Default GFCI In Line on Fan & Light Switch

Question:

Current set up on 14/3 wire + ground with two switches. One switch
controls the fan, the other switch controls the light:

Believe it is this combination:
Switch 1: Black - controls Fan
Switch 2: Red - controls Light

I would like to move fan/light above the shower but need GFCI (per
Nutone 744NT instructions). Can I somehow install two "inline" GFCI's
after the switchs but before the light and fan. One GFCI for the
black, one for the red. I would put GFCIs in a closet behind the bath
so they are accessible.

To do this I think I would have to wire the GFCIs with just one wire
(i.e. the black or red) or split the white? Otherwise what would I do
with the white (i.e. bypass it on the GFCI or split it so each GFCI
gets a white)?

To further complicate things, I would also probably put additional
recessed lights after the fan/light combo, if this matters.

(thinking of using those blank GFCI w/o the outlets)

Thanks
