Since seeing this fanart, it has given me some more Hyousuke brainrot as I have been wanting to make a harbinger AU for him for a while but wasn't sure how to write it out. My Laughing Under the Fireworks verse was mostly meant to be a sibling AU with my friend's Yoimiya to my Hyousuke, but with the way I've written it, I thought it may as well be an AU where Hyousuke is also a harbinger. So anyway... harbinger-Hyousuke headcanons!

He's Hyousuke Naganohara instead of Hyousuke Saito in this verse, and he's Yoimiya's older brother. He was granted an electro vision before Yoimiya had gotten her pyro vision.

His primary sword was the Kashuu Kiyomitsu. A blade that was passed down to him by his mentor, Souji Okita. However when Hyousuke took the blade with him to challenge the Raiden Shogun at Tenshukaku, some pieces of the blade had broken and eventually the sword had split in halves, being unrepairable. Hyousuke had lost the duel here and was sentenced by the musou no hitotachi. Afterwards he had been declared dead by the Raiden Shogun and all of Inazuma. Or is he really dead?

Despite having been striked down by the musou no hitotachi, he was found unconscious in the middle of the snowy fields by Pulcinella. Hyousuke asks the man who he is and where he is. Pulcinella introduces himself and tells him he is in Snezhnaya.

Hyousuke is quite familiar with the fatui, considering he had fought a few of them in Inazuma and had even met La Signora down the line. The more Hyousuke starts getting familiar with Pulcinella, the fatui, and Snezhnaya as a whole, he starts attending the fatui harbinger meetings that Pulcinella would go to.

Once Hyousuke was made into the 14th harbinger and went by the name "Brighella", he's made it his goal to end the fatui and their schemes. The fatui and harbingers are unaware of this goal. However they are aware that his primary goal was to return to Inazuma and rejoin the war there ad end the Vision Hunt Decree as well as the Raiden Shogun.

He wears a mask, covering his upperface, including his eyes . I'd imagine his mask looks a little something similar to this:

He wears a whole different outfit, something a little similar to this:

He also wears a white cloak to cover himself and wears his hair down.

He lost his right eye from his duel with Sara Kujou before challenging the Raiden Shogun

Like how I normally write his appearance, he has a big gash of scar on his chest from the musou no hitotachi. He can still feel the stinging sensation from it and it hurts when being touched.

#v: laughing under the fireworks #i'm also fine with hyousuke just being hyousuke saito instead of a naganohara in this verse #though this verse mostly revolves around hyousuke and yoimiya being siblings #but i'm fine with making them not related in this au too #i'm fine with anything really as long as i don't have to like dumb down my character

ᴘᴀɪʀɪɴɢ:Kashuu Kiyomitsu x Saniwa!Reader

ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: The beginning of a saniwa who is just starting out.

ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: Angst

ᴀ/ɴ: I thought it be nice to start introducing my fellow followers to Touken Ranbu just as my friends had. Starting with a very nice sword that I finally gotten yesterday.

*✧･ﾟ:͙⊱••✩••̩̩͙⊰•*✧･ﾟ:

"Aruji... Do you really know what you're doing?" Kashuu placed a hand against his hip as he watched (Y/N) work with the device in the citadel. "I have to understand it first so I'm studying it. I heard I can open the gates to the time and close it without any meaningful damage..." (Y/N) spoke softly. "I just need to get better for the other swords..."

Kashuu frowned. He placed another hand on your shoulder as he glanced at Konnosuke. "Even if you are a bit out of touch, Konnosuke is here to help." With a sigh, the saniwa stepped back. "I just... I want to be as reliable as Kashuu is to me. I want the upcoming Toudan to be as their Saniwa." With a defeated sigh, (Y/N) let go of the device. Looking at Kashuu whose back faced the thousand year sakura tree. Following your eyes, he gazed at the tree before taking your hand with his. "Aruji... (Y/N)-sama even if you don't know anything... I'll be forever with you until fate decides we done our part." Kashuu smiled. "Kashuu-kun..." (Y/N) smiled back.

---

"Focus on me, aruji." Kashuu's voice quivered. His arms held you tightly. "We're almost safe. Please. Please aruji-sama." His pleads filled you with tears. "You'll be fine, we just have to find Yagen-" (Y/N)'s head turned as Kashuu's heart dropped. Yagen's voice was hurt and not only that both he and the saniwa heard the sound of a shattering blade. "YAGEN!" The forced cry of their master alarmed the rest of the swords.

"Tell... tell them to retreat, Kashuu-" He didn't had to be told twice. Ordering the troops to retreat before he noticed that their saniwa had fully lost consciousness. Retreating Yagen's remains was hard with the kebiishi remaining there. However it had been done with the uchigatana. Kashuu had been leading the group as (Y/N) recuperated. Who would have thought it would take so much time?

Without Yagen, their knowledge was limited. Repairing Yagen took a lot of their resource as they had to make up for the parts that were lost to the wind. Not only did he know that Yagen would be reluctant, he wouldn't remember (Y/N) either. The mission had only been to clear out anything that remained from last time, he didn't understand who had attempted to alter the past.

"Is... aruji-sama going to come back to us?" The tantous would sneak into the room whenever Kashuu wasn't around to keep the unconscious (Y/N) company. It broke his heart. He knew how much they wanted to ensure they wouldn't have to worry. The Time Restoration Group had no missions that they could take in order to get someone of a similar practice or lend a hand to their Saniwa. Keeping appearances was hard when all Kashuu could do was worry feverishly for (Y/N)-sama.

"Kashuu-san." Gokotai looked at him. "Do you think aruji-sama will recover?"

"I think they'll recover." He tried to smile for him as the two watched over. "Yagen-kun... Will he remember aruji-sama? Or us...?" Kashuu shook his head. "He may remember his brothers but the memories he made here... are lost forever." Kashuu spoke softly before he stroked Gokotai's hair. The suzu bells began to ring. Kashuu and Gokorai shared a worried look before they met the rest by the suzu bells. Konnosuke sat calmly as he waited for the rest of the people to gather.

The crowd had began to talk worriedly about what was happening as the last to arrive had been the secretary of the citadel.

"I called you here to discuss the absence of your Saniwa." Konnosuke looked at the Toudan. "Due to their abesence the Time Restoration Group has decided to send in their own people to monitor and currently lead this citadel until their recovery is finalized. I let them know that one of our Tantou had fallen in battle and would help us recover him. Is there any questions?"

