⋆ ˚｡⋆ ꪆৎ ˚ matchup for.... @hannibalhhusband !!

ꪆ୧ if you would like to request a matchup, read this.

ִ ☆゙ requests are open.

[nsfw warning.]

♡ ➜ YOUR MATCH IS....

ʚ‎‏ ͜ ̩͙ ︵ ̩͙ ୨ SHINOBU KOCHO & GIYU TOMIOKA ୧ ̩͙ ‏︵ ̩͙ ͜ ɞ

ִ ☆゙ REASONING: okay okay, hear me out on them both. While they are total opposites of eachother, I really feel like both their personalities clash well with you as well as their own! Plus, there was another demon related reason that I thought would be the PERFECT dynamic between the three of you. You each all having a strong sense of justice just made sense and these two really felt like the best match for you. They're the type to ground you and you're the type to help them improve!

⋆ ˚｡⋆ ꪆৎ ˚ Shinobu's favorite thing about you: how empathic you come off! You're very sweet and she loves how you're able to listen and give good advice! (You may or may not remind her of her sister, she appreciates you even more for it)

⋆ ˚｡⋆ ꪆৎ ˚ Giyu's favorite thing about you: Your confidence! He admires your energy and enthusiasm a lot. He definitely finds you entertaining. (and is probably envious of it.)

★ ship names! : giyushino, jaxyu, shinojax, jaxyushino

ꪆ୧ HOW YOU MET:

You definitely were one of the newest hashira and the tenth hashira. You were a unique hashira among them, wielding a blade rather than a sword or katana, and having wind breathing. Shinobu was definitely curious about you when you introduced yourself the the other haira, Giyu as well. You seemed scary, while your personality right then was the opposite of that. You were very shy and closed off. Not the kind of thing you'd expect. Shinobu was the first to make you feel more welcome, her goal being to get you out of your shell a little bit, you were a hashira after all. Giyu wasn't to focused on you until you three got paired for a mission. Your strength and sense of justice inspired them both, and shocked them. You opened up a bit more during that mission and they knew a little more about you. You were so sweet! Shinobu definitely took a quiet liking to you, Giyu as well. He admired your strength the most. He didn't see your true confidence until he watched you fight a demon, and win. You always checked up on the others, especially them two. They were both very closed off! (Giyu mainly.) Over time you opened up to the hashira, and Shinobu and Giyu definitely noticed. They learnt more about your true personality and they were a bit taken aback.. but it was obvious they both had a keen interest in you. (first name bias was different for you because you preferred to use your first, or other names. So that's what they called you by, still though, it made them feel close to you. )

ꪆ୧ CONFESSION:

(okay, so this really depends if Shinobu and Giyu like eachother or not. It's all up to interpretation but it's implied they don't.)

I can see Shinobu ranting about you to Giyu. She loves to tease him constantly, so who better to talk about her admiration than the one and only! She didn't exactly state she was in love with you, she knew her feelings well, but chose not to tell anyone. Giyu on the other hand was completely oblivious to his feelings! While Shinobu ranted about how amazing and talented you were, all Giyu could think about was how much he agreed with her. It lead him to ask her a question.

"Are you in love with Jaxrel?"

"Are you?"

It was the first time Giyu had ever considered his feelings. Was he? He definitely admired you, just as much as Shinobu. It made him feel a little bit jealous. (Feelings like that aren't quite platonic..)

He turned away from her to think about his own thoughts. He's never been in love before, he wouldn't know if he was.

"I am."

—were the words that came out of Shinobu's mouth. She knew she loved you, and she knew he did as well. She didn't blame him of course, you're amazing to her and him.

"And I think you are too."

Instead of being jealous of Giyu, Shinobu helped out. Maybe it was pity, maybe it was guilt. She didn't exactly know why she decided to help him. She just did. Which is why she helped him discover his feelings, she made him realize that he was also in love with you. To be honest, they were both clueless on what to do.

"Do we tell him?"

"Do you want to?"

It seemed like no matter what Giyu said, Shinobu would pin the choices on him. While she did love to tease him, she cared for him as well.

"..Yes"

He has some hesitation. What would you even say? Who would you choose?

"What do you exactly expect him to say?"

"I don't know.. I just need an answer."

That alone made up their minds. They were going to tell you that they loved you, both of them were. At the same time. I doubt they expected you to choose either of them, let alone both of them.

They approached you in the daytime, it was safer anyway due to the demons. Shinobu invited you to a walk. You agreed. The three of you walked in silence a bit before Shinobu had spoken up.

"You know.. I think Tomioka has something to tell you, don't you?"

"I what."

You were confused, but interested. Giyu stopped walking and so did you and Shinobu. You asked him if he really did have to tell you something. To which, he replied.

"..Yes, but Kocho does as well."

Behind her cheerful smile, she did slightly glare at him. You responded with a nod, honestly even more confused than before. (are they seriously bantering at a time like this?)

"We're both in love with you." Shinobu said bluntly.

That wasn't really the plan.. well, they didn't have a plan exactly. They just knew they were gonna confess their feelings, separately. You were shocked to say the least, Giyu as well. You quickly looked and him, the only thing he gave you was a small nod. It definitely took you a moment of processing and a silent "really?" From you. Shinobu claimed that they were both very serious about their feelings towards you. You admitted to being in love with the both of them, you said you were unable to choose between them.

