aaaaa sanegiyuuuu 😞

imagine after the war, giyuu opening the door when he got a knock at 3am, bleary-eyed and tired, seeing sanemi standing there soaked to the bone. giyuu like wha are you okay come in ARE YOU CRYING- OH NO- and comforting him, getting tea and hurrying to get a towel and blanket, throwing logs and a couple matches into the fire place. sanemi exhausted and resting his head on the kotatsu(/table) as giyuu drapes a blanket over him and almost spilling tea everywhere in his haste. asking him what was wrong, hugs and cuddles. sanemi starting off mumbling incomprehensibly about genya and then saying iguro (?? giyuu couldn’t understand) and how they all left him alone and how he should’ve protected shinobu for kanae and how gyomei and sanemi used to be close-ish, at least they were friends, and then sanemi lapsing into a blubbering mess, falling asleep in giyuu’s arms with fresh salty tracks trailing down his cheeks. giyuu waking up later at noon with a note of apology and some salmon daikon<3

idk i dont see enough sanemi angst and i love him just collapsing w/ emotional exhaustion and going to giyuu for support 😞 i love them help

“Someone did a number on you this time, huh?” Two eyes searched his face, trying to catch his gaze and draw his attention closer.Sanemi didn’t let him see, kept his face turned to the side, and his sights on his lap. He didn’t answer Giyuu’s question, never acknowledged it, not with a grunt, or a shrug, or a sigh. He was silent.

Giyuu’s hands worked softly— delicately— on Sanemi’s abdomen. He’d came in hobbling, barely catching his breath, and with his hand over his side. Blood slivered down the gaps in his fingers, and Giyuu had thought the absolute worse.

“You’re lucky,” He continued after a few beats of silence. “Lucky that there wasn’t a bullet lodged in you.” His gaze flickered down to Sanemi’s muscular body, lingering at his chest for a moment before it fell on the white loops of bandages he’d just finished applying.

Sanemi remained silent before he finally rasped softly, “Can I get a drink?” And looked at Giyuu’s face.

“What for?”

“To numb the feeling.”

“Serves you right,” Giyuu narrowed his eyes, looking up again before Sanemi could avert his gaze. “Now you see the trouble your recklessness can get you into.”

“Please?” He forced his voice steady, and tilted his head downwards slightly, breathing in deeply through his nose to calm his racing heart. He saw a fire in Giyuu’s eyes, but unlike any he could see. It was blue, but it was searing, unlike the sky, or the faint tint of the moon..

He could see it waver, and then almost extinguish. Giyuu’s fingers brushed along his cheek, making him shiver at the suddenness. Giyuu was careful, and gently brushed his thumb across Sanemi’s much paler, much rougher skin.

“I’ll get you water,” He murmured. “Then, you can rest. I don’t want you to have any alcohol, okay?” He saw frustration briefly flash in Sanemi’s gaze, and soothed it with his thumb once more. “Do you want a room? It’s much better than this hard floor.”

Sanemi leaned into his hand a bit as he thought. The upstairs area to the saloon always had a few other people, and it irked him to think about. Right now, he wanted to be completely alone with Giyuu, as alone as he could get, at least.

“..You got your own room?” He asked, and Giyuu blinked at him.

“Yes,” He squinted at him a bit, like he was unsure. “..You wanna sleep in there?”

“Together.” He added quickly, and he grabbed onto Giyuu’s sleeves a bit more forcefully than he meant, if he even meant to at all. “..I don’t want to be alone.” He whispered, like it was a secret.

Giyuu stared at him, long enough to make Sanemi’s heart race. He worried that he’d been too.. too much, he guessed. He worried that he’d weirded Giyuu out.

He as surprised when Giyuu chuckled, and gently set his hands over his. “How else would we be sleeping? It’s my room.” He tilted his head at him a moment after, smiling warmly. “Are you alright? It’s okay, Sanemi—

Sanemi shivered and let him go, pulling his hands away and then nodding. “Yeah, can we just go to sleep?” He blurted, shifting around to pull himself up.

Pain shot through his side, and he grunted, swaying forwards and squeezing his eyes shut, bracing himself for a fall that was sure to come, and sure to hurt.

But that didn’t happen. Hands caught him and stopped his fall, his head was spinning, but he managed to hear a gentle voice soothe his ears.

“..Easy, Sanemi. You’re going to make yourself sick. Let me help you, just relax.”

He breathed shakily as a hand gently slid over his back, and around to press at his ribs gently. The other reached down, grabbing his hand, intertwining their fingers. “..Why are you doing this—“

Giyuu cut him off quickly. “Just push yourself up for me, I got you.”

