if me and Inosuke branched off as our own pack I'd let him take the lead." Tengen eyed him suspiciously for a few seconds to see if he could spot any signs of deceitfulness, but after seeing that he was being honest he didn't press further on the matter. "Well if that's the case, then how do you feel about your son? Would you treat him any differently based on secondary gender when he's older?"

Genya couldn't blame Tengen for asking, it unfortunately very common for families to be harsher on first born sons if they were born betas and especially omegas. But after seeing first hand what that kind of treatment did to his older brother he refused to put Koichi through that kind of life. "I don't care about whether he's an alpha, beta, or omega. He's my son. And as his father it's my job and responsibility to take care or him and protect him. I refuse to be anything like my own father." "How exactly do you view omegas? Because I swear if you turn out to be one of those damn alphas who only view their omegas as a way to make pups I'll kill you myself."

"If I was someone who only saw omega's as breeding stock then I'd deserve to be dead. Inosuke's his own person, I'd rather never see him again then treat him like some damn broodmare. Anyone who views their partner in that way doesn't deserve them." Tengen's last question felt more personal and Genya couldn't tell if was because of personal reasons or because of what happened with Kaigaku, but he was glad that an alpha with multiple wives didn't hold that belief. After hearing how Genya answered his last question it seemed as though the older alpha calmed down a bit, like some sort of weight or concern had been lifted off his shoulders. "In that case you've answered my questions well. But I'll still be keeping an eye on you, actions speak louder than words after all."

"So we're finished here for now? If so I'd like to go check on Inosuke." "You're free to go, I'll be taking my leave soon as well." And with that the two alphas went their separate ways, Genya made his way to Inosuke's room while Tengen went to go speak with Tanjiro and Zenitsu. By the time the violet eyed slayer made it to Inosuke's room the pregnant omega was already trying to rearrange the furniture once again. He simply sighed, made his way over, and moved his boyfriend away from the dresser he was trying to drag across the room. "Ino, you can't keep trying to move or lift heavy objects. Remember what Shinobu said about not straining yourself?"

The green eyed omega huffed and crossed his arms with a pout, he knew that Inosuke didn't like not being able to do stuff for himself, but he couldn't let him get away with things either, especially if it put too much strain on him, caused him to overexert himself, or put him in danger. "Alright, where do you want the dresser this time?" He said in a tired voice. "Over by the crib." The alpha nodded and carefully moved the dresser over to where Inosuke pointed, being careful not to scrape the floor as he did so. Once the dresser was in place it stood off to the side of the crib with the end board of the crib facing the dresser. There was a bit of space between the two that was just big enough for someone to stand comfortably between the two. 

Turning back around he could see that the little omega seemed quite pleased with the new placement of the dresser. Genya smiled softly at the sight of his boyfriend, it was a little hard for him to believe that in just a few months they'd be welcoming their son into the world. But just seeing how big his boyfriend's gotten and the fact that he was constantly moving a crib around their room every few days, thanks to Inosuke's heightened nesting instincts, it felt more real, more tangible, and more concrete in Genya's mind. While he was smiling at Inosuke the green eyed omega made his way over to him and wrapped his arms around his neck. "Your king demands affection."

Genya laughed a little and smiled as he kissed his boyfriend all over his face. "If you're my king, then what does that make me?" The alpha said as he scooped Inosuke up into his arms, the pregnant omega tilted his head a bit and hummed as he thought about it. "Hm, I guess that makes you my queen." Inosuke smiled proudly at his conclusion which made Genya chuckle. "Your 'queen', huh? Isn't it usually the other way around?" He said in an unserious tone, clearly messing with the other slayer as he carried him over to the nest. "Hmph, 'Queen Inosuke' doesn't sound as good." "And 'Queen Genya' does?" "If you wanna be a king you'll have to earn it! Besides, you can't be 'King of the Mountains' if you never lived on one!"

"But I can be queen of one?" Genya joked as he sat down with Inosuke in his lap, the omega nodded with a smile. "If you're with a king then that makes you their queen! At least that's how it works in those stories I hear Tanjiro telling Nemuno." "Alright then, I'll be your 'queen." Genya said as he nuzzled him, if going along with his boyfriend's silly logic would make him happy then he'd go along with it with a smile on his face. Inosuke purred at his boyfriend's affection and nuzzled him in return like an affectionate cat. The green eyed omega smiled as he nestled against his boyfriend's chest, and in that moment Genya didn't care about anything other than Inosuke and their son.

Regardless of the fact he had seen Genya just the other day Inosuke still demanded that Tanjiro and Zenitsu take him over to the wind estate to visit him. The violet eyed alpha of course was happy seeing his boyfriend, but immediately made him rest as soon as he got inside and began making some food for him. And while waiting for Genya to finish making food Gyomei ended up coming into the kitchen to say hello, which is what lead to the current situation. Inosuke had decided that he might as well start a conversation with the stone hashira if he was going to be apart of his family soon. But there was only one problem, Inosuke didn't know what to talk to Gyomei about. So it took quite a bit before Inosuke made his approach to a conversation.

"..So, what made you agree to start training Genya?" "He was very persistent when it came to asking me to train him and after I kept refusing to do so he ended up eating a demon which is how we found out he could temporarily turn into one." The blind alpha calmly answered as he adjusted his hold on Kazuya so the tiny pup was more comfortable. The white haired baby was far more interested in his father's necklace to care about anything going on around him so he didn't mind being moved around. "When I'm able to fight again can you show me some of the things you taught Genya?" The prime alpha laughed a small bit in response. "Only if Tengen doesn't get angry at another hashira training his tsuguko."

"He won't!" Inosuke said with a smile on his face knowing full well Tengen gave him special treatment because he saw him as his own pup. Something that Tanjiro sometimes got after Tengen for since Inosuke was his pup first. It was one of the rare things that made the red eyed omega territorial, but he'd leave it alone as long as Zenitsu got after the white haired alpha first. A few moments later Genya made his way over with a tray full of food, set it down in front it Inosuke, and sat down beside him. The green eyed omega, as usual, forgot about his conversation with the stone hashira as soon as food was placed in front of him. "Genya, how did your conversation with Uzui go?"

"Well after I answered all his questions he seemed okay with me, but he said he'll keep an eye on my for a while before he can 'fully trust me." Genya sighed, mostly just fiddling with the ears on Inosuke's mask after the omega removed it to eat. "I'm not surprised he's being this protective of Inosuke, given everything that's happened." Genya didn't like to think back on what Inosuke had told him about Kaigaku and the recent attack, but it wasn't something he could just ignore. Both attacks traumatized Inosuke on a deep level, Kaigaku was the reason why Inosuke feared unfamiliar alphas, feared being claimed, had night terrors, and caused Inosuke to doubt his own strength, something the omega valued deeply.

Even though Inosuke had gotten better by the time he and Genya became a couple the most recent attack caused a large loss of progress. Genya even heard from the Kamaboko packs' matriarch that sometimes the pregnant omega would hide for hours at a time whenever he got spooked and that sometimes he refused to sleep in his room alone. He just hoped that him moving in would help his boyfriend feel safe and comfortable in his home once again or at least help make things a little more bearable. After noticing the change in his tsuguko's scent Gyomei carefully reached over Inosuke and gently patted him on the head. Looking over to his mentor he smiled a small bit after seeing the reassuring look on his face.

