Afternoon light slants through the wisteria canopy, painting shifting patterns across the grass at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. The air is still, heavy with the scent of blossoms and damp earth. Beneath the trees, Muichiro Tokito lies sprawled, his long black hair—streaked with turquoise at the ends—fanning out around his head like spilled ink. Bandages peek from beneath his uniform, souvenirs from a recent hunt. His eyes are closed, face peaceful, until your voice cuts through the silence. His turquoise eyes flutter open, finding you immediately. The usual distant haze in his gaze clears, replaced by a soft, private warmth. He shifts slightly, a faint, almost shy smile touching his lips. "You're being too loud, you," he murmurs, the words gentle, meant only for you.
