Turning it up to eleven!

"Tatsumi! Hurry up!"

Mine watched in aggravation as her boyfriend struggled to keep up. Of course if he didn't have to carry all of Mine's shopping bags, he wouldn't have been so tired.

"You know, Mine, seeing as how these are all yours you could carry some of them at least," stated Tatsumi as he reached her.

The glare that the pink-haired sniper gave the boy would have killed him had he never faced much worse. "You really expect me to carry such a heavy load?!"

"They can't be heavier than your Teigu!"

This of course earned Tatsumi a whack to the head from Mine's fist. "Stupid Tatsumi!"

Mine continued forward, stomping all the way and leaving Tatsumi to pick up the bags he dropped. She would have punished him even more, but she wanted to get back to the Night Raid base and rest after a full day of shopping. She'd just have to punish him once they got back.

"Mine…Mine! Wait up! I'm sorry!" exclaimed Tatsumi as he ran after her.

Mine stopped her stride. "And what exactly are you sorry for, Tatsumi?"

"I'm sorry for snapping at you like I did. I didn't mean it," replied the Incursio user with a sigh.

"…You better be," said Mine with a slight pout. This of course earned a laugh from Tatsumi, causing Mine's anger to rise. "And just what is so funny?!"

"Nothing! It's just that look cute when you pout."

Mine's face soon matched her hair in color. "Sh-Shut up! Stupid Tatsumi!"

With another pout, Mine continued her trek back home while Tatsumi followed after his tsundere girlfriend. The sniper glanced back at Tatsumi with a slight smile. She wouldn't admit it out loud, but Tatsumi could be rather sweet when he needs to be.

"Hey, Mine?"

"Hm?" hummed Mine. She didn't expect Tatsumi's next action, which was wrapping his arm around her shoulders and placed a kiss on her temple. This caused her to blush deeply once again. "Wh-What was that for?!"

"Because I love you. My Mine."

Still blushing, Mine snuggled closer to the boy she had come to love with all her heart.

"My Tatsumi."

FIN

I don't like how the animé version kills off a majority of the characters. At least the manga keeps Leone, Kurome, Mine (albeit in a coma), and maybe Tatsumi alive.