"Hm.. this is certainly a situation huh? How about us both." Shinobu had proudly suggested with that same smile she always had. It's difficult to tell when it's genuine or not. Giyu looked at her in a way that had different meanings, he wasn't against it of course, but was that even possible? (He was shocked, poor man knows nothing about love.) You thought about it for a bit, and agreed. Shinobu confidently declared you three were dating! Giyu agreed to it. He didn't mind sharing you. Plus, he trusted Shinobu.

You three continued your walk and ended up talking about it further inside, it wasn't anything super serious. Just a subtle agreement they were yours. And they shared you.

ꪆ୧ FIRST DATE:

It was Shinobu's idea for a date. Her and Giyu are both very laid back people and probably wouldn't be very romantic. (Besides possibly Shinobu) She had brought up to you and Giyu that it would be perfect for you all to go on a date, specially, a restaurant date. You both agreed, you being more excited than Giyu, and had went together on a free day you guys had. It was near dawn when you guys approached the restaurant, You each ordered your meals and had talked about many things. After you guys ate, Giyu announced he had a gift for you. He ended up pulling out a box of chocolate covered strawberries (hand made to be exact, he put a lot of thought into those strawberries.) You were so happy!! Two of your favorite things, in one. Shinobu praised Giyu for being so thoughtful and the only thing he could respond with were quiet words neither of you heard. He was quite flustered when you hugged him and kissed his cheek after the gift, Shinobu silently watched the scene infront of her, with a genuine smile. Shinobu and Giyu are aware about your liking to receiving quality time and they actually plan out more dates after that.

☆ GENERAL HEADCANONS:

Your dynamic is very interesting, considering you and Giyu are Aquarius', while Shinobu is a Pisces. Aquarius and Pisces are known to bicker a lot! They have a sibling like dynamic and tend to be super close despite their odds. It reminded me of Giyu's and Shinobu's dynamic a lot and it definitely explains them in your relationship.

While on the other hand, you and Shinobu are different. While you two may have your odds, you both are able to really communicate with eachother very well and it never leads to anything bad. Both your personalities may seem very different from eachother, and may cause certain difficulties but you two always manage to work through them. It may not seem like a good match at first, but you two truly share a bond together and that alone is enough.

You and Giyu are one of a kind. You guys understand eachother on a personal level and almost never argue or disagree on anything. You both inspire eachother everyday to do better.

I fully believe you and Shinobu would be able to push eachother's growth and grow as people together. You prefer to not take things to seriously and Shinobu tends to not want to take things to lightly, it may seem unfortunate at first, but you both are able to ground eachother and create a perfect grey area. Your relationship just feels so real and intoxicating. (in a good way, makes sense since she works with poison.)

Giyu definitely appreciated you more at first when you got to know him more and that you didn't dislike him. (Blame Shinobu in season one..) You definitely help him get more out of his shell and has opened up a lot more since meeting you. Which is why dating you was no different, you helped him like you always have. You guys were certainly an unexpected match, but you both make it work. You're both able to truly help eachother because of how much you guys understand yourselves.

Your breathing techniques match eachother so much.. like just hear me out real quick.. insect breathing.. wind breatbing.. and water breathing. All of those are very down to earth and nature related! Like?! It just fits sm!

Because of your breathing styles being so similar, you guys totally train together and give eachother advice.

Giyu isn't exactly the physical touch kind of guy, but he does love spending time with you. Shinobu definitely plans most of your hangouts, so when he plans some himself you both are shocked. Shinobu isn't afraid to give you physical affection. She usually initiates it! They both love it when you give them a gift and literally save EVERY gift.

Your many talents always impress them. They both always wanna learn more about you as in their eyes, you're insanely interesting. Shinobu absolutely adores your creativity. She loves watching you paint, cosplay, practice pottery, or drawing! She believes it shows off your personality perfectly and loves how passionate you are about your hobbies.

Giyu loves your commitment to instruments and languages. He's honestly really amazed on how much you can do, and how much you know. In private he definitely asks you to teach him what you know about the languages or asks you to play one of your instruments for him.

Baking!! Whenever you three are home alone together you bake them the best sweets there is and the absolutely enjoy every bite! You're usually the one cooking dinner for them and every bite is so delicious. They both constantly compliment your cooking, Giyu shows it by his actions while Shinobu shows it more through her words.

Actually, more on that, Shinobu is definitely the more 'bolder' one while Giyu is more tame. Shinobu has no problem showing her affection through physical touch or words of affirmation. Giyu on the other hand shows his affection through quality time or acts of service. (They both totally love giving you gifts and receiving them from you!)

..you guys adopt a cat together. (Giyu bought the cat a shark onesie, and it's the cutest thing ever.)

They totally help you with your skin care and hair care. You guys even have days where you do your routine on them!

While you all are strong in your own ways, it doesn’t stop you three from worrying about eachother when a demon comes into the picture. You don't doubt their abilities, and they don't doubt yours, but the fear still stands. They both reassure you that they'll be alright and make you promise you'll be the same! You guys are always paired up for missions due to how well all three of you work well together. You value your bonds and your job as a hashira.

After long days of training you guys end up falling asleep together, it's just too sweet.

