she was hesitant around him , it’s been going on since this morning . he normally wasn’t one to worry when it came to others but she wasn’t like the others . mimi genuinely cared for him . ever since they were young , ever since he could remember , she was there beside him when the rest of their village outcasted him , spoke of him as if he was nothing more than a demon child , deemed too dangerous to live among them . it was solely because of them that he sought refuge in the forest , only descending back into town to have casual hangouts with mimi . he felt she will always be there when no one else will , & it’s why he felt a strong sense of worry overcome him . he couldn’t take it anymore , he needed answers . ❝ what’s wrong , mimi ? you’ve been brushing me off all day . did i do something ? ❞
heartfelt starter for my bestfriend / @spacedbreath xoxo

@spacedbreath // pain pillar starter ★
RARE MORNING, COMPLETE SERENITY. signs of life, signs of normalcy. as if the world was absent from demons. a reality the pillars were striving for. what they gave their lives for. to acquire peace and tranquility, to carry on without a care in the world. when the biggest worry would be to make it home on time, to concoct a delicious meal. a world void of fear. the fear: being mauled and devoured by demons. a fear he didn’t possess. pent-up, bottled anger; he did though, towards those atrocities.
the songs of the cicadas, the birds, nearly lulled him. always alert, always careful, an amber gaze swept over a passing pillar. for two pillars to be in one place-- coincidence; unlikely. there were a reasonable number of possibilities: a gathering, a training session, or for the rare occasion, simply for company. feitan had yet to acquaint himself with the rest of the pillars. standoffish and reserved with piercing eyes, most found him not so approachable.
two pillars, unacquainted, rare occasion; purely coincidence.
"strange, isn’t it?” the eerie calm of his voice carried, almost like a whisper yet enough to be heard. “how peaceful it is, i mean. like a dream on that can become a nightmare at any moment.”
* @spacedbreath asked ⇢ [ fix ] • giyuu
[ fix ] for your muse to treat mine’s injury
as the space pillar tends to the deeper wounds crisscrossing his abdomen, giyuu remains perfectly still, in keeping with michae’s stern, thinly veiled orders. for all he’d attempted to assure her that he didn’t need help — that he could bear the pain until they’re able to seek out proper treatment — michae had fiercely insisted upon seeing to his injuries before they headed for the nearest wisteria house.
despite the callouses etched into her hands, michae’s touch is gentle as she mops up the blood staining his side, pressing a fresh piece of gauze to the wound and meticulously wrapping a roll of bandages around it. she works silently and diligently, focused entirely on the task at hand, leaving giyuu’s mind to wander as he waits for her to finish, his posture rigid.
after completing countless missions on his own, giyuu has gotten used to attending to his own injuries without the need for assistance, only ever returning to the butterfly estate or retiring to a nearby wisteria house when presented with no other alternative. his self - imposed isolation from his fellow pillars has always suited him just fine. he doesn’t truly deserve a place amongst their prestigious ranks and he has no intention of wasting their time pretending otherwise, but no matter the distance he attempts to expand between them, michae is there at every turn, crossing the yawning expanse in a single, unfazed leap.
it’s . . . odd, he thinks as his gaze falls to the rotting, once brightly coloured leaves strewn across the ground at their feet, his breath forming a fine mist in the autumn air before his face. he still doesn’t quite know how to react to her continued acknowledgement of him. he wonders if he ever will.
michae’s hands suddenly withdraw, rousing giyuu from beneath the fog of his thoughts. he blinks, glancing down at his freshly bandaged abdomen and bicep, testing his arm for movement. the pain radiating from his wounds has dulled somewhat, making it manageable for now. in the very least, he’s no longer bleeding, thanks to michae’s hard work and his own mastery over his breathing techniques.
❝ . . . thank you. ❞ a rare, hushed expression of gratitude passes his lips, directed towards the ground. giyuu dips his head in an appreciative nod as he shrugs his uniform over his bare shoulders, silently relishing in the warmth that promptly envelops his goosebump - covered skin.

@spacedbreath asked :
as her arms wrapped around the boy that was clearly taller & more solid than she was, michae knew she was taking a risk. what with him being known for not being socially friendly. but it was a risk the pillar was willing to take. everyone deserved some sort of fondness & praise. " you've done well, genya. " the words were spoken softly as she held onto the younger tightly.
a choked noise escapes him , his entire body stiffening at both the contact and the praise combined. genya never truly expects it , the kindness of others , a soft touch of encouragement. his heart is racing and a flush of embarrassment colors his face a bright red. it’s nearly comical / the over the top way he reacts. or doesn’t. he doesn’t move an inch , not to raise his arms in reciprocation or even to pull himself away. ( but it is nice , it is comforting , so warm. he finds that he has missed it , the feeling of something as simple as a hug. )
❝ you ---------- you can let go now. ❞ please , please let go. he’s going to die of embarrassment any moment now.
* @spacedbreath asked ⇢ “ You have blood on your face. ” • kyojuro
kyojuro brushes calloused digits against his cheek, owlish eyes blinking in surprise when they come away reddened. he wonders, absently, how much of it is his own — it’s hard to tell the extent of his injuries when the blood within his veins still sings with adrenaline, his heart pounding from the thrill of the fight.
❝ it would seem that you’re right, michae!! ❞ the flame hashira admits with a loud guffaw, ❝ but no matter! injuries are simply a reminder of the potential we still hold within and will surely inspire us to achieve even greater things!! ❞ unfazed, kyojuro wipes his hand against his pants, his head tilting imperceptibly as he gazes searchingly across at his companion. after such an unexpectedly arduous fight, he can only imagine she must be craving rest as badly as he is ( even if they’re in no hurry to admit to it ), but even he is aware that it would be a fool’s errand to attempt to return to headquarters without seeing to themselves first.
kyojuro folds his arms across his chest and heartily declares, ❝ now then!! i believe there’s a house bearing the wisteria crest nearby where we might find refuge for what remains of the night! it would be wise to have our injuries tended to before continuing any further — wouldn’t you agree? ❞

* @spacedbreath asked ⇢ “ Don’t move, you’re losing blood! ” • sabito
❝ that means nothing to me while the enemy still lives. ❞ sabito mutters sharply from behind his mask, bloodied fingers pressing firmly against the jagged wound that cut deep enough to carve through the sinew of his bicep. the pain hasn’t hit him yet, his veins buzzing with leftover adrenaline. so long as he can hold his sword, he can still fight.
he can see them in his mind’s eye ; the mangled, half - eaten corpses of children tossed into an uncaring pile, features frozen in pain and fear. there had been no quick death for them. he’s sure that they suffered, that they begged for help that never came. the thought alone is enough to whip his simmering fury into a burning, all - encompassing frenzy. he doesn’t have the right to complain — even if he’s losing consciousness, even if he’s on the verge of death itself — not while the monster that brutally slaughtered so many innocent children still roams free. he’ll surpass his measly human limits and bring peace to their restless souls, no matter the outcome.
sabito reaches down to grab a fistful of his haori, pulling it taut and tearing an uneven strip from the hem. he wraps the strip of fabric roughly around his wounded bicep, fixing it in place with a tight knot. he knows better than to foolishly hope that his breathing techniques can stem the bleeding from an injury this deep, so the makeshift bandage will have to do, at least for now. inhaling deeply, he draws himself up tall and grits his teeth against an alarming wave of pain as he reaches for the hilt of his katana, yanking the blade from its temporary, earthen sheath. with finality, sabito says, ❝ until that oni pays for the lives it stole with its head, i won’t rest. ❞
