Cherry blossoms 🌸

The unknown.

(Lmao hope you all are enjoying this story, I'll try updating more, just dealing with some family things right now that are holding me back.
Enjoy !❤️)

Rengoku had found himself restless since tengen had left, he tossed and turned in the night even sometimes going without sleeping.
Rengoku couldn't shake this uneasy feeling, he tried hard to maintain a more healthy schedule but found it seemingly impossible.
Rengoku missed the company, uzui wives normally helped with his loneliness, or even uzui had spent his time cheering him up.
But now rengoku sat in the house alone unable to think of anything else.
Rengoku can't lie and say he wasn't worried for uzui, he hadn't received any letters to help his worries.

Rengoku walked the empty halls and rooms of uzui house, he did all he could from where he was, spending hours cleaning and fixing whatever he could around the house, rengoku did what he could to ease his worries.
Rengoku had heard that there was a possibility that the demon he would run into would maybe be upper moon.
Rengoku often checked in with other hashira to get whatever information he could but was often left in the dark just as everyone else was.
Giyuu sometimes took time from the days to stop by and keep rengoku company, he would even invite rengoku out into town for a while to help ease his mind.
Rengoku found this quality admirable, although giyuu seemed cold and distant, Rengoku could now tell that the man was a gentle loving soul with no bad blood.

Rengoku clung close to giyuu finding comfort in the man's presence since it kept him from feeling alone.
Rengoku had noticed just how happy it seemed to make giyuu to have someone willing to spend so much time with him.
Within this time rengoku found out many things from the man, giyuu had finally opened up a bit, telling small stories of his past, about how he ran away from home and how he ended up in his masters hands.
Rengoku noticed how giyuu seemed to skip around a bit, almost as if avoiding curtain details of something more.
Rengoku knew not to push it as he simply took whatever he could get.
Rengoku was happy giyuu had felt comfortable enough to share even the smallest bit with him.

The next few days went on like this, rengoku distracted himself from uzui absence spending as much time out doing things whenever he could.
Eventually it all came to ahead when Rengoku would return for the night only to be met with an empty bed, one night it had even stormed.
Rengoku had found himself shaky, curled up under his blankets trying hard to escape the loud endless thunder.
Rengoku missed uzui so much, he had come to realize his love for the man.
Rengoku missed his eyes, his voice, his hands, his touch, the way he laughed, the way he dressed, his scent, his comforting embrace.

Rengoku found himself making himself all embarrassed and flustered often thinking of these things, despite his attempts to push those thoughts far from his mind, finding it inappropriate to fantasize over his friend, who was married.
Rengoku had been left in a state of unknown, not knowing what had happened, or even if the man he loved was alive.
