His arm hooked around Giyuu's shoulders, his scarred face close to the Water Hashira's as he leaned towards him, resting his head on the other's shoulder.
"...Shinazugawa?" Giyuu mumbled, after a moment of silence.
"Mm?" Sanemi glanced at him, moving his position to look at Giyuu.
"I... Will you meet me here again? Tomorrow?" Giyuu asked nervously. His gaze flickered to Sanemi's hand which rested on his own.
"Mm, alright," Sanemi (I wrote Sanmi ;-;) said, nodding.
In front of them, the water fountain seemed to flow a bit higher, matching Giyuu's emotions as he found himself nuzzling closer to the Wind Hashira.
They sat like this for a long moment, the only sound being the water and their breathing in silence.
Eventually, Sanemi moved away. "I've got to go," he said, much to Giyuu's disappointment.
The two stood.
"See you tomorrow?" Giyuu asked, a bit hesitantly.
Sanemi kissed him in response, sending butterflies scattering in Giyuu's stomach.
"Tomorrow," Sanemi agreed, retreating.
Giyuu stared after him as he left, a small smile forming on his mouth.
×××
"I love you, Sanemi."
Sanemi smiled. "You always had a way with words, Kanae."
"It's not a way of words," she said, laughing. "I'm simply telling you that I love you."
"Hm, then perhaps your tone. Gives me butterflies," Sanemi teased, resting his forehead on hers.
"If I have a way with words, yours is probably through physical affection," Kanae decided, a hand tracing the scars on Sanemi's chest. (headcanon's 🤩)
"Is it, now?" he asked, kissing her gently.
She smiled at him. "Yes."
They were there at the park. The one with the bench sitting across from a water fountain.
Behind them, somewhere in the bushes, Giyuu sat with his head curled to his chest, his arms wrapped around himself as he wished he could get up and leave. But he couldn't, they would hear him. Know he had been here the whole time.
His body shook, not from the cold but from the shaky breaths he was trying not to take as he felt himself almost fall into a pit of misery, his body sagging under the weight of an invisible force.
It felt like hours but was probably only minutes before Kanae and Sanemi left, most likely hand in hand.
Giyuu sat there, without moving, for a full minute after they left, his mind racing.
And then he stood, quickly brushing off the leaves and dirt off of him, before turning and walking promptly out of the park, in the opposite direction the other two had.
He didn't know where he was going but eventually found himself wandering to the Butterfly mansion.
His chest seemed to tighten at the thought of Kanae being there—though he knew she wouldn't know about this. She would never let it happen. Right?
Before he could leave, the door opened and Kanae's younger sister—Shinobu, who helped the injured often when she wasn't on missions—stepped out.
"Tomioka?" she said curiously, quirking a questioning eyebrow in his direction.
"Uhm. Kocho. Hi," he said awkwardly, shifting.
"Hello, do you need something?" she asked, walking towards him.
"No, uhm, I was just walking," he said.
"Oh, well Aoi just made lunch and we have extra, want any?" she offered, giving him a gentle smile.
"No, it's okay, I-"
Before he could comprehend what was happening, Shinobu was pushing him inside, closing the door behind him.
Giyuu found himself at a table, eating with Shinobu, Aoi, and three little girls. He blinked, staring at the chopsticks that had been forced into his hand.
What... was he doing here.
"Hm, you look troubled," Shinobu noted, starting to eat.
The other girls gave a murmur of agreement, glancing up at him.
"Oh."
"You're a Hashira so you probably have a lot to be troubled about. Oh! Speaking of Hashira, have you seen Kanae recently? I was looking for her but she didn't come home for lunch; thus, the extra," she said, motioning to his bowl.
"Right." Giyuu messed with the idea of pretending he hadn't seen her but decided that was being petty and sighed. "Yes. She was... with Shinazugawa. At this one park? With... a water fountain. I, uhm, passed by it on my way here and saw them."
"Oh, alright," Shinobu said. "Why don't you eat?"
"Right," Giyuu repeated, quickly starting to eat, not wanting to seem ungrateful.
"Are Kanae and Shinazugawa dating?" Aoi asked, after a beat of silence.
Giyuu waited, listening carefully.
"I would assume so. I don't know why Nee-san picked such a moron to date, though. I don't like Shinazugawa," Shinobu said, sighing.
One of the little girls laughed.
"Why not?" Giyuu asked, interested.
"Because he's arrogant. I can't figure him out. Sometimes, he seems like the type to be loyal, sometimes he seems like he's gay," Shinobu said, rolling her eyes.
Giyuu flinched. "Oh?"
"Mhm." She twirled her hair around the top end of her chopstick for a moment, then looked up. "You flinched when I said that. Do you know anything?"
Giyuu averted his eyes. Fuck, he was bad at acting. "Uhm. No. Thanks for the food," he said, lifting the bowl to his lips and drinking the rest of the soup quickly. "I'll be off now."
"Answer my question!!" Shinobu complained.
"He probably has training or something, he's also a Hashira, remember?" Aoi said.
Giyuu gave them a nod of his head quickly, then left, his movements stiff.
Once he was out, he let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding. Then instantly wished he hadn't relaxed when he saw Sanemi and Kanae walking up to the house, Sanemi's arm linked around Kanae's waist comfortably.
Giyuu froze and Sanemi's eyes met his. For half a second, they stared at each other, Sanemi's expression hardening for a beat before Kanae smiled and Giyuu broke their eye contact.
"Hello, Tomioka! I didn't think you'd be here?" she said.
