In Another World

Just A Bully

"Come on and fight me!" Sanemi Shinazugawa screamed for the seventh time.
Giyu Tomioka stood a few feet away from him fist up and ready to strike but hesitate as well. He hated fighting Sanemi but for some reason the guy was always down for a brawl.
"Come on"
"No"
Sanemi split shirt showed of his muscled chest amd hardened nipples making it difficult for Giyu to concentrate.
His forearms were bulging as he held his arms up and Giyu swallowed putting even more room between him and the guy who always acted like he wanted to kill him.
"What are you doing being a pussy again?" Sanemi snapped and charged towards him with a amazing speed. Giyu dodged him easily keeping as much space between them as possible between his movements.
"I'm not a pussy I'm just sick of doing this with you"
"Your to slow" he screamed at him and went for his feet.
"If I'm so slow how am I dodging you so easily" Giyu responded.
"Because I'm letting you" Sanemi flipped on his hands spinning his whole body around and kicked his feet out towards Giyu and even though he missed Giyu still stumbled and fell back.
"Ha what did I tell you" he gloated and jumped back on his feet.
"Aww fuck you man"
Giyu stood up and straightened his clothes this shit was pissing him off and honestly he had better things to do then fight with Sanemi all the time.
"That's it I'm done" he picked up his bag and started to leave.
The place they were in was small only used for a gym and occasionally boxing ring. It was a place Giyu and all of his friends liked to work up sweat and would occasionally meet up here. Instead the only person there today was good ol Sanemi who took the rest of his anger out on a punching bag that was falling apart.
Giyu watched the intensity in his eyes, the way his face flared and the way his chest was pushing out with his movements. He was noticing to much of him so it was time to go, he  gave up that brawl with Sanemi cause he was afraid to feel what it wouldn't be like to have him on top of himself. He bit his lip and stared until Sanemi caught his eye.
"What's wrong pussy boy want to go again"
"No" time to go he rushed out of the gym as fast as he could and headed home.
He breathed easier when he was home and his room mate Tanjiro Kamado was always there with a nice welcoming smile.
Giyu shut the door behind him and dropped his bag shouting out he was home and headed towards the kitchen where he found Tanjiro cutting away at chives and veggies.
"Oh my gosh that seems like more then for two" he commented and sat down to watch the master at work.
Tanjiro laughed and wiped his brow.
"If you don't mind I invited my sister and Zenitsu over here they said Inosuke might show up later to so I gotta make a lot of food"
Giyu nodded and picked up some chives and put it in his mouth earning a disapproveing look from his roommate.
"Them two still having trouble?" He asked
"Yeah my sister says Zenitsu to clingy and he thinks she not obsessed with him enough" he shook his head.
"I don't know what's going but tonight I'm going to try to fix it" he smiled and showed off the platter of rice balls.
That was so like him to help people who may not even need or want help.
"Ok do you need any help"
"Nah I'm good tell me about Sanemi"
Giyu groaned he really didn't want to talk about the one major problems in his life.
His attraction to Sanemi wasn't normal at least to him it wasn't normal.
The only people who knew was Tanjiro and Muichiro other then that he kept his feelings to himself. Tanjiro was loyal whole Muichiro would never tell anybody anything that wasn't insulting so Sanemi or anyone else still hasn't found out.
"He still hates me" Giyu finally said.
"Nah he doesn't hate you"
Giyu scoffed and pulled at his hair letting it run through his fingers.
"Have you seen him? He always acts like he wants to kill me. I mean I'm thrilled that he's so good at Aikido and Karate but it's starting to go way to his head"
Tanjiro continued chopping keeping his head low to watch his hands and listening at the same time.
"Did he call you slow and what about...oh what was that line..oh a pussy boy"
Giyu laughed.
"Yes wait how did you know"
"Oh he started calling me names last week when he decided to train me"
Giyu kinda felt bad for his roommate and friend. Unlike him Tanjiro started late on his training but was catching up quick, he showed real potential in most areas except for when it came to sparring with other people afraid he would hurt them. But he was good and quick and deserving of praise instead Sanemi would only insult and scorn him.
"Sometimes I wonder why I even like him he pisses me the hell of but at the same time I..I don't know" his voice traveled off.
"It's ok your in love with him big deal at least he doesn't know or he'll threat you more like shit then he already does"
"Haha your probably right"
Sanemi was a difficult man to understand after disowning his own brother he became more angry and harder to read. He was good at whatever he put his hands to and always pushed past his limits more then anyone else yet he was a bitch and barely anyone liked him except the people who knew and understood him.
"Tanjiro if you don't mind can we talk about something else"
He pulled out Tempura and set it on a warmer.
"Yeah I don't mind sorry"

