shinobu + giyuu oneshots

I'm at my desk studying some chemistry, twirling my highlighter in a figure 8. I look down at page 87 for the 8th time wondering if I knew it any better then the 7th. Definitely getting less and less studious as graduation inches closer, just 2 more months. Between me and my diploma was 4 more final exams. I crash my head into the book as I think about what a certain someone would say to me right now. "You're still a student and students' jobs are to study..." I can imagine him saying. I sigh as I close my eyes and slowly drift away to pure bliss.

'Urgh, damn it, what's that noise?' is all I can think as I reach to the core of my irritation. My hands lazily attempt to reach my phone while still considering if I should just give up and let it blast away. I swear nothing good will come out of this, my hands ready to click decline on the call, until I read the name, Mitsuri. Gosh, as much as I love her I really didn't need this after pulling an all nighter. My mind still half asleep answers her. "Yes...?" My  voice is drained and it's clear I've just woken up. "Shinobu! I'm so glad you answered, let's meet up at the library and study together!" Mitsuri sounds way too energetic right now, I feel it through the screen. "Yeah...sure, what time?" I asked, not 100% of what I'm even saying. "Let's meet at 2?" She replied. "Yeah...sure, see you in a bit." I told her and with a quick, but cheery goodbye she had hung up. Now I really had to wake up and get ready. I slowly stood up, stretching out my very stiff legs and walked to my bathroom. I passed Kanao, where we exchanged "good mornings" to each other. When I looked at the mirror, the sight I saw was unpleasant. I looked extremely drained and pale from all the late night or all night studying I've been doing. My dark under eyes were clear as day, it'd looked like I had no soul. My baggy clothes hid the small and thinner body than what I was a week ago, not eating properly setting for small snacks rather than real meals in order to pass my exams. As I got ready I couldn't help, but think about him, Tomioka Giyuu. The one man almost everyone at Kimetsu Academy dreaded, a man that was infamously labeled the "disciplinary demon". Something attracted to me to him and I never knew why, it's been like this since my 2nd year. Trying to push him aside, I got dressed. I opted to wear a loose lavender shirt tucked into some oversized beige jeans. I look in the mirror one for time admiring my dead face before putting on concealer and blush to bring some color and warmth to this otherwise cold face. I applied some red lip tint and I was done. I fix my hair into a bun then securing it with my butterfly clip. Now I look half alive and ready to go outside. I grab my phone to look through instagram, all the same thing, Zenitsu posting about Nezuko, Tanjiro with Inosuke and Zenitsu, same old same old. Before I shut it off I take a peek of the time, it's 12:57. It takes around 20 minutes on train, then 10 on foot after, I should probably head out soon. I collect my books, pen case, wallet, and other small things and put them into my cloth bag. Before I leave, I need to tell Kanao where I'm going. I quickly walk to her room and open her door, she's on her bed reading some manga. "Kanao, I'm heading to the library to study, I'll be home before 7, make sure to eat lunch." I tell her, she looks up at me and says "Okay onee-chan I will, have fun" before returning to her book. I asked "have you seen Kanae onee-chan today? I haven't seen her all morning." Kanao faces me and says "Yeah, she called last night and said she's spending the night at Shinazugawa sensei's place." "Okay thanks, text me when she comes home." I tell her. She tells me "okay" and with that I head downstairs to tie my converse and exit my house.

I walk towards the train station while grabbing my earbuds out of my bag. I plug them in and play some music, while reading my online book. Once I get to the station I swipe my card and wait at the platform for the next train. The sakura trees are in full bloom as the leaves are now replaced with light pink petals. I quickly snap a picture just in time for the train to arrive. The gush of wind hits my face as the train enters, the cool air spilling out when the doors open. I quickly enter and sit down in a seat opposite the sakura trees as I bask in their beauty. Maybe going out today wasn't all bad. As I continue to read my book, a romance about 2 actors who are cold and bitter at first, but in a turn of events grow closer. Just as I was getting to the good part, the announcement that my stop was next halted me. I exited out of my book and put my phone in my pocket to get ready to get off. When the train came to my station I got off, my school was just a mere 5 minutes away from the station and 10 from the library making it a very student filled area. It's now 1:16, I still have 44 minutes till meet up. I quickly walk the 10 minutes to the library with plenty of time to spare.

My stomach grumbles signaling it's time to actually eat something and not just a snack. I decide with my extra time to go into a small restaurant nearby to eat some yakisoba. I get seated and order it, now just waiting for it to come and letting the time pass by continuing to read. The story is so cute and the way the characters interact makes me wanna jump out of my seat, still I keep a straight face through it all. My thoughts come to a halt as I notice who just walked into the very same restaurant, none other than Tomioka Giyuu sensei. Oh god, please kill me now, as I try to pretend I didn't notice him. The waitress leads him to the table right across from me, what a joy....we are now seated facing each other. He looks around and I feel his look focus on me. I pretend to look and see if my food is ready, when I realize he's there. "Oh hi Tomioka-sensei what are enough doing here?" I ask. He just says "to eat." Damn it, at least put more effort to strike a conversation at least. "Oh did you have to do something at school?" I continue to ask. He looks up at me and says "Shinobu, why are you even out here, you have exams next week." Wow, in what Giyu fashion he saids that. "For your information I came to the library to study for the exams, but was hungry." I tell him now slightly irritated. "Okay, whatever you say." He replies to me. "You're just a old man that's upset because no one likes you." I take a jab at him. His stone face breaks for a minute and then he tells me "I'm not disliked." "Yes you are Mr. Disciplinary Demon." I tease mention his infamous name. "I don't think I'm disliked." Is what he saids. "Oh my, you didn't know? I'm sorry to have to tell you." I teased even further. "Shinobu...." He saids, but before he can break his sentence my yakisoba comes. I thank the waiter and start eating, as I haven't eaten since breakfast the day before, surviving off bread and coffee recently. Things stay silent between us as he gets his food too and eats. I make a mental note that he's eating salmon daikon, literally slightly smiling while eating it.

We finish eating around the same time, pay and leave with him behind me. Outside of the restaurant I say "Goodbye Giyu-san." Smiling knowing I said his first name. As I turn to walk towards the library, I feel my wrist being grabbed and my body pulled back. Giyu now holding me, his chest to mine. I'm frozen feeling a blush creeping onto my face. Oh my god the one and only Tomioka Giyu is hold me. I feel his neck duck down to my ear and he whispers oh so quietly "Seems like I'm not dislike by this annoying butterfly though..." Oh my god, my face just became 10 times redder if that was possible. He lets go of me, and I see a satisfied smirk on his face. I can't help but just stare at him. He finally says "You better study and do well on your exams, Ive noticed you've dropped a bit." Still with that smirk on his face as he turns and walks the opposite direction towards the school. I'm just standing there shocked, how can I even study when all I'm gonna think is him now. I guess today was a bit more worth it than I thought though.

a/n: I'm not the best writer lol, surprising that I went to a talent school for creative writing major for 3 years, but I still can't write. I didn't write these really for anyone to see, just for my own enjoyment after some of my favorite giyushino writers stopped lol. Sending love from me to you! ^ - ^
