It's a dark night.
People on the train have fallen asleep.
Sanemi and Giyuu are sitting together. Giyuu is sitting near the window.
He looks at Sanemi who is sitting beside him silently.

It's the first time I've seen Shinazugawa-San so silent.
It feels unreal.

"Shinazugawa-San..."

"Hmm?"

"Won't you sleep?"

"I don't know...we should stay alarmed since we are demon slayers but we will need some rest to stay active in the morning, What about you?"

"I don't know either..."

As the hours pass, Giyuu falls asleep and he rests his head on the window.
Sanemi looks at Giyuu who is fast asleep.

Sanemi looks at Giyuu's face.
His dark hair, his eyes, nose, lips and his neck.
Sanemi's eyes widen and he couldn't take his eyes off Giyuu even when he tries to.
Without realising, Sanemi starts blushing.

Th-The fuck i-is wrong with me??
Why am I staring, why can't I stop?
What am I even thinking?

No.....I can do it, I can control myself for god's sake....

Sanemi takes a few deep breaths...
He looks away in the opposite direction.

Sanemi's eyes close.
He exhales and slowly...
Falls asleep.

The train continues its journey to Kyoto.

The next morning:

The sun shines brightly showing no mercy.
Giyuu's eyes flutter open and adjust to the surroundings.
He gains consciousness, looks
beside him to check on his companion, Sanemi. He sees Sanemi fast asleep and looks at his face.

Giyuu's cheeks turn pink without realising.

Shinazugawa-San is so calm and different when he is asleep...

Giyuu leans towards him for a closer look.

His white hair, shining in the sunlight, his eyelashes too.

I wish we become friends....
Giyuu thought.

The train stops.

Everyone starts to get off.

Sanemi's eyes open.
He has a blurry vision but could see Giyuu looking at him.

"Uh... Shinazugawa-San! Shinazugawa-San?
Wake up! It's time..."

Sanemi's eyes take time to adjust with the brightness of the sunlight.

He shook his head and could see clearly this time.

"Tomioka...?"

"Let's leave now... We've reached."

"Oh.....right."

They get off.

"We've arrived." Says Giyuu in a relieved tone.

"Let's see what we find in Kyoto."
Says Sanemi energetically.
