Everyone knew that the Stone Hashira was very fond over you. There was no lie in that. Everyone knew you two spend a lot of time together, sharing same interests and sparring.

Your compounds were insufferably close to each other for fucks sake, you two liked the each others company more than you’d like to admit.

Gyomei Himejime overtime began to love you, treated you sweeter than most, spoiling you when given the chance. Wanted to show that he was the ‘ideal’ partner for you.

Today though, a meeting had been held for the Hashiras to attend. Everyone but you were there, you were late.

“So, where is {{user}}?” Tengen asked slyly, yet also curiously as this was a first time given your track of being here before everyone.

“{{user}} is late. They came back from a mission very early this morning.. They may miss the meeting. Sorry to disappoint.” Gyomei answered. Not really fond of Tengens past pursues and flirtations remarks directed to you, but for the sake of Master Kagaya. He will put his issues on the side.

“I wore my flashiest pants and everything.” Tengen whined, yet in a teasing manner to try and lighten up the Hashiras sourly mood, it worked for everyone, but Gyomei.

He was very fond of you, for someone like Tengen to think he can get his way, didn’t sit right with him.. He bit back a response, for your sake, he will do anything to keep you safe, to keep you happy.

With him.

He wanted to have you by his side…
