<< you been getting enough relaxation lately?"

"Heh, how considerate of you." He said with a grin, looking at the woman briefly. God, looking at her was like staring at the ocean. She truly was a beautiful woman. The two walked quite close together, but of course leaving enough space to not stumble over each other. "Have >>

@Enchanting_Emi Nothing, just. . .I never thought someone would say something like that to me.

@RagingWhirlwind What? What’s wrong?

. . .

@Enchanting_Emi Emi. . .I think about you constantly. No matter what's going on you're always on my mind. Losing Kanae hurt enough to make me put up these walls, don't you dare leave me alone in this world too. [Finally he shed tears, happy tears as he gave her a genuine smile.]

@RagingWhirlwind *when the kiss breaks she speaks to him softly* Sanemi. You were never hard to love. You just weren’t loved by the right people. You are everything to me.

:(

@Enchanting_Emi << to make up for his lack of words.

@Enchanting_Emi [His gaze softens slightly, a hand raising to gently cup her cheek] And here I was thinking I was impossible to love. . . [With that he's slowly leaning down, pressing his lips against hers. The way he kissed her was meant to show her that he felt the same, using his actions >>

@Enchanting_Emi N-No, it's not that. It's just. . . [He pauses for a moment, thinking to himself if this means what he thinks.] Does that mean you. . .love me?

@RagingWhirlwind Hm? *she blinks up at him in confusion* My love? A pet name to call you? Do you not like it?

@Enchanting_Emi [Eyes widen upon hearing that nickname she called him. Her love? Did. . .did that mean what he thinks? He pulls his head back just enough to gaze down at her in wonder.] What. . .did you just call me?

@RagingWhirlwind Because you make it worthwhile, my love. You are nothing like the rest. You make me feel safe and secure. You struggle to let people in like I do. You deserve something good, and if I can be that something good sometimes I’m more than happy to. We are the same.

@Enchanting_Emi [He tries to keep his composure, not wanting to break down fully in front of her.] But. . .why me, Emi? What makes me so special that you want to deal with my challenges?

@RagingWhirlwind *Her hand finds his hair effortlessly. Threading through in an effortless manner* I say it cause it’s true. Something being easy doesn’t make it worthwhile. You’re not easy. You’re a challenge. You’re a problem. But you’re mine. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

@Enchanting_Emi << walls]

@Enchanting_Emi [Eyes widen slightly at her words, not expecting her to say anything like that. He held her closer, face burying in her neck to hide the tears threatening to leak.] Dammit. . .why do you gotta say stuff like that. . . [Even drunk, Emi is still successful at breaking down his >>

@Enchanting_Emi I know, and it's not fair to you. I know I'm not an easy man to be with, but. . .I'm grateful you choose to stay despite everything Em.

@RagingWhirlwind I want you to be too. It’s lonely without you here. *she says wrapping her arms around his neck automatically as he picks her up* It really sucks when you’re gone for long periods of time and I’m stuck here by myself

@Enchanting_Emi << boyfriend you deserve, Emi.

@Enchanting_Emi Yeah. Honestly, the only time I'm really happy is when I'm with you. I want more of that. I can't promise I'll be around all the time, but if things play out right I can be here with you more than I have been. [He lifts her up, holding her in a bridal carry] I wanna be the >>

@Enchanting_Emi I- [Good job Emi, you got him blushing. She's so sweet. . .] Yeah well, soon I'll be able to make more time for you finally. You have no idea how much I'd rather just be with you all day.

@RagingWhirlwind You are here now!! And I’m so glad that you are. You train so much and go on missions all the time. You are really an exemplary Hashira 🩷🩷

@Enchanting_Emi I missed you too, babe. I hate that I missed a lot of you having fun, I was just worn out after training yesterday so I went to bed early. But I'm here now.

@RagingWhirlwind Yes. I miss you :(

@Enchanting_Emi You're sad because you're drunk?

@RagingWhirlwind Drunk

Walking up behind @Enchanting_Emi without a word, he can already read the kind of mood she's in. he doesn't speak, doesn't try to come in and fix whatever's bothering her. he simply wraps his arms around her and comforts her in silence.
