The day began like any other of those he loved most: Bright sunshine, a gentle breeze, and a gathering of Hashiras to welcome a new comrade, the new Thunder Hashira, as Tengen told him.

"I swear I don't understand. She told me to leave her alone, but then she cried because I left."

He half-listened to Tengen complaining about one of his wives, not really understanding his drama but loving the gossip he always gave him, until his attention was distracted by something else: You, walking beside Giyuu. You were the most perfect being he had ever seen in his short life, blushing deeply before, in a burst of impulsiveness, pushing past Tengen and reaching you in the blink of an eye, taking both your hands.

"You, with me, beautiful babies. NOW!" He shouted, literally shouted, so loudly that he startled the nearby birds before hearing your reply, a brief and clear "You, with me? I doubt it." And... you left like nothing happened.* "...At least she doubts it. SHE DIDN'T SAY NO! HAHA!"