"Why now?" They all began to ask before Kashuu cleared his throat. "Better now than never, let's be humble with the Time Restoration group. Our Saniwa had been trained by them and it was because of them we have meet aruji-sama."

Everyone calmed down at those words. Recovery for everyone had been advanced and duties daily were encouraged. Monitoring the Saniwa had become easier and improvements had been shown as they were informed of the current waking of their master during their sortie to the Eras.

Now all sat by the bedroom waiting for the Time Restoration Group to exit. Konnosuke stayed by the door before it was opened as Kashuu was given the authorization to enter the room. At the bed laid (Y/N) who remained staring out the open window as the group of medics dispersed. "(Y/N)..."

He kneeled down in front of the bed. "Do you..."

"I remember, thank you Kashuu-chan." They smiled at him.

Selfish Lips

nonnie hi, are you aware that you have the biggest fucking brain? who are you let me kiss you and hug you, also you have such amazing thoughts

 Won’t you allow him to be selfish?

To kiss you with such selfish little lips? Dyed in scarlet and painted with nothing but want and desire and lust?

To let his cherry painted fingers dash over your skin and come undone under him?

Would you ever dare to allow him such a pleasure?

As you whisper nothing but sweet little praises into his ears, your fingers tucked under his chin and pull him closer.

He leans into your touch like this, a needy little whimper leaving his lips, and you tell him that he can be as selfish as he wants.

So his gloved hands tangle into your clothing, desperate and wanting – and slam your lips together. He cares not for the rouge that decorates his lips, washing away with the tide.

It is your little world here, behind these closed doors of his little backstage room; your hands tangling on his locks and giving it just a little experimental tug.

Poor Kashuu nigh cums from that alone, his moan oh so loud – bouncing off of the walls and ringing in your ears. It’s nothing but little wanton sounds from his lips, cheeks flushed and head swirling with nothing but lust and need.

When you two part, there is a string of saliva connecting you two; a silvery sliver of a string of ate.

Even as you two part ways, he whispers that he wants more, timidly asking you for such a prize.

Again and again, you will happily give yourself up to his selfish little lips.

[sword-brainrot]

Hello there! I really liked the hcs you did a while back on the swords comforting their s/o after a nightmare. Could I make a similar request, but with Hasebe, Kashuu, and Tomoegata (separate of course). I enjoy your writing very much, hopefully you're doing well! ~♥

Hasebe, Kashuu, and Tomoegata Comforting their s/o after a Nightmare (GN!Reader)

♡ Hasebe would be making his nightly rounds before he went to bed, it was his job to make sure the citadel was safe and most importantly, his saniwa was safe.

♡ Passing the saniwa's bedroom, hearing rustling instead; he didn't think too much of it. Probably getting more comfortable in their bed to get well deserved sleep. Thank the gods he was there to keep them safe and tend to anything they needed.

♡ It was when he was starting to walk away, he heard murmurs in the chamber, pleading no's and the rustling become more fierce.

♡ Hasebe's thoughts went a mile a minute as panic sent into overdrive, nearly dropping his lantern he was carrying with him on his walk, he ran back and opened with a loud bang as he yelled into the darkness, "ARUJI??"

♡ The bang and Hasebe's worried scream quickly woke the saniwa in a panic (as well as most of the citadel, probably). Their face stained with tears and their body refusing to calm down, shaking like a leaf trying desperately to hang on to the branch.

♡ Hasebe would waste no time from throwing aside his light and running over to his dear saniwa, embracing them in the tightest hug imaginable.

♡ "I am so happy you're okay!" His face would be buried into their neck but anyone could tell from his shaky voice that he was as close to tears as they were.

♡ If they confess that they were having bad nightmares, Hasebe would listen intently and not say a word until they were done explaining as far as they were comfortable. His hand still holding onto theirs throughout it all.

♡ Hasebe would also confess that he also had plenty of nightmares since becoming human and gaining the ability to dream. They were very bad at first, about his old master Nobunaga... Then the nightmares would transform into his saniwa where he would be left behind once again, no matter how much he showed his masters he loved them.

♡ "They have gotten better lately because... I trust you, aruji. I hope you trust me too and know I will not leave your side."

♡ Hasebe would offer to stay by their side until they fallen asleep, even offering to go steal a book from someone to give a little tale so they can dream to a story. If they ask him to just stay with them... His face would go scarlet... but he wouldn't say no.

♡ He would slide in beside them, nervous to touch them or make them uncomfortable. As they rest their head on his chest, he would find his arms hovering over their body for a little while before gently setting themselves down and rub their back in soothing circles. A smile on his face as he watches them slowly drift back to sleep... in a more peaceful dream.

♡ Kashuu's room would be fairly close to the saniwa's due to being one of the first swords in the citadel (if not the first). Kashuu would already be asleep by the time the scream erupted from their room.

♡ Normally, Kashuu would be someone fairly hard to wake up. Not because he was a heavy sleeper... no, they would fear the wrath of Kashuu from waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

♡ The scream shook Kashuu awake, causing him to bolt up... eyes still trying to realize the surroundings before him. His sword was quickly grabbed as he ran to your room as fast as he could, knowing others would quickly follow.

♡ The scene before him, after he opened the door, was his saniwa bend over trying to catch their breath as sweat coated their skin. More footsteps followed behind Kashuu. The look of panic they gave Kashuu was all he needed for him to close to door slightly and turn to the crowd that came, anxiously trying to look inside to help their master.

♡ "Go to bed everyone, it's alright. It was just a spider." He made a shooing motion to them, not even caring for their retorts before closing the door. Leaving the enclosed room to be just him and his master.

♡ His silent footsteps found its way before his master as he gently dapped their forehead to clear of the sweat. His long, beautiful nails, brushing against hair as he pulled it slightly back so it didn't get in their face.

♡ "Focus on me. Nothing else or I'm going to get jealous." His tone was serious yet also playful. His ruby eyes looking down at his master with compassion. When they finally looked up at him, he gave them a little wink.

♡ "Come on, let's get you cleaned up."

♡ Even if they wanted nothing more to curl up into themselves, Kashuu's gentle hand grabbed them and lifted them up. Slowly leading them to the washroom where he took extra care in cleaning their face and brushing back their hair. All the while complimenting them. Their breathing slowed as they focused on Kashuu's delicate care.