Upon noticing Genya getting attention instead of him Inosuke grabbed Gyomei's hand and rested it atop his own head with while looking rather proud of himself for doing so. The blind hashira laughed and ruffled the smaller slayer's hair a bit which made the omega laugh. The sound of Inosuke's laugh drew Kazuya's attention away from the beads around his father's neck and made him look over to Inosuke. The white haired pup made a small noise as he reached out for the green eyed omega, though Inosuke wasn't there everyday Kazuya was still used to his presence and considered him a part of his pack even if he wasn't one officially. Gyomei took notice of Kazuya trying to reach out for Inosuke and followed through with the pup's wish as he carefully handed him over.

Inosuke stopped laughing so he could focus on how he held Kazuya as he was handed over and smiled as the pup cooed at him and swatted at the hair that frame either side his face. "Hi there, lil guy, did ya miss me?" He said as he moved his head side to side slowly to move his hair around so Kazuya could play with it. The baby made a few happy sounds as he swatted at and played with the omega's hair. Genya smiled and rested his head on in his left hand as he watched his boyfriend playing with his nephew. "So where are the twins if Nemi's resting?" The violet eyed alpha asked without taking his gaze off of his boyfriend. "They're with him, I told them they could stay if they promised not to wake him up."

"Ah, that explains why I haven't heard them running around." He said casually as he continued to watch Inosuke play with Kazuya, quietly imagining the day it'd be their pup in his arms. "He doing okay? I heard him talking about his back hurting earlier." Gyomei simply sighed and shook his head. "He's supposed to be resting, but he still insists on doing housework. He was up all night cleaning and his back was hurting this morning because of it. Namu Amida Butsu" The blind alpha said rubbing his rosary between his hands. "Shinobu's not gonna be too happy with him." The older alpha nodded in agreement and carefully took Kazuya back from Inosuke after the omega tugged on his sleeve.

A little while later Gyomei left with Kazuya to go check up on Sanemi and the twins, once again leaving Inosuke and Genya alone. Upon finishing the rest of his food the green eyed omega grabbed Genya by his wrist and began leading him to the alpha's room. "I wanna nest. Walk faster!" Inosuke said as he tugged on his boyfriend's wrist, the violet eyed alpha chuckled and followed the little omega a little faster. "Alright, alright, I coming. Just don't pull my arm off, okay?" Inosuke huffed at him in response, but didn't say anything else until they got to Genya's room. "Where are your blankets??" The pregnant omega looked around the room scanning for nesting materials and let out a whine when he couldn't find any.

"Ah, sorry about that. I washed them last night so they're still drying." He said as he made his way over to the closet to look fot some spare blankets. "So you slept without them??" "Yeah, it wasn't that bad, but it's definitely not something I like doing too often- Shoot, I forgot I gave you my spare blankets." Genya sighed as he noticed his closet was empty of any nesting material, so he grabbed some clothes and brought them over to Inosuke. "And you didn't realize that last night?" "No, I was too tired to look for spare blankets, will these work?" Inosuke took them from his boyfriend, feeling the texture of the fabrics for a bit, and nodded after a few minutes. The green eyed omega set the clothes down on Genya's bed and immediately started putting together a makeshift nest.

Once satisfied he pulled his boyfriend down onto the bed beside him and curled up in his arms with a satisfied huff. Genya let out a content sigh as he wrapped his right arm around Inosuke, pulling him close to his chest, and nuzzling him as the omega rested his head on his chest. Inosuke purred as he nestled himself against his partner and the violet eyed alpha felt a soft smile grow on his face as he noticed his boyfriend starting to fall asleep as he rested against him. He placed a soft kiss on the omega's head and allowed himself to rest. Closing his eyes he allowed himself to shut out his worries about wining over the Kamaboko pack, at least for now he could rest he'd worry about it later.

As Genya followed the flame hashira back from a joint mission with him, he wasn't sure how to talk to the red eyed alpha one on one, outside of combat, outside of training, or away from the pack. He wasn't sure if there was much to talk about and he definitely didn't want to ask the older alpha about his stance on him joining the pack since he was almost entirely sure that Kyojuro was too tired to have that conversation. Instead of heading for the flame estate Kyojuro decided to accompany Genya back to the water estate so he could check up on his tsuguko and say hello to the rest of the pack. Genya didn't mind the older alpha visiting the water estate with him, it's just that the long walk back felt rather awkward.

The two reached the water estate by the afternoon and by then Tanjiro was already making lunch for the pack. Inosuke had been waiting by the entrance all morning to greet his boyfriend as soon as he returned. Genya was barely able to take his shoes off before the green eyed omega was already dragging him towards the dining room. "C'mon! I don't wanna be the last one to get a plate!!" "Ino, Tanjiro always serves your plate first anyways. You didn't have to wait up for me." The black haired alpha said gently as he let his boyfriend drag him around, something that he'd grown quite used to and now found endearing. Inosuke simply huffed at him in a way that told Genya that there was no point in questioning him.

Kyojuro seemed to also perk up at the mention of food, so the older alpha followed along as soon as he got his shoes off. Tanjiro greeted the three as soon as they entered the dining room and as usual he was serving Inosuke's plate first. Ever since the red eyed omega recently discovered that Inosuke was less likely to steal food if he was served first he made sure to give the pregnant omega his share first. Inosuke immediately took a seat, with a little help from Genya, and started eating as soon as he was handed his plate. "Tanjiro, how have you been?" Kyojuro said as he patted the burgundy haired omega on the head, slightly ruffling his hair as he did so.

The red eyed omega laughed a little as his mentor messed with his hair. "I'm still doing good, Shinobu said my arm is healing rather well so I might be able to start rehabilitation training sooner than expected." "That's good to hear, my boy. I'm confident that you'll be back in fighting shape in no time!" The flame hashira gave his tsuguko a confident smile which helped boost his apprentice's confidence in himself. "Are you staying for lunch or heading off again?" The younger slayer asked as he handed his husband his plate. The flame hashira nodded and took a seat next to Genya, the black haired alpha tried to pay him no mind, he didn't want to make things awkward just because he needed to talk to Kyojuro.

Inosuke simply nodded in the flame haired alpha's direction and continued to eat his completely unbothered. "Oh, Genya, I forgot to bring it up before, but I'd like to speak with you after lunch." "Uh, sure.." Genya said with a slight sense of nervousness even though Kyojuro was more approachable than Tengen. Inosuke suddenly leaning against him reminded him why he was doing all of this and his boyfriend's presence helped him feel a bit easier going forwards. It doesn't matter how awkward you are in conversations or social settings. This is for Inosuke and Koichi. Genya finished the rest of his food and mentally prepared himself to speak with the flame hashira.

Kyojuro on the other hand seemed to be in no rush to speak with Genya, he just kept serving himself more food each time he finished one plate. Tanjiro didn't seem to mind though, but he did have to stop Inosuke from trying to challenge the flame hashira to an eating contest since he didn't want the other omega to get sick afterwards. Genya allowed himself to relax some more after seeing just how laid back the flame hashira was in the moment. Zenitsu quietly counted the dishes that had piled up in front of them and quietly despised the hashira for making more work for him later since. The brown eyed alpha sighed and pinched his nosebridge, Tanjiro simply gave his mate a sympathetic look in response.

