I feel the cold wind hit me as I open the door to my home, also known as the Butterfly Estate. The smell of dinner still lingers throughout the house, as well as the warm aroma of the chimney and the fire lit beneath it.

Tomioka walks in, takes a deep breath, and lets it all out. We pass the living room and my bedroom to head to the infirmary. I worry for Tomioka, as his eyes look so dead and hopeless.

Tomioka and I open the door and see that no one else is staying in the infirmary. He sets down his pouch next to the first bed, he then proceeds to sit down on the bed and glance to me.

Tomioka breaths in and says "Thank you Kocho, I appreciate the place to stay. Before you look at any of my wounds though I would like to know if there's any place I can wash my haori."

I appreciate his thanks, and I reply with "Tomioka, no need to thank me, I appreciate the consideration though." I find myself smiling in between the sentence, as I get ready to speak again he stands up. I then say "We do our laundry in the room right next to this one. You will be able to wash your haori there, please hurry though, you need stitches."

He looks to me with those cold eyes again, thanking me and heading into the next room.

While he's gone I start to prep the medical supplies. While I prep those supplies I wonder off completely in thought.

Why the fuck does Tomioka look so hurt? I mean obviously physically he looks hurt but I mean it looks like he's suffering mentally. I entertain the thought only for a little longer before I stop thinking completely and start organizing.

•••Giyu•••

I enter the laundry room and start to remove my haori. I then take my shirt off, feeling the cold air hit my body gives me goosebumps. I pick up my haori and stare at it, bloodstains but no tears within the garment. My haori is a reminder for who I do this for, a reminder why I am a demon slayer, why I need to fight and why I cannot stop fighting.

I proceed to wash my haori very carefully, accidently dousing myself in water as I do it. Within minuets I finish cleaning the haori and proceed to hang it up. I look down and notice that I am drenched in water, I mumble to myself some curse words as I realize. 

I stand up getting ready to ask Kocho for a towel, extremely embarrassed. I'm not embarrassed because I'm shirtless,  It is cause I'm fucking drenched. Really Tomioka? How in the fuck did you not correctly wash your clothes right this one time? 

I arrive at the door to the infirmary and knock, Kocho proceeds to slowly open it and stares at me. 

I proceed to say "Kocho, I'm a dumbass and drenched myself while washing my clothes, do you have a towel?" She then looks at me and says "T-T-Tomioka, y-yes we have one here it is okay bye!" She then proceeds to slam the door in my face.

She looked really embarrassed and frantic, so I turn around and decide to go and dry myself off in the laundry room. 

I finish drying myself off and let my haori hang in the moonlight. It looks beautiful, thank you Sabito. I rotate my body around and feel another gust of wind against my body.

I walk towards the infirmary and knock again, with Kocho opening the door. I greet her with a smile this time. I felt my face heat up, I shake my head and lay down on the bed. Kocho then looks and me.

As I stare as Giyu, I feel butterflies fly in my stomach, I dismiss it and grab the stitching and move over to him. 

I give him something to numb the pain and start to stich his wounds. When I'm about half way through, I hear Giyu's voice peak out of his mouth saying "Do you have an extra room here?" I stop, surprised at the question. 

I then reply "Yes, Yes we do Tomioka. Why do you ask?" 

He then looks at me with those very cold eyes and says "May I pay for a room here? My apartment was very far for them Corps HQ and this place feels comforting." 

I feel okay with having Tomioka here, he is quite polite and quiet, he seems like someone who is interested in training Kanao as well. Tomioka starts talking again "I will be very quiet don't worry, I will not disrupt anything that is personal to you and I'll buy my own food, and I'll be a good roommate. My last landowner was murdered by a demon, so I have no where to stay now." 

I feel empathy for the man in front of me, and if Kanae was here she would let him stay. I decided that I would take after my big sis and that I would let him stay for a while. I let him know that he will be able to stay and I feel his muscles relax, and see his face become more relived. 

I finish stitching him up and he proceeds to stand up and tell me "I'll repay you for your gratitude Kocho, thank you, I was scared I was going to have to ask Shinazugawa." As he says this I let out a small chuckle. "If you need anything I will be in the bedroom you assigned to me. Thank you." 

He starts walking towards the door when he stops and looks at me. He speaks again and says "I almost forgot." He then turns around with my butterfly pin and hands it to me, making sure I don't drop it. "You dropped it on your way in, I'll see you tomorrow."

 He breaks contact with my hand and leaves. 

This man Tomioka has me so confused, he's gonna give me a heart attack. 

Thank you for the support so far! let me know what you think and how I can improve! The story will get more entertaining soon I promise! 

Have a good day!
