After spending a few minutes hugging in front of Kagaya's estate, Sanemi walked with Y/N back to the Butterfly Estate, wanting to spend a few more hours with them alone before they were crowded by other friends wanting to see how they were doing.
For once, the white-haired Hashira was calm, a rare small smile blossoming on his face as he spoke with Y/N, who was quite oblivious to the fond gaze he looked at them with.
They talked about everything and anything yet both unanimously deciding not to mention the whole death thing, or what happened in the time Y/N was gone, both wanting to move on and live in the present.
That's what Y/N had taught Sanemi; to live in the present, to not hold the past over his head. Not his father, his mother, nor his family. He couldn't keep pushing people away, not with the lifestyle they have to live for other people.
It's what Kanae had tried to drill into him before her untimely death, but it seemed her will was transferred to the h/c haired Moon Hashira who stood beside him.
"He's being trained by Gyomei-kun, I've heard."
Sanemi sighed, running a hand through his hair, messing it up a bit, he didn't want to yell at the one person who didn't deserve it. "We've talked about this, Moonflower."
"I know! I know!" Y/N muttered, crossing their arms in defense, "I just wish you two can live in peace. With our lifestyle, who knows when one of us will actually die?"
Sanemi wanted to whack the Moon Hashira on the head for that statement alone, but he couldn't deny the truth to their words.
Being a Slayer meant that every day your life was in danger, no matter what.
"Just... think about it, 'Nemi-kun."
Struggling to push down the rising heat to his cheeks, at the nickname shook his head, "I will, but I make no promises."
"Good," Y/N smiled, "That's all I ask."
Stepping foot into the Butterfly Estate, Kanao greeted Y/N as soon as one foot touched inside the entrance, completely ignoring the white-haired Hashira beside them.
