"Are you sure you're up for it? He isn't what you think he is, I assure you." a man in about his forties told the determined girl sitting in front of him for the nth time. Short brown locks bounced up and down as she nodded her head furiously.
"I'm sure! I don't care how awful my master will be, I just want this job badly!" her cerulean orbs sparkled as she said this words filled with sincerity and desperation. The man could just sigh and shake his head lightly.
"This was your choice, do remember that and be prepared for the challenges that will come down your path." he gave her a small smile and gave her head a pat. "Good luck, you'll need it. The uniform will be in your room down the hall." And with that said, he went out of the mini office and led the girl to her room.
"Rin!" The maid suddenly went out of her flash back once she heard her master call her name and ran to him as fast as she could, fixing the curls at the ends of her hair and wiping imaginary dust off her skirt.
"Yes Master Len?" The question was accompanied by a bright and smile that would melt most of the men's population. But this, unfortunately, had no effect on her blonde headed master.
"I'm thirsty. Make me ice coffee and bring me a sundae now." He commanded her with a bored voice and made a hand gesture of shooing her away. The maid seemed unaffected and bowed politely, going out of his room and going downstairs to make his requested snack.
Len, her master, gave a long sigh and a long frown. He didn't like his maid. She was too happy, optimistic, and dense. Most of his past maids sewed their skirts up to shorten it and catch his attention, but not this one. She wore her uniform properly and elegantly, not lowering one of the sleeves, or purposely raising the knee length uniform up her legs. She would always just give her master a bright smile and a curt nod when serving him, making small conversations from time to time. For short, she didn't make an effort of winning her master's heart, she was true to her words and only wanted the job.
Mean while, her master is quite the opposite of her in terms of personality. He was quiet, with a dark aura illuminating by him. But despite that, he was born with good looks and was blessed with a talented body. The only things in the way are his pride, stubborn attitude, and his lack of interests. Many ladies tried flirting with him, but he only took that opportunity to use his sea green eyes to glare at them.
Rin came back with a tray that contained the ice coffee and sundae he wished for. She placed it by the bed table and handed him his coffee. "How was your school today, master?"
Here she goes with the small talk that he so much hated. Can't she be quiet for once? He sighed and took a spoonful of his dessert. "Boring. Like everyday. Why do you even bother asking these questions?" The tone of his voice showed annoyance. Her smile returned, but much more gentle than cheerful.
"It's because I'm concerned for you, master." She caught a quick glance of the red in his face as he looked away and giggled lightly.
"W-what?!"
"Your face is very red, is there someone you like already?" His face got redder as he pushed her away like he does everyday.
"N-no! Now get out!" with a happy giggle, she did as he told her and got out of the room. Len sighed at his maid. She always asks him if he liked someone, like his mother usually does, but the only difference was she's only seventeen. His mother used to ask her these questions when he was young to tease him, but now that he's eighteen, she stopped. The dead couldn't make jokes anyway, right?
He pulled his drawer open and took out a pocket sized journal. The journal was obviously old with its yellowish pages and rotting leather cover, but it was an item he kept close to him that no one knew about. Opening the journal, he took a photo he hid in between the pages and unfolded it, looking at it intently.
"I promise I'll come back for you! Just stay here and wait for me 'til I grow up, then I'll marry you!" a nine year old stuck her pinkie out at a small blonde headed boy who was crying as he intertwined his pinkie with hers.
"I p-promise to stay here and wait!" He smiled with the tears still flowing and gave his friend one last hug.
His pale fingers traced delicately at the picture of the girl and he quickly remembered his maid. His childhood friend and first love had many resemblance to his maid, the hair, the personality and the warm feeling that she brought to him, even if he calls her an annoyance. But she couldn't be his beloved childhood friend, for Rin's eyes were blue and pale but happy, and his friend's eyes were a bright brown and cheery color.
He made out a frustrated noise and looked out the window, which gave him a beautiful view of the cherry blossoms and their petals that fell and danced along the wind. "It's been eight years... When will I see you again?" he asked quietly, unknown to him that someone was watching him.
Len's other maid, Miku, sighed. Everyday she watched him take out his secret journal and just stare at the two children at the photo. She knew of a secret, and even though she could use it to win her master's heart, she didn't. She always believed that would just be stooping to a very low level. Despite that, she was really tempted to confess to him, until she came along. True that Miku and Rin were now best friends since she came about two months ago, but she just got jealous of Rin everyday. She used to be their master's personal maid, but now she just does laundry and house chores since Rin took her job.
She walked back to their head quarters looking straight ahead of her and stopping. Rin was right in front of her, crossing the other hall with a black bag that she knew was Len's school bag. Probably giving him his homework so that-she thought, but her train o thought stopped as the blonde maid hit her head on the glass wall to the other hall, missing the glass door a few inches beside the wall she just hit.
"Rin-chan!" Miku rushed to her and helped her up. She had a small cut on her head, and the glass wall was a bit shattered, showing that she hit her head pretty hard. Miku was about to wipe Rin's forehead with her apron, until yellow went to her eyes like a gust of wind, and all of a sudden, Len was carrying Rin in his arms, rushing to his room.
"Miku, get some water and the first aid kit!" he instructed as he kicked his room door open, placing the crying blonde girl on his bed gently. Miku came back with the kit and watched as their master treated her fellow maid as if she was a piece of fragile treasure. No one has ever seen this side of Len and it amazed her that he even had different emotions aside from his annoying, hot self. He finally removed Rin's bow and wrapped a bandage around her head carefully.
"Idiot. Next time you wanna break the wall, use the hammer not your head!" He finally said as he looked at her. She giggled at him, despite the few tears still falling down.
"M-master Len, you're so tsundere!" she laughed out. Miku giggled as well, as she saw Len's face turn red.
"Whatever! G-get out of here and just come back tomorrow!" he blushed darker as he pushed the two maids away and shut the door close. Miku and Rin just shrugged and giggled, knowing that Len was in fact, a tsundere.
"Darn you Rin... Why'd you ever have to come in this house?!" he groaned as jumped on his bed and rolled over, looking at the ceiling. The journal was kept in his drawers again like usual along with the most treasured photo.
Later that night, during mid night, a shadowish figure opened the hall to the maid quarters, opening a very familiar door. The room was small, but good enough for a bedroom. The figure stepped in softly, looking at the beautiful sleeping blonde angel at the bed as her eyes slowly opened, immediately seeing the figure and going to the corners of her bed.
"Help me- mmmmMMM!" The figure put a hand to cover her mouth as it slowly closed the door with his foot.
