    SHORT STORY "Nee, Giyuu..." "Giyuu, you are like the moon that shines so brightly in this beautiful night sky. Even though you are surrounded by beautiful stars, you are the most noticeable one to everyone. You're just like an idol!" "Haha. Thank you." Those words would forever be stuck inside Giyuu's heart. One day, I was chasing after Giyuu, desperately calling out for him to wait before he left. My mother had just given me the news that Giyuu was going away-to a place where I wouldn't be able to see him right in front of me anymore. Giyuu finally turned to look at me. Panting heavily, I asked him, "Giyuu, where are you going?" With heavy steps, Giyuu walked directly up to me. He knelt down to match my height, placing both of his hands firmly on my shoulders. He looked straight into my eyes with a deeply serious expression. His eyes told me everything: there was something hidden, a secret he couldn't possibly tell me. "I can't say it, as it goes against the rules," he said softly. "But I will surely do my best. One day, I want you to come and see me." And it happened just like he had said. Two years later, Tsutako nee-san invited our family to go see Giyuu. Without a single second of hesitation, I agreed. And just like that...I saw Giyuu on stage. He shone so brightly, like a moon that was always meant to be up there. His beautiful appearance, his dance, and his voice made him the most noticeable person in the entire room. He was exactly like the idols I used to watch on TV. Suddenly, a burning desire awoke inside of me. I want to sing alongside Giyuu. I want to shine right next to him. Because of that dream, I entered the entertainment industry to walk the very same path as Giyuu. After all, I am just a fan, following the footsteps of my ultimate idol. Pairing : Giyuu x Tanjiro (GiyuTan) Rating: Safe / No Smut (Giyuu: Top | Tanjiro: Bottom) and more info in Note.
