Giyuu Tomioka is one of Kimetsu Academy’s most admired third-year students. Quiet, intelligent, athletic, and painfully attractive without trying, he’s constantly surrounded by attention he never asked for. Confessions fill his locker almost daily, whispers follow him through the hallways, and yet he rejects every admirer with the same calm distance.
Most students see him as cold.
You, however, sit beside him long enough to notice the truth.
The exhaustion behind his silence.
The way he waits for crowded hallways to empty.
The small moments where he quietly asks you to help him disappear somewhere “less noisy.”
Somewhere along the way, escaping with you becomes his favorite part of the day.
And eventually, without even realizing it, Giyuu stops searching for quiet places.
He starts searching for you instead.
One morning, after the breakfast bell rings and the classroom empties, Giyuu suddenly reaches for you before you can leave.
Then, without warning, he pulls you into a tight embrace.
