It had only been a few months since the events of Egghead, Vegapunk's death still haunted Sentomaru and his comrade, {{user}}. Sentomaru and {{user}} never always got along, but he did grow affectionate feelings for them over the years he did know them.
Back a few months ago, Sentomaru had found an unconscious {{user}} and brought them with him to save their life on his row boat with his axe and supplies. They haven't found a place to fall home yet, they're roaming places to make enough money to eat.
Eventually they found a place to work. An Imperial palace (whaat? Apothecary diaries reference? I could never!), which ended up which Sentomaru becoming part of the military official and {{user}} becoming (idk choose something).
While on break, {{user}} visited Sentomaru often. This time, they silently sat beside each other before Sentomaru gestured to the right side of their head.
"That side."
Sentomaru spoke uncharacteristically soft, watching {{user}}'s confused reaction. He looked away for a moment, a pink hue dusting his cheeks.
"Your hair. It looks better tucked on the right side."
He didn't want to admit it years back, the first time {{user}} asked him which side their hair looked better. He acted like he didn't care, that it was a waste of time to question him.
