#Shinta Himura

His expression went from slight surprise to abject terror, but I like it. x3 He turned out sufficiently cute in this one!

Took a break from the Fei Fong Wong train for a bit to paint my other favorite boy. I only just now realized he's got Elly colors...

I just realized...

Maedhros Fëanorion 🤝 Himura Kenshin: red-haired swordsmen of exceptional skill and fame with scars on their faces who are burdened by the guilt of the many lives they have taken and who both swore an important oath (though the purpose of their oaths was very different). They both also changed their names—Shinta to Kenshin and Maitimo/Russandol/Nelyafinwë to Maedhros.

Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal

When mankind's savagery surpasses his fear of death, there is little hope for those who wish to live honest lives. Beneath a full moon, a young boy witnesses the murder of the bandits who had enslaved him, and is then christened with a new name by the man who rescued him. This boy is Shinta, now known as Kenshin Himura, and he is destined to become a swordsman. The softness of his heart does not befit the occupation, but his desire to protect the innocent is absolute.

“I’ve been through a lot of bad times. I was born in the middle of a famine. I lost my parents and brothers. Since the age of ten, I’ve trained relentlessly under the hiten misturugi ryu. Now I am Choushuu’s hitokiri. Up ‘til now, in my dealings with people, I haven’t had a lot to smile about.”

“I learned the principles of the hiten misturugi ryu, wielded a sword, killed... all for an age in which the powerless could find happiness...but to tell the truth, up ‘til now, I didn’t know what happiness was.”

“Living here with you, Tomoe... has thaught me what happiness is.”

I’ve always liked calling Kenshin an “old man”.

Like I never call him by his first name or last, I just like to call him “old”.

There’s just something about him that makes me wanna keep calling him like that. Whether it’s because of the way that he talks or the way that he dresses I’ll never know. Hell, maybe it’s just both.

I could care less of the fact that he’s 28 the first time that we see him.

He’s really just a huge mix of young (cuz of his face), old (cuz of the way he speaks) and right in the middle (sometimes he’d just act completely idiotic out of nowhere).

Yeah imma just call him “old man” like usual.

Figuring out his mental age gives me a headache.

Concern over a friend

Prompt: Right or Wrong Fandom: Rurouni Kenshin Setting: CANON after series (Continues “Looking at a mirror”) Characters: Kenshin Himura, Shinta Himura Word count: 999 

Kenshin was elbow-deep in laundry, when a hesitant voice asked from behind him, “Dad, could we talk for a moment?”

“Oro!” Kenshin turned to look over his shoulder.

His younger son, Shinta, was shuffling his feet and avoiding his gaze. Usually, Shinta wasn’t particularly indecisive or shy; at least not with him. Which meant that something was wrong.

“Of course,” Kenshin smiled reassuringly and let the almost washed linens drop back to the suds. “Is something wrong?”

“No, nothing’s wrong,” Shinta raised his hands, hurrying to assure him. “No, it’s just stuff. Something, um… something a friend of mine said, and I wanted to ask your opinion about, that’s all.”

“Oh?” Kenshin raised his eyebrow, settling on his haunches more comfortably. ”Is it an urgent matter, or just perplexing?”

“Err, Perplexing… and urgent. Um, both? Definitely both,” Shinta hedged, his hands restless by his sides, betraying his anxiety. “But you see, the thing is, this friend of mine… I think he is up to something – well, something he really shouldn’t be doing.”

“…Oh?” Kenshin paused. “What’s it then?”

“Uh, well – he… My friend, he is…” Shinta stammered, his eyes darting to the other end of the courtyard, where Kenji was practicing his katas in midday heat. Shirtless. Curious choice for a young man when there was a cool, private dojo available, and when he had just a couple months ago declared he wanted no audience for his practice sessions so no one could copy the secret moves Hiko had taught him.

