| Crossposted from Ao3 | What if Giyuu and Shinobu met as children? A moment of Serendipity, a lucky occurrence on the day before Tsutako Tomioka's wedding, has tied the lives of Tomioka Giyuu and Kocho Shinobu, as well as the people around them. As a child Giyuu was enthusiastic, a happy child who loves food just below as to how much he loves his sister, Tsutako. He was kind and open, and that attitude of his made him help out a small girl, crying and lost in an alleyway. Kocho Shinobu accidentally got lost while with her family moments ago, and she accepted Giyuu's help, or as she calls him, "Giyuu-nii" to find her parents. But along the way, she finds herself captivated to this strange boy's smiles, a feeling her young mind could not yet comprehend, but it made her heart warm and made her smile wider herself. But would these smiles last? _______________ Genre: Fluff, Romance, Angst. Disclaimer: I do not own Demon Slayer or any of its characters. All rights reserved to its creator, Koyoharu Gotouge.
