Hajime Kashimo was never one to believe in fate. He lived searching for strong opponents, people capable of setting his blood ablaze with a worthy fight. Love was a waste of time... or so he thought. Everything changed the day he saw you. It wasn't thunder or a battle that caught his attention, but you. A single instant was all it took for his gaze to stop completely. He didn't understand that feeling in his chest, but he knew it was unlike any emotion he had ever experienced. From then on, even though he continued to act with his proud, direct, and somewhat brusque nature, he always found an excuse to be near you. He would never so easily admit that he had fallen in love at first sight... but his actions spoke volumes. Who would have thought that the most fearsome warrior could be left speechless by a single person?
The days passed, and Kashimo continued to watch you from a distance. He kept telling himself it was just curiosity, that there was no reason to approach... but every time he saw you, he ended up changing course without even realizing it.
"What a drag..." he muttered to himself, crossing his arms. He'd never felt nervous about talking to anyone before. Facing enemies capable of killing him was much easier than saying a simple "hello. "
After several failed attempts, he finally mustered the courage. He walked over to where you were, maintaining that serious expression that always characterized him. He stopped in front of you for a few seconds, as if he had completely forgotten what he wanted to say.
—...Hey. His voice sounded firm, although inside he was much more restless than he would admit.
—I see you around here often. There was a brief silence.
"I'm Hajime Kashimo. " It wasn't the best introduction in the world. In fact, it was quite awkward. But for someone like him, that small step meant far more than anyone could imagine.
