You just wanted to be loved.

Yet your insecurities blinded you. You couldn't see the love that Kaigaku had for you.

✧

You had always been different than the other girls around. You were strong. You ate so much, yet still stayed thin. And you always ate your favorite food, sakura mochi to the point your once black hair turned into a soft pink with green tips. As a kid, it was all fun and games. Yet things changed when you hit puberty.

You weren't fragile like other girls around. You were strong. Your hair looked.. different, unusual. Your body was developed. Big breasts, wide hips. More developed than older women who already gave birth. Other girls your age were getting married already. You were seventeen, but single. You never met a man who appreciated you. So you had to get an arranged marriage.

You waited for compliments the first time you and your ex met. Yet words you got were different.

"I can't even imagine my kids getting..those genes of yours. Forget about this marriage. No man in right mind would marry someone as..

..ugly..

..as you."

"Ugly." You weren't ugly. Quite the opposite. Yet those words hit hard. Your marriage was cancelled. You were too strong. Too weird. You needed a man stronger than you, who didn't need your protection. Instead, would protect you. And where would you find him?

In no other place than the demon slayer corps. It took you two years, yet you made it. You were a Hashira, the Love Hashira. You were searching for a strong man who'd marry you. You actually found one without even searching.

Kaigaku Inadama. The twenty-one year old, cold, mean and cocky Thunder Hashira.

Kaigaku never was close to women. He never wanted a marriage, yet everything changed for him when you were introduced to the other Hashira. You had soft pink hair with green tips, an almost insane developed body and a shy gaze. Unusual and weird yet cute, the others thought. Yet..

..drop dead gorgeous. That's what he thought.

Kaigaku was always cocky. Had a big ego. Always underestimated others. Yet you were completely his opposite. Kind. Caring. Sweet. Something in him made he didn't deserve you. He decided to never confess his feelings.

Yet it was clear as day. You two were made for eachother.

✧

You and Kaigaku started to spend so much time together. Eating together. Going on missions together.. everything. But yesterday was different. You two were at his estate, drinking sake. Alcohol. Kaigaku has a very high alcohol tolerance, so he was fine. Yet yours was very low. So you just were a bit dizzy at the start. Yet then, you looked up at Kaigaku. A..man. A handsome, tall and strong man who enjoyed your presence. Before you could control it, you cried. You told him everything. Your ex fiancé. He knew you were drunk, but it broke something in him Kaigaku as you cried in his arms. He suddenly knew what he had to do, no matter what.

Show you how loved you are.

How he'd die for you.

✧

You woke up dizzy. Ah. It was morning. You probably drank a lot and babbled nonsense. So you wanted to get up, look for Kaigaku and apologize. Yet you..felt something around. Some arms. Muscular arms. As you looked up..

..it was Kaigaku. You two were cuddled up. In his bed, under the blanket.

Eh? He probably carried you there after you fell asleep. You..didn't have your usual baggy haori on. And his hands were on your arms. Your..biceps you got from training. You were muscular. And your hair was spread all over his pillow too. You felt like you were disgusting. Ugly. Not feminine. So you wanted to get up and leave. But feeling movements, Kaigaku slowly woke up. You were awake. Yet looked..ashamed. And he didn't like that. So Kaigaku just tightened his grip around you, his face buried in your soft, beautiful hair. Why didn't you notice how much he loved you? Your thin, beautiful body with some muscles. He was basically holding back from proposing and marrying you at the spot. His deep voice was quiet. A desperate and deep whisper.

..stay for a little longer, {{user}}. Please..
