          He was utterly confused.

          Sendo Takeshi stood at the doorway of [Your Name]'s apartment, a little stunned at the cold greeting he received fron the woman. He just came back from Mexico after getting a match set up against the man who defeated his eternal rival, Makunouchi Ippo, but he wasn't expecting the treatment he would receive when he came back home. He was planning to share his experiences in the country to the [hair color]-haired lass, but it looks like he wouldn't be able to, with the silent treatment she's giving him. The male stepped inside and followed each movement of the female, but she didn't even give him any attention. It made him a bit pissed off, so he asked her the problem.

"Why the fuck are ya ignorin' me?" he angrily asked [Your Name], but she kept on doing what she has been doing earlier, washing the dishes. "Hey! What's yer problem?"

         But the woman just ignored him again. Sendo tried to calm himself, tried to find some reasons why she was being like that to him, but his annoyance clouded his judgement. He forcedly turned the female to face him, and prevented her from escaping.

"Fuckin' talk to me, [Your Name]. I ain't a mind reader to know why yer mad at me," his voice was low, a little bit upset-sounding, but it was gentler than before. The woman's brow creased and she avoided his eyes. "C'mon now."

She took a deep breath, before she spoke up. "You're— You're really, really so stupid, you know," the female sounded worried, and the irritated expression on the brunet's face was easily erased by that. "Leaving without telling anyone anything. I asked your coach where you are, but he said he didn't know. You weren't coming to the gym for how many days. I asked your grandma, she said you went somewhere but she forgot where it is. It took your teacher to be the one to tell me that you went to Mexico. Fucking Mexico, Takeshi! And now you're asking me why I'm mad. You didn't tell me you would go there. I was so worried. I tried calling you many times but you weren't answering. I tried calling Hoshi-kun as well but I heard he went with you so it was useless. I spent nights thinking where you could be and what might have happened to you, and then I see you just coming here like all of that didn't happen. Do you know how it makes me so mad, huh? You don't know! You don't know anything."

        The woman held her tears back and took another deep breath, as if to calm herself down. The boxer noticed that and felt instantly guilty. [Your Name] cared a lot for him. She was always there to be of support to him, to take care of him whenever he gets hurt. Maybe he really had been a little selfish with his decisions. He hung his head low and spoke up.

"I'm sorry." he apologized, like a tamed cat, his voice soft and low. It wasn't his nature to apologize, but he's now here, saying sorry. Somehow, [Last Name][Your Name] managed to make him do a thing that he usually doesn't do.

          A little while of silence hung in the air, until he hears [Your Name] growling quietly, as if she was annoyed with everything.

"Ugh," she scowled, as Sendo glanced at her. The female lightly hits his chest with her fist several times, before she finally leans her forehead on him, avoiding his eyes. "This is so annoying. You're so annoying. Why can't I be mad at you for so long? Why do you always make me feel weak? It's annoying. You're really so annoying, Takeshi. I should be ignoring you right now. I should be mad at you right now, but I can't. I can't, and this is all your fault."

          The upset woman hit his chest lightly again, as a chuckle leaves Sendo's lips at the sight. It made the girl growl even more in annoyance, while the brunet just kept on snickering at her.

"It's not funny, okay?" she knit her brows in irritation, but the male knows she isn't angry anymore. He just kept on laughing at her. "Stop it, okay? Stop it."

"Fine," he chuckled a bit more, before stopping. His lips soon curved into a smile, as he cupped [Your Name]'s cheeks. "Sorry fer makin' you worried. I won't do it again. I won't leave without tellin' you anymore."

"Really?" her face slightly lightened up at the declaration. "You promise?"

          His usual fierce brown eyes looking all gentle and his smile softening, he slowly closed the gap and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I promise."
