Chapter Text
It was another normal day in the Kimetsu academy,or at least it was for the students. Each and everyone of the teachers had been cordially invited to celebrare the birthday of their colleague, and little sister of the biology teacher, Shinobu Kochou.
- You're going to my sister's birthday?
The teacher raised her eyebrow, with the whistle in the mouth. As always, Kanao had been one of the first ones to finish the training, and instead of getting a volleyball to play with her other classmates, she always took a seat in the stands to keep Tomioka company.
- The invitation is only for the teachers, I don't think it's convenient for you to be there - the raven haired answered.
It wasn't her intent to sound sharp or rude, but the parties organized by the festive art teacher were, chaotic, to say the least. Even so, Giyuu liked for her friend since middle school to always take her into account for every party he created. The silver haired young man knew how to make a great party, something not everybody can achieve, so she liked to go, even if she did nothing more than drinking a bit and watching everyone having fun from the comfort of a chair or sofa.
- I'm not going to be home. Nezuko invited me over to a sleepover in her house with Aoi.
Nezuko? Aoi? Those names rang a bell somewhere in her mind.
"Ah right, Nezuko is the sister following in age the earrings' rebel. And the other is Kanao's best friend, the one always wearing her hair in those double tails with blue butterfly pins."
Her exterior might be serious, cold, and lover of rules, but Tomioka always remembered the smallest details about the people she cared about, specially her students. Even if she pushed them to the limit until their living wishes were drained by the sweat and fatigue.
- Oh, I see.
The conversation could've end there, but Tomioka's voice answered the first question.
- Yes, but I never do anything interesting.
The girl stares at her and internally satisfied with her answer, she focused again in front of her to see just in time how Tanjiro crashed with Zenitsu who had suddenly stopped jogging because of Inosuke, who ran past them with a mocking expression.
Once Tomioka's class was over, she went to the teacher's room and it was then when Tengen screamed straight to heaven while having lunch with the others.
- You're kidding! I can't let you go to the party dressed with rags!
The female teacher made an outraged comical face and regained her composure two seconds later.
- You know I don't have much clothes, besides it doesn't matter, everything I do is sit.
- Even ornaments must be flashy, Tomioka.
A little invisible vein popped in the woman's forehead but she didn't said anything, and she almost bit her tongue with the lively shake Tengen gave her.
- But do not worry, I'll make you look so irresistible that you'll steal the beginning of the party. Say, it won't be too hard, your face could easily be in a magazine and your body has the perfect proportions in all the right places - explained, making gestures in each sentence.
The gesture aimed to her curves flushed her a bit, she cuddled and hid her face in her sports jacket.
I'm not as attractive as you make it look - whispered barely audible.
- Speak about humility, if you wished so, you could've been even a model, and like every good friend I would have followed you into your way of fame to catapult you.
Uzui shrugged his shoulders while the other rolled her eyes because of his weird ways of talking.
- However you chose the boring way, and since I had nothing better to do I followed you. So it's kinda your fault that I'm a teacher at this school, besides…
- Fine, you win. Do as you wish.
"You say it as if you hated this job" Giyuu thought with a bite to her snack.
Uzui smiled and little horns almost came out of the top of his jacket. The afternoon was his to use Tomioka Giyuu as his personal mannequin. and he would bring his girls to such a memorable ocation.
- Come on Tomioka, don't be shy!
The changing room curtain waved in denial asnd Makio sighed before stepping into the space and puching the sports teacher outside to model the dress. They had spent about two hours from store to store trying on outfit after outfit until they decided to try their luck with the dress section.
- Let's see, just a turn, beautiful – thoughtfully indicated the woman with yellow bangs.
Not very happy with having to present her figure in this way, the young woman turned around slowly so as not to have to repeat it while she was dying with the attentive gazes of her audience.
Tomioka was wearing an emerald green dress, the length reached a little above the knee and the neckline was heart-shaped. The four of them nodded their approval of the garment, ignoring how embarrassed Tomioka was for wearing that dress, by the time she opened her mouth to say something, the art teacher had already paid and the three girls were holding her amicably by the arms, chatting excitedly about how they planned to throw the party.
Saturday night came quicker as it always does when you know an important event is the next day. Tengen was overseeing the last details as he talked to his best friend within the educators he worked with.
