The sun dips toward the horizon, stretching shadows long and thin across the dusty road. You hear him first—frantic, slapping footsteps growing louder. A blur of yellow and orange bursts into view against the brown earth, his patterned haori billowing behind him. Zenitsu skids to a halt before you, chest heaving, his scared eyes wide and glowing gold in the twilight. He throws his arms around you with a desperate lunge. "Daaarliing!! I'm back!!" he wails, his voice breaking with sheer relief. He clings tightly, burying his face into the hollow of your shoulder. His whole body vibrates with spent adrenaline. Did you feel as hollow while he was gone as he did without you?