♡ "You don't have to talk about what happened, it seemed serious. I also get nightmares so if you do need to talk, I'm here."

♡ His eyes wouldn't look into the mirror as he did the last finishing touches to clean them up. Saniwa knew that confessing such a thing was a big step for someone like Kashuu.

♡ "Let's get you back to bed so I can finish my beauty sleep." He would offer to do a face mask for them before going to bed, making sure they knew that no matter how bad the dream was... they were cared for and safe where they were currently.

♡ Tomoegata arrived late into the night where the sun threatened to soon arise before him. The mission was tediously long but he wanted to make his master proud, even if he was slightly disheartened that he would not be able to talk to them before he had to rest for the night.

♡ He was going to just drop off the report to their office before heading to bed.

♡ Not bothering to announce his presence, he opened the door to the study to leave the paperwork on the desk that laid in the darkness of the room.

♡ It was only when he got closer, about to drop the papers, did he see that there was a figure in the darkness. Their head laying on the desk, sleeping quietly.

♡ He turned on the light, realizing his precious master had fallen asleep at their desk... with tears?

♡ Tomoegata quickly dropped the papers and rush over beside them, shaking them slightly to wake them.

♡ The first thing they saw when they opened their blurry, wet eyes was a figure crouched beside them so they were eye level... A face of concern of a Naginata sword.

♡ "Aruji? Are you hurt? Are you sick? Should I carry you back or get medical help?"

♡ Tomoegata Naginata is a man with no history to his name therefore he does not experience dreams as often as the other swords. At least none that he would be able to remember.

♡ They slowly sat up, their back aching from how they laid. He was there helping and brushed away the tears with his sleeve.

♡ Explaining that they just had a bad dream would earn them a confused look. "What is that? Is that like a fainting spell?" His innocent, bewildered question would honestly make anyone laugh.

♡ "It's when you dream, or picture something while you sleep, that might be connected to something in your past or something that you fear that makes you emotional to the point of... crying, as you saw."

♡ His mouth would be agape as he listened. Asking how he cures their bad dream so he can ensure you sleep peacefully.

♡ In the end, after answering his, very cute, questions. He would make the two of you tea as they sat outside to enjoy the fleeting moment with the stars and the moon. The tea being pleasantly warm against the more chilly air around them.

♡ "I may not understand much about this world or humans... But whatever you require, please let me know and I will do anything to help with these nightmares, aruji."

♡ Him being overly concerned and trying to understand exactly what happened warmed their heart to the point that the nightmare was becoming a fleeting memory like the stars above.

♡ "You're enough as is, Tomoe. Thank you. I think I can sleep after this tea and talking to you."

♡ "No matter what time is it, if you have a bad dream, I will listen and make you all the tea you desire."

Touken Ranbu | Kashuu Kiyomitsu x Saniwa/Reader | G | 1.5k words ao3 link

Neither night nor morn / do I shift my gaze from / the plum blossoms —Tsurayuki

Five variations of the same question. Or: longing in five glimpses.

one

When Kashuu Kiyomitsu opened his eyes for the first time, vision blurred due to the newness of his form, he thought to himself, Ah, maybe this is it. 

Then the splotches of color coalesced into a vivid, smiling face, and for a moment Kashuu wanted to shut his eyes, afraid he'd go blind from the radiance. But then that face spoke, and the voice was bright and sweet, like a morning stroll in a garden full of plum trees.

"Hello, Kashuu, nice to meet you. I'm new to this, but I hope we get along well."

There was something to be said about first choices, how one deliberated based on the amount of affection per option. Perhaps it was the smile, spring-glazed and youthful, glittering in the diffuse afternoon light. It unfurled something within Kashuu, a bud wishing to bloom, the longing stitched carefully to the petals.

Maybe this is it, he repeated. That thing he so yearned for, answered in that plum blossom smile.

two

During the first nights of your life as a saniwa, you suggested to Kashuu that both of you should sleep in the same room.

The citadel was big and quiet, and apart from your staccato footsteps that echo in the empty hallways and your lilting voice that filled the empty rooms, only the twittering of birds could be heard outside. If it was a particularly windy day, the susurrus of leaves also provided for background noise.

"It's just the two of us. Wouldn't it be lonely to sleep in a room all by yourself?"

You insisted to lay the futon side by side, unaware (or perhaps uncaring) of what it intimated.

Hours later, when the moon would be at its highest, Kashuu would lay awake, watching you sleep. He would see your hand peeking out of the blanket, clenched in a loose fist. It would be so easy to reach out and place his own hand above yours, the desire so inexplicably overwhelming, in that small distance between you and him.

He would try, then. But right before the moment his skin could touch yours, his hand would recoil, burned by a sudden frisson of fear. He would look at his hand – that treacherous limb – imagining the warmth that exuded from your skin, imagining what would happen if he hadn't jerked his hand back. Would it really be that easy, to ask for love from that plum blossom smile, the love that he had so yearned for all his life?

From where you slept, no answers came.

three

Only a few weeks had gone by, but Kashuu could no longer remember how quiet and empty the citadel had been. Your family had grown so large in such a short time (“Family,” you had said, smile barely noticeable if not for the crinkle of your eyes), and Kashuu was glad for it, really, but lurking in the dark corners was the clawing dread of being spurned away and replaced as more and more touken danshi arrived. Sometimes, it kept him up at night, intrusive thoughts seizing his throat like a sharp, persistent vise.

"Is there something worrying you, Kashuu?" you had asked, once, after you invited him for tea and watched the tantou play around the garden.

He had stared at his cup, debating over his reply, but he must've taken too long, because a hand appeared and settled on his wrist, squeezing it lightly, a comforting gesture. And Kashuu remembered the night of his aborted touch, his hesitation a direct contrast to the sure weight of your hand.

"If you don't want to tell me, that's okay, but I'm always here if you want to talk to somebody."

Will you always be here for me, then? But he didn't say the words out loud, paralyzed by his fear of your answer. If a new sword comes along, cuter and more beautiful than I am, will you still touch my hand like how you did now, soft and tender just like the way I dreamed of it most nights?

Will you love me the way I want you to love me?

There were no answers, of course; only consolation.

four

"There's something different about you today."

Kashuu startled. The idea that you would notice any changes he’d made to himself only served to render him more hopeful, and these days his hope oscillated the more he prolonged his aching silence.

You snapped your fingers. "Oh, your nails! Did you get new nail polish?"

