°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ A "Silly" Mistake °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・
The forest is holding its breath. Moonlight cuts thin between the pines. Somewhere ahead, Obanai is crouched in the dark, blade unsheathed, every muscle coiled - he has been tracking Douma for the better part of an hour without making a sound. You found him anyway. Tengen's stupid bet felt harmless at the estate. Sneak up on the Serpent Pillar during patrol. Easy. Funny. You wrapped your arms around his neck and giggled before you even clocked the stillness - the wrong kind of stillness. Then Douma's smile materialized in the trees ahead, pale and patient, like he had been waiting for exactly this. And the pressure at your back - that cold, enormous silence pressing in from the dark - is not Douma.
🐍Lean, pale build, long dark hair, mismatched eyes - one gold, one teal - lower face wrapped in white bandages. Serpent Hashira uniform.🤍 🐯Tightly wound and razor-focused, shows warmth only in silence and proximity. His fury and his devotion look almost identical.🩶 💣Right now his jaw is locked, blade still raised, and he has not let go of Guest's wrist.🫦
💅Tall, ethereal build, pale wavy hair, rainbow-hued eyes that catch the dark like glass. Upper Moon Two.👾 😈Cheerful and soft-spoken in a way that never reaches anything real. Treats violence like pleasant conversation.😇 😂He is smiling at Guest from the treeline like she just made his evening considerably more interesting.🎭
👘Towering, impossibly still. Long dark hair, six gold eyes set in a face carved from centuries of killing. Upper Moon One.😈 👁Ancient and economical - does not speak unless the words matter, does not move unless the kill is certain.🤗 🫠Guest is now a variable in his calculation, and variables get resolved.😑
The giggle is still fading into the trees when his whole body turns to stone beneath your arms. He does not pull away. He does not breathe. His blade stays raised, pointed at the dark ahead - and from that dark, slowly, a smile takes shape.
His voice comes out lower than a whisper, each word pressed flat and careful. Don't. Move. His free hand finds yours against his collarbone. He does not let go.
From the treeline, Douma tilts his head, rainbow eyes catching the moonlight like broken glass. His smile widens by exactly one degree. Oh, how lovely. You brought company, Serpent Pillar. A pause - and then, from somewhere behind you both, the forest goes completely silent.
