Drunk shenanigans

A bit late but here is my submission for the last day.

For the record, this is modern AU and everyone is aged up.

The theme is: Free day/Cherry blossoms (springtime, a gentle heart, spiritual beauty)

Without further ado, on with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Kimetsu.


To celebrate the end of the year and everyone passing their college exams, Tanjiro and his friends organized a party.

It started off well, with everyone arriving at the Kocho home, the ones that had the largest house and could have them all over without any issues, everyone mingling and enjoying themselves.

However, there was one thing no one really considered.

Alcohol.

Everyone in the room is of legal drinking age but, most of them, don't usually drink so mayhem was inevitable.

There are different kinds of drunk.

There are those like Inosuke who, while usually loud, he is considerably louder and runs around the place while picking a fight with everyone he sees; no one actually fights since he usually either runs off to another person to fight before hearing an answer or Aoi, one of the few who isn't completely drunk, grabs him and drags him away.

Others, like Obanai, have less inhibitions but also forget things; like when he told Mitsuri he has a crush on her and she answered she has a boyfriend, he scowled and muttered 'who is it?' completely oblivious to the fact that they've been dating for six months; funnily enough, Mitsuri is the same type of drunk, since she didn't remember that Obanai is her boyfriend, seriously answering 'I already have a boyfriend, his name is Obanai-san' to him.

Most people had a good laugh when Iguro added this 'Obanai-san' to his shit list.

Another good example of someone whose personality is somewhat altered.

"You are so cute." Is Kanao.

She and Tanjiro had been next to each other for most of the party, to no one is surprise, and now the Tsuyuri was smiling happily while caressing his face, the blush on her face showing she had one too many to drink.

While Tanjiro.

"You have very good eyes so it must be true if you say it~" He is a different kind of drunk, instead of having a shift in behavior, his is 'enhanced'.

Everyone has heard him singing Kanao's praises or being affectionate with her, be it with a hug or holding hands, so that's not new.

But everyone is pretty sure that even he wouldn't usually let Kanao lay down on his lap, all while caressing his face and calling him cute.

Then again, that is something Kanao would never do normally either.

"Yes, it is true." Kanao nodded.

"Thank you~" Tanjiro said before suddenly bopping her nose. "You're cuter, though."

"Silly." She giggled in response. "You are cuter."

"No, you are~"

That exchange seemed innocent enough, if a bit embarrassing, to the people around them but…

"…you're the cutest." The way Kanao said that, as if even suggesting something different was out of the question, raised some alarms among the on-lookers.

"Kanao, I'm certain you are cuter than me, no one is cuter than you."

"There is someone, you." Ironically, the way she pouted when she said that only made her look cuter in Tanjiro's eyes.

"Alright, alright… how about we agree that we're both the cutest?"

The people around breathed a sigh of relief; even drunk, it seems Tanjiro will still try to defuse a situation.

"…but you're cuter than me." Kanao narrowed her eyes at him.

The moment Tanjiro's eyes narrowed and he looked back at her let everyone know, there was no defusing this anymore.

"Kanao, you are the cutest person in existence!" He declared, grabbing everyone's attention.

Including Kanae, who took out her phone and began to film everything.

"No, Tanjiro, I would accept if you call me the second cutest but you are definitely the cutest one!" Kanao replied, getting up from his lap and locking gazes with the Kamado.

"No, you could ask anyone and they would all say that you are the cutest!" Tanjiro replied.

Kanao grabbed his face with both hands and got so close they almost kissed.

"You are the cutest, period."

Despite her declaration, it didn't look like Tanjiro was going to yield.

The two glared at each other without blinking until the Kamado spoke.

"There is only one way to settle this."

"True." The Tsuyuri nodded.

The two turned to look at the crowd and spoke in unison.

"Aoi/Aoi-san, please give us the cups so we can do the reflex training!"

The crowd turned to the aforementioned, some with a questioning look.

"I don't have them with me… I'll just grab the cups here and use those." She answered.

