Shang-Chi smiled to himself as he watched you from his place in the doorway, leaning against its frame. He couldn't help but stare in awe as he watched you in your element- manipulating the magical force between your hands- pushing it outwards and pulling it inwards like the waves. It was a part of you but something so foreign at the same time- he didn't think he would ever quite understand the complexities of it all but he admired it- and you- all the same.

"Quit staring." You called, your back still towards him. "You're distracting me."

"I could say the same thing."

The energy in your hands dissipated as you spun around and rolled your eyes at your boyfriend.

Striding over to him, you couldn't help the hint of a smile on your face from his playful demeanor.

"You're disgusting, you know that?" You laughed, poking a figure in his chest.

Grabbing your wrist in his hand, Shang-Chi pulled you closer.

"Yeah, but you love me anyway." He said pressing a soft kiss to your lips. "That's on you."

You couldn't help but smile as you pressed your lips against his once more.

"What did you come out here for anyway?" You asked, gesturing to the open space behind you where you had just been training.

In all honestly he hadn't come out there for any particular reason- only that he missed you and he always loved to admire the way you worked. He had always watched his father's men practice fighting when he was younger but as he stood there watching you train- he didn't feel fear, but wonder. He wanted to learn -not to appease his father- but because of his own curiosity and the love he had for you.

What would it hurt to ask?

"Could you teach me?"

You were expecting him to say something along the lines of "I missed you" or "Just because I love you"- not that.

"What do you mean?" You asked, furrowing your eyebrows.

"Can you teach me?" Shang-Chi repeated, gesturing his hand outwards to where you had just been training. "Magic. Can you teach me how to do what you do?"

You would be lying if you said a sense of pride didn't well up inside of you when the man you loved and admired so much asked you to teach him. You had always been impressed by his own skill, believing that he was the most gifted man on earth when it came to fighting- and to know that he was impressed by you? You could barely believe it even after all of this time together.

"Well," You said, taking his hands in yours and guiding him over to the patch of grass where you just were. "I can try to teach you a thing or two but even I don't know where my power comes from."

Sliding your sling ring off of your fingers, you gestured for Shang-Chi to lay his hand out for you and when he did you slipped the ring onto his.

You took his forearms in your hands and guided him to stretch out the arm that held the sling ring while bending the other and moving it in a circular motion.