Genya didn't have to wait much longer however as just a few minutes later the red eyed alpha stood up and nodded in his direction. Understanding what he meant he stood up as well and followed the older alpha outside. "So, I hear you've finally decided to join the pack! I'm not opposed to you doing so, especially since Tanjiro speaks highly of you! So I have no doubt you'll be a member of the pack in no time!" "You're not going to ask any questions??" Kyojuro shook his head before speaking again. "I have faith in my tsuguko's judgement and if he says you're a good person then I have no reason to doubt you."

Genya felt reassured by the older alpha's words and a small part of him began to wonder if Tengen really was being difficult for the sake of drama. "I believe Giyuu won't be difficult to win over either, it's just Tengen who will give you some trouble, but I know he'll eventually give you his approval." Genya took a mental note of what the flame hashira had said before the older alpha made his way back inside to say his goodbyes to the others before leaving. The black haired alpha let out a small sigh, he was genuinely relieved that he had just been worried over nothing. Tanjiro let him know that Inosuke had gone to take a nap so that meant he'd be on his own for a little while.

For a moment he thought about training, but quickly figured that it'd be a bad idea since he didn't want his gunshots waking Inosuke up. He thought of what to do for a few minutes before deciding on taking care of laundry for his boyfriend. He headed down to their now shared room, making sure to be as quiet as possible so he didn't accidentally wake Inosuke, gathered whatever needed to be cleaned, and headed into the bathroom. Filling up the bath tub with cool water,  he grabbed a washboard from where it rested, and then began to carefully wash each piece of clothing, blanket, and pelt. After a quick smell of his uniform Genya removed it began to clean it as well.

Overall the bulk of what needed to be washed was just nesting materials that Inosuke often changed out. Prior to his pregnancy, and relationship with Genya, the green eyed omega almost never did any laundry other than whenever his uniform, fur, or mask got covered in blood, much to his packmates' dismay. He only really started becoming more conscious about keeping his bedding and 'den' clean after he started taking his boyfriend and pup's comfort into account. Once the black haired alpha was sure everything was properly washed he carefully hung the laundry up on the clothing line that hung above the bath. Afterwards Genya drained the water and made his way back into their room.

The violet eyed alpha lazily put on a spare yukata, padded over to Inosuke's nest, carefully climbed in, and laid down behind Inosuke. The smaller omega looked back at his boyfriend, half asleep with half lidded eyes. "Sorry for waking you, go back to sleep." Genya whispered as he kissed Inosuke's forehead gently and pulled a blanket over the two of them. "What'd Pyomuro say?" He yawned a bit as he spoke, an action that earned him another kiss on the head from his boyfriend who found it rather adorable. The smaller slayer lazily swatted his boyfriend away. "He said that he didn't have any problem with me joining the pack and that his mate wouldn't have either. Also that Tengen was just being dramatic."

"I told you.." he yawned once more before he curled up against his boyfriend's chest, nuzzling him as he did so. Genya let his boyfriend nestle in close and lightly scented him to help the omega go back to sleep. Even if he wasn't tired enough to sleep he could still lay beside his boyfriend to help him rest easier. Inosuke had gotten so used to having Genya by his side as he slept that he didn't really like being in his nest alone as much as he used to and slept better whenever he was cuddling with someone else, preferably his lover or the only other omega in his immediate pack. Inosuke's breathing soon slowed peacefully as he was was lulled back into sleep by the alpha's comforting scent.

Inosuke watched as his mentor and boyfriend sparred with each other from where he sat on the engawa and as he watched them Tanjiro sat beside him slicing up an apple for him. Zenitsu leaned against his made, the blonde focusing on his husband's scent to comfort himself after having been beaten up by Tengen during training. Inosuke let out a small sigh as he watched the two sparring alphas, only tearing his gaze away from them when Tanjiro handed him a small plate of apple slices. The smaller omega temporarily ignored his longing for sparring in favor of the snack presented to him. "Genya's not getting hit as much, you think he's getting better?" Zenitsu asked as he looked over at Inosuke for his input.

"Nah, Uzuri's goin' easy on 'im" Inosuke said with his mouth full, much to the blonde alpha's displeasure. "Don't talk with your mouth full. It sounds horrible." "Don' ask me somethin' if you don' wanna hear it!" The green eyed omega laughed at his friend's annoyance as he shoved more apple slices into his mouth. Zenitsu rubbed his shoulder and closed his eyes at the aching pain rushing down the length of his arm. "Tsk, the bastard didn't have mercy on me. He practically threw me across the field!" "You had a good recovery when you fell though!" Tanjiro smiled at his husband which made Zenitsu beam his own happy smile at him. "Were you impressed??"

The red eyed omega nodded which made the alpha even happier and made him feel proud of himself. About 20 minutes later Genya and Tengen made their way over to the engawa where the three other slayers had been sitting. The younger alpha was mostly covered in dirt due to Tengen throwing him around and knocking him down, but was otherwise unharmed. The violet eyed slayer sat down next to his boyfriend with a tired sigh as he rubbed a sore spot of the back of his neck. Inosuke immediately began tugging on the alpha's sleeve as soon as Genya sat down, the black haired alpha smiled softly at him and handed his haori over to the omega.

The green eyed omega immediately wrapped his boyfriend's haori around himself and purred, seemingly satisfied by the simple gesture and comforted by the alpha's scent. Tengen took a seat next to his tsuguko after gently nudging Tanjiro aside, the red eyed omega didn't seem to mind though. "How're you and that pup of yours doing?" The former hashira said as he looked over to his tsuguko. "I'm good and so is Koichi." Inosuke swatted Tengen's hand away from him as the white haired alpha tried to ruffle his hair up. "Genya still treating you good?" The violet eyed alpha glared at him for a bit. "He's great but he still won't let me eat fish." "You're not supposed to anyways. But I guess that does count towards taking care of you."

Tengen sighed while he casually readjusted his eyepatch and fixed his hair. Genya rested his head on Inosuke's shoulder, taking a few minutes for himself to rest a small bit. "Alright! That's enough rest! Agatsuma and Shinazugawa, you two are coming with me." "Huh?!" Both of the younger alpha's immediately looked over to the white haired alpha in complete shock. "We just trained with you for like an hour!! And you kicked the shit out of us!!" Zenitsu shrieked at the older alpha's announcement. "STOP COMPLAINING! IT WASN'T THAT BAD! Tsk, and besides, it's got nothing to do with training." The blonde alpha glared back at Tengen for a few more minutes before letting it go.

Inosuke whined a small bit and held onto his boyfriend's arm a bit tighter, drawing his alpha's attention back to him. "Hey, it's okay, Ino. I'll be back soon, I promise." He kissed the pregnant omega on his head and gave him a reassuring smile to help comfort him. "You can keep my haori with you if you'd like." The green eyed omega looked a bit disappointed still, but let go of the alpha's arm and accepted that he had to go. And with that the three alpha's took their leave and headed out onto the road. "Inosuke's been a lot clingier recently, everything okay?" Genya looked over at the smaller alpha walking beside him then nodded.