Sanemi, with some strain, managed to lift himself to his feet while Giyuu gently held him, making it at least a bit easier to do so.

Giyuu led him slowly, holding his hand in his, squeezing to let him know that he really was there. He was quiet, but the touch was all Sanemi needed. Giyuu let go of his hand briefly to open his bedroom door, but before Sanemi’s heart could sink lower, Giyuu’s hand was back, and it’s grasp was firm.

Once sat down at the edge of the bed, Giyuu crouched down and removed Sanemi’s boots, then gently easing him back.

Sanemi felt airy and light the moment he laid down, his head sinking into the pillow below him. When Giyuu’s hand loosened, threatening to slip from his own, he squeezed and opened his eyes. It was embarrassing, but he wanted to stay connected. He wanted their fingers to remain intertwined, and he wanted Giyuu to remain close. He looked up at Giyuu’s face, and paused when he saw his eyes.

They were like two rising suns. Warm and glowing, heating his skin after a cold night the moment they landed on him, making his core feel like it was blooming with comfort. He felt guilty for holding onto Giyuu so tight, for refusing to let him go, for coming back in such rough shape, and worrying him to no end. What did he, Sanemi, do to deserve such a calming look? What had he ever given to be rewarded by the gods above?..

“Don’t let go.” He whispered.

“I won’t.” Giyuu whispered back. “It’s okay. Go to sleep.. You look beat.” He reached down with his free hand, and brushed Sanemi’s bangs back to get a better look at his face. Sanemi’s forehead was warm, which was worrisome. After a pause, Giyuu added, “Rest will make your recovery smoother.”

“You’ll be here, won’t you?” Sanemi fought back at the tug that pulled his eyelids down. He was itching for sleep, he wouldn’t lie, but he didn’t want to wake up alone.

“I’ll be here.” Giyuu responded softly, rubbing his thumb over his forehead. “Just please rest.”

Sanemi sighed through his nose, finally letting his eyes slip shut. The feelings faded from his body as darkness quickly enveloped him.. and he sunk into a quiet sleep..

[applepie-enthusiast]

Imagine in an au where Giyuu had more time to try and do his "ohagi in my sleeve" stunt to be friends with Sanemi.

Giyuu will most definitely do it any opportunity he can, which is not too many chances anyway.

Whenever he passes by Sanemi, he would try and offer Sanemi an ohagi.

First time it happened, Sanemi seemed visibly shocked, but the latter's expression immediately became sour, irritation reflecting in his face.

"What the fuck are you trying to do?!"

"Ohagi." Giyuu replied, the treat in his hand still being offered, but Sanemi turned the other way instead.

A few more tries and attempts at making friends with Sanemi occured, but to no avail.

The last time it happened, Sanemi was having a rough day after encountering that Kamado kid and Genya.

In happenstance, when he turned to a corner, he saw Giyuu, offering him another ohagi.

In an outburst of emotions, he gritted his teeth and violently swatted the ohagi out of Giyuu's hand, an action that visibly surprised Giyuu, and he realized the consequences of his actions a moment after when Giyuu wordlessly picked it up after being frozen for a few seconds. Giyuu nurtured it in his hand, holding it tenderly before he turned his back against Sanemi.

And then Giyuu walked away.

"Tomio—"

"It's alright, Shinazugawa. I apologize." And then he was gone.

Sanemi couldn't stop about that event even if forced himself to.

Tomioka's shocked face, and the day his expression relaxed into resignation, his shoulder slumped, and the slow way he picked up the treat.

More than giving up on giving Sanemi that treat,

It seemed Tomioka gave up on something else.

And it was because of him.

Thinking about it, Sanemi realised that out of all the others that Tomioka could possibly befriend, Tomioka chose him.

Sanemi wanted to apologize in whatever way he could, even if not through words like "sorry." He would just talk to Tomioka.

But then infinity castle happened.

Imagine right after the battle. Sanemi took time to recover and reconnected with everyone.

Everyone except Giyuu.

Because he found out Giyuu was in a coma.

He wouldn't wake up, and oh, how Sanemi sat by his side on multiple days, and one day,

Sanemi reached out and held Giyuu's unmoving hand, and smiled.

Through his broken voice, he whispered,

"Tomioka, wake up. I'll accept the ohagi you want to give now. Just... just wake up..."

More post chapter 204 giyuu (slight sanegiyuu btw) because honestly??? It's so satisfying to see him finally getting a new life ❤️

And i have this little headcanon that after ch. 204, giyuu smiles a lot more and kinda likes teasing sanemi

[tomiokas-lunchbox]

Hands

At 8 years old, Giyuu never thought much about his hands. They were meant to pick up, carry and grab things with. His big sister Tsutako would pull him alongside her by the hand. He thought his hands were small and nothing special.

