I'm a Yakuza boss's mate!?!

Chapter 4: Agreement

A week has passed and nothing about Zenitsu life really changed. Having a male mate was still weighing on his mind but he was really thinking about it just as he promised his friend. Although he thought that his mate didn't want a male mate either, he was pretty sure that if his mate had wanted him he would have tracked him down by now. But alias nothing had changed he went to school, came home, went to his part time job then repeated. However, the same could not be said for Tanjiro, who's mate found him the next day. It was kind of cute how they reunited.

The day after the bar incident, when Tanjiro and Zenitsu were coming back from university they noticed a car that was too nice for their neighborhood. Out of curiosity they walked over to it, and sure enough when the window rolled down and Rengoku was sitting in the front seat. He tried to play it off like it was a complete surprise he was there, but Zenitsu knew that he was there for Tanjiro. Rengoku then invited Tanjiro to go get coffee so they could talk. Two of them have met every day since.

Zenitsu was currently home alone, Tanjiro had called saying he was going out with Rengoku tonight. And Inosuke was working late at the bar. Zenitsu hadn't really planned anything fancy for his night alone, he had ordered a pizza and put in his favorite movie. Sitting in his Pj's on the couch, Zenitsu heard a knock on the door, assuming it was his pizza he jumped off the couch. And walked to the front with money in hand. Another knock.

"I'm coming. Give me a moment." Zenitsu shouted. He got to the front door and pulled it open.

"How for the..." Zenitsu finally looked up to relieve the last person he wanted to see his mate. Zenitsu moved quick to push the door closed but his mate's foot stopped it.

"Hey now that's not the way we treat our mates. Not very flashy." Uzui said looking at his annoyed mate who's blushing face was so cute.

"I'm not your mate. Move your foot." Zenitsu said as he tried to push the door with all his strength.

"Not official but I know you felt the bond the other night." Uzui said as he easily pushed the door all the way open, relieving his mate. Zenitsu was in black shorts that Uzui thought were a little too short, and a t-shirt that was clearly too big. The shirt Uzui liked, it showed his little mate's nape and hung a little lower showing some of his chest.

"I...Didn't." Zenitsu felt Uzui's eyes on him. He moved to cover his neck with his hand.

"Liar." Uzui leaned in close to Zenitsu. "Are you going to invite me in or do you want to have this conversation here?"

"Come...Come in." Zenitsu didn't want his neighbors to hear this conversation. He just hoped Tanjiro or Inosuke would come home soon. Uzui walked into the apartment and made his way to the living room. He sat down on the couch, Zenitsu sat on the other end of the couch.

"Uzui" Uzui said, making Zenitsu look at him.

"What?" Asked Zenitsu.

"My name, I realized you didn't know it, Zenitsu." Uzui looked at Zenitsu with love in his eyes.

"Oh...Wait how do you know my name?" Zenitsu asked, confused.

"I heard your friend say it." Uzui moved a little closer to Zenitsu.

"Right." Zenitsu said as he picked a pillow and hugged it. "So, what are we going to do about this mate thing?"

"So you admit there is a mate bond?" Uzui moved even closer.

"Y...Yes I do." Said Zenitsu as he shoved his face in the pillow. He hated admitting it but this man was his fated pair, he could feel it in his core. "I also know neither one of us wants a male mate."

"What?" Uzui's tone turned angry. "What makes you think I don't want a male mate?"

"I mean it's been a week. It took you a week to figure out how to turn me down, right?" Zenitsu kept his head buried in a pillow. Uzui thought about it and he couldn't blame his mate for thinking that. But the truth was that Rengoku was supposed to report whether this was the right address for Zenitsu but he was distracted by his own mate.

"No Zenitsu that's not it." Uzui said.

"Then what is it?" Zenitsu turned his head to look at Uzui.

"I was nervous, you kind of ran away the last time. I didn't want to be rejected." Uzui moved some of Zenitsu hair out of his face.

"Oh. I'm sorry I was a little nervous. And to be honest I didn't think that I would want a male mate." Said Zenitsu as he sat up.

"And now?" Asked Uzui.

"Now I think I'm willing to give you a chance. But I can't make any promises. And I'm not property and will not be treated as such." That slightly feisty tone in Zenitsu voice only made Uzui happier with his mate.

"I can accept that for now." Uzui leaned in closer and placed his hand on Zenitsu's cheek. Zenitsu blushed as Uzui leaned in even closer and started kissing his mate.