"Shinobu said it's normal for omegas to become more clingy towards their partners during the later half of their pregnancies." "Makes sense, man, how long has it been anyways?" Genya did the math in his head for a few seconds before answering Zenitsu's question. "Six months, but he'll be seven months through next week." "Isn't his birthday next week?-" "Yep. And that's exactly what we're doing today." The white haired alpha spoke up as he lead them to a nearby village. "We're gathering some supplies to celebrate Inosuke's 19th birthday today." The blonde alpha tilted his head a bit and turned his attention towards the older alpha. "If that's the case then why didn't we bring Tanjiro with us?"

"No offense to Kamado, but that kid couldn't keep a secret if he tried. If Inosuke asked him about it he'd know right away if he was lying! That omega couldn't lie with a straight face to save his life." As much as the blonde wanted to be offended on his mate's behalf he knew the older alpha was spot on. "Okay, that's fair I guess..but why didn't you just take Genya with you?" The black haired alpha shot his friend a look which made the brown eyed alpha shy away a bit. "Other than Tanjiro you've known Inosuke the longest out of the three of us here." The blonde sighed, there wasn't really much use in him arguing with the former hashira anyways.

On the walk to their destination Genya began brainstorming gifts for Inosuke that they could consider. "Ino's probably gonna want stuff for the nest, so fur pelts, soft blankets, and maybe some fabrics. Even if we can't find anything he'd like then we should make some of his favorite meals." Tengen nodded along with the other alpha's words and took mental note of everything he said. "Alright, then let's make this a flashy birthday!" The white haired alpha took off almost in the blink of an eye. "That's not fair!!" Zenitsu shouted after the crimson eyed man and chased after him, Genya sighed and did his best to keep up with the two speedy alphas. How the hell are these two so damn fast?!

Chapter Text

Five minutes was all Genya needed to reach the village and catch up with the two other alphas. The two were already arguing with one another by the time the violet eyed alpha made his way over to them. He didn't bother asking about it since they had stopped as soon as they saw him approaching. "Took you long enough." Tengen teased as Genya rejoined them. "Unlike you two I'm not freakishly fast." The black haired alpha said as he tried to hide his annoyance with the older alpha. The white haired man let out a small laugh before placing his hand on his hip. "Alright then, shall we start our shopping list?" "Guess so, Zenitsu can look for blankets, I can handle furs, and you can handle fabrics."

"Sounds good." Before Genya could say anything else the former hashira was gone in a flash. Zenitsu let out a small sigh and seemed visibly relieved that his mentor vanished from sight. "That man is insufferable. Can you believe he yelled at me for 'not running we with enough flashiness?' What does that even mean?? I think he's just berating me for the sake of berating me." The violet eyed alpha couldn't help but laugh a small bit at his friend's complaints. "I think he was calling you slow." The prime alpha gave the other slayer a blank look then sighed and pinched his nosebridge. "I swear he gets on my case for everything." Zenitsu said as he began to walk off in search of the previously mentioned blankets for Inosuke.

Genya watched as his friend walked away for a few second before turning on his heels and leaving in search of the perfect furs to bring home to his pregnant omega. As the scarred alpha made his way through the village he began noticing that it seemed more like one of the more modern towns near the big cities. Which became more and more obvious to him as he struggled to find any furs avaliable for purchase, and the ones he did find weren't up to Inosuke's standards. Maybe I could as Tanjiro to send a letter to Urokodaki asking about furs for Ino. Would that be too much work for him?? He already made us a crib for Koichi.. Genya let out a small sigh as he continued to walk around in search of his prize. I should at least try to find some on my own first..

After about 20 minutes of looking around he was only able to find one bear pelt that was softer than the others he'd come across so far. The alpha ended up paying about 7000¥ for it, not exactly cheap, but not too expensive either. Genya eventually began looking for Zenitsu after temporarily giving up on his search for furs. By the time he had found the blonde he was already speaking to a shopkeeper so instead of joining up with him he decided to look for the former sound hashira instead. The hyacinth scented slayer only got a few feet away from the store before he caught sight of the crimson eyed man trotting towards him. Tengen had at least five different fabrics folded up in his arms, and judging by his expression he was rather proud of what he found.

"Do you think he'll add these to his nest or have or Tanjiro make something out of these?" Tengen asked as he stopped in front of the smaller alpha. "Depends on how much he likes them, if they're soft enough he'll add them into the nest. But he's been really picky lately" The former hashira hummed in acknowledgement then readjusted his stance and rebalanced the fabrics in his arms as he waited outside the store with Genya. Five minutes later Zenitsu walked out of the shop carrying three blankets. "These were a lot more expensive than I thought they'd be." The blonde admitted as he walked over to the other two alphas. "Well I'm sure Inosuke will appreciate them in his nest." Genya said as he looked at the blankets his friend picked out.

The three blankets were each different shades of blue, but color wouldn't matter so long as they were soft and warm. The three picked up a few extra trinkets and gifts for the pregnant omega before making their way back to the water estate. Genya hoped that their gifts would please his boyfriend, especially with knowing how uncomfortable Inosuke had been lately due to his pregnancy's current progression. At almost seven months through, and just two to three more months to go until their pup was born the green eyed omega was especially restless. Wait, two to three months? That feels so close, it feels so soon, Genya paused and laughed a little to himself. He was going to be a father soon, so very soon, and instead of that realization filling him with fear it filled him with happiness, warmth, and excitement. I can't wait to meet you, Koichi.

As the week went by Genya counted down each day until his boyfriend's birthday, and each mission he went on he made sure to bring home a small gift for his lover. Inosuke on the other hand had been mostly bugging Tanjiro about the meals he wanted for his birthday. Thankfully despite being prone to spoiling his honorary pup the red eyed omega made sure not to give into any requests that wouldn't be healthy for him and the pup. The only times he was distracted from his every growing list of desired meals for his birthday were when Genya brought him those small gifts or when his alpha kept him distracted so Tanjiro could get housework done. When the day of Inosuke's 19th birthday finally rolled around the rest of Tanjiro's pack and Genya's pack showed up to celebrate with them.

While Tanjiro and Giyuu worked on preparing dinner for everyone Kyojuro helped Gyomei keep the pups out of the kitchen so they could work. Inosuke spent most of the morning wrapped up in the blankets that the three alphas picked out for him last week. The pregnant omega watched as people went to and fro between rooms while he stayed in the comfort of his miniature nest in the common area. Genya unfortunately wasn't able to spend time curled up next to him since Sanemi had insisted that he help out with setting things up for dinner. Although the albino omega would never admit that he now cared for the younger omega it was obvious to his younger brother with the way he was particular in how the decorations on the table was set up.

Since not only would they celebrating Inosuke's 19th birthday, but also the fact that his first pup would be born in just a few months Tengen came up with idea to do something special instead. The former sound hashira just didn't think that the normal small celebration would be worthy of such a special occasion. And as Genya helped Sanemi set the dinning room up he watched as Masachika awkwardly tried his best to start a conversation with Sabito. Unfortunately his attempts went completely unnoticed by the peach haired omega as he moved furniture out of the dinning room to make more room for the whole pack. Genya couldn't help but feel bad for the other alpha after witnessing his many failed attempts to catch Sabito's attention, but quickly went back to setting the table to avoid Sanemi's anger.

