Title: "Do You Blame Yourself?"
-
He had been tossing and turning all night.
-
There were still a few hours until dawn and Giyuu hadn't gotten a blink of sleep. 
-
He usually slept like a baby when Y/n was next to him, but something just felt off.
-
His eyes closed again and suddenly everything shifted.
-
He saw someone, in this black abyss behind his eyelids, and walked towards them.
-
He saw his old friend, his girlfriend's deceased brother, Sabito.
-
The one he failed to save in the final selection.
-
The reason why he was a fake hashira.
-
Sabito turned and waved, his mask hiding his expression, no doubt a kind smile.
-
He heard a startling voice from behind him now- one that sounded quite similar to his own, monotone voice.
-
"Do you blame yourself?"
-
It took him a moment to turn around and his eyebrows furrowed when he made eye contact with a darker, more sinister version of himself.
-
At this point, Giyuu couldn't trust his own emotions and act on them properly.
-
"W-what?"
-
The other Giyuu tilted his head.
-
"Well, it's quite common in this situation for a patient to feel a kind of...guilt."
-
His breathing became heavier.
-
"What situation?"
-
He knew what situation.
-
...
-
"The accident."
-
The other Giyuu pointed behind him, and when Giyuu turned around he threw his hands over his mouth.
-
Sabito lay there, a puddle of crimson soaking through his clothes, his head so crushed you could see his skull.
-
Giyuu heard another voice, and he turned around and saw Tanjiro.
-
He wiped the small tear that spilled from his eye and walked closer.
-
"It's quite common for people to invent blame or create a causality, when in reality," he began, his usual kind smile spread across his face.
-
His smile slowly faded into a sad, pitiful stare.
-
"It was completely out of your control."
-
Giyuu awoke with a start, his chest hurting and his head pounding as sweat poured down his face and arms.
-
He felt a shift from next to him. 
-
"Giyuu? What're you doing up, darling?" 
-
It was his girlfriend, Y/n. 
-
It was too soon for Giyuu to look at you after his "dream".
-
You had his hair, his smile, his personality- but you were two different people and Giyuu had to remind himself of that.
-
"Just a- just a nightmare. Go back to sleep."
-
You smiled sadly and motioned for Giyuu to cuddle up in your open arms. 
-
He complied.
-
And he fell into a long-awaited dreamless slumber.
