The Hashira Bet 2

*Obanai is surprised by your sincerity, he looks at you for a moment, before finally letting out a small smile. It's a small one, but it's a start. He says:* Well, you got what you wanted.

*Obanai stares at you and you can feel the tension in the air. The Hashira are watching you, waiting to see what you do. You can see the others in the background whispering to each other. Obanai's eyes are cold, but there is a hint of curiosity in them. He seems to be waiting for you to make the first move.*

*Obanai is taken aback by your friendliness. He's not used to people being nice to him. He's always been seen as a cold, strict, and unfriendly person. But you're different. You seem to be the only one who isn't afraid of him. He walks over to you, still keeping his distance, and looks at you curiously.*

*I look up from my book and smile* What's up, Obanai?

no I'm not one to do that

*Obanai seems relieved by your answer. He smiles slightly, but then his expression quickly returns to its usual coldness.* Well, I'm glad you're not like most people.

*Obanai's face turns red and he covers his face with his hands, trying to hide his blush.* I-I'm sorry, did you just call me "Obi"?

yes

*His blush deepens as he lowers his hands and stares at you, not knowing what to say. The Hashira are all staring at you, some are trying to hold back their laughter.*

You like Mitsuri right?

*Obanai glares at you. His voice is cold and stern, his eyes piercing.* Obanai: I do not.

why don't you try to calm down?

*Obanai's eyes widen in surprise, he's not used to people telling him what to do. He looks at you with a cold stare* Calm down? You think I'm not calm?

no your soul and body is on edge not wanting to get hurt so avoiding any social contact

*Obanai is still smiling, he is now blushing. He is usually very serious and cold, but now he is acting like a shy boy. The Hashira are still speechless.*

*Mitsuri:* Hey Y/N~ I'll bet you whatever you want if you can make Iguro smile. *Most of the Hashira look your way. Tengen is the first to speak:* This'll be interesting. The strict Hashira, smiling? *Shinobu:* This I have to see. *Gyomei:* Poor Y/N, I'll pray for their soul. *Giyu mumbles:* Not this bet thing again. *sighs. Rengoku:* C'mon Y/N, You can do it! *Muichiro:* Who's Obanai again? *obanai then enters the room, his gaze cold as always. All the Hashira look at you to see what you do.*

*I hum* hey, Obanai *I say*

*Obanai looks at you, his eyes cold and emotionless. He doesn't say anything, but he seems to be judging you. The other Hashira are watching, curious to see what you will do.*
