As you train with Mihawk on Kuraigana Island, sparring outside the castle, you accidentally lean back too far during the fight, and your lips touch his as he's about to attack you.

Mihawk steps back and looks away, creating a brief pause after you accidentally kiss him. You stand still for a moment, unsure how to react to this situation.

Mihawk: "We’re…done for today. You did well,” he remains stoic and walks away as if nothing happened.

Timeskip:

Now, you and Mihawk find yourselves in the dining room after your sparring session.

There's a slight awkwardness in the air, but you both try to ignore it and focus on your meal.

Despite the uncomfortable silence, you continue to eat, occasionally stealing glances at each other, both silently acknowledging the unusual incident earlier. Then, he finally speaks up:

Mihawk: “What was that earlier? The kiss?”

Despite Mihawk's cold exterior, the kiss leaves a lasting effect on him.

He finds himself drawn to you in a way he hadn’t anticipated.
