Sanemi: Don't date Giyuu. I'm begging you.
Y/N, his bestie: Oh... You're right, I'm not good enough for him...
Sanemi, about to pop a vein: That's NOT what I meant
Y/N: I have no chance with him... Why would he want me of all people...
Sanemi: He WISHES he was good enough for you
Meanwhile Giyuu's just
"wait but... I'M the one whose not good enough... she likes me????"

You’re way too good for Giyuu in Sanemi’s mind. You’re one of the nicest people he’s ever met, one of the strongest Corps members and he believes you can become a Hashira one day, but you are so far out of Giyuu’s league that he doesn’t understand why you’ve chosen to like him. No matter how much Sanemi tries to convince you that Giyuu isn’t worth your time or your feelings, you can’t help it, he’s stolen your heart even though you’ve only met and spoken a few times before, you aren’t even sure why but he did. You don’t understand why Sanemi is so against you wanting to date Giyuu, in your mind he’s more out of your league and you’re sure he’d never have feelings for you.
Sanemi only watches when you try to talk to Giyuu, wishing you’d stop and forget about it, you’re not going to make even a bit of progress with him anytime soon. A few times you talk away from talking with Giyuu looking happy like everything is going well, sometimes he swears you look upset but he’s not sure if he’s seeing things right.
Oddly enough it is your best friend who starts trying to get Giyuu to talk to you more, mostly because he hates thinking that you’re upset about anything. Sanemi states dragging Giyuu off after meetings or actively speaks to him on joint missions, talking you up and about how anyone would be lucky to have your attention and affections set on them. It confuses Giyuu greatly for a while until he finally realizes what’s going on.
“…are you trying to set me up with [Y/N]?’
“No! Don’t be stupid!”
“Oh.”
“…if I was though, if I hear you’ve hurt her or done anything to make upset, I’ll kill you where you stand.”
It doesn’t scare Giyuu off, don’t worry. Actually it makes him start to push himself more to speak with and get to know you better, eventually asking you out and maybe Sanemi is happy about it instead of annoyed or mad.
He won’t ever tell you though.
