It'd been a few weeks now. Giyu had stopped talking to his, now former, friend group and instead hung out with Shinobu and her group of friends. It was going alright, to say the least. But even still, Giyu couldn't help but miss his other friends, this new dynamic felt so...odd and out of place. He felt out of place. Well, he supposed that was one cost of finally being able to date the love of his life. But then again, some of his new 'friends' were...shady? Weird? Strange?
For starters, there was Sanemi that was so goddamn loud and angry all the time Giyu wondered how his eardrums hadn't bled yet. He was nothing like the calm Tanjiro Kamado of his former friend group. Then there was Obanai who was just so....negative and grumpy. Absolutely nothing like the pure embodiment of the sun itself, Kyojuro Rengoku. Finally, there was Douma. He was just...weird, to be completely honest. It always felt like he was glaring holes into Giyu's skull. It was so uncomfortable. At least Sabito was somewhat normal, they would joke and tease each other all the time.
Jeez, he really did miss his old friends. But Shinobu made up for it all. She was so...kind and beautiful. There truly were no words to describe her. Her smile was...fascinating, it made him blush so much you could probably mistake him for a tomato. Her hugs were always warm and comforting and god, her kisses were so....so nice. Everything was going great, really. Or so he thought.
Recently, Shinobu had been distancing herself. She'd been standing him up, leaving poor Giyu all alone waiting for her at parks and restaurants. But that was fine, perhaps she was just tired or busy with school work? That had to be it, right? Sure, Giyu had noticed Shinobu hang out with Douma a lot more recently but they were friends so it's fine. Giyu didn't want to seem like a possessive boyfriend or anything!
His life seemed pretty okay, it could have been better but he supposed he was better off than some other people. And yet, he couldn't help but feel like something was missing. Quite honestly, he knew what was missing. He just didn't want to be faced with the truth and reality of it all because he knew that despite knowing what was missing in his life, or rather who, he knew his life would never be the same again.
And that's why, despite going through everything he did, despite losing his friends and best friends, despite having lost a lot and no longer being as happy as he once was just to be able to date Shinobu Kocho, he began to rethink everything.
Perhaps it was high time he broke up with her, no?