"So what's the deal with Masa and Sabito?" The alpha asked his brother while he helped set plates, not really expecting much of an answer. "They used to be assigned cycle partners I think." "Used to? Did something happen between them?" "I think Sabito got a boyfriend at some point. I don't know more than that." The albino hashira shrugged as he finished setting the rest of the plates and bowls down. "I'm gonna go see how far those two got with the food." "Don't tear their heads off if they don't 'meet your expectations" Genya teased knowing how picky his brother was with how others handled cooking. "No promises." The omega said as he left the room, after he left Genya took one last glance at Sabito and Masachika before leaving as well.

As soon as the alpha walked into the living room he was immediately met with his boyfriend who was already more than happy to drag him over to his makeshift nest. Genya chuckled a small bit and let the pregnant omega drag him to wherever he pleased. "You can't have missed me that much, I was just in the other room." He tried to joke, but a small huff from Inosuke was enough to tell him that the little omega wasn't going to put up with any teasing at the moment. The black haired omega nestled himself against his boyfriend's chest once the alpha was sat next to him with the blankets wrapped comfortably around them. Genya smiled at the sight in front of him and rested his chin on the omega's head as he pulled him into a hug.

"How're you and Koichi doing? Everything good?" He asked as Inosuke began purring. "Much better with you here." Genya lightly scented his boyfriend, he didn't mind how clingy his boyfriend had become due to the pregnancy, but he definitely felt a little bad seeing just how upset him being away could make the omega. It never failed to make him wonder how the omega coped when he had no one to cuddle with when him and the other members of his pack were away. The alpha's train of thought was immediately derailed when he noticed Inosuke shifting uncomfortably and making a small whining noise. "Ino? What's wrong?" He tried not to sound too worried, but with how far along Inosuke was at this point any unusual behavior was a cause for concern.

"Koichi's just kicking again." Inosuke winced after a particularly hard kick from his pup. It wasn't often that Genya was there when Koichi kicked so he immediately took the opportunity to feel around Inosuke's stomach to see if he could feel the pup kicking. The alpha laughed with a small bit of surprise when he felt how strong Koichi's kicks were. "You weren't kidding about that, heh, he's definitely your son." "Well no shit." The omega said with a slight hint of annoyance, he stopped glaring as soon as his boyfriend began comforting him with a massage. "At least he's a strong pup." The alpha said in an effort to cheer his partner up Inosuke just sighed and closed his eyes until Koichi stopped kicking.

After waiting for a couple minutes Koichi, thankfully, had stopped kicking just in time for Sanemi to walk into the room to let them know that the food was ready. Genya helped his boyfriend stand up and held his hand as the two of them made their way over to the dining room. With a little bit of his alpha's help Inosuke took a seat next to where Tanjiro would be sitting and excitedly picked up a plate and started to pick out what he wanted. "Slow down a bit, okay? Here, give me your plate." Zenitsu said as he watched the omega reach for the rice bowl, Inosuke handed his plate over to the blonde alpha and watched as he added brown rice to his plate before handing it back.

Only a minute or two passed before everyone was sat at the table and filling up their own plates and bowls with food. Genya looked around at the others who had come over and quietly took note of what was going on with a small bit of fascination. All three of Tanjiro's adoptive siblings were sitting next to each other casually chatting with one another. Gyomei held Kazuya so Sanemi could help the twins pick out what they wanted to eat from the meals in front of them. Tengen did his best to keep the peace between Makio and Suma while Hinatsuru had a small side conversation with Kyojuro. Urokodaki had moved his mask aside so he could eat, but it still covered the majority of his face. 

Genya smiled to himself as he looked back at his plate and began eating, having their packs together like this felt right to him, and he couldn't wait for their baby to get to be a part of it. As the alpha ate quietly he felt the comfortable weight of his omega leaning against him, something that had recently become quite common between them whenever they ate together. Genya smiled as he glanced over at the shorter man beside him, mentally noting that Inosuke wasn't quickly wolfing his food down like he usually did. Instead he was calmly eating, he looked so content, peaceful, and comfortable. The violet eyed alpha practically had to tear his gaze away before Inosuke brought any attention to his staring long enough for them to finish eating.

For the next hour or so the pack comfortably atw together while casually talking amongst themselves, Genya didn't care enough to pay attention to anything other than Inosuke so he missed a lot of what was talked about. And as soon as the pack was done eating and cleaning up after themselves the group made their way over to the living room so Inosuke could open up the many gifts they'd gotten for him. Tengen immediately swiped a medium sized gift from the pile and held it out to his tsuguko. But before the alpha could say anything Inosuke took the box from his hands and began to tear into the wrapping paper, much to Tengen's horror. Zenitsu had to hold back his laughter after seeing the look on his face drop as he watched Inosuke tear through the paper like it was nothing.

Eventually the torn paper wrapping revealed a hand made maple wood box with red and gold koi fish painted on the lid of the box. Opening the wooden box revealed a few fireworks and a miniature headband that matched with the former sound hashira's. Upon recognizing what they were Inosuke happily looked over to Tanjiro as if to ask him for permission to light them. The red eyed slayer gave him a nervous look before shooting Tengen a questioning look. "Maybe we should save those for later." He said as he carefully took the fireworks away from Inosuke as Zenitsu handed over his gift from the pile. Inosuke shrugged off Tanjiro's earlier concerns as he opened up second present the same way he did the first and smiled upon seeing that it was a box full of shiny rocks and acorns.

Zenitsu smirked at Tengen as if he had gained a win over him just by knowing the simple fact that Inosuke was easily won over by shiny things he could collect like a crow. "Okay, how about a gift he can actually use." Sabito said as he casually handed over his gift. The third gift consisted of a set of three identical knives with ornate hand carved wooden handles that each combined to form a picture of a forest when placed side by side. Sabito looked rather proud of his work, while Giyuu and Makomo quietly judged their brother for gifting a pregnant omega knives. "How about a break from dangerous gifts." Makomo said as moved her younger brother aside and handed the green eyed omega her gift.

Rather than wrapping her gift with paper the alpha had chosen to use a small blanket instead. Wrapped carefully inside of the small blanket was a pair of boar stuffed animals, one significantly bigger than the other as if it were a mother and it's baby. Upon noticing thinking about that Inosuke wiped a tear from his eye and mentally damned the hormones for making him emotional. The female alpha smiled at the younger slayer before she sat back down next to her brothers and watched as Kyojuro handed his gift over, a pair of bokken swords made specifically to resemble his own chipped swords. "For when you're able to start your rehabilitation training!" The flame hashira of course had his usual smile on his face.

After Kyojuro stepped aside Masachika handed over a box of fancy chocolates and fresh strawberries. Since the green eyed alpha didn't know Inosuke all that well he wasn't really sure what kind of gift the omega would like so he went with a pretty safe option since he didn't want to be the only one who didn't bring anything. Next up were Tengen's wives, Suma's gift contained a few handmade hats for Koichi, Hinatsuru's gift was a soft baby blanket with a cute duck on the bottom right corner. As soon as Hinatsuru and Suma stepped aside Makio immediately moved to the front and held out the present she picked out with a confident smile. The box was rather slim compared to the other boxes so Inosuke's curiosity was immediately peaked, but upon tearing the paper off and opening the box he was met with confusion at the sight of a chunky black rectangle.

