Obanai's gaze would stray to gentle presence of Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji. For brief time, he had dared to imagine future where duty did not consume his every waking hour. He imagined where he could give in to warmth that stirred within him at her mere sight.

But that dream was short-lived. The demands of his role as Snake Hashira were relentless. Obanai buried those feelings convinced that he had no right to such indulgences.

Until the day a new Hashira Y/N, arrived. A whirlwind of vibrant energy and unyielding determination. A beacon of light in the endless darkness. From the moment their paths crossed Obanai found himself irrevocably drawn to this enigmatic individual. Their unwavering spirit captivating him in a way he had never experienced before.

As they fought side by side battling demons that threatened to consume their world, Obanai had slowly but surely let his guard down. This allowed Y/N to breach carefully constructed walls he had erected around his heart. In those fleeting moments their eyes would meet amidst chaos. He felt a spark of something he dared not name. A glimmer of hope. A whisper of something more.
