Mood Stripes 061: Understood

Chapter 61: Understood

Inuyasha understood wanting stuff. Wanting a second chance, because everything went to hell the first time. Wanting someone to protect, because it means you’re not alone anymore. Wanting your brother to want you around, even though he’s a stubborn bastard.

“You need to eat.” Inuyasha held out a skewer. Sesshoumaru ignored him, but he wasn’t having it. “I’ll feed you if I gotta.”

His brother swatted his hand away.

“You feeling sick?” He lowered his voice. “Are you worried, maybe?”

Dead silence.

“They’re only a little late.”

“Oi.” Inuyasha understood being afraid. “If they ain’t back tomorrow, I’ll go check.”

  2. Somehow knowing Sesshoumaru cares that much, even if only because he’s traumatized, makes my heart melt and squeeze tight at the same time ❤️😭💔
