Part 5: Baki Hanma Pt2

Yandere various Baki x Afab reader

I have finally had the inspo to finish this part. Sorry for the wait. I haven’t really played around much with Baki’s character so I decided to make him goofy and a little awkward. Just like a little brother 💕

Part 4

…………………………………………………..

“My name is (your name).” (Your name) took Baki’s hand in hers to give it a shake. His calloused hand was incredibly warm and a little sweaty.

Baki marveled at how soft her skin was compared to his. His brown eyes sparkled in awe. “You have some really soft hands… wait! I didn’t mean to sound weird!”

(Your name) laughed when Baki quickly pulled away his hand in embarrassment. The fighter’s cheeks slightly pink as he turned his head off to the side. Baki felt shy under her gaze.

(Your name) grabbed Baki’s hand and gave his knuckles a reassuring rub.

“It’s okay. I know you’re not a weirdo, sweetie.” (Your name) gave Baki a gentle smile, his eyes shined in awe at the pet name. This guy was just like a little kid…

“T-thank you.” Baki whispered before clearing his throat. His brown eyes stared at her hand that was around his. It’s been awhile since he’s held hands with someone like this… he liked it. “Let’s head off to our date, okay?”

Baki lead her over to the pond and over to the dock that held an assortment of swan peddle boats. She’s never peddled a swan boat before… so this would be a first for her.

Baki paid for the boat and held out his hand to her with a big smile.

“Watch your step!” Baki helped her into he seat before climbing in next to her. “If you get tired, I can do all the peddling.”

“But wouldn’t you get tired?” She asked him with a quirked brow but Baki only gave her a smile. The young man patting his muscular legs.

“I have a lot of endurance with these meaty thighs.“ (Your name) had to cover her mouth before she snorted. She didn’t think he’d be goofy.

Baki’s ears turned pink in embarrassment. He hadn’t meant to be so embarrassing to be around. (Your name) quickly noticed his change in mood.

“You’re fine, sweetie. I thought your joke was cute.” (Your name) reassured the younger man with a smile. How did a guy like him have such low self esteem? He was adorable! “You’re too hard on yourself.”

Baki gulped and shook his head before indecent thoughts slipped into his brain. The red head nodded and began to peddle to boat out into the pond. “I only ever had one long term girlfriend but that blew up in flames…”

(Your name) frowned. It seemed Baki might have a lot of baggage he needed to deal with before he got back into the dating scene again. “You can share with me if you’d like. I won’t judge you, sweetie.”

Baki felt his palms sweat when she placed a hand on his arm. (Your name) was so motherly towards him. It was so strange to finally be around such a nurturing energy when he’s never really had a familiar member care for him before. But Baki didn’t oppose it, he welcomed it.

Baki sucked in a deep breath before he shook his head.

“It’s a long story and we barely know each other.” Baki blushed. He turned his attention to the various water fowl in the pond and other people on swan boats. “There’s so many ducks…”

“I think they’re cute.” (Your name) smiled. “They just waddle around and quack. Life would be pretty simple as a duck.”

“Until someone wants to eat you.” Baki mumbled, which caused (your name) to giggle.

“Baki, you’re a simple guy.” (Your name) smiled at the young man. “Never change.”

Baki and (your name) began to share small talk. The younger man was a bit awkward, but he was slowly warming up to her.

For the first time since his break up, Baki felt comfortable around a woman.

.

.

.

The date with Baki went without a hitch. He’d get so flustered whenever her fingers brushed against his or their shoulders touched, but he wasn’t a bad guy at all. Just a little awkward.

Baki was enchanted by her. She patiently listened to everything he had to say and always smiled at him. He was so happy to finally have someone pay attention his emotional needs.

“Thanks for coming.” Baki smiled at her, the young man fiddled with his hands in nervousness. “I had a lot of fun today…”

“I did too.” (Your name) warmly smiled at him. He was such a sweet guy. “Time sure does fly.”

Baki and (your name) walked off the dock, a souvenir shop around the corner caught Baki’s eye. A lightbulb went off in his head.