Warmth bloomed inside his chest. "Yes."

You stepped closer, taking one of his hands and studying his nails. In this proximity, Kashuu could feel the heat emanating from your body, your breathing a ghostly press against his fingers. He held himself still as you continued examining his hand; tamped down the implacable urge to reciprocate your grasp and intertwine his fingers with yours.

Then, meeting his eyes, you declared: "Paint my nails too."

Kashuu was distinctly aware that you hadn't let go of his hand, but he ignored that little, insistent fact and bit his tongue, nodded instead.

Ten minutes later found you and him sitting on your futon, Kashuu applying polish on your nails with painstaking care. It had been a while since he was in your room, the last time being during the early days when it had been just you and him. On one level, it was nostalgic; on another, agony.

“Relax, Kashuu,” you said, and that was when Kashuu realized that his hands were trembling. Nerves? How quaint. “It won’t bother me if you accidentally paint outside my nails.”

“Well, I will. It’s just … I haven’t painted somebody else’s nails before.”

“So that makes me the first?”

Somehow that brought heat to Kashuu’s cheeks.

“Don’t blame me if it turned out ugly.”

A chuckle. “I won’t.”

When he finished, you brought up your hands to admire Kashuu’s work, which, he noted admittedly, required further practice (should they do it again in the future?). The shaft of sunlight through the window panes spilled onto your skin like luminous, molten liquid. Kashuu watched your expression, your smile an intimate, coveted secret, and for one ethereal moment Kashuu wondered if you would allow him to press his fingers to your lips, to see if that smile was just an illusion of light.

You raised your eyes in his direction. The smile remained. “I like it.”

Something lodged in his throat, one Kashuu swallowed to get rid of. He averted his gaze, because if he didn’t, the yearning that took root inside of him centuries ago might grow uncontrollably until it would burst out of the crevices of his skin and bones.

It would only take a plum blossom smile, after all, to undo him.

five

What would it take to unravel you? To pluck your petaled secret, one by one, until all that’s left was the bare-boned stem of your vulnerability.

On one sunny day, Kashuu and his team returned to the citadel after a long, harrowing campaign, bruised and battered, barely surviving. You were standing a few feet away, intending to greet them a welcome home (as you always did, with effusive affection). But upon seeing their perilous state, your face crumbled into shock and demanded they get treated right away. The worry you emitted was so palpable it affected the air like static.

After hours of convalescence, Kashuu sought you out and found you sitting at the engawa, staring at the garden. You did not acknowledge him when he sat next to you, lost in your thoughts as it was. And for a while: liminal silence.

But then this, faintly, whispered into the muted air: “I thought I was going to lose you.”

You, with your half-mast gaze, the stiff line of your mouth, the pinch in your eyebrows – it jolted Kashuu with a realization: his near-brush with death terrified you. Kashuu wanted, badly, to reach out, brush the stray lock out of your taut face and rest his hand on your cheek. He wanted to assure you of his presence, of his vitality, that he didn’t die, that he’s still here, next to you, still wanting, still yearning.

“Will you cry if I –” Kashuu began haltingly “– if I die…?”

And you finally looked at him, eyes glassy, smile tremulous. “Oh, Kashuu.”

And he couldn’t take it anymore: he took your hands, cradled them close to his lips, mouthing prayers into your skin. For a long time, Kashuu had been asking questions the answers to which he had wanted to know but never had the courage to hear. But this – this right now, there was no need for the act of utterance, the release that he had imagined for so many nights when he couldn’t sleep. He could feel it in the way you shivered in his hold, the shuddering sigh that escaped your lips. The way your hands curved to fit in his.

When he brought his gaze back to yours, you were still smiling, but now it was subdued, like the sky minutes before sunrise.

“I want you to know,” you said, “that there’s nobody like you. Nobody. Nobody can replace you, Kashuu. Nobody.”

In the fiery, sunset-lit garden, Kashuu closed his eyes, and breathed.

six

The next day, you and Kashuu sat at the citadel roof to watch the sunrise, hands entwined.

Welcome to my Imagination World Blog [Read first before you visit and then ask a question]

You woke up in a little dark area it was hard to see anything but you felt ..something soft?.. like you were laying on something but you got up anyways to try to look around carefully in the dark and you felt something on your hand ...a string...? You pull the string to light the room you were in but you look around this random room but then you realize you see a comfy couch probably you were laying on it?, a bookshelf full of books and games on the shelf, a small long table with drinks, snacks, and a desk along with a computer with a sticky note that says "If you reading this note Welcome you enter to my blog I know you just woke up to my comfy guess room area but worry not there is a door right behind you but unfortunately, it super locked because while you enter a room it will automatically close and if you came here by mistake without thinking just simply say to the door in a calm voice 'Please open the door I didn't mean to come here'. If the door doesn't open I'm sorry to say this you came here for a reason to probably to check out of my blog in curiosity or whats caught your eye to hope you enjoy your stay". But before you took the sticky note out on the computer screen but you hear a sound in the computer camera light-up red it's like it starts to record something but then you see a figure on the computer screen.

Well, I didn't haven't the chance to play the whole thing yet either I only pick the starter sword is Kashuu Kiyomitsu he is my favorite sword sure the rest of the starter swords and other swords bois are the best and the most favorites and I think will try to play it the Japanese version if I get a chance to understand this game whatever I'm doing but I did check touken ranbu fandom wiki has a guide of people how to play the game on my phone. Oh also, I heard there is an English version YES I played it on my computer or my phone I'm level 20, plus leveling up my swords bois I have to be strong when they are in battle. also, I did saw the anime seasons one & two but I do remember they're going to be touken ranbu season 3? ugh man I love touken ranbu so damn much I'm a big fan.

[HeavenlyImagination]: Oh, also I do have a full teir maker lists of my favorite touken ranbu swords and other characters as well if you were wondering who is my favorite characters the most so here you go.

[HeavenlyImagination]: My Second list is Twisted Wonderland Okay, soo when I discover twst from Twitter and Tumblr on an ad or a tweet/post with beautiful fan art or a screenshot it was super random to see from that game even though I haven't a clue what going on in my timeline on the internet and why twst was so popular. And from what I understand Is part of Disney in japan & Aniplex its a villain's world with beautiful hot boys in a boy's school but you might see a very familiar seven Disney villains while playing in the game stories. Yes it got me hook when I download it from last year on June 1st, yes I know it's Japanese version as well but I love playing it so damn much sure can't understand the language but worry not I found someone who translates of twisted wonderland game while playing it to understand of what's going in the game story and leveling up your twst boys in the lessons and battles anyways here the link who they are the translators are [AmiYoshiko]/[OtomeAyui]/[Shel_BB] they are super amazing people check them out and here is my favorite twst boy's list.

