Too Long
Sesshoumaru stiffly said, "I have plans for him."
This was news to Miroku, but he wouldn't contradict. He wasn't even going to speak, but then… the urge struck.
How long has it been?
Miroku missed flirting with someone.
Not that he wanted to attract the Western Lady. She was a beauty, but too much like Sesshoumaru in makeup. Still, to compliment. To tease. To flatter. And more than anything… to smile and to have someone smile back.
So he erred on the side of gallantry.
She bloomed and beamed in approval. "I've changed my mind. You may keep this one."
End Note: This chapter was helped along by a prompt from Aviva, who contributed the word "Gallant" over on my Ko-fi account, where I'm currently hosting a fandom event. I'm also ticking off a prompt from a table I procured (ages ago) from the Live Journal community iy no kakera, where I hold a claim on Sesshoumaru & Miroku.
