“You make me feel safe,” with Hanzo. Maybe not what you were hoping for, but I liked it so much that I feel like continuing this at a later date…
It started when Hanzo saved you from a charging bear in the woods. His red spirit dragon scared it off. The bear charged in the opposite direction. It would have been funny had you not been vibrating with adrenaline. He pronounced you a foolish mortal and carried you in a fireman’s hold right out of the forest. You weren’t sure if being caught by a demon was the lesser of two evils (the other being attacked by the bear, of course). But he let you go, unscathed.
You tried to take that shortcut through the woods on the way home again a few days later. You had had a few drinks. Some liquid courage (or foolishness, depending on who you ask). You were high on the idea of seeing the demon again. You hypothesized that he wouldn’t let any harm come to you while you were in the forest.
Hanzo carried you out again, with you slung over his shoulder. His bare skin was hot against your drunk self’s overheated skin. He placed you back on your feet at the entrance to the trail.
“Ohhhh, strong,” you gushed, impressed.
Hanzo grunted.
He waited for you to continue in your way. You stood there, staring at his dark-skinned face, the tattoos across his skin, the mysterious, pupiless eyes, becoming more and more attracted by the second.
The alcohol went to your head.
“Kiss me!” you demanded.
You were smiling, swaying a bit but regaining your footing. The roots of those trees were trying to trip you, damnit!
Hanzo’s glowing eyes narrowed, and he looked about to tell you no.
So you stole a kiss, jumping up to give him a sloppy peck on the lips. Hanzo was shocked. Round, white eyes and open mouth. He stayed where he was while you walked away.
“Okay, I’ll go home now!” you called over your shoulder.
You woke the next morning to find him lounging at your kitchen table, drinking tea. Like he lived there.
“You have poor taste in tea,” Hanzo said.
“I…what? Why are you here? To insult my tea?”
Hanzo sipped his your tea and then placed the mug back on the table.
“You are so foolish, that I am going to have to haunt you to keep you from getting yourself killed.”
When what he said sunk in, you sat down across from him.
“Does this mean more kisses?” you asked, grinning.
“Maybe,” was all he would give you for now.
