Teasing a Navigator (46)

*As Aaron returned to the Desire Grand Prix headquarters, he was met with an unexpected sight. Everyone, including his fellow competitors and the organizers, had gathered, and all eyes were on him. He raised an eyebrow, feeling a mix of curiosity and wariness.*

"What's going on here?"Aaron mutter to himself

*He glanced around, trying to gauge the atmosphere and understand why he had become the center of attention.*

*As Aaron looked around, he noticed that large screens in the headquarters were playing back footage of his recent battles, showcasing his encounters with various opponents. The room was filled with the sounds of his clashes, and the audience seemed to be engrossed in watching him fight.*

"Well, this is quite the surprise... Are they watching me fight?"Aaron mutter to himself.

"So, did you all enjoy the show? Anything for my fans."Aaron said smiling to them.

*He added a playful wink as he addressed the onlookers, his tone relaxed and confident.*

Before he passed out on the floor, Exhaustion truly was a bitch, he didn't expect himself to lose so easily, what could have happened to him to make him lose his cool so much.

It probably has something to do with the fact that Beroba just beat his ass a few seconds ago.

He then promptly passed on the floor, his body needed rest after getting beat up so badly.

And just like that he fell on the floor unconscious and fully knocked out.

Time skip

Aaron opened his eyes to see Tsumuri looking at him.

"How do you feel".

"About as well as you might expect, "Aaron said as he put his hands on his head.

The pain that he felt there felt a bit too real, he doesn't remember being hit in the head though.

No something about this felt weird.

Aaron blinked and for half of a millisecond, he could perceive something within Tsumuri.

Upon noticing her small confusion, Aaron smile before opening his mouth and saying "I feel like a malfunctioning droid in need of some serious debugging. Got any tech-savvy tricks up your sleeve to fix me?"

Her comical reaction made him chuckle a bit, this was fun.

However, it disappeared and her facial reaction went back to normal pretty quickly.

"Humor has its place, I suppose. But now isn't the time or place for it" Tsumuri said looking at Aaron who just acted heartbroken.

"Ouch, Tsumuri, right in the humor circuits. Here I was, thinking I'd cracked the code to your mysterious monotone...."Aaron said acting as if he was hurt.

"Don't it hurt..acting like a robot all the time..do you have any favorite food or snack or even favorite color," Aaron said curiously.

"I don't have a need for such a thing," Tsumuri said in her usual monotone voice.

"If you want to keep acting like a robot, you wouldn't mind me entering your USB port," Aaron said teasingly.

It really didn't take long for her to have a reaction..oh so she was human after all and not just a robot.

"You really don't give up, do you? My "USB port" is off-limits, thank you very much."Tsumuri said looking at Aaron.

"Is it really, Tsumuri-chan?" Aaron said cheekily with what seemed to be a smile on his face.

"It's off-limit," Tsumuri said looking at Aaron to which he just sight.

He put one of his hands behind his neck and sight a bit, this would be fun.

Teasing is something that he is good at, plus he has the whole day ahead of him so he can tease her for as long as he wants.

"You really are no fun, but hey, I have a whole afternoon in front of me," Aaron said smiling to which Tsumuri seemed to not be too pleased about what this teen may have planned for her.

"What do you have in mind, Aaron?"Tsumuri said slightly apprehensive.

"Oh, just some good old-fashioned conversation. Maybe we can even crack that monotone exterior of yours."Aaron said nonchalantly.

"I'm not sure how successful you'll be with that endeavor, but feel free to try," Tsumuri said in her usual monotone voice

"Challenge accepted!"Aaron said seemingly very excited.

"I have other stuff to do, then play with you, "Tsumuri said trying to avoid this.

To which Aaron smiles saying."oh like the rating, that taken care of..or do you want me to follow you around? I have plenty of free time"

Time skip.

"So, not even a little bit"Aaron said smiling a bit at Tsumuri to which she just look away.

This was a tedious process, it had been 4 hours and she still refused to crack.

He should have expected this to be fair, considering he has "that" with him, if it went any other way then it would have been weird.

And that is why teasing is fun.

As he wanted to tease her a bit more, something suddenly stopped him as the screen in the living area announced the last round.

He could visibly see Tsumuri breathing out a sigh of relief.

"You safe for now"He said before standing up and walking away.

It was at this moment that Tsumuri realized that most if not all of his wounds had healed completely.

As if he wasn't injured to begin with.
