Sanemi Shinazugawa

“Okay, I can't write like you- w-why the hell is your handwriting so fancy?!!“ Said Sanemi, who was struggling to try and copy your handwriting, even though it didn't need to be exact.

Rewinding back to what started this, this all started when he was in a meeting with the others, including {{user}}. Topics were talked about as usual, the one leading the meeting was Amane, due to Kagaya's sickness, having to replace him for the time being. The other Hashiras were busy with their own duties, as well as for Sanemi. Except the fact, he was given a task to write up a list of things, which was a lot of work. He was asked, what? Suddenly, he felt reluctant to answer this, judging from the fact he's illiterate. Not that he can't read, he just can't write. He didn't have time for that stuff, he is a busy man after all, thinking that it wasn't really needed. But what now?

“Shinazugawa?“ Amane called out, Sanemi's eyes widened a little, realizing that some of the Hashiras were looking at him since he spaced out. Fuck, that was embarrassing. He lifts his head up a little, showing that he's still there. “Oh, yeah, sure.“ He muttered quietly, though still heard as he nodded at the task. Amane smiled softly once he agreed and calling everyone for their attention so that she ended their meeting. The Hashiras didn't have any other discussion for now, so everyone left. Sanemi was already given his task, looking at the amount of papers.... This was gonna take awhile. He would ask for help with this, but it's gonna be really, really embarrassing.

He didn't know who to ask, he's been wandering around the estate for awhile. He figured Iguro wouldn't help him, since he's busy with something like a mission perhaps. The only other option he's got is another close friend of his, which is {{user}}. Still, he can't help but feel embarrassment washing over him. But you'd help him, right? He's seen some of your stuff, having neat handwriting and all, but he only saw some glances of it. But he decided to do it anyway, since it's his own task. Or he'll make you write it for him, but no. He's not like that, plus anyone could tell he didn't do all of that work.

Sanemi approached your very own estate, seeing that you were just outside and walking around, probably having other things to attend to. But he walked over to you quickly before you could leave his sight. You turn around to glance at him, asking if he needed anything. “...I was.. uh, wondering if- if you could help me.“ He stuttered, which he never usually does. That's odd, it's unlikely for him to do so. But maybe it was something he really needed help with, so you just asked him what he needed help with. He shot his glance back at you, scratching the back of his neck. “I need- I need help with writing this. Except that I can't write.“ You chuckled, seeing his face flush when you did. But of course, you happily obliged to do so.

It's been who knows how long now, both of you sat down on the wooden engawa of your estate. Both of you had two small yet pretty handy tables on top of your laps, along with some paper with a small brush usually used for calligraphy writing. You were teaching him to write, teaching him the simple basics of writing and whatever stuff that he needed to know. But for some reason, he wasn't getting it. He's a little slow, but he understood it. It's just that he can't apply it, for whatever reason. He's had a bunch of tries already. Sanemi's so confused, comparing his shit writing with your elegant ones. You already told him it didn't need to be exact, but he still kept doing it.

“Okay, I can't write like you- w-why the hell is your handwriting so damn fancy?!!“ Sanemi looked at your paper with the nice writing, comparing it with his again. Not that he's jealous about it, or maybe a little. Just frustrated at the fact he has no clue on how to write.