“One minute!” Baki then dashed into the shop before she could say a word. Yes… definitely like a little brother.

It took less than five minutes for Baki to come back, a small swan plush in his hands. The plush looked so small in his buff arms but it gave Baki a sort of childlike wonder to him. He was adorable… like a little brother.

“I thought you would like this.” Baki smiles warmly, he reached his hands forward to offer her the swan plush. “Do you like it? I just thought it’d be nice to keep to remember today.”

(Your name) smiled warmly. “I love it… thank you, Baki.”

Baki froze when she gave him a small peck on the cheek. His cheeks turned a bright red when their finger tips brushed against each other.

“A-anytime…” Baki scratched the back of his head, his foot rocked back and forth in nervousness. Why was he so nervous around this pretty girl? He was the one paying her for company and yet it felt like he was the one being taken out on a date.

“It was really nice spending time with you.” She gave him a soft look, her eyes glanced over at the bashful young man. Baki was practically putty in her hands already. “Would you care to walk me back to the train station?”

Baki nodded his head and offered her his arm. “Of course! Let’s go.”

Baki really enjoyed his time with (your name), he really wished this was a real date and not a rental. He’d love to get to know her more… perhaps he’ll book her another time and go from there?

(Your name) smiled at the pastel pink screen of her phone. The young woman finally had the chance to go through her phone.

Lately, Katsumi has been blowing up her phone but it was mostly funny memes and the occasional message. She wondered if he had ADHD…

A knock at her door drew her out of her musings. Who could be at her door? She hasn’t ordered anything online recently…

(Your name) looked out of her peephole but no one was there. She slowly opened the door, a large bouquet of red roses on her step.

Who on earth could have given her roses… she hasn’t told anyone her address…

(Your name) scooped up the roses in her arms, the heady floral scent overpowered her sense. These must have cost a fortune and they were even dethorned for her…

A card was on the bouquet and she flipped the black note over to read the elegant gold writing on the back of it.

“Delicate flowers for my delicate lady…” she read aloud. Delicate? There was nothing delicate about her since she only let her dates know the surface of her.

There was only one man who knew the real her and he was locked up in the Arizona State Prison… she missed that suave man sometimes. Usually in the late hours of the night when she was half asleep.

(Your name) shook her head from her thoughts. Now was not the time to think about her old flame, she had an admirer now.

(Your name) glanced around but didn’t see anyone so she accepted the roses and shut her front door.

Meanwhile, Kaoru sat across the street in the back of his limousine. A lit Cuban cigar in his hand, a smile graced his face. He was happy she loved his gift. It was one of many to come.

Kaoru wanted her… and he would have her. What the boss wanted, the boss got.

Katsumi laid in his hospital bed, his body shifted under the covers in nervousness. His hand held the bandaged nub that was left of his right arm.

“Mister Orochi?” Katsumi perked up when he heard his surname, his dark eyes widened when he saw a cute young woman in the door way. A bright smile on her lips when their eyes met. “My name is (your full name). I’m going to be your physical therapist.”

Katsumi couldn’t breathe, he was so enchanted by her… did he just develop an instant crush? No… that was unprofessional. He didn’t have time for a relationship when he had to focus on karate…

“It’s nice to meet you, I’m Katsumi Orochi.” Katsumi smiled at her, his palm a bit sweaty in his nervousness. Why did she have to be so attractive?

“Let’s get to work, shall we?” And with that simple sentence, she unknowingly solidified her place in Katsumi’s life.

.

.

.

“So Katou and I decided to get you a little something.” Katsumi’s friend, Atsushi Suedou, held out a gift bag to him. His best friend, Kiyosumi Katou, snickered and bumped his elbow into Suedou. Katsumi immediately knew this was a gag gift.

“I feel like this is something gross and I’m not sure if I should open it…” Katsumi sighed but Suedou reassured him.

“I mean it is but at the same time… you lost your right arm, dude.”

