I stared at the uniform in the mirror. Much to Scum glasses's character, he made the uniform's shirt too small. It exposed my chest and while i did look fucking hot in it, it left me vulnerable.

"What the fuck." I said, looking at my reflection. I felt violated to be honest. Even if it didn't expose my whole chest and only the middle it was still weird as hell. I took off the uniform and put my regular clothes back on. I grabbed the uniform and exited the room.

Giyu was waiting outside for me to finish changing. Ever since i had been given my uniform he looked irritated. Scum glasses did had a reputation after all, he was known for harassing demon slayers by purposely making their uniforms smaller.

Giyu looked up at me when he heard the door open. I looked back at him with a scowl. Did no one ever complain about this guy? Why is he still around if he makes our uniforms wrong.

"It's too fucking small. It leaves me chest completely vulnerable. I look fucking great in it but it's impractical."

Giyu sighed and nodded. "Unfortunately he has a bad habit of doing that. I feared that he would do it to you, i'm sorry." He looked at me with a sympathetic look. I felt a weird feeling in my stomach, hearing him admit he cared about me. I averted my gaze from him.

I sighed, "Yeah well it's not your fault so don't apologize. Where is that prick though i want to destroy this uniform in front of him."

"I think he's outside. He always waits to see how it fits." I gritted my teeth.

"Fucking pervert i swear to god im going to punch his bitch ass."

Giyu put a finger to his lips and slightly smiled, "I saw nothing."

I partially smiled back at him. Once again i helped him walk with me. I decided to try something though. Instead of simply just placing his arm around my shoulders, i reached up and grabbed his hand too. He tensed at the sudden move. I walked forward with him acting natural. Seeing my lack of response from the action he relaxed into my grasp.

We exited back out to where we had previously stood with Tanjiro and his friends. They had been waiting there along with Scum Glasses. I helped Giyu walk to a tree so he could lean on it. I then fast walked over to the boys. I said nothing for a moment but only looked at Scum Glasses.

"Uh l/n?" Tanjiro said nervously. I emitted a furious aura.

Scum glasses looked at me nervously, "So how did it fi-" i cut him off by sucker punching him square in the face. I felt something crack underneath my fist as i did.

Tanjiro got up immediately looking shocked. Scum glasses fell backwards, i had knocked him out. Blood came out from his nose and it was quickly starting to swell and bruise. The crack i felt was his nose breaking. I raised my fist again, ready to hit him in the same spot.

"Hey what the hell!" Tanjiro said shocked. He grabbed my arm and held me back before i could land another hit. Zenitsu was yelling something about me knocking out scum glasses. Inosuke just stood there shocked. I struggled against Tanjiro's grip.

"Tomioka, could you help me out please." Tanjiro called out to Giyu who had been watching from the tree. Giyu looked at Tanjiro but did nothing.

"It was well deserved." Giyu said, shocking and confusing Tanjiro.

"What do you mean?" Tanjiro said to him but i butted in.

"That asshole purposely made my uniform small so it would expose my chest like Mitsuri's." I growled, still trying to attack Scum glasses.

"Wait you mean to tell me he does that on purpose?! I thought that was a personal choice.." Tanjiro cried.

"He's most likely going to tell higher ups about this, so act like you have no idea what he's talking about." Giyu told Tanjiro, crossing his arms.

Tanjiro looked hesitant at first, he wasn't good at lying at all. He slowly agreed though. Zenitsu had stopped shouting when he heard Giyu speak and nodded his head as well.

"I'll agree too, if you fight me!" Inosuke exclaimed pointing a finger at me. I sighed and cringed. My ribs are not going to like this.

"Fine as long as you shut up."

"What did you say to me?!" He angrily shouted. He blew steam out of his boar mask and charged at me. Oh fuck.

I released myself from Tanjiro's grip and jumped in time to dodge inosuke. He stopped as soon as i did though and jumped at me.

"What the fuck-"

He went to punch me but i kicked him down. I barely landed on my feet while Inosuke had no problem. I didn't want to have to extend my stay at the butterfly mansion so i let him win. I jogged pretending to try and get away from him. He charged at me with full speed knocking me down. I didn't bother getting back up again and Inosuke confidently placed his foot on me. He laughed maniacally, boasting about his quick win.

"Yeah whatever." I pushed his foot off and got up, dusting myself off. His self esteem was quickly boosted after defeating me. He definitely reminded me a lot of my younger brother and i softly smiled at him.

I walked over to Giyu who was glaring at the boar headed boy. I noticed his gaze and rolled my eyes.

"Hey relax shithead, I let him win but don't tell him that." Giyu turned to me and his gaze softened.

"I don't like people that boast of their wins." He said.

I pretended looking hurt, "Does that mean you don't like me?" I dramatically put a hand to my chest. Giyu ruffled my hair to my surprise and i could feel that weird feeling in my stomach back again.

