Chapter 3-Mating Process

Yet I kissed him.

Willingly.

And I fucking liked it.

I let out a growl as me and Monspeet continued to battle out this training session, my embarrassment boiling over.

"You've started falling for him, haven't you?" Monspeet questions, catching me off guard. This gave him a chance to punch me in my gut, not too hard but with enough force to nearly knock me off my feet.

I coughed a bit and stumbled backward, clutching my stomach as I winced.

"You're going to die on the battlefield if you keep this up, do you want to continue to be weak? If you're going to be the Queen of the Demon Realm, you must get stronger. I'm just telling you how it is." Monspeet warned me.

"If you keep your head wrapped around Meliodas, I doubt you'd be able to overpower me this session."

I grit my teeth at Monspeet's words, maybe he was right. No, he was right, I couldn't keep my head wrapped up in how I felt.

But the last thing I'd hear is that I'm weak or won't be able to do something.

"The last thing I am is fucking weak! After what I went through...and you of all people know that Monspeet." I tell him before standing up straight and rushing forward.

I connected a fist with his jaw as I drew in closer, catching him by surprise but he's fast as well. Monspeet swung his fist at the side of my rib cage that I nearly blocked and we faced on.

Our flames grew bigger in heat and size as we continued, at this point some of the other Ten Commandments members who were coming in for training were captivated by battle.

"It's something to consider Y/N! You either let it build you! Or destroy you! Increase your self-esteem!" He tells me as I overpower his fire blast with my own, beginning a fury of attacks.

At this point, I hadn't realized my flames were a darker red.

"I know! Okay!" I say, clasping my hands and slamming them against Monspeet's head before kicking him back against the pavement.

I began panting, staring at my cousin who was on the floor, his cape burnt and his face in shock.

"I never saw flames like that...I was taunting you on purpose but I never expected this.." Monspeet explained.

Taunting me?

Monspeet sighed and stood up, limping over to me before patting my head.

"I want you to remember how you felt in that moment and explore that power from within you, especially since you can manipulate the temperature or type your Hell Flames. I know things I said must've angered you but...I'm proud of you Y/N." He says, a small smirk on his face.

I sat there in awe, unsure of what to say.

"I've been shitted on my entire life by my parents...that means a lot to me, I'm going to get better and I want you Monspeet. I'll remember this moment..thank you for being proud of me. I love you." I chuckle, tearing up from the bittersweet moment.

"I love you too little cousin, I'm always here for you, no matter where we are," Monspeet reassures.

The other members began focusing on themselves seeing the situation die down, making me and Monspeet shake our heads at how nosy they were.

Bringing Monspeet in for a hug, he groaned but hugged back despite not being a hugger.

"Thanks for training me."
