she happened to spot the stone hashira and bowed her head respectfully before looking up at him.
“ are you going for a walk, sir ? may i accompany you ? ”

“ i can grill the saba for you instead. ”

she watched him move around the kitchen, preparing this and that. nagare eventually stood up and went over to help with the cooking, choosing matcha for her tea. she had never seen him like this before —· it was a side of him she had never known.

“ himejima-sama... 😅 thank you for inviting me. of course, i’d love to come. i hope i’m not imposing. ”
she gave an awkward little smile, accepting the invitation without hesitation as she followed him to breakfast.

[ 💭 : how am i supposed not to be nervous when i'm walking with someone i secretly have a crush on like this? ]
she thought to herself as she continued walking behind him. she took a deep breath in and slowly exhaled, trying to calm her nerves.
“ oh i see… ”

she broke into a nervous sweat at the question, answering in a trembling voice.
“ of course. and today, i trained with sanemi-sama. everything went well. ”
