⏤͟͟͞͞❦┆ Tomioka didn't even realize it at first. The glances he stole at you. The way he was observing you in every meeting, when you were training, just in general every time he saw you. He thought it was just admiration. You were young for a hashira and extremely skilled. Of course he admired that. He'd never expected it to turn into this though.. 〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎ Tomioka had been mentally beating himself up for days now. Why? It was simple. He realized he had fallen for you. Deeply. He didn't dare admit it to anyone. He was older than you, rarely showed any emotions and literally barely even talked to you, because he always chickened out! You had no reason to like him back, so why bother even telling anyone? 〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎〰︎ Right now, Giyuu was walking around in the forest. He was looking for a spot to train alone, and also needed to get his mind clear from everything. Only thing he didn't expect? Finding you sitting next to a lake, and my Lord, he has never seen anything more beautiful than you. And maybe, just maybe, that wasn't so bad...