Later that day Giyu was back in the gym against his will training with little Muichiro who decided that his opponent was going to be  the padded dummy in the corner instead of Giyu which is what he was there for. Every once in a while Muichiro would stop landing shots at the dummy and let his eyes drift off to another man that stood a little bit farther from him. He didn't know this man not really but Giyu had heard about him over and over.
"Did you see that guy do this? and did you look at his skin and on and on Muichiro would make small mindless comments about but Giyu knew the truth he had a crush on the guy and was to afraid to approach him and say something nice.
"Giyu" Muichiro called and waved him to come over.
Finally maybe they were finally going to do what they came for.
Instead when Giyu came over Muichiro pointed at the man in front of him and bit his lip before covering his mouth with his hand.
"What?" Giyu question and glanced from his friend to the oblivious man he was pointing at.
"He's...he's beautiful" his friend whispered and his face colored red.
"Then go talk to him"
"Ok" he said cheerfully taking Giyu by surprise.
Wait he was actually going to talk to him?
Would he say something nice?
Muichiro trotted over while Giyu traveled behind.
"Hi" the man said awkwardly as they approached.
Muichiro didn't waste time but introduced himself and the man introduced himself as Kenji.
Muichiro then proceeded to point his finger at him and say the longest amount of words Giyu has ever heard him speak at once.
"I've been watching you and I noticed your doing everything wrong, your punching with your thumbs outside of your hands when there supposed to be tucked inside to keep from breaking. Your kicks are weak so you should probably do more leg work outs and I'm also noticing some Judo styles which are also weak so you should probably get a better teacher. In all words you suck and should probably never come back to this gym until you have done everything I've told you and more and help yourself by getting a teacher"
By the time he was done Giyu stood beside him in shock with his mouth hanging open.
Not only did Muichiro insult poor Kenji but he's never heard him speak so much but poor Kenji looked like he was going to cry. He ripped the tape off around his hands and left without saying a word back to either one of them.
Giyu pulled his friend aside and grabbed onto his shoulders.
"What the fuck was that"
"What you told me to talk to him"
"And be nice why do I have to add be nice in everything before you talk"
"I don't understand" he said plainly with no emotion.
"I talked to him isn't that all that matters?"
Giyu shook his. It wasn't worth talking about poor Muichiro didn't have any parents but was passed around in the Foster care system for years and after his twin brother was killed he left the Foster care system and went out on his own before 16. He was alone for a while making his way day by day until he meant Tanjiro who changed his life at least a little bit.
"Nevermind if your not going to practice with me we should just go"
Muichiro nodded and began to leave but stopped and grabbed onto Giyus arm.
"What's wrong"
"Isn't that the was Sanemi talks to you yet your still in love with him."
Giyu felt his face turn red he was right not only did Sanemi talk like that to him it felt like he tried to kill him everytime they were around each other.
And yet he still liked him?
Or loved him?
Sanemi was pretty much just a bully to everyone else but to Giyu he felt like he was the person he needed to get in bed with and make his eyes roll back in intense pleasure.
He shook his head he shouldnt be thinking about this stuff in public or next to his friend.
"Yeah...yeah I guess you're right" he finally said and pushed Muichiro out the door.
