[Set a year before Tanjiro passes the Final Selection]
"Shinazugawa, as your friend I believe-"
"HAH?! WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL YOURSELF?!"
"Your friend, don't tell me you've gone deaf after the mission?"
"SHUT UP! IN NO WORLD WILL I EVER BE YOUR FRIEND YOU BASTARD!"
Many years after achieving the title of Water Hashira, 20-year-old Giyu Tomioka still finds it difficult to get along with his fellow Hashira. Nonetheless, he persists, seeing no harm in considering them friends in spite of that.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira, sees him exclusively as a thorn in his side. He most certainly does not agree with the idea that they are friends. The closest person he has to a friend in the Corps is Obanai. Only problem is getting that information through Giyu's thick skull.
"Shinazugawa-"
"WHAT IS IT NOW?"
"...Even if you aren't my friend, I'd still like to be yours."

♡ 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 - 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢 𝐱 𝐆𝐢𝐲𝐮𝐮 ♡
WARNING: THIS STORY INCLUDES SOME MANGA SPOILERS & CUSSING (Censored) +Artwork is NOT MINE (ALSO MY AU) Sanemi has always claimed that he hates the Water Pillar, Giyuu. His (aka giyuu.) long, dark black hair and calming blue eyes had always made Sanemi frustrated somehow... But mostly, he hates the fact on how Giyuu always thinks he's better than everyone, not wanting to talk or hang out with the other Pillars, even saying stuff like: "I'm different than everyone else..". It bugged Sanemi so much, to the point where he takes out his anger out on Giyuu most of the time... But is he really just denying his feelings and pushing Giyuu away cause he doesn't think he needs someone to love and care for, equally earning the same love and affection back?.. 10/15/23: #2 on SanemixGiyuu 10/28/23: #3 on Tomioka 12/21/23: #5 on SaneGiyuu 12/23/23: #4 on SaneGiyuu 12/28/23: #2 on SaneGiyuu (OMFG WHAT-) 2/17/24: #1 on SanemixGiyuu UPDATE ON 6/27/24: OMFG GUYS WDYM THIS GOT 100K READS YA'LL ARE CRAZY I'M NOT EVEN WRITING ON THIS ACCOUNT ANYMORE 😭Complete
Bitter Sweet (Giyuu x Reader)
Y/N, a lower level demon slayer is caught in a battle with a lower moon. Your team struggled to keep pace, you lost the upper hand quickly. Just as all hope seemed lost the water pillar decapitated the demon. Expressionlessly, the water pillar looks to you. "Can you move?" You blankly stare back at the blue eyed pillar as he sheaths his sword. His presence is so intimidating, but strangely calm. You scan the surrounding area and search for any signs of movement from your fellow demon slayers, luckily a few survived the fight. "The kakushi will be arriving shortly, try not to move or your injuries might just kill you." His voice is smooth, but cold; you can't sense any emotion in his tone. Your body feels like lead and you can't move off the ground. Your vision grows blurry and you try to force your eyes to stay open. Just as soon as he arrived, he disappears into thin air. You hear footsteps fastly approaching from the distance. The ringing in your ears grows louder and the world starts turning black. With the last of your strength fading, you lose conciousness. Can you become a high ranking demon slayer, or will this defeat prevent you from moving up?