[HeavenlyImagination]: My Second list is Obey me! BOI when I download this game on June 1st, 2020 (the same day I download twst) it was very close to Lucifer's Birthday but Oh man this game of obey me! with demons world hmmm I understand people love this game hehe.*Ahem* this too was super random in my timeline as well at Twitter/Tumblr on ad + fanart kinda caught my eye with a confusing face I was making soo this app game is a romance simulation and RPG card mobile game is a series of tasks and to choose how you wish to enjoy your life at Devildom even I thought the part of the task has an ALOT of stories I thought there were 30 stories but then I saw Obey me Twitter keep updating more stories to 50s main stories long or more but right now I'm in chapter 30 I'm sorta behind of the game story chapters but my god leveling up your favorite boys in the dancing battle to the normal and hard mode are super challenging. sooo here is my favorite characters list of obey me demons + angels boys.

[HeavenlyImagination]: My Third list is the Fate/GO app game but I did watch first is Fate/Grand Order & the servent in the anime are very interesting I know there a lot more fate series anime I wish to watch but I only did watch it Fate Grand Order & Fate/Apocrypha that all to understand it to watch but as for the rest of fate series is kinda meh, to be honest. I don't remember when I download the fate/go app game and yeah I play it in the past but I stop in chapter 3 I think but pretty much didn't play much anymore I only did to the login of what new their + new servant even though I didn't get any new servent in the gotcha thing whatever it called to get the new servants.

[HeavenlyImagination]: My Fourth list is the Genshin Impact is a very super POPULAR game of people who LOVE playing this game and the stories oh so good I'm trying my very best to understand the stories while playing the game by leveling up to fight the enemy by leveling up even though I'm so new at it. So when I started download genshin impact last year on Nov 29 when I discover its free download on PlayStation 4 & play store so you could say I play it for a little because I need time to play it slowly reason why well I haven't played it on my PlayStation 4 for the longest while soo yeah I need to update it. And as for the same for playing on mobile, I play it & stop playing it for a little bit. (the other reason why stop playing it I have online classes with homework assignments I have to do soo I'm a little behind on games update) but I love the Genshin characters and their amazing fighting power to fight the enemy and my god some bosses are tough to beat I understand you need ALOT of food while going to a fight with the enemy with lower hp is a no-no.

[HeavenlyImagination]: My Fifth list is Granblue Fantasy soo I saw the anime season 1 but I haven't watched season 2 yet and as for the granblue fantasy mobile game is a little confusing for a bit at the beginning even though I play it while doing how to play tutorial of the story thing. And for the granblue characters with some of them, I'm familiar with, and as for the other granblue characters not so familiar because I'm behind of what news games + animes I haven't seen or saw yet. But I do remember there other granblue fantasy game I might get in the future Granblue Fantasy: Versus on PlayStation 4, I heard it's a popular game I think but I might be wrong though.

[HeavenlyImagination]: All right that all see you the next post I hope enjoy your stay see you all later

“I'm still upset Kashuu Kiyomitsu wasn't at Ranbu Sai 2018. WTF me? Move on already It's been 7 months there are other things to be upset about. But my kokoro is still broko that soutaichou wasn't there and I swear I was imagining everyone singing like half the songs to him during the whole thing. I wonder if he attended any performances at least? Maybe I can at least feed on my delusions then?”

Hello~! What would Yagen and Kashuu do, if their Saniwa is sick but still insist on working? They are really stubborn about that and just don't want to stay in bed all day.

Thank you!

overHdjsjfjg

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO PATIENT WITH M E, LOVE. I HOPE YOU LIKE THISSSS

Yagen Toushirou

The minute Yagen finds out that you’re sick as hell not in a good way, he immediately wants you to rest. He’ll fucking guard your room himself if he must. He doesn’t panic like Kashuu will (more on that later) but to him, it’s your health above all. He will be that nurse who comes to check on you every hour for updates, taking your temperature and so on and so forth.

He keeps his brothers away from you during this time. The more hyper ones at least, they can go sit in a corner and think about what they’ve done.The quieter ones like Gokotai or Akita or Ichigo can stay, he can trust them. They can help him take care of you!

And then you sneak outta your room while Gokotai’s tiger(s) didn’t notice and now you’re WORKING? IN THIS CITADEL? OH N O. Yagen may be small as fuck (5 feet/153 cm) but damn right he’s going to carry you back to your DAMN ROOM.

Now the more hyper brothers are of use. They rat you out the minute you try to work, and keep you distracted. Sure they’re going to carry you back to your room and take away anything that seems like work but damn right they are going to help you get better. It’s what the doc ordered!

If you’re just bored in bed, it’s up to Yagen and the Toushirous to the rescue! Gokotai with her tiger(s), Hirano and Maeda with stories and four leaf clovers, Hakata with whatever the heck he’s up to, and so on and so forth! Maybe Yagen will give you a lap pillow to help you relax? I mean you do it to him and he does it to his siblings. Why not complete the circle of love and give you a lap pillow!!

YEs he will still take away anything related to your work. Yes he’ll have his brothers guard you and watch movies with you. He’ll join in of course, letting you lean your head on his shoulder as you nap and then usher everyone out.

Yeah Yagen may get sick but it’s not like he can’t take care of himself! He can and will! He’ll multi-task and take care of you and himself at the same time!

All of the soup. He’s going to ask Kasen and Micchan how to cook and make you soup or something or other to munch on while you’re sick. Not really the udon song in Hanamaru but more along the lines of “sus looking but healthy and taste good so it’s edible” and he does make it with you in mind so it’s the thought that counts?

Yagen knows you’ll bounce back easily, it’s just a cold. You’ll only make it worse if you work! GO BACK TO BED. Don’t make him drug you. he won’t he promises

But if anything Yagen trusts you. He wants you to feel better! You are his master and you are important to this citadel. You just have to get better! Yagen will stay by your side until the end for that!

Kashuu Kiyomitsu

Oh this poor young man PANICS when he finds out that you’re sick. Perhaps he’s still thinking of Okita and how he died from his illness, immediately will ask if it’s some kinda disease similar to TB. But when Yagen tells him that it’s just a normal cold or something his panic leaves him but like - dude, he’ll still worry about you.

