Aaaaah! I just realized in my ask I didn't specify the saniwa's gender. I asked for kasen, kashuu, and taroutachi being given presents and they realize the saniwa likes them. Can the saniwa be male?
[Continuation]: I can’t view the rules on mobile so just ignore this if it breaks the rules plz. I was wondering if you could do kashuu, kasen, and taroutachi receiving gifts from their master and realizing they’re giving them gifts because their master likes them.
Hi there my dear. I apologize for not being able to get to your request! I feel so bad! T.T. Please forgive me! I have been working on this request for quite a long time and it ended up being so long! I hope it’s to your taste.
I also further apologize if there’s any grammatical errors (It’s currently quarter to 1 AM here and I just finished studying for a test.)
Anyway, please enjoy!
Everything under the cut (as always~!)
-Mod Catharia.
KASHUU
“I’m sorry but I can’t see you right now, Kashuu.”
“Oh…” (╯_╰)
You don’t fail to catch the disappointment on the Uchigatana’s face and it kills you
“Ah, I see. When can I come visit you, Aruji?”
“I’m not sure if when I have any vacancies, Kashuu. You may need to ask either Hasebe, Kotegiri or Tomoe.”
You’re cruel …You rejecting Kashuu Kiyomitsu is equal to kicking a puppy
“…Alright.”
Kashuu literally looks like a kicked puppy, shame on you Saniwa
Do you not have a conscience?
He’s your starting sword and you treat him like this
You’re too cruel…
I’M SORRY KASHUU! I DIDN’T MEAN IT! /PLEASE STAY AND KEEP ME COMPANY!
You were so tempted to bang your head against the wall and just throw yourself into the brunette’s arms
But you had to keep your composure and act like a respectable Sage
Yeah right, half the time you’re missing from the office and raiding the pantries for food or napping in the storage house at the back.
You just give Kashuu a weak smile and pat his hand comfortingly
“How about when you come back from sortie, I’ll treat you…”
“Will you really, Aruji?”
“Yup.”
The brunette finally relents and gives you a smile before bowing
“Alright, I’ll be heading out now, Aruji.”
“Take care!”（＾○＾）／
Once the Uchigatana leaves the premises of the citadel you quickly put your plan into motion
You enlist the help Izuminokami, Horikawa, Shokudaikiri, Hasebe and Tomogata
You convinced the last two to help you after pleading and using those puppy dog eyes
Sneaky (¬‿¬)
When Kashuu finally returns from the sortie, he is immediately ushered to the repair room and was provided with a special talisman to hasten the process
After being ushered to the baths and getting dressed, He immediately goes into your office but you weren’t there
Cue the disappointed pout and sigh from Kashuu
He was about to leave but he notices a basket and a small sign with his name on it
Come to the kitchen, something delicious is waiting for you there… -A
The Uchigatana walks to the kitchen and sees a delicious-looking slice of strawberry shortcake with another note.
You must be hungry, Please enjoy this treat and once you finish please come to the library…-A
It was to celebrate his first year as the first sword of the citadel
To thank him for his service underneath you
And well…
“What is it Aruji?” He looks at you a bit confused
Your rub the back of your head while you flush a bit
“...Well...I wanted to tell you that-that I like you...”
...
“I-I like you too Aruji.”
Neither of you speak but your faces looked like it was going to combust anytime
*Silently roots for you two* (〃艸〃)
OHMAIGOD YOU TWO ARE SO CUTE (〃ﾉωﾉ)
KASEN
He was intimidating at first but then you warmed up to him
You two briefly spend time together mostly having tea, caring for the flowers in the garden or helping in the kitchens
The first time that you felt something was when you caught sight of him sitting in his room, concentrating on his own work
You definitely knew that Kasen Kanesada was a man versed in the arts so what way to learn about tea ceremonies and literature than asking him
You had a genuine curiosity and wanted to learn about it
So eventually you would pass by once in awhile to learn about literature and became much better at brewing tea
Soon, you decide to write him a poem as a way to convey your growing feelings
...But how?!
Asking for help is definitely out of the window because the last time it was a disaster:
You had asked Uguisumaru, Tonbokiri and Kotegiri who would actually help you in writing a poem
…But somehow a few more people had heard about you writing your little poem
Yagen told you that both Tsurumaru and Mikazuki surprise, surprise had heard from Uguisumaru and is now asking everyone to help their beloved master write a love letter.
Since when did a poem become a full blown love letter!? (⊙︿⊙)!?!
You stared at the two suspects down who try to look like they had no idea what was happeninng
I swear to God that the two looked so smug, knowing smiles underneath those sleeves
Everyone decided to contribute in their own way by writing their own sample letters
You were so flabbergasted when even Kasen even handed his own version
A personal endeavor would be much safer
Within a few days, you finally finish your haiku and wrote it down on a piece of paper
You invite the Citadel’s resident poet to your room, showing him your latest arrangement of flowers
“ It was quite difficult to make.”
“It looks wonderful, Aruji. The Peach Blossoms work well with Carnations and Baby’s Breath...”
You smile proudly over your work until Kasen spoke up once more
“Ah, how about this week’s haiku Aruji? Would you like to read it out loud?”
You feel yourself break a sweat and a nervous smile on your face
It’s now or never, honey...Do it...
“Actually, how about you read it...I made it with you in mind...”
