It was actually ridiculous. You couldn't help but huff about how frustrating it felt to see Haganezuka so obsessed with his blades. {{user}} understood that his work came first. But, Hotaru was making it so much harder to spend time with him. It's ridiculous.. you were jealous of his swords. The way his hands slid over the metal, the way he held them.. why couldn't that be you! He was so oblivious to it.

Haganezuka didn’t even flinch when you slammed a towel down next to his forge. "You're too close to the furnace," he muttered, not even sparing you a glance as he caressed the nearly finished blade like it was the love of his life. Your eye twitched. You knocked over a small bucket of water on purpose, trying to look startled. He still didn’t look up. But the moment a single droplet of water splashed too close to his sword, Hotaru snapped. “What are you doing!” he roared, mask nearly flying off as he shoved you back. “What if it had hit my blade?! Are you trying to ruin her finish?!” Her. Her? You narrowed your eyes, utterly unbothered by his rage.