At age 10, he met a boy named Sanemi. Sanemi also had two hands of course. Giyuu would watch Sanemi carry one of his younger siblings named Genya around with them. How he would use them to dig around for rhinoceros beetles. How Sanemi would use them to skip small flat rocks across the surface of a nearby lake. Giyuu never thought much of Sanemi's hands. Hands that had the same functions as his own, and the same tiny dimples along the knuckles.

But the first time they both reach for the perfect pebble near the lakeshore, their hands lightly brush against each other's. Giyuu can't help but feel the tiny sparks of that accidental touch.

Years later at age 17, Sanemi reaches for Giyuu's hand to intertwine the two as they walk to a nearby soba noodle shop. Giyuu's in awe of how a simple touch, can give him so much warmth and comfort.

At age 27, Giyuu stands opposite the love of his life while reciting his vows. He carefully slides a solid gold band on Sanemi's left ring finger. Now when he looks down at Sanemi's hands, he doesn't just see a boy that used to dig for rhinoceros beetles, or skip pebbles across a lake. Instead, all those years later, Giyuu sees his forever in those hands.

For the sake of my sanegiyu heart i would like to request lee giyu and ler sanemi if that's alright with you

I’ve gotcha covered, anons! Ahh, my Sanegiyuu heart is soaring right now! I hope y’all like it!

@myreygn @thatbigbisexual29 @duckymcdoorknob @wolfyeatstacos @gladdygirl18 @baby-tickles2022 @cupcake-spice13 @backy-san

“I don’t know, you’re kind of cute.”

“What?” Sanemi looked at him.