Katsumi peaked in the bag and immediately turned a bright, cherry red. He couldn’t believe what they had gotten him…

“You guys got me a flesh light?!” Katsumi hissed quietly which only made Katou cackle. Katsumi felt his whole body flush in embarrassment. “What is wrong with you-“

“And lube-“ Suedou put his hand over Katou’s mouth but Katou pushed it away.

“Katsumi, I’ve seen that cute little therapist you eye.” Suedou sighed while Katou tried to cover his mouth to silence his snickers. “You probably have a hell of a time-“

“You have blue balls all the time so we decided to get you a little something since you’re too much of a pussy to ask her out.” Katou cut off Suedou. “Seriously, dude. Just ask her out already.”

Katsumi grabbed one of his pillows off his hospital bed and threw it at Katou. “Get out! Both of you!”

Katou only continued to laugh as him and Suedou exited. But Katou made sure to get one last word in.

“God you’re such a virgin-“ Katou’s face was only met with yet another pillow.

A flustered Katsumi breathed heavily, the karateka held his cheeks in his palm to try to calm himself. They didn’t have to call him out like that…

Wasn’t a man allowed to wait to sleep with someone unless he was in love with them?

.

.

.

Now Katsumi was much more capable than what he lead onto (your name), but he couldn’t bear to not have her near him anymore if he was discharged from therapy. The last two months, he’s grown extremely attached to her… he wasn’t used to such care and he didn’t ever want her to leave. Even if he was just a patient in her eyes, he didn’t see it that way.

Katsumi really liked her… he couldn’t stop thinking about her. Katsumi was tempted more and more to ask her out but he was afraid… he was afraid she’d turn him down.

“I have no idea why you insist on wearing these flannels… there’s so many buttons, Katsumi.” Katsumi shivered when his name fell from her pretty lips. He was finally able to get her to drop the formalities and just call him by his first name. It only served as more fuel for his rampant fantasies of her.

Katsumi blushed when (your name)’s body leaned forward slightly to button all the buttons for him. Her soft fingers brushed against his clothes chest and… he could see her chest from this angle… he just hoped she didn’t look down at the strained erection in his pants. Hell would break loose then. (Your name) did things to him he never thought anyone would have the power to do.

She made his body ache for her. He so badly wanted to press her against the wall and-

“There.” (Your name) smiled warmly at Katsumi once she finished up the final button. The action snapped Katsumi from his salacious fantasies. A victorious smile on her soft lips. “All done. You should be good to go now-“

(Your name) nearly fell over when she tried to rise up too fast but Katsumi was able to pull her to him with his left arm. A bright blush on both of their faces from the proximity of their bodies. All Katsumi had to do was lean forward and claim those soft looking lips…

(Your name) quickly sat up and cleared her throat. “Sorry, Katsumi. I forget how clumsy I am sometimes.”

“I just saved you from some bruises. I wish you’d be more careful.” Katsumi grinned to try to hide the disappointment. He wondered what it would take for her to finally fall for him…

“You worry too much.” (Your name) giggled, the sound made Katsumi’s heart race. Couldn’t she see his love for her? He thought he was quite obvious in his pursuit for her hand… “You’ll get wrinkles if you keep furrowing your brow like that.”

(Your name) was going to kill Katsumi if she kept this up. He was going to explode if he didn’t get her to be his girlfriend soon.

(Your name) glanced at her watch and frowned. “Looks like I have to go to my next patient. Thanks for today, Katsumi. We’ll work on buttons more, okay?”

Katsumi frowned, he didn’t want her to leave… he hated whenever she left his side. “Will I see you tomorrow?”

“Of course!” (Your name) laughs. “See you around, Katsumi!”

Katsumi waved good bye, his hand then clutched his chest to try to calm his frantic heart. She just didn’t know the power she had over him…

.

.

.

Katsumi laid on his bed, his left hand covered his eyes. He couldn’t get her out of his head. She was always on his mind when he was awake and she was always in his dreams when he was asleep. She was inescapable.

