A/n my workflow be seriously off today and I have no idea whyyy- anyways enjoy the chapter
Muichiro's PoV:
After that meeting with Kanroji-san and Rengoku-san, I went to buy those steamed buns for y/n. But I didn't tell her was that I went to someplace else before returning home to her. I decided to visit the old water fountain nearby. I remember when I took y/n there a few days after she became a hashira. Even though she's the strongest hashira I know, it really does feel like I'm her bodyguard in away. Even though she doesn't treat me like one.
I don't know what she saw in me but she was always extremely kind to me. Even though I saw how much she was hurting inside. Not once has her smile ever been sincere to me. I keep seeing flashes of sadness in her eyes. I just want to help her, but I don't know if she'll let me into her heart.
~ Back to the present time skip brought to you by Author-san ~
I couldn't sleep. The blood rushing to my face made it too hard to sleep. My and y/n haven't been this close in a while. We sleep in the same room, sure... but the last time we slept on the same futon... it feels so heated in here. I feel her body pressing up on mine and I hear her heartbeat perfectly. I adjusted myself so that I was a bit more comfortable and y/n's arm fell to the side. There was 'What's that on her wrist...'
I help her arm and rolled down the sleeves. I went wide-eyed and speechless in a matter of seconds. 'Cuts?!?!?' I thought. How many and how long has she been doing this to herself?!? I rolled up her sleeve a little more. So many cuts... This has to be going on for at least a year judging by the looks of it. How did I not notice this until now? Is... Is it all my fault.
She started squirming in her sleep. I panicked. I rolled her sleeve back to normal and set her arm back in place. Now's not the time to confront her about it... She must be exhausted and well I am too. I slowly drifted out of consciousness.
A/N I know this chapter was short but lately I've been getting s e r i o u s writer's block. Don't worry, the next chapters will be lengthier and longer.
