/le tosses another fluffy shipping fic
I need to stop making these, BUT I CAN'T!
Disclaimer: I don't own Touhou or any of the characters. I'm just a hopeless shipper of these two dorks.
Hong Meiling was currently enjoying the breezy summer day outside the Scarlet Devil Mansion she guarded. The youkai rather liked her job, she got to enjoy the weather, talk to passing fairies and youkai, and it made her feel important to guard the household of her family. The Mistress Remilia, young Mistress Flan, Lady Patchouli, Miss Koa and of course,
"Sakuya-san!" She jumped as the head maid suddenly appeared right before her. "Please don't scare me like that!"
"Meiling, I've brought you some tea." She stated, holding a tray with all the necessary ingredients for making the hot beverage.
"Oh, thank you!" Excepting her gift warmly the gate guard watched as the silver haired girl poured the water and added sugar. Meiling preferred green tea, but would never dream of turning down Sakuya's tea. The youkai actually had a secret crush on her and loved everything about the elegant maid. She seemed so perfect but there was one flaw in her elegance. As the gate guard took her first sip of the tea she nearly choked and tried her best not to spit it out before swallowing and coughing vigorously.
"Meiling!? What's wrong?" She asked, concernedly placing a hand on the gate guard's shoulder.
"Um, Sakuya-san? I think that's salt, not sugar."
Yes, the one blemish in her perfection was that the head maid could be a little... Air-headed sometimes. The youkai thought that this was still cute though. The red head was giving the elegant female a half smile, half grimace as she tried to get the awful taste off of her tongue. Shocked at her mistake, the maid flipped out her silver pocket watch and before Meiling could say anything she vanished and was back as if she never left.
"Sorry for the mistake, I'm sure it's sugar this time."
"No worries Sakuya-san," she smiled, "we all make mistakes and I think it's kind of cute sometimes."
"Wait." Meiling hadn't meant for that to slip and immediately turned as red as her hair. "Uh, I-I mean! Um! I just t-think it's nice t-to know you can m-make mistakes too! Er, not that I want you too mess up, I mea-"
Sakuya raised an index finger causing the gate guard to go silent and stand there in all her uncomfortable, blushing glory, wringing her hat in her hands.
"I'm glad you find it.. Charming rather than irritable." She stated calmly, busying herself making the youkai a new batch of tea. Frankly, the red head had completely forgotten about the bad taste in her mouth since it had suddenly gone dry, but was very glad when a new piping hot cup of tea (without salt this time) was handed to her. She tentatively sipped it to check the temperature and then welcomed the lovely taste to soothe her parched tongue.
"Thank you Sakuya-san! It's delicious as usual."
"I'm glad to hear you enjoy it so much, although I have to get back to work now and you should too."
The youkai nodded fervently and gulped down her tea before passing the cup back to the elegant maid. "As always, I'll do my best Sakuya-san!" She said, standing to attention and raising her left hand to her forehead in a salute. The silver haired female laughed inaudibly and turned to leave before stopping quickly and asking, "... Meiling, would you... Like to have tea with me later?"
Surprised, the gate guard stuttered a bit before responding, "S-Sure! I would love to spend time with you miss Sakuya. Well as long as the tea doesn't have salt in it this time." The red head chuckled.
"Maybe I should if it'll get you to call me cute more often." Sakuya smiled, almost smugly. "It's a date then."
"Eh!?" Immediately the youkai's wild blush was back, but before she could say anything, the silver haired maid disappeared leaving Meiling to ponder her words. After getting over the initial shock she smiled and softly spoke to herself, "More tea with Sakuya-san huh?" The fact that her crush had invited her to privately spend time with them made her want to burst with happiness and she couldn't help but hug herself to try and keep her squeals of excitement down. "Okay!" She raised her fist to her chest, "I'll try even harder than normal to make you happy today miss Sakuya!"
And it was said that nobody, not even Marisa could manage to get in that day... Although, that was because the red head talked to her about the events that took place with the head maid for so long she just decided to go home and come back later.
Oh good gravy it's so fluffy. I think I might continue this into the "date" but do it from Sakuya's point of view.
