The white, almost glowing snow was so thick it would suck any person in. Yet, four year old [Name] insisted on playing outside.
Under normal circumstances, the Ice Hashira would say no to such an idea. But the last few weeks have been... rough to say the least.
He and his wife had been in a lot more arguments than normal. The couple were becoming more and more agitated as the days went by, both adults severely stressed.
With the increasing rise of new demons, [F/n] found himself going on more missions. Often spending days away from his family and overworking his muscles to the point where he tore several of them.
Seeing how hard the Ice Hashira was working, The Master decided to give him a chance to stay with his family before going back to work.
[F/n] stood in ankle deep snow in his usual white yukata, the only difference now was that he was wearing his pale blue haori.
Little [Name] on the other hand, was dressed in a severely oversized mulberry yukata with three brightly colored scarfs and thick white shoes. They too were dressed in the same blue haori as their father.
The two looking nearly identical apart from the fact that the child was dressed in more suitable clothing for the freezing weather.
"Is this the spot where you want to build your snowman?" [F/n] asked with a smile as he held his baby's hand.
The child nodded eagerly before running to go gather snow. The fairly built man chuckled at their actions as he sat himself down by a tree and watched them start to roll a small bit of snow around.
For the first time in weeks, [F/n] breathed out a relaxed sigh.
He hasn't felt this relaxed since nearly a month ago. The peace was something he definitely needed.
His muscles were still aching and his arms were sore from swinging them around more than he should. Though having the highest Demon Slayer status had its perks, this was something he did not enjoy.
As he watched [Name] build their snowman, he caught a glimpse of a bird gliding across the sky.
He squinted at the bird and at first thought it was a raven. But as the bird circled closer, realization struck him that it was not a raven, but in-fact a Kasugai crow.
