The chilly breeze of the night blew on the faces of Y/n and Esdeath's as they enjoyed every last bit of it.

"Kill Akame tomorrow night, you say?" y/n asked looking up at the now, dark sky.

"We can have the Jaegers create a diversion," Esdeath said, placing her cap down next to her

Y/n saw her touching the strings of the guzheng, trying to figure out a melody. Everyday he found her more and more mesmerising.

While she's fixated on Tatsumi, he has been in love with her for as long as he could remember feeling that way.

He'll spend his entire day with hatred inside him, but all of that fades when he has her around.

Of course he keeps it to himself. No one knows how he feels for her. It's not that he's afraid of getting rejected but this trust and connection between them meant so much for him.

The only person who's been there for him and helped him grow strong while his sister was gone was Esdeath. This relationship meant so much to him and it wasn't easy for him to hide something that powerful.

Those stunning eyes met her for a while, her smile faded and her face turned into concern, "is everything alright?"

He blinked and immediately looked elsewhere, "Y-yeah was just um daydreaming."

She stood up, putting in her cap, "I must be on my way now."

"Uh-" Y/n stood up as well, "it's really dangerous for you to—"

She chuckled, "I'll reach the Palace as quickly as I got here."

She moved forward and Y/n took her hand, "I must insist. Even as the empire's most powerful warrior, things can be pretty ugly out here."

Esdeath looked down slowly to his hand holding hers, making him release her hand quickly, "sorry." He apologised.

Esdeath smiled, "trying to look out for me?" She chuckled, "You're an incredible friend, Y/n."

"Friend..?" Y/n muttered, getting lost in thoughts.

"Yes. You're not only my right hand, or a comrade. You're a friend," she glanced at you, flashing a smile, "my one and only."

Y/n smiled and nodded, "T-thank you. It's an honour." He thought it wasn't a great idea making her spend the night with him so he mustn't insist, "Well, then. Goodnight, General." Y/n smiled, "take care."

"See you in the morning, Y/n," She said and walked away, her figure disappearing in the darkness as she kept leaving.

Y/n sighed and took his guzheng inside, closing the door behind him.

"Pathetic, Y/n," he whispered to himself looking at the small mirror inside his bathroom. He slowly removed his kimono and got into a comfy pyjama.

He cooked something to eat before he laid down, hoping to fall asleep.

It was morning and the teen couldn't sleep well all night. Tatsumi found himself being wrapped tightly by the blue haired general.

Before he made a move to untangle himself from her arms and legs, she woke up.

"Good Morning, my love!" She exclaimed and squeezed the young man.

"Ah!" He yelled, "yes—morning—can you please stop squeezing me!" He exclaimed, struggling to breathe.

"Of course as soon as I'm done!!" Esdeath exclaimed, blushing as she held him tightly.