"Thank you!" The two said at the same time before moving to an empty table and sitting on opposite sides.

Aoi soon brought a bunch of cups and placed them between them.

"On my signal, ready?" The blue eyed girl asked.

The two nodded, still locking gazes.

"Why is she going along with this?" Sanemi wondered with a frown.

"Aoi-chan knows better than to try and stop them… and she may have had a bit too many as well." Kanae answered with a giggle, her phone still recording everything.

"Ready… begin!" Aoi called out.

For two people that were clearly drunk, their speed and reflexes were pretty good.

"Five bucks say that the kid wins." Uzui suddenly said.

"Ara~ ara~ I'll take your money, Kanao will definitely win." Shinobu answered happily.

"Oi, let me in on that!" Inosuke yelled.

Soon enough, almost everyone was declaring bets on who would win.

Tanjiro and Kanao weren't aware, too focused on proving the other is truly the cutest by winning this cup game to pay attention.

'Hmm, I'm losing ground.' Tanjiro realized as they kept their exchange.

It wasn't by a noticeable margin yet but Kanao was moving just a bit faster than him and it would eventually lead to his lose.

'What can I do?'

"I told you, you were the cutest." Kanao said amidst their game. "Your gaze is the most gentle, which makes you the cutest."

'Wha-?!' Tanjiro almost lost there but managed to stop Kanao from raising her hand at the last second. 'Was she… trying to psych me out?'

"You are always kind to everyone as well."

"…the way you are always looking out for the caterpillars and your sisters is adorable." Two can play that game.

"I love how you always go help at the bakery, even when you have exams."

"The way your expression lights up when you taste the bread I make makes my heart flutter!"

"There are times I can't take my eyes off you, even when you're doing nothing!"

"The way you gulp when you see a food or drink you like is really cute!"

"I love it when you teach me how to cook and hold my hands!"

"I love all of you! Will you marry me?!"

"Eh?!"

That last one made Kanao stop, allowing Tanjiro to take a cup and lift it.

"Yes, I win! Kanao is really the cutest!" He raised his arms in the air.

But no one joined him, everyone was staring at him in shocked silence.

"…what is it?" He asked.

"Tanjiro." Genya began. "You just asked her to marry you."

"Ah, yes, I did." The red haired man nodded.

"Tanjiro-kun." Shinobu said with a dangerous edge to her voice. "It's not okay to say such things just to win a game."

"But I mean it!" Tanjiro replied.

There was another shocked silence.

"The kid is more flamboyant than I gave him credit for." Uzui muttered, forgetting about collecting his money for the moment.

"…yes." Among the silence, a whisper was heard.

"Kanao?"

"Yes! I will marry you!" She said, tears of joy falling from her cheeks and a wide smile on her face.

Tanjiro's eyes widened for a moment before he grabbed the table and threw it out of the way.

Then he closed the distance and hugged her close.

"I promise I'll make you happy!"

"Yes!" Kanao said as she hugged back. "I promise that as well!"

Everyone stares, shocked into silence yet again, when a loud clap is heard and everyone turns to see Himejima, smiling widely.

"This is great!" He declares.

Soon, everyone is cheering for them too.

"This is great you two!" Mitsuri says as she approaches the two and starts gushing about where the wedding can be.

"Thank you, we… Kanao?" He looks down and notices that Kanao had fallen asleep on his arms. "Ah… I was right." He gently moved her so her head is resting on his lap again and starts caressing her hair. 'She is, without a doubt, the cutest.'


Alright, I'm really late, but here is my last submission for TanKana Week!

This idea actually came to be from a conversation I had with a friend, it started with how ObaMitsu would act like when drunk, it then moved to GiyuShino and so and so on until it landed on TanKana.

I have to say, I had a lot of fun with that conversation!

There is actually an extra bit that I didn't add but I really liked that part as a stopping point, I may make it as an extra chapter but time will tell.

Anyway, thank you for reading my submissions, I hope you enjoyed them!

Until next time!