"Yeah i don't." He replied back.

"Oh my god! Tomioka with a sense of humor? Who would've thought!" I sarcastically said. He rolled his eyes in reply and turned forward.

"God you're starting to sound like Kocho, you've been spending too much time around her."

"No I'm just so comfortable with you that i can tease you." I grinned at him, poking his cheek to annoy him. He huffed and looked away. It had become a habit of his to hide his face whenever i complimented him. It was kinda cute to be honest.

"Hey l/n." I turned my focus back to Tanjiro and tilted my head, showing him i was listening. "If it's okay could you explain, well you know, a bit more? You kind of just glossed over it." The boy sheepishly asked.

"To be honest i kind of prefer to gloss over it cause it hits both you and me like a train wreck but sure." Wait train wreck. The mugen train, kyojuro, akaza. Shit i need to remember that later so i can warn kagaya or kyojuro. Okay back to the explanation.

"So basically i was given this journal by my boss, she said it was magic but i didn't believe her. I go home and curiosity takes a toll on me so i wrote for a portal to this universe. Boom portal appeared and i land in the middle of a hashira meeting. Tomioka is all like who the fuck are you and everyone else is all like what the fuck. Except i have no idea what anyone is saying because someone wouldn't let my arm go so i couldn't write for anything useful." I side-eyed Giyu and he rolled his eyes.

"Anyways, blah blah painful communication with hand movements later i make a deal to help the corps with their mission and i get to stay at Tomioka's place. Along the way i find a cat and adopted it. He's over there having the time of his life with the girls." I point to Cheesestick laying in the sun getting fed by the three girls. "We go home and sleep, morning comes i go back to my realm because i have a job. I talk to my boss about the whole thing and-" i paused and looked at Giyu. He raised an eyebrow, confused as to why i looked at him. Recalling what i had said about him i blush and look away from him. "And stuff. We talk and agree for me to quit work while im here but to keep in touch. I comeback, write for communication shit and finally talk to Tomioka, and to be honest I'm still surprised we made conversation so soon." I looked at Giyu a bit shocked as realization set in. He averted his eyes from me.

"I felt natural to talk to you." He said quietly. Holy shit holy fuck oh my god holy- AAH.

"You are literally my favorite person ever what the fuck." I impulsively said. My eyes widened as i realized i said that out loud. Giyu looked at me shocked before tensing up and once again looking away. I could still see the visible red on his face though.

We both looked away from each other awkwardly and embarrassed. Tanjiro looked between us confused before having a look of realization on his face. My guess would be he realized how weird it sounded for me to say that to Tomioka. He grinned and turned to the other boys beside him. Zenitsu also had a knowing smile on his face. What the fuck did these guys know that i didn't.

"Hey guys i think we're late for our rehabilitation training!" Tanjiro said pushing the other boys inside.

"But i thought that wasn't for another-" Inosuke got cut off by Zenitsu slapping a hand over his mouth. Whatever Inosuke was going to say he completely forgot now and only focused on trying to hit Zenitsu back.

As they left the tension remained between Giyu and I. Neither of us looked at each other and just stood there awkwardly for some moments.

I sighed, "Im sorry i didn't mean to say that.. outloud. I have a bad habit sometimes of saying things before thinking-" I was stopped by Giyu placing his hand on my shoulder. He was still facing away but he spoke quietly.

"Its fine.. you're.. one of my favorite people too.." he admitted.

Holy shit. I've only known him for a few days and I'm already one of Giyu Tomioka's favorite people? Holyyyy- i don't what to think of this but it makes me very happy. Like kicking my feet happy.

I grinned at him and finally looked to him. He was facing forward but averting his gaze.

"Am i top 3?" I joked.

"Alright you're pushing it." He sighed.

"Come onn! Am i at least top 5?" I teased.

He didn't say anything but kept looking away.

"Oh my god i am! Fuck yeah i'm cooler than everyone else here. Like imagine not being one of Tomioka's favorite people? Pfft could not be me." I boasted to no one but i heard Giyu quietly chuckle beside me. I grinned wider.

"Hey wanna head inside now? We've been out here kinda long now and we need to take our meds." Giyu nodded and pushed himself off the tree. I grabbed his arm and placed it around my shoulders. We walked inside and headed to our room.

I helped Giyu back onto the bed and flopped onto mine. Bad mistake.

"Fuck! Ow ow ow! That was stupid why did i do that." I winced at the sudden pain in my ribs. I reached over and grabbed my medicine, hoping that taking it would kill the pain. Giyu shook his head, clearly amused by my ordeal.

To my relief it did, it took a few mins but the pain died down and i rested comfortably. As i closed my eyes i faced Giyu, falling into sleep.
