A whole month had passed by, Giyuu and Sanemi often talked, but never bothered to know what lied in each other's minds.

The love, they had for each other.

It was just burried down deep inside, their feelings never showing. But, in the back of their minds, there was always an urge, a feeling, to just... confess.

Giyuu attempted to tell Sanemi how he felt, many times, but he never got the right words to say to him.

As for Sanemi, he'd call Giyuu over to train together pretty often just to find an opportunity to tell Giyuu everything.

But, he never did.

"Shinazugawa? Haven't seen him since days..."
Tengen ran his hand through his hair.

"Don't tell me... You're already head over heels for him, are you?"
Tengen leaned closer to Giyuu, smirking a bit.

Giyuu sighed, turning away from Tengen.

"It's been a week since we last talked... I even went to his Estate, but, he wasn't there. And it's not because I just want to see him, it makes me feel... worried."

Tengen nodded understandingly.

"I see... But really, Tomioka, I must say... You two really got along so fast, it's almost unbelievable."
He said.

Giyuu turned around to face Tengen.

"... I've been writing him letters, but he doesn't respond to any... C-Could it be that he's mad at me?"
He questioned.

"Just... Where did he go...?"
He looked at his own feet, sighing out.

"Tomioka, I'm pretty sure he's on a mission, if not in his Estate."
Tengen placed his hand over Giyuu's shoulder.

Giyuu looked up at Tengen.
"Do you really think so?"

"Yes, And it's Shinazugawa we're talking about, so I can say that he's alive!"
Tengen replied, smiling proudly.

Giyuu smiled a little as well.
"I hope he's okay..."

Three days passed, there wasn't any sign of Sanemi, anywhere.

Giyuu was in his Estate, almost ready to go to bed. He layed down, staring the ceiling blankly. He recalled the time when they last talked.

"Does it really take him this long to come back from a mission...?"
Giyuu curled up, trying to go to sleep.

He sighed.

"I really want to see him..."
He muttered before slowly falling asleep.

"Ne? Tomioka?"
Sanemi looked at Giyuu, who was zoning out.

Giyuu gasped softly as he saw Sanemi, right in front of him.

"Shinazugawa-San..."
Giyuu muttered, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"What? Haven't you seen me before?"
Sanemi ruffled Giyuu's hair, chuckling softly.

Giyuu blushed at Sanemi's smiling face.

"I... I missed you!"
Giyuu hugged Sanemi tightly.
He felt as if he was about to tear up.

"There there... It's alright, Tomioka... I missed you too."
Sanemi patted Giyuu's head, planting a soft kiss on his forehead.

"I'm right here with you now, so don't fucking cry."
Sanemi nuzzled against Giyuu's neck, pulling him even closer.
