Yet the feeling of hitting the ground never came..
---

His breathing slowly began calming down and he finally managed to open his eyes. He was met face to face with the well known oni. His red piercing eyes searching his face for something a look of admiration and guilt staining them.

"Are you hurt?"

"No I'm not Itto calm down."

"Thank god."

The oni let out a deep sight and just then Gorou realized how close they truly were to eatch other. He colud feel the warm breathing of the oni.

He pressed his hands against the other male's chest trying to get up yet not finding enough space to do so.

Itto understood and immediately placed him down smiling weakly as if to show that he's sorry.

Gorou's face was flushed red as he was crouching down his ears flat on his head. Sure he had been close to many people yet never so close...

Especially with Itto.

He placed his shakey hand on his chest and sat down trying to bury that thought deep within his memory.

"You alright?"

"Yeah... Fine."

"I'm glad."

The oni said enthusiastically.

Gorou sighed and stood up shaking if the sand that was stuck to his tail and clothes. He turned his head around and whined as he saw all the sand tangled into his tail.

"You know i think I'm gonna go home i need to brush my tail anyway."

"Can i come with?"

"Huh..."

"Colud i come with you pleaseeee?"

He whined as he grasped Gorou's shoulder shaking it genetly to avoid annoying him.

Gorou looked at him examining his face and sighed nodding slowly.

They arrived and guards immediately stood straight as they passed the gate.

"Woah have you seen these guys? They look super cool!"

"Yeah... Itto i live here."

"Oh right you do-"

"Whatever come in or I'm going to leave you out in the cold."

"Coming! Coming!"

Itto rushed into the house almost falling over.

He then sat down on the floor and started examining Gorou at first whom just gave him a strange look.

Itto made a werid face before getting up and hesitantly following the general.

"Your house looks fancy."

"Thanks.. feel free to explode to your hearts content im just gonna change really quickly."

"Sure!"

The oni shouted back already running off to find something interesting. As soon as he began he lost the track of time and by the time he noticed Gorou exiting his bedroom he was already sitting on the couch observing the curious oni.

"Oh hi didn't notice you."

"Don't worry i came out like five minutes ago no big deal."

He got down from the couch and some kind of a bowl that he placed his tail in.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to brush out my tail without getting sand everywhere. Don't worry I'll dump it out after."

"Can i watch?"

"I mean... Sure...?"

The oni quickly appeared next to him a big grin on his face as he inspected the actions performed by him.

"Can you get the brush out forgot. It's on the night stand."

"Yup!"

Gorou patiently waited for his friend to return with the brush. As soon as he came out his eyes were darting between him and everything else in the house.

He sat down and held the brush.

"Can i have it..?"

"I-uh colud i brush out your tail myself?"

Gorou's heart skipped a beat as he heard the words coming out of the oni's mouth.
