New friend - demon slayer (discontinued)

Comforting

Giyu pov
It's probably best to assume she went to her estate but, first "hey! Crow! See to it that you tell Tanjiro I won't make it to his training, this is an emergency. And don't mess up the message, or I'll kill you before you can die of natural causes!" my crow nodded scared and went flew off on high speed to the training grounds, aka my large yard. I didn't even run, I just seemingly teleported away trying to get to her as fast as possible even though it wasn't that far away. I was there in a few minutes, but it felt like an eternity because of all the suspense. I went to the front door, but called out for her to make sure if she was in there that I wasn't intruding, the last thing I want is to scare her. I started to hear loud sobbing, but because the break in between sobs I could tell she tried to respond, her voice sounded hoarse and shaky.

"Kanroji, can I come in?" She took a deep breath and shakily told me to come in. As soon as I came in and approached her, she engulfed me in a hug that I immediately returned, she was crying so hard it seemed as if she'd lost someone very dear to her, which in a way she kind of did. "Take deep breaths Kanroji, or else you'll hyperventilate" She listened and tried to steady her breathing, I feel kinda awkward, I've never comforted anyone before, hopefully I don't say anything that make her more upset. She slowly started to control her breathing enough for her to speak in a broken manner.

"I, just- I don't understand w-why he feels the need to control *hic* my every move" She grips me tighter "you know, I thought I'd found someone that cared, like Iguro, but it turns out *hic* he just wants to control me, just like my parents!" She cried out "I know my parents and Iguro care, but I don't want them controlling me! Becoming a demon slayer gave me freedom, I got to save people, make friends that didn't talk about me behind my back! But I feel like it's slowly crumbling. I love Iguro I truly do, but there's only so much I can take" she confessed. I was at a loss for words, how long had she been bottling this up? It hurts to see her hurting this badly. I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that asshole doesn't get close to her again!

No, I can't do that. I'd just be doing the same as him and the I'd be a hypocrite. I should just make sure she only talks to him when she's ready, and that she doesn't feel pressured to talk to him again because she feels bad. I would give Kanroji and Iguro advice on what I healthy relationship would look like, but I haven't been with Shinobu that long, and I haven't been in any previous relationships, it would just be a waste of our time. God this is all so complicated, why do relationships have to be this complicated?

"Giyu-san, can I call you that?" She asked "sure...Mitsuri." she smiled a little, "that you for being here Giyu-san, I really appreciate you doing this." She said shakily, "it's really nothing Mitsuri, you're my friend and I want to help you" I said, she nodded and buried her face in my chest as she softly cried, I made a mental note to wash my uniform shirt when I get home, there are tears all over it. "Giyu-san...can you stay here? Just for tonight, I don't wanna be alone" "I can stay here if you want, do you have a separate futon? If you don't I'll just sleep on the bare floor" I suggested "I have a spare futon over there, I'll go get it." And with that, she unraveled her arms from me, and got the futon, and placed it on the floor with a space in between the two. And we both got into our respective ones. "Thanks again for staying, you're a great friend Giyu-san" she whispered with a smile, I smiled back at her as we both drifted off to sleep.
