Be Mine!

Chapter 1: A feverish beginning

A week has passed since Mine confessed her feelings to Tatsumi, who thought at first that it was some kind of cruel joke, however, the sniper girl was deadly serious about it and proved it with a kiss on the lips that shocked the young man. The pinkette assured him that he was going to fall deeply in love with her, so both decided to become a couple to see if their relationship functioned.

One day, while Night Raid members were still hiding from Esdeath and the Jaegers in the snowy mountains afar from the Imperial capital, Tatsumi got a fever that forced him to stay in bed. Najenda decided to go with Lubbock, Akame and Leone for medicines and food to a town half a day of distance from their camp. Meanwhile, Mine voluntered herself to take care of the young assassin while her teammates were out.

"We are going for food and medicine, we'll come back by the sunset, so take care of Tatsumi, alright?" The leader of Night Raid told to her pink haired subordinate.

"You can count on me, after all I'm now his girlfriend!" Mine exclaimed with confidence. "Oho, so soon and you already want to be alone with him!" Leone teased the short sniper who reacted with a furious blush on her cheeks.

"S-shut up! H-he's sick and is my duty as his lover to look for him!" The pinkette reacted angily towards the blonde.

"Well, if that's the case then there's nothing to be worried right, guys?" The fomer imperial asked to Akame, Leone and Lubbock while having a confident smile on her face.

"Alright Miss Najenda!" The green haired boy exclaimed to the woman he fell in love some years ago.

"It looks like Tatsumi it's in good hands." Akame smiled warmly towards the young couple

"I also wanted to take care of Tatsumi, but i guess we should give the some time alone~" The voluptous woman playfully said as she parted ways with her leader and teammates.

After their teammates were gone, Mine did everything possible to make Tatsumi feel the most comfy posible by covering him with blankets

Tatsumi thought about how the sniper was doing her best possible to take care of him and giggled at this, causing his teammate and now girlfriend to ask him the motive of his laugh.

"Well, you're the least person i would've expected offering to take care of me when i joined Night Raid." The young man replied with a mischievous smile.

"P-people change, you know!?" The pink haired girl reacted with embarrasment in her voice, and Tatsumi apologized to his lover, who also warned him to stop making fun of her or else she was going to unleash Pumpkin on him sick or not.

After a couple hours passed, the sky took a grey tone and snowflakes began to fall in the camp.

"Ugh, I'm having headaches and dizziness.." The young assassin said as he was resting in a tent with Mine at his side.

"Let me check." Act followed, the young girl lifted the curtain hair from her forehaead, closed her eyes and pressed her forehead against Tatsumi's, who stared at Mine's white soft skin and small lips caused the brunette to blush and avert his gaze towards her chest, where he noticed her small but round breasts making him to blush even more.

"You're on fire!" The sniper girl exclaimed in worryness.

Mine quickly went out of the tent for some snow to melt and used it a damp cloth to reduce the fever of her lover.

As the time passed, the weather started to get worst by each minute.

"They are late, what if something bad happened to them..." Mine asked as the night began to fall upon them.

"I don't think so, they will be okay. I'm sure." Despite his strong fever, Tatsumi smiled and grabbed Mine hand, causing her cheeks to flush in a pink tone.

"Well, let's wait for them."

As the night fell in Nigh Raid's camp, the temperatures dropped drastically and a snow storm began to rage outside the tent.

Tatsumi then began to sweat more and mumbled things about Sayo and Leyasu, his childhoood friends. He also mentioned Bulat, Sheele, Chelsea and Susanno, the comrades who died while fighting against the corrupt and evil Empire.

Mine who got a lot worried by this, aknowledged that Najenda and the others were going to delay because of the storm, so she decided to take action to keep Tatsumi cooler.

"I need to lower his body temperature or else he can...!" The pink haired started to undress the young man who noticied this, but was too weak to oppose resistance and just asked the motive of this act.

"W-wait Mine, w-what are you doing!?" The pinkette was too focused on taking the clothes off from her lover to avoid him to enter in shock. She went outside the tent for a moment for even more snow and put more damp clothes all over his body.

"Stay with me!" The pinkette exclaimed with worry as the heir of Incursio lost consciousness.

The next morning, the vast forest surrounding the camp were covered by the white and soft snow from the storm. The young assassin slowly opened his eyes, with no symptoms of the fever from yesterday, but still feeling a little dizzy. He then noticed that his girlfriend was profoundly sleeping beside him.

"Mine?"

"She took care of you all night, you know? Sitting on a chair while drinking a hot tea was Najenda looking at the young couple.

"Boss!?, where are the others?" Asked the young assassin with some worry in his voice.

"Leone and Lubbock went for wood, Akame is cooking the breakfast."

"I see, and when did you came back?"

"Just a couple of hours ago. We were forced to take shelter in the town due to the heavy snowstorm."

"And Mine really took care of me all night?"

"Yeah, i ordered her to rest when i came back. She got very worried about you, but it seems that with her nursing you're okay now"

"She must be so exhausted..." The young man said as he saw with a warm smile in his face at the sleeping girl who confessed her love a few days ago.

"'She can be bossy and rude at times, but she is really a kind and caring girl. Thank you for taking care of me, Mine." Tatsumi said in his mind as he once again looked tenderly at his sleeping girlfriend.

And that's how our young hero began to fall madly in love with the pink haired sniper.
