Work Text:
It was early in the morning of a warm bright June day. It was nice and peaceful until an alarm went off… Giyu Tomioka shot out of his bed and ran upstairs and towards the kitchen to greet his sister, Tsutako. “Good morning nee-san!” “Good morning Yuu!” Giyu runs up and hugs his sister-
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!*
It's 6:30 am and of course Giyu groggily wakes up and turns off the alarm on his phone. “Crap not that dream again…” Every once and while he would dream about his sister or his late best friend Sabito. Why did terrible things like this even have to happen..? Maybe it should have been him instead of Sabito…at least Sabito probably would have done something with his life by now? Something way fair better than Giyu, he was always better than Giyu would ever be. Giyu is just useless and talentless person, so it should have been-
“GIYU-SAN!! This time to wake up! We got school GIYU-SAN! School! Mr. Urokodaki made us breakfast today!! I even helped make bread with him!! It's probably pretty tasty. Are you up GIYU-SAN..??! Okay I'M COMING IN!”
“.... coming in?”
Tanjiro opened the door wide, making it hit the wall by accident. He looked at his adoptive brother and walked towards Giyu’s bed. “Are you alright Giyu-san..? I smell a hint of sadness from you.”
Giyu sat up in shock and widened his eyes as he looked at Tanjiro.
“What’s wrong?”
“Everything.”
“..oh?...Is this about Tsutako…or Sabito again then?”
Tanjiro sits on the bed. “You can tell me if you want, I'm okay with it.”
“No. It's fine.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah, I'll tell you if anything happens alright, Tan?”
“Alright, GIYU-SAN! Anyways let's go have breakfast if you're up for it?”
“Yeah I'm up for it.”
“OKAY, then let's go!!” Tanjiro dragged Giyu out of bed and took him to the kitchen downstairs. There were scrambled eggs and two slices of toast on each of the four plates. Urokodaki was sitting and drinking his tea as he waited for the kids to come eat breakfast. Nezuko showed up right behind Giyu and Tanjiro.
“Good morning Giyu, Tanjiro, and Nezuko.”
“Good morning, Mr. Urokodaki!”
“Good morning..”
“Hmmp!”
The elderly man and the three teens/preteens eat their breakfast, shower, and head out of the house to the car. The drive to Kimtesu Academy was not too long, only 20 minutes.
“Okay kids, have a good day at school!” Urokodaki looked back to the backseats to look at the children. “Don't forget to work hard and never give up.”
“YES! Mr. Urokodaki!”
“Okay.”
“Hmm-”
“NEZUKO don't talk with the bread in your mouth!-” Tanjiro turns and tries to reach Nezuko but Giyu was sitting in the middle seat.
“TAN- you can't just reach over someone!”
Tanjiro stops and he looks down in a bit of sadness. “Sorry Giyu-san.”
….
8:00 am, 10 minutes before first period classes start…and Giyu is stuck with two of the noisiest students in the school, aka Mitsuri Kanroji and Kyojuro Rengoku. They're too loud and energetic for a Monday morning.
“We should definitely go eat out somewhere for dinner on Friday Kanroji! We should bring the others!”
Mitsuri jumps up and down, “Definitely Rengoku!! That would be AMAZING!! We should definitely bring others as well, we need to make a group. I would love to have a friend group! Where would we eat out though???”
“Yes, I agree with you Kanroji!! Hmm I have no clue where to eat since we were already at our favorite places last weekend together.”
“Hmmm…”
“Wait Tomioka-san why don't you join Rengoku and I? You can pick the place we could eat at!!”
“Huh..? Oh umm you sure..?”
“YES Tomioka.”
“What if I ruin-”
“NOOO you wouldn't Tomioka-san!!! You could never ruin the hangout, and it's fun hanging out with you!”
“Yes I agree with her, Tomioka you must join us. You need to stop being so negative and let us help you! We don't like to see you suffer like this Giyu.”
“Oh…okay..?”
…
*RING* *RING* *RING*
“Let's head to class, Kanroji and Tomioka!”
“Alright!”
Giyu was about to follow them until out of nowhere while looking at Mitsuri and Kyojuro talking to each other he tripped over something.. and he fell of course.
“OI! What the hell are you doing!?!?”
“Oh sorry I didn't know you were there..”
“Uh huh sure you somehow do not see the only person on the whole freaking sidewalk?!?”
“I didn't though? I was looking at my friends..?”
“Tch, whatever loser! I just hope I won't have to see you again. You seem pretty annoying.”
“Oh.”
“Whatever!”
The guy storms off to head inside of the school. As Giyu looks at him and wishes he did not accidentally run into him again.
“That guy was just rude, Giyu… are you alright though?”
“Yeah I am fine, it just seems like he has some angry issues and a simple mind.”
“Woah! That type of talk is why no one likes you.”
Giyu turns behind him and sees a familiar short dark and purple tipped haired girl. He did not even know if they were friends or not since she was bugging him all the time.
“Oh hey Kocho. People like me though?”
“Hmm I do not believe so, Tomioka. You need to be less sulky and cold.”
“Why don't you try to stop hiding your emotions through a fake smile all the time then?”
“You are so heartless Tomioka. It is okay I will still be your friend though, but people still don't like you.”
“Can we just head to our classes? Everything is just so loud, I need some peace…”
“Fine, fine. I let you go. See you later!” Shinobu waves and runs inside.
Giyu finally can finally walk inside the school and can head into his class. Which is luckily on the first floor. For some reason he saw that same guy he ran into earlier… the one with the messy crazy hair. Who just so happened to be in the desk next to his. GREAT… He sits down anyway and decides to just go on his phone until the class bell rings in a minute. Sadly and unsurprisingly once Giyu unlocked his phone that white-haired boy looked up and noticed Giyu. He looked insanely mad as he looked at Giyu.
“Hey, YOU. What are you doing here?!?!”
Giyu looks up to look at this guy. “This is my first period class?”
“Well leave then-”
*RING*
The teacher walks into the classroom and stands in front of the “Smart”board. She grabs the blue pen and starts writing on the board.
“Good morning class! Today we are starting an assignment today. It will be a group project on population changes in ecosystems.”
Rengoku, Kanroji,and Giyu look at each other from their seats.
“But you will not be picking your groups at all. It will be good for your future to have connections for whatever jobs you all are planning to do once you graduate. So the first group is….”
The teacher kept talking but Giyu started to zone her out. He wasn't good at socializing well with others who aren’t his friends. He always messes the conversation up and the future relationship with the person. Until he heard his own name.
“The final group will be Mitsuri Kanroji, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and Giyu Tomioka.”
Who’s Sanemi Shinazugawa? Well he did not have to question that long since someone came up to his desk and started speaking.
“Oi Tomioka right? We have to work together with Kanroji, for some stupid reason. You better actually be good at biology. I cannot let my grades drop because of you. Let’s go to Kanroji’s desk so we can finish this assignment already.”
Shit.