Kyojuro 🔥: I was thinking something casual but formal... 🤔
✓✓ Read: You bring a suit to my party and I won't let you in >:v
Kyojuro 🔥: HAHAHA I'm not taking a suit to one of your parties
✓✓ Read: Hey, I'll tell you something that'll work as an advice for you man
Kyojuro 🔥: ?
✓✓ Read: Certain teacher is coming with a dress on instead of her forever blue sporty outfit. If you are here early, you might be the first one to talk to her and perhaps even drink something together 🍸
A couple of minutes passed in which he didn't get an answer and the young silver haired man was laughing under his breath, a message came to him and he smiled as he answered it.
Kyojuro 🔥: I'm on my way, I'll be there in five minutes.
Kyojuro 🔥: Is she there yet?
✓✓ Read: Easy there, she's not
Kyojuro 🔥: That's good! Coming, coming, I forgot my car keys.
✓✓ Read: Love has you real bad man 😂
You're on, see you here
"Well done Uzui, what would this city do without you?" He congratulated himself before giving instructions for the final details.
Sabito huffed impatiently in the living room of his best friend's house. He was the academy's geography teacher and one of the first to sign up for any party the great Uzui threw, which is why he was so eager to leave.
His clothing was simple but elegant, a dark purple shirt with the first two buttons loose and a pair of blue jeans along with black shoes.
"Why is it taking so long?" he thought irritably. He heard the sound of a pair of heels behind him and turned around to protest her tardiness.
- Next time if you're going to try on the complete wardrobe.........– He began to say but stopped speaking for a few moments because of what he saw - You look... beautiful.
That dress hugged her figure perfectly, a small and thin dark belt marked the beginning of her hips and black lace floral decorations started from the neckline to end almost halfway down the skirt. Hinatsuru had lent her a beautiful necklace with an emerald carved in the shape of a simple drop and the earrings were discreet but an intense shade of the same color as the rest. Her heels were black and low-height which was perfect for her stature, and on the back of the heels there was a medium black rose with small sparkles on the petals.
- Anyway... let's go or we'll be late – the young man chose to say to hide his blush.
After almost ten minutes they arrived at the house of the extravagant artist, the peach haired young man got out of the vehicle and opened the door for his companion, they both entered and the atmosphere eased any tension in their bodies. The music was lively but maintained a certain calm to awaken the party spirit, the people around them were the same ones they saw on a daily basis and it wasn't long before Sabito joined the conversation group that was already heating up to drink with all the energy.
Giyuu was used to that and she wasn't disappointed, on the contrary, she went to a comfortable seat in the small bar that the house had and asked for a glass of water before anything else.
- You look fucking cute.
The thick voice gave her a little startle and she turned to see the math teacher who was having a bottle of beer to pass the time. His shirt was navy blue and short-sleeved, as always he had part of the chest uncovered, and his black pants were comfortable but tight.
- I didn't see you there, Shinazugawa. Mhhh, shouldn't you be with Iguro?
She was patient with him as he gulped down all the remaining drink, and the bottle hit the surface as he put it down.
- I was with him but you know what happens when he sees Kanroji, he's a good guy but he abandoned me like a dog outside the market.
A soft amused gasp came out of Tomioka and Sanemi couldn't help but smile, they may have been ex-boyfriends for more than three years but he could still make her laugh like those times.
- Yeah, that sounds a lot like Iguro.
- Are you going to spend as usual sitting here?
She gave him an affirmative nod while the guy who was helping at the bar handed her the glass of water.
- Tsk, you should be trying to have fun like a normal person. Who knows, maybe I'll try to ask you to dance when my drink goes high.
The woman denied before drinking the water in two gulps, they talked for a while until the birthday girl arrived and the art teacher spoke.
- The gang is reunited to celebrate the old age of our dear Shinobu Kochou! School nurse and supreme court of justice for all our bullshit.
Gazes drifted amidst laughter to the petite young woman who already had a cheerful "I'll kill you" expression.
- But we are not here to count the wrinkles on her angelic face! Twenty-two years are only lived once, and it must be memorable! Let's start this, cause the night is young but not eternal!