They're aware about your disorders and issues and don't judge you for it. Because they're so calm and understanding, you guys are able to communicate through issues that may arise. They're always there when you need them, and are always able to give you space if you need it. If you were to ever (unintentionally) get mad at them, they wouldn't be mad at you. They would if course give you space until you've cooled off. When you're in a better mood Shinobu is always the first to hug you and make sure your okay, while Giyu prepares your favorite things to give you. (Think like a snack or book, his idea is to make you feel safe until you fall asleep <3)

They're both your biggest supporters and admirers and the truly love you a lot. They see you three staying together until the end.

Giyu and Shinobu are never jealous of eachother, bickering for you may have happened early on in the relationship, but they learned to keep it purely just jokes. While dating you, their bond with eachother grew and they became closer with eachother. They trust eachother completely and possessiveness isn't a issue.

While Giyu and Shinobu aren't jealous or possessive, they can be when someone outside their relationship shows interest. They show it in very subtle ways, but they always make sure everyone knows you're theirs.

Shinobu loves it when you fall asleep on her, she knows you love sleep so she never dares to wake you up.

Shinobu isn't too big on hand holding, but she loves to cling to you by holding onto your uniform sleeve or your arm.

I can see both her and Giyu immediately checking up on you after a mission, if you're injured they're the first to volunteer in helping you.

Even though Shinobu isn't fond of it, Giyu loves to hold your hand. It's his own subtle way of being close to you. (He's super awkward when both giving and receiving so it takes a lot for him to even hold your hand)

I totally see him loving physical touch over time. Seeing how you and Shinobu interact with it, gave him more confidence to do it himself.

They both can be pretty protective of you due to their pasts. They have both lost someone in their lives and they don't want you to be the next one.

Since you're all hashira's spending time together can be rather difficult.. even so, after their missions they always come straight to you.

(They totally talk about you together, literally all good things. One thing they truly have in common is how much they love you! They admire you in secret constantly.)

Shinobu definitely nicknames you jax or uses soft pet names like "dear" or darling" Giyu isn't to big on pet names but I see him using "love" or just "babe" .. Shinobu usually switches up the names she uses for you a lot, geuinley within the same day. One minute you're jax and then the next interaction you're eden. Giyu sticks with your name or jax like Shinobu, they didn't call you that until you guys started dating.

Shinobu definitely calls Giyu pet names whether they're dating eachother or not. Giyu has learned to just called her "Shinobu" instead of her surname.

ꪆ୧ NSFW HEADCANONS:

I cannot see Giyu topping for the life of me. Maybe a service top. Shinobu on the other hand, she's extremely dominant. If she's tired she'll let you take the lead 100% but other times she prefers to be in charge.

I feel like for your first time together it would've been after a very long day, you guys are cuddling until Shinobu speaks up. "Hey babes.. let's do something exciting.." Giyu didn't know what she meant at all, you had an idea. It wasn't until she started kissing you deeply while looking directly into Giyu's eyes that you both realized what she meant. "Do you wanna keep going? Both of you?" Giyu wasn't to big on sex as a whole, he's never really thought about it. (But there has been times where he was just so needy for you, he couldn't resist touching himself.) You both said yes and it escalated from there.

Shinobu loves to tease you and Giyu. Even if they aren't dating eachother, she still interacts with him while you guys do it.

She LOVES to touch you during hashira meetings or come up behind you a trace her hands seductively on you.

I can totally see her being a thighs person, like no matter who's thighs it is. Muscular, skinny, she loves them. She loves to trace kisses between your legs and leave marks on them. She will literally have you begging to let you release atleast once.

She's very sadistic.

Although she may have a pretty face, she loves to humiliate you and degrade you. Sometimes it even makes Giyu flustered. "Look at his face Giyu.. he's so needy for us isn't he?"

She loves to punish you, and Giyu. She'll probably start off so sweet.. and then twist it. What happens in bed definitely depends on the kind of day you guys had. She's really petty.

She loves bondage. She loves the way you squirm between the restraints.

She WANTS you to beg for her. I'd imagine she'd have some sort of authority kink and she'd want you to be aware of her position and treat her as such, obeying her every word.

She will edge both you and Giyu. No matter what the day was like.

infact, Giyu is the exact opposite of her.

He's not big on teasing, he'll give you what you want. (But he does love it when Shinobu or you tease him)

He's ALWAYS flustered when you guys do it, over time he may become more focused and serious.

He usually wants you to take charge for him, he likes it when people have control over him.

He loves it when you praise him, it literally has him even more hard.

He silently thanks Shinobu for being so dominant, he'd be nowhere without her

On days he tops, he's not super dominant about it. You'll have to guide him on what you want him to do to you.

He loves tired sex. You two will be cuddling until he's grinding on you for some kind of release.

He's very quiet, it’s your words that make him make noise. He loves hearing your voice, especially when you tell him what to do.

During the day, if he's in the mood, he'll give you a certain look. He's up for quickies if it means he gets to feel you in any way.

Because Shinobu and Giyu are so different, it's never boring with them. Whether it's one on one, or both of them at once.

Shinobu is amazing at aftercare. She'll shower you in affectionate kisses and praise you for doing such a good job for her.

Giyu will cuddle you until you both fall asleep, he's usually really tired after it. In the morning he'll be so sweet to you and offer you a bath!

ꪆ୧ DRABBLE:

(Okay so like you're half demon and I just had to write about you telling them because AA it's just so interesting.)

