The next morning, as Giyuu was walking down the stairs, he saw Shinobu.
"Ohayo, Giyuu-san~"
The way she says my name sends a shiver down my spine.
"Ohayo, Kocho."
"Hmm?"
"Ohayo."
"Who are you talking to, Giyuu-san?"
"You."
"Then why didn't you say my name?"
I let out a soft sigh. "Ohayo, Shi-shinobu."
"Who's Shi-shinobu?"
"Ohayo, Shinobu."
"Perfect!" she says with a smile.
"Giyuu-san, sorry."
"For what?"
"I, you know..."
"Koch- I mean, Shinobu."
"Why are you saying my name with so much difficulty, Giyuu-san? I can say your name easily, see? Gi~yuu"
I don't know why, but it makes me embarrassed when she says my name like that. A blush appeared on the Water Hashira's face, which he swiftly tried to hide. Emphasis on the word "tried" — his effort was futile.
"Ara ara, Giyuu-san, why are you embarrassed?"
"It's been a while since someone called me by my first name."
"Ara, Giyuu-san, that's why you're so embarrassed?"
"Yes."
"Gi~yuu"
"Hmm."
"I like your name, Giyuu-san. It rolls off the tongue easily and it's fun to say. Gi~yuu"
"Stop."
"No."
"Please."
"Gi"
