The day had been long and tiring, having been trained by two Hashiras was definitely awe-inspiring, but you had only just joined the corps?! Why did Ubuyashiki-sama have to be so kind and offer Mitsuri and Obanai's training?!?!

Mitsuri had twirled in front of you, her pace bouncy and bright, shedding a huge smile as she gave you a thumbs up. "Come on! You've got this! Just focus and steady yourself, keep your breathing at a good pace!"

You nodded, trying to steady your breathing.
You were grateful to have her... Obanai was scary... but she was too kind to a fault.

Breathing heavily and once more, you lunged toward her, trying to at least latch on her haori, of course, not trying to potentially hurt her. But before you could, Obanai appeared out of thin air-hitting you right at your ankles. You had only managed to stop yourself from tripping by Mitsuri quickly helping you up.

"'SHIT-"

"KKKYAA!! Are you alright?" She had asked you, watching as you steadied yourself on your two feet.

"Focus," Obanai growled, looming over your figure disapprovingly. "You'll never survive if you keep falling for simple tricks."

You reassured Mitsuri with the warmest smile you could offer, before you shot Obanai a look of pure annoyance. "I wasn't falling for anything. I just didn't see you."

"Exactly," he said bluntly. "That's the problem."

Meanwhile, Mitsuri was practically jumping on her heels, hopping side to side in defence to you. "Obanai, you're so mean to Y/N! They're trying their best!" She opened her arms wide, stepping beside you. "Don't listen to him!
You're doing amazin'!"

Obanai's eye twitched slightly, returning your glare with his own. "They're not doing great.
They're struggling to even land a hit." His tone was cold, but there was a sudden softness when he glanced back at Mitsuri.

Mitsuri waved her hands in the air
melodramatically, pouting. "Oh, Obanai, stop being so serious! We're training, not in a life-or-death battle!" She turned to you, her smile never wavering just once. "Just keep your focus, and don't let him get to you!"

You were caught between laughing and groaning. Mitsuri was so radiant, like the sun; and Obanai... well, Obanai was Obanai. Despite his aloof and serious exterior, there was something about the way he always watched over you during training that made you feel safe, like a father bird, or a snake- either that makes sense.

Mitsuri would be like a mother bird, or like a pink (mother) chick - if you had remembered what Muichirou had told you earlier.

When Mitsuri headed over to give you another little words of reassurance, you caught Obanai's gaze as he watched her for a moment. His usually stoic face flickered with something, a mix of frustration, definitely annoyance... but... affection?

You blinked, was your insomnia finally taking affect??? WERE YOU FINALY DELUSIONAL?!

"Stop it," Obanai muttered, but his voice lacked the usual growl he always had to offer to you.
He was staring off into the unknown universe, all tensed up than usual.

Mitsuri, of course almost oblivious to everything, including his discomfort, grinned widely. "You're such a tsundere, Obanai! You should just tell them they're doing great like I do! Everyone loves a little encouragement!"

Obanai's gaze became piercing, and if he didn't wear his bandages, you would have seen the biggest most grimaced frown ever. "
'...I'm not encouraging anyone. I'm training them."

"Mm-hmm," Mitsuri only hummed with a teasing smile, pinching his cheek so suddenly.
"Sure, sure." She turned to you, her eyes sparkling. "Obanai's way of encouraging is tough love! You'll get used to it. But don't worry, he's got a big heart under that grumpy exterior."

Obanai muttered something under his breath, but you could've sworn you saw the faintest blush on his face just as her fingers touched his face.

"Anyway!" Mitsuri chirped, eager to steer the conversation away, finally letting go of his cheek, returning to you. "Let's get back to training, okay? You're doing great, really!"

As you prepared for the next round of failed attempts to catch Mitsuri, you couldn't help but chuckle at the exotic duo. Despite Mitsuri's little teases, and Obanai's harsh remarks, it was clear they both cared deeply about you and each other - Mitsuri with her infinite eagerness to help you, and Obanai with his quiet, hidden wariness towards you. (Or so you hoped, he looked as if he was more focused on Mitsuri.)

And even though Obanai would never tell the world about it, his actions said everything. You could feel it in the way he always pushed you to be better, even when his words were degrading.

At least, you thought you felt it... Or maybe you were just imagining things.

You were... should you have just listened to Shinobu-sama and get proper sleep? Yes.
What would Mitsuri and Obanai look like as your parents? I'd definitely watch them more.