The previous day, you had told both Shinobu and Giyu you had something important to tell them. They didn't know exactly what, but they knew it was serious. You guys decided to talk about it in the Butterfly Mansion, even though none of you were injured, Shinobu thought it'd be best for privacy (and safer). Shinobu had let the two of you in. You were greeted by Aoi. "Can I get you guys any drinks?" You three accepted and she had brought you guys your favorite. You guys come here often enough for her to automatically know what you guys want. After the drinks, Shinobu took you both to a room and closed the door. She had asked her assistants to not bother them for a while, which meant you three had full privacy.

"What is it you had to dear?"

You took a deep breath in, you knew their history with demons. It made you even more nervous.

"Well.. okay. There's something I haven't told you both yet, and I need to tell you guys, I can't keep this up anymore.."

Both of them had a worried look on their face, nonetheless Giyu spoke up.

"Go ahead, don't worry too much. We won't judge you, alright?"

You looked down, you were extremely worried. How could you not be? You guys have been dating for 3 months, it only makes sense to tell them now before it goes any further.. you must've been quiet for too long because Shinobu began to speak.

"Are you okay, Jax?"

You nodded. You took another deep breath, silently hoping that you could just crumble away from this situation as a whole.

"I'm.. not fully human."

Both of them were confused, a little shocked to. You noticed their expressions and elaborated a little more.

"What I mean is.. I'm half demon."

Yeah, the confusion left them immediately. They were extremely shocked. Giyu was accepting of demons, he excepted Nezuko anyways. Shinobu has a deep hatred for demons, having a facade that she wanted to be friends with them all. They have both lost to demons. But, they did love you. They loved you more than themselves.

They weren't mad, just shocked. Giyu spoke up, the silence was heavy.

"That's okay."

Shinobu had looked at him, then you. She didn't see you differently.. she just didn't know how to handle this. They both knew you weren't fully demon, that you didn't act like it either. Giyu had moved closer to you, and hugged you. Shinobu sat in silence for a bit, thinking to herself.

"This doesn't change the way we see you darling."

It was the first thing she said in a while. Giyu removed himself from you and she walked over to kiss you. She apologized for her silence. They explained to you that this doesn't change anything, that they still see you the same. They loved you! It was a little emotional. They comforted you the entire time, reassuring you to the best of their abilities.

⋆ ˚｡⋆ ꪆৎ ˚ tropes:

Girl boss x Male wives Opposites attract Calm (Shino) x Chaotic (You) x Timid (Giyu)

⋆ ˚｡⋆ ꪆৎ ˚ second choice:

Honestly I knew Shinobu would be perfect for you right off the bat, Giyu took a lot of considering. I had almost chose Tengen and/or Mitsuri! Tengen and his wives would be the perfect support for you. Tengen may come off as harsh but he's super caring to those he loves! He's super confident as well and would've definitely been my pick if Shinobu or Giyu weren't in the picture. Mitsuri is so sweet! She's very emotional and passionate and would never judge you for anything ever! She's very understanding and was almost my pick instead of Giyu. It was super close honestly.

ִ ☆゙ SONG RELATED TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP:

The lyrics reminded me a lot of your relationship :3 (side note; poly songs are so hard to find.. )

ꪆ୧ I loved writing this matchup so much! The dynamic between you three was so fun to write. Thank you for the exchange :)

The Immortal Water Pillar, Tomioka Giyuu

(Tomioka Giyuu x Mermaid! Reader)

Summary: Tomioka Giyuu, The Water Pillar has live long enough, more than you know... But how did that happen? Well, it all started when young Giyuu met a mermaid...

Admin's note: Hello again everyone! I came back and this time I'm with Giyuu content, hopefully this will turn out well... I'm actually nervous about this since this is adapted/referenced from Yaobikuni and because Giyuu ate mermaid (or merman aka reader's) flesh, he's definitely the oldest (and still the most handsome) Pillar in demon Slayer corps, I warn you, this'll be OOC and there will be GiyuShino here

TW: Mention of Giyuu committing suicide (Artwork does not belong to me)

Legend said that there is a woman who accidentally ate mermaid flesh...

She doesn't age and stayed like she was, young and beautiful, got married but then she became a widow, tired of living this life, she became a bhiksuni and travel around the world, and she died at age 800...

She might be dead, but mermaid's flesh did have a wonder for her... She can live for eight century, but in reality... Whoever ate the flesh will surely live forever or became an Immortal.

"Tomioka-san, you're not a human aren't you?" Shinobu said out of the blue, as she and Giyuu were sitting on the engawa while watching the full moon, the question definitely caught Giyuu off guard, he looked at the petite girl who looked at him with that typical smile on her face, but you could tell she definitely put Giyuu in position.

Giyuu remained silent as the night itself, he wasn't sure how to answer that.

Matter of fact, he is a human but...

"....."

"Tomioka-san, you should know that silence could mean as a yes, so I was right that you're not a human..."

Giyuu's blue and lifeless Cobalt blue eyes looked at her as in saying "does anyone know about this?"

Shinobu shakes her head no, "No one knows... At least not yet..." Giyuu keep staring at her, he seemed to weigh option whether he should tell her or not, seeing that he's aware that Shinobu doesn't seem to fancy him that much.

Shinobu however could detect distrust radiating from the man.

"Tomioka-san, You could tell me, I swear I won't tell any soul"

Giyuu still not believing her.

