She's Into Him

I crossed my arms on my chest and sighed. "Tell me, Killu... How can I have you?"

At first he was just smiling. But then that smile turned into a smirk-a rather devilish one-as he looked me up from head to toe. "You're just a stupidly simple girl. You're not strong, just weak. You're clumsy and stupid. Plus, you tend to nag a lot. I don't even know why they chose you as my fiancée. You're not even an assassin." I closed my eyes shut and breathed heavily to prevent myself from stabbing him with a butcher knife-although I know he could evade it anyway even if he's asleep.

"But..." I quickly opened my eyes to look at him.

It was faint and small. But I saw it-well, kinda. He smiled at me. He rarely does that to me nor the others. But this time, I got to see it again.

"Maybe I could give you a chance."

I smiled from ear to ear at his words. Will I finally...?

"If you could pass this year's hunter exam."

And I literally jaw-dropped.

"W-WHAT?!"
