Our Tragic Love Story (Sabigiyuu)

Final Selection😭💀

A/N: THE ANGST STARTS NOW I GUESS- 
I TRIED PUTTING IT OFF AS MUCH AS I COULD BUT, 😭😭😭

-A week has passed since the last chapter and Giyuu and Sabito have been working extra hard. Urokodaki had spent the week giving them advice and watching them train. Everyone has been extra tense for Final Selection, even Sabito, though he tries his best to hide it. Currently, Giyuu and Sabito are about to leave for Final Selection: GIYUU POV~

"Thank you both for being my students..." I heard Urokodaki-sensei say. I vaguely noted there was no change in his voice, even at a time like this. Urokodaki-sensei had always been very good at controlling his emotions, unlike me, who wears my heart out on my sleeve. Suddenly I felt Urokodaki-sensei pull us into a warm hug. I wanted to say something comforting to Urokodaki-sensei but the lump in my throat stopped me. "Relax old man, you're acting as if we're gonna die! We're going to come back, so rest easy!" Sabito said. Despite what he said, even he knew how risky Final Selection was...Despite this, he still managed to comfort Urokodaki-sensei...I wish I could be like Sabito and Urokodaki-sensei. Good at concealing my emotions. Good at comforting people. Good at putting on a brave face. I looked up to see Urokodaki-sensei nodding. It was obvious he was worried, despite his cold demeanour. He was like a father figure to both of us. I wanted to provide some reassurance, so I nodded my head vigorously in agreement to Sabito's statement. Urokodaki-sensei then stood up and said "Leave now, or you'll be late." "Bye old man! Don't forget us when we come back!" Sabito said while waving with one hand and grabbing my hand with his other hand. I gave a small wave of my own before allowing myself to be dragged by Sabito. 

~UROKODAKI POV~
I suppose it's time for the rituals then...Sabito, Giyuu, please be safe...I have a bad feeling, and it's the same feeling from the time Makomo...left. 

~GIYUU POV~

So far our walk to Mt. Fujikasane was fairly quiet. There was this growing pit in my stomach that prevented me from talking or thinking logically. All I could think was: What if? What if something happens to Sabito? What if I'm not strong enough to slay a demon? With these thoughts, I felt my heartbeat quicken and my stomach churn with dread. I tried my best to push these thoughts away but they just kept flooding into my head, like a river. Stop. Sabito must also be nervous, but he isn't acting like how I am! Stop putting all the burden on Sabito! "Giyuu." I was pulled out of my thoughts by Sabito. I looked up at him. "I promised you I'd protect the both of us, and I'm a man of my words, so you don't have to worry!" Sabito said while giving me a soft smile. No, that's not it...I don't want to be a burden to you, Sabito. You're nervous too, aren't you. I just nodded my head to show I understood. There was no point in having him worry for me right now. 

-Once they reached Mt. Fujikasane they were surrounded by Wisteria trees.-

Giyuu: Look, Sabito! Wisteria trees! Even though they're out of season...

Sabito: *smiles at Giyuu before walking forward slightly to see stairs* Stairs...?

Giyuu: We should probably climb them, right?

-They climb up the stairs to see a few Demon Slayers and 2 identical twins standing in the middle of the shrine. One of the twins had white hair, while the other had black.-

Giyuu: I think they're waiting for more Demon Slayers to come..?

Sabito: Yeah...Let's talk to people in the meantime!

Giyuu: Wait-Why???

Sabito: Just come...*drags Giyuu along with him and goes to a random demon slayer* Hello! My name is Sabito and this is my friend Giyuu Tomioka!

???: O-Oh! Hello. My name is Murata.

Sabito: Giyuu, say hi.

Giyuu: H-Hello.
