Tanjirou lounged over Giyuu's back, arms around his neck as he snoozed softly.
Nezuko nuzzled his right arm while Akaza rested near his left as Rui draped himself over his lap like a cat.
Giyuu, covered in demons, was a very fascinating sight. He couldn't even move because both Nezuko and Tanjirou has grown to adult size and Rui was a lot heavier than he looked.
Honestly, they were pretty cool to the touch in the hot summer weather but it didn't mean he liked being in a demon-puppy pile.
Kyoujurou walked past and said, "Tomioka! How are you today?"
Giyuu muttered, "Fine."
"You look pretty... occupied."
"Thank you for noticing."
Rui reached out with his fingers and pulled Kyoujorou to them. Kyoujorou was thus pulled into Akaza's arms as he rested his knees under Rui's head.
He and Giyuu paused.
"..."
"..."
Only a few minutes later, Mitsuri walked by. She was dragged by Nezuko and so she had a demon girl on her lap as she wrapped her arms around Giyuu's arm.
She and the other two paused.
"..."
"..."
"..."
And then Obonai, running to find Mitsuri, was pulled in by Tanjirou and thus he had two girls on his lap and a leg around Rui, encasing all of them.
They all paused.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Nezuko yawned and showed off her fangs before she pressed further into Giyuu's arms as she settled herself in Mitsuri's lap.
Tanjirou cooed at Akasa and the pink haired demon curled himself and Kyoujorou closer so Tanjirou can rest his feet in their laps.
The four pillars are left confused, baffled and most of all, perplexed, as they are seated and cuddled by demons.
Giyuu, the center of all of this, can only sigh and wonder when he can finally be given a moment alone.
—————————————————————
Kagaya was often pulled into many hugs and head strokes. He was at first shocked at how touchy they were but eventually, he got used to Tamayo's embarrassed requests for head pats, Rui's insistent grabs at his hand to hold and Nezuko's cuddling.
They're not even bashful enough to refuse his family's cuddles as well, Akaza often holding his children as two were on his shoulders, two in his arms and then there was one of his daughters attached to his leg.
Yushirou seemed to like Amane's head rubs and Tamayo also often initiated hand grabbing, shoulder bumping and short hugs with her.
The pillars weren't saved from the continuous touching either.
Kagaya was currently gently scratching at Yushirou's head like he would a cat. Yushirou himself was purring.
Kagaya didn't need to think about it as Tanjirou sank to his knees and rested his head in Kagaya's lap.
Kagaya used his other hand to stroke Tanjirou's head and throaty purrs came out of his throat. Nezuko followed her brother and curled up in his arms, her head nuzzling against his side.
Akaza and Rui found them and the latter climbed into his lap, the former curling behind him like he was a cushion.
Tamayo opened the slide door with Amane and then promptly curled up next to his leg, wrapped up in Yushirou's arms, who's purrs became louder.
He had six purring demons around him and he laughed breathlessly because it felt more like having six cats all purring around him. Eventually, his daughters, son and wife came close and began to pet them like it was a cat sanctuary.
Nezuko playfully nipped at Kanata's fingers and his daughter giggled as the demon pulled her close and cuddled her. Because she was in Tanjirou's arms, Tanjirou also wrapped his arms around Kanata.
Kiriya was pulled into Tamayo's arms and each of his family was then cuddled up against them, quietly or not quietly enjoying the warmth and the affection that seemed to spread into their hearts.
After a moment of comfortable silence, Tanjirou spoke up and said, "The rest of us can only purr if Yushirou does. Fun fact."
"Shut up, blockhead!"
"Yushirou! Quiet down! Kiriya is right here!"
Amane laughed as she ruffled Rui's hair as he kicked at Yushirou's head to be quiet.
Kagaya smiled a little further as he saw his daughters starting to doze off. He glanced in the direction of his wife and she bumped her head against his shoulder and he rubbed her head out of the habit of the demons.
She laughed breathlessly before her breathing slowed and she fell asleep.
Peacefully, the day continued, oblivious to the group of cuddling demons and humans underneath its sky.
———————————————————
Sanemi was trapped. He was utterly, completely, undoubtedly trapped against a rock and a soft place. Which was basically Nezuko's chest.
The demon girl cooed and pressed him further into her bosom as she snoozed. He had found her in the middle of the hallway, crawling like a damn bug before she grabbed him and then held onto him like a koala, trapping him with her steel like limbs.
She gave a soft snort in her sleep and then hugged him tighter, forcing him to feel her soft chest press against his face.
His face flushed and he had the sudden thought to kick her but he knew he couldn't do anything to her because it was useless.
With a groan, he let her do what she wanted, wondering if he could call for help.
Nevermind, what if someone saw him like this?
He tried to find some weapon but it, too, was impossible because he couldn't move.
Sanemi growled, trying to wake her up as he harshly whispered, "You fucking bitch, wake up. Wake up right now or so help me, I will skin you alive."
"You can't hurt me." Nezuko mumbled as she lifted one eyelid to peer at him through misty eyes. She smiled, a feral stretch of her lips that stained her innocent face.
In the darkness, she truly looked like a demon as her pink eyes peered at him with an emotion like predators would look at their prey with.
She moved down, allowing her head to reach his, their eyes meeting. Sanemi tensed before Nezuko yawned and showed off her fangs.
Then she nuzzled into his chest and slept like a baby once more.
The next morning, the first to find him was Tengen and he would not start laughing at the sight of him and a demon sleeping on the floor.

