• It had been four long years of shared memories — nights under the stars, soft morning kisses, the way Giyu used to pull you close without a word, the way he'd whisper your name like it meant everything. He was your calm, your peace... your person.

But something changed.

It started with a shift so small, you almost missed it. A colder tone. Shorter replies. Less time, less effort. You told yourself he was just busy, that maybe it was a mission, maybe it was stress. But then the days stretched into weeks, and Giyu’s warmth felt like a distant dream.

You tried everything. You left him his favorite dishes at his doorstep, carefully packaged with little notes saying “I’m proud of you today.” You sent him charms for protection, even silly little gifts that made you think of him. But nothing came back. Not even a “thank you.”

Then came the day you saw him texting. Hope sparked. You messaged him:

You: Hubby! What are you doing? 💙 Giyu: Talking with Shinobu.

Just that. No emojis. No follow-up. No “miss you” or “talk later.” You swallowed the hurt, typing back anyway:

You: Oh… okay, have fun then 😊

You wanted to cry. You did. But you held on for one more week, hoping. Praying.

Until today.

[The Message]

You inhaled shakily, fingers trembling as you typed the hardest message you’d ever sent:

You: "Hey, Giyu… I just want to say, we need to break up. I feel like I’m the only one trying anymore. I’ve begged for your attention, for your love, and it hurts because I remember how beautiful we used to be. I can’t do this alone. It’s turned from a two-sided love to a one-sided one. I’m sorry, but you’ve broken my heart too many times... and I can’t take it anymore. Thank you for reading."

You press send.

...

Giyu stares at the message, eyes wide, throat tight. A tear slips down before he can stop it.

Without replying, he opens another chat.

[Group Chat: “Giyu and Rina’s Wedding Planners 💍”]

Giyu: Guys, bad news.

Giyu: She broke up with me.

The chat explodes.

Mitsuri: WHAT??!!!

Sanemi: ARE YOU STUPID?? WHAT DID YOU DO??

Obanai: You better fix this, Tomioka.

Zenitsu: YOU WERE GOING TO PROPOSE NEXT WEEK!!!

He closes his eyes, shoulders shaking.

He never stopped loving you.

He just didn’t know how to ask for help.

And now he might’ve lost you… for good.
