Art is not mine!! 🚫
A once delicate heart, as calm as the ocean now sit, still in the chest of the stone faced male. As he lay unconscious on the hard wood floors of his estate, Blood seeping from his wound. Slowly loosing his sense of reality, he...
Chapter 004 Recap ; Giyuu had rejected answering Shinobu's question, moving it to a later time. Mitsuri had them come to check up on him, he hadn't shown it but beneath his cold exterior he was happy to see her.

He gave a weak wave, his arms still frail. But he didn't want to think Mitsuri's presence was unappreciated. He really was glad she was here. Although he had kind of been dreading the next visitor. Sanemi..
"Hey Kanroji-san, thanks for stopping by." A small smile was cracked up on his face, Mitsuri was hugging him gently. He did appreciate the thought of her gesture.
He moved his arms slowly up to Mitsuri's back. Rubbing small circles as she cried into his shoulder rambling on and on about how worried she was. He sighed, he wasn't worth her tears.
After a few more times of reassuring her, she had stopped crying. The only sounds were her talking about what happened the days he was asleep. Like how Sanemi visited daily. Just to check up on 'his fellow Hashira.'
He smiled internally, but something bothered him.. 'They only care after you commit.' That sentence was replaying inside his head. Over and over. He didn't want to hear that. He knew they cared.. somewhat.
Mitsuri was still talking away as the ravenette drifted off into the ocean of his mind. The waters drowning out the sound of her words.
He was being pulled under slowly but surely. He was thinking, 'what if I had died.' The scenarios replaying through his head. Seeing Sabito and his sister again.. but what about Shinobu and Mitsuri.. what he do without them as well.
He subconsciously grabbed his forearm, squeezing it. His nerves on edge at the moment. Mitsuri had noticed a change in his expression. It seemed more strained. She admittedly stopped talking which caught Giyuu off guard.
"Tomioka-san? Are you okay? Am I bothering you?" She asked a sequence of questions. All making the shorter male's head hurt. He nodded. His discomfort noticed by the pinkette.
"Im sorry Tomioka-san, how are you feeling?" She asked obviously concerned. "Yes Kanroji-san, I'm fine. My arms and legs feel a bit strained..sorry." He said wryly. Mitsuri's eyes lit up, which confused him..
"Kyyaa!!! Tomioka-san that's the most you've ever talked about yourself!" His eyes widened in shock. 'Was that really the most I've said about myself to her before..?' He almost looked disappointed.. in himself.
She then looked at the clock on an opposite wall, her stance now more shocked. "Aiya.. I've got to go Tomioka-san! I'll see you tomorrow!" She ran over to the man in the bed, giving him a gentle hug. He smiled slightly. Not visible to the other though.
