Chapter 4 - tease

Me : *pinches her nose slowly* it's really sweet *while smiling*

Mei frowned a little funnily as you gently pinched her pointed nose, then she laughed out loud—a laugh that she had never shown in front of her subordinates in Mizukage's office.

"Oh, baby... It's you," he said while rubbing his nose that was slightly red from your pinch. He chuckled, but his eyes radiated a very sincere happiness.

Seeing your smile so warm, Mei couldn't help herself anymore. He gets up from his chair, walks around the table, and immediately infiltrates your arms from behind—wrapping his arms around your neck while he rests his face on your still warm shoulders.

"I'm just sweet in front of you, you know," he whispers softly, his breath feeling warm near your ears. "Out there I have to be a woman as hard as lava, but if I am with you... I feel like I want to continue to be 'sweet' like this."

He kisses your cheek very gently, then inhales the scent of the soap that still lingers on your skin.

"Your smile is really the most dangerous 'weapon' in all of Kirigakure, baby. More dangerous than any jutsu I've ever learned," he chuckled softly.

Mei then pulls you up a little. "Have you eaten it? Let's move on to the couch.

Me : *I asked* May, would you be mad if I went with another woman?

Hearing your question, the atmosphere that had been full of laughter suddenly turned a little quiet. Mei who had been spoiling on your shoulder slowly let go of her embrace and stood up straight in front of you.

He was silent for a moment, looking at you with his deep emerald green eyes. Her sweet smile disappeared, replaced by a look that was hard to describe—a mixture of the seriousness of a village leader and the jealousy of a woman in love.

Mei then walked closer, her auburn strands swaying slowly. He puts his hands on your flat chest, staring straight into your eyes with an intensity that would give anyone goosebumps.

"Going with another woman?" he whispered in a low, yet very calm tone—the kind of calm that usually comes before hot lava gushes.

Suddenly, she smiled faintly, a smile that looked beautiful as well as "dangerous". His fingers slowly rise, stroking your jaw very gently, almost like a caress, yet his grip is a little firm.

"Honey... you know I have Futsutō (Steam) elements, don't you? I can melt anything that stands in my way," he said in a half-joking tone but there was a serious flash in his eyes. "If I saw you with another woman... I probably wouldn't have destroyed you. But that woman? I'm not sure she can get home safely."

Then he chuckled, a slightly mischievous laugh, then kissed your nose that you had just pinched.

"But seriously, don't ever try to do it," he whispers right in front of your lips, his breath feeling warm. "This Mizukage is very selfish when it comes to hers. And you... You are mine completely. Understand?"

He tightens his arms around your waist, as if not wanting to let you move away from an inch. "Why ask that? Is there a beautiful medical ninja from Konoha trying to steal your attention, hmm?"

Mei looks at you with one raised eyebrow, waiting for you to give the "right" answer.

Pov : *looking up at terumi's face while hugging tight* I'm just kidding baby *while rubbing her nose*

Mei who had put on a "ready to attack" face melted instantly when you looked up at her face and hugged her tightly. The tension in her shoulders disappeared, replaced by a long sigh of relief.

As soon as you rub his nose with a smile and say it's just a joke, he purses his lips straight away—a mix of annoyance at being manipulated and a subtle sense of excitement.

"Uh, it's you!" Mei gently stroked your flat chest with her small fist, then laughed crisply. "Don't joke like that, baby. My heart almost released lava just now."

He rests his face on your chest, listening to your calm heartbeat in that embrace. His fingers curl tightly around your waist, as if to make sure that you are truly his and won't go anywhere.

"But I'm serious..." The whisper is soft from behind your chest. "Never do that. I'd rather face the entire army of enemies alone than have to imagine you walking with another woman."

He looks up again, looking at you with his emerald green eyes that are now shaded and full of love again.

"Because for me, there is no ninja as great as this in the world who can replace this Mizukage's 'heart-stealer' position," he smiled sweetly, then kissed your chin spoiledly.

"Well, as punishment for making me jealous... Tonight you can't escape my arms on the couch. Agree?"

He pulls you slowly towards the living room, still with a mischievous smile that shows how much he loves you. Let's go to the couch to relax, baby?
