More than a dragon Warrior

A promise

A promise

[Tai Lung's POV]

I opened my eyes and looked down at the shameless girl who was curled up on my lap while I was meditating and trying to find out the secret to turning my body into lightning.

Her eyes were closed and she rubbed her soft cheeks on my fur. She was also rubbing two softer things on me while her tail wagged left and right.

"Mei?" I called but she did not respond.

I stared at her for a few seconds before I realized what was going on, it happened to Tigress as well. I reeled in my chi which was spreading in the surroundings and put a lid on it.

"Hmh~?" Mei opened her eyes when she felt the soothing sensation suddenly disappear.

She looked up and blinked twice before she realised what she was doing. She immediately pushed herself off my body with shy red dusting her cheeks.

"What were you doing?" I asked.

"I-I was...I was going to call you for dinner." She said, "It's ready."

I shook my head with a smile before I stretched my body like the feline I was. Then I followed Mei inside where a warm meal was waiting for me.

I had taught her how to cook the past few days and she learned well because she was enthusiastic to do so. She said it always bothered her that I was cooking even though she was the one who should serve me.

I sat down at the table and tried the food. Mei watched with rapt attention while I put the fish dumping in my mouth.

I blinked, "Not bad."

It was fucking delicious. I was almost certain the food had a touch of miracle to it, just like I taught her to do.

Mei threw her hands up, victorious, and a smile adorned her face. I chuckled seeing her get so happy from such small praises. It reminded me of when I was young, I would do anything to get praise from Shifu.

They meant everything because he was everything to me.

"I really like how you used the fish broth to steam the buns." I said and she nodded, seemingly making a note in her head to do it again.

"Now that the pressure is out of the way, lets dig in!" She said and we ate our food together.

[3rd POV]

Things escalated so quickly.

Were feelings always this quick to grow and mature?Vissit for updates

So the kind of love she had for Tai Lung was quite different from how it started out and how it should be. She loved him for being the kind of person he is but she also loved him for what he is.

She was in love with the very idea of his existence.

So fuck. Excuse her if she sounded too overbearing.

....

"Will you let me stay with you forever?"

"Huh? What's with the question?" He asked, surprise laced his deep voice. "That sounds like a marriage proposal." he chuckled.

She never loved before, and she never even imagined loving this much.

"No, it doesn't have to be a marriage." She said, "Let me stay with you even just as a servant. I promise I will be useful."

That's why she was also training so tirelessly, and why she gave her everything to learn what he wanted her to learn. To be useful to the strongest in the world was not easy but she would do it.

It must be hilarious to someone who knew her. Oh, how quickly her desire and goal changed. A month ago she hated being used and wanted freedom from any control.

She was such a brittle woman.

But this time...

This time she would stand firm.

He stayed silent and gazed into her eyes. it felt like he could see right through her and every vulnerable layer she had.

"Well, you will have to prove yourself if you always want to stay by my side." He said. "If you can do that, sure."

Enemies far beyond what she could imagine and disasters the gavest the universe could muster were heading his way.

She would have to work even harder and be more than what she ever was if she wanted to stay beside him and bear all those challenges.

But she will do it.

If there was anything she learned from him, it was resolve and endless determination.

"It's a promise." She said.

He chuckled, "I guess it is."
