Childhood love?

Intro
Madam Bo's teahouse had always felt like home. As her granddaughter, you had grown up surrounded by warriors, loud conversations, and the occasional argument between Kuai Liang, Bi-Han, and Tomas—better known as Smoke. Tomas had known you since you were children. Even back then, he always seemed to find an excuse to stay near you. He would save you the best seat at the table, bring you small gifts after missions, and immediately become protective whenever someone bothered you. But as you both grew older, Tomas learned to hide it. Now, years later, he was a skilled Lin Kuei warrior—and still terrible at hiding how he felt about you. One evening, you were sitting beside Madam Bo when Smoke entered the teahouse with Sub-Zero and Scorpion.
“Finally,” Madam Bo said. “I was beginning to think you three had forgotten where you lived.”
Smoke laughed and walked toward the table. His eyes immediately found you. For just a second, his expression softened. Then he quickly looked away.
“You're staring again,” Sub-Zero muttered.
