Mission after mission after mission after Misson. Your sure your crow got sick of looking at you because of how many times he had to come to you for a mission?

You yawned and stretched your aching muscles. Your finally going home after about a month or two, you can't remember and you can't be bothered to use your brain to figure it out. Your legs tremble with every forward step. You missed your boyfriend, like, badly. You can't wait to jump in his arms, sit and eat with him as he yells 'umai!' at every bite. You missed it, and you were ready to get back into it.

"I'm home!" You called out. No response. You sighed. As expected. He is the Flame Pillar after all. Your feet dragged you to the bathroom, your body craving for some hot water to relax your tense shoulders.

You got some hot water and filled the bath up. When it came to the height that you wanted, you undressed and sunk yourself in. It felt amazing. After so many cold nights in the forest, having some warmth in a while is refreshing!

After a long soak and washing your hair and body, you hopped back out, the steam in the room making you feel hazy. You wrapped yourself in a towel before opening the door and walking into the hallway towards your shared bedroom.

After getting changed into your pyjamas, as soon as your body hits the bed, you are knocked out.

You woke up to warm hands on your back, your eyes adjusting to the light, blinking repeatedly.

"Wake up sunshine! Looks like you're finally up!" Kyojuro cheered. "..Kyo?" You mumbled. Confused on why he woke you up. "Yes! We are going to visit Senjuro and my Father for dinner!" He yelled, Which made you jolt. "DINNER?! AT WHAT TIME?!" "Hm about an hour!! 😀"

You scrambled to your room to get changed as Kyojuro laughed at your panicked face. After you got changed and ready, you left your bedroom to tell Kyojuro that you were ready. But what you didn't expect, was Kyojuro's big arms to pick you up bridal style, making you latch onto his neck with a yelp. He seemed to enjoy it because as soon as he knew that you were in his arms and secure, he started running full speed towards the Flame estate, where Senjuro and his father lived.

As soon as he got to the front, he halted and looked down at your dizzy face. "I hope I didn't go too fast, did I?" "No... no.. I-its okay.." You mumbled as you tried to get your head still. Kyojuro slowly let you down onto your trembling legs, holding his left shoulder for support.

It seemed Senjuro had seen you two at the gate because he ran out and hugged Kyojuro tightly. "Welcome back, brother." He muttered in his neck. "It's glad to be back! I've brought (name) with me!" "Oh! Hi (name)" "Hey Senjuro!"

After all the greeting, he welcomed you both in for dinner since he was just finished making it.

"Wow, Senjuro! Your cooking skills are amazing! I just wish Kyojuro would take the cooking skills from you since the last time he cooked he almost burned down the-" "UMAI! and that was a one-time thing (name)!" He claimed as you giggled along with Senjuro.

"Oi! Is this dinner ready? You take too long!" You heard a grumpy and raspy yell interrupt. "Oi! Kyojuro! What's she doing here again? I thought I said to get her out!?"

Ah, that reminds me. The first time you've met Kyojuro's father was not the best encounter. As soon as he saw you and froze. His eyes widened at your frame before he blinked and his eyebrows furrowed. You froze. You didn't even breathe. You remember in the pit of your stomach how nervous you were, but you remembered that Kyojuro told you that his father was.. a bit rude.

Last time, he only yelled at you, trying to hold your tears back. But Kyojuro told him to stop, and thankfully he did, grumbling out the door and down to the town for more sake.

But this time, he tried to lay his hand on you, and this time, Kyojuro Rengoku went mad.

"Get out of my house-" "Get your hands off her." Kyojuro sternly said, not only were you scared of his dad, but you were scared of Kyojuro at that moment. He'd always had a smile on his face, no matter what. So seeing his eyes burn, glare, into his father's eyes, his hand tightening around his wrist, pulling him away from you. His smile now no longer upwards, now downwards, his teeth gritting hard in anger.

Kyojuro didn't want this. He wanted a family dinner with you, Senjuro and him. Abd possibly his father. But since he ruined the mood, the comfortable, peaceful, and joyful mood in the air has now fallen into a room where it is almost like there's no air or tension.

Senjuro was only watching in disbelief, shock, and confusion toon why his father was acting like this towards you. He knew that his father was violent, toxic, and cold. But he didn't expect and want this to happen to you. He felt like he wanted to collapse and press his forehead against the hard floor, apologising for his behaviour. But he knew that he couldn't do anything, if he interfered, he knew that he'd get hurt.

Kyojuro finally let go of his wrist. "We're going now. Goodbye injury, the meal was lovely." He said, hugging him before letting go and taking your hand softly and taking you with him.

The walk was silent, surprisingly. Whenever you walked with Kyojuro, he always had something to talk about, it could be about his missions, his good recommendations, the hashers, or some gossip. But the silence made you feel uneasy, so you opened up your mouth to apologise but it looked like he beat you to it.

"I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to end like this, I didn't expect him to lash out at you, more in a violent way I mean. I expected and wanted a lovely dinner with my brother, and the love of my life. I'm sorry for my father's actions, I'm really-" "Okay okay, I get it, You can stop saying sorry now dear." "But-" "kyojuro. It's okay, I'm not hurt or anything. I knew that your father would lash out at me like he did last time, so I prepared for it. I can tell that he has a lovely kind soul under that angry face, I just know it."

Kyojuro smiled, and not it in his usual smile. More like a loving smile, his eyes having hearts in them, his heart beating loudly. He did love you, he did love life and heart for you, and he knows you'd do the same.

"Okay, I know I already said sorry, but I feel like it isn't enough so-" "Kyo! What did I say-" "Darling, please. I wanna spoil you rotten for what happened." "Kyo you don't have to," "I want to." You sighed as you gave in, you already knew that he wouldn't let you say no.

He took you around the town, some food stands catching your eye.

"Arghhhh I'm so full!" "That's what you get for eating so much" "Hey! You ate the same amount as me! How are you not full?!" "I've just got a big stomach!" You laughed at what he said. He did have a big stomach, after all, he often ate with mitsuri, so it's not a big surprise to you.

When you two got home, you ran over to the bed, flopping onto it. "Haha! Aren't you tired hunny bunny!" "Hunny bunny?-" "Yes! I'm gonna name you that because you ate some bunny-shaped ice cream!" "🤨" "😀😍"

"Do you wanna cud-" "Care right now." And you two lovebirds fell asleep while he was spooning you <3