"...You promised"

Shinobu nodded solemnly signifying that she really won't tell anyone.

Giyuu stayed silent as he roll up the sleeve and pull out his sword from his sheathe, the blue color of the blade illuminated by the moon.

"Have a look, Kochō"

Giyuu cut his arm, a long, gross scar on his skin and blood dripping off from his arm, Shinobu were mildly shocked "Tomioka-san, what are you...!?"

Her purple eyes widen as she saw the cut on his arm are instantly healed, no cuts, he wordlessly put his sword back to its sheath

"Tomioka-san, may I...?"

Giyuu nodded and let Shinobu examine his arm, her eyes are filled with wonder and curiosity

"How curious, you had an exceptional regeneration ability, it's even more better than demons, it's quite fascinating..."

She looked up at Giyuu, frowning.

"But how...?"

Giyuu looked back at the full moon, looking wistful "...Kochō... Have you heard the tale of Yaobikuni?"

"Ah... That's the tale of female bhiksu who live for 800 years because she ate the mermaid flesh..."

A flash of realization hit her

"Tomioka-san, you're pulling my leg..."

Giyuu just looked at his feet, another silence blanketed the air, and it's really heavy that it's almost hard to breathe.

"Tomioka-san..."

"Kochō... I'm a human but I actually have live more longer than you know..."

Shinobu were out of words.

"Then...how long...how long have you...live?"

Giyuu thought of it, it's been so long since he lived he couldn't even remember how long he live now.

"If I recall correctly, I'm born in Kansei era..."

Once again, Shinobu rendered speechless, this man, who are known for his reversed personality and distance himself from the other pillars has lived for two centuries...

"I will tell you everything but I'm not sure if you're going to believe me"

Shinobu is not the person who believed about mythical creatures aside from demon such as mermaids.

But if she heard everything from the man who lived for nearly 200 years...

...

Shinobu looked into Giyuu's blue eyes intensely, demanding him to tell her everything "Tell me everything, Tomioka-san..."

"Very well..." He looked up at the night sky and told her everything...

200 hundreds years ago...

Young Tomioka Giyuu and his sister Tsutako lived near the docks, everyday, young Giyuu could see fishermen, sailors and travellers come and go by the boat or a big vessel, aside from that, he could feel the wind gently blowing against his skin, the salty smell of the seawater and wave crashing against the reef, sometimes he watch as the sun rise and when the sun is setting, whenever Tsutako off to the city, he always play at the shore, watching the fishermen taking off to the sea or just enjoying the calm and serene sea.

It was another day Giyuu played by the shore, laughing as he kicked the sand with his small feet, he lift up his hakama and enjoy the feeling of the sea wave against his ankle, smiling and laughing, forgetting the fact that the land were plagued by the demon attacks, he could see the seagull flying, the palm trees gently swaying, Giyuu breath in and out as he taking in the beauty of nature in front of him.

Sometimes he wonder, what kind of place that exist across the big blue sea considering how big this world is.

As he enjoyed the sound of the waves, he could hear a faint sob somewhere, he looked around, there was no one but him

"Hello? Is anybody there?"

"...help me..."

Giyuu craned his ear and followed voice

"Somebody... please..."

He kept following the voice, he didn't realize he's been walking further, but it's a good thing that he remembered his way back

Soon enough, the sobs and plea growing louder and that's when Giyuu find something unbelievable...

He saw a mermaid/merman, her/his tail were trapped in fishermen's net, the mermaid/merman is around Giyuu's age too.

How is it possible?

"Hey, it's okay! I'm going to help you"

The mermaid/merman seems desperate that she/he didn't mind a human helped her/him "Please... It hurts..." Giyuu carefully climbed down the jagged path as he try to help the poor creature, Giyuu had watch several fisherman fiddling with their nets so he knows exactly what he must do.

He can't help but to feel your (E/C) eyes staring at him, Giyuu stopped for a while, examining you "Are you a mermaid/merman?" Although it was obvious, You just nodded as he continued to free you, Giyuu focused on the net and finally manage to free you, you smiled as you sway your (scale color) tail freely, you looked at Giyuu with a beaming smile "Thank you so much for saving me, human, I'm in your debt, how should I pay you?"

"Pay me?" Giyuu ask a little confused "Yes! Paying you because you have saved me rather selflessly I say... So what do you want? Oh wait, I know! I know you want immortality!"

Young Giyuu knows that living as an Immortal being is dream of any people, but there's beauty of growing old and even death itself, Tsutako said to him that no matter how much you want to be Immortal, you will never understand how is it to have a change within yourself, either it's physically or mentally, Giyuu smiled and shook his head "No?"

"No I don't want immortality, I'm happy that I could help you" you pouted then you look at Giyuu hands, there's a bit of cuts, he probably didn't realize that releasing you did hurt him "Your hand..." Giyuu tilted his head then look at his own hand "Oh! It's okay! I'll be fine, I can just lick it!" You widen his eyes and grab his hands in rush "No! It won't do you any good!" You looked around and to see a stone with jagged edge and cut your finger with it

"What are you doing?!"

"Shush!"

You let the blood dripping into his cuts and miraculously his hands were healed, Giyuu looked at it his now flawless hands in awe "How did you do that??" You proudly huffed your chest "I'm a mermaid/merman remember? Our blood had regenerative ability, even if just one drop we could heal those who are gravely injured!" Giyuu watch as the cut on your finger regenerated in a blink of an eye "That's amazing"

"It is, isn't it?" You smiled as you lean against the rock watching Giyuu closely "By the way, I'm (name), what's yours?"

