As we worked the day away it started to snow, everyone was cold and jittery so Y/N made
semi-portable stoves to keep them warm
Over the weeks Y/N and Senku became practically inseparable
"Hey Senks?"
"Yes my angel?" He braided her hair
"I think I'm going to try to talk some sense into Tsukasa... I truly believe he isn't a bad person, he has his priorities misplaced of course..."
"I'll only let you go if you promise to be safe... I know you're more than capable but I need the reassurance of hearing it"
"I'll be safe, I'll take my great knife and my hatchet okay?" He let out a content sigh
While she's gone I'll make a surprise, one I think we'll both like!
Y/N waltzed through the snow cover valley
Gen watched her leave, after she fully left his sight Hyoga appeared behind him, "Is she going?"
"Yeah she just left"
"Ok thanks traitor!" Hyoga ran to catch her
"Miss Goddess! It would be my pleasure to escort you to the empire-"
"No thanks, I'm busy on a diplomatic mission..."
"Gonna try to talk him out of it?"
"How's you guess?"
"Princess-"
She put the hatchet up to his throat, "Last warning, don't call me that!"
"Forgot!" I didn't forget, this is exactly what I wanted...
He walked beside her, "I said I didn't need an escort, did you not understand?"
"I'm simply walking to my empire! That's all chief"
"I told you I'm not your chief, fuck they're busy finishing the c- secret project... This is going to be a rough trip but if it goes well we need not prep for war"
"Tsukasa loves how devoted you are to them,"
"I would kill for my people, I would die for my people... I would risk anything in exchange for their safety"
"God you're magnificent, please let me take you on a date!"
"I said no once asshole, now I've said no twice, keep going see what happens" she span the hatchet around
You could practically see hearts in Hyoga's eyes, hearts dancing around his skull, steps as light as air
Senku is the luckiest bastard alive
The empire in sight, all the men were working hard and all the women were hardly working
No woman wants to sit around and do nothing all day, the fuck?
Tsukasa built a shrine
"Oi pretty boy! I'm here to talk truce bastard!"
Tsukasa practically came running out, "My Goddess!" He lifted her into the air
"Don't do that" he put her right down
"Do you have somewhere we could sit and talk? I'm really tired from the walk"
This man would do anything, I'll use it to my advantage
"Of course my queen," she took a deep breath
"Maybe not queen-"
"Princess?"
"I hate that one"
"Understood my goddess..."
He had his men bring two stone chairs, a stone table, and some roasted boar
"This is a bit much dont you think? It's not a date..."
He looked a bit sad but he nodded, "I'm aware, but you must be hungry, you've gotten so skinny... You need to eat more!" His face got darker as he thought about how little you were eating
"I'm fine I swear, I've been too busy to eat as much as usual but I'm in no way malnourished," her stomach growled and he gave her a look, "Oh fine, it wouldn't hurt I suppose,"
As she ate she received looks of concern, "Is there something I'm doing wrong?"
"Not at all, do you always eat like that?"
"Like a monster? Absolutely, the faster it's in my mouth the faster I can get shit done dude"
"You're a beautiful monster... So what did you wish to talk to me about?"
She cleared her throat, "I'd like to propose a truce between the kingdom of science and your Tsukasa empire!"
"Interesting, is this out of fear? Or-"
She cackled, "Fear? Oh GOD no, more like mutual benefit, see, science is the only way to truly move forward, and strength is also needed for hunting and even some of the science work..."
She considered for a second, "Actually it's mostly beneficial on our end, but we made cotton candy last week so of course there's stuff like that, stuff we never thought we'd see again. I mean I certainly didn't"
"So you propose us stop our weeding of human kind"
"Yes"
"Share our resources"
"Mhm"
"And essentially help you more than you'd help us?"
"Pretty much"
"Why?"
"Because you'd see me mo-"
"Deal! Wait- Let me talk this over with my strongest generals... FALL IN"
A group of five gathered around him
"Ehem, after consulting with my generals we have decided... Your conditions are acceptable so long as you marry one of us-"
"No deal"
"Really?"
"It's nothing wrong with any of you... I simply found the love of my life, and I refuse to do anything like this to him..."
"Even though he was married once?"
"It wasn't completely official... And it was only because he won a tournament..."
"Are you sure? That priestess is beautiful" one of the generals giggled
"Do you wanna fucking fight bud, because those are some fighting words mate!"
"Maybe they are bitch-"
Tsukasa broke his arm, "No one talks to her like that!"
"Yessir, sorry goddess..." he started sobbing
"Modern medicine is another thing we're fighting to bring back"
"Contemplate our offer for a bit... See how it goes, and if anyone tries to touch her you will die!"
They understood this time, except for someone drunk off his ass
Speaking of asses, he tried to grab hers, once he reached down she grabbed his arm and sliced his head off with her great knife "Anyone else? No? Good! Bye pretty boy and bye Hyoga and bye Taiju and Yuzu!"
The walk home was calming, with no one around she simply relaxed, she forgot what that was like, the past weeks have been so eventful
"Senku, I'm home!" She called out but was met with nothing
He was passed out in the science shed with dirt covering him
*flash back to Senkus day my rats*
"Y/N's gone, remember that rock suika had? The one that glows in the dark?"
Gen shrugged, "It was cool I guess why?"
"I made some spelunking helmets, me and a few others will be going underground in search of more materials"
A while of idle chatter later
"Someone asked me how many days I've been alive and I realized that I had no idea..."
"You really don't know? Ive been alive 6268 days..."
"How did you-"
"I counted"
This guys insane
As Senku went spelunking, everyone around him worked tirelessly to build a telescope, it wouldn't be ready for a few days so they had to hide it. Senku and the gang of spelunkers had to come up every so often to dump their new materials
After a full day of mining he waited for Y/N to come back, but he fell asleep within minutes
Y/N just got in bed, pulled up the covers, and cuddled up to him, he only woke for a second after realizing she was back
I didn't have time to make the surprise...
