[20] - ❝𝑷𝒆𝒏 𝑷𝒂𝒍?❞

"Pen Pal?" Genya repeated, looking at the Hashira, clearly confused.

Muichiro furrowed his brows with a scoffed. Was this guy reallt stupid?
"You! You were Pen Pal, weren't you???" Muichiro said, raising the paper. He was in disbelief and slightly disappointed.

Genya's eyes widened at Muichiro's claim. He's his Pen Pal?
"Your the person who loves origami?"

Muichiro nodded almost immediately.

Muichiro looks down at the paper, gripping it tightly as he skims through the penmanship. The demon guy, was his Pen Pal?

"This is impossible..." He mumbled quietly.

Genya watches Muichiro and gave a small smile. Extending a hand and slowly brush his back.
"You good?" Genya asks, tilting his head.

"I guess..." Muichiro glanced away, putting the paper down.
"I didn't expect you to be... them..."

Genya's look soften with a small frown.
"Is it bad?"

Muichiro didn't reply. He glances to the side, gripping onto the paper. Genya began to worry and maybe feel anxious. Does Muichiro hate him after finding out their eachother's Pen Pal?

"Tokito-san?"

"Your leaving tomorrow, right?" Muichiro asked, almost about a whisper.

"Oh?" Genya was a bit taken a back.
"Yeah, I'm going to Nemi's..."

"Okay." Muichiro sighs and stood up, keeping his gaze away from his fellow Pen Pal.
"Break time ends in two minutes, so get ready.." Muichiro said coldly with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Genya just nodded, watching the Mist Hashira walk away. He looks down, still slightly surprised about his crush being his Pen Pal?

Was he that blind?

He groaned in slight frustration, tilting his head up. He recalls Muichiro mentioning some person he likes through the letters he sent. It hit Genya like a bullet through his chest.

Is that why Tokito-san is cold with me...? He told himself, taking a mental note.
I should leave early morning... He sighed.

Meanwhile with Muichiro, he was standing by the window. Ignoring Genya's presence by looking up to the sky. Ginko flew over to his shoulder, seeing a small glint in his eyes.

"Tokito-sama?" She called. Muichiro's emotionless look was a mix of disappointment, disbelief, and somehing else.

"Mm..." Muichiro hummed with his face remaining blunt.

Ginko got a bit worried. Did she do something wrong?
Of course not! It's not because of me, right??? But I did told him to reply to him... Ginko huffed, rejecting the fact she help started all this.

Well this may not go well for the two Pen Friends...

The following evening, Muichiro sits by his desk, handling some papers. As he was about this finish, he stacked them and opens the drawers filled with Genya's letter unconsciously. He looks at them with narrow eyes and his mouth slightly open.

Without hesitation, he picked up one of the letters and opens it. Rereading the words Genya was written down. He looks at the paper faintly, was he too rude towards Genya?

He took a breath and stood up. Putting the letter back to it's drawer and the stack papers to it's supposed drawer. He took his wooden sword and walks out of his place to train with the Serpent and Wind Hashira.

When he was making his way to the place, Ginko landed on his shoulder to stay by his side. She was still in denial about being part of this, though she planned everything... she just wanted her dear owner to not feel so empty.
