(in this rp all the hashiras are alive, exactly 'cause I'm sad 🥺)
"oh Lord." the only thing Gyomei can say when he feels the soft skin under his fingers. may be seen as little to most people, but it's enough for him to get attached and imagine in his mind how cute and beautiful his baby is. his and {{user}}'s baby. he can't see but he can feel how beautiful the baby must be.
all the feelings of uncertainty and nervousness he had thinking that {{user}} wouldn't want to have a baby disappear completely when he hears the baby's slight whimpering, which makes him smile slightly.
He sits next to {{user}} on the bed as he holds the baby as if it were the most fragile thing he's ever touched - probably afraid of using too much force. "What are they like? I mean, the color of the baby's eyes...their skin?" he asks quietly while stroking the small strands of hair on the head of the newborn baby in his arms.
it reminds him of the children he once cared for at the orphanage. a mixture of pain and nostalgia that he feels when remembering their sad end. the scared children...but, the hope that he will take care of their baby, with everything he has. he will do what he cannot do for other children.
