Just imagine if Snow White was a hunter O_O.

You huffed and lugged your steel bow in your hand.
Hunting was one of the best sports ever and you used to go with Kiragi but he had business with his dad so this time you went alone.

All the prey had gone missing, so you were left with the dew filled trees and a few berry bushes for company.

Then you heard one of the most beautiful singing ever.

'You are the ocean's get waves~♪'
'Destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach~♪'

You followed the music and wa-la! So that's where all the animals went!
Shigure was surrounded by his forest friends as he sat on a stump and sang.

You jumped out of the bushes and shouted "HEY SHIGURE!"

(I'm sorry, I'm just bored)

The animals got startled and ran off.
The rabbits and deers scattered and a turtle trailed behind them.
You swore that was the same turtle that glared at you while you fished in the river yesterday.

The birds flew off leaving bright feathers in Shigure's–already–blindingly, bright, blue hair.

"(Y/n)...I should've known..." Shigure sighed.
You strolled over and gave him a friendly slap on his back, knocking the air out of him "singing again? You should totally come hunting with me next time!" You said "it'll be fun!"
"I'm sorry but I don't find pleasure in killing innocent animals like you and Kiragi do"
"What! We aren't that cruel! We kill cuz the army needs to eat!"
"Well...do you want to paint with me instead?"

You stared at him like you never heard of the word 'paint.'
Who knows? Might be fun.
You agreed "alright! I'll take you up on that! See ya tomorrow!"

~Time skip~

The next afternoon, you made your way to Shigure's tent.
You popped your head in and saw him preparing materials for your paint session.
You took the time to look at his previous works.
They were all beautiful, the way the paint was mixed and the texture of it all. Amazing.

His freshest work was the one placed safely in a secluded corner next to a window.
The painting of a young girl with (h/c) and (e/c) sitting alone quietly under a willow tree near a stream in some woods.
The painting must've took days to complete because of all the different shades and tones that was mixed in.

"Are you ready (y/n)?" Shigure asked taking you out of your trance.
You turned to him "I was born ready! Now gimme some paint!"

~time skip~

An hour later and Shigure's tent was a mess. Paint drops made their mark on his floor, brushes were pressed too hard resulting to it's hair split and bent, as the trash can was full of paper and failed attempts.

Painting wasn't really your thing.

"Uh...sorry about the mess..." You said. The tent really was a mess and would probably take a few days to clean up. You also destroyed his brush set along with his paint getting all the colors mixed up.
"Er..." It was obvious Shigure was trying his best to keep his calm. Which made you feel even worse "l-let's just take a breather outside."

Ah, outside. Finally. Looks like inside wasn't really your thing.
The two of you dipped your feet in the water. The ore underneath the lake sparkled and shined due to the late after noon heat.

(This is Hoshido. I dunno why. Better then ore mines I guess.)

"I'm sorry about your tent, and your brushes and-"
"Shhh"
Shigure cut you off before you can finish.
"Look there (y/n)" he said.
You frowned "there's nothing there" you said. You strained your eyes to look farther.
Shigure laughed "not there. It's right here" he then pointed to the water.
"What about it?" You asked.
"The water is special" he said "it can be rough and violent during a storm but afterwards-"
"It cools down" you finished "like this"
Shigure nodded now beaming " that's right!"

You decided to change the subject. Philosophical things were not your stuff.
"What about that newly finished painting in your room?" You asked.
"What about it?"
"I dunno....just tell me about it I guess."
"Ah" he said. His bright, mild, blue eyes trailed off.
'Uh oh, are we going to take a stroll through memory lane?' You thought.
"That was you."
Your head snapped to him "wat."
"Yes, That was you. When we went to visit you in your deep realm, I found you first. You looked so peaceful and quiet. And the scenery was quite scenic. You were so beautiful and quiet back then"

Somehow, you found that as an insult "beautiful and quiet back then? beautiful back then!?" You asked.
He chuckled "and you still are, even more beautiful. Minus the quiet part"

You blushed at his compliment and decided to leave the 'minus' part.
"Yeah whatever. Of course I am" you muttered blowing a strand of hair out of your face.
"You're just like the water" Shigure said putting his hand on yours. You raised your eyebrow "oh?"
"Yes. You storm so easily yet you cool down so peacefully like nothing happened"
"ARE YOU CALLING ME MOODY!?"
He gave another one of his wonderful laughs "just kidding"
The he closed in on your lips and have a gently peck.

Not exactly the first kiss you would've wanted. You've always pictured it with Kiragi under a tree in the rain cuddling up to stay warm but Shigure was much better then Kiragi anyway.

You turned red and scuttled the other way trying to hide your red face.

He leaned in and whispered.

"And that's what I like about you."

I'm finally done with this! It's been too long! Holy sweet candy head of Saizo!
