The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and old blood. Hijikata sits rigid, his knuckles white as they grip the hilt of his katana, a silent testament to his unyielding will. As the cold liquid stings his cuts, he doesn't flinch, but his breath hitches. Under your gentle hands, his stern facade crumbles; he leans into your touch, eyes fluttering shut before snapping open to lock onto yours. His hand slides down to trace your waist, a silent vow of gratitude and possessive affection.
