Sanemi and Giyu were sitting on Sanemi's back porch at midnight, looking up at the stars in the night sky.

They were both sitting on their knees next to eachother, Sanemi's hand around Giyu's waist, tracing soft patterns on his hip while Giyu leaned into Sanemi.

Suddenly, Sanemi spoke up.

"Giyu.. we need to talk."

He muttered out, his expression rather serious. Giyu glanced at him.

"What is it..?"

The Water Pillar asked quietly, tilting his head.

"Was that Sabito guy, your first love? It had to be him, right?"

Sanemi avoided eye contact. Giyu looked slightly surprised, but nodded.

"Yeah.. he was my first.."

He quietly mumbled out. Sanemi huffed out his next words.

"So am I just a replacement? You always tell me I remind you of him."

Giyu looked somewhat shocked. He glanced up at Sanemi.

"No..! I never meant it like that..!"

Giyu tried to reassure him.

"I.. I love you.. Sabito..?"

But Sanemi was replaced with Sabito. Not actually, but that's all Gigu saw.

"So it is Sabito, huh? I'm just tbe replacement!"

"No, no! Sanemi! I truly love you!"

Giyu quickly cut Sanemi off, now facing the Wind Hashira instead of the stars.

"Since im just the replacement, I might as well tell you that I only loved you because you reminded me of Kanae."

He hissed out, looking the ither other way. Giyu froze, shocked.

"What..? Y- you told you loved me for me..!"

Giyu murmured, small tears in his eyes that would eventually grow big enough to roll down his cheeks. Not quite yet, though.

Sanemi uncrossed his arms, harshly yanking Giyu closer to him. He roughly cupped the Water Hashiras cheeks before trapping Giyu in a harsh, yet passionate, kiss.

"I only said that shit because I was mad! Just.. just say im the one you love."

Sanemi spat out, his face red as he looked away. Giyu's face was red aswell, but a soft smile covered his features.

"I love you Sanemi. I love you so much."

Sanemi looked away, still cupping Giyu's cheeks.

"I love you too, dumbass..!"
