Ernest slowly stirred. They had shifted during the night. He was now flat on his back, and Katrielle had been lying her head against his chest. He listened to her breath, gentle and peaceful. His heart was warmed. He looked over to Katrielle's clock on her bedside table to notice the time.

'6:00! I'll be late.' He thought. But then again, late for him would be usual timing for anyone else. He stared down at her and sighed. "I couldn't possibly wake you up." He muttered to himself. Eventually Kat woke up on her own accord to see Ernest smiling.

"Morning Sunshine," He whispered.

"Morning yourself handsome." She said back enjoying the moment. Ernest blushed before the both of them slowly got out of bed.

"Tea miss?"

"Of course."

Katrielle watched as her assistant made her tea. It was like he did every morning, Except it was just them. She walked up behind him and clung on to his waist. She heard a small chuckle as he turned to face her.

"Im curious…" Kat started.

"Yes?"

"What is this darker side of you?"

Ernest was baffled, but entertained. "What? I dont have another side."

"But I saw it last night. It comes out when i start to play with him." She said innocently, as she grabbed his freshly put on bowtie. They were back in their normal clothes… Well except minus the shoes, because they couldn't be bothered. She watched as Ernest became flustered. She was the puppet master, and seemingly toying with his tie, was pulling all his strings.

"He's Like you, He cares the same, but he gets what he wants… and he does it with style if i do say so myself."

Ernest gulped as Katrielle pulled her body towards his.

"My Question is, what makes Ernest Greaves become so uncontrollable?" She whispered in his ear.

"I think you know the answer to every question you ask," Ernest said enticingly, as he gently pushed Katrielle towards the counter. Now she was having her strings pulled by the newly confident Ernest. He leaned in and kissed her again, but this time more roughly, taking katrielle by surprise. She couldn't say she hated it though. They shared the moment for awhile before ernest withdrew. "Hope I didn't scare you there." He said, still confident, but back to his worrisome self. Katrielle was speechless, but she gave him a smile so he knew she enjoyed it. As he poured the tea he looked up at the clock and noticed the time.

"Oh fiddlesticks! We should go, we're quite late."

"Sure," Kat managed to mumble out, before following him out the door, Tea in hand.

When they arrived at the office Kat greeted in her usually way.

"Morning!"

"Oh Kat, Have you seen Ernest?" Matt asked frantically from the kitchen.

"I'm right here Matt."

"Oh thank god," Matt said coming out of the kitchen, "I was worried something might have happened to him."

"No, he was just at my place." Kat said as they put up their coats.

"Alrighty then, I'm off to see Inspector Hastings, he called to see me."

"Oh then we should come too!" Kat said excitedly.

"Actually he asked that neither of you come." Matt said. "But that doesn't include Sherl, So come on you lazy dog."

Sherl grumpily got of the couch and followed him.

"Let's get this over with."

As they walked out the door kat sat down.

"Where does that other side of you come from?"

Ernest Chuckled to himself. "Oh I don't quite know Miss Layton."

"Is it the real Miles trying to crawl back through?"

Ernest's Face dropped all signs of happiness. Kat knew she had overstepped a boundary.

"No, It's not." he responded bluntly. "And for the record, don't call me Miles again."

Kat jumped off her chair and ran to him. "Im sorry Ernest, It's just that I've never seen that side of you, it was so sudden. Not to say I don't like it, I love it… Actually. But I just was wondering where it came from."

"I'm glad you like that side of me." He said, his smile bitter sweet. "…You know what would cheer me up?"

"What?"

"Another kiss?" He said smiling nervously. She Laughed before sealing their lips in another kiss, this couldn't get much better.

Sorry This Chapter was a little short, It's about to get alot more complicated. If you dont know who Matt is, he's my OC I created in "Ernest and the gift." And if you haddnt figured out, its supposed to be me.

Anyways, i have a good mystery for you that will slowly unravel hope you stay tuned.
