Gyohan swap au 1 (🏺×😨)(angst)

⚠️⚠️Manga Spoilers⚠️⚠️

😨 Hantengu
🏺 Managi

The war was finally over, the demons were exterminated, somewhere in the field Hantengu was laying almost dead, without hands or feet, he had two deep cuts on his back, a large one on his forehead and 6 on his chest, but then he felt someone touching his face

😨: mm,

He barely open his eyes and saw light hair

😨: Douma-sama?

He saw everything blurry and after a while he saw clearly

😨: Managi-san, Did we won?

Managi was holding him, with the little strength he had left and the help of the kakushis who were there, he weakly crawled to him, he had taken off his haori and wrapped Hantengu with it
Managi had several cuts on his sides, no legs and half of his face was missing

🏺: Yes, we won, Kagaya is dead

😨: what a relief

(...)

😨: I can't feel my body anymore, looks like I'm going to die

🏺: I'm dying too, you won't be alone

😨: Managi-san I don't want you to die

Tears started to fall down from his eyes non stop

😨: I'm sorry, I wasn't very useful, I'm a hashira and I chickened out, a hashira who is afraid

He smiled slightly at the joke that he is while looking down with disgust and shame, which he is, and he feels for himself

😨: I was a shame

🏺: Don't say that about yourself *he said while he wiped his tears*, I beg you, don't insult yourself, Do you remember the day we first met?

😨: Yes, you were showing Douma-sama one of your vases, he noticed me, greeted me and I asked you for help to not to get lost in Kibutsuji-sama's mansion, you gave me a vase that had the map of his mansion, you helped me

🏺: no, it was the other way around

🏺: that day you were honest with your feelings, that's why you saved me

🏺: I've always hated weaklings and cowards, yet something about you was... different. It took me a while to figure out what was it, and then it hit me

🏺: it was that YOU were relaying on ME, despite being stronger than me because you saw me as a friend

🏺: that's why I was always so happy talking with you, because you remained me that is okay to be scared, to need help, we're all humans, we have our weaknesses, and asking someone weaker than you for help doesn't make you lame or weak it just means you were facing more than you can, so please don't talk bad about yourself, you're a hashira, you saved thousands of lives, you're the bravest person I know, after all you faced your fears like a real hero does

Hearing all this words coming out from his mouth was like an explosion of emotions for Hantengu he was processing everything so quickly and when he finishing listening to every word he start to cry again even harder

😨: *sobbing* I'M SO HAPPY! I... MANAGI-SAN I LOVE YOU! YOU MADE MISSIONS AND TRAINING BETTER, BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS GAVE ME THAT PROUD SMILE, WHICH MADE ME FEEL PROUD OF MY OWN ACCOMPLISHMENTS! Managi-san please, if we are reborn... and we come back as humans again, Will you marry me?

🏺: yes, if you give me that chance then I promise to make you happy and next time I swear in the name of the gods that I will NOT let you die again

He said as he hold him even tighter while he let his tears fall down

🏺: I promise you I'll protect you with my life, I'll never let go, I won't ever leave your side

Hantengu with all the strength he had left wrapped his arms around Managi

Neither of them knew if they were ever going to be reborn to keep that promise, but they didn't care, they were with each other and not even death itself would do them apart

Hantengu was so happy that he couldn't help but smile, and Managi was happy that in his last moment he got to see his only love smiling, that beautiful, contagious smile