Katsumi sat up and snatched his phone up. (Your name)’s smiling face was set as his home screen, a photo he had snagged in secret during their appointments. His thumb lovingly traced over her pretty face.

Katsumi then brought the phone up to his lips to kiss her digital face. This wasn’t enough anymore… he needed more.

Perhaps he should try to get her to become his personal care taker? That way he’d have someone to help cook, clean, bathe, and dress him?

Katsumi blushed at the thought of her seeing him naked. Would she be impressed? He’s been told he has a nice body a few times by his peers… he wondered if she’d think the same…

Katsumi smiled. Yes… he’d pay her triple her pay to take care of him.

.

.

.

“You want me to take care of you?” (Your name) repeated softly, which made Katsumi blush.

“I have a hard time doing day to day tasks without my dominant arm and I trust you…” Katsumi whispered, his eyes shyly glanced at his feet. “I’ll pay you handsomely to be a live in caretaker-“

Katsumi’s face erupted in crimson when (your name) suddenly grabbed his left hand. His breath hitched at the soft expression on her face. Her hand was so soft and so much smaller than his… oh god. Oh god they were touching. Was he going to die? He’s always dreamed of being touched by her-

“Katsumi… I had no idea you were having a hard time! Of course I’ll help you.” (Your name) gave Katsumi’s hand a reassuring squeeze, which snapped him to his senses. There he went again into his fantasies. He needed to get a grip. “I want you to be close to normal again. I care about you, you know.”

Katsumi smiled softly, his heart fluttered. She cared about him? God… maybe they’d finally start to date with time?

.

.

.

Katsumi adored having (your name) live with him. She helped him cook and clean, it was like she was his wife- he did it again! He got ahead of himself.

“Here, Katsumi. I made you some breakfast since you’re not the best at cooking.” (Your name) teased Katsumi as she set a plate of eggs and potatoes in front of him. “You should have told me you had no cooking skills prior.”

Katsumi blushed at her teasing. The young man nervously bounced his leg at the table. He adored her cooking.

(Your name) simply gave him a cute smile and gave him a playful pat on the shoulder. “It’s not a bad thing. I can teach you the basics.”

Katsumi nodded his head and took a bite. He nearly melted at the delicious flavors that hit his tongue. It was so simple but so delicious. He wondered what else tasted good on her- he was being a pervert again. God, he felt gross whenever his mind wandered to thoughts like that.

“Thank you so much for the meal. I appreciate it.” Katsumi smiled at (your name) who beamed at him, his heart nearly exploded at the sight. Why did she have to be so pretty?

“You have to go teach karate at Shinshinkai in a bit, right?” (Your name) asked Katsumi who flushed a bit. She’s only been here a few days and she already knew his schedule? He was so flattered.

“Yes I do. I teach some kindergarteners this morning since it’s Saturday.” Katsumi was shocked to see (your name)’s eyes light up.

“Really? They must be so cute…” (Your name) smiled softly, Katsumi’s eyes wide at the soft expression on her face. Did she like kids?

“Very. I have an especially ornery student but they’re all eager to learn.” Katsumi felt himself puff his chest out in pride. “I teach all ages. The toddlers are even spunkier.”

“Toddlers? My goodness… you get to be around tiny feet and hands all day.” (Your name) giggled, Katsumi felt himself soften into putty. She must really like kids… it made him like her even more, if that was possible.

“Do you want kids, (your name)?” Katsumi softly asked, his eyes darkened at her bright blush.

“One day. I still haven’t met mister right.” (Your name) chuckled nervously, Katsumi felt his breathing stop for a moment. She was single…she was single and so was he… this was perfect. “I’m quite busy with work so I haven’t had time to date.”

“I’m quite busy with karate and filling into my father’s footsteps. So I can understand.” Katsumi felt himself swell with pride at her shy expression. He wondered if she was still pure like he was- he needed to get his head out of the gutter.

“You have a lot going on for you, Katsumi.” (Your name) smiled at him. “You’re a pretty nice guy. Anyone would be lucky to be with you.”

