Summary
Sanemi, the prince of the Wind Kingdom, is getting married. He's not fond of it, but he'd be a fool to pass up an opportunity like this, he knows that for sure.
He does not know that Giyuu, his betrothed, has a secret: He's carrying a curse.

Summary
It’s a bit difficult, going to Tanjiro and Kanao’s wedding. Not because Giyuu isn’t happy for them, or because the venue is hard to find, no, nothing like that.
It’s because this will be the first time he’s going to see Sanemi since the other had left Japan nearly five years ago.

Summary
This is the worst-case scenario.
Almost a year ago, Giyuu was revealed to be one of the nine Champions destined to unlock powers and the acceptance of a Divine Beast, using them to help the Sun Kingdom’s warrior take down Muzan—the Calamity. He was nervous, but hopeful, at first.
But now, the Calamity's return is coming, and Giyuu is the only one keeping them unprepared.

Summary
Sanemi has to face it. For all he knows, Giyuu could be dead, could’ve been dead the moment the monster struck him, and Sanemi wouldn’t even know it. He’ll never know it, either, because he can’t use magic to sense if Giyuu’s okay, he can’t physically move to him, and he’s going to die here without holding Giyuu again or knowing what happened to the rest of their friends.
The rumbling in the distance reaches the arena, and as the ground shakes, Sanemi closes his eyes, hoping that Giyuu knows how much he’s always loved him, even though they couldn’t reach each other at the end of all things.

Summary
Giyuu sits quietly on a bench outside his office building, a slightly younger soldier beside him. He’s been tasked with helping the other through grief counseling since he’s had his fair share of it. The counseling, yes, but especially the grief.
A small sequel to "what was entrusted to me."

Summary
“Hello, Sanemi,” Kagaya smiles softly from the other couch. “Thank you for agreeing to meet again. It’s been a while, no?”
Sanemi tries not to think about how these visits always feel like therapy appointments. He fails miserably. “Three months,” he nods as he tosses a tennis ball in the air and catches it. It’s the longest they haven’t met since—well, since Giyuu died.

“What do you think of Shinazugawa?” Kanae asks once she and Giyuu are alone as they exit the estate. Giyuu shrugs. He hopes he doesn’t live to see him die.

Summary
“I’m sleepy,” Giyuu says suddenly, and Sanemi really can’t fight his grin.
“You can sleep, Giyuu, the drive’s another thirty minutes.”
“No, I can’t,” Giyuu responds, wounded. “Who’s…who’s gonna stay up with you?” He pouts, never mind the fact that all three of the kids are sitting behind him, wide awake.
aka: Giyuu just got top surgery, and the resulting anesthesia has made him adorable.

Summary
Tengen puts his hands on his hips, wiggling his eyebrows at Sanemi. “Are you still going to tell Giyuu how you feel tonight?”
Sanemi scowls half-heartedly at him in return. “If the timing and the feel are right, yes. I’m not gonna force anything, and I want to enjoy tonight without worrying. If I do, I do, and if I don’t, I don’t. It’s not like this is my last chance or anything.”
That’s a lie. He really, really, really wants to tell Giyuu.

Summary
Sanemi changed his mind about going to work today. He’s not ill, but he woke up this morning to Giyuu sleeping peacefully next to him, lying on his stomach with his cheek squished into the pillow, and he couldn’t bring himself to leave.

Summary
Giyuu doesn’t sleep well anymore. As far as Aoi can tell, he sleeps exclusively during the day, and even then, it’s only for short amounts of time.
“I’m sorry to ask this of you while you’re still recovering yourself,” Aoi continues, “But I think you’re the only one I can turn to for help.”
Sanemi nods. The only thing that’s difficult is Giyuu has been avoiding him since they woke up from their post-battle comas.

Summary
“What do you mean, ‘you don’t know when your birthday is?’” Sanemi nearly yells.
Giyuu blinks, shrinking slightly.
“I know it was snowing,” he offers, chewing the inside of his cheek. “I don’t really like thinking about it.”
Sanemi sighs, tapping his foot on the tatami mat floor repeatedly. He stands and dusts off his hakama, extending his hand to Giyuu. “Come on.”
“What?” Giyuu stutters, eyes stuck on Sanemi’s outstretched palm.
“We’re gonna go celebrate your birthday.”

Summary
Sanemi’s more than fond of him now, and he has no idea what it means. No, he knows exactly what it means, and the thought horrifies him.

Summary
Sanemi and Giyuu have an agreement.
If either of them are getting hit on and are becoming uncomfortable with the situation, the other can swoop in to the rescue. It’s worked countless times, and they’ve reached a point where they can read each other so well that they know exactly when to interrupt.
There’s only one problem.
Sanemi doesn’t want it to be just an agreement anymore. He wants to swoop in for real.

Summary
“Sanemi,” Giyuu calls, placing a hand on his partner’s knee.
“Yeah?” he responds, studying the rather solemn look on Giyuu’s face.
“If I die from a demon, can you be the one to tell my sister and her family?”
He hates the thought. Something ugly wells up inside him, consuming him whole. He doesn’t know what he’d do if he lost Giyuu.
He puts down his onigiri and pulls Giyuu into his arms.
“No. Because I’m not gonna let you die.”
Giyuu smiles up at him, his cheek squished adorably against Sanemi’s shoulder. “Okay.”

Summary
When Sanemi held out his hand, a final goodbye, Giyuu had been so caught by surprise by the sudden realization of his affections for the man that he’d swallowed them down without a second thought. They were still there, unrelenting and sitting in his chest like an insistent sickness, but he wouldn’t let them stop Sanemi from moving on.
So he shook Sanemi’s hand, looked into those lavender eyes (saw how much of a future he wanted with them), and watched him leave.Giyuu remembers the day Sanemi left.
And he regrets every single second of it.
or: Giyuu's dying from the mark curse, and in his final days, he reflects.

Summary
It’s unfair, really, how much he loves him. Sanemi never thought he could love like this—this much, this wholly. But sitting here, with Giyuu pressed close to his side and the stars twinkling down from the clear autumn sky, their stomachs full of Mitsuri’s best sandwiches and Kyojuro’s top-tier smores, Sanemi has never been more content.

Summary
Tengen hums, tail swishing behind him thoughtfully. “Look. The girls and I are finally permanently moving into my estate, and we need help moving stuff. We can use that as an excuse to get you two in the same place. Then we can figure out once and for all if Giyuu really hates you, or if you’re just freaking out over nothing.”
“I’m not—whatever. Fine. When?”
Tengen and Kyojuro smile.
or: Giyuu's strange behavior around Sanemi is finally getting to him. Tengen and Kyojuro are on a mission to reveal the truth.