“What?” Giyu looked back.

~~~

“That oversized rock of a freaking Hashira- where the hell does he get off!” Sanemi fumed as he stormed into the scene. Giyu, who had been waiting for his training partner to arrive, snapped to attention, blinking away the beginnings of sleep.

“Hello, Shinazugawa-san.” He nodded. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong!” Sanemi snarled, going to get his wooden sword. “Come on, let’s do this.”

Giyu didn’t move, eyes narrowing.

“What are you-” Sanemi blinked, staring back at the glare. “What?”

Silence.

“Come on, Tomioka!”

More silence.

“Ehh…Sorry. I shouldn’t have snapped at you.” Sanemi ran a hand through his hair, cheeks reddening. “Will you train with me?”

“Thank you. I will.” Giyu nodded, standing to gather his things. “What’s got you so upset today anyway?”

“I told you, it’s nothing.” Sanemi waved off the other’s concern, taking a stance. “Just focus on trying not to die.”

“Sounds like Tengen made you mad.” Giyu spoke as he struck, their wooden weapons making a loud crack. “You normally don’t call people ‘oversized rocks’”.

“Shut up and focus-'' Sanemi dodged a well aimed jab, bringing his sword down. Giyu twisted out of range just in time. “I don’t care about that jerk!”

“So he did make you mad.” Giyu hummed, moving forward on the defensive. “Tengen likes to do that. He’s rather provoking, yes?”

“I don’t want to talk about that piece of-” Sanemi distanced himself, blocking another attack. “Damn, you’re better today.”

“No, you’re just too mad to focus.” Giyu replied calmly, going for another swing. Then Sanemi did the unthinkable.

Dropping low, he tossed his sword aside before kicking Giyu’s leg out. The water Hashira yelped as he tumbled back- the front of his uniform grabbed by a scarred hand as he was dropped to the ground, Sanemi on top.

“I told you to drop it.” Sanemi growled, inches from his face.

“I don’t want to.” Giyu raised a stubborn chin. A centimeter closer and he could have kissed the other.

Wait…what?

Sanemi, as if realizing the same thing, sat up quickly. “Well, I do. Forget about that- I came here to get away from that stupid oaf and his bullshit.” Sanemi sounded gruff, his cheeks still noticeably pink.

“You swear a lot.” Giyu sat up as well, resting on his elbows as he furrowed his brow. “You do that more when you're really angry.”

“Tomioka-”

“If you're angry, you can’t focus. If you can’t focus, then we’re wasting time training.” Giyu replied calmly. “Tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help.”

“Tch. You, help me?” Sanemi almost laughed at the idea. When he saw the other’s face fall, he lowered his head with a groan. “Fine, fine you win. I…got into a fight with Tengen.”

“Figured.” Giyu replied, earning a side eye. “Continue.” Giyu gestured him on.

“He was being annoying as usual- talking about his wives and all that. I politely told him-”

“Politely?” Giyu blinked.

“Do you want me to break your jaw or not?” Sanemi growled. Giyu pressed his lips shut.

“Anyway, I told him to shut the hell up because he was being loud and obnoxious. He then told me he pitied me because I’d probably die alone!” Sanemi gritted his teeth, clearly pissed. “Me! Die alone! As if he went out and wooed any of the wives he has! They were all picked for him!”

“I think Suma volunteered…” Giyu’s comment was lost in Sanemi’s anger.

“He then told me I’d probably scare off anyone who looks my way! He said I look like a bridge troll! A BRIDGE TROLL!” Sanemi crossed his arms with a huff, glaring into the horizon. “I am way better than any bridge troll…”

“I don’t know, I think you’re kinda cute.”

“What?” Sanemi turned back.

“What?” Giyu looked back before averting his gaze. Damn- of all the times for Sanemi to pay attention.

“No, not what. What did you just say?” Sanemi asked again, eyes narrowing. “You just said something, didn’t you?”

“No, nothing at all.” Giyu waved him off. “It was the wind.”

“I am the wind.”

“Okay, Fujin.”

“Tch- you son of a-” Sanemi glared, clearly irritated. ‘Come on- walk away.’ Giyu internally begged. ‘Leave.’

Instead of doing so, Sanemi’s gaze turned suspicious. He scooted back on Giyu’s hips, reaching down and jabbing his side. “Tell me.”

“Eh! What are you doing?” Giyu flinched, unprepared for the sudden poke.

“I said tell me.” Sanemi jabbed him again, moving up so he was aiming for ribs. “I want to know.”

“There’s nothing to tell- ah! Stop that.” Giyu went to grab his hand, but Sanemi was faster, taking his wrist and pushing it over his head. “Sanemi!”

“Oh, we’re finally on a first name basis now, are we?” Sanemi grinned, clearly pleased. “Finally got off that high horse of yours?” He poked him again and again, growing amused at Giyu’s squirming. “Tell me what you said!”

“It’s nohothing! Sanemi, get oohohoff!” Giyu arched when those fingers moved towards the back of his ribs, starting to claw. “Dooohohhon’t tickle mhehehe!”

“Don’t tell me what to do. I won’t stop until you tell me what you said!” Sanemi pinched at his shoulder blade. “Come on, make this easier on yourself.”

Giyu squeaked beneath him, squirming too and from as Sanemi went for some of his worst spots. Were ticklish shoulder blades a thing? He supposed they were now. “Sahahahahahanemihihihihi, cuhuhuhuhut it ohohohohohohut!”