The music changed to set the mood and soon everyone was having fun among those who sang, danced, and even the scandalous laughter of those who for the moment only drank while talking. All that was putting everyone in an excellent mood.
- Is this seat taken?
She had just ordered a bloody mary and something lit up in Giyuu's chest when she heard that voice, the raven haired turned to greet the history teacher who came to keep her company, which she OBVIOUSLY didn't suppose. She gestured for him to take a seat, and Kyojuro hastened to order something light for himself as well.
- How are you doing? By the way, you look beautiful – he commented to open the conversation.
- Thank you, but I think you're all exaggerating... I'm only wearing a dress and it's not very elegant either.
She thought that the professor looked much better than her, he was more formal than most but still maintained a jovial style. He was wearing a white shirt without a tie, a gray jacket and dark gray pants accompanied by white tennis shoes.
- We always see you in your sportswear so this is a good look on you!
- I could say the same thing, what happened to the tucked-in shirt and red tie?
- Are you going to punish me, Miss Tomioka?– The blonde replied, raising an eyebrow challengingly.
He received the mojito he had ordered and took a drink, taking the opportunity to think about what he should talk about with the woman next to him now that he had managed to enter her periphery of attention.
While they were enjoying the party in their own way, things got more rowdy with the others, especially after one of the guests brought out some bottles of imported alcohol. Curiosity arose in abundance along with laughter and challenges to try the drink, Tengen didn't need more, he took a shot and licked his lips in surprise.
- Man, this is so good, where did you get it?
- My parents returned from Europe and brought several things for us, I thought I'd try this with you.
- Are you sure this has the percentage of alcohol it says? Obanai asked skeptically with the bottle in his hands when he saw how smiling those who had tasted it had become in such a short time.
- Relax Iguro, what are we, high school teenagers? – Sanemi put his hand on the chemistry teacher's shoulder - Everything will be fine. If it calms you down, we won't let Kanroji take a drop.
- Shinazugawaaa! That is unfair! – complained the newly graduated dance and arts teacher.
- Whoever doesn't try it will dance in the middle alone! – Said Sabito serving himself quickly before the others got carried away with the game, encouraging the birthday girl with cheers to be among the first to try the new bottles.
The noise caught the attention of the two who were talking comfortably and they inevitably approached to see what was happening, quickly getting into action.
... Yes, well... it seems that someone didn't label the drink correctly because everyone's attitude said that it had a higher percentage of alcohol than the one that the brand allegedly showed.
Everything seemed to be going well, but things slowly turned in intensity as the doses of alcohol reached the bloodstreams.
- Don't you think this is getting out of control? – Gyomei asked, somewhat worried as he heard the screams of the others amidst the music and multicolored lights.
- Shot! Shot! Shot! Shot!
The ethics teacher had not consumed anything more than a lemonade with some liquor, Shinobu despite her size was the one with the highest alcohol tolerance, of the three wives of the young party boy, Hinatsuru was the most measured in her consumption and Mitsuri had a pout on his face because they had not allowed her to drink more than mojitos and lemonade with little alcohol. The others had fallen under the influence of the drink, even the host himself, which was somewhat unusual given how accustomed he was to drinking.
- Maybe a little, but it wouldn't hurt to check- said the birthday girl.
She approached the scarred teacher who was finishing another glass and seemed fine.
- Sanemi, are you drunk?
- What the fuck... are you talking about, Kanae? I'm perfectly.
- ... I'm Shinobu, Sanemi.
The young man looked at her from head to toe and gave a mocking laugh.
- ...Tch, makes sense, I said that you couldn't have shrunk...
- You will be... - the woman muttered, clenching her fist threateningly.
Mitsuri went to the chemistry teacher and caught his eye immediately.
- Let's see, how many fingers do I have here, Iguro?
- It depends, it depends *hic* The fingers that you have raised or the ones that you have in total?
- Yes, Obanai is drunk... - she said with a giggle when his partner leaned against her shoulder spluttering.
Sabito was babbling incoherently leaning against a coat rack and talking to it while thinking it was his neighbor and friend Makomo. Lonely and senseless, Kyojuro was asleep on his face on the surface of the small bar, he didn't plan on drinking too much but he accidentally drank a very strong glass that wasn't his and before losing consciousness he ended up confessing his secrets to a complete stranger between the guests in worse shape than him.
