10. Memories

"Itadakimasu!" they both called out and proceeded to eat. Tengen couldn't help but fall in love with [name] even more as her cooking was delicious. He then took a good look at [name]'s morning glow, she was beautiful despite just waking up.

How he adores her so much.

"[name], let's get married,"

[name] laughed slightly at what Tengen had just said. She shook her head as she continued to eat, only to realize that he had stopped eating. She then looked at him and noticed he had on an extremely serious look in his face.

"Tengen, is there something wrong? Why are you rushing?" she asked, and that's when Tengen realized what he had just stated. His mind was filled with the memories of [name] dying right before his eyes, and he wanted more than anything to just be with her forever.

"If it's because of the past, then there's nothing to worry right now. It's over already, I'm here, alive, we still have a lifetime ahead of us," she spoke. It wasn't because she didn't want to marry him, but because let's be honest. Only Tengen has a stable income right now, and she has yet to start working. She thought in her head, and Tengen smiled as he realized what was going on in [name]'s mind.

"Alright then, but I'm definitely going to marry you," he spoke and [name] giggled when she realized that Tengen had heard everything that she said. But her eyes then noticed that he was fidgeting slightly with his fingers, and there was a certain look in his eyes.

"You're hiding something aren't you?" she asked, and Tengen was taken aback. It was true, he was hiding something from [name], an issue that he can't let her know until Oyakata-sama has given them permission to do so.

"It's alright if you don't want to say it now, I'll wait," she spoke, and Tengen could only smile in response. How kind and understanding [name] was, from before till now. Something that was difficult to find now in this era.

"It's the weekend, do you have work?" and [name] shook her head.

"Himejima-san said that I will officially start work the following week, so I'm given these two days to familiarise myself with the area, and probably do some shopping," she spoke as she piled up the plates and brought them to the sink to wash them after they were done eating.

Tengen then got up, still clad in only his boxers, he went over to her and hugged her tightly from behind. He then planted a kiss on the back of her head and inhaled her scent. The scent of peach lingered on her head as he realized her shampoo had a peach scent. He then smiled in content, with [name] in his arms, he couldn't ask for anything else.

"You know what... Let's pretend that we're married," Tengen spoke out of the blue, and [name] could only laugh at how desperate Tengen wanted to marry her. She then wiped her hands dry, and turned her body, snaking her arms around his neck and tugging him down, planting a kiss on his lips.

"It's like as if we are having a betrothal," [name] commented and Tengen nodded eagerly. She laughed as Tengen placed his forehead against hers, and nuzzled his nose against hers in a cute manner. Knowing full well that Tengen loves her so deeply, she couldn't resist him.

I mean, who could resist this flamboyant hot man in the first place?

---------------------

[name] clad in a pair of black skinny jeans that ended above her ankle, along with a pair of white canvas shoes, along with a white cropped t-shirt and denim blue jacket, soon exit her apartment, and she soon heard a whistle. Turning, she shot Tengen a look and couldn't help but admire how handsome he looked in casual clothing.

He wore a pair of black skinny jeans that ended above his ankle, just like [name]'s, along with a pair of white canvas shoes. Along with another sleeveless white top, and a denim blue jacket wrapped around his waist.
