Giuyy X Shinobu ~oneshots~ requests (OPEN)

midnight dances

..................................................................

Giyuu tossed and turned in his bed. He just couldn't sleep. He had tried EVERYTHING, but nothing was working. He had tried reading one of his favourite books, he even tried doing breathing exercises. He was getting more and more anxious by the moment.

He was so tired, so scared. He put on a facade all the time but he was so, so, so tired. He finally gave up on trying to sleep and looked to his side. His girlfriend, Shinobu, was sleeping soundly beside him. He was jealous of how she could sleep. Giyuu shifted a little and planted a kiss on her cheek. He then got up quietly.

He went to the kitchen and got a glass of water. The dark was suffocating but he had no choice but to hold up till sunrise. The moon was being covered by clouds so it brought him no closure.

He drank the water in one big gulp and doubled over, his heart racing. These moments were his curse, he hated not being in control of his feelings.

"What is it? Am I really doing anything, I am such a loser, I'm never gonna make it, I'm dying, life means NOTHING." As these thoughts consumed him, he didn't hear Shinobu coming up behind him.

-Giyuu?" She called softly. Giyuu flinched and turned around, his breaths were quick and his face was pale. Shinobu could see he was in distress, so she put her hand out. Giyuu swallowed and looked at her hand, confused.

-Take my hand." She said. Giyuu hesitated for a heartbeat more before taking her hand. Shinobu's hands were small and fit to his perfectly, they were somewhat rough and scarred, but Giyuu didn't mind that, it showed how hard she worked.

Shinobu led the gentle, slow dance as Giyuu started to ease himself. The thoughts that plagued his mind so often seemed to vanish when he was with her. He was incredibly greatful for her.

The two of them had worked hard and life had been rough, but in that moment, in that kitchen, they could relax.
