Muichiro

That was the last thing Tokito had heard before his vision went black. Even while he was being parlayed by poison, hearing that name from that voice filled him with great happiness.

He didn't know how long it had been, how long he was out. He didn't even know where he was at the moment, all he could do was stare into darkness.

But, that darkness only lasted so long.

He began to see memories play out before him. Like how you image a scene in a book. He only saw one thing in these memories through. A boy identical to him. The only way to separate the two was their clothes, one wore black, the other blue.

Tokito wore the blue, while his twin, Yuichiro, wore the black. It seemed fitting to his personality, at least that's what Tokito thought.

The memories were just bits and pieces, sometimes it was them playing together, other times it was the two helping their father. Yuichiro used to be so much more happy when they were around.. his parents.. That didn't stop him from being a stick in the mud of course.

Tokito remembered the warm, nostalgic feeling he felt around Tanjiro. He remembered that feeling now. It was love, happiness, and security.

He couldn't remember the last time he was genuinely happy. The last time he smiled so brightly. He lived in a constant state of cold nothingness.

It hurt a lot, not knowing anything about himself. Constantly feeling that cold and empty feeling.

Tanjiro was the person who stopped all of that. He gave him that warmth, that feeling again..

He didn't know what happened after he passed out.. how long he had been out.. He hoped Tanjiro was ok..

Light poured into the small bed where Tokito's bandaged body laid motionless.

It have been like this for a week. Honestly, Tanjiro was starting to worry..

After Tokito had passed out, he and love pillar, Mitsuri, took him to the village to get help. No one there was able to stop the poison, so they had to rush back to the butterfly manor.

Shinobu lucky had an antivenom for the poison, but she said because there was so much in his system and with the wounds all over his body, recovery would take a while.

Tanjiro was reluctant to leave Tokito all alone, but he still have some rehabilitation training after that battle.. not to mention his sister Nezuko could now walk out in broad daylight. Shinobu has been trying to find a cause to that, but so far, she's been unsuccessful..

Tanjiro let out a long sigh, he had to leave.. the girls wouldn't wait for him forever..

He gently placed his hand over Tokito's, which was resting on the blanket covering the small boy. He wrapped his fingers around his rough and corse palm. Was that rough texture from the training he must have gone through..?

I remember.. That was what he said before he passed out.. Does he really remember everything? I should ask him when he wakes up..
