Since a long time, Tengen was deeply in love with Y/n. Even though he was already, he couldn't help his feelings.

Her warm smile, her glowing eyes, her skin so pure, her hair flying to the wind, her kind and loving personality. Y/n was just perfect.

Unfortunately, Y/n wasn't feeling the same. For her, Uzui was an amazing friend. He would always make her laugh. Their relation wouldn't go farther.

It had been weeks since Tengen was locking himself in his room. Even his wives weren't allowed in. As the days passed, he was getting weaker. His face was pale and he couldn't stand correctly. His coughing couldn't stop. Everytime, he was coughing blood and flowers.

The petals were growing bigger, so much Tengen was literally throwing them up. His breathing was heavy, when he had the occasion to breath. He was laying down in his bed. That was all he could do except coughing.

Y/n was often visiting him, hoping that he would let her enter. His wives, knowing how much they were close, let her in.

She knocked on the door, with concern on her face.

-Uzui..Please, let me in...

His eyes were wide open. Tengen didn't want her to see him like that. He knew she'd be worried.

-Y/n...Leave me alone! He hardly shouted, coughing. I'm fine.. he lied. Obviously, he wasn't doing alright.

Tengen knew he didn't have much time left. He atleast wanted her to know how he felt.

She sighed.

-Okay... I'll come back when you get better... She declared as she walked away.

What Y/n didn't know is that Tengen was dying for her...

-Y/n... I won't get better.. He hardly whispered. Stay...

Tengen got up with difficulty and walked to his door. He opened it slightly. He then coughed again.

-Y/n... come back to me... please... (Lana Rey, will you serve me lemonade?)

However, she didn't hear him. She already left. Makio, one of his wives, somehow noticed.

-Y/n! Tengen's waiting for you! She called her back.

She immediately came back and went to Uzui's room.

-Uzui! Her smile instantly faded when she saw how aweaken he was. What happened..?

-Y/n...! Tengen coughed. He was barely standing, about to fall down.

Y/n caught him in time, then helped him get back to his bed. She layed him down.

-You should rest... she said with lot of concern on her face.

He was still coughing, wanting to tell her something.

-Y/n..! I... his coughing made it really hard. She took his hand tightly, feeling sad for him.

-Please.. Make him better soon... she was praying for him. (Lol, like Gyomei)

-Y/n... tears fell down his eyes. He realized he probably wouldn't make it to the end of the day.

-Please, Uzui.. you're bleeding.. Talking won't make you better... she declared, worried and confused about what was going on.

-I... I need to tell you something... He hardly spoke.

-What is it...? She still asked, curious.

Tengen was coughing, it was unbearable. A giant flower came out of his mouth. He was unable to breath correctly.

-Uzui! She looked scared for him. So many questions. Y/n saw a glass of water next to the table. She gave it to him. There...

He drank the water hardly. His hand was shaking so much he couldn't hold the glass straight.

After drinking it, he was able to speak a bit clearer.

-Y/n... I've been waiting so long to- *cough* tell you.. *cough cough*

He had a sad smile on his face. He felt the tears falling down his cheeks.

Y/n checked his heartbeating. It was slower as much as the time passed. She was barely feeling it.

-Uzui..

-Y/n.. *cough* I.. the coughing wouldn't stop.

After a while, he reunited all his strength to pronouce these words:

-I... I love you... Y/n...

As he finally confessed to her, he wasn't coughing anymore. His breath wasn't even there. Y/n looked at him in shocked.

-Uzui! She verified his poulse once again.

Nothing...

Tengen was dead.

As she realizes, Y/n screamed in tears. (With the S) She stared at his lifeless body. Still sobbing, she held him against him.

Y/n fell down at the floor.

-Uzui! Why you?! Why...?! Why..? She was breathing hardly. Her tears wouldn't let her do so.

Hearing the commotion, Hinatsuru, Makio and Suma immediately entered his room. They stared at Uzui. He wasn't moving anymore.

Suma couldn't stop sobbing and Makio was upset that she couldn't anything. Hina, in her case, was trying to calm the three down, even hpif she was in tears too.

-If only I knew... It wouldn't happened... I should've known...

Y/n was feeling guilty for being the one Tengen loved to death. Hinatsuru put her hand on her shoulder.

-Don't blame yourself... Tengen would hate seeing like this.. He always loved you..

She was trying to comfort Y/n.

{Later}

All the Hashira were gathered around his grave. Tanjiro and his friends were there too, Tengen's wives as well.

The tension was heavy, nobody spoke. They all just felt sad, even the Muscle Mice.

-He was an honorable Pillar.. May he rest in peace.. prayed Gyomei.

Obanai hugged Mitsuri tightly as she was crying too.

-Poor Uzui..

Tanjiro was feeling sad too, praying too. Nezuko mumbled.

-Mmh.. mmmh.. (How sad)

Zenitsu was feeling sad, even though he didn't liked Uzui in the beginning.

Muichiro was looking at the sky, but felt bad for Tengen deep down. Kyojuro was in complete denial. Giyu stayed silent, holding back his tears. Shinobu looked sad, but stayed strong. Sanemi was quiet, still shocked by his lost. (Aoi probably didn't cause he spanked her assXD)

Y/n was far from there, crying the most. All this time, Tengen loved her and she never realized, even though it was obvious. But she never felt "this" way towards him.
