Explain

°•°Kyojuro POV°•°

I ran to the Butterfly Mansion, carrying Tomioka bridal-style. His breathing was getting more shallow with each mile I ran. Shinagazuwa ran behind me shouting at me that we should just leave him to die. Well I refuse! He's not going to die. Not if I have anything to say about it! I finally reached the Butterfly Mansion. I burst through the door, surprising Aoi and Kanao. Kanao seeing Tomioka, went off to get Kocho while Aoi was already trying to ease Tomioka out of my arms.
"Let me have Tomioka please." She asked, irritation evident in her voice.
"No. Just show me where to put him." She sighed and brought me to a room, where I set Tomioka down on the bed. I sat in a chair next to the bed. Not even a minute later Kocho came through the door. "Ara~ Ara~"

(A/N: Meaning: oh me, oh my. Used to show disapproval, suprise or affection. In this case it's used for disapproval. This is in no way flirtatious in this story. Thank you for understanding)

°•°Shinobu POV°•°

Oh lord, why does he have to be the one injured? Why can't it be Rengoku or Shinagazuwa. Their much better than him.
I put a pained smile on my face.
"It seems Tomioka-san got hurt now."
"Kocho!" I won't lie, I was a bit startled by Rengoku's sharp tone. "Help him already!"
"H-hai. (yes)" What is this menacing aura coming from Rengoku. Don't tell me... No... It couldn't be. RENGOKU LIKES TOMIOKA?! Unbelievable! Who could ever like him?!

~One week later~

°•°Tomioka POV°•°

I woke up in a white room. I sighed. I was at the Butterfly Mansion, wasn't I? Now I have to deal with Kocho even more. I sat up in my bed. The door began to open.
"Yeah. Yeah. I know Kocho." Rengoku walked into the room. Our eyes met and I blushed slightly.
"Tomioka! Your awake! I was so worried!"
"Tomioka's awake?!" A familiar and annoying voice rang out. Kocho came into the room. "Your finally awake. I thought you were going to die with the amount of blood you lost." She smiled. I wish I did die. Then I wouldn't have to see her ugly face.

(No hate to Shinobu. It's just for the story!)

But... there was something... no someone that was telling me to stay here. That person was--
"I hope you know that no one apart from Rengoku came to visit you. That's because no one likes you~." And with that she left the room. Rengoku however, stayed. He sat himself down on a chair next to my bed.
"Tomioka. Explain."

°•°Kyojuro POV°•°

Those two words looked like they sent Tomioka over the edge. Tears welled in his eyes. I sat there, unsure of what to do. With no idea but this one, I hugged him. He melted into my embrace and seemed to calm down. "Rengo-" "No. Call me Kyojuro."
Tomioka blushed. "Kyo...juro." It sounded strange but nice to hear him say my name.
"Now Tomioka. Care to explain?"

(After Giyu explained his depressing story)

I sat there shocked. Tomioka's been through so much. Kocho and Shinagazuwa don't help one bit. "Also Kyojuro," I looked at him. "Call me Giyu." I smiled. "Okay Giyu!" A thought entered my head.
"Giyu. Since your past lover died..."

"Do you love anyone?"

"Well Kyojuro, the person I love is...

You."
