You were patrolling through the woods again. This time it was just Meera and you . It was a nice day and the first was notorious for hoarding demons hiding from the sun's deadly raise. You glance up seeing a squirrel in the tree. She was holding an acorn while staring dead at you. Her tail quickly flicked to the left causing a smile to grow on your face.
You turned around only to see Tegen trying to sneak up on. He lowered his arms smiling down at me.
"Again Tengen", you questioned.
"No way you heard me", he replied. "I didn't have to", you replied nodding my head towards where the squirrel is. Looking to where you pointed at he saw the squirrel in the tree. The squirrel soon ran away disappearing into he trees. Shaking his head an amused smile came from him before focusing back on me.
"You really understand them", he questioned amused. "Without words yes", you replied. "So how do you understand them", he repeated still confused.
"Why are you here", you questioned. You know just patrolling", he answered stretching his arms, flexing his muscle as he placed his hands behind his head. "I heard you so I decided to say hi", he said.
"Aren't you suppose to be training the slayers today", I questioned. "Decided not to had others thing sot take care of. Beside got the brat Shinazugawa to train them for the rest of the week", he answered. You just shook your head at him.
"He's going to kill them Tengen", you chuckled. "They'll be fine!", he laughed taking a step forward then turning his body to block your path. He lowered his arms now placing his hands on his hips.
"Besides wanted to spend some time with you", he admitted leaning in a bit.
You tilted your head at him. A playful smile curled on to your lips and you crossed your arms.
"Are you saying I'm unable to protect myself Tengen", you questioned. "Of course not sure you aren't as flashy as me but I do see you as a worthy and strong Hashira", he answered. "Although you aren't as flashy there is no denying that you are gorgeous", he finished.
"Are your wives oaky with saying that", you asked causing him to chuckle. "They would shame me for not saying more about you", he answered. "Which reminds me what I wanted to chat with you bout", he said. "Okay, what do you want to chat about", you asked.
"About our little bet", he said taking a step forward to be closer to you. You lifted your head up a bit to be able to maintain contact with him. "The one you proposed", you said. "Not just me my wives too", he added. "I'm aware of the bet", you confirmed.
"Good then you understand the award...", he began reaching a hand out. Curling his pointer finger he cupped the underside of your chin gently lifting your head more. The corner of Tengen;s lips stretched more as his smirk grew.
"..You'll get if you let me win", he finished. You stared him a smile still on your face. You glanced down at his lips then back into his eyes. Tengen caught that look. He could feel his ego swell a bit, he knew he was going to win.
"Bold", you finally spoke.
"Being bold is what I am", he hummed as he leaned in more. "So, what would my award be if I let you kiss me now", you questioned. "Something I know both you and I will enjoy", he answered. You could feel his breath bruised against your lips. Just when his lisp were about to connect you took a side stepped dodging his kiss.
"Tempting, but I'll pass for now", you replied.
Tengen stoppen puckering his lips and leaned back up to his full height. He looked at you with a pout.
"You're no fun", he said. "We'll be going separate ways". you hummed about to walk off. "Already? We just started talking", he said crossing his arms. You stopped walking away from him. You remained quiet as you were deep in thought.
"How quick about a race then", you questioned. "A race? You do know I'm the fastest Hashira", he scoffed. "We ever raced one another till now, that title may be belong me", you replied. A tug puled on Tengen's lip as he chuckled at your confidence.
"Alright then is there a prize at the end", he questioned. "You'll see if you make it to the ned before me", you answered then released a whistle.
Meera walked toward you standing beside you. Lifting one leg one over her back you got on top of her. You sat down on her lower back and gripped the back of her head gently.
"You can suggest whatever prize you want", you informed. "Even a kiss", Tengen questioned. "Even a kiss", you confirmed. "Consider that kiss good as mine", he exclaimed. "Let's stand in-between those two trees", you chuckled nodding you head into the direction of the tree you were talking about. "First to clear a mile wins, you'll know when you see the cliff", you informed. "Alright", Tengen replied nodding his head.
Tengen and you, who was on top of Meera, walked behind the tree that were somewhat align with one another. Tengen and you shared a smile before focusing forward. You leaned down to press down against Meer'a back. She shook her head and crouched ready to take off whenever you told her to.
It was pure silence. The three of you remained still waiting for the signal to go. Once the three of you felt the wind brush up against you the three of you took off. You clung to Meera's back as she weaved through the various of trees.
Of course Tengen was already hards away from you. He planned on teasing you throughout the race, but he knew this would be a good chance to win that kiss.
After a minute he came bursting out fo the rest entering the clearing where the edge of the cliff was. He skidded to a stop making dirt pick up under his feet. When he fully stopped he turned around a confident smile on his face. He crossed his arms as he stared deep into the woods.
"Now we wait", he hummed.
He waited for thirty minutes. Thirty minute soon turned into an hour. An hour soon turned into two hours. He soon got the hint. His eye twitched as he realized you ditched the race.
"Y/n you asshole", he chuckled under his breath as he went back on patrol.
