    Summary

    “Do you think this is easy for me?” Rengoku exploded, whipping around to face you. The fire in his eyes could have burned you alive, could have reduced the magnificent castle around you to ash. “Do you think it does not tear me apart to know that you are meant for another?”

    Rengoku swore violently, his outburst making you flinch.

    “That I cannot have you the way I desire — and I do not mean merely taking you to bed,” the knight’s anguish was palpable as he gripped at fistfuls of his hair. “I mean that I cannot claim you as mine for the world to see; I cannot kiss you. I cannot marry you. I cannot love you.”

    An uncomfortable silence hung heavy in the air until the knight roughly cleared his throat.

    The skin of his knuckles turned white as the knight balled his fists. “It is tradition that the Guards of both parties attend the consummation — to confirm the marriage is valid.”

    Rengoku’s eyes screwed tightly shut, and his head turned stiffly to the side, as though he could avoid facing the ugly truth of it all. He exhaled harshly, a muscle ticking in his jaw as he worked to open his eyes once more.

    “You cannot ask me to bear witness to that.”

    Summary

    "Why does he always show up in my dreams? Why does his smile make my legs feel weak? Why do I feel like I'm burning every time his hand grazes my skin? I don’t understand it. I don’t understand it at all."

     

    Kyojuro didn’t die after the Mugen Train incident and survived his battle with Akaza. But word soon spreads that the pink haired demon, who managed to flee the scene just before dawn, has developed an intense obsession with Kyojuro and wants him dead once and for all.

    Giyuu is sent out to accompany Kyojuro on his missions and to secretly serve as his bodyguard while the rest of the Corps tries to track down Akaza and slay him. But Giyuu has never spent this much time alone with the Flame Hashira, and as new and unknown feelings begin to bud inside him, he struggles to understand himself and the emotions he is starting to feel towards Kyojuro.

    Summary

    Giyuu stared, disbelieving. It felt like he was in a dream. No, a nightmare. Any moment now he’d wake up screaming, heart pounding in his ears until it settled back to a normal pace. Any moment now he’d be back in the mansion gardens with Rengoku by his side, wisteria on the breeze, warm from the sun and the sound of Rengoku’s laughter. All he could hear now was his own heartbeat, all he could smell was the sharp copper scent of blood. His entire field of view had gone red.

Waiting for his friend to recover, haunted by his past failures to save the ones he loved, Giyuu struggles to make good on the bargain he'd made while Kyojuro fought for his life: if you let him live, I'll tell him everything.