Katsumi blushed at the compliments, his eyes glanced at her bubbly visage. Yes… he’d be sure to be hers. Katsumi won’t settle for anyone else.

“You think so?”

“I know so.” If she opened her eyes, she’d see the determined expression on the man’s face and the obsession that festered behind his eyes.

.

.

.

(Your name) made her way into Shinshinkai. That goofball, Katsumi had forgotten his lunch! So she came down to bring it to him…

The young woman politely took off her shoes and entered the dojo. A tall, muscular man with brown hair quickly greeted her.

“Hey! Are you here for Katsumi?” Suedou asked (your name), the karateka did his best not to show her how jittery he was. Katsumi has a girl here for him… that lucky dog.

“Yes. He forgot his lunch.” If Suedou could float, he would. He was so proud of Katsumi… he’d have to congratulate his friend on such a catch.

“I’ll take you right to him.” Suedou lead (your name) down the hall and into the room where Katsumi was teaching. (Your name) blushed at the cute little kids who practiced inside. Their little hands flailed around as they tried to copy Katsumi’s move movements. Oh goodness this was too cute for her heart to handle.

Suedou smiled and quickly scurried off so he didn’t ruin the moment. He couldn’t wait to tell Katou.

“Hey, no interruptions-“ Katsumi glanced over at the door way in surprise when he realized it was (your name). A neatly wrapped lunch box in her hand. Katsumi told his students to take a break.

He then made his way towards (your name) with a bright smile.

“(Your name)? What are you doing here?”

“You forgot your lunch, silly.” (Your name) beamed and handed Katsumi his lunch box. The karateka blushed as he took the bundle from her hands. She was so sweet… he was so lucky.

“I guess I was in such a rush that I forgot… thank you. I’d be kind of hangry today if you didn’t come.” Katsumi blushed. A lightbulb then went off in his head. “Say… would you like to watch me teach a class?”

Say yes. Say yes. Katsumi’s mind repeated while his eyes studied her face. He anxiously waited for her reply and almost did a flip when she smiled at him.

“I’d love to.” Katsumi quickly lead her over to a bench and knocked his personal belongings onto the floor so she could sit down. (Your name) did her best to contain a laugh from how cute Katsumi was.

“Here you go, malady-“

(Your name) giggled at Katsumi, the man turned a bright red. “Was it something I said-“

“You’re so cute, Katsumi.” (Your name) smiled brightly at Katsumi. The man cleared his throat and turned away from her.

“I… I have a class to teach.” Katsumi then turned around to continue his lesson. (Your name) giggled at how red his ears were. She’d have to tease him more… he was seriously the cutest.

When the class came to a close, one of the kids quickly toddled over to their things only to tumble over with a loud thump. Loud wails soon followed, which made (your name) run over to the little boy.

“Hey… it’s okay.” (Your name) shushed the kid who crawled into her open arms to be comforted. “Let’s see the damage.”

She rolled up the boy’s pants to reveal a small bruise. (Your name) pressed her lips to her pointer and middle finger and then pressed it to the bruise.

“There. I kissed it better so it won’t hurt now.” (Your name) smiled at the kid who was now starry eyed. His little hands held hers, as he blushed. “Does it hurt now?”

The kid shook his head no while (your name) stood up to help him gather his things.

Katsumi stood at the head of the classroom. His hand shoved in the front pocket of his pants to hide the massive and most confused boner he’s ever had. It was so embarrassing…

(Your name) was so good with kids… she was so perfect with them. It made his mind race at the thought of how she’d be with kids of her own… of kids her and Katsumi could have together.

Katsumi could picture it. He could picture marriage and children with her. The perfect domestic life with a beautiful, sweet woman like her. It was what he wanted now.

Katsumi continued to watch (your name) interact with the kids while he helped them clean up from his side of the classroom.

(Your name) was going to be his.

.

.

.

Katsumi locked his bedroom door to prevent (your name) from coming into his room. He was so pent up, he was going insane.