“Not until you tell me what you said. Give in, Giyu; make things easier on yourself.” Hearing his name spoken by the other made him flush for an entirely new reason. He had to get out of this. With one last resort, he shoved forward and-

“AH! Ahehehehhahahha! Hehehey, yohohohu can’t dohooho thahhahat!” Sanemi doubled over in a fit of giggles, reaching for the hand currently clawing at his belly. “Nohohohoho wahahhahahit!”

“So I’m not the only one who’s ticklish.” Giyu sounded smug. “Good to know.”

“Yoohohohohu shut your mouhuhuhuhhuth!” Sanemi snorted through his giggle fits, bringing the hand holding Giyu’s wrist down so he could squeeze beneath his ribs, making the brunette shriek with laughter. His hands immediately retracted to Sanemi’s wrists, struggling to pull them away. “There, that’s what I wanted to see.”

“SAHAHHAHANEMIHIHIHIIHI!” Giyu cried out, head thrown back and feet kicking helplessly against the dirt ground. There was no way he could keep going. “FIIHIIIHIHNE I’LL TEHHEHEHELL YOOHOHOHOU!”

“Promise?” Sanemi asked.

“PROHOOHOHMISE!”

“....Really promise?”

“SAHHAHAHNEMI!”

“Hehe, okay okay.” The wind Hashira finally stopped, pulling his hands back and letting them rest comfortably on Giyu’s stomach. “So, ready to tell me? Or are we gonna go for round 2?” He pressed gently into the soft skin, making Giyu shiver with a breathless giggle.

“I’ll talk…hahaang on…” Giyu huffed out, running a hand through his bangs. Finally, when he felt like he could speak, he dared to meet Sanemi’s gaze. “I said…you’re kind of cute.”

Sanemi seemed to freeze at the statement, eyes wide.

The silence that followed felt agonizing. Giyu regretted opening his mouth.

“Sorry…forget I said anything.” He began to wiggle away, but Sanemi’s hand on his chest stopped him in his tracks.

“Wait…wait- give me a second.” Sanemi looked and sounded flustered; face flushed as he shoved a hand through his bangs. “You…you mean that? Seriously?”

“I do…I wouldn’t joke about things like that.” Giyu nodded, feeling his own face start to burn. His heart was racing a mile a minute. He briefly wondered if Sanemi’s was doing the same.

“Heh…wow, okay.” Sanemi cleared his throat. Then a second time. Despite his best efforts, the blush remained, along with the beginning of a warm smile. “Thank you…hey wait a second!” He turned with a glare. “What the hell do you mean ‘kinda’?”

“I mean…for a bridge troll you're fairly cute.” Giyu shrugged, giggling when Sanemi mock gasped.

“Oh you little shit-” Sanemi’s fingers dug into his stomach, making Giyu squeal and cackle once more. “Take that back! Take it!”

“Fihihihine fihihihine you’re cuuhuuhute! Yohoohohur more thahahahahn cuhuhuhuhute!” Giyu cried out, pawing at the other’s hands. “Yoohohohohur’re hoohohohohot!”

“Damn right I am!” Sanemi grinned as he stopped once more, watching Giyu gasp for air. “Don’t you forget it!”

‘Eheh…hehehe…I’m suuhuhure you wohoohn’t let mehehe.” Giyu groaned, earning another small yet warm smile. Then Sanemi did the unexpected.

Leaning down, he pressed a quick peck to Giyu’s lips, daring a grin when the other flushed scarlet. “Just so you know…I think you’re pretty cute too.”

Sword practice was long forgotten after that.

Thanks for reading!

Your Eyes Remind Me of a Sad Flower On A Dewy Day

💧 Giyuu POV 💧

(Sanegiyuu!!)

(Little TW for implied depression!!)

Rest. 

No matter how much I got, I was still fatigued. Life felt like such a blur, I couldn’t remember anything from the day before. I couldn’t remember what time I fell asleep, what time I woke up, when was the last time I’d bathed, when was the last time I ate something, or drank water. 

I was laying in my futon, facing away from the shut door. My hair was a mess, free from its usual ponytail. I didn’t know what was bothering me, everything just felt atrocious to live through. Especially when you had to see innocent people get murdered in front of your eyes, every single mission. 

I could hear the birds chirping outside, as I took a chasmic breath. I turned onto my back, looking up at the ceiling. What time was it again? I couldn’t remember. I hadn’t moved from my bedroom in the past few days, I couldn’t at all think of the exact amount. 

My weary eyes just stared up at the ceiling, so much so that I didn’t notice the shadow standing at the door, before, it slid open. Sunlight poured into the room, the golden-white beams hitting me like a load of rocks. I winced a bit, covering my eyes with my arm. 

“Tomioka”, I heard a gruff voice say. I looked towards the door, before I laid my eyes upon the tall figure of Sanemi. What on earth was he doing here? “I’m not in the mood for sparing today”, I mumbled, turning over again, so I was facing away from him. 

“That… ugh, that’s not what I’m here for”, Sanemi scoffed, before I heard the small patter of footsteps stride towards me. “I just wanted to bring something for you”. The phrase shocked me, giving me enough energy to sit up in my futon, before I noticed what Sanemi was holding in his hand, a bowl. 

“What’s that?”, I asked, the smell was recognizable, before, it clicked. “Salmon daikon, I just… I just thought you might enjoy some”, Sanemi’s words weren’t as aggressive, not at all, his tone was more like a blank slate, yet, it held an idyllic and gentle ring to it. 

