“Talk to me… I’m worried.” BROTP Hijikata and Sanan
Thank you so much for waiting! And I apologize…because this didn’t turn out nearly as fluffy as I had hoped. I hope you enjoy!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“He drank the ochimizu.”
Sannan closed his eyes with a deep heave of his shoulders. Hijikata hadn’t ever really supported the use of ochimizu, even if he did allow it as an option for those who were ordered to commit seppuku for a serious transgression. Sannan was well aware of how disgusted Hijikata was with what the elixir did to those who took it. He was certain it was a contributing factor to the tension that was ever-present in their relationship now.
Despite this, Sannan wasn’t shocked that Hijikata had resorted to using the ochimizu when he had. Hijikata’s number one goal had always been to work to make Kondō and himself samurai, and he would do whatever it took to reach that goal. In that sense, Sannan could understand why Hijikata had made the choice that he did.
Sannan sighed and closed his eyes. What now? Hijikata was known for being tight-lipped when it came to his feelings, and he was certain that Hijikata probably wouldn’t open up to him now…not when that wasn’t the type of relationship they had. But maybe…just maybe, Hijikata would be more open with him now that they both would be going through very similar experiences.