Katsumi couldn’t take this torture. He wanted to pull her into his arms and inhale her scent. He wanted to press his lips on every part of her skin. He wanted to bend her over his mattress in a mating press and breed her. It made him sick with himself. He felt physically ill from the salacious thoughts that ran through his mind everyday.

Katsumi opened his closet and snatched up the gift bag Suedou and Katou had gotten him weeks ago. His hand fumbled to open up the flesh light box but he finally got it open. The karateka threw the toy onto his bed and made quick work on the lube.

He needed to do this or he was afraid he’d fall off the deep end. He didn’t want to come off as a creep but his balls were so blue that he felt as if he’d explode at any second and the last thing he wanted to do was cream his pants in front of her.

Katsumi squirted the water based lube into the toy and placed the closed bottle in the drawer of his night stand. His hand struggled to untie his pants but he was able to finally free himself from the constraints of his pants.

His erection stood proud, a bit of precum leaked from the tip from how eager he was for release. It’s been a long time since he’s masturbated, but he still wasn’t used to using his left hand.

Katsumi sat on the edge of his mattress. Okay… he could do this.

Katsumi sucked in a deep breath and picked up the sex toy. He lined himself up to the toy’s entrance. He closed his eyes as he lowered the toy down on his thick shaft.

Katsumi felt his eyes roll back at the tight sensation, his breath hitched a bit. Fuck… he wondered if (your name) was tight… he bet she was warm and welcoming… if she’d feel so full with him inside her.

Katsumi started to let his fantasies run rampant as he bucked his hips into the toy. He began to imagine (your name) on top of him as he slapped his heavy balls against her pert bottom. Of her head thrown back as she moaned his name. Of her hands holding his shoulders as he pounded into her like an animal.

Katsumi began to go faster, the bed creaked a bit underneath him. He started to imagine her stomach round and full with his baby. Of her tits swollen with milk and a beautiful ring on her finger as she rode her husband’s cock. His cock.

Katsumi thrusted like a mad man, he bit his lip to silence his moans and whimpers. He didn’t want to be caught doing such an explicit thing… such a perverted act while (your name) slept in the room next door.

Katsumi could clearly picture her as the mother of his children and of her being his beautiful, blushing bride. Of her being his and all his to pump every single load of his baby batter into day and night.

“(Y-your name)!” Katsumi came with a strangled cry and a soft whimper. His toes curled into the carpet as he emptied his balls into the toy. He never came so hard in his life… he fell back on the bed with a soft thump. Sweat pooled down his forehead as he tried to catch his breath. A bit of his cum leaked down from the toy and onto his stomach.

Katsumi shivered as he rose up from the bed to clean up the mess he made. He hated how disgusting he felt once his post nut clarity hit but he was glad he got it out of the way… he felt a lot better.

Katsumi fixed himself up and softly smiled to himself. What he wouldn’t do for all of it to be real…

For him to finally obtain the object of his desires. To be with his precious (Your name).

Slam! A fist roughly collided with a sandbag once… twice… thrice. Yet it didn’t feel like enough… it never felt like enough. Katsumi didn’t feel like enough.

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re trying to kill the thing.” Katsumi turned his head to see his adopted father, Doppo, stand in the doorway. “Something on your mind?”

Katsumi sighed before he gave his dad a slight smile. “You got me… it’s about (your name).”

Doppo clicked his tongue. His son has been enamored with that woman since childhood and he still hasn’t confessed… it was kind of depressing.

“What is it this time?” Katsumi sighed at his dad’s question before he tried to give a reading smile.

“Her and I have known each other for so long… I’ve like- no. I can see a future with her. Marriage and kids, the whole nine yards!” Katsumi shook his head and sighed. “I’ve loved her for years and yet… I don’t feel like I’m enough-“

“Katsumi. You’re running the Shinshinkai dojo at your age and you’re quite successful. You’re not bad on the eyes either.” Doppo chuckled. “So why don’t you feel like enough?”

