Silently in love - Sanegiyuu

23 / Mismatched Haori

GIYUU POV

The next day, we have a hashira meeting. Nothing special. Mitsuri was excited to see me, but then again Mitsuri is nice or everyone. Sanemi and I left on good terms.

Master began the meeting, talking about the Demons and assigning missions as usual. I felt someone staring at me. I looked to my right. It was just Kanroji, Muichiro, Himejima and Sanemi- HE WAS STARING RIGHT AT ME....!!!! I looked away quick. Why did we have to lock eyes? Was there something on my face? I think Master was talking about Muzan now.

"Yes, So , I suggest that we...." Himejima was saying, but i didn't catch anything after that because i wasn't looking at his face, I instead saw sanemi looking at me then turning quick. Is this a threat or something? (((😭))) Was there something on my face still? I rubbed my face but didn't get anything. So I just ignored it.

After the Hashira meeting, Sanemi Tapped my shoulder when everyone had already left a second ago.
"Umm, you wanna do something?" I saw sanemi say.
"Sure." I was glad he wanted to do something with me!! but then i remembered...
"Umm , Why were you looking at me..??? Was there something on my face???" I asked. Usually i don't question when people judge me but i am curious.

"WHAT? Of course not ? I was just , staring at Gyomei.? He was adding some really good points to the meeting and you know?" Sanemi defended.

"Ok, well then, what do you want to do?" I asked Sanemi.
"Let's go on a walk or something... you know!.."
He seemed kind of less aggressive than usual, if that's even possible. it is SANEMI i'm talking about.

We were walking into the forest, but I kind of regret it. The sky was dark.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I asked him while looking at him.
"Why is it NOT?" He said back.
"Because it looks like rain." I replied. Sanemi looked up at the sky and then looked back at me.
"Let's go back if you want to..." -- I agreed. Rain was not my favorite thing. So we turned around and started walking back. We didn't really talk much. Also because i'd have to look at him and i wouldn't be watching where i'm walking.

We were about to exit the forest when it finally started to rain badly. Great. It was also making the floor muddy too. And also my haori. I know it's bound to get dirty but It still makes me sad. I tried to brush water off of it stupidly because it was soaked now. Just as i was going to give up. A shadow casted over me. I looked up. It was Sanemi, holding his haori over me.... I GOT SO EMBARRASSED I tripped right there on the wet mud and splashed it all over me and some on sanemi's socks.
"Giyuu!." I saw him call out to me. I wanted to crawl in a holeeeee it was so embarrassing. Sanemi kneeled down to me as i sat up. Now my haori is dirty, my uniform is dirty, there's mud all over my face and i embarrassed myself!! "Always something with you huh," Sanemi said as he offered his hand out to me. I took it and he pulled me up.
"What do you mean???" I asked him.
"Well, first you were injured and now there's mud all over you. You're so careless!" Sanemi said.

"No, I was just startled by-" Sanemi held his haori over me like an umbrella.
"By what...?" Sanemi smirked. I rolled my eyes back.
"Alright alright.." Sanemi smiled and He offered HIS HAND OUT TO ME... I grabbed it nervously.. I'd never expect this from SANEMI.. My haori was dirty yet again though... I hated when it was dirty.

"Umm, I should go home.." I said to Sanemi.
"I'll walk you. And you can was the mud off your clothes." His lips said.
"What about your haori?" I asked Sanemi. It was soaked as he held it above me as we started walking.
"It's JUST a piece of fabric? So is your haori? " He said. I couldn't help but look down. At my muddy haori. What was so attaching about it? Yes it was Nee-san's and Sabito's, but i've been treating it like a real person. Just then, Sanemi tapped my shoulder and I looked at him saying "What?"

"Whatever." I replied.

"No. What's so special about your haori? It's JUST a, ehem, i mean WHY are you always adoring it, I mean"
"Well, It belonged to special people." I replied. Maybe i could tell him.

"Whaa- who?" He questioned. I took a breath.

"The red side is my sister's, And the other my best friend.." I said.

"I'm colourblind-"

"The patterned side is my best friends..." I sighed.

"Sooo, that's why it's Mismatched.. I thought you just liked weird patterns.."

We both stood still for a second.

"Sooooooooooooo, if you got a bestfriend, Why do you hangout alone?? Is he not a corp member?" Sanemi questioned. I should have expected it."He died. In final selection." Sanemi paused in front of me.

"Oh.. I'm sorry." He said. I get he is trying to be sympathetic, but i find it hard to talk about.

"He died Protecting me.."

"And your sister??" Sanemi asked. Then he looked upset. "Sorry, maybe I shouldn't-"

"No. Your fine. Nobody has asked me before. Nobody talked to me really. -- She died protecting me too, from a demon.. And that was when I-"

"Became deaf? From the demon?" I nodded at his question. "FUCKING DEMONS! I'LL KILL EVERY ONE OF THEM." Sanemi started getting angry again. I could tell he was shouting my that expression of his.

"We all want to Kill the demons... They have taken things from everyone here." I said. It was sad and true. Then I realised we had walked so far we were at my estate. Sanemi turned to me as I opened the door.

"Can-"
"You can come in.." I said to him with a small smile. I guessed that's what he wanted.
