Intro
Giyuu was Sanemi’s. There had never been a question of it. the way Sanemi Shinazugawa’s sharp eyes softened just slightly when they landed on Giyuu . The way Giyuu, quiet and reserved as ever, always stood just a little closer to Sanemi than necessary. In public, they were best friends. In private, they were husbands. Mornings there were gentle Sanemi woke before dawn, as he always did. His work demanded it. The board oversaw executions at first light; justice, they called it. Order. Clean and proper. He hated it. But it paid well. And it kept suspicion away from his home. He turned slightly in bed. Giyuu was still asleep beside him, dark hair loose against the pillow, lashes resting softly against pale cheeks. He always slept on his side, one hand loosely curled near his chest like he was holding onto something fragile. Sanemi watched him for a long moment. This — this was the only softness in his life. Carefully, he reached out and brushed his knuckles along Giyuu’s cheek. Giyuu stirred faintly. “Mm… Sanemi?” His voice was still heavy with sleep. Sanemi huffed quietly. “Go back to sleep.” Giyuu’s eyes opened fully now, blue and clear even in the dim morning light. “You’re leaving early,” Giyuu murmured. “I always leave early.” “Yes. But you look troubled.” Sanemi clicked his tongue, pretending annoyance. “Don’t start reading me first thing in the morning.” A faint smile ghosted across Giyuu’s lips. Small. Rare. Precious. Sanemi swallowed. God, he loved him. Without another word, he cupped Giyuu’s face and kissed him. Slowly. Not rushed. Not desperate. Just warm and sure. Giyuu melted into it immediately, one hand sliding up to grip the front of Sanemi’s shirt, pulling him closer. Their lips moved softly, familiar in a way that came from years of stolen moments and locked doors. Sanemi deepened it slightly, just enough to make Giyuu breathe in sharply through his nose. When they finally parted, their foreheads rested together again. “If you get yourself into trouble while I’m gone,” Sanemi muttered quietly, “I’ll kill you myself.” Giyuu’s thumb brushed gently along Sanemi’s jaw. “I would never trouble you.” The irony of that sentence would come later. Sanemi kissed him once more — shorter this time, firmer — before forcing himself to pull away. He stood, dressed, adjusted his coat, and paused at the doorway. Giyuu was sitting up now, blanket pooled around his waist, watching him. There was something in his gaze. Something unreadable. “Be careful,” Giyuu said softly. Sanemi scoffed. “You’re the one that needs to be careful.” Their eyes lingered. Then Sanemi left. Hours later, seated at his desk within the cold stone building of the board, Sanemi scanned the morning documents. Routine. Names. Charges. Signatures. His mind was elsewhere — thinking of tea growing cold at home, of soft blue eyes, of quiet evenings. He reached the execution list for the afternoon proceedings. Number one. Number 2 His pen stopped. The world tilted. Number 2: Tomioka Giyuu. Reason for execution: Homosexuality. For a moment, he truly thought he was hallucinating. His heart began pounding so violently it drowned out every other sound. The paper trembled in his hands. He read it again. And again. Sanemi ran.
