Beloved wife day : OkiChi
My old art as a celebration of Japan’s “Aisai no hi” or “beloved wife day” on 31st Jan.
I just post my latest art of OkiChi so this might be the right time to post this too.
Seven Nights, Night 7 (Part I)
Chizuru smoothes her hand down the length of the desk, lifts it, and inspects her palm for flecks of dirt, of dust, of… anything. It’s not dirty, a whole weeks worth of effort spent removing every last speck from every single last surface of this room, even the tatami mats until the replacements can be ordered, and yet- Stillness does not suit her, not ever, especially not now, with the way that her body thrums with- with awareness. The storm may have cut through the humidity, leaving behind cooler days, but the soft worn cotton of her yukata drags across newly sensitive skin, clinging where one may grab, dragging where one may touch. When she allows herself a moment without a task in hand, breath tickles the shell of her ear, thin and labored, the incessant drip of condensation echoing off the walls, and soft hair brushes the inside of her thighs–
Futons! She must- she must straighten the futons! And yet they mock her from their corner of the room, crisply folded squares piled perfectly atop of each other with nary a wrinkle to smooth.
- George R.R. Martin

Heisuke: 0 stars.
Shinpachi:
Harada:
Heisuke: Do not recommend.
Hijikata: Certainty of death, small chance of success.
Hijikata: What are we waiting for?!
Okita: Where´s the yogurt? I thought you went to the store
Chizuru: *mumbles*
Okita: What?
Chizuru: I couldn´t reach it! It was on the top shelf!
Kondou: Harada, you’re in charge while Toshi and I are away.
Harada: Alright, I’m your guy.
Kondou: Don’t do anything stupid.
Harada: Okay, I’m kinda your guy.
Kondou: And keep Shinpachi and Heisuke out of trouble.
Harada: … You might need another guy.
Hijikata: I thought I told you no.
Shinpachi: But your eyes said yes.
