His name.

They hasn’t been called that by anyone but Oyakata-sama in ages. And a promise? Giyuu, promising to help him have a fair future, promising to not let its happiness be lost? A breeze softly floats by, and the air in his lungs leaves with it, only returning with a gasp as they blink hurriedly, trying to process what was said.

Muichirou wasn’t sure if he was understanding the man’s words correctly.

“How… How will you help?”

he watched the kid with a dull stare as they spoke , quiet . a new family , huh ? a concept his mind kept locked out of bounds for years now . loss was .. painstaking . and with bonds , with family , came the reminder that nothing is permanent . no will be there forever . he couldn't care to try . to force through the bitter cycle of life if he didn't have to .

but the words of the youth settled within him like seeds sown deep in the fresh earth , knitting his eyebrows with a sigh . this kid had lost everything , presumably . surely they knew the cruel ways of the world just as well as he did . but he still wanted to try . wanted to get that happiness even with the knowledge of the cost . he'd wasn't sure if he'd ever know that feeling .

but hell , it was good that tokito did .

loss was hard to get over . he knew that just as well as the next slayer , if the haori he wore was any indicator . grief was hard to move on from , use to grow . but some people could do that , and he was never truly sure why . though he think he saw a good deal of the reason in tokito . some people wanted that life , to move past the negative happenings in their life . to make theirs and the lives of others better . to feel alright relying on others .

his sister had been like that .

he was never like her in such a way , both selfless and empathetic enough to force herself past loss and struggle , to find her own " light at the end of the tunnel " , as they had said . even after all of these years of training , he wasn't nearly as strong as she had been , to move ahead , not only for her sake , but his too . she had the strength to find love , to sacrifice it for the sake of another . he would never be the same as tsutako . never even close .

but .. maybe he could try his own ways to be a ... positive - influence in the mist hashira's life . hell knows the kid deserved it , a whole lot more than he did when he was younger .

" the past is .. tricky , indeed .. but i promise you , muichiro , i will do what i can to help you have a fair future . i won't let that happiness of yours be misplaced . that is my promise to you . "

Send “☠” for my muse to tell your’s a bad memory.

Alternately, send “☼” for my muse to tell your’s a good memory!

[mistbreathing-archived]

Muichirou nods, quietly dwelling on the man's words before gathering their thoughts, and finding his voice.

"We can’t travel back to the past or alter it, but… we can still live in the present and shape the future. My family... they're long gone. But I can always find a new family. Even if it’s not the same as before, it would still make me happy." The youth turns its gaze to the clouds above them — large, wispy, and white, floating calmly across the sky — and silently, with an ache in his chest, he wishes he could remember more.

“I guess some things were meant to happen. Even if it’s painful, it has to lead you to somewhere good, right? Like… like a light at the end of the tunnel,” Muichirou sneaks a glance at Giyuu from the corner of their eye, and smiles gently, “It hurts to think about how I’ll never get the past back, but everything that happened led me here. And I’m glad it did, because if it hadn’t, I would have never met you.”

a sigh leaves the man , and he scratches the back of his neck . it's a stupid concept , the idea of going back to before everything went wrong . he knows it only brings a certain disdain to the present . but he is bitter . and such feeling only grows with thoughts of those memories , the ideas of them .

" it isn't weird , bud .. you've been dealt a shitty hand by life , and .. things won't ever go back to being the same . plus everything going on in your head . it is hard to imagine . "

a slight furrow of the eyebrows followed by an airy huff . the idea of going back seems so enticing at times , yet so absolutely pointless . he couldn't change anything . what happened had happened . the peace he once had was gone now , likely to never return . so why did it stay stuck in his mind ?

[mistbreathing-archived]

Muichirou hums, reflecting on the shards of memory his mind has managed to grasp onto. Back when they were smaller… through the haze, it can see tall birch trees, loving hands that washed their clothes, a small wooden cabin on a quiet mountain. The youth thinks he understands what Giyuu means now.

“My past doesn’t feel real for me. Maybe that’s because I don’t have the full picture yet but… it’s hard to imagine that I had a family years ago, that I was just living a normal life.” They look down and fiddle with their sleeves, a habit he has yet to kick, “Erm… Sorry if that sounded weird.”

@mistbreathing sent 💬 for a randomly generated line . thanks man :)

" sometimes , i want to turn back the clock to before ... "

[mistbreathing-archived]

Muichirou looks up at the man, curiosity plain on his face. They understand the sentiment but… before is a much longer time for the Water Pillar. And Muichirou doesn’t know much about Giyuu’s past.

“Before? Before what..?”

Send me “🌺” + a plot idea you’ve been wanting to write which you think might fit our muses. no rules, just the first thing that comes to mind!

[mistbreathing-archived]

Send "You came." for me to write drabble where where my muse finds themselves in a moment where they feel lost, scared etc, all while eventually noticing that your muse came for them.

Send "You called." for me to write a drabble where my muse rushes to your muse in a desperate moment where they need them.

[mistbreathing-archived]

Send “Truth!” and my muse will have to honestly answer anything you ask them.

Or