Assuming you two are together, Kashuu will know your habits by now. He knows that you will try to work while being sick so you wake up to find your room full of nothing but nail polish and beauty products. Where the fuck did your papers go? Back in your office where those damn things belong. You are not leaving your room while you are resting.

If you are bored, expect Kashuu to tell you stories or just do little things with you. Make hair accessories or accessories in general, paint and mess with your nails and hands - give you kisses. Sure you may look like hell from falling in and outta sleep like this but he loves you none the less!

And then you sneak outta your room to go work and Kashuu has to drag you back to bed. Asks the rest of the Shinsengumi to help seal off the door to your office. He’s carrying you as Yams and Nagasone lock the doors and Horikawa is making soup and Kane-san is just....being moral support.

If you keep on insisting that you want to work, Kashuu will only give you the easiest documents to work on, along with the shortest ones. He’s not letting you work for too long, he knows how bad it is to overwork yourself. You bet your ass he’s going to be there right next to you, hovering over your shoulder and taking your papers away when he thinks you have had enough.

Cuddles. Don’t fucking think that just because you’re sick Kashuu won’t cuddle your ass. Yes he’s a little concerned with you sneezing and coughing on him but if it’s for his beloved master (and romantic partner) he’ll do whatever he needs to do to make you happy!

No lippy kisses during sicky days. It’s forehead and cheek kisses or bust.

As you recover you can see the life shine back in his eyes, oh so happy that you’re okay! If anything happened to you, oh man Kashuu would be disTRAUGHT. He’s still going to hover around you though, worried beyond belief.

Most of all, if you’re uber cuddling during your sick times, KAshuu is more than willing to cuddle~!

and then kashuu gets sick and you get to spoil him!!!

[sword-brainrot]

How would Kashuu, Houchou and Tomoegata react to an official who tries to woo the saniwa?

Time Government Official tries to woo Saniwa (GN!Reader)

♡ Kashuu and the Saniwa were at the Time Government HQ to drop off the recent supports for the HRA Invasion research. Normally such paperwork would either be mailed in or an official would come to the citadel to get it themselves.

♡ Due to the gravity of the situation, such documents were required to be delivered to the HQ right away in case it could help make a breakthrough on such an awful event happening.

♡ Kashuu was the sword assigned to be Saniwa's personal bodyguard for this trip... You can never be too safe now a days.

♡ However there was one thing he didn't plan for...

♡ A man with long, curled, black hair that was shaved on the left side and green eyes lit up when he saw Saniwa appear with their paperwork.

♡ "Angel, if you told me you were coming today, I would of dressed up nicer for you." He commented to the Saniwa who looked almost taken aback as Kashuu was.

♡ "Do you know him, aruji?" Kashuu whispered. A ping of anger rushing through his gut as he heard the way he spoke to his master.

♡ "He is just an official I have talked to a few times... We aren't close."

♡ Not close, huh? Meaning that Kashuu didn't have to be nice.

♡ "You really should of dressed up nicer. You came into work looking like that? This isn't time be in your lounge wear... I see stains all over that poor white shirt."

♡ It was now time for him and the Saniwa to look at Kashuu in shock. All the while, a proud smile on Kashuu face. He wasn't sure exactly what it was but the way he talked to his saniwa irked him beyond belief and wanted to make it stop right then and there.

♡ "Since we are in a busy situation, something you clearly don't know about since you are living the good life while aruji puts their life on the line, we will be going. Enjoy the paperwork." He took the folder out of their hands and slide it over to him.

♡ His hand gently grabbed Saniwa's and lead them out. Part of him felt shame for letting such an ugly emotion out in front of someone he held so dear to him... But he couldn't help it. He couldn't just stand there and watch that.

♡ "You still think I'm a pretty sword... Right?" He whispered to them.

♡ "Of course I do. I also know you have emotions Kashuu. I won't leave your side just because of that."

♡ "Better not. I want to be the most loved. So I can't let that guy steal you away from me."

♡ Houchou heard there was a visitor at the door asking for his saniwa. Being the nosy tantou he was, he walked to the front of the citadel and opened the door.

♡ He was greeted by a Time Government Official with rough golden skin, short, straight, blond hair and brown eyes. He held a platycodon bouquet in his hands and a shocked expression when he saw it wasn't the saniwa that opened the door.

♡ "Oh hello. Is (Y/N) coming?"

♡ (Y/N)? (Y/N)!? How dare he use your name so casually like that!

♡ "Why do you need aruji...?" Hanchou asked, as he put a gummy bear into his mouth and sharpened his gaze at the man. He was trying real hard to be intimidating... but he is a little too cute for that.

♡ "I was going to ask them out on a date. These flowers are for them." He grinned. "We never talked before but I wanted to strike up my chance with them."

♡ Hanchou looked behind him to make sure that no one was close before he drew his attention to the stranger in front of him. "Aruji is sick right now..." He lied and gave a sad face. "But I can give those flowers to them for you!"

♡ He thought it over for a few seconds before finally giving in and gave the bouquet to Hanchou. "Please let them know I'm hoping they recover soon and to come to the HQ if they want that date-"

♡ "Uh huh." After getting the flowers, Hanchou closed the door in his face and skipped down the hall to Saniwa's study.

♡ Looking over the flowers to make sure there was no note that could out him about what he had just done.

♡ Before he even got to their room, Saniwa was making their way down the hall to go to the front door.

♡ "Aruji!! Aruji!!!" Hanchou cheerfully squealed as he ran up to them, holding the large bouquet out to them. "I got this for you!! Do you like them?"

♡ You couldn't help but blink for a few seconds before leaning down and admiring the beautiful flowers. "These are lovely, Hanchou. How did you get them?" They asked as they took the flowers and hugged the small tantou.

♡ He quickly returned the hug. "I saved up my allowance to get you a gift!" Hanchou smirked into their shoulder as the saniwa thanked him. No one needed to know Hanchou little secret.

♡ A time government official made her way into the citadel to discuss something important with the Saniwa. Tomoegata was currently the assigned attendant to the saniwa, so it was his job to guide any guests to the meeting room and make sure saniwa knew of the unexpected guest.

