A Specific Butterfly | ShinoGiyuu 🦋🌊

Confused

Shinobu POV

Me and tomioka were both sitting together on the mat I set up. He gave me a basket full of food, freshly baked! How kind of him!

But seriously, after that talk with mitsuri, I'm quite nervous about what to say. What if I mess it up? What if he just straight up rejects me? Wouldn't it affect our relationship?

But I noticed he kept staring at me. Was it the way I ate the food? I should stop trying to change the subject. But I don't know what he would say?

"So. How has your day been... Kocho..?" He asked. How has my day been?! It's completely awful! I'm trapped with these stupid emotions. Thanks! I sighed.

"Well, I have to admit it has been amazing!" I said, smiling in an attempt to tell my anger to go away.

Tomioka just looked at me weirdly, though. "Kocho. I wanted to talk to you about something." He said. Talk to me? About what?!

"Well. I have been feeling quite ill lately, and I'd like to stay at your mansion till I know what is wrong with me." He demanded. What?! Something is wrong with him?? What does he mean?

"Oh? What do you mean? Is it life-threatening?" I asked. He stared at me before continuing, "No. Well. It happens quite frequently." He said. Well, thanks! That wasn't vague at all!

"So, do you -" Tomioka was suddenly cut off by the sound of a loud horn. Suddenly, Tengen was on the other side of us when we turned.

"Why are you here, Uzui-san?" I asked, angry. He crouched down. "Well, I wanted to talk to you two!" He confessed. Talk to us? After he just ruined our moment?

"So. Mitsuri told me about these 'Sleep-overs' she does, and she wanted to do one for all of the hashiras! So, are you guys down for it?" He asked. Mitsuri's sleep-overs? Wouldn't that be dangerous for all the hashiras to be partaking in it? Our job is to protect people, not kill them!

"Okay." Tomioka mumbled. Was he doing this? Well, I guess I'll have to as well since I don't want to upset mitsuri. "Okay, I will too." I said as I smiled. I was still pissed from his sudden entrance.

"Great! See you guys at her estate!" He said as he disappeared within a second. Well, he is the sound hashira.

"Ah, I guess we will have to have this talk some other day." Tomioka added. Oh yes, the talk! It was pretty relaxing before tengen interrupted. Curse you tengen.

"Ah yes!" I added, "It was nice, Tomioka-san! I'll see you at the sleepover then." I said. He nodded as he helped me pack up the mess we left, and he soon left.

Well, that was an attempt. I seriously don't know how I'll tell him, though. Maybe I'll talk to mitsuri again, she will help me! She is the Love Hashira, after all.

《 TIMESKIP 》

I was just finishing up on getting ready as I looked in the mirror multiple times. Was this really worth it? I doubt many of the Hashira will be there anyway. I'm sure they have the same view on how childish this is. But it is mitsuri. Obanai is probably going to be there. I'm not sure about sanemi, though. He probably said no.

I was soon in front of her estate, and I knocked gently. However, I heard footsteps. I saw sanemi stomping over as he had a green yukata on. It was quite a sight to see, though.

Mitsuri soon opened the door as she squealed and immediately hugged me. Sanemi walked over as well, surprisingly not shouting.

"Can I come in." He said firmly as he crossed his arms awkwardly. Or maybe he was just shy! Haha!

"Of course, shinazugawa-san!" Mitsuri said as she moved out the way. She also let me in, and we both walked through the hallways into the main room where all the other hashiras were gathered.
