Silently in love - Sanegiyuu

18 / Giyuu's estate, injured

GIYUU POV:

I was disctracted when i noticed my door creaked open. it was Kanroji and Mui. "Kyaahhh! Giyuu-san! Your injured! Are you ok? How are you feeling?" I saw Kanroji say. I felt happy that some people were somewhat happy to see me. I guess my face smiled a little, so I let them in.

They followed me to the main room and we all sat down. Then Kanroji started talking fast as usual, but it distracted me from the pain of my wound so I watched what she said. She catched me up on the Hashira meeting, and on other stuff. But Mui was looking out the window and then looked back at me.
"Shinazugawa is outside." Mui said.
I was shocked. Was he watching me? It was a little weird. "Why don't we invite him inside!" Kanroji suggested.
I shook my head but Kanroji had already ran to the door and called Shinazugawa's name... Great.
He came inside and we locked eyes. He then sat down with us because Mitsuri insisted. It was akward. I was now hyper focused, and my wound was painful like hell.
"Umm... how is the injury?" he mouthed.
"It's fine." I said, trying to brush it off.I didn't wanna make them concerned.
"Well, you'll recover soon right Nii-chan?" Mui asked me when i looked at him. I nodded. I don't really remember when Mui started calling me brother but it was nice. The room was silent and it was super akward I needed to do something.
"Thank yuu for coming but I need to do things." I said. Mitsuri and Muichiro were worried about my injury and me doing 'things' but i reassured them. They soon decided to leave. Phew...

But Shinazugawa didn't get out yet. What did he want? "Giyuu, you still don't look good. I can tell." He mouthed.
"and?" I said.

"Well, don't do anything to push yourself ok?"
"Yu're treating me like baby again..."
"I- I'm not! I just wanna know you'll recover soon. K?"
Why did he care?

"Whatever.. " I said.

He paused for a few secs. But then he started speaking again.
"Giyuu, can we talk, properly. I mean it. Finally."

-- Iwas slightly annoyed, but i better get this over with sooner than later.

"Go ahead." I encouraged.

"Well, I feel guilty for treating you badly- and I promise it's not because I found out you're deaf... if that's what you're thinking... ...."

I crossed my arms.

"Giyuu! I was wrong, No matter what you think of me! I'm truly sorry... I respect you, really! And I don't want it to be like this anymore, I won't stop trying untill you forgive me! I know I can't take back what I did, but I want to change. Will you give me a chance?"

I thought for a second. His expressions seemed genuine, and Something came over me. He was right, he can't undo what he did to me, but maybe I should give him a chance? He won't stop bothering me either way. But I didn't realise I had nodded physically and not just in my head-

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes alright.... But I still don't know if I can fully forgiv yu..."

"I won't let you down!" He said. I never saw that dude so happy in my life, he's always an angry person. I thought he was gonna say more , but he just left my estate??? Oh well. I hope my decision was right....

It was night and I just rotted in my estate and thought about my interaction with Shinazugawa. The overthinking made me stressed and my wound hurt so much. I took my top off and looked at it. Maybe I should change the bandage. I grabbed the First Aid kit in my estate and took off the old bandage. It was like hell, but one problem- I didn't know how to make the bandage stay on- I thought as a demon slayer who always gets injured in battle would know, but Kocho was good at that stuff, so I just went to her. She is like the doctor of the Corps.

I fiddled with the bandages, how stupid would i be to not know a simple thing. Just then Somebody walked into my house WHILE I WAS SHIRTLESS.

It was Kocho??? I saw her say:

"Sorry , I knocked on the door but-"
And she stared at me. Why was she staring at me she's the one who barged in here?!

"Well, I'm deaf yu know...." I said .

"Of course silly!" she looked calm as always. "But, care to explain what you're doing right now?"

"Yu came to my house .." I said.

"Bandage Tomioka-san! Why did you take the bandage off without me?  What are you doing ?!"

"Uhh." before I could say more she came over and grabbed the fresh bandage right out of my hands and looked at me.

"Do you wan't me to help you or not?" I didn't want her to know I can't bandage my own wounds properly...

"It's fine..I can do it myself"

and she started wrapping the bandage before i blinked, I gritted my teeth so I wouldn't make a noise but he looked at me weirdly. Was I making a noise anyway?
"Tomioka-san, you obviously can't do it youself. If you need the Bandaged changed,  you should have came to me alright?" I saw her say. Why was she lecturing me?
"Tomioka-san, I'm just worried about you"--
yea, like she would worry about me seriously. She only treats my injuries because she is the only Hashira who is the most skilled in that. But whatever, she finished and pulled on the front so tight I nearly suffocated.

"It needs to be tight or It won't work." She said while tying a knot. I flinched.

"Are you taking care of yourself? It shouldn't be as painful anymore." She said.

"Thank but I can take care of myself." I said. Suddenly, Kocho came closer to my face.
"I never said that you needed someone to take care of you.. but it seems that way. " She said . Then, she came even closer to my fave which made me uncomfortable.
"Tomioka, Please just do what I tell you and heal yourself..." I saw her mouth.But her usual calm /happy expression was more of a shocked one. Weird. Then she said she was heading off and smiled and walked out.

Why did she come to my estate in the first place anyway?