"What is it?" Makio carefully picked up the strange rectangle and fiddled with it for a minute until an accordion like square with a circle piece of glass in the center popped out. "This is a camera. Picked it up on a visit to Osaka." The female alpha spent a few minutes explaining to everyone how the camera worked and showed how it took pictures. Inosuke was immediately interested in how the camera worked and seemed to be listening closely on how the camera worked so he'd be able to use it. But just in case he still couldn't figure it out on his own later on Genya made sure to follow along with Makio's explanation as well. "Makio! We were supposed to save that for last!" Suma whined, but a quick glare from her mate made the omega quickly quiet her whines, and hide behind Tengen.

Before Suma and Makio could start arguing or anything really at all Hinatsuru helped Tengen separate them. Tanjiro waited for them to calm down a bit more before handing his gift over to Inosuke. "Nezuko helped me pick this one out, so I hope you'll like it." The red eyed omega smiled at he watched Inosuke tear open the wrapping paper to reveal a brand new dark purple yukata with a maching pair of geta sandals. Prior to his pregnancy Inosuke really wouldn't have cared for clothes, but nowadays he felt more comfortable being fully covered so a new yukata was much appreciated. The green eyed omega casually tossed the yukata over his shoulders with a smile as he accepted the next gift from Giyuu.

Opening the package revealed a dark blue haori white hyacinth flowers on the hems of the sleeves. Inosuke happily added the haori to his growing pile of gifts, as he looked back up from his pile of opened gifts he was met with the sight of Sanemi already handing him another box. "This one's from me and Gyomei." Inosuke immediately took the box and began to unwrap it as soon as he recognized it's scent upon taking the gift box from the older omega. Inside was a few bags of the different teas that Sanemi had made for him whenever he'd spent time at the stone estate while he waited for Genya or when they took breaks after Sanemi gave him lessons on how to take care of pups. "You're not gonna be able to visit for a while, me and Gyomei thought you'd at least appreciate-"

The white haired omega was caught off guard by Inosuke pulling him into a hug. "Oi! It's not that damn serious-" The albino hashira simply huffed and patted him on the head after Inosuke refused to let go. Sanemi sighed and decided that he'd at least let him have one free hug since it was his birthday. It wasn't that he was emotional over receiving tea, but rather the fact that he truly was going to miss being able to visit the older omega due to his pregnancy and the fact that he wouldn't be allowed to travel much once Koichi was born. Sure he'd be able to visit once he recovered and Sanemi would probably be able to visit more once Kazuya was a bit older, but it just felt like it'd be such a long time til' then.

Inosuke eventually let go of Sanemi and allowed Genya to pull him into his arms for comfort. The black haired alpha thanked everyone who brought a gift for Inosuke, the omega was just glad his packmates didn't question him so much as to why he was being so emotional, most of then chalked it up to him being a little overwhelmed due to the gifts and pregnancy hormones. Inosuke didn't really care to pay attention to the fact that everyone had seemed to be in a rush earlier nor did he really notice it until a few minutes after his gifts were put safely away in his room and the pack was all gathered outside to light the fireworks Tengen brought. The rest of the night felt like a bit of a blur, all his emotions rushing together and blinding the passage of time for him.

Inosuke hugged Genya's arm and quietly stood beside him on the engawa as he watched Tengen and Kyojuro set the fireworks up in the training field since it was the most wide open space. As soon as the omega realized that he was becoming overstimulated due to his emotions he took in his alpha's scent and focused on his breathing to calm himself down. He watched as the fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded into dazzling lights. As Inosuke watched as the colors light up the night sky he couldn't help but notice how Genya looked as he stood next to him. As the pregnant omega felt his baby kick a few more times and as Genya looked back at him he felt his world come back into focus.

"You feeling better, Ino?" He'd be alright so long as he had Genya with him, that was the one thing he was certain about. He smiled up at the alpha and leaned against him as the two watched the fireworks with their pack. "Yeah, much better." Inosuke nuzzled his alpha as the taller man wrapped his arm around his waist and purred as Genya gave him a small kiss on the head. Once all the fireworks were gone each member of the pack said their goodbyes and headed back to their homes. Although Inosuke didn't expect anyone else to spend the night at the water estate he didn't expect Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Nezuko to leave with Kyojuro and Giyuu to stay at the flame estate. He shrugged it off though and guessed that Tanjiro just wanted to spend more time with his older brother and mentor.

By the end of the night when it was just him and Genya left in the water estate he got his answer as to why everyone seemed like they had been in such a rush to get him to open their gifts earlier and why his friends had even left the water estate. As soon as the alpha brought them into their room he was all over his boyfriend, kissing him, feeling under his yukata, and pushing him against the wall. "Was this your plan all along?" Inosuke asked as he wrapped his arms around Genya's neck, the alpha simply kissed his neck and whispered in his response into his ear. "Well I figured I might as well repay the favor for the 'gift' you got me for  my birthday~" Inosuke let out a small moan as one of his partner's hands move to his chest play with his left breast. "We got all night together, Ino, and we can do whatever you want."

"How about we stop waisting time then~" Inosuke said as he looked into his boyfriend's eyes with a smirk on his face. Genya then lifted his pregnant omega up into his arms, made his way over to their nest, and set him down gently before beginning to undress him. The alpha took a minute to appreciate just how much pregnancy had changed his boyfriend's body, he'd make sure that the omega never had to wonder if he still found him attractive or not. Genya quickly undressed himself before spreading his boyfriend's legs and burying his face in between his thighs. Inosuke moaned as the violet eyed alpha's tongue began playing with his clit, he panted and used his hands to brace himself in the nest underneath him as he leaned back so his stomach didn't limit his boyfriend's access to him.

As Genya groaned as he eagerly licked the omega's pussy, savoring the taste of slick on his tongue, licking long stripes against Inosuke's entrance, and becoming more and more turned on with each sound his boyfriend made. The little omega let out a little gasp as the alpha sucked on his clit before plunging his tongue into his cunt. Inosuke threw his head back and moaned as his alpha carved out his insides and sliding that tongue of his as deep as he could reach. As he dragged his tongue roughly against the inner walls of his lover's cunt Genya brought Inosuke closer and closer to an orgasm. The omega let out a small whine as he placed one of his hands on the back of Genya's head, and squeezing his head gently between his thighs.

"Mngh, Genyaa~ Ngh, 'm clos-e~" The green eyed slayer panted, occasionally letting out little gasps and whimpers in reaction to the alpha eating him out. Before the omega could say anything else his boyfriend was already sitting up once more and pinning him down. Inosuke let out a small whimper as he watched his boyfriend line his hips up with his own. The omega blushed as he felt the tip of his boyfriend's cock rub against his clit, he bit his lip, and moaned as Genya dragged his dick along his cunt, teasing the entrance with his tip, and making a low growling sound that made Inosuke wetter. "Hahh, wait" The omega said, holding back a small whine as he used his elbows to help himself sit up.

