Kimetsu no Yaiba: Fates (OC x Giyuu)

Blossoming Feelings

Giyuu's POV

I am at Shirakawa-go village, below the Natagumo mountains, gathering intel regarding a possible uppermoon demon. Multiple demonslayers already entered the mountains and I havent heard anything from them since.

"I wonder how is she doing" my mind is asking weird questions again.

I can still remember the time when I was at Urodaki's place after that first encounter with her on the woods with her brother,Tanjirou.

...................................*******..................................

*Flashback 5 years ago*

Giyuu left Urodaki's place still asking himself why he made a promise. And that promise even involves not hurting a demon.

"I must be out of my mind" Giyuu complained. But still he cant get his mind off  this girl whom he just met let alone wondering why did he also ask her name. Certainly, he reassured of himself that he is not of his usual self.

Giyuu went back to the same forest where he first met Yuki. The blood that splattered there before is nowhere to be found because of the heavy snow but Giyuu's eyes and mind are trained enough to track someone especially a demon.

He proceeded to head east from the direction where I first encountered Nezuko.
There are claw marks on some branches baffling Giyuu making him imagine that Nezuko is struggling with herself.

Until...there are no more tracks of her. As if she disappeared.

Giyuu then signaled his crow to come to him. Speaking something to it then send it off

"Deliver this message to Oyakata-sama" he implored. He then again double checked the tracks once again and made a wider search on the mountains but to no avail. He surrendered and wandered back to Urodaki's house.

He opened the door to find Yuki, Tanjirou and Urodaki having their dinner. Yuki smiled at him, as if welcoming his return.

"Ba-dump" Giyuu felt something weird again as his eyes wandered on her beautiful eyes and her pinkish lips, wondering how she can maintain such visage when she was just injured before.

He snapped out of his thoughts when Urodaki signaled him to come and have a meal with them.

Giyuu sat on the empty space beside Yuki. Yuki passed a bowl of rice to Giyuu as he lowered his head a bit with a sign of gratitude. The moment that Yuki was going to serve him the soup their hands made contact and both of them at the same time pulled away.

Tanjirou detected a scent of awkwardness and...something else. Urodaki just made a hearty laugh as they continued eating.

As months passed by Giyuu found out that Tanjirou is has a strong sense of smell allowing him to detect approaching objects. Urodaki gave both Yuki and Tanjirou an explanation about demons and the demon slayers which is a non-government organization that swore to protect and eradicate demons. Realizing that entering the organization will allow both Yuki and Tanjirou to find Nezuko they pleaded to Giyuu and Urodaki to teach them.

Giyuu recommended Tanjirou to Urodaki, his sense of smell can be proves useful as a demon slayer.

"Why did you recommended my brother and not me???" Yuki pouted at Giyuu. Giyuu turned his back at her to not be affected by her.... strange affliction on him.

"You will not be helpful in battle Yuki" he said flatly. Part of his mind also telling him to put her out of danger.

"Giyuu! There must be some way I can convince you!" Yuki continued to argue as she ran to face him once again. She approached her face near his their nose almost touching.
