Snake in Water - Kimetsu no Yaiba

"Tomioka, really-" Iguro kept objecting, until he realized what it really meant. Tomioka wasn't curious about what was under the bandages or about the foul blood. Or if he was, he wasn't going to get into Iguro's face about it or treating him differently. He was going to respect Iguro and let him eat in peace.

Was that what normal people were supposed to do? Tomioka just seemed so 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭, acting like any everyday person would, respecting Iguro, not trying to force-feed him but genuinely looking out for his health and hunger.

Story concept: Obanai meets Tomioka instead of Mitsuri in the Ubuyashiki estate, and his total lack of reaction to Obanai has the same catnip effect, leading to Obanai fixating on Tomioka.

basically i take that and make an entire canon rewrite while having sanegiyuu and obamitsu running in the background, along with some good old giyuu-mitsuri friendship added to the mix. theyre so silly i love them. basically me speedrunning over 30k in a fic with the schedule of two weeks with a whole bunch of tiny lil puns LOLLLL