♡ When Tomoegata arrived to his saniwa's office to tell them of the news, the saniwa was flustered over the sudden visit. Clearly not told beforehand at all. He told them that they would meet them in the meeting room after he made tea for everyone.

♡ The tray was set with three cups and a pot full of chamomile.

♡ "Please excuse me." He called out as he opened the door and pulled in the tea cart. Only to witness the girl with short, wavy, black hair and brown eyes be drawn very close to his saniwa and touching their arm.

♡ The Saniwa looked very uncomfortable. Tomoegata's mouth was left agape from the scene before him as he walked over to the table and put the two cups very far apart.

♡ "I will ask you to unhand my master since they clearly are uncomfortable by your advances, miss." His tall form stood over her and casted a shadow over her.

♡ It looked as if she was debating it before slowly moving away and to the seat with her cup.

♡ Tomoegata gave a look to ask if his master was truly okay... only receiving a shaky nod in return. He decided that tea, in the end, was not needed for the discussion.

♡ "It seems my aruji is not feeling well today. What is it that you came here for that was so important you didn't give notice?" He asked. His voice firm and strict. Something normally Tomoegata didn't do since he knew the people around him were more experienced and he had much to learn.

♡ "Ah... Did I really need a reason to come see their cute face?"

♡ "Yes. As aruji's face is not there for your pleasure. If you have nothing to discuss, please follow me to the exit. Now."

♡ His brows furrowed as he gestured to the doorway, away from his saniwa. You could see the wheels in her head turning as if trying to figure a reason to stay and flirt more with her crush. Clearly not being a fan of this Naginata... She decided it was best to retreat for now.

♡ Before Tomoegata left to show her the way, he poured his master a cup of tea. "Please take all the time you need, aruji. I will return quickly to heed any call you may give."

♡ His sharp gaze returned once more when his eyes landed on her and walked in front to lead her away from the one he held dear. He would never admit it to anyone... But that was the first time Tomoegata felt true anger. He didn't realized it until the moon rose in the sky and he talked to Kokindenjunotachi about what occurred in the afternoon.

♡ He learned from his soothing words that those emotions were rather normal and sometimes were called jealousy. A part of him was scared that he could hold just burning emotions inside him that clouded his mind... but the other side made him feel like he could float on a cloud from understanding another part of being human and could connect closer to his Saniwa.

[swordboiis]

Hi, I'd like to request how Kashuu, Hasebe, Shinano, and Sayo react to the saniwa adopting a cute puppy and her spending a lot of her attention on it. Do they get jealous? And if they do get over the initial jealousy, how do they interact with the puppy?

Kashuu• Of course he’s jealous! How’s he supposed to be cuter and more loved than a puppy?• He’d be very sulky about the topic and would refuse to have anything to do with the puppy.

Hasebe• He’s not really jealous since it’s just an animal. • He would however often scold you on how much attention you give it, reminding you your duties must be your first priorities.

Shinano• Gets seriously jealous. Competing with his siblings for your attention is already problem enough. • He doesn’t blame the puppy, in fact his plan for revenge would be trying to win over the puppy so you can see how it feels. His plan does not work.

Sayo• Also not jealous, he really likes the puppy in fact. He’s usually too shy to interact with it himself and liked to watch you play with it and give it affection. • He only agrees to come over and pat it when its sleeping.

[jardimdeglicinias]

“Favorite? Why would I have a favorite? All of them are equally important for the history, with this in mind, of course they are equally important for me.”

Sayuri doesn’t like to admit, but she in fact have favorites. Long post!

Remember that as a child she liked the concept of wielding naginata? This is now a special matter. I dare to say that her favorite is Tomoegata Naginata due to his calm nature and disposition to be by the saniwa’s side. She kinda pities him to the fact that he has no memories at all, so she tires her best to be a good master for him. But that isn’t so obvious, since she tries to maintain the figure of a general.

Sayuri has a tendency to be more drawn to quiet swords and the ones who she can count on when it comes to administration, however there are some notable exceptions. So, I’ll be listing her favorites and the reasons behind for each type:

Tantou: Atsushi Toushirou, Hakata Toushirou and Yagen Toushirou. Sayuri is in a constant state of grief and also trying to maintain the figure of someone strong, so I can say that she spends more time with him in comparison to the other two, since Atsushi shows to be very encouraging towards to the saniwa. Yagen would be the one who Sayuri relies when facing difficult decisions, she is also guilty of encouraging Yagen in his interests too much as a rewards for aiding her. Hakata is the one she seeks when she needs help administrating the resources, because she has no self control: she will either pile the resources to the point they will be on the maximum limit or she will dry the citadel. Things were more unstable before Hakata was summoned, indeed.

Wakizashi: She tried to get along to Honebami, however she is a bit afraid of being too pushy (who wants to be pushy to someone called Bone Feaster?!) and backed away. Horikawa Kunihiro is the one who Sayuri relies the most when it comes to her notes and also is the one who she is not afraid to ask important questions, even knowing that he may not have an answer. Horikawa’s gentle disposal easily made her see him as an older brother figure.

Uchiganata: Hachisuka Kotetsu was a acquired taste, since he was her grandfather’s starter. Hachisuka, besides being a bit of too much self-centered for Sayuri’s taste, seems to be more caring to the saniwa (except during internal affairs) than the other starters. And let’s be honest: Sayuri is in a constant state of needing a bit of care, she just doesn’t tell or show. Nankaitarou Chouson is a scholar, so Sayuri had an almost instant-favoritism towards him, so it’s no surprise to see her looking after him, specially after his knowledge. The only factor that doesn’t make Nankaitarou Sayuri’s favorite is that Tomoegata seems to be a bit more reliable. Izuminokami Kanesada was also a acquired taste, his sensible side, competence, self-confidence are the two factors that made Sayuri comfortable around him, however his self-confidence also makes Sayuri a bit uncomfortable. Sayuri doesn’t like to admit, but she thinks that if she had at least a half of his self-confidence, she would be able to overcome her fear of failure. Kashuu Kiyomitsu won his place by giving the attention that Sayuri needs, in return she makes sure that he isn’t feeling left aside, however she doesn’t actively seeks him out mostly because of his lovely nature, and, trust me, she has no intention in getting attached to a tsukumogami. Nagasone Kotetsu gradually grew on her due to his competence, nowadays she tries to mirror his actions on the rare occasions she needs to show authority, yet keeping a welcoming nature. Ookurikara and Kasen Kanesada were also acquired tastes. Ookurikara’s unwillingness to be cooperative worries Sayuri to the point it can cause a critical failure, so her worries slowly died down and she eventually started to accept his choices, his independence being the thing she likes the most about him. Kasen, on the other hand, had a calmer path to Sayuri’s liking: as I mentioned in her liking for Nankaitarou’s knowledge on swords, she also has a liking for Kasen’s knowledge in poetry. However it took time, since some poetry pieces are hard to read and have multiple interpretations, and abstract concepts aren’t Sayuri’s forte.

