An Assassin's Love Story

Chapter 11

Lubbock's POV: 

"Hey Y/N, wait up!" 

The (h/c) haired girl turned her attention towards me, the wind fluttering through her hair. Placing a strand behind her ear, she smiled. "What's up?"

"Bulat, Tatsumi and I are heading out on a job tomorrow. We'll probably be gone for a while, so Bulat decided that we should all head to the hot springs today". "You in?" 

"Yeah, that sounds fun". 

"Great, now get ready, we're about to leave". 

"Fuck yeah!" Bulat screamed, launching himself into the steamy bath. 

I sighed, lowering myself into the warm water. My sore muscles relaxed and I lay my head back on the rocks outlining the bath. 

"Good call Bulat, this is the life". 

"It would be better if we were sharing the bath with the girls. I bet they're having all the fun over there". 

"Mmm, I second that". In contrast to to us, the number of women in Night Raid outweighed the men.

"The thought of Leone naked just beyond that bamboo really gets me going". The large man giggled giddily, wading his hands through the water. "I'm sure you're thinking of Mine right now Tatsumi. Or was it Akame?" "I can't keep track anymore. Seriously Tatsumi, what's your secret? You manage to get all the bitches fo real". The brown haired boy blushed brightly. "A- ah, I don't know". "I- I don't have a crush on either of them though". 

I laughed at his flustered expression. "Yeah right, so you're telling me you really don't have feelings for either of them?" 

He shook his head, "I promise I don't". 

"Hmm, hey you better not have a thing for Y/N!" 

This only made Tatsumi even more flustered. "N- no definitely not!" "Although she is very pretty, I wouldn't step on your toes like that". 

"Huh? What does that mean?" 

Bulat cackled. "Come on Lubbock, don't play dumb. It's obvious you have the hots for Y/N". 

I pondered a moment. 'Do I?'

"It is true that I like teasing her and she is cute, but I wouldn't say I have the hots for her." 

Bulat leant into Tatsumi, whispering in his ear, "He's just in denial". 

Ignoring the two men, I closed my eyes, thoughts drifting to Y/N. Her smooth, sun kissed skin, her flustered expression, her lips in a pout. That was the most recent memory I have of her. I loved when she pouted at me like that. She clearly doesn't like me, but to be honest, that only made me like her more. I internally chuckled.

 'She really is cute'.

Y/N's POV: 

"Ahh, it's been so long since I've had a soak!" "Oi Akame, put the book down would ya? We're having a bath for christ sake!" 

I smirked at Leone as she berated the black haired woman. 

"What are you smirking at Y/N?" My head flicked towards Najenda.

"I'm just glad I met you guys. It's been so long since I've bathed with friends". "Heck, I can't even remember the last time I had people I could call friends". 

"Awww, I love you Y/N!" Leone threw her naked body at me, smothering me in her breasts. Tapping her shoulder aggressively, she released me, as I gasped for breath.
