Highs and Lows | GiyuShino Modern AU

10

Shinobu arrived at home, exhausted. Giyu walked her home, which surprised her.

Also him listening to her venting also surprised her. She contemplated if she judged Giyu too early

She held her forehead after a bit of extensive thinking. "I need to just stop thinking" Shinobu says

"Shinobu!" Shinobu flinched at the loud voice of Kanae "Stop yelling" Shinobu says making Kanae laugh

"Sorry" She says with a chuckle "How was school? Heard you guys had a test" Kanae asks

"Where'd you hear that?" Shinobu asks in curiosity. She didn't know she still had connections "I know some people" Kanae says obscurely

"It was... good, yeah" Shinobu says awkwardly. Kanae knew she was probably lying but also knew she didn't wanna talk about it

"How about you?" Shinobu asks and Kanae shrugged "Boring like usual" Kanae said, annoyed

"Like why is it easier than high school?" Shinobu laughed at the frustrated look on Kanae's face

"Oh me and Sanemi had a date" Kanae's smile resurfaced. Shinobu had a disgusted face

"Don't look at me like that. You're just jealous" Shinobu laughed but it was partially true.

She's never had a boyfriend and was getting kinda fed up. She wouldn't admit it but she was also getting insecure about it.

"I brought food so I don't have to cook too" Kanae chuckled before walking to the couch. Shinobu followed her

"I am kinda jealous of you though" Shinobu said, grabbing Kanae's intention "Why?" Kanae asked

"You met with your soulmate already. I can't even find someone I'm interested in" Shinobu chuckled

"Are you sure you're not gay?" Shinobu laughed "No I am serious like you've never had a crush before" Kanae said further

"To be honest with you, I've explored there before, but no" Shinobu said making Kanae nod

"You'll meet somebody great someday. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a few years, but you will find him" Shinobu smiled

"Thanks" Shinobu said before going upstairs. She ran to her room and took a quick nap

~

She woke up after what felt like a few minutes. She looked at her phone and it was 11:30 already

She yawned and jumped out of her room. She went out of her room and started to walk downstairs

Unsurprisingly, no one was downstairs. She opened her phone to have a bit of a light from her screen before opening the light

She took a peek at the bag and saw some noodle dish and chicken. She pulled both out and put them on a plate

She put the plate on a microwave. Afterwards, she approached the couch and hopped on it. She pulled her phone out and opened the app

She opened the chat with him and started to type up an introduction

WaterTastesGood
Eat well!

Shinobu closed the app and got her food. She couldn't stop thinking about him and who he is or how he looks like

She shrugged the thoughts off but she would be lying if she said she didn't want to meet him and befriend him. Maybe even something more

But she didn't want to think about hypotheticals. Especially since it will never happen, at least she thought

She pulled her phone out though. For some reason, she opened Instagram and tried to search for Giyu's profile

After a quick search, Shinobu found his profile easily. She found some weird profiles though while searching for him

A bunch of fan pages. Which she found weird since it's not like he's a celebrity.

Shinobu opened his profile and the page surprisingly had something in it.

There were thirty posts. She fully intended to see all of his posts. She found something off again though

He had 3.7k followers. "Is Giyu more popular than I thought?" She asked herself before swiping down fully and looking at his first post

It was a picture of Giyu with three others. A dark-haired girl with blue green eyes, an orange-haired boy, and someone who looked like his grandpa who was wearing a traditional mask

"Interesting..." She said before looking at the caption and comments.

The caption said, "They forced me to post this" which made Shinobu chuckle

The comments were full of thirsty girls which made Shinobu cringe. "All this girls for him?" She gagged but she did kinda get it. He was kinda fine

She swiped through all his pictures and saw that almost all of them were in a group

Most of which were with the three people she didn't know and with Mitsuri and Rengoku

She laughed on how blank he looked for all while the others were smiling or putting on a face but there was one picture that stood out

A solo picture of him in a sweater jacket, laughing and smiling genuinely. It warmed Shinobu's heart

After fully stalking his page, she followed him. She then closed her phone and finished her food