Quite coincidentally, Sano had been busy the whole morning, entertaining the youngest of the Himura clan, five-year-old Miyu-chan, on the veranda facing the courtyard. Now the little girl was engaged in an attempt to tame Sano’s long, shaggy hair and braid it into several tiny braids.

Kenshin had been following the show in a concerned silence, keeping watch as he washed all laundry he could possibly find in the house. Truthfully, he had no idea how he should begin to unwind this mess his brilliant idea had turned into.

However, in his urge to keep things under wraps, he hadn’t considered that his younger son might realize something was off, too. Stupid of him. Shinta was Kenji’s closest friend. Of course, he would notice if his older brother was acting strange.

“The trouble with this friend of yours…” Kenshin said quietly, “this one assumes it concerns romance, does it not?”

“I, ah… I think so.” Shinta reddened and avoided his gaze, looking as uncomfortable as Kenshin had ever seen him. “If it was anyone else, I’d be happy for him. But this person he, um, my friend is interested in – It’s not okay. It’s really not okay. And I don’t know what to do about it.”

The last words contained such bewildered hurt, that Kenshin’s breath caught. He swallowed to ease his dry, pained throat. “Shinta,” he started, and tapped the grass beside him. “Come, sit. Let’s talk about this. Just the two of us.”

His son sat down hesitantly, twisting his long, gangly legs beneath him. Side by side like this, it struck Kenshin how tall his fourteen-year-old son had grown; his shoulder was almost on a level with the top of Kenshin’s head. But the distress in his son’s gaze made clear how very young he still was at heart.

“Now, this interest that your friend has shown… what about it exactly distresses you so, that is?”

“Uh, well… Um. Many things, I suppose. This guy – person,” Shinta hurried to correct, “this person is old, like seriously old, your and mom’s age, and err…”

“A man?” Kenshin filled in.

Shinta froze, panic flashing in his eyes. “You know?”

Kenshin leveled his son with a look.

“Oh.” Shinta hunched his shoulders, curling inwards, a vain attempt to make himself smaller. “Then… you approve?”

“No.”

“But, then why...?”

Kenshin sighed. “It’s not as simple as approval and disapproval. I don’t approve of the person. For several reasons, and the age difference is one of them.”

“And, um… gender?” Shinta asked.

“That’s not a problem for this one, that it isn’t. The gender of the one who holds your affections isn’t a matter of right or wrong. It just is. Even for your mother, this one doesn’t believe her to object, not if the matter would be presented right.”

“Really?” Shinta gaped at him, thoroughly startled. “But what about… well, with a man, there wouldn’t, couldn’t be – um, marriage and err, kids. Right?”

Kenshin huffed. “For your mother and this unworthy one, yours and your sister’s and brother’s happiness comes first, that it does.”

“Oh.”

Kenshin let his son stew the thought for a while, then asked gently, “Is it upsetting for you that Kenji seems to be inclined towards men?”

“I… I don’t know,” Shinta said after a while. “Maybe a little bit. It was just such a surprise. He was mumbling in his sleep… well, dirty, embarrassing stuff. It’s not the first time. But when I realized it was about a man – the only thing I could think was how furious and disappointed you and mom would be.”

“Never furious or disappointed,” Kenshin said. “Concerned, yes – definitely. But that doesn’t mean we wouldn't help or listen to you.”

Shinta dragged in a shaky breath. “Yeah. I guess so.”

“Not I guess. But yes, I know,” he chided gently. “Kaoru and this one, we are here for you, that we are.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“Good.” Kenshin drew his arm around his son’s shoulders, pulling him into a hug. “Thank you for telling this one. And please, don’t worry so much. We won’t let Kenji get hurt, that we won’t.”

“Yeah,” Shinta mumbled. “Thanks, dad.”

“Anytime.” Kenshin hugged Shinta again, stronger this time. “Now, how about you help this one to hang these linens to dry, and then, why don’t you tell this one all about this daughter of Ueda-san, to whom you have been talking to lately according to your mother?”

“DAAAD!”
