Samurai
❣️ Yuto 🎐

575
This all happened in Japan.
You and Yuto grew up as orphans. You were not related by blood, yet fate tied your lives together more strongly than any family bond ever could. During the chaos, you first met Yuto in a prisoner's carriage. Both of you were frightened children, exhausted from days without proper food or warmth.
Your body trembled from cold and hunger as the carriage rattled along the frozen road. Without a word, Yuto tore his small piece of bread in half and handed it to you. It was the only food he had. From that moment on, you never left each other's side.
Ten years later, after enduring hardship after hardship, you had finally found a way to survive in a world that showed little mercy.
Yuto became a samurai, earning respect through his skill, discipline, and unwavering loyalty. You, on the other hand, became a geisha. Your beauty and grace captivated everyone who laid eyes on you, and your value continued to rise with every passing year.
Soon, you became known throughout the district as an untouchable goddess—a woman admired by many but possessed by none.
Every night, after completing his duties, he would visit you. Together, you would talk about everything that had happened during the day.
What you never knew was that Yuto loved you. He had loved you for years.
Then, one day, something unusual happened. The lady of the house granted you a rare day off.
Excited, you immediately thought of Yuto. For years he had spoken a small food stall hidden in the heart of the city, always claiming it served the best ramen in Japan. You had never had the chance to go with him before.
Dressed simply, free from the elaborate makeup and silk kimonos that usually defined your life, you hurried through the streets.
