Chapter Five, Showers & Doubts

They were finally back home. Giyuu had just recently gotten discharged and was walking home with Sanemi.

"We should take showers when we get home, yeah?" Sanemi half asked half stated.

"Mhm, it would be nice to shower without someone helping me. I'm grateful that the nurses took their time with me and tried to help in the best ways possible, but it was getting quite aggravating and obnoxious."

"We better hurry then, hm?" Sanemi said smirking.

{Time Skip <3}

Giyuu looked up just in time to see Sanemi walking into the kitchen.

"Showers free." He stated
"Okay, thank you." Giyuu said quietly.

Before Sanemi had the chance to ask him what was wrong, he was already in the bathroom with a pare of clean clothes.

Giyuu slowly slid up his shirt, revealing a binder and hundreds of cuts.

Luckily most of them were healed, but the rest looked less than a few days old. In fact, they looked like they were only made mere hours ago.

Giyuu's mouth went dry and his face paled. He had just realized something.
If Kocho had changed him, that meant she knew.

She could tell EVERYONE.

Giyuu started panicking, his thoughts spiraling. 'Fag.' 'Tranny.' 'fat ass.'
'Fucking twig.' 'Homo.' 'Freak.' 'Mentally ill.' 'Delusional.'

Sobs endlessly wracked through his body as he fell to the ground. He put his head in his knees, still sobbing.

He then remembered something. Razors. He had 2 or 3 in his cabinet. He kept them there just in case he couldn't find a knife when most needed.

He decided he really did need this.
Paper white fingers slowly and carefully opened the cabinet, trying his best not to make any noise as he grabbed one.

He began dismantling the razor until he finally got the blade out.

He quickly slid it across his stomach.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Thirty-six.

When he started getting lightheaded he stopped, quietly rinsing off the blade and putting the razor back where it belonged.

'I'll tell him soon!.. I just really have to make sure he's not transphobic.' Giyuu thought anxiously.

He carefully slipped into the tub. He almost fell asleep because of how relaxing it was, before remembering he had a roommate.

{Time Skip Again My Lovely's <3}

When Giyuu got out, Sanemi was already asleep.

Since Giyuu couldn't sleep with his binder on he decided to improvise.

He slept on his stomach and made sure to be the first to awake out of the two.

Giyuu quickly made breakfast for Sanemi.
Tsutako taught him the basics of cooking while Sabtio and Urodaki had taught him the rest.

Needless to say, Giyuu was a fucking fantastic cook. Sanemi thought it was delicious, and all was going well until Sanemi asked a question. "Hey, where's your plate?" "I finished before you came down." Giyuu stated shakily.

Sanemi eyed Giyuu suspiciously, but he surprisingly bought it.

"I think I'm going to go back to sleep, okay?"

Sanemi silently nodded, seeming to be lost in his own thoughts at the moment.

Giyuu flopped down on his bed, sluggishly closing his eyes. He drifted to sleep extremely quickly, obviously exhausted.
