Masamune: "What are you up to?" The whisper of my beloved's voice in my ear made my heart skip a beat.
Mai: "Masamune!" When I looked up, I found myself face to face with the very man we were supposed to be tailing in secret. "How did you--?"
Masamune: "You were way too obvious. Definitely not cut out to be a spy." As my eyes widened with shock, Masamune grinned down at me. He's starting to sound like Mitsuhide. Wait, where is Mitsuhide?
Mai: "Mitsuhide?" I spun around but discovered that Mitsuhide was already long gone. When did he slip away?
Masamune: "So?" Casually resting his hand against the wall beside me, Masamune cut off my escape route. "Want to tell me what's going on?" Tilting his head to the side coyly, Masamune peered into my face.
Mai: "I'm sorry for sneaking around. I was just curious." His amused smile made my heart race giddily, but I still felt bad about following him in secret.
Masamune: "Well, I think I understand the situation. Mitsuhide roped you into it, right?" Masamune brought his lips right up to my ear. Uh-- "But-- If you wanted me to pay more attention to you, all you had to do was ask." His sweet, sultry whisper made my heart pound like a drum in my ears.
Mai: "But, I mean-- Yesterday, you didn't tell me the truth." When I turned my face down sheepishly, Masamune hooked a finger under my chin and tilted it back up.
Masamune: "Even if it's just Mitsuhide, I don't like the thought of you hanging out with another guy."
Mai: "Uh!" Before I could say anything, he had captured my lips in a passionate kiss. Releasing my chin, Masamune took hold of my hand. He held it against the wall above my head as he continued to kiss me with insatiable desire.
Mai: "Mm-- ah--" The feverish tip of his tongue was soon drawing moans from the depths of my throat. He's jealous, is he? Feeling like I was floating on a cloud, I kissed him back just as desperately. But as our urgent kissing continued, my knees turned to jelly and I could barely stay on my feet.
Mai: "Masa-- mune--" Realizing I was about to collapse, Masamune put his arm around my waist and held me close.
Masamune: "I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth. That must've had you worried." His gentle eyes gazed at me lovingly.
Mai: "No, it wasn't worrisome. I was just curious, that's all. I was curious to find out if there was a side to you that I didn't know." A soft smile appeared on his face as I told him the truth. And then he gave me one more, playful kiss.
Masamune: "When we get home, I'll tell you exactly what I did today.
******************
When we arrived at his manor, Masamune said he had things to prepare and disappeared somewhere. After waiting alone for a while in his room, the door opened and he reappeared.
Masamune: "It's ready." Masamune was carrying a small, clay pot.
Mai: "Masamune, what's that?" I peeked into the pot curiously. Rice porridge?
Masamune: "This is supposed to be good for your health. I learned how to make it at the place I first stopped today." The place he went first? Oh yeah. I recalled seeing teetotaler Masamune emerge from the kitchen of a tavern "The owner of that place is an expert in medicinal cooking."
Mai: "I see. But why learn to make something like this in the first place." Is he trying to eat healthier, or something?
Masamune: "For you, of course!"