"Giyuu...Tomioka Giyuu" he say as he bow slightly at you "Ah, take it easy, Giyuu!" Giyuu just smiled at you and nods "Okay then" he then looked at you tail curiously "What's wrong with my tail?"

"I think it's pretty" he say sitting down and dip his feet in the cold but refreshing seawater, you peer curiously at his small feet "Wow, your feet are small!"

"Yeah, I know but it will grow soon...hey!!" He fell on his back as you lift his feet and looked at it in awe "Wow! Look at your toes! It's so small! I wonder if humans feet are sensitive?" You cluelessly touched his feet as Giyuu stiffled a laugh "Stop..." You looked at his face and smiled mischievously and tickled his feet, Giyuu burst out laughing "Hahaha!! Ahhh!! Stop!! It's ticklish!!"

You laughed and keep tickling his feet, at the same time you amazed at how sensitive humans feet are, maybe this is why they used a thing called...zori? or geta? Or whatever it's called... It must be used to protect the sensitive human foot

Fascinating!

You stopped tickling him as Giyuu exhaled a relieved sigh "Geez, you could just ask me not giving me a surprise attack like that" you giggled "Sorry, I'm just curious, it's just, you're the first human I ever seen in my life!"

"Really?"

You nodded and looked at him with wonder and curiosity "I want to know more about human things! What did they eat? Why do you all wear weird clothes? How is it feel to run free?" Giyuu smiled at you and seem gesture you to calm down "I will tell you if you tell me how is it feel to be a mermaid"

"Deal"

"Now what do you want to know?"

You thought about it for a while "Why do humans eat fish?"

Well that certainly one heck of a question coming from a mermaid like you "Because they're tasty" Giyuu said "But some of the humans didn't really eat fish you know, some of them eat rice with vegetables"

Your eyes sparked with interest "Rice? Vegetables? I want to try them! It must be tasty!!"

"Hehe maybe when we can, I will come and get you some"

"Please!! I want to try what you humans eat!"

"I will, what else do you want to know?"

"Well..."

That day you and Giyuu spending time talking about human stuff, and you told him about mermaid things, you both talked till the sun begin to set "Giyuu, look! Sunset!!"

Giyuu smiled at how the sun slowly sinking, the once blue sky turned orange "I have seen sunset but I never knew it looked so beautiful here!" He then stood up and give you a sad smile "Well, it's nice to meet you (name), but I had to go before it's too late"

You pouted sadly "Giyuu, wait! Can I see you again tomorrow?"

"I don't know, will you be here tommorow?"

A smile spread across your face as you nodded "Yeah, I'll be here, waiting for you"

"Then I'll be here tomorrow, see you, (name)!" Giyuu waved and run back to the docks as you swim away to place where you stay.

As he reached the docks, Tsutako just came back from the town as well, "Giyuu, where have you been?" Giyuu just smiled happily "The reef near the seashore, I was just want to see a change of scenery" Tsutako smiled at him and ruffled his hair "Well next time I have day off take me with you" Giyuu smiled and nodded, he knows that his sister is very nice so his mermaid friend would like her too.

The next day, Giyuu came with riceball he made himself, he hoped that you would like it, he arrived at the same place, as he wait for you, he once again dip his feet in the cold seawater while humming "I wonder if she's/he's here..."

"Good afternoon, Giyuu!!"

"Whoa!!"

Giyuu jumped a bit as you emerge from the water with a smile on your face, you laugh at him "Hahahaha!! You should see your face!" Giyuu huffed his cheeks and pouted "You almost gave me a heart attack" you giggled and climbed up to the shore so you sit next to him "Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to surprise you"

You peered at the riceball he bought for you "Ooh, is this what human food looks like? It's cute!! Look at how you put the seaweed on it!" You say looking at the food with sparkling eyes, Giyuu smiled and put the box on his lap "This called riceball, it's a simple dish but it's filling when you really don't want to cook, have a bite" he say as he offer you one, you gratefully accept it and take a bite

It's tasty!

"Wow! This is delicious!!" You say as you gobbled up your food, Giyuu ate on for himself and smiled at you "Right? When my sister is away, I always make this for myself so I don't get hungry"

"You have a sister?" Giyuu nodded as he looked at the vast blue sea, "She's beautiful, nice and knows how to cook, someday I want to take her here so she can meet you" You're intrigued, Giyuu is nice and his sister must be very nice too, you yourself didn't really have any sibling so you kind of envied him.

"(name) are you okay? Are you mad that I wanted to take my sister here?"

"Huh? Of course not! I actually really want to meet her, it's just that..." You sighed and take a bite of your riceball "It's just that I'm jealous of you, it must be nice to have a sibling, I have spent my life all alone, my only companions are fishes in the sea, but I can't just tell what's bothering me to them, I need someone who can relate to me and understand me like a sibling did" you say sighing, Giyuu pouted and patted your back, you looked at her quizzically "What are you doing, Giyuu?"

"I'm trying to cheer you up"

"Is this some kind of gesture that most humans did to another?"

