    Summary

    Giyuu gets hit by a Demon´s blood demon art that compromises his thoughts and takes a few days/weeks to wear off. Coincidentally, Sanemi is also injured and in the butterfly estate at the time and wonders what the fuck is going on with the usually so stand-off-ish water pillar.

    Summary

     “A secret stash within the sanctum of healing… such duplicity.”

     “She offered me one,” Giyuu added blandly. “Said it was ‘prescription-grade sweetness.’”

    Gyomei actually snorted. Snorted.

    Giyuu and Gyomei gossip in the butterfly estate's garden, that's the story

    Summary

    It’s the fifth time Sanemi has caught Giyuu slipping out at an hour only owls approve of, always heading for the west wing of the Ubuyashiki residence. Never during the day—only under a sky full of secrets. Maybe he’s training. Perhaps he’s conspiring. Maybe he’s just being Giyuu.
    Whatever the reason, Sanemi intends to get to the bottom of it. Because he is a diligent Hashira who cares.
    Not because he’s nosy.
    And definitely not because he’s curious about the quiet swordsman with the unreadable eyes.

    Alternatively:

    Sanemi needs to learn to mind his own business, and Giyuu just needs new flowerpots…but somewhere between midnight stakeouts and mysterious midnight walks, curiosity starts to feel a lot like something else.

    Summary

    When Giyuu was four, his mother took him and his sister to see the ocean for the first time.

    It’s only six months before her death, six months before he and Tsutako became orphans, and if Giyuu is honest, his memories of that day have long since faded. He knows they took a train, knows Tsutako was the first to rush into the water still warm from summer’s fading light. He knows he was more reluctant, that he held his mother’s hand while he watched the waves crash upon the shore.

    “Are you afraid?” she asked, her frail fingers carefully intertwined with his own. Giyuu shook his head. “No? I didn’t think so. Do you not want to swim then?” He shook his head.

    “I want to stay with you,” he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

    Together they walked across the beach, the ocean eagerly nipping at their feet. Eventually Giyuu will swim, eventually the water will take him as her own. But not today.

    Today he was his mother’s son.

     

    Blood in the house. Blood on the mountain. Blood in the water.
