The next thing M/n knew he followed the two back into their house, he was pulled by Senjuro in a vacant room with three futons already laid by Kyojurou as he blurts out "We'll sleep here tonight!" M/n nod, Senjuro left to grab his and Kyojuro some normal clothes, while Kyojurou was busy preparing their room, M/n was removing his haori from the corner and placing it aside so it wouldn't be a bother "Which futon are you takin' in M/n?" Kyojurou inquired as he softly pats one of the pillows "I'll take the one on the left..." the flame hashira turned behind him "This one?" and M/n nod.

"I bought some clothes!" As said Senjuro entered the room with two neatly folded yukatas for the two brothers "Thanks, Sen! We'll be right back L/n!" Two brothers left leaving the blaze hashira alone in the room 'What should I do? It's still quite early to sleep, I should make them dinner, sweet potatoes aren't enough for dinner.' he left the room and amble his way to the kitchen, ever since Ruka had left Shinjuro never left his room, he knew very well but he was disappointed with the former flame hashira's actions. Ruka and Amane are like mother figures for him, he knew the pain the three Rengokus felt when Ruka passed away, that's why he tried not to hurt the two young Rengokus, they're already suffering from their father's harsh attitude towards them, he'd rather not hurt them as well just like how his siblings didn't hurt him.

M/n gaze wanders around the kitchen pondering 'What should I make? Curry? Tempura? Neesan gives me ideas...' M/n finally give up thinking as he just decided to make a random dish. Meanwhile, the two brothers had gone back to the room they're gonna share for the night, Kyojurou expecting M/n just sitting on his futon but when he opened the door he was nowhere near the "Eh?? Where's L/n?" Senjuro looked around as well "I don't know, maybe he went inside?" Kyojuro nodded "Okay! Let's find him! He's probably not that far from where we are" the younger Rengoku agreed following his brother inside the estate.

M/n was quietly minding his business when his ears perked up from heavy footsteps entering the kitchen, then a familiar masculine gravelly voice inquired "What're you doing?" M/n's red pools dipped to Shinjuro's figure lumbering its way towards him "Dinner, all we bought back are sweet potatoes." he answered cruising his attention back to the food he's preparing "You're sleeping over here again?" Shinjuro turned around, picking up a bottle of sake that was placed near the counter (A/n: Idk what Taisho Japanese kitchen looks like, so bear with me...) M/n's face scrunched up by the smell of alcohol that his area of smelling reached "You should eat with us, and stop drinking." he simply told as he finished the dish, placing plates on the small table.

Shinjuro grumbled "Yeah, yeah, whatever..." as he took a sit on one of the cushions, M/n heaved out a sigh "Woah! There you are L/n! You suddenly disappeared...! Oh hi father!" the two brothers waltz in, their gaze was glued to M/n's figure before they sailed to their father who was drinking sake, again. M/n then sat down as well "I made dinner, the sweet potatoes wouldn't be a good dinner." the two hasty nodded, occupying the vacant cushions. The dinner wasn't that quiet, if the three were only there it would be. But with M/n present the two would speak up and question from time to time.

Just like that, it was fun. The next morning M/n found himself sandwiched between the two 'How come I'm in the middle now?' M/n sweatdropped he has no escape, Senjuro and Kyojuro were latched into him like a koala, the blaze hashira began to mentally panic, he could hear a faint disembodied female chuckle 'Neesan sa-save me! Kasumi-neesan is probably laughing right now, oh goodness...' M/n's attention shifted to Kyojurou's face that was inches away from touching his, the boy blushed his lips quivering as he tried not to let out a shaky sigh 'He's too close...' Kyojurou's head was laying in his shoulder, his right arm wrapped in his waist while the other was hugging his left arm, M/n and Kyojurou's legs are tangled up and his body was basically squeezing itself to M/n just to get that all skin contact and warmth from the grey-haired boy. Hence the flame hashira occupied 95% of his body while Senjuro occupied the 5.

'Okay, calm down M/n, he'll probably hear your heartbeat!!!' M/n mentally screamed, breathing from his nose to calm his self down, but then his breath stopped when Kyojuro shift, moving closer and by now his head was just above his, the sweet smell radiating from Kyojurou's hair was filling M/n's nostrils 'A crappp, why have I gotten myself into' he cried, slowly gulping down the lump in his throat 'This is a no-escape situation, I should probably just head back to sleep' as he recommended to himself, M/n closed his eyes again.

Kyojurou flutters his eyes open, as he hugged what seems to be the source of warmth 'So... warm... wait...!' Kyojurou abruptly rose his upper body to investigate the source of warmth was M/n sleeping peacefully, his whole face turned red as steams began oozing off his head 'He was the warmth! Ahh!!! I shouldn't have done that!!!' he covered his beet-red face shaking embarrassment away. A low whimper caught Kyojurou's attention, he uncovered his face and gaze at M/n's figure, the grey-haired boy had turned to his side, his right arm resting in Kyojurou's lap 'He looks so serene...' the flame hashira smiled softly, laying back down in his futon so he can observe M/n's face up close.

M/n's eyes were closed so he doesn't need to falter from his observing session, it calmed Kyojurou seeing M/n sleeping beside him with a calm face, lips were slightly parted what mostly caught his attention as he leaned a bit closer 'They look a bit dry...' as Kyojurou was about to lean down, even more, his movements were halted when the door open. The flame hashira quickly scooted away so he can view who by the door "Good morning, Aniki." Senjuro greeted "I prepared breakfast let's wake L/n-san. Etto... Aniki why is your face red?" he tilted his head by the time he sat on the futon "A-ah! It's nothing! How about you wake him up! I'm gonna do something!" Kyojurou said, he hasty stood up and left the room "Hmm... okay, L/n-san time to wake up...!" Senjuo nudge the grey-haired boy which easily stirs M/n awake. 

M/n sat up as he rubs his tired eyes, a yawn escaping his drying lips before he licked it with his tongue to keep it moist "Thank you, Sen." the said boy simpered "I prepared breakfast! Aniki and Otousan are probably there, let's go!" Senjuro grasped M/n's long and large hands as they march to the kitchen.

Despite Kyojurou's actions earlier he interact with M/n like nothing had happen, though the pink in his face hasn't gotten away yet. Soon M/n has to leave as his p/n arrived giving him a mission that Kagaya had told to his raven.

Amane and Ruka would treat M/n as their own son, unlike his biological parents that completely neglected him even forcing his siblings to neglect him as well.
