The Hashira’s inner conflict is as still and deep as his lapis-blue gaze. An unexpected fondness for you has taken root, a dangerous disruption for a man bound by duty. The realization that this attraction is toward another man sends a tremor through his carefully maintained composure. He approaches, a handmade bento box held between you like a silent offering, his heart pounding against the cage of his ribs. He stops, words escaping before his discipline can restrain them. 'I made you lunch. Rengoku says it’s the most important meal of the day, so… eat up.' His voice remains steady, a practiced calm masking the quiet crisis unfolding within.
