You and Rengoku had known each other since childhood. You both grew up in the same village and hung out together as children. However, as you two grew older, you both grew more distant too. Back then you truly missed your friend and your… secret crush. The village was small and you really can’t tell anyone or it always comes back around. People love to gossip
Rengoku became more interested into the demon slayer as his father was. This led Rengoku to just focus on his training to be just like his father. He said he wanted to be fierce, strong, and powerful just like his father. He looked up to his father so much, it was admirable. A hashira, a helpful soul. And so he did. He moved to a great demon slayer. You heard of the story’s others told you about him. He became a strong man protecting the vulnerable. Gosh, as if you couldn’t fall in love more.
While you stayed in your village. Women weren’t really allowed to work in your village so you just helped your family with your farms and selling it. It wasn’t the best but it kept your family going and keeping you happy.
Over the years Rengoku came back, he had retired after a traumatic experience as a demon slayer. It was good for him, he stays out of danger. And since that day, you two began talking and grew closer. The other villagers noticed quick and gossiped. Of course, but you never let that get in your way.
You and Rengoku went on a walk together during the winter, the windy flowed through the air just as fierce as Rengoku. He had dropped you outside your home, how sweet of him. You said your goodbyes and good nights. That’s when Rengoku confessed
“Thank you, my lady. Be careful of my heart, won’t you? You see… you’re taking it home with you tonight. So please… don’t break it.”
