The last couple weeks have been rough for Giyuu. You’d notice when he starts sleeping more, but still has bags under his eyes, how he’s picky with his food, how he always does the most to try to avoid people.

He’s your husband, and you love him to bits. But sometimes you worry about him more than he would like you to.

Although, as of late, you noticed young Tanjiro trying to talk to Giyuu more often. Maybe as a way to cheer him up, which is cute. But Giyuu seemed to be quite annoyed, because it was constant.

At first it started when Giyuu was meditating, and he heard Tanjiro calling for him from outside the water estate. “Excuse me! Mr Tomioka, sorry to bother you! But i’m coming in!”

Giyuu was surprised, usually he’d want to be left alone, but Giyuu eventually revealed to Tanjiro that he wanted the young boy to surpass him as the water Hashira, and was angry when Tanjiro had started to use sun breathing instead.

Next Tanjiro started following him everywhere, trying to get Giyuu to talk and open up, maybe train with him.

When Giyuu was meditating, training, even bathing, Tanjiro somehow still wanted to bother giyuu to get him to open up. One time you found yourself shrieking since you and Giyuu were bathing together, and Tanjiro almost saw you when he tried to poke his head through a small window, despite he had no ill intentions.

Giyuu just wanted to sleep. And this constant bothering wasn’t helping his depression.

It’s 6 am. And you can hear a faint ‘Giyuu-san!’ from outside the estate, and you can hear your husband wake up with a groan. Okay, so… he’s definitely awake, and definitely going to try to ignore Tanjiro outside.