Gyomei, Hinatsuru, Mitsuri, and Shinobu were the only ones who weren't drowning in idiocy.
They had hoped that Tomioka, being the way she was, would stay sober and help them with the others, but what a surprise when they saw her laughing as she tried to lead Shinazugawa in a dance attempt, both of them more clumsy than a baby learning to walk.
The nurse took out her butterfly case cell phone and took a video while internally sneering.
- Well, I already have the extra bonus for the fortnight guaranteed - she murmured to her friend who joined in the laughter.
Blackmail for a moment of humiliation was common among this group of teachers. Boring? Ha, the students who called them that could swallow their words.
However they were not being a good example to follow right now, at least that was what the four thought when the geography teacher called for a group hug and everyone responded to the call between tears, laughter and babbling.
Uzui was rejecting Makio's flirtations with the justification he was married, while Suma was asleep next to the history teacher.
Tomioka for her part was allowing Shinazugawa to shorten the personal space between them, their breath almost touching and their hot faces testifying to how drunk they were.
- Remember the first time I kissed you? – whispered the young man with white hair trying to keep the sense of his words.
- When did you twist? – the raven haired asked smilingly and mistakenly.
- Dunno, but right now I want to kiss you.
- Thanks but no thanks – Sabito released, hugging the two to hold on.
- You have the face of a rat but you're not ugly – Sanemi replied, changing his attitude in a blink.
- You look like gangster. Math, really?
- At least I'm smarter than you.
- I'm much more attractive, but you have beautiful eyes without eyebrows, compadre.
They both started laughing and kept teasing each other, forgetting about the teacher who got dizzy and went to sit where she was before. After about half an hour the effect of the alcohol on her body began to wear off, but she was still in a complete cloud of joy and carelessness.
The sneeze that woke up the blond seemed adorable to her and she lay down next to him, playing with his curiously mixed colored locks.
- Giyuu?
- Mhhh, - she hummed.
- Oh, I thought it was an angel that was seducing me – he whispered, staring uncoordinatedly into the pretty blue eyes.
Their pulses quickened. Mitsuri came over carrying Iguro and smiled seeing Rengoku awake.
- I'm glad you woke up! Tomioka, could you walk the boys home?
She was just going to ask how she would get there without driving when she remembered that her sister Tsutako's house was a few blocks away, convenient and without the risk of causing a car accident. They had left on a business trip and had taken their son with them so there was plenty of room for everyone.
"I'm in luck, I have the copy of the keys she gave me to feed their cat."
She gathered the three of them together and after wishing Shinobu a happy birthday, and Sabito receiving a slap on the head for ruffling her as a farewell, she led them to her family's vacant house. As soon as they entered they went to the kitchen where Tomioka gave them some water so they could sleep better, she showed them what would be the room for the three of them for that night and was about to enter hers but a hand caught her at the exit .
- Giyuu...stay - her best friend whispered seductively, resting his head on her bare shoulder.
Tomioka shuddered at the tempting sensation of warm skin next to hers, but she couldn't do it, it wasn't the place or the time, besides, it was her body's desire. Why not wait until she's sober and able to assimilate the proposal with her five senses?
"The boy you liked since you were a child is telling you to spend the night with him. What are you waiting for to say yes?" Lust exclaimed rubbing its hands together with excitement.
"No, no, no, no, Sanemi is in there. I really was in love with him, I'm not sure if I'm completely over it or if I have what it takes to start a new relationship." Her brain responded with the logic that was waking up from the drunken lethargy and remembering what he had confessed to her while they spent time together at the party.
"Come on! Are you going to fake dementia for what you feel every time Kyojuro smiles at you with that beautiful smile? You are ready to start something new, leave the past child!" Her heart joined.
The voices inside her began to argue and her nerves kicked in, but when she saw the bright lavender eyes, she relaxed and let herself be carried away by the desire that was beginning to be bothersome and exciting in every way. She wanted someone to kiss her more numb than the liquor they drank earlier, and she was dying to feel warmth on her skin in any way between innocent or erotic.
A thought she would be ashamed of forever in the future, but that would be the Giyuu of the future's problem.
