It started as fanservice. A joke, a ship name, a few staged moments meant to make fans happy. But when the cameras turn off and the feelings stay, Martin and Juhoon realize the most dangerous part of pretending to be in love... is accidentally falling for real.

War doesn't wait for confessions. On the eve of their most dangerous mission yet, Giyuu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho find themselves on the edge of something fragile - a bond quietly forged in stolen glances, late-night tea, and words they were too afraid to say out loud. They make a promise beneath the wisteria: "We'll both come back alive." But when the dawn breaks, only one of them returns. This is my first finished book, hope u enjoy it! (i suck at writing fight scenes, i got lazy so theres a lot of time skips) NO NSFW

In an alternate ending where Shinobu survives the final battle, she and Giyu navigate the quiet aftermath of war. This is a story of slow healing, unspoken feelings, and the difficult, often silent, journey of two broken warriors finding solace and building a future together amidst their scars. I do not own the original work or the characters; all rights belong to Koyoharu Gotōge. I only own the plot of this fanfic.
