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

Chapter 8: The Morning after

The next morning Zenitsu woke up alone in his bed, for a moment he thought he had imagined the night before. He was a little sad until he heard someone humming in the kitchen and he noticed the buttoned up shirt he was still holding onto. He held it up, it wasn't his and it smelt like Uzui. Zenitsu got up, changed his shirt and quickly brushed his hair. He left his room and followed the sound to the kitchen where Zenitsu saw a shirtless Uzui cooking as he hummed. Zenitsu took a minute to look at his fated mate but before he could make a sound Uzui stopped humming.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Uzui said still cooking.

"Go...Good morning. How did you know I was standing here?" Zenitsu asked.

"I could smell you." Uzui rubbed his nose slightly, causing Zenitsu to blush. Uzui being able to smell him ment that his scent was leaking. "How did you sleep?"

"Good." Zenitsu said, sitting at the dining room table near the kitchen. "How did you sleep?

"I slept quite well with my cuddly mate." Uzui said with a small chuckle. He walked over to Zenitsu carrying two plates of food.

"Oh...I'm sorry I didn't mean to be so... clingy." Zenitsu said as he looked down at the food in front of him. "Sometimes I get hit with a feeling of depression and I don't want to be alone." Uzui recalled how Zenitsu clung to him and asked him not to leave. He was more than happy to help his mate anytime he needed someone. That was part of his job now, because an alpha's job was to love and care for their omega in any way that they need. "I'll try and do better next time."

"Hey now, that is not what I meant. I love being close to you." Uzui made Zenitsu look at him. Zenitsu looked so sad and this broke Uzui's heart. He didn't want Zenitsu thinking that he was unhappy that his mate needed him. It was the opposite really, he was so happy that Zenitsu relied on him. "Ok?"

"Okay. Thanks for the food." Zenitsu said as he picked up the toast in front of him.

"Anything for you." Uzui also started to eat. The two of them continued to eat and do the usually small talk. It felt natural to Zenitsu to be doing this with Uzui.

"Hey Uzui can I ask you something?" Zenitsu said.

"Sure." Uzui stopped eating and looked at his mate.

"What's your first name?" Zenitsu said with a small blush.

"Tengen, why?" Uzui asked with an evil smirk.

"No...Nothing. I realized that I didn't know it." Zenitsu said looking anywhere but his still smirking mate.

"Hmm...You know I wouldn't mind hearing you call me by my first name." Uzui said, making his mate blush even more.

"Maybe...Someday." Zenitsu said, looking at his mate finally. The two of them finished eating their breakfast. Zenitsu got up then walked over to the coach and sat down. Uzui followed close behind.

"So what do you want to do today?" Uzui asked as he wrapped an arm around his mate.

"I don't know. I didn't really have plans for today." Zenitsu said.

Uzui opened his mouth to speak when the front door was roughly flung open. Inosuke walked in with a girl walking right behind him. Zenitsu recognized her immediately as Nezuko Tanjiro's little sister. She was dating Inosuke so she would often come over to their house. Inosuke seemed to be completely ignoring what was going on around him and Zenitsu was a little glad about that. But of course Zenitsu was never all that lucky.

"Hey Zenitsu...oh." Said Nezuko as she looked at the still half naked Uzui for a moment before she started to grin. "Hi you are?"

"I'm Uzui Tengen and I'm Zenitsu's mate. Oh and Inosuke boss." Uzui said keeping a tight grip on Zenitsu who was bright red.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Nezuko Inosuke's girlfriend and Tanjiro's little sister."

"It's nice to meet you as well. Now if you don't mind I am trying to decide what to do with my mate on his day off." Uzui said looking at Zenitsu who was so bright red Uzui swore he was a living tomato.

"Don't mind us, we're just picking up a change of clothes for Inosuke." Nezuko said with a smile and went to find Inosuke who had made his way into his room during the conversation.

"I'm so embarrassed I could die." Zenitsu said.

"It's fine she seemed nice." Uzui said, kissing Zenitsu's cheek. "Anyway, what should we do today?"

"I have no clue." Zenitsu buried his head in Uzui's shoulder. "Is there anything you want to do?" Zenitsu asked his mate.

"Hmm...Let's go see a movie and go shopping." Uzui said with a big smile. He was just happy that Zenitsu hadn't denied he was his mate. He was embarrassed but he didn't seem mad that Uzui told Nezuko that he was Zenitsu's mate.

"Okay but first can you put a shirt on?" Zenitsu said as he keeped his face buried in Uzui's shoulder.