Tachi: Kousetsu Samonji ranks the third place in the podium of Sayuri’s favorites. Kousetsu was the first one who made her question herself if she was doing the right thing all along, if the war was really necessary. Let’s say he gave Sayuri a hard time in their first moments, however his almost unnoticeable enjoyment in doing pacific chores always makes her happy. The world sure is full of suffering, but being able to appreciate it’s beauty is a true grace, by trying to learn his way of thinking, the weight of the grief for losing her grandfather seemed to be lighter. Kogarasumaru is... Complicated. It started as the complete opposite due to him being quite strict, even for Sayuri’s standards, but Kogarasumaru has a kind of wisdom that Sayuri knew that she could only learn by not having this disliking for him. Trust me, it took years for her to slowly adapt her lifestyle and eventually see Kogarasumaru as a confident. It’s rare to her seek for him, however if it needs the voice of experience, he is the one she will go after.

Oodachi: And the exception! Jiroutachi besides being the extreme opposite of the swords that Sayuri tends to be drawn to and the strong smell of sake, his merry behavior is something that she wasn’t expecting, he also seems to be very honest about what he wants and oh boy, she kinda envies him for this capacity. Also, I’m sure that he was the first one to offer sake to her and... We know, Sayuri is a violent drunk who simply wants to pick fights to let her stress out, that’s one of the reasons she doesn’t even think about drinking. Yet, if it’s with Jiroutachi, she doesn’t mind in getting drunk, because for some reason she can’t become upset when he is around. Maybe it’s contagious, his merriness. Her liking for Taroutachi mainly comes from Jiroutachi, however Taroutachi isn’t one of her favorites.

Yari: Otegine in Sayuri’s point of view is like a bud that hasn’t blossomed yet, his hesitation and comparison to the other two great spears always gets her straight into the heart because of a small resemblance to her own situation: comparing herself to her grandfather as a saniwa. You can imagine how many times she said “you can only say that you are only good at stabbing after you get used to do other things” and it’s variations internally: way too many. She hopes that one day he will bloom, the same she hopes for herself. She is quite impressed by his Kiwame and, for sure, she is going to attend his wish to be the best spear!

As for my OCs:

Ebina is a nuisance when he tries to challenge her mentally, however she doesn’t mind when he just asks her to play games. Not exactly a favorite, but the one who spends more time with her out of the tantous.

Raikirimaru and Hoshizukiyo Masamune ties as her favorites wakizashis: Raikirimaru was supportive towards her during her childhood, so she really sees him as a fatherly figure. Hoshizukiyo actively tries to make a bond of trust with the saniwa, so Sayuri seeing this disposition coming from him was enough to see him as a possible favorite.

Hosokawa Tadamasa is another exception, however this uchigatana is easily excited about new things and this excitement is something that never fails to amuse Sayuri.

Among the tachi, she tried to get on the good side of Yamatorige and failed miserably, but she got the attention of Kiku Ichimonji Norimune, who can be balanced about hard decisions and even to do on the daily routine. Kiku also has a soft spot for animals, specially dogs, Sayuri nowadays knows way too much dog facts thanks to him.

For the blunt weapons: she relies on Sensaifumetsu for helping her with the paperwork. She thought at first that Sensaifumetsu was going to be a kind of weapon that only thinks about fighting, fighting, fighting and sleeping, but she was quite surprised that how good Sensaifumetsu is with office job. Since this discovering, Sensaifumetsu became a permanent report-reviewer.

"Mitsumete Kureru Nara" from the “Musical Touken Ranbu ~Kashuu Kiyomitsu Tanki Shutsujin 2017~″ (Toumyu) just kills me.

From the lyrics alone, you can imagine it. You, as a former saniwa, who, for whatever reason, no longer remembers your life as a saniwa or your Touken Danshi.

One day, you're walking on the streets in modern day Japan, and then, somewhere, in the bus or on the train, over the counter or just when you're reaching for the same thing on the shelf, your fingers brush against someone.

A young man.

You don't know him, he's a complete stranger. But when your eyes meet, you can see the recognition flood his eyes.

He knows you.

It feels like that fateful meeting triggers something new; time and time again, you cross paths with this young man.

And, every single time, he looks as lost and confused as you are, but he also always seems happy to see you.

Eventually, you give in, and during one of those meetings, you decide to introduce yourself.  

"Hi, my name is [NAME]. What's yours?"

Maybe to people he knows, people who he is familiar with and not some random stranger he keeps meeting at various places, maybe he goes by a different name (because surely, he can't be serious about sharing the same name as the sword owned by the legendary Shinsengumi captain Okita Souji), but the one that he gives you is one that is a name that feels foreign yet familiar on your lips.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu.

Something compels you to offer him your hand. His gaze falls on your outstretched hand before he turns back to you. There is a look in his eyes, hesitant but hopeful, as he gingerly takes your hand in his.

When he holds your hand in his grasp, when he holds you, it's gentle, but also painfully tight; like he can't bear to lose you.

You've only just met - you've been meeting for a while now, but you've really only just met - and it's as if he knows that if you walked away, if he doesn't hold on tight enough, if he lets you walk away, the two of you will never meet again.

'Ever since we met, ever since I've found you, I can't return to the person I was, the person who didn't know you.'

His crimson eyes are genuine, serious, desperate, engraved with a deep longing that makes your heart ache.

'I don't care if you don't know me, but promise me that you'll seek for me.'

You don't know him, this young man, Kashuu Kiyomitsu.

'What we shared in the past doesn't matter, but we keep meeting like this, and I don't know why.'

But, maybe, you want to.

'I don't care if you don't know me, but we keep meeting like this, so please, if you could, please, just fix your eyes on me.'

Just maybe, he's not the only one who wants this, this new connection that seems to tether the both of you to each other, binding you to each other.

And maybe, just maybe, just as he doesn't want you to look away from him.

You don't want to lose sight of him too.

This young man.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu.
