Giyuu returns as his hometown’s vet to keep a childhood promise to the boy he loved. But Sanemi has a band on his finger. A storm is breaking.
Giyuu silently reached for the camera and tapped the playback button to look at the photo gallery. The scarred man paused as he glared over his shoulder.
It was an amazing photo. Giyuu observed how the sun steamed through the barn and cast a soft golden glow around the couple.
“…Oh.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “Shit. We do look good—“
“Told you!” Tanjiro chirped from behind Giyuu. He sighed in relief while Genya collapsed against the stalls. Sorai and Kanzaburo kept munching their grain unbothered.
doing better. But maybe you should ask when he’d wanna pick a date. I know you don’t wanna push, but it’s good to finally have something in sight, ya know?”
“Maybe.” Giyuu had been afraid to ask, but it’s true. Maybe sooner than later, he would want to finally have that chosen.
Giyuu walked calmly as his fiancé chased after his younger brother and his boyfriend. Tanjiro dashed and made a sharp turn as he ran a wide circle around and dove behind the vet’s back. He cowered behind him like he was a wall.
“Mr. Giyuu, help!” Tanjiro wheezed.
He dodged several of the rancher’s grabs. “MR. SHINAZUGAWA, IT’S FOR ART!”
“OH I’LL SHOW YOU A DAMN MASTERPIECE KAMADO WHEN I REARRANGE YOUR FACE!”
Sanemi vaulted over some supply crates without stopping. His eyes wide and unhinged. “GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE, BRATS!”
his brother’s angry swipes. He cast a terrified look at Sanemi’s face who kept barreling after him like a runaway train. “HE’S GONNA KILL ME!”
“I’M SORRY!” Tanjiro screamed as he dashed away as he held the camera in his hands.
Tanjiro clutched his camera with both hands as Genya sprinted straight for the side barn door.
“GET BACK HERE, YOU BASTARDS!” Sanemi bellowed. Giyuu stood back and watched the chaos unfold.
“I TOLD YOU IT WAS A BAD IDEA, TANJIRO!” Genya shrieked as he tried to dodge
“H-Hey…Big Bro…” Genya sputtered. Giyuu had never seen him that scared…or Sanemi that pissed. Tanjiro looked like his spirit left his body.
“PERVERTS!” The rancher roared. “GET OVER HERE!”
“SHIT! TANJIRO!” Genya yelled as the two men exploded from behind the hay.
A vein burst straight across the rancher’s forehead as he released the vet and spun on his heel.
Sanemi grabbed a nearby bucket and punted it across the floor with a loud CRACK.
Suddenly, Genya and Tanjiro jumped from their hiding spot.
his head toward the stacked hay.
Then they both heard whispers: “Genya, shh…stop breathing so loud, they’re gonna hear us—“
“I’m not breathing that loudly. Ouch! Don’t step on my foot, you’re gonna get us caught!”
Sanemi twitched adversely. Giyuu rolled his eyes.
The rancher froze mid-kiss with a furrowed brow. He flicked his eyes toward the hay bales as he seemed to be listening for the strange noise.
“What is that?” The vet frowned.
“Sounded like…” Sanemi muttered suspiciously. His grip on Giyuu’s waist tightened as he slowly turned
Both men paused for a second, confused. Sanemi stared at Giyuu. “What was that?”
“I don’t know. Could be the generator or something.”
Just as Sanemi leaned in, they heard it again.
