Warnings: Mentions of Tanjiro's family's death

Tanjiro was scared. He had just been in the village selling charcoal, and on his way back up the mountain, he was feeling small, but when he saw the bodies of his family, he fully regressed.

He was so happy that he nearly burst into tears in relief when he found his younger sister, Nezuko, alive, and he started to carry her down the mountain.

He was still feeling small, though, and so he was already unstable on hi feet, and paired with the snow, he completely lost his footing and fell down one of the mountain cliffs, bringing Nezuko with him.

Once the fall had ended and they had reached the ground, Tanjiro actually did end up bursting into tears, curling himself into a ball, now feeling extremely little. Nezuko, who had gained consciousness at this point, recognized her brother and recognized that he was regressed and in distress, and she immediately entered caregiver mode. She rushed over to her brother and scooped him into her arms, attempting to calm him down.

Giyuu, who had been watching all this going on at a distance, sheathed his katana that he had had out. He had been sent to execute a demon that had been on the mountain, but he had arrived too late as the demon had already slaughtered the boy, Tanjiro's family, and his only living family member, Nezuko, had been turned into a demon, so Giyuu was going to execute her, but after what he had witnessed, he didn't think that that would be necessary. Instead, he approached the two.

Nezuko saw him coming and moved to stand protectively in front of Tanjiro, who had calmed down by now and was just quietly babbling to himself as he played with handfuls of snow. "I'm not going to hurt either of you." Giyuu stated, coming closer.

When Nezuko didn't Budge and instead became more protective, Giyuu sighed. He stopped walking forward and instead sat down. "I just want to help you two." He told Nezuko. She continued to glare at him until she felt a tug on her hand.

She turned around, and her eyes softened as Tanjiro pointed to a small snowman that he had made. Nezuko ruffled his hair affectionately before glancing back at Giyuu, who hadn't moved from where he sat, and now was blankly staring at nothing.

Nezuko sighed, which brought Giyuu's attention back to her and Tanjiro. Nezuko gestured that it was okay for Giyuu to come closer. And so he did, sitting down with her and her brother.

Tanjiro noticed Giyuu for the first time and let out a dramatized gasp. "What's wrong?" Giyuu asked, worried about Tanjiro's reaction. "So pretty." Tanjiro said, pointing at Giyuu's haori. "Oh, thank you." Giyuu thanked him.

"Mhm." Tanjiro nodded and reached out, tugging at Giyuu's hand. "Yes, little one?" Giyuu asked. "Build snowman with me and Nezu?" Tanjiro asked. Giyuu nodded, and he spent the rest of the day building snowmen with Tanjiro and Nezuko.
