BACK TO GIYUUSHINO

~💜~

Beautiful.

The two looked at each other with glowing eyes, beautiful and fulfilling in its own presence.

Her lustrous violet irises shone as she held her deep gaze and the gleam in his pupils never disappeared as he didn't ever stop looking at her in those minutes of silence.

She often caught his eyes darting back and forth, yet they never left the frame of her face, as he didn't want her appearance to leave his mind ever again.

She opened her pursed lips and his eyes widened and pupils swelled in anticipation.

It was this once when she had noticed the stark contrast of his gentle gaze against his menacing, sharp features.

It was this once when he had noticed the stark contrast of her hard stare against her delicate, soft skin.

Too accustomed to each other they were.

Was this love?

Was this what they felt about each other?

They saw the love in each other's eyes.

That was for sure.

...

Giyuu and Shinobu were sitting across from each other with a short table in the middle, a cup of green tea each at their sides.

"What are we?" Shinobu asks curiously, still holding their precious eye contact.

"I-I," Giyuu was flustered from the sudden question, "that's what I want to talk about."

She shuffled in her seat, expectant of his next statement. Yet the room stayed silent. He was still looking at her, in turn seeming as if he was expecting a reply from her too.

"I-" they both blurted at the same time. 

Shinobu's palms covered her face in embarrassment while Giyuu looked away.

~Just let this conversation go smoothlyyy PLEASE~

-I keep messing up-

"You go first," he motioned with his hand.

"Uhmm," she adjusted herself in her own seat again and took a sharp inhale, "I want to know what I am to you. A friend? A stranger? A person you hate? Someone you don't like? I really want to know. I can't shake off this annoying, hollowing, soul-drenching pit in my stomach. Its always there when I see you. I can't tell if its joy or fear of the fact you don't feel the same about me..."

"I-"

"But sometimes you really fill a kind of happiness inside of me. I've never felt this way before. But I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared I might lose you before I could ever get to know you better. I'm scared that you'll leave and I'll be left on a pedestal with a horrible kind of one-sided love. And even though I make the way I love you sound so petrifying, you truly do give me the kind of butterflies I've never seen before."

Shinobu took in a deep breath again, a relieved, slight smile appearing on her face as Giyuu kept gazing at her.

"I love you. That's one thing I know. Whether or not you feel the same is for you to decide, and I respect that."

She took in a deep breath, "I also love you."

"Then that's all we need to know," he said, still looking into her eyes.

She smiled again and walked over to his side of the table, snuggling her face into his shoulder. "Then I guess I can do this," she mumbled as she stretched out her arms to link around his body. Giyuu let out a soft chuckle and patted her head (AS PER USUAL).

...

"CAWW CAWWW!! TENGEN, KAMADO, AGATSUMA, AND HASHIBIRA HAVE ARRIVED FROM THEIR MISSION. SEVERELY INJURED!!" a katsugai crow shrieked overhead. (I can't give you guys a break I'm so sorry)

...

Next chapters are going to focus mostly on plot!! (dw there will still be giyuushino segments)
