Work Text:
Anya and Damian are watching Demon Slayer in the Forger household. Loid and Yor are both working leaving the two of them alone with Bond.
“Hey, do you have popcorn?” Damian asks from the kitchen while Anya settles in the couch with her fluffy blanket.
“Uhhhj…no? But we have ice cream, peanuts, and chocolate, so it’s fine!”
Damian pauses, “w-what?…those are completely different foods!”
“Hey it’s fine! Just be happy it isn’t bond man!”
“Ohhh, I see. The great majestic gracious compromise of demon slayer,”
“Yes,” she says with a grin, “exactly. Now c’mon sit down!”
Damian turns off the lights and sits down, with practically no room left on the couch from Anya and Bond lying down. Anya turns on the TV and the glowing scenery of the Hashira training begins.
“Hear me out! Tengan!!!” Anya says,
Damian turns to her slowly, “He’s married. To three people.”
“And?”
“What do you mean and?”
“It’s hear me out, not I want to date him,”
“…okay, just pay attention to the show,”
“Nuh uh. You do a hear me out!”
“Why?”
“I dunno for fun, someone from demon slayer.”
“I don’t know,” Damian responds shyly.
She turns so that her head is leaning against his arm. “Fine who’s the best looking then. Just overall,”
“Why can’t we just watch.”
“Cause that’s not fun!!—Gasp! Noooo not my baby Zenitsu!!!”
“…your baby?”
“Yes! I adopted him! Okay?!”
“…okay—“
“Noooo!! HELP Tanjiro looks so cute in the little ballet outfit!!! You should dress like that,”
“…wha—“
Anya starts laughing, “I’m kidding! I’m kidding! But if you did you need to let me take a picture of you.”
“…can we just watch?”
Damian hears a mumbled “fine,”
~A few minutes later~
“Aww Mitsuri is so cute!!!!!!! I love her so much!! And she’s so pretttttty! Isn’t she pretty?!”
“Yea, she’s pretty.”
“Uh huh, is she your hear me out?”
“What? No, she’s just pretty. And she has hair like you,”
“Awwwww—you’re sweet. I don’t like how they make her outfit so revealing though,”
“Yea, no one else’s is like that,”
Anya suddenly sits up, “RIGHT?! Like the only reason her legs are covered is because of Obanai—which is why he’s a green flag and a hear me out—but still these writers!!”
“Ugh!” She says as she lies down, “it’s annoying. But I still love the show. And my children.”
She so weird
The show resumes, Tanjiro is now at Obanai’s rotation, and Obanai is rude to him.
“Noooo, why is snake man being rude!”
Because he loves Mitsuri, Damian thought to himself, It makes sense.
“My babies!!!!” Anya yells, Damian turns to look at her. Her pale face is lit up by the bright screen, making her eyes look like a light green. Sort of like Mitsuri.
They act pretty similar, both bubbly and kind.
“Noooo Don’t beat the other slayers please!!”
Buuutt the hashira is less loud.
“Nooo my babies!!!” Anya yells, but her voice is muffled by her peanuts.
She looks so cute
“Stop yelling about your babies,” Damian grumbles.
Anya looks up at him, with large puppy dog eyes, “BUT THEYRE MY CHILDREN!!” She says with a pout. Damian can feel his cheeks heat despite his annoyance.
“Uhh—fine. Let’s…just watch,”
Her face changes into a large smile, “okay! If you say so~ And remember! At least this isn’t Bondman!”
Damian feels himself smile, “okay,”
They both resume watching the show, Anya stops her chatter for a bit. The silence a bit unexpected to Damian.
“You’re like Obanai,” Anya says quietly.
“Hmm? How?”
“I don’t know…You’re…kind. But like in a scary stoic way.”
“…What?”
“I-I don’t know! Just take the compliment,”
“Is that a compliment?”
“Yea…” she says, he can’t see it, but he’s pretty sure she’s blushing. Her focus is on the TV, but Damian’s is on…her. Anya Forger.
”So I look like your hear me out?”
“I-I didn’t say that! I said you were like him! And don’t take it too seriously I have like a hundred hear me outs!!”
Her voice was rising, she was clearly flustered. And it was adorable to Damian.
“You’re cute,” he says, or maybe thought. Either way she doesn’t respond.
“Aww, Obanai and Mitsuri are so cute!!” So says with a smile. Returning back to her normal self.
You’re cuter though. Damian says to himself.
“Nooooo poor zenitsu!! My baby!!!!”
Damian can’t find himself to get annoyed at her, maybe he’s used to it. To her constant chatter during the show.
…I love her.
