AH WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ID: the flame hashira rengoku is filling my notifications with likes on all my posts. he gave me like 11 notifications in one second. why. end ID.]

[Great news, Obanai! You've just received one (1) cool mask with flames on it. And even better news, Kaburamaru also has a.... crocheted tube? with flames? to go with it. It's stitched very nicely, at least? Clearly a lot of work went into this... embarrassment.]

[What do you even say. Like. Holy shit? Everything Rengoku has done to and with him has been baffling since day one - in the nicest way possible, mind. He's reliable, earnest, his father saved Obanai - plenty of positive things.

Flames, though...what message is Rengoku trying to send here?

He looks at them, confused - though it looks similar to his annoyed expression - then looks up to Rengoku.] Did you assemble these yourself? I can't see myself wearing this mask since they clash so much with my other clothes - you already have a flame motif, so it'd be a little redundant to me...

Not that I'm not thankful. If these bandages ever rip, I'll have something as a backup.

💭 FUCK ME UP]]

where to start...?

i don’t know what i would have done without kyojuro, honestly... when i first decided to join the demon slayers, it was because i thought i would find a better place to fit in. a place where i hoped i could be me. and... the fact that i found someone who wasn’t afraid of my strength, and even encouraged me about it, so quickly... i’m so, so grateful for him. he was such a good teacher. he pushed me really, really hard, but he knew that life as a demon slayer wouldn’t be easy, and he wanted to prepare me, and... even though it was hard, those days were some of the happiest of my life. i could finally be myself. i didn’t have to hold back! i messed up a lot, but he was always so encouraging!!

he’s such a good man. truly, deeply... i feel so comfortable around him. when i heard what happened on the train i was so scared, and i couldn’t stop crying, and i realized that these lives and these people we have are so precious and so fragile even when they seem SO strong. i care for him so much!! i’m... really glad i got to tell him how i felt, and that we’re getting to spend this time together. it makes me so happy, even if it won’t last forever...

i feel like i can talk about anything with him. and that i don’t have to hide who i really am. he’ll never call me stupid or think i’m too loud, or think i eat too much. he compliments me so much for little things, and he thinks i’m brilliant, and no one has ever called me those things before. he really does mean the world to me... i don’t know what i’d do if i lost him. i need to focus on getting stronger, and being more useful, and stop holding myself back so much, because even someone as strong as kyojuro...

if this strength of mine isn’t good for protecting the people i love so, so much, then it isn’t good for anything!!!! he was the one who taught me so much, the one who believed in me before anyone else, and one of the people i love most in this world. i’ll definitely keep him safe.

oh, kyojuro. to think that you were one of the first of our number to directly combat an upper moon. it bodes well that you lived, but at such a great cost...

i know how much he strives to protect others. to put others above himself, believing that his strength must mean he be the one to sacrifice everything for those who cannot. selfishly, i wish it were not so. although he has always been an invaluable addition to our number, even from the moment that he joined the hashira... my opinion is different, now.

there is so much we have to live for. that he has to live for. if i am forced to allow another person so dear to me to slip through my fingers, be it through my own inability or my own circumstances, i don't know if i'll be able to handle it. i tell him that he is more than capable of regaining his seat because it is what a good partner and a dedicated demon slayer would do, but part of me wishes to tell him to do anything but. to retire. to spend his days with his brother, in my home, instead of breaking his own back trying to claw his way back up to his former position.

i would sooner die myself than put him in the position he was in against the third upper moon again. perhaps it is selfish. it certainly isn't what he wants. but if no one stops him, then he will do it endlessly. as is our lot.

i love him very much. i refuse to lose him.
