Fishing was harder than you though it would be as you caught a twenty pounder after all fight it took to catch him this morning. You hummed happily too yourself as you brought it into camp and entered into the mess hall.

"Hey everyone! I got fish!"

Jakob was cooking today (thank Naga) and smiled at the huge fish. "This isn't a bad catch Lady (y/n)... this may feed the whole camp!"

"Really?! Yay!"

Jakob threw the big fish over the stove and heated it up while ringing the food bell. Sooner than five minutes everyone was filling in as the room was loud with cheerful chattering. You sat down on a bench and felt as if someone was staring at you. You looked around and saw no one was looking at you, but chattering with their loved ones or friends.

Suddenly the table shifted with heavier weight as you looked up to see it was Shiro. "Oh hey Shiro."

"Hello." He says and stares straight ahead.

"......." It was always silence with you two, even if you two were alone or in a big group of people. It was always one word too you. Only. Ryoma said he was laughing and always challenging when he was around everyone else, it was just you he acted different with you around.

"Shiro... do you hate me?"

His eyes widen at the corner of his eyes as he turned to face you. "Hate you? Why would you think that?"

"BREAKFAST IS READY!" Jakob called out as Dwyer and he severed the fish.

Taking the chance you stood up from the table and hurried over to the line. Shiro was trying to chase after you, but got stuck behind his father from behind you in line. You prayed in your head for Ryoma coming at the right time.

When you got your fish you quickly headed outside with it and decided to eat it behind the mess hall. It was cold as the morning sun didn't give it's warmth back here yet. The fish was delicious enough you ate it down in seconds.

"Ahhh... that was good."

"Why do you think I hate you?"

You jumped and turned to see Shiro there with his plate of fish. His gray eyes studding you with a coldness even colder than the shadow you were sitting in. He walked up slowly too you and sat down next to you. He looked so much like Ryoma it was weird, but only with way shorter hair.

Handsome and strong, but cold and distance too you. "I asked why do you think I hate you?"

"Y-you seem to be distance to me and only say one word to me... two if I'm lucky."

His muscles tensed up as he grabbed the fish and held it up. "Did you catch this fish?"

It was ticking you off he was ignoring your question but you didn't want to lose this connection. "Yes I did. I caught it just this morning and helped the army out."

"I see." He bit the head off and chewed it with his strong jaw. He finished eating it and smiled slightly. "It was great. But not as good as my fish."

"You fish too?"

"Only when I have time for it and not training."

"I see... maybe tomorrow we could go fishing!"

"...... I'll think about it."

"O-Okay... I should go back in now..."

You stood up and turned around, disappointed that you had lost the connection you were having... it was longer than any conversion you had. A hand grabbed yours as you turned around to see Shiro, but then feel his lips connecting onto yours.

Your mind was screaming this wasn't real but you heart was screaming yes it was real. His lips were warm and strong like the rest of his muscles. He pulled you closer as you kissed back and the morning sun rose up higher having the light touch you both.

Shiro pulled back and gently pushed you away. "I'll see you tomorrow."

He quickly ran away as you stared after his back... happy and confused at the same time. Maybe this was a start to winning his heart... or did you already win it without see it?
