The Band // Giyuu Angst

Chapter 3 - The 8th

Teehee I'm back and writing again!! Anyway, this is just the next day.

TW! THERE IS MENTION OF N33DL3S AROUND THE BEGINNING!!

I sighed as I watched the sun rise through my window. I checked the time and rubbed my eyes, before returning my attention to my lyric book. Because of the view, I finally got some more inspiration to write.

After about an hour, I got up and changed, putting on a white turtleneck and light blue cargos, being careful as I pulled the sleeves over my bandaged arms. I put a necklace on too, it was one I received from Tsutako last year. I brushed my hair out and realised how long it had gotten. I decided to act on impulse, and I grabbed some scissors and turned to the mirror. I was relatively good at cutting my hair, so I went for it.

As I cut it, I thought back to a conversation with Sabito.

***

"Giyuu! I love how soft your hair is.." Sabito said to me as he put my hair up into a small ponytail. I smiled softly.

"Well, if we ever get split up, I'll cut it short, and it won't get this long again." I half-joked. Sabito sighed.

"We'll never get split up."

"Well I guess I'll be Rapunzel then."

***

I sighed after I finished it, and I ran my fingers through my now short hair. I still had a few hours before school, and Urokodaki had told me I wasn't allowed to leave too early today. I went into my bathroom and looked at the hair dye I owned. There was a dark blue and a light pink. I wet my hair and did a dark blue fade, like I usually did, and then a small strip of light pink, from my roots to my fringe. It was for Sabito.

About another hour later, I had washed my hair, brushed it, and anxiously took a testosterone shot for the first time. I sat on the bathroom floor, panicking slightly as I stared at the needle. Shaking my head, I took a deep breath and calmed myself, before convincing myself to finally inject it. I then headed downstairs, headphones around my neck, phone in hand and a bag of my stuff. My mask was in my pocket.

"Happy birthday!" I heard Urokodaki say, and I smiled at him.

"Thank you, Urokodaki-"

"Dad." He interrupted. I chuckled softly and shook my head.

"Thanks, dad." I corrected myself, smiling. He hugged me, and he asked if I wanted any breakfast. I stayed quiet, thinking, but he then smiled.

"You don't have to say yes, Giyuu."

I nodded and gave him a small smile. "Maybe later."

"Alright, that's fine."

With these words, he then quickly left the room, leaving me confused for a second. After he returned, he walked to me with a gift in his hands. "Here, Giyuu." He said. I looked up at him, then at the gift.

"What is it-?" I asked, to which he replied, "Open it and you'll see."

I sighed and shook my head. "Alright.." I said, gently opening the gift. As I got past the wrapping paper, and opened the box, I looked up at him and smiled brightly. "Wait- I- Really-?"

He nodded. "Do you like it?" He asked.

I nodded quickly and hugged him, smiling widely. He chuckled and hugged me back. "Thank you!"

The gift was a wooden fox mask, a larger copy of matching keychains Sabito and I had. It was the design Sabito owned, and I had already decided where to put it in my room. "I love it, dad."

After I left for school, I quickly got to the bus, where Haru greeted me. As I handed her the money for the bus, she smiled, quietly wishing me a happy birthday. I thanked her and went to my normal spot on the bus, putting my headphones on and quickly adjusting my mask.

I felt the bus stop, and I looked up, checking the stop. Haru nodded at me and I waved as I left the bus. As I walked towards the campus, I saw Shinobu and Mitsuri waiting for me. I took my headphones off and put them away as I got closer.

Mitsuri and Shinobu had come over to me and told me to close my eyes, so I did. They then led me to the band room, opened the door, and told me to open my eyes. I did so, and smiled softly under the mask. The rest of the band was sat in the room, with party decorations. "Happy birthday, Giyuu!" They all said in unison, albeit some slightly quicker or slower at saying it than the others. My heart warmed at their effort. I chuckled softly, looking at them.

"Thanks guys, I-" I paused, trying to figure out what to say through the rush of my emotions. "I dont know what to say, but-" I chuckled. Shinobu laughed loudly and basically jumped on my shoulders.

"You're welcome, Tomi~!!" She said loudly. I rolled my eyes at her nickname for me, and some of the others chuckled. The band all smiled, then gave me their gifts. "I- You guys didn't have to-"

"But we did! Open them!!" Mitsuri squealed happily.

By the end of the day, I was ultimately exhausted, but it was fun. Uzui and Rengoku both got me hoodies, Gyomei had gotten me a book that I had been wanting, Iguro the same, though a different book. Mitsuri had gotten me a necklace, Shinobu had just given me a gift card, which personally amazing, and Sanemi got me a new lyric book.

I stepped into my house, where I was greeted with Nezuko, Tanjiro and Urokodaki. I smiled at them, as the two younger siblings yelled, "Happy Birthday!!".

Urokodaki then walked up to me, and handed me another gift. I looked at him, and he smiled. "Open it. Don't question it." He said. I nodded and opened it. I scanned the gift, which was just some paper. Although, as I looked on the paper, I looked back up at Urokodaki, smiling widely.

Urokodaki had been my legal guardian, ever since my parents passed, and Tsutako moved to England, but he wasn't seen as my parent by terms of the law. Tanjiro and Nezuko, on the other hand, had been adopted by him.

However; this would change that. "How would you like me to adopt you, Giyuu?"

I hugged him tightly, on the verge of tears from happiness. "Yes! Oh my god, thank you- I-"

Tanjiro and Nezuko then joined in on the hug, all of us smiling brightly.
