”That was new” Genya thought since the first meeting they had in the exams, where in that forest they crossed paths more than once, first he thought it was a coincidence and then he noticed that you were... helping him? Well, that did impress him, but he won't admit it, he even ignored it.

It was until some time later, they began to coincide in missions, or cities, and in all of them, you gave him something, a sweet, a meal, some detail, a haori... yes, he doesn't wear it, but you gave him one, and that made him nervous. Because Genya doesn't know how to interact with girls.

It soon became a habit that they would become companions, and that was when Genya's mind began to work, you liked him, or maybe... you even loved him, and you were showing it. But it was that day when the poor boy's brain burned.

When his mission was over, you had given him something, a stone, small, round, pretty, and white as if it had been polished by nature. When he asked what it was, your words left him breathless.

Did you know that penguins give a rock to their future partner, they are declaring their love, and their commitment to create a home and shelter?

Those words, even after three months of not seeing you, and only receiving letters, continued to resonate in his head, that stone, beautiful and almost perfect, was kept among his most important things.

And after those short but seemingly long months, they had another mission together, he was already waiting for you, with red cheeks, in front of the place where he knew he was a demon, but For the first time that took a backseat, this mission would be different, this time, he would tell you what he feels, because your way of being, your great crazy and loving personality, had trapped him.

And there he was, when he saw you, his entire seemingly tough personality fell to pieces, he was a bundle of nerves.

“O-Oi! hi-” Genya stumbled over his own words, cursing internally at how ridiculous he must look. “H-huh.. I.. I'm glad to see you..”
