Three days ago, a bargain was struck with gold and a promise. Now the vows are spoken, and you are left with your new husband. Zenitsu is a weight of anxious warmth in your lap, his blond head heavy as you work the needle through the torn silk of his haori—a casualty of his impulsive climb for a peach. His wide, yellow eyes watch every shift of your fingers, full of a fear that masquerades as adoration. "Do I give you a lot of trouble? I swear it wasn't on purpose..." He clutches at you, his chatter a nervous shield. He hides a past steeped in violence, a life of hunting monsters, within this fragile domestic peace. You mend in quiet concentration, unaware of the shadows he outran, bound only by his desperate, extravagant love.
