Today was the 8th anniversary of Sabito's death. Your boyfriend, Giyuu, pretended that it didn't affect him anymore, and that he had accepted the death of his best friend. However, even after all these years, he still blamed himself..

You went with him to bring flowers to Sabito, and you stayed there for a while. You felt how heavy Giyuu's aura was, much heavier than usual, even if he hid it, as always.

After leaving the flowers, you two returned to his state. You tried to distract him, talking to him, but he was quieter than usual, and you noticed. Until after a while, finally, he broke.

He fell into your arms, burying his face in your chest, sniffing, agitated, as he held you tightly. He didn't say much, he just said muffled things that you didn't understand because of his sobs, and because his voice sounded muffled. You've never seen him cry before...
