"your alive" SabiGiyuu

Chapter 20 // A decision has been made

Tomioka's Pov

"The master had made his decision."

With those six words, Tomioka began to spiral.

Spiral both in his thoughts and with his body as he stumbled, dissy from. How quick he stood up.

Good thing Sabito was there to catch him, otherwise he probably would have face planted onto the floor beside his bed.

"I'd recommend not taking to long, ubuyashiki has the patience of an immortal, but you don't want to risk it."

He paused as he started to turn away.

"Also sorry for inturupting whatever you two were doing. Bye, see ya at masters estate."

He said finalizing the conversation with a wave as he walked out the door.

Tomioka didn't mind though, he was too busy going into a panick.

"Oh, gods. It's happening."

Tomioka mumbled as gently pressed his fingers to his temples in an attempt to calm the start of a roaring headache.

"Hey, it's okay Yuu. I know you won. They can't deny that."

Sabito said softly, his words reasuring as the peach-haired man helped Tomioka towards the wide open door.

"I guess, but I still screwed up in the end. I DIED!"

Sabito paused with bothe his steps and words before responding.

"Well, yeah. But you also beat my ass quiet thoroughly. You knocked me out cold. I hut the ground before you did, that means you won. Plus it only happened because you didn't know the limitations of your eleventh form. They can't really blame you for something you didn't know."

"I guess."

Tomioka responded unsurely.

"But I still died. That is an undeniable fact."

The raven-haired man stated as he looked up to meet Sabitos eyes.

"Yes, but what matters is that you won. That was the reason for the duel, the winner gets the rank of Hashira. And you came out victorious."

Tomioka returned the taller man's smile, only slightly wobbly as he nodded his head.

"I believe in you Giyuu, you just need to believe in yourself."

Sabito said softly as he lent down and placed a living kiss on the back of Tomioka's pale neck. Of which quickly began to turn pink.

Tomioka could have sworn he heard an almost inaudible 'cute' as he took a step out of Sabito's grip. Finaly trusting himself to stand up without falling.

"We should hurry up, we don't want to be late."

Tomioka said as he took a much more stable step forward, Sabito's agreement was unspoken as he walked forward and linked his arm with his lovers, then leafing them at a slightly faster pace than before.

The walk to the master's estate was a nice quiet walk, disregarding the suble tension that hung in the air.

And when they finally reached the large estate, Tomioka was sure that Sabito could feel his nervous jitters. But the taller man left it unsaid.

Tomioka didn't mind, and as Sabito unmatched his arm from his own, the raven-haired man let out a quiet huff. Missing the comfort his boyfriends warmth brought him.

So as he fought the urge to grab the beautifully man's arm, he took a deep breath and walked into the courtyard that hosted all of the remaining hashira, along with master Ubuyashiki himself.