Kyoujorou liked mornings!
Mornings were great! It was warm and nice and occasionally, when he was home, he'd see his brother and they'd have a wonderful breakfast!
As of the moment, Akaza was harassing him!
Kyoujorou didn't mind because it wasn't exactly harassment because Akaza didn't seem to know what he was doing. He was just groping Kyoujorou's abs and his biceps and cupped his pecs as he muttered things like, "I wonder how they got this big."
"Through exercise!" Boomed Kyoujorou's voice. "Now will you please take your hands off of me!"
Akaza paused and then stepped back. Tanjirou and Nezuko were smiling widely at them and Akaza gave a thumbs up.
Kyoujorou ignored them as Tamayo poured tea for him. "Thank you very much!"
"No problem."
Yushirou growled as Tanjirou and Nezuko grabbed at his waist in an effort to stop him from standing up. "Let me stand up and get the food!"
"Noooo.... stay with us!"
"The pillars need to eat!"
"But they don't need to eat right now! Stay with us!"
"Well then you can eat shit, Kamado!"
Kyoujorou then asked, "My boy, if it true that if Yushirou starts purring, all of you will join?"
Tanjirou perked up and the momentary distraction allowed Yushirou to escape. "Yeah! If Yushirou starts, we usually join in with him. But unfortunately, without, none of us can start purring."
Kyoujorou nodded thoughtfully. "Fascinating."
Tanjirou then smiled and said, "Do you think Akaza is cool? He has many skills with martial arts."
"Akasa-Kun seems very cool!" Kyoujorou said, not really understanding.
Why did it matter to Tanjirou if he thought that? Well, no matter! Kyoujorou did not mind telling him!
Akaza then climbed into his lap, placed his head on his thighs, looking up at him with a strange expression.
Kyoujorou was slightly bothered, but no problem! He can deal with this touchy demon!
He stroked Akaza's head like he would do for Senjurou and smiled widely.
Akaza looked pleasantly surprised and then grinned, his fangs on display before he then closed his eyes with a smile.
Tanjirou and Nezuko both smiled before they engaged Kyoujorou in a conversation about cooking, which wasn't his expertise but he liked hearing how they described different ways to cook sweet potato.
"Delicious!"
"Yeah!" They said as he repeated.
"Delicious!"
"Yeah!"
"Delicious!"
"Yeah!"
Akaza turned his head and listened to the heartbeat of his human before he closed his eyes and dozed off, using the rhythmic thumping to distract himself from their overexcited yelling.

Gyomei was quiet so he could listen to the sounds of nature.
Well, it didn't matter anyways because he had five people on his shoulders and two were pillars.
Muichirou and Rui were chatting rather joyfully and on his other shoulder, was Mitsuri and the Kamado siblings.
They seemed to like sitting on his broad shoulders and he didn't mind but they were so loud that he couldn't concentrate. He muttered to himself in resignation before Nezuko patted his collar and asked, "Can we go over to the tree over there?"
Rui flinched and then climbed down like a spider before he hid inside of Gyomei's haori. Muichirou looked confused and hung upside down to see him.
Mitsuri giggled and Gyomei smiled slightly. He walked to the tall tree and under the shade, sat down. Rui climbed out and then Tanjirou laughed.
"Thank you, Gyomei-San!" He said before he and his sister slid off, helping Mitsuri down. Then they all huddled together close to Gyomei and took a nap.
Rui and Muichirou joined, though the latter didn't nap but instead, looked at the clouds through the trees.
"Come on, Gyomei!" Mitsuri whispered shouted. "Come join us!"
Gyomei indulged them and sat down, tucking in his feet as Tanjirou climbed up to put his head on his knees. Rui took it one step further and placed himself in his lap, snoozing soon after.
In the moments of peace that their napping allowed, Gyomei realized that he just witnessed the demons' nap session, an act that many witnessed.
It was famous throughout the demon slayers as something the demons did, often bringing anybody around them into the occasion and cuddling with them.
Any demon slayers that was pulled into this situation often found themselves refreshed and energetic when they woke up.
Gyomei believed that this only happened because they were finally able to relax and loosen up for the first time in awhile due to their demon slaying but he kept his mouth shut and didn't voice it.
It was strangely peaceful and Gyomei finally closed his eyes and meditated to the sound of their breathing.

Shinobu was stuck with a spider boy.
This spider boy was Rui and he stuck to her back under her haori, muttering about 'the horrible sun' and 'it's vile, disgusting rays that interfered with his well-being and happiness'.
It was kind of cute but it was kind of ruined because of the fact that he was a demon. When she arrived at Butterfly Mansion, he hopped out and ran towards the three girls that greeted him with a smile.
"Sumi, Kyo, Naho!" He called crisply. "Look what I brought!"
He showed them his rattle drum when they ran to him and he brought out three more and distributed them. "Later, Onii-Chan is going to dance for us and we can play these! I'll give another to Aoi and Kanao!"
Then he paused and turned around, handing another one to Shinobu as he hugged her around her stomach. She took it with a surprised expression but he didn't mind and ran off quickly with the three girls behind him giggling.
Shinobu looked at the small toy and then smiled a bit.
She supposed it wasn't too bad with him here.
