"(Y/N)!" You jumped as you heard the familiar calling of a certain black-haired magi.

"I'll be right there, Judal-sama!" You called out to him, you hurriedly tried to finish cutting up the fruit without cutting yourself for your demanding charge.

"Ah. There you are, (Y/N)." You were surprised when you felt a pair of arms wrap around your waist. You shivered at the warmth his toned body brought and the slight tickle of his hair against your cheek.

"G-good morning, Judal-sama. How did you sleep?" You attempted to distract him while you tried futilely to wriggle out of his firm hold.

Judal frowned and tightened his grip effectively putting an end to your struggles, "Didn't I tell you not to add the '-sama' to the end?"

It had only been a few months ago that you were hired by the palace to cater to the resident magi's needs. However, over the past few months, for some reason, Judal had grown pretty attached to you. He took joy in following you around to harass you much to your chagrin.

You blushed, and shook your head, "I can't do that, Judal-sama."

"Humph." Judal huffed in annoyance; he paused before a sly grin slowly crept across his face, "Alright then. Then I demand that you feed me."

"Wh-what?" You were caught off guard by his sudden request. "But that's-"

"Are you saying that you intend to deny my request? Are you sure about that, (Y/N)?" Judal asked, a playful grin on his face. He spun you around in his hold. You caught the spark of amusement in his eyes at your dumbfounded expression. "Looks like I've broken through your composure, huh?"

You gulped but decided to just comply with his request. You doubted that the magi would fire you but still, his wish was your command. You carefully picked up a strawberry slice and held it up to his mouth.

Judal's eyes sparked in delight as he leaned forward and popped the sliced fruit into his mouth. Before you could pull your hand away he grabbed your wrist and sensually sucked the tips of your fingers clean from the sticky sweetness of the fruit.

You quickly pulled away, a crimson color blossoming across your cheeks. "J-Judal-sama!"

Judal just smiled and put his hands on the counter on either side of you. "Now I want it mouth-to-mouth."

"Wh-what?!" You squeaked in mortification. Although Judal was admittedly highly attractive, that didn't change the fact that you were just a palace maid and Judal was a magi. "I can't, Judal-sama..."

"Now, (Y/N)." Judal ignored your feeble protest and looked down at you expectantly.

You fidgeted under his intense gaze for a minute before he sighed and picked up another slice of a strawberry. He surprised you by shoving it past your lips into your mouth. He shot you one last devilish grin before he leaned down and captured your lips with his.

For a moment, you protested his advancements before you took notice of how well he kissed. You slowly found yourself melting into the kiss and responding. Judal smiled against your lips, obviously pleased by your surrender, before deepening the kiss.

After a moment, he pulled away from you with a small popping noise. He inspected your flushed face and smiled in triumph.

"Delicious." Judal chuckled at the flustered look on your face after his comment.

"Judal, you're embarrassing me..." You mumbled in slight irritation.

"Oh?" Judal perked up in excitement, "You didn't use '-sama'!"

"Wh-what? Oh, gomenasai. It won't happen again." You bowed slightly to him.

"Oh, trust me, it will." Judal flashed you another impish grin. He stepped forward, causing you to back up against the counter in alarm, before he reached around you for the plate of fruit and croissants, "But for now I think I'll just have my breakfast."

You watched in mild bewilderment as Judal sauntered over to a kitchen stool and began eating. You didn't know what made him like harassing you so much but after that kiss, you thought that you just might get used to it.