“Me?” The purple-haired Uchigatana raised a brow but held his hand out looking quite excited.
He quietly reads the paper and you tug at the sleeves of your hakama nervously
In a few moments his usually calm face turned a bit pink...
...And you immediately averted your face to the side to hide your own blush before speaking
“Er...Kasen-”
“A moment, Aruji.” he interrupts you
In the corner of your eye, You suddenly see Kasen reach for a piece of paper and write on it
Eventually, he pushes the paper towards you and he silently urges you to look at it
It read as follows...
At the perfect timeI love you my darlingAmorous spirit
D-darling!? Σ (O///.O///)
hE JUst CALled YoU daRLInG!?!!
You almost pass out because it was such a blatant declaration from the usually conservative warrior
You stare back at Kasen who was hiding half his face with his sleeve, looking quite flustered.
“U-um…Kasen…I-Is this…”
“W-well…It’s my response, Aruji…” He finally looks at you in the eye
“…I-I have grown rather found of you as well, Aruji…I like you.”
You may have passed out shortly after due to being overheated from the sudden confession and guess who came to keep you company…
…You guessed right, Darling–Kasen did…
TAROTACHI
The first time that you met the Oodatchi was when your main party returned from sortie and they brought him and his brother, Jirotachi, home
You greeted them with a welcoming smile and Jiro literally picked you up in a tight hug while Taro merely nodded in your direction as a sign of acknowledgement
“I heard so much about you, Aruji! You’re so tiny!”
“I-I am…?”
If you stand beside them, you actually look like a midget…LOL (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖
“Brother please, put him down.” Taroutachi would scold his brother
“Awee, you’re no fun!”
From that day on you got along quite well with the two brothers and once in a while you would help them with some chores around the Citadel
One night, after having dinner, you decide to make one last round to sure everyone was settling in comfortably for the night
You pass by Jirotachi and Tarotachi’s room to bid them a goodnight
…But you are greeted by Jirotachi alongside the three Yaris– Nihongou, Tonbokiri and Otegine– who were quite drunk
I’m not surprised…Jiro has his way with convincing people….and some sake doesn’t sound so bad either…
You call a few others to help you move the Yaris back into their room while you usher Jiro into his futon
Sadly, the said Oodatchi didn’t seem to want you to leave but instead clung your arm.
“Zzzz…”
“Jiro-san…Jiro-san…please let go…” (-_-)ゞ゛
The large man just clung unto your arm and you just sat there quietly until Taroutachi entered the room
He just took one look at you and his brother drunkenly clinging to your arm before walking over and taking the limb off of you
“I apologize for my brother’s behavior, Saniwa-sama.”
“It’s alright, Tarou-san. I just want to make sure your brother was alright.”
You were suddenly surprised when you heard a small chuckle from the taller man beside you
Thump…Thump…Thump…
“I appreciate you watching over my brother, Aruji.”
What’s this…?
“Thank you…”
The smile from this handsome man was going to kill you one day…if not tonight…
“You’re very welcome.” You quickly get up, letting the Oodatchi get ready for bed, feeling your cheeks flaming
When you were about to be leave, you when you notice that Taroutachi’s futon looked a little to small
LOL can you imagine this guy’s feet sticking out??
That’s probably going to be a problem when the could season comes
You make a mental note on the bedding and make your own way to your room
You continue to have these odd feelings surfacing whenever Taroutachi was around
You looked at various symptoms you were experiencing…
You’re sick…love sick…huheuhe ෆු(*˃ர்˂*)ෆු
You basically thought you were going to have a heart attack
You debate whether to go see a doctor…or Yagen at least
The purple-haired Tantou claimed that you were perfectly healthy and told you to just take it easy
You follow his instruction because Yagen can be scary sometimes
Once you returned to your study, you were greeted by a package and you perked up–it was the item you ordered
You decide to carry the package to it’s destination, excited to give it to the person it was intended for
On the way to the Oodatchi’s room, you bump into someone while carrying the package but thankfully the person caught your arm before toppling back
“Are you alright, Saniwa-sama?” came the familiar voice.
“Y-Yes…”
You feel the package being taken from your hands and Taroutachi’s visage greets you
“Where do you need this, Aruji?”
“Umm..It’s actually for you…” You smile sheepishly
“For me?” You nod in response
When you two reach his shared bedroom, you allow him to unpack it’s contents and he looked quite happy
You bought him a brand new futon which was much larger than the one he currently was using
“Thank you, Aruji…You didn’t have to buy this for me.”
Again that handsome smile has surfaced once more and it made you flush a bit
God, You can look at him all day…Wait, get a hold of yourself! (o.o)!!!
“Please, it’s a gift…you deserve it for working so hard.”
“You have my thanks, Master.”
You don’t have to say you liked him…You were pretty sure he knew well enough
A few days passed and you could feel the stares of a few people which unnerved you a bit:
…Hasebe came in the office with slightly red eyes…was he crying??
…The Tantous kept passing by, looking expectantly at you…Huh?
…Even Yamanbagiri was slightly pouting…What is wrong??
The Shoji doors situated behind you slammed open catching you off guard
“WHERE’S MY FUTON AS WELL, ARUJI!? YOU GIVE ONE TO TAROUTACHI BUT NOT ME!? HOW UNFAIR!!” ( ≧Д≦)
