Giuyy X Shinobu ~oneshots~ requests (OPEN)

single dad Giyuu X Shinobu

I feel like at this point I could be known as "that one author who does Giyushino AUs" lol
Warning: a little bit of cursing
..................................................................

Shinobu met Giyuu in elementary school. He was a year above her, yet they always seemed to run in to each other while in school.
Giyuu thought Shinobu was annoying for the most part, but a small part of him longed to get closer to her even in those days. Eventually, when highschool rolled around, the two became close friends.
Well, more than close friends actually. Neither of them really wanted to label their relationship at that time. Shinobu liked being around him, she wanted to be by his side. Giyuu wanted to talk to her more, to be near her. They had that awkward, teenage kind of romance that is still somewhat pure, untarnished by adult greed.

Though, when Giyuu was 16, he dissapeared. Shinobu didn't get anything but a letter explaining he had to leave and go live with his cousins in China. Shinobu's first response was confusion, but it quickly turned in to anger. She cherished him for years and he just left her without even saying goodbye to her face.

You can imagine the shock she felt when he turned up 7 years later at the same company Shinobu worked in.

.

Shinobu Kochou had been working with Giyuu tomioka for a little over a year now. She even dared to say that they were friendly to each other. Shinobu tried to start a conversation with him many times. She wanted to know what her friend/highschool sweetheart had been doing all these years. She wanted to ask why he had left her. Giyuu never gave her an answer. In fact, he avoided her questions and the topic of his life in China. Giyuu had always been closed off from his colleagues, even when others tried to befriend him. Shinobu had made it her mission to get him to open up, and so their "friendship" started. Giyuu didn't participate in group activities outside of work. He never went drinking with the others, always saying he was busy. Many assumed he just had a second job and left it at that.

Giyuu was sitting at his table in the office, his hands running through his hair as he had a stressed look on his face. He glanced at his phone before starting to thrum his fingers on the plain, whitewood desk as he picked up his phone and put it to his ear.

He first started speaking quietly, but his tone became more frantic and loud the longer the conversation lasted. The other workers stayed out of it, but Shinobu being Shinobu, she marched right up to him.

-I understand but- what? I- ... yes." He muttered, his face turning in to a deeper frown by the second. He sighed.

-Alright, goodbye." He set his phone down and leaned back in his chair, his eyes staring up at the ceiling.

-What's wrong Tomioka-san?" Shinobu asked, leaning on her co-workers table and grinning. Giyuu let out a grunt.

-I'm not in the mood for your antics, Kochou." He said harshly. Shinobu didn't move, she just put her elbows on the table and balanced her head on her palms. After a moment Giyuu looked to her and sighed deeply.

-I have overwork today, but no one is available to babysit." He finally said. Shinobu cocked an eyebrow.

-Babysit?" She was confused, Giyuu wasn't married, he didn't wear a ring, and he had never spoken of a child.

-Yes.. my son, Haruto, is 4 years old and I need someone to babysit him tonight." He explained. Shinobu straightened out, her mouth agape in shock.

-You have a son? And you didn't tell me??" She was almost hurt.

-Yes, and I was hoping to keep it secret." He groaned. Shinobu shook her head in disbelief.

-That's cold Tomioka, but why can't the mother take him?" She asked. Giyuu said nothing, he only glared at the woman Infront of him. "Sore spot" Shinobu thought.