I felt surprised when Sanemi placed the bowl on the ground, before he sat down next to me. “Oh… uhm, thank you”, I thanked him, before I brought the bowl into my lap. There was a pair of chopsticks in the bowl, that I picked up, the smooth wood was a nostalgic feeling against my finger tips. 

I lifted a piece of salmon from the bowl, and into my mouth, savouring the slightly sweet flavour. “Mhm… it’s good…”, I said, looking over at Sanemi, who was watching me intently. “Yeah, I’d imagine it is” “do you want a bite?”, I asked, picking up another piece of the salmon. 

Sanemi paused, eyeing the salmon. “Yeah, sure”, Sanemi said, before I lifted the piece of salmon to his mouth. “Aye! Don’t feed it to me! I’m not a child!” “Just eat it”. Sanemi scoffed, seeming to swallow his pride, before he opened his mouth. I fed him the piece of salmon, feeling my heart flutter as I did so. 

Sanemi chewed the salmon, seeing how my eyes were on me. “Why’re looking at me?”, Sanemi called me out, making me feel a bit surprised. “Oh, I just wanted to see if you also liked the salmon”. He seemed to buy my excuse. 

Sanemi’s pale purple eyes were on me, as we watched me eat. “You look happy”, Sanemi commented, almost airily. “I am, that’s why”, I mumbled, as I continued to eat the daikon. For maybe the first time, I felt genuinely happy in Sanemi’s presence. I looked over at Sanemi, seeing as his cheeks bloomed with a faint pink colour. 

“You want another bite?”, I asked him, feeling softer next to him. “No thanks, I made it for you, not me”, Sanemi said, before he processed what he had spoken. “You… made this for me?”, I repeated, feeling my heart pound. A warmth spread throughout my body, one I haven’t felt before. 

“Yeah, I did, I was just… a bit worried”, Sanemi admitted with a gentle expression. I gripped the chopsticks, feeling my cheeks grow hot as I pursed my lips. “I appreciate that”, I let him know, before I felt my lips curl into a small smile. 

I heard Sanemi’s breath hitch, before his hand came up to my hair. “You should take a nap, you look tired”, Sanemi spoke, as I sighed from contentment when he ran his fingers through my messily, raven locks, almost combing them out. 

“I will, don’t worry”, I said, before Sanemi pulled his hand away, and standing up from the floor. “I need to go, Kocho said she wants to see me”, Sanemi informed me, before… he smiled, almost awkwardly. “Take care of yourself, m’kay?”, he said, before walking out my door, leaving it open, to let some sunlight into the room. 

“Yeah…”, my whisper was delayed, before I looked down at the bowl of salmon daikon. I felt a tear slip down my cheek, not one of sadness, but a rare feeling of happiness. Sanemi cared, and he expressed it, this is what falling in love feels like, isn’t it?

And that night, Sanemi came back, to find Giyu fast asleep, he looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. The bowl that was once filled with salmon daikon was now empty, which made Sanemi feel his stomach flip. And he just couldn’t help himself, Sanemi pressed his index and middle finger to his lips, before he touched those fingers to Giyu’s cheek. One day, he’d be able to kiss Giyu, but for now, that would do, right? 

A/N: Whos gonna be my Sanemi? I genuinely love this ship, they're so cute AHHHHHHH, anyways, I hope you enjoyed!! <3

A very sweet commission for the sweet @tomiokas-lunchbox 🥰💕

[thefinalhashira-angrysag]

A quick little drawing I did for chapter 2 of my ao3 Sanegiyuu fic ‘Together Is The Nicest Place To Be’ the chapter is still being written but I couldn’t wait to share this pic

[dunesya]

UGH

What's the point of an office job if there is ACTUAL work preventing me from finishing my fanfiction ?

[xxlady-lunaxx]

(DOMESTIC) SANEGIYUU HEADCANONS

Sanemi is ALWAYS the one cooking

I’m sorry but I can only see Giyuu fucking up scrambled eggs or something. Sanemi cooks (or bakes) like a professional

Giyuu having a bedhead (he’s adorable) and Sanemi waking him up by either:

throwing a pillow on his face

running his hands through his hair and a “good morning, shithead”

One or the other, no in betweens

Sanemi usually does the chores like laundry, cooking, etc (malewife<33)

Giyuu can do things if given clear instructions tho

Hmm showering together just as a habit

If either of them were mad at the other (or they js fought) before bed, they’ll probably distance themself on the futon

When they wake up they’re always cuddling though

ouugh yes they share a bed

(it was so awkward at first like “ok… i’ll have this side” but then they got comfy and steal each other’s pillows (so romantic smh))

Sanemi definitely holds a longer grudge

Giyuu gets upset if he gets ignore too long, though, and Sanemi eventually caves

Why do I feel like Sanemi would just take pictures or videos of Giyuu randomly

When he’s asleep, when he’s just woken up, when he’s eating, doesn’t matter

Because Sanemi’s in charge of meals usually, Giyuu only gets salmon daikon once a week (which is already a lot as is, but he begs Sanemi for it so…)

Sanemi used to braid/put up his siblings hair a lot and when the two are cuddling, sometimes he makes little braids in Giyuu’s hair, or pulls it up in a high ponytail (often Giyuu wakes up with braids and his hair gets a lil wavy when he takes it out later)