"Yup!" He stopped and looked at you "(name), if there's anything that bothers you, you can tell me anything!" You looked at him with hopeful eyes "You will?" He nodded "Of course! That's what friends for!"

Friends...

That's sounds amazing...

"Do you really mean it?"

"Do I really mean what?"

"That you are my friend?"

"Of course we are! I know we came from different world, but that doesn't stop me from being friends with you!" You could feel tears welled up in your eyes, the way Giyuu said it and how it's reflected inside his eyes, he was genuine.

"Waaahhh!! Giyuu!!!" You tackled him to a hug while you cry into his chest, truth to be told, you have met so many humans but none of them are as kind and as genuine as Giyuu... your eyes, the way Giyuu said it... His feelings are genuine

"Hey, hey, it's okay, don't cry" he say as he hugged you back, he could feel something on his lap and to see...pearls?!

You pulled away, wiping your tears away, smiling at him "Sometimes I forgot that mermaids can make a pearl from their tears, well, why don't you keep it?" Giyuu looked down at the pearls, it will be nice if he sell them and the money can be used for his sister but...

...

He scooped the pearls and throw it away to the sea "Huh, Giyuu you sure you don't want it? It would give you a plenty of good fortune" Giyuu shook his head "I don't need pearls like those, I became your friend just the way you are not because of what you're capable of" you smiled again and hugged him, gently this time "You had a pure heart Giyuu"

"What is that even mean?"

"Hehe nothing, just wanted to say it"

That day, the two of you spend time eating the riceball untill the sun began to set.

----

Years pass, and Giyuu had grown up into a fine young man and so are you, Giyuu still visited from time to time, and the more you spend your time with him, the more you realize how handsome Giyuu is.

"Is everything okay, (name)?" You looked away and sputtered "N-nothing!! Anyways... How have you been doing? Especially with all the recent demon attacks" Giyuu's smile falter as he sighed "I have been fine...I trained with someone who live in the mountain so I can defend myself and other people" he looked rather distant, something must've troubled his mind "Are you worried that we can't see each other now that you're going to mountains?"

Giyuu nodded "The man, Sakonji Urokodaki is very kind, his training may be gruesome but he's still allow me to see you when I had a free time"

"I see..." You just sway your tail then looked at him "Anyways, how is Tsutako nee-san doing?" A warm smile spread on his face "She's going to get married next month"

"Really?! That's great!" You say smiling, Tsutako is really nice when Giyuu took her to see you, of course you like her almost immediately "When Tsutako nee-san is married you and I are gonna be aunt and uncle!/uncles!" Giyuu chuckled and nodded "Yes we do, I'm so happy for her"

"Oh! Before I forget..." You began to shed a tear as it turn into a very beautiful pearl "Here Giyuu, I want Tsutako nee-san to have this" Giyuu was astonished "(Name) are you really sure?" You nodded and give the pearls to him "This is my token of appreciation, a thank you give for her, tell her I wish her to have a happy marriage" Giyuu smiled and held the pearl before he put it in his pocket "Tsutako nee-san will love this"

You smiled at him, then you both watch the horizon sky in peaceful silence, you scoot closer to Giyuu and lay your head on his shoulder, Giyuu smile and lay his head against yours "I'm going to miss this once I got to the demon slayer corps..." You pouted sadly since you know you won't see him for the time being "and I will miss you too, Giyuu..."

Giyuu looked at you wistfully and take your hand on his "You won't lose me, when I can, I will come back here to see you and tell you everything that happened..."

You looked at him

"...You promised"

He nodded solemnly as he remove the strand of your hair from your face "You have my word"

You smiled sadly at him, you tried to cherish the moment before he went back to the mountain again and you want to give him the thing you made for him since you know this day would come

"Giyuu, give me your hand"

Giyuu was a bit confused but he did anyways, you handed her a seashell with a pearl on it and there's an engraving on the pearl

義勇富岡

"My name?" You nodded happily "I remember how you teach me how to write your name, I made this so you could remember me when you see it" Giyuu smiled and held the beautiful seashell close to his heart "I will treasure this forever... Thank you, (name)"

You smiled and hugged him as you both witnessed the last sunset together...

"I loathe to say it..."

"Then don't..."

Giyuu sighed and went on his feet "But I must go, tomorrow I have to go back to training" you tried to not cry and stay strong knowing that you won't see him for a long time, "I wish you good luck, Giyuu..." You swim to the sea and give Giyuu one last fleeting look, he looked sad as he waved and mouthed "until we meet again"

You nod and dive back into the sea...

Month has passed, you keep waiting and waiting for Giyuu to come back, he's not coming... But that's not going to stop you from waiting for him.

But this time you're worried, for the first time you swim near the docks where Giyuu lived, you could hear many fishermen or people talking

"... unfortunate... really"

"...such shame...she was a nice young woman..."

...What?

You peer closer and try not to get their attention "Do you know Tomioka Tsutako? It's unfortunate that she's dead right before her wedding day"

...What...?!

"Yes, it's such a shame that she died before the day she became a blushing bride, pity her, pity her"

"That's why many youngster trade their lives for danger to put people's heart at ease and become demon Slayer"

"Come to think of it, her brother is one of them too, right?"

"I'm not sure yet, but let's hope that boy is alive and well"

You felt like being hit, Tsutako is...

...

