@en-bashira​ whispered:  👫 :3 // Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship

rather she knows it or not is up for debate, but mitsuri has had a crush on kyojuro from the get go.  he’s pretty much everything that she’s been looking for in a guy.  he’s strong, he’s cute, and he’s sweet as pie.  i don’t think it’s something that’s immediately apparent to her because... she’s really oblivious when it comes to her own emotions until they slap her in the face, but she’s def been making moon eyes at him from the moment she met him and i think that’s really cute because i think everyone would notice.  but then they’d prolly be confused because she pretty much crushes on all the other hashira LOL

there’s a lot of genuine concern on her part regarding how reckless he is.  she admires his dedication to protecting others, but having seen it for such a long time first hand she’s sort of worried about what he’ll do when he’s alone and it makes her anxious about her promotion to hashira at first because she won’t be with him.  and if she’s not with him who’s gonna have his back when he does something stupid?  it’s something she’d def confide in him about post train, but it contributes to a lot of stress surrounding leaving him for a while. 

mitsuri adores his hair, which is sort of funny considering how much she dislikes her own hair.  she likes playing with it once they’re at a spot where they’re comfortable with that sort of intimacy.  she’ll sort of sit behind him and just spend hours twirling it around her fingers and letting it run between them.  it’s part of what makes him unique and therefore one of the things she loves most about him. 

No, because it's probably one of the KNY ships I've drawn more than once and, undoubtedly, I will draw it again. And again. And again. 🤧

In this moment we can see a moment of intimacy between the two; they are a bit older and Kochō has finally given up the ghost of her sister and decided to move on with the person she has always loved (and always bullied because yes, as a child she was convinced that he wanted to take Kanae away from her so she began to bully him in various ways so that the other would move away from both of them. This treatment, however, had an opposite effect by leading the boy to grow even closer not to Kanae but, rather, to Shinobu herself.) and that, over time, he was able to learn about unseen aspect that he never revealed to anyone.

Kyojurō (in this AU saved himself from fighting Akaza and with Shinobu's surgical medical knowledge was able to recover from long months of coma. Shinobu was the only one who could stay in the room and take care of him H24. As far as parental visits were concerned, only his apprentice Senjuro was allowed to come in and be updated.) he discovered new aspects of himself and, in doing so, had opportunities to see Shinobu in all new guises; less vengeful, less pain, less angry at the world at large. Even here, however, the boy is a little bit targeted by Kochō's character who does not hesitate for a moment to provoke or poke him even after an intimate encounter. After all-who could resist poking that blushing little face who hasn't quite figured out that you're veiledly implying that you'd be inviting him for yet another round of bed sheets?