Katsumi nervously shifted his gaze to the dojo’s floor. He couldn’t believe he was about to admit this… “I have a bit of competition-“

“Then grow a pair and confess.” Doppo crossed his arms over one another. The older man cocked his head to the side. “You’re making it more difficult than it has to be.”

“It’s Jack Hanma and Hanayama Kaoru… I’m not as big as they are-“

Doppo loudly laughed at his son’s plight. He was worried over height? Goodness, this was so cute, it was pathetic. “Katsumi, you will live your entire life regretting not telling her you love her.”

Katsumi froze when Doppo put his hand on his son’s shoulder. “And I don’t want you to be unhappy.”

Katsumi gave his dad a slight smile. “Thanks, dad. I’ll confess.”

.

.

.

Katsumi beamed when (your name) arrived to the cafe he invited her to. The Karateka quickly shot up from his chair and embraced her in a hug, his muscular form easily picked her up to swing her legs back and forth. His heart fluttered at (your name)’s joyful giggles.

“You act as if we haven’t seen each other in months when it’s only been a week!” (Your name) gave Katsumi a bright smile, the same smile that always made his knees weak. Katsumi burned her sunny image into his memory.

(Your name) felt a blush crawl on her cheeks from how intense Katsumi’s gaze was. “D-do I have something on my face? You know you can tell me those sorts of things…”

Katsumi chuckled but gave her his signature smirk. “No, you’re just beautiful.”

Katsumi felt his chest swell with pride when her face turned into a shade of cherry red. How cute!

“You’re stupid…” Katsumi and (your name) moved to the table as they went over their menu together. They were childhood friends so there was no awkwardness, only playful banter. The kind that sailed more smoothly than any ship. The two of them were perfect together… and Katsumi just needed her to see that.

Katsumi sucked in a deep breath before he placed his menu down. “You’re probably wondering why I invited you here so suddenly…”

(Your name) perked up and gave Katsumi a smile. “I just figured you missed me. You’ve always been like this.”

Katsumi felt himself fill with hope. Yes… he’s always loved her. Being by her side was second nature to him, Katsumi needed her as much as he needed to breathe. His life would be meaningless without her or karate. She was his other half…

“This is hard for me to say…” Katsumi sucked in a breath. “I love you.”

(Your name) froze when Katsumi confessed, her heart hammered in her chest at his flushed expression. A few of his black hairs now disheveled as he shyly scratched the back of his head.

Katsumi’s pupils were dilated and his breathing was irregular, he was telling the truth… how could she not see it before?

“I have loved you for so many years and I was so scared to lose you. I was afraid…” Katsumi held his hands together. “I promised myself I’d confess if I won my fight with Pickle… but I lost. So I kept putting it off, I was hopeful to show my strength to you. That I was capable of protecting you from everything evil in this world… that I could provide you with whatever you need. It’s why I worked so hard to make the dojo better.”

(Your name) sat there as Katsumi continued to ramble, his face became redder by the minute. “I tried to forget it, but I couldn’t. There’s others that love you too, and I told myself that I’d be happy if you were… but that’s a lie.” Katsumi glanced up at (your name) who remained as still as water. “I would only ever be if you were with me. I don’t want to share you with any other man. I’d go mad if you had a child with another man or called him your husband… so I’m here today to tell you how I feel. I had to tell you or else I would regret it.”

Katsumi reached forward and held her hand. “So what do you say? Is this all one sided-“

Katsumi was surprised when (your name) leaned across the table and pressed a kiss to his hooked nose.

“Katsumi, I like you too.” (Your name) smiled at him. “Why do you think I was rejecting so many guys over the years?”

Katsumi froze before a dreamy smile crawled on his lips. The young man quickly went around the table to pull her into a hug.

The two laughed while Katsumi swung her around. He was so happy… he was so happy (your name) chose him.

There was no telling what extremes he was willing to go for her to say yes… her acceptance just made the entire situation that much easier! He swore he’d make her happy…

If only the two turned to glance out the cafe’s window to see a brooding Jack Hanma out there. And he was not happy.