Giyuu’s the baby in the relationship you cant change my mind. He’s the little spoon; he’s being carried because he’s tired; he’s given breakfast in bed.

Sanemi honestly doesn’t mind (he’s used to this) but likes teasing Giyuu about it

Giyuu has a bow of Tsutako’s (he stole a spare) and wears it to formal places always. (job interview? bow. prom? bow. work? bow.)

Sometimes Giyuu helps Sanemi hang up the laundry but they somehow end up hugging always (Giyuu goes on the other side of the clothing line and ThEIr lEgS juST mOVed By THemSElf)

On weekends, when there’s nothing to do, Sanemi will just scroll through his phone and Giyuu watching TV

Giyuu can NEVER not fall asleep during a movie though. depends on the day but he’ll either fall asleep 20 mins in or half way through

Sanemi doesn’t really watch movies and just slowly turns down the volume then off to not startle him awake

I can see Sanemi just volunteering to babysit for their friends (for free<3) and just having a box full of children’s toys for when they come over

Giyuu once overfed a baby to near sickness (“I thought her grabby hands were for more :(“ - “YOU IDIOT, SHE WAS TRYING TO PUSH AWAY THE BOTTLE!!”) and was thereafter forbidden to care for the children (unless they were older than, like, 12)

After a stressful day at work, Giyuu likes flopping down on the couch and having Sanemi run his hands through his hair and hum a bit, maybe small talk

I think Giyuu is actually an open book and horrible at hiding his emotions (like canonically as a child he was like that, only the deaths changed him sooo) whilst Sanemi is better at hiding things

But like after years of living with Sanemi/js being with him, Giyuu has been able to see small telltales

When he’s lying, Sanemi’s eyes flick every so slightly away (so subtly that only a few have caught it before), when he’s upset, he’s a little clingier or his voice is calmer (though many people interpret it as tiredness), when he’s angry but trying to stay calm he’ll probably have a lot of clenched fists (his hand opening and closing x100) but behind his back haha

Why can I see them both as dry texters tho.

Giyuu tries to sound more upbeat by adding emojis/emoticons but overall it’s basically just “Ok 😁👍❤️😋😚✨🎆🎉🎊🎏🍩🔥” // 😭 yeah he doesn’t have a lot of people to text…

I can also see Sanemi being a little old fashioned in a way, idk… He knows perfectly fine how to use a phone and shit but for some time mostly sent letters (except for casual/small talk ofc)

ok that’s it i can’t think of anything else anymore!!

very few sanemi vs sabito ideas for that AU part 2 (part 1)

in that particular joint mission that sanemi and giyuu were in, that sabito willingly crashed into, sabito finds ways to piss off sanemi (while loving giyuu genuinely)

one great example is when the three of them are all sitting together and giyuu eats messily, with rice all over his lips and cheeks, sabito would smile fondly and whisper, "geez, you're helpless, giyuu" as he grabs a cloth and gently wipes the crumbs off giyuu's face

sanemi, not wanting to lose, looks at giyuu straight in the eye and says, "stop eating so messily, dumbass! a kid eats better than you!", with it sounding harsher than intended.

"it's his endearing trait! a real man should acknowledge everyone's eccentricity!" sabito exclaims, comically hugs giyuu closer, much to sanemi's annoyance while giyuu just wants to eat his soba

during the mentioned times when pillars would eat outside, with giyuu always eating messily, and sabito doing the same silly thing, sanemi has had enough of it (not to mention he's drunk as fuck, they all are) and that time he lost control, in front of others, he reached out to giyuu across the table, leaned over the food, and lapped his tongue on giyuu's cheeks in a futile attempt to remove the stupid crumbs off his face

sanemi, flustered yet had an irritated yet surprisingly sincere expression, whispered to giyuu, "stop being messy, stupid..."

suffice to say everyone was shocked. shinobu had a hand close to her lips as she said, "oh my..."

tengen whistled amusedly,

rengoku exclaims how "young love is beautiful",

mitsuri covers mui's eyes but mui is already asleep after eating a lot of food (and obv not drinking), while she herself is blushing too hard, gasping in excitement

obanai glares at giyuu who's confused as fuck why obanai is mad at him

gyomei pets a stray cat that wandered beside their table

sabito wasn't amused but he didn't let it slide, especially when he saw the faintest blush on giyuu's cheeks

sabito slammed his hand on the table with enough force to have everyone's attention on him

"men shouldn't do scandalous things like that to the person they like!" he exclaims, "you're a pillar, for god's sake!"

now, giyuu's attention is focused on sabito, seemingly now confused to know that sabito implied that sanemi likes him.

"hey! hey! what if we vote on who we want tomioka-san to end up with?" mitsuri, clearly drunk, intervenes with her cheerful smile and raised hand, getting everyone's attention

and then everyone voted, in their drunken haze,

Team sanemi: obanai, tengen

Team sabito: mitsuri, rengoku

gyomei opted out of it saying 'they should figure it out by themselves...'