"Yes, uhm, Ko... Shinobu told me there was extra food and forced—I mean offered—for me to have some," Giyuu explained, his gaze set on the ground. He could feel the other two Hashira's eyes on him as he talked and he inched cautiously to the path, trying to escape.
"Oh! You've eaten already, then?" Kanae asked.
"Yes."
"Why don't you stay? You look tired, you can rest here," she said, smiling as she and Sanemi walked up to the door.
Giyuu went to shake his head but his eye caught Sanemi's calculating gaze and he was suddenly unable to speak, unsure what he should feel.
Kanae ushered him and Sanemi inside, closing the door behind her. (do you get deja vú :3)
Inside, Kanae told Giyuu he could rest in one of the guest rooms, instructing Sanemi to lead him there.
Then she left to go to her sister, leaving the two Hashira alone.
Sanemi ignored him, walking through the halls where Giyuu presumed was the room he was meant to sleep in.
"Your room," Sanemi said, comfirming Giyuu's presumption as he pointed to a door at the end of the next hall.
"Shinazugawa?"
"What?" Sanemi's eyes flicked over Giyuu, as if reading him.
"You're... dating Ko- Kanae?" Giyuu asked quietly.
"And?"
"Con...grats, then," he murmured.
"The hell?" Sanemi raised an eyebrow and stared at him for a second then rolled his eyes and turned away.
As he started to leave, Giyuu watched him carefully.
It didn't seem like Kanae and Sanemi had just recently started dating. Which would mean Giyuu had kissed Sanemi—no, Sanemi had kissed Giyuu—when he'd been in a relationship. When he was.
Fuck, why had Giyuu thought he had had a chance anyways? And why the hell had Sanemi done that?
Having a day off work meant you could finally do your monthly cleaning for your apartment. It was exhausting but you got through it. You waited for your boyfriend to get as you just wanted to spend some quality time with him. He isn’t home yet work ended an hour ago. Wait why is he facetiming you now?
Today has been a tiring day for you. You spent almost the whole day cleaning the apartment. You usually did this once a month just to keep the apartment nice and clean.
You were now lounging on the couch waiting for Matsukawa to get home from work. All you wanted was to just hangout together and relax.
He had been doing a lot of overtime at work which really sucked. You just missed him as a whole and the time you spent with him.
It was starting to get a little late now being 9pm. Matsukawa’s work ended at 8pm so he should be home soon.
That is if he isn’t working overtime again.
You sighed and pulled out your phone clicking on his contact. You sent him a text asking him what time he was going to be home.
Staring at the text for a bit you sighed and turned on the TV. Getting a little more relaxed after watching your favourite show your eyes started to droop a bit.
Almost falling asleep your phone began ringing. You picked up your phone from your side giving it a bit of a confused look.
Matsukawa never facetimes you when he’s out so why was he now? Pushing your thoughts aside you answered the phone.
The person on the phone wasn’t Matsukawa. Who is she?
Your screen showed a girl with her face almost squashed into a bed. You could see a figure behind her but couldn’t really make out who it was.
Your heart dropped at the sight of the two. Her makeup was running down her face along with sweat.
You could hear her moaning loudly into the mic of the phone.
Staring wide eyed at the screen so many thoughts ran through your head. Was this really happening right now? You thought back to the many moments where Matsukawa had be off or distant lately but you thought it was just work.
Was it because this whole time he was fucking another woman? Before you even knew it angry and frustrated tears ran down your face.
You spaced out in your own thoughts for a little until you heard a voice. His voice.
Were you just imagining this? Louder moans came from the phone as this time a males moan accompanied the girls.
The girl now stared into the camera smirking at you a bit. Was she being serious right now?
You looked at the phone with such confusion and frustration you didn’t know if you could handle it.
After smirking at you she tilted the phone upwards and back a bit. You were met with the face of your boyfriend.
Your boyfriend of 4 years now. The one whom you lived with. The one you’ve been with since college. So why did it turn out like this.
He was too caught in his ‘activities’ to even notice you were on the phone. You saw as he bit his lip watching himself slip in and out of the girl in front of him.
More groans and moans came from the phone. A loud slap echoed throughout your speaker as you stared in disbelief.
Never in your life have you thought the person you loved most, the person you would trust your life with, would break your heart like this.
You wanted to look away so bad, just to end the call but you couldn’t. You needed to confirm this was your boyfriend. Though you saw his face you didn’t know for sure right?
All the confirmation you needed was when she moaned out his name. She wanted you to know that it was him. She wanted to let you know she had your man in her bed.
You watched as he threw his head back letting out a loud groan before looking down again. Only this time he noticed your face on the phone the girl was holding.
His face held such a shock he felt speechless. Getting the confirmation you needed ended the call immediately.
Not wasting any time you get up and stomp to your shared bedroom. While aggressively wiping away your tears you pulled out your suitcase and started shoving all of your clothes in there.
You looked around to see if there was anything else you needed before heading out. You breathing is still fast, your heart rate is up, your tears are still running and you’re trying to pack.
You head into the bathroom and grab your makeup bag and start shoving things in there as well. You tried to be careful and not break anything but it was hard due to the fact that you were so frustrated.
You tried taking deep breaths in and out to calm yourself a bit and get your vision to clear up. You finished grabbing your necessities and grabbed your bag and suitcase. Stepping out the bedroom you looked around once more to see if you would need anything.
The tears had now stopped and you’ve now calmed down a bit more. You walked to the door opening it.
Turning around one last time you looked around remembering all the good memories you had here. Now they were just reminders of a painful thing that happened in your life.
You stepped out the door and hurried to your car. Driving off you wished to never see that place again.