With tears in your eyes you swim aimlessly to take your mind off the ugly possiblity that will happen to Giyuu, you stopped and climb on a reef, sitting on it and sing a sad melodies, you mourned, you mourned of your friend's death and thinking about Giyuu, how can he deal with this?

"Giyuu, please be okay..."

----

A year had passed and you still wait for Giyuu at the very same place all those year ago, and he still didn't came

Giyuu, where are you now? How are you now?

You looked at the horizon, it feels disrespectful when you see this beautiful scenery without Giyuu by your side, you still remember his smile and how his eyes gleam in happiness Everytime he talk to you

"Giyuu, I wish you were here..."

Your eyes wander around just in case you actually see him, and you did...You could see Giyuu sitting on the sea cliff, motionless"

Giyuu!!" You called at him, but he didn't hear you... You then noticed he pulled out his sword as he stood up near the cliff

...No

No!!

"GIYUU NO!!!"

Too late, he already plunge his sword into his stomach, he then fall backwards and plunge into the sea, you swim as fast as you could to save him, you looked around and see his body slowly sinking in to the deeper sea, sword still stuck on his stomach and the color of ugly red seeping out from his abdomen

Just a little more...!

You manage to grab him and quickly bring him to the shore, you lay him down carefully and pull out his sword from his stomach, you put your ear on his chest, his heart were beating weakly, he's gonna be a goner soon...

You took his red streaked blade and cut your wrist as you let if fall on his stomach, the cut on his stomach is healed and there's one thing you must do when he's awake

You got closer to him, you did a chest compressor so he could cough out all the water, when it's enough, you get even more closer to him and connect his lips with yours...

...

Giyuu coughed as air finally filled his lung he looked around and to find you looking at him with worry in your eyes

"(Name), it's you..."

"Yeah, it's me..."

And out of the blue you punched him, hard that he stumbled back, but he doesn't seem to react anything as if he deserves it

"You idiot!!! What the hell happened with your mind?! Why would you do such stupid thing?!" You pulled his collar as his blue eyes didn't even met yours "Answer me!!! Why did you do that?! Did you forget the promise we made here?! Am I nothing to you know?! Is it what Tsutako nee-san wants?! IS IT?!"

You were so sad and angry at him, guilt spread over his now expressionless face.

He should've know there's another person aside from Tsutako and Sabito who cares about him.

"...No..."

"Then why...?"

He looked at you with his empty blue eyes, you realize that there is no light inside it like you used to see "I have lost my sister and I have lost my best friend, I'm punishing myself because I'm not strong enough for them, and I know I'm not strong enough to even protect you, so I..."

You cut him off by hugging him tightly, hesitantly he put his arms around you and hold you like you're his lifeline

"Giyuu, you still have me no matter what happens..."

"I know...and I'm sorry..."

You both embraced each other in silence as you spoke up "Eat me, Giyuu"

...

"(Name), what do you mean?"

"Just eat me!! I can't bear the thought of you dying!!! I won't let anyone and demons kill you! You have to stay alive to protect innocent people from the demons!!"

You cupped his cheeks and pressed your forehead against his "I know this is very selfish of me to ask, but I want you to stay alive, for me, for Tsutako nee-san and your best friend..." Giyuu looked at you with mixed feelings "When the demons are eradicated, I want you to come back here, spending time together like we used to and tell me everything and if you're tired living as an immortal I'll be here" you say joked at the last part as you hugged him.

"(name)..."

"Go ahead, I'll be fine..."

With few hesitation, Giyuu bit your shoulder slowly before he began to "eat" you, blood dripping down from your shoulder, you could feel his tears against your shoulder as you assure him everything is going to be fine...

Then he stopped, he pulled away from you with mouth smeared with your blood, and tears running from his blue eyes "(Name) I'm sorry..."

"Don't be..." You smiled as you recovering slowly, but the bite mark on your shoulder remain there, you smiled at him "To remind me of you and knowing that one day you'll come back..." Giyuu then pulled you into his arms as you hug him back just as much...

Knowing that this is truly the last time you see him...

You patted away and go back to the water as you smiled at him "Run along now Giyuu, protect people with all your strength, no matter how long it takes, I'm here, I'm always here, waiting for you..."

He nodded as he wipe the blood off his mouth "I promise I will come back here..."

"You promised..." You smiled, tearing up.

"...See you soon, Tomioka Giyuu" you say as you dive back, Giyuu watch as you swim away.

"See you soon, (name)..." With that, he left the sea and go to where he belongs to.

Shinobu was speechless as he listen to Giyuu's story, she couldn't imagine what he's been through and what he's seen. "And does Oyakata-sama knows about your unusual condition?" Giyuu nods "He knows and he keep it a secret from everyone...which makes you the second person to know about this..."

He rummaged his pocket as he pulled out the memento you have him hundreds years ago, Shinobu watch in amazement as she saw it was still in perfect condition

"It's beautiful..."

And to her surprise, Giyuu smiled as he looked at it "It is..." The pearl were beautifully illuminated by the moonlight.

"This is what keeps me going...I promised her/him that I will come back once everything is settled"

It's definitely weird, but Shinobu couldn't hold back her smile "You sure secretly a softie, Tomioka-san"

"Be quiet, Kochō..."

Shinobu just chuckled as she and Giyuu keep basking under the moonlight, in his heart Giyuu promised that he will stay alive as long as he can no matter how cruel and painful life can be.

And someday soon, he surely will come back to you.