mui is asleep

shinobu said she'll be Team Tomioka bc she actually sincerely enjoys giyuus company here and thinks he "shouldn't be alone even in voting" so instead she came up with having sanemi and sabito be on separate dates with giyuu so giyuu can decide who to date

it was decided that the three of them would be free from their pillar duties for a total of one (1) night, oyakata-sama allowed it (he's a wingman stop me), sabito on the first half of the night and sanemi on the second half

sabito's strategy involved taking giyuu on a date on places he and giyuu hanged out on when they were kids

he knew everything giyuu liked and wanted, including his favorite restaurant, favorite food, favorite scenery to watch, and even how giyuu secretly liked festivals, especially the fireworks scheduled late at night. but sabito knew his allotted time with giyuu ends soon before sanemi's turn and he wouldn't make it in time to watch it with giyuu so instead he takes giyuu to the mountains to view his favorite scenery

the mountains were dark but just below them are pretty light illuminating the entire festivals that had giyuu had his eyes sparkle at the beauty of it all. sabito just gazed at giyuu lovingly, and before he knew it, he reached for giyuu's hand and entwined their fingers together. giyuu finally looked at where their hands connect and was about to look up to ask sabito why but sabito slowly leaned down, and kissed him on the lips. giyuu didn't pull away, his eyes widened but soon he relaxes into the kiss and closes his eyes. it was brief but it felt longer for sabito, who's heart is beating so loudly and so fast, he hoped giyuu was feeling the same.

when they pulled away, sabito confessed, "giyuu, i love you."

giyuu opened his lips, closed them, and then smiled, "i love you too, sabito."

unbeknownst to them, sanemi was already close because it's his time already to be with giyuu. but instead he saw them kiss and he heard giyuu reciprocate. his heart felt like it was torn to shreds. Not being able to take it anymore, he started averting his gaze from them and walked away silently.

but he wasn't able to hear giyuu's continuation. "But sabito... I hope you understand I'm still figuring out what I feel." Sabito understood, and kissed giyuu's forehead instead, and said that it's okay, he can wait. meanwhile it was sanemi's time. sabito reassured giyuu that sanemi would arrive soon. so he left, not knowing sanemi had no further plans of showing up.

meanwhile, giyuu stood patiently, not even flinching or straying away from his spot, but just wandered what sanemi is doing and why he is taking so long. and then the loud bang of the fireworks, along its series of beautiful lights filled up the sky.

"what a noisy thing that is." giyuu intuitively and quickly looked for the source of the unfamiliar voice, and saw a demon smiling wickedly at him, he had red hair, and what seemed like tattoos all over his body. but what was prominent on him was his unusual eyes, with "Upper Moon Three" etched in them.

"you're a pillar, aren't you?" giyuu's hand itches for his nichirin sword, but it wasn't with him.

back to sanemi, who was busy staring at the stalls everywhere, until he saw sabito running at him full-speed. sanemi was about to ignore him, but sabito had that angry, yet almost very terrified expression on his face whilst he shouted, "SHINAZUGAWA!!! WHY DID YOU LEAVE GIYUU ALONE?! HE WAS WAITING!!!"

sanemi's eyes widened when he heard the tell tale shattering of his heart, he didn't have time to react to sabito's fist hitting his face, but all he could think of was giyuu.

To be continued.

Sanemi & Giyuu were about 16-17 when they both individually went on an undercover mission in the Kaze no Kuni capital city, they henged/disguised as fake personas Kazura (vaguely derived from kaze, wind) and Nakuu ('to lose')

Kazura is supposed to be darker skinned + two-toned eyes like that of Kazan no Kuni descendants & is sensible and confident but lazy, Nakuu has a hairstyle + facial shape from Mizu no Kuni & an outgoing enthusiastic and pretty sly personality

Giyuu put some particular effort into his disguise and really got into the character he was playing up, he also had fun with it where he could- and thats how he met Kazura. i dont have or really want specifics of why where how or such bc it ruins the imaginative bit of it ig? but while they were on the mission they were meeting up, they both knew the other was disguised but neither pried about it. they fell in love a bit, however it means, but as Nakuu's namesake they were never going to last. it was a mission and when it was done they would leave for home and never meet again.

but then they did :)

at 19 sanemi and giyuu had a political marriage arranged(forced) by Kyogo being a greedy fuck and wanting more trade from the Tomioka, in both the Happy & Broken marriage paths giyuu's the one who notices sanemi acting the same way as kazura in some ways and realizes the two are one in the same. In the Happy marriage its a thought that brings a smile to his face and a jest about how they fell in love twice, in the Broken marriage its only twice the heartbreak after the apathy sanemi regards him with and the loneliness that consumes him
