Your ears picked up on the sounds of fighting not too far away as you made your way closer, walking down the peaceful forest path as you neared the training grounds. You stepped out from the line of trees into a more open area as you looked around, spotting two familiar fighters in the distance as you squinted.

Even though you were still a good length from them, you could easily spot Black below, dodging blast after blast effortlessly as the Kai above threw them.

You took a few more steps forward, trying to get a better view as you actually became somewhat caught up while observing the pair. Truly, your attention was far more focused on one man it seemed as you continued to watch the Saiyan practice his skills...

A bright beam of light seemed to appear out of nowhere as you gasped, your eyes going wide while you stood there in shock, unable to move as the ball of energy soared towards you.

In the next instant all you could see was the back of a gray gi as Black smacked the ki blast to the side just in time, sending the attack sailing across the battlefield before exploding.

A small squeak escaped your throat as you cringed from the echoes of the impact, never really liking the horribly violent soundtrack to war and destruction.

"What the fuck was that?!" Black growled, glaring up at his partner while wondering what the hell the other man was thinking.

"I was merely testing your reflexes..." Zamasu replied casually, smirking down at the two of you before continuing. "And it seems everything is in order."

"Fuckin' prick..." The man in front of you grumbled, straightening himself up before turning to glare your way. "And what the hell are you doing out here? I thought I told you to stay away when we're training!" He finished seriously, narrowing his eyes while waiting for your response.

"W-Well, it's already past noon..." You stammered, remembering why you'd come out here in the first place as you took a step back. "I figured you'd be hungry and I didn't want the food to get cold..."

Black continued to glare down at you, almost seeming to be at war with himself over how to react. Even so, coming out here while Zamasu's around is too dangerous... He thought to himself, knowing that the other man was far less forgiving when it came to mortals...

"Rrgh... Come on." Black huffed, finally making up his mind as he walked forward, closing the distance between the two of you easily as you looked up in surprise. 

The next thing you knew, you were feeling kind of like a sack of potatoes as you were scooped up. You blinked a few times, realizing you were under Black's arm as you both blasted towards the cabin. "What?! What are you do-"

"It's faster this way." Black interrupted, chuckling to himself as he took in your flustered expression. You seemed to relax after hearing his explanation, almost making him feel like he was carrying nothing at all as he reflected on how ridiculously fragile your mortal body was...

A second later the man touched down in front of the small house, setting you down on your feet quickly before stepping around you to go inside. The smell of the food simmering on the stove was too alluring, literally drawing the Saiyan towards it as he began serving himself a rather large helping.

You couldn't help but giggle to yourself as you made your way into the kitchen as well, noticing Black digging in already as you received the unspoken compliment. I mean the best reward for a chef was clean plates around them, right?

It was like this normally, or it had been rather for the past month... The routine becoming somewhat familiar to you now as you'd learned from experience what to expect from both Gods.

Black was definitely the more 'easy going' one of the two and that wasn't saying much. Both fighters were stubborn, hot-tempered and hard to coexist with, but the Saiyan man definitely seemed to tolerate you more than the Kai. 

Probably just because I've got a few good recipes up my sleeves... You mused, smirking to yourself as you knew that was your one ace in the hole. Speaking of that...

You walked over to the oven as Black continued to inhale the food from his bowl, removing yet another steaming tray of goodness from it's depths before setting it on the counter.

"I made takoyaki too." You said cutely, popping a toothpick into one of the delicious treats before taking a tiny bite. "Mmm..."

Black's eyes widened the tiniest bit as he watched the doughy ball touch your lips, a faint blush spreading across his face swiftly before he forced himself to look away. He glanced back a second later, unable to help himself as he yanked the entire plate of food his way.

"These are mine."

You laughed lightly as the man hoarding the treats reminded you of a child, making you put your hands on your hips before sighing. "That's fine... I made more."

"Those ones are mine too."

"Black!" You said playfully, actually surprised when the man across the counter smirked back. "I don't think it's healthy to eat too many..." You admitted, placing a hand under your chin while contemplating just that as the Saiyan watched you.

"Don't....... Make them....... So good then." The man argued between bites, shaking his head as he tried to stop himself from getting too familiar with you. She's just a weak mortal... He reminded himself, looking you over as if to confirm that fact. 

Just a weak... Frail....... Beautiful mortal... 

"-Ack!" Black coughed, choking suddenly as the unusual thought made him inhale a takoyaki ball mid chew. The Saiyan continued to cough, smacking his chest with his closed fist a few times while trying to swallow the large piece of food. 

"Black!" You gasped, dashing around the counter quickly before stopping in front of him. "That's why you should chew more!" You rambled on in a panic, slapping your hand against his back a couple of times as you tried to help him.

Whatever you were trying to do seemed to work as you heard the man take a deep breath finally, coughing a few more times before grumbling.

A pair of dark eyes locked onto your own, making you realize instantly how close the two of you were as you felt your fingers still resting against his shirt. His breathing was still coming in short, uneven gasps as he recovered, not really knowing what to say as he grabbed your wrists suddenly.

You couldn't help but feel your own face heating up due to your proximity and possibly the awkwardness of the situation as you took in the unusual expression he was wearing. 

"...Are you okay?" You whispered, not knowing what else to say as you could have sworn you almost saw him moving a bit closer...

"Maybe that is enough for now." Black said under his breath, moving you back a step while standing up from his seat. 

Without saying another word, the Saiyan was gone, disappearing down the hall, presumably to his own bedroom while leaving you wondering what had just happened as you stood there alone.
