DEMON SLAYER ONESHOTS

Under His Stone Cold Heart ➵ T. Giyuu x R. Kyojuro

ROYAL + MODERN AU

PROMPT: Giyuu Tomioka, one of the five holy knights, was a legend throughout every Kingdom. He was a fine, yet reclusive man—the idea of a romantic relationship deemed unnecessary and wasteful to him. However, after being sent off to the Flame Kingdom, he finds himself infatuated with the prince, Kyojuro Rengoku.

✻ ✻ ✻

  GIYUU quietly slid the door open, glancing down both hallways before entering the prince's chamber. Midnight had struck, most of the staff returning to the lowest floor of the castle, and calling it a day. He was blessed with the position of Kyojuro's courtier, as it had given him the privilege to spend more time with the man he had fallen helplessly in love with.

"There you are, I was worried you wouldn't show."

He turned around with a small smile, taking slow strides towards Kyojuro's bed. "I had to schedule some of my men for the night. I cannot allow anything to happen to you, my prince." Giyuu lowered himself onto his right knee, taking his hand, and placing a soft kiss over his knuckles.

Kyojuro chuckled, feeling heat creeping up his neck and resting on his cheeks. "That's king to you someday! I'm only a month away from my coronation." He held his face, bringing it closer to his. "I'm so glad I have you with me. I couldn't possibly manage without you." He pressed a kiss to Giyuu's lips, pulling away quickly afterwards.

Giyuu placed himself beside Kyojuro, interlocking their fingers, and began to rub his hand with the pad of his thumb. "I am nothing more but your courtier, I do not deserve such praise." He said, sighing deeply as he approached his next words.

"You are to find a wife of royal status, and I unfortunately do not qualify for that position." He attempted to joke, however, as he tilted his head to take a look at his boyfriend, he was met with a serious expression.

Kyojuro threw himself over his ridiculously large bed, bringing an arm over his eyes, shielding his tears from pouring out. "Must you need to remind me? I dread for that moment to come. I cannot stand the idea of marrying a women, not that I hate them." He began to rant, Giyuu's gaze fixed upon the creamy brown walls as he listened.

"I just never imagined myself to be with one. The women I have met are wonderful, truly! But, I just can't feel the spark that they claim to feel."

Kyojuro lifted himself with the push of his arm, propping his cheek against his palm. "You are the one I wish to spend the rest of my life with." He bit back a smile, searching his face to find any kind of positive reaction. He basically implied a future with him.

Giyuu covered his mouth, the corners of his lips visible enough for Kyojuro to realize he couldn't contain his happiness. "Truly? You are not toying with me now, are you?" He asked, unable to mask the worry in his tone. It honestly offended Kyojuro, for him to doubt his love? Ouch.

Although, it was reasonable.

"Yes! You are the man fit for me! I wish to scream it to the entire kingdom that I am in a relationship with you. You are one of a kind, Giyuu," Kyojuro paused momentarily, scooting closer to his side as his eyes flickered to his lips. He breathed in, exhaling heavily as he whispered the next three words.

"I love you, Yuu."

Giyuu snapped his head towards him, eyes wide and breath caught in his throat. The world had seem to just randomly stopped functioning, time coming to an abrupt stop for them. The words echoed in his mind, repeating way too many times that it nearly felt all too unrealistic.

"Y-You.. You said it." He muttered, sliding his tongue over his dry lips, and clearing his throat. "Is this a cruel joke?" Giyuu gradually backed away, profusely blinking his eyes to keep the tears from forming. Kyojuro shook his head, his smile enlarging.

"No! I love you, Giyuu! So much, I dream of you every night, and desire to hold you every second we spend together." He lunged forward; capturing Giyuu by surprise, lips meeting with another kiss, and their emotions overflowing as they connected. Kyojuro cupped the side of his face, and angled his head to get a better taste of sweet blueberry with a hint of peppermint.

As they broke apart, Giyuu didn't waste any time to return the confession.

"I love you too, Kyo."
