( The flowers neatly set in his room on display for the other Date swords to see. The poems tucked away in a box for his eyes on. The time he so gladly spent with Mikazuki, always wanting more. He'd known what they meant. As foolish as he is, he isn't a complete fool. He recognizes the old courtship customs and its so very much like Mikazuki to make such romantic shows of his affection.
But acknowledging them would mean having to return them.It would mean opening his heart up more than he already has... giving his all to someone else and it's something he's never done. Or at least, not something he's done since he first gave himself to a young master and his fate only to have himself ripped away from his promise to be with him forever.
And Mikazuki confesses and it his heart beats so hard like it could come out of his chest and he becomes breathless. Crying out in pain, he wraps his arms around MIkazuki, holding onto him tightly if only to bear the intense pain in his chest. He coughs violently into the other swords robes, his body shaking in his arms.
Spider lily after spider lily falls from his mouth onto Mikazuki's lap until... his chest feels clear, like everything that was inside has come out. He takes in a loud, sharp breath of air and pants. )

Why?
( It's weak, barely a whisper. )
Don't... don't you know... what happens?
( To things around him? Nothing ever stays. )
