    Summary

    Giyuu is asleep on his side, head turned towards Tanjirou, close enough that Tanjirou would barely need to stretch to touch him.

    Tanjirou just looks—

    —and the wonder sets in slowly, like dawn gradually seeping colour into the darkness of the night.

    Summary

    Giyuu's breathing stays steady as he pushes the sheets away and sits up; his nichirin blade is lying ever ready beside his bed, because a demon slayer without a blade is soon a dead slayer, and he turns to reach for it—

    —but something catches on Giyuu's yukata, pulling, and Giyuu glances over his shoulder, startled.

    The first thing Giyuu notes is that Tanjirou's eyes are still closed. The second thing he notes is that his yukata sleeve is not snagged in the sheets or against the tatami floor but caught quite firmly by Tanjirou's hand. The third is not an observation but an interpretation: it seems Tanjirou's instinct is to keep Giyuu close, something that stays true even when he is unconscious.

    Summary

    You always find me, Giyuu says once, as he’s busy dressing a long scratch on Tanjirou’s cheek – a parting gift from a thorny berry bush, Tanjirou’s stubborn will to get the very last piece of fruit, and his offset eyesight. Tanjirou falls down steps, runs into furniture and walls alike, but he never misjudges distances when he is reaching for Giyuu, his hand finding Giyuu’s as easily as breathing.

    Tanjirou stays still long enough for Giyuu to tape the small bandage in place, and then smiles. My sense of smell is better than my sense of sight, you know, he says. Even if I was completely blind, I will always find you.

     

    (Giyuu and Tanjirou, and life after the final battle with Muzan. This story diverges from canon at KnY Chapter 199; Chapters 201+ does not happen in this verse).

    Summary

    Rumor has it that Kamado Tanjirou was crushing on somebody. Most of the Pillars think it’s them.

    Except Giyuu, of course.

    Or, the five times the Pillars tried to fish the truth out of Tanjirou, and the time one of them finally had enough.

    Summary

    Tomioka Giyu has been acting… strange. At least, that’s what Tanjiro keeps telling himself every time the Water Hashira does something baffling.

    Or: Five times Tanjiro couldn’t figure Giyu out, and one time he finally did.
