Take Your Hands Off My Neck and Hold On To the Ghost Of My Body

Muichiro Tokitou Is A Terrible Shot

Notes:

AND THE FUN BEGINS

"I heard everything y'know."

Genya murmured randomly, as they trekked through the trees, on route to a new destination.

"Sanemi's talking bullshit, don't listen to anything he says."

Muichiro was busy flipping the map in each direction, trying his best to navigate. He was used to having a crow for this.

"But what if what he's saying is right?

It almost seemed as though he slowed down a little, not wanting to walk beside Muichiro.

"What if there's something.....wrong with me."

"Why does it matter?"

"I really care what 'Nemi thinks of me."

"But do you think there's something wrong with you? Is that how you feel?"

Genya shook his head. "No."

Muichiro took his hand. "Then there isn't anything wrong with you at all. In fact, I think you're perfect. So you have one Hashira's approval."

"Won't Sanemi go and tell the other Hashira about this?"

"Not unless he wants them to hear about how he's been fucking Giyuu, which I am very sure he wants kept a secret."

...........................................................................................

"So, speak now if this place is like, full of horrible memories or whatever."

Genya joked as they stopped at their destination.

"Nope, never been here. No blasts from the past this time."

"Great."

Genya smiled, peering over at the paper in Muichiro's hands.

"So another plant? great."

"I'm pretty sure its all plants Gen. What else could you make medicine out of?"

Muichiro stopped to inspect each plant they passed, holding the paper out for comparison.Occasionally, he'd find one that matched the description and stop to shove it in his pockets.

"I don't know, rocks or some shit?"

"Sure Gen, Sure."

"Don't patronize me!" Genya protested.

Muichiro stood up, standing on his toes so he was high enough to gently kiss him on the lips.

"I would never."

He gave his thigh a quick squeeze, making Genya stiffen up.

"Now help me look? The sooner we finish the sooner we can get back to what your brother rudely interrupted"

Flushed red, Genya nodded.

They sorted through the plants, filling up their pockets in only half an hour.

"Hey Muichiro, doesn't it seem like someones been here?" Genya mentioned, staring at some fresh footprints in the dirt.

Muichiro shrugged them off.

"Probably." He started to follow them, Genya quickly trailing behind. "Can't be anyone too dangerous. There's only one set."

The footprints led to what seemed to be the rubble of a few small shacks, probably already ransacked.
