    Summary

    The first time Tanjirou helped cut his hair, there had already been damage done.

    “Can I help you fix it?”

    Giyuu lowered his face beneath the bangs he didn’t dare touch. “Is it that bad?”

    Tanjirou bit back a smile. “Not if you’re trying to look like Kiriya-sama.”

    “Then it’s worse.”

    --

    In which surviving demons had never guaranteed them anything. But they still have to move on, somehow.

    Or, the five times Giyuu asked for his hair to be cut, and the one time Tanjirou changed his mind.

    Summary

    Dear Giyuu-san,

    What sort of work do you think someone with one arm and one blind eye could still do well? If you happen to have advice, I’d be very thankful to hear it!

    P.S. Zenitsu and Inosuke ask about you often. Neither of them would admit it, but they miss you!

    I mi—

    A collection of letters Tanjirou had been sending Giyuu after the final battle, and why he never gave up on reaching out.

    Summary

    Giyuu is asleep on his side, head turned towards Tanjirou, close enough that Tanjirou would barely need to stretch to touch him.

    Tanjirou just looks—

    —and the wonder sets in slowly, like dawn gradually seeping colour into the darkness of the night.

    Summary

    Giyuu's breathing stays steady as he pushes the sheets away and sits up; his nichirin blade is lying ever ready beside his bed, because a demon slayer without a blade is soon a dead slayer, and he turns to reach for it—

    —but something catches on Giyuu's yukata, pulling, and Giyuu glances over his shoulder, startled.

    The first thing Giyuu notes is that Tanjirou's eyes are still closed. The second thing he notes is that his yukata sleeve is not snagged in the sheets or against the tatami floor but caught quite firmly by Tanjirou's hand. The third is not an observation but an interpretation: it seems Tanjirou's instinct is to keep Giyuu close, something that stays true even when he is unconscious.

    Summary

    You always find me, Giyuu says once, as he’s busy dressing a long scratch on Tanjirou’s cheek – a parting gift from a thorny berry bush, Tanjirou’s stubborn will to get the very last piece of fruit, and his offset eyesight. Tanjirou falls down steps, runs into furniture and walls alike, but he never misjudges distances when he is reaching for Giyuu, his hand finding Giyuu’s as easily as breathing.

    Tanjirou stays still long enough for Giyuu to tape the small bandage in place, and then smiles. My sense of smell is better than my sense of sight, you know, he says. Even if I was completely blind, I will always find you.
