Feeling's Mutual ( HANCOCK X FEMALE READER )

Chapter 59 - Desires

The next day dawned with a sense of nervousness. It was a heavenly feeling to wake up beside the woman of your dreams. I wish I wake up every damn morning and the first I see when I open my eyes was her and the last when I close my eyes.

Hancock had decided to take a day off from work, eager to spend quality time together and relieve tension that had settled between us. "I noticed the living room is quite... sparkly, anything to do with that?"

"... I cleaned..." I mumbled.

she gave me a happy grin. "My, I knew it. You really are a clean freak hm."

"shut up," I say rolling my eyes.

I cooked eggs and bacon for the both of us with a glass of orange juice. "Such a cutie," Hancock teased, eating her food.

"What can I say, I love doing things around for you," I say sitting down beside her as we ate together.

However, my phone buzzed. I checked and it was a text from... Hina Sensei

As I read the message, a conflicted frown marred my expression. "Training today. Be there ASAP. It's essential," the text read. Wednesdays were typically my free days, and the frustration of being told to attend gnawed at me. I don't understand why I need to go.

Hancock looked at me with concern. "Everything alright?"

"Um... we have a sudden meeting today," I replied.

"Oh... must be important then if they want you there on your day off."

I sighed "...  I'll be back by dinner, I promise."

Her disappointment was obvious, but she nodded understandingly. "Alright, Y/n. Just make sure you come back, okay?"

"I will," I assured her, planting a kiss on her forehead before heading out.

The Corp's training facility buzzed with activity as I arrived. Hina Sensei awaited, her posture confident, and her gaze piercing. As we began the session, it became obvious that today's training was different — more intense, more concentrating.

During my combats with my team, I couldn't help but take a glance at Hina. She was sparring with another team, her moves, her techniques were surreal. I never sparred her before but I bet if I do... she would land a hard blow on me.

Her eyes eventually took a quick glance at me as I was suddenly flipped by my partner, my ass up above my head. I exhaled slowly before seeing Hina Sensei lending me a hand. It'd be weird if I deny it in front of everyone, so I did. "Thanks."

"You seem.. distracted these past days," she say, crossing her hands.

"Yeah, just had a lot on my mind lately," I replied, attempting to downplay the uneasiness that had become a constant bother.

Hina's eyes bore into mine, a knowing look in them. "Personal matters, perhaps? Something you'd like to share with your esteemed Sensei?"

I hesitated, torn between maintaining privacy and the curiosity that lingered in her gaze. "It's nothing, Sensei. Just... life stuff."

She smirked, her expression implying she saw through my attempt to deflect the conversation. "Life stuff, huh? Well, remember, Y/n, the training facility is a place for focus. Personal distractions can be detrimental."

As the training session continued, the unease between Hina and me wavered. Every interaction seemed to carry an undercurrent of tension.

as I prepared to leave the facility, Hina intercepted my path. "Y/n, a moment, if you will."