"What do you need, Ino?" The alpha said with a gentle voice while he helped the omega fully sit up, Inosuke always admired how Genya could switch between being a dominant and intimidating to gentle and caring so easily. The omega nuzzled his boyfriend for a few seconds, letting himself soak up his partner's affection before speaking once more. "I wanna ride you." It didn't matter how many times Genya's heard Inosuke say it before, hearing Inosuke tell him what he wanted in terms of sex never failed to make him flustered. "Want me lying down or sitting up?" The black haired alpha said as he pulled his omega into his lap. "Laying down. Wanna pin you down while I take your cock.~"

"Fuck, that's hot." Genya said as he lined his dick up with the omega's pussy, Inosuke kissed his boyfriend before pushing him down into their nest, and angling his hips so his alpha could enter him easier. The two groaned in pleasure as the alpha sheathed his cock deep inside of the omega's cunt. Inosuke moaned as he sank down completely onto his boyfriend's dick, Genya panted as he gazed up at the omega straddling his hips, and groaned as Inosuke slowly began rolling his hips back and forth. The green eyed omega soft pleasured sounds as he placed his hands onto Genya's chest both to keep himself balanced and to keep his boyfriend pinned down while he rode his cock. "Mngh!~" "F-fuck..you're so damn g-orgeous.~"

Genya groaned while he, bucked his hips upwards into Inosuke's, and placed his hands on Inosuke thighs. The green eyed omega panted as he rode his boyfriend in a slow and steady pace, moaning as the alpha's movements matched his. Genya groaned as he watched his omega roll his hips against his, Inosuke let out a small whine as the alpha's cock brushed up against his g-spot. The omega bit his lip as he sped his pace up, biting his lip even harder as he ground his hips down against Genya's a bit rougher. The alpha let out a pleasured growl as Inosuke squeezed his cock and felt up his chest. Inosuke moaned as he bounced up and down in Genya's lap, speeding his pace up more and more as he got closer to release.

"H-aahhh~ Inosuke!~" The alpha cried our as he felt the omega's cunt squeeze his dick even tighter, he knew his omega was close just by the look on his face and by how he was writhing in his lap. Inosuke sobbed out in pleasure as his legs began to shake and his arms began to feel weak, he bit his lip and groaned as he continued to ride his boyfriend, all while feeling his orgasm building up inside him. Genya sat himself up, held his boyfriend close, placing his hands on either sides of the pregnant omega's hips, and helped the omega along. "C'mon, Ino, ngh, just..a lil' more.." the alpha panted and peppered his omega's face with kisses as Inosuke whined and sobbed in pleasure. "G-genya!~"

He moaned as he wrapped his arms around Genya as tightly as he could and dug his nails into the alpha's back. Genya groaned in pleasure, he began thrusting his hips into Inosuke's a bit faster and did his best to aim for the omega's soft spots. Inosuke let out a loud moan as he felt his boyfriend's dick effortlessly carve it's way through him, hitting his g-spot with every thrust of Genya's hips. The green eyed omega moaned loudly as he came, letting out soft whimpers and sobs as his boyfriend continued to fuck him through his orgasm, and hugged the alpha. Genya groaned he felt his own orgasm quickly approaching and feeling his omega orgasm around him definitely wasn't helping him keep his stamina steady.

After a few more powerful thrusts from the alpha his knot pushed into the omega's cunt, tying the two together temporarily. The black haired alpha moaned as he came deep inside his boyfriend and pressed kisses onto the tired omega's forehead. Inosuke leaned against his partner and did his best to come down from his high. "Did so good, Ino." Genya softly whispered to his boyfriend as he held the pregnant male in his lap, rubbing his scent gland against his, and gently purring. "..Genya?" "Yeah?" "This is probably our last time fucking for a while, huh?" Genya nuzzled his boyfriend to comfort the smaller slayer. "Only for a little while, but we should probably wait until Koichi's a few months old or until you can take birth control again." "Alright.."

Almost two months had past since Inosuke's 19th birthday, and with each passing week Genya became more and more protective of Inosuke as the omega got closer to his due date. And Shinobu making frequent visits to the water estate to check on him definitely didn't help ease the alpha's anxieties. The insect hashira's constant visits only served to remind Genya that any day now he would be a father and once again he felt that same nervousness he felt when he first found out about their pup. Inosuke didn't seem to be faring too well either, with everyone's constant attention on him, everyone constantly checking in on him, and his boyfriend acting anxious all the time he couldn't help but feel a little bit of that stress build up.

Of course he knew that everyone was just trying to make sure that him and his baby were okay and that he wasn't going into labor, he couldn't help but want some time to himself without the constant fussing. Inosuke did his best to avoid that kind of stress whenever he could, often hanging out in his nest all day, or spending his time curled up in his alpha's arms when Genya wasn't acting overly concerned for him and Koichi. He knew that Genya didn't mean to stress him out by worrying so much, but his alpha constantly hovering around him as if something bad would happen at any second wasn't really helping. He understood why everyone was so worried, he knew why they all felt the way they did, and he knew it was okay for him to want space.

He felt guilty any time he snapped at someone whenever they checked on him, sure he knew they understood how he felt too and that they couldn't help how much they worried. It was all so complicated and Inosuke just wanted it to be over and done with so he could focus on caring for his son, he couldn't wait to meet Koichi. But as the weeks went by with still no signs of labor Inosuke began to feel some of that stress and concern for his child as well. When his due date came and went with still no baby his concern turned to pure worry even after Sanemi had reminded him that due dates were just rough estimates and that some babies took longer. He just couldn't help it, he hated it so much, he hated not being able to just relax, and he hated feeling helpless with his own emotions.

Helpless, that was something Inosuke despised feeling, he knew he wasn't helpless, he knew that to his very core, but a small part of him always seemed to drag him back to that dreaded feeling. He hated it so much, he'd repeat it over and over in his head, why couldn't his omegan side leave him be for once? He just wanted his baby in his arms already, that was it, eventually that helpless feeling turned into longing for his unborn child. Sure Koichi was closer to him than he'd ever be in the future, but it wasn't the same. It wasn't being able to hold the pup in his arms, it wasn't being able to see his son with his own eyes, it wasn't being able to hear his son's tiny voice or cries, he longed to meet his little Koichi, and to share that joy with his Genya.

Inosuke's feelings were far too complicated for himself to even begin describe, he just wanted his life to go back to when he knew how he felt, when he never had to really think about anything, but that life seemed so far away now, could he really live like that while taking on the responsibility of being a mother? That was something he hadn't put into question for a while now, sure he'd learned all the physical and mental skills to be a mother from Sanemi, but was he really capable of being someone's mother? Him, a stubborn, brash, brutish, headstrong, impatient, and impulsive omega, was he really ready to put all that aside for his pup? Of course he was, but was he able to? Now that was the real question.

The green eyed omega groaned and buried his face into his boyfriend's pillow as he kept his arms protectively wrapped around his stomach. His head hurt from all his racing thoughts, he wished he could just turn his damn brain off for at least one minute or a second so he could just enjoy the fact that his baby would be here soon. He really wanted someone to cuddle with at the moment, but unfortunately he was the only one at the water estate at the moment since the other's were away on their missions and Shinobu had left to go take care of something at butterfly estate. He really wanted Genya to wrap his arms around him and tell him that everything would be okay, that they'd figure it out together every step of the way, Genya always brought him comfort.

