~ SaneGiyu Appreciation Post ~
theyâre both terrible at feelings but great at loving each other
i spent so much time on this i couldnât help but come up with some headcanons so i thought id share them too
Giyu makes Sanemi tea when heâs worked up. Sanemi pretends he doesnât care but drinks it every time.
Giyu is the only person Sanemi lets see him be gentle â and Sanemi is the only person who makes Giyu laugh out loud.
Sanemi calls Giyu stupid. Giyu calls Sanemi by his full name when heâs being reckless. Both are devastating.
Giyu is the quiet type, but when Sanemi gets too close, his ears turn bright red every single time.
Sanemi pretends he hates PDA but will absolutely drag Giyu into hugs when no oneâs looking. If someone sees them, he just says âmind your damn businessâ and hugs him harder.
Giyu is gentle with everyone⌠except Sanemi, who he pulls in by the collar when he wants a kiss.
Everyone in the Corps knows theyâre together, but neither of them ever officially said it. They just⌠started sharing beds and no one was brave enough to question it.
Sanemi flirts aggressively and badly. Giyu just blinks at him, and somehow thatâs more effective.
Giyu is weirdly touch-starved, so when Sanemi casually drapes an arm over him, he just quietly melts and leans in more.
They sleep tangled together like a pile of feral cats, but if anyone asks, Sanemi says itâs just for âtactical warmth.â
Sanemi usually wakes up first and just lies there watching Giyu sleep like heâs guarding a sacred artifact.
Sometimes he wakes up too tired to think and just grabs the first shirt he sees â which is almost always Giyuâs.
Giyu once took his old stuffed teddy and carefully cut it open, then stitched it back together so the seams and scars lined up with Sanemiâs (a little creepy if you ask me). Every careful thread is placed where Sanemi was hurt â like heâs quietly, gently mapping all the places the world broke him. He never tells Sanemi. He keeps the bear tucked away like a secret and cuddles it at night when Sanemi is on mission.
Sanemi finds it anyway. He doesnât say anything either. He just holds it sometimes when Giyu isnât looking, thumbs brushing over the stitches, smiling in that soft, private way he only ever allows himself when itâs about Giyu. Because even if Giyu wonât say it out loud, Sanemi knows exactly what it means: You are worth mending.
Sanemi Shinazugawa has never believed he was built for love.
Heâs too loud, too angry, too sharp around the edges â someone who bites before barking. Even his feelings seem dangerous to him, since every time he let himself love, they would either leave or get taken away.
So when Giyu Tomioka stays âactually staysâ, when he looks at Sanemi with those steady, gentle eyes, Sanemi canât help but dread the moment heâll inevitably push him too far.
Heâs terrified of it.
Giyu sees it in the way Sanemi flinches after he snaps. In the way he pulls back after touching him, like heâs afraid affection is something he doesnât even deserve.
And every time, Giyu reaches out again â not because heâs patient, but because he loves him.
Loves him in the quiet mornings.
Loves him when heâs furious.
Loves him especially when Sanemi canât bring himself to.
And even if Sanemi wonât love himself yet⌠Giyu is more than willing to do it for him.
FIRST KISS//
Sanemiâs voice comes out rough.
âWhy do you keep coming backâ?â he asks, not looking at Giyu. âYou know what Iâm like.â
Giyu steps closer.
âI know,â he says softly. âThatâs why.â
Sanemi laughs under his breath â broken, almost disbelieving.
âYouâre gonna get tired of me.â
âI wonât,â Giyu says, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. âAnd even if you donât believe that⌠I do.â
Sanemi finally looks at him.
âYouâre not scared of me?â
Giyu lifts a hand, hesitating only for a second before gently cupping Sanemiâs cheek.
âIâm scared for you,â he admits. âBecause you donât think you deserve this.â
Sanemiâs breath stutters.
âGiyuâŚâ
âIâm here,â he says. âIâm not going anywhere.â
Something in Sanemi breaks open. He leans in before he can stop himself â slow, unsure, giving Giyu every chance to pull away.
Giyu doesnât.
And for the first time, Sanemi doesnât feel like something unlovable.
