Love And Ashes

Chapter Eight

"I'll see you next week, alright?" Giyuu said, hugging his mom and sister goodbye while sanemi just awkwardly stood to the side.

"Of course! Oh- and bring your friend, alright?" His mom said, walking over to sanemi and giving him a big mama bear hug. He smiled and hugged her back.

"Right.. if he isn't busy, okay?" Giyuu said, watching while his mom kissed sanemis cheek, causing the boy to blush and get all flustered.

"I'm never too busy to see your family, giyuu" He said, rubbing his neck sheepishly.

"You can always come by yourself sanemi" tsutako whispered, silently trying to tease giyuu, which it was working.

"He is MY friend, stop it" giyuu said, kicking tsutakos leg, not hard, but still hard enough. Tsutako slightly pouted, sighing.

"Whatever you say bunny"

"Do NOT call me that you witch-" giyuu said, blushing profusely. Sanemi was watching the two
argue, trying hard not to laugh.

"Bunny..?" Sanemi asked, causing giyuu to turn red, hitting sanemis waist harshly.

"Stop! Don't call me that! She just used to call me that when we were younger" giyuu said, covering his, his face tomato colored. Tsutako, his mom, and sanemi were all laughing at him.

"You wanna know what his nickname for me was?" Tsutako asked, covering her mouth as giyuu tried kicking her but missed.

"Don't you dare-"

"He used to call me Bambi!" She smiled, sanemi laughing as he put his arm over giyuus shoulder in a.. friendly way.

At that point giyuu was relieved that he was embarrassed because of the nickname so sanemi couldn't tell that he was blushing. Blushing because sanemi had put a arm on his shoulder.

Sanemis arm was on his shoulder.

Sanemis arm. Was on giyuus shoulder.

Sanemis arm.

Giyuus shoulder.

Wow.

"That's really cute! My siblings just called me Nemi, but that's it. I wish we had cuter nicknames like that" sanemi said, pulling his hand away, accidentally brushing giyuus hair too, causing giyuu to jump.

"We really need to go- let's go, sanemi." Giyuu said, uncovering his face buf still blushing, not because of the nicknames anymore but because his heart was beating fast.

Because of his old "enemy" whose name just so happened to be Sanemi Shinazugawa.

"Whatever you say bunny~" sanemi teased, walking out of the house, waving to the two women.

Giyuu just smacked sanemi, thought his smack wasn't exactly hard. It was pretty soft, causing sanemi to snicker slightly.

"I like your family, they are funny, especially your sister" sanemi smiled, leaning his head back slightly, his hair falling against his face gracefully.

"She's pushing 32, that's to old for you." Giyuu said, trying to hide his jealousy. Of course sanemi would like his sister. She looked so vibrant, she was the opposite of him.

She was friendly, beautiful, cheerful, loving, smart, and didn't have ANY problems. Overall she was an amazing person, she could have anyone and everyone.

Even animals loved her.

But when giyuu saw an animal he would get scared AND the animal would too.

Giyuu just looked down, kicking the rocks on the ground beneath his feet.