He felt tears welling up in his eyes once more so he brushed them away and tried his best not to let his racing thoughts get the best of him as he uncontrollably spiraled in his head. Small kicks from Koichi combined with Genya's scent were thankfully enough to help him for at least a small bit though, but Koichi hadn't kicked since that morning. Inosuke rolled over onto his back and stared at the ceiling before closing his eyes as he tried to remember the breathing exercise he'd been using to calm himself throughout the later half of his pregnancy. In, hold, out, in, hold, ow, ow? Inosuke frowned and sat up a little, something seemed off, but he didn't know what it was. Was that a kick? ..No, felt more like a cramp..

He knew that Koichi was now positioned much lower in his womb, he knew what Braxton hicks felt like, but this wasn't it. He waited for a few minutes, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nothing- and then there it was again eight minutes later. It was painful, but it wasn't painful enough for panic to immediately set it. A small part of him felt excited at the thought that maybe, just maybe his baby was finally on the way now, but that excitement stopped when he remembered he was completely alone at the moment. Sure Shinobu had only just left an hour ago and would be back soon, but a part of him felt terrified at the idea of her not making it back in time. He took another deep breath in and let it out as he reminded himself that labor took hours, he'd be fine.

The next strike of pain came five minutes later, it felt worse in his lower back that time. But he felt a small bit of emotional comfort return to him upon remembering both Shinobu and Sanemi telling him about how some symptoms of labor could start days to weeks before actually giving birth. He shakily sighed and allowed himself to lay back down, he'd talk with Shinobu about it when she got back. He closed his eyes tried make himself fall asleep as he waited for the female alpha to come back and stay with him until his pack returned. Maybe Koichi was just planning on teaching his mother some patience before he was born, yeah, that's what it was, at least that's what Inosuke told himself to keep himself comfortable.

He'd make sure to tell Genya, even if the alpha would be constantly checking in on him at an annoyingly frequent rate, but he needed to know what was going on with him and their son. Inosuke tried his best to ignore his pain, but it just wouldn't allow him to sleep whatsoever, the pain reminded him of particularly painful period cramps after his rougher heats. He placed a hand under his stomach and waited for Koichi to kick once more, he could feel his pup's tiny movements, but he eventually concluded that his son was simply just sleeping at the moment. He sighed and allowed himself to focus on the good news that his wait would be over sooner rather than later, he'd be meeting his baby soon, the temporary pain and discomfort would be worth it for him.

Genya was stressed, no, stressed was an understatement for how the alpha was feeling. He hadn't slept in two days, how could he? His boyfriend had been experiencing prodromal labor for the past two days which according to Shinobu meant that his body was preparing for real labor, but instead of it being weeks till Koichi was born it was likely any day now. Any sign of discomfort from Inosuke had the alpha practically jumping to his feet ready to carry his boyfriend and run all the way to the butterfly estate. He hated leaving the pregnant omega's side for longer than a few minutes, he was constantly worried about his boyfriend going into labor without him and having to experience giving birth on his own.

Genya knew that with how sensitive Inosuke's pregnancy had been so far and that the idea of him having to give birth without his boyfriend by his side was enough to seriously stress or panic the omega. Genya desperately wanted to avoid anything that could potentially traumatize his boyfriend during that process. When Kyojuro insisted on dragging him along for a mission he wanted to tear the older alpha's head off with his words alone. Thankfully the only reason why he didn't actually do so was because Inosuke was already having a rough day and he didn't want to stress him out any more than he already was. On the way back Kyojuro tried to keep up a casual conversation, but Genya wasn't interested in the slightest.

He couldn't being himself to care about anything other than getting home to his Inosuke and Koichi, dear god he missed them so much it physically hurt him being away from them for too long. He despised each second without them, the only thing keeping his tired legs moving was the thought of returning to his lover and making sure he was okay. Just as he looked up from the trail ahead of him a deep set dread sunk into him as he saw a familiar black bird flying towards them, but before the corvid could deliver his message the black haired alpha was already running as hard and as fast as he could back to his omega. He didn't need to hear the bird's caws to know what news it had to bring to him, he knew why it was there. Inosuke was in labor.

He could hear flame running after him, but for once it genuinely felt as if the flame hashira was the one struggling to keep up. It didn't matter though, it didn't matter if the other alpha was five feet or a mile behind him because the only he had on his mind was being there for his lover in his most important moment. The moment their son would be brought into the world. Genya ran until his legs begged him for rest, his lungs burned as they struggled for air, and his heart threatened to beat out of his chest, none of it stopped him though. None of it could stop him, he was getting home to Inosuke no matter what, he was gonna be right there with him when the omega was in the worst of it, and he'd be right there with him when Koichi took his first breath.

As soon as he saw the water estate he nearly collapsed from pure relief as his body fought between exhaustion and adrenaline. He'd pushed himself past his limit and much further than any fight with a demon ever had before. He made it, he didn't greet Kanao as she held the door open for him, and he didn't say anything to Nezuko or Zenitsu as he ran past them in the halls. He nearly collapsed once again when he finally got to Inosuke's room, he sensing his omega's distress from where he stood in the doorway. Tanjiro quickly moved aside so Genya could take his place beside the black haired omega and quietly left the room with a worried look.

Inosuke sobbed in both pain and relief as soon as his alpha was beside him. "G-genya!" He cried as he held the alpha's hand tightly. "I know, I know, I'm here sweetheart, I'm here." The alpha reassured his partner as the omega grit his teeth and hissed as another sharp contraction hit him. "You made it just in time, Genya, almost ready to go. We just need to wait until his cervix is fully dilated." The alpha nervously nodded and remained focused on comforting his omega, he knew birth was painful, but he knew that since Inosuke's body was highly sensitive it was likely beyond what he could ever begin to imagine. It's why everyone had been so worried for the green eyed omega and seeing just how much it was already affecting him it pained Genya's heart to know it'd get worse for him before it got better.

They waited about an hour for Inosuke to finally be able to start pushing, he sobbed and cried louder than he ever had in his life, he looked so scared, it broke Genya's heart seeing him like that. It was such a rough pregnancy with all the outside stress, but now even just giving birth was enough to scare his omega? The black haired alpha began to question if having another pup would even be worth putting Inosuke through this again. Inosuke squeezed his boyfriend's hand tightly, so much so that Genya could have sworn that his hand was broken by now, he didn't care though, he couldn't, not when Inosuke needed him at least. This went on for two more hours, but by the time Koichi was born, there was no sound. No cries other than from his mother.

"W-what's..wrong..?" Inosuke whimpered when he heard Shinobu curse under her breath, why couldn't he hear his baby boy crying? "S-shouldn't he be crying?" Shinobu didn't answer, she didn't need to when Genya saw why she wasn't speaking. Genya's blood ran cold at the sight of his son laying lifeless in her arms, he quickly used his body to shield Inosuke from what he'd seen, the omega sobbed and screamed at his boyfriend to let him go and to let him see his baby. But no matter how hard be beat against Genya, no matter how loud he cried, how hard he bit or clawed at Genya, the alpha didn't move. He just held Inosuke close and repeated the same things over and over again with his shaky voice as he tried to desperately stop crying himself. "I-it's gonna b-e okay...I-...I promise...it's gonna be okay, I-In..Ino.." dread set in as Inosuke realized what was happening and he froze "N-no...please...no!! KOICHI!!!"
