"It's okay, I'm here"

⚠️Warnings!⚠️

Swearing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sanemi POV:

I quietly stop in a tree near the water hashira's estate. I watched him enter his estate. I hear a soft thud coming from inside. I get down from the tree to get a better view. I walk up to a window and I look in. I see something I thought I would've never seen. He was... crying... Because of me...

I suddenly feel bad. "Am I going soft?!" I watch Tomioka sob into his knees. I'm reminded of my past...

(Flashback)

"Monster! Why did you kill mum! You murderer!" Genya held my mother's bloody body as he cried. I stood a few meters away. I wielded a carving knife. Everything was bloody. Genya... thought I killed mother for fun... I killed mother, to protect him... the only one I had left. He didn't know she had turned into a demon.

(End of flashback)

"I'm a monster..." I muttered to myself. I forced myself not to cry. I need to stay strong. Strong for my brother.

I watched as the poor ravenette cried. Then he got up to go to the bathroom. I thought about if I should comfort him. I ended up choosing yes. I waited for a bit, not wanting to interrupt whatever he's doing, then after a few minutes I knocked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Giyuu POV:

I heard a knock on the door. I panicked. I quickly pulled the sleeves of my uniform down and slid on my haori. My arms still stung. I walked to the door. Not expecting whoever was outside.

I opened the door to see a man as tall as me. He had white hair and scars all over his body. Part of his chest was exposed. Sanemi Shinazugawa. He looked at me.

"I-I'm sorry Tomioka... I heard you crying before. I assumed it was because of me."

Shinazugawa... he apologised... I never thought someone like him would be the type to apologise. "I-it's okay Shinazugawa... uhm... c-can we be friends..?" I said, wiping the dried tears off my face. He smiles softly and says something that shocks me.

"Sure, I don't see why not."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sanemi POV:

I had just agreed to be his friend. Someone I have hated for years, I was friends with them... I grabbed Tomioka's hand. He winced at the action. I wasn't sure why but soon, the wave of realisation hit me.

"Show me your arm." I said coldly. "SHOW ME YOUR ARM!" I raised my voice.

He shuddered at my voice. He reluctantly raised both his arms for me to inspect. I grabbed an arm. I pulled the sleeve his haori and his uniform. It was covered in cuts. Recent ones too. I did the same to the other arm. It was in the same condition. "Why... WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THIS!" I yelled at him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Giyuu POV:

I whimpered. Shinazugawa had found my cuts. I didn't know what to do, I just started crying, right there "I-I'm sorry..! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" I said through tears. I feel his hands wrap around me and I am pulled towards him. He was caressing my back. I sobbed on his shoulder, unable to speak anymore. I grasped his haori tightly, not wanting to let go. This was so unlike him, I wonder what happened. I hear him whisper in my ear.

"It's okay... I'm here..."
