[GenMui week day 5: After the war]

Dear Nemi,

How are you? I hope that wherever you are right now, you are the happiest you could ever be. I'm sorry that we didn't have more time to spend together but I'm glad that even life was cruel, it gave us one last chance to be together before death took me.

But I won't talk about that today. Nemi, I have news for you.

Uhm, guess what, I got married today. Surprising, right? Hehe. What if I told you that I married the former Mist Hashira? Oh, I could totally hear you screaming bloody murder right now but it's true.

If somebody would tell me years ago that I will end up falling in love with the kid Hashira, and a boy at that, I would rather believe that the boar-masked weirdo is a genius. But I guess trivial things don't matter here anymore. Mui, I mean Muichiro, (that's what he wanted me to call him, okay?) had been there for me since day one. I thought that he would disappear forever but then fate threw him right back at me.

And then one day, he told me, "Genya, did you know that you could wish for anything here?" I wished that you and Mother were here with us Nemi, but Mui said, "In due time." and I guess he was right, so together, we wished for the next best thing, a home in a paradise we could call our own. A world we would also share with Mui's family. We thought of a big home, an abundance of trees and the sea and the sky.

It is beautiful and forever, Nemi.

Oh, you're curious how Mui and I fell in love with each other? *That is a story for another time.

But hmm, let's just say there were denials, tons of sibling teasing, an angry twin brother (shocking) and the realization that we were meant to be together. To become something more.

Life didn't give us the chance so death did.

Nemi, I am now married and Mui is right here in my arms as we watch the endless blue sea before us. Everyday he tells me how much he loves me and I make him the damn happiest ever. Children? We couldn't on our own but our siblings and his older twin brother are difficult enough for us to handle. Haha.

And from this moment on, everyday, I will wake up to my lovely husband, the golden sunrise will bathe his gentle sleeping face, the birds will sing us their morning songs and the trees will keep rustling in the wind to remind me of you. Then we, me, Mui my love, our siblings, Mui's family, would all run to the sea to greet the waves.

Dear Nemi, the memory of living in a rough neighborhood in a household filled with rage and abuse is long gone. As of speaking to you right now, we are all lazing together, laughing together. My rough, ugly scarred hand entwined with Mui's calloused battleworn one and he couldn't be more beautiful under the afternoon sun.

'I love you.' He says to me, I whisper it back to him.

Nemi, my dear brother, we are finally free.

"What do you mean, you want me there too, you jackass! And marrying Tokitou, really, Genya?!"

Few heads turn to the three men settled on a bench outside of a Dango shop. Rather, two men were busy grazing on snacks and one is peacefully dozing off on a separate bench beside them. Until an ear-splitting yell made everyone in the vicinity jump in surprise.

Giyuu Tomioka tries to shake the white-haired man awake and when he couldn't, Tengen Uzui opted to kick the poor wooden seat he was lying on. "Oi, Shinazugawa, are you sleep talking? Hahaha!"

Sanemi groans and slowly sits up, fingers rubbing the sleep away from his eyes. "More like a fucking nightmare. My brother got hitched to Tokitou." Uzui starts laughing hysterically and in confusion, bites his tea cup then attempts to drink his dango.

"Are you okay?" Giyuu asks in a low voice, only audible to Sanemi. Although he had formed a friendship with Giyuu and Uzui, it was only the former who knew about the dreams he had of Genya.

The dream he just had, were different from all others. Because somehow, it felt real. It felt as if it was Genya's soul talking to him.

Genya, living in some paradise with the people he love...Genya, living the life that Sanemi had dreamed for him, even if his partner was Tokitou, even if his children were their siblings....

Relief rushes within him. A lump forms in his throat and his light purple eyes start glimmering against the high noon sun..

"Tomioka, come help me pay at the register, I don't know how to money.." Maybe they have underestimated Uzui's way of understanding things. He and Giyuu wordlessly get up.

The moment they were gone, tears start cascading down the former Hashira's scarred face. Sanemi savors the feeling.

WAAAAA IM LATE AF. WWAAAAAAA I HATE SCHOOL. Somehow i made a AU abt this art. Please ask me abt it i haven't worked on it for a while

If you do not like the ship(boyxboy)then DNI (ps:i dont know how to write a wound healing but ill try my best!)

Genya had just gotten back after a long mission to the Mist estate, and somehow he managed to stumble there with fresh, new wounds on his body. Why didn’t he go to the Butterfly Mansion? It was too far from where he was at, and he knew that Mui could take care of small injuries like these, despite not being a medic or a doctor. He quietly opened the door and stepped in, then he closed the door as he saw a shocked Muichiro on the other side of the room. “Why didn’t you go the Butterfly Mansion? Are you alright?” He asked as worry filled his voice, as he rolled up his lover’s sleeves looking through for any wounds. “I’m fine, and it was just far away, from where I was. Besides you can take care of these small wounds too right?” He asked as he looked down, the shorter boy nodding, and quickly walking off as he was most likely looking for a medkit. “Sit down while I get some things okay?” He said, as he was still looking through quickly, as Genya simply nodded and sat down on the couch. A few moments later Mui came back with the medkit, as Genya’s sleeves were already rolled up with a few cuts on them. Muichiro grabbed a small wet tissue, as he put it over one of the cuts. “Hold that down for a bit.” He says as he grabs another wet tissue holding it on the wound for a few seconds before removing both. He left for a bit to get some things, some sort of liquid that would help and some bandages. He rubbed the liquid as he watched Genya slightly shiver due to the cold. He then wrapped some bandages over the cuts and was done as he kissed his boyfriend’s cheek. “I’ll make some tea, you’re probably tired after this mission right?” He asked as the taller boy nodded slightly as he watched his partner walk off and make some tea like he said. After some time he came back with two cups in his hands, as he he handed his lover one of the cups. They sat there on the couch closely drinking tea together.
