Mrs.Tomiokaââ â
Summary: Giyuu's confusedâwhy everyone is so shocked that you're his wife?
Warnings: fluff, emo Giyuu(kinda), who is also comfused as hell, wife!reader x husband!Giyuu and lots of fluff.
Characters: Giyuu Tomioka
A/N: I loooove this emotionally constipated boi :3.
Giyuu doesnât understand why people think heâs strange.
He doesnât talk much, yesâbut he speaks when needed.
He doesnât smile often, but what reason is there to smile when the world is still this full of blood and ash?
He does his work. He follows orders. He returns alive. That should be enough.
And yetâ
Every time he walks into the mansion, the other Hashira go quiet.
Sanemi looks away. Shinobuâs lips curve like sheâs holding back something. Mitsuri beams and waves like heâs a rare creature who wandered out of the woods.
He doesnât mind. Not really. Heâs used to being misunderstood.
But latelyâŠthings have gotten worse.
Because of you.
He first met you years ago.
A small Wisteria Crest house at the foot of a mountainâthe air smelled faintly of herbs and tea leaves. You greeted every wounded slayer with the same soft tone, the same careful hands.
You didnât treat him differently when he came in bleeding and silent.
You didnât ask him why he never talked.
You just said, âWelcome home. Sit, please.â
He remembered those words more than he should have.
Now youâre his wife. Quietly. Secretly. A simple ceremony witnessed by Ubuyashiki-sama himself. No fanfare, no announcement.
Just you, smiling under the wisteria trees.
He still doesnât understand why you agreed to it.
Sometimes, when he watches you brew tea, your sleeves brushing against the wooden counter, your face looking soo calm, kindâeven pretty, he thinks maybe he doesnât need to understand.
The first time it almost comes out is stupid.
You send him off with a small bento boxârice shaped like tiny fish, wrapped neatly in cloth.
He doesnât notice Shinobuâs sharp gaze when he sets it beside him at the mansion during the meeting.
âCute lunch, Tomioka-san,â she says, that poison-sweet smile of hers in place. âDid one of the Kakushi make that for you?â
âNo,â he answers plainly.
â...Oh?â
He doesnât elaborate.
Shinobuâs smile tightens. Mitsuri leans forward, curious. âThen who made it, Giyuu-san? Itâs so cute!â
He looks down at the fish-shaped rice ball. He can still hear your voice that morningââDonât skip meals again, alright?â which forced his heart to flutter.
He simply says, âSomeone.â
They donât let him live it down for days.
Sometimes, after missions, Giyuu goes to the Wisteria Houseâyour house, the one you choose to live in.
Itâs quiet thereâa peaceful one, not like the depressing one his estate is swallowed by. He leaves his blade by the door and sits where you tell him to.
You wrap his wounds with steady hands, humming softly. Sometimes he talksâonly to you. Sometimes you tease him gently for his serious face, and he blinks at you, confused at how you can make something inside him unclench so easily.
When you smile, the corners of his mouth twitch upward before he even realizes it.
The next day, when Tanjiro spots him smiling faintly to himself, the boy looks alarmed.
âGiyuu-san, are you okay? Did something good happen?â
â...No,â he says.
He doesnât understand why Tanjiro looks even more concerned.
One afternoon, you deliver some herbs to the Butterfly Estate. You greet the girls there with polite warmthâand when you pass Shinobu, you bow respectfully.
She almost doesnât recognize you until you turnâand Giyuu is standing right behind you, carrying your basket without a word.
âAh, Tomioka-san,â Shinobu says slowly. âHelpingâŠthe Wisteria House?â
âYes.â
Your soft laugh betrays him instantly.
âHe insisted on carrying it. I told him itâs fine.â
Shinobu stares between you both, her brow lifting, mouth curling into something dangerously amused.
âOh? How gentlemanly of you, Tomioka-san.â
He doesnât see whatâs funny about it. Heâs your husband. Of course heâd carry the basket.
Later that evening, Mitsuri corners him outside.
âGiyuu-san!â she gushes. âWhoâs that lovely woman? The Wisteria one? You two looked so sweet together!â
He blinks at her. ââŠSheâs my wife.â
Mitsuri freezes.
ââŠYourâŠwhat?â
âWife,â he repeats.
Her scream echoes through the estate.
By the next day, everyone knows.
Sanemi storms into the training yard like a thundercloud. âYouâre married? How the hell did that happen?â
âI asked,â Giyuu says.
âYouââ Sanemi chokes on air. âAnd she said yes, TO YOU ?â
He nods.
Shinobu looks like sheâs seconds away from fainting from suppressed laughter. âTomioka-san, I must admit, this is rather...shocking news.â
Mitsuriâs the only one genuinely happy. She hugs you the next time she sees you and gushes about how cute the two of you are together.
Tanjiro, meanwhile, nearly bows himself into the ground when he realizes youâre his superiorâs wife.
âGiyuu-san! I didnât know! Congratulations!â
Giyuu just blinks. âIt wasnât a secret. I just didnât say it.â
â...Thatâs the definition of a secret, Giyuu-san.â
He still doesnât get it.
That night, back home, the world is quiet again.
Youâre sitting outside beneath the wisteria vines, a book in your lap. The evening wind moves gently through your hair.
He joins you, sitting beside you with his sword laid down beside him. For a while, thereâs only the sound of crickets and your soft humming.
Then you glance up at him.
âSoâŠthey know now?â
He nods once.
âAnd?â
âThey wereâŠloud.â
You laugh softlyâa heart melting one, tilting your head toward him. âDid they tease you?â
He looks at youâat your calm, gentle eyes, the small smile tugging at your lipsâand lets out a slow breath in weariness and to calm his raging heart.
âYes.â
You reach over, brushing his sleeve lightly. âYouâll survive.â
He doesnât say it, but when you rest your head on his shoulder and the wisteria petals fall around you both, he thinks thisâthis quiet, ordinary peaceâis something he will fight to survive for.
He still doesnât understand people very well.
But he understands the way your laughter feels like sunlight.
He understands how the scent of tea and wisteria means home.
And he understands that when everyone else talks too loudly, the quiet between your breaths is where he finds peace.
So maybe it doesnât matter if no one understands him.
Because you do.
And thatâs more than enough.
