Thank you sooooooo much for the reviews! I loved every single one of them. :D
Here is another chapter and I tried to include MisaxTak-kun fluff. I hope you will like it. *Fingers crossed*

"Does it hurt?" Misaki asked as she gently applied the medicine on Takumi's wound.
"No." he whispered.
'Never felt better.' Takumi mused as he closed his eyes to welcome the warm sensation.
"That will do for now." Misaki smiled at his back as she kept away the bowl of medicine and grabbed a roll of bandage.
"Ano…please turn around."
Takumi readily complied and waited patiently as Misaki began to wrap the cloth around his form.
His emerald eyes carefully studied the person before him while the said princess fought tooth and nail to hide the blush that threatened to stain her cheeks as she eyed his well- built chest.
'Pay attention Misaki!' she silently scolded herself.
Takumi smirked as he eyed the red hue that was slowly rising up.
"Like something you see, Princess?"
Misaki widened her eyes as she choked out a "Wh-what?"
"You heard me." He replied in a bored tone.
"What gives you such a preposterous idea?!" she stuttered out.
"The fact that I am completely drenched in your drool."
Misaki's face turned beet red as Takumi's eyes twinkled with mischief.
Quickly raising her hand to wipe off the offending 'item', she screamed out after realizing that-
"I am not drooling!"
Takumi chuckled as Miaski's cheeks puffed up in embarrassment and anger.
"How naïve you are…princess" he teased.
Misaki's eyebrow twitched in annoyance as she tightened the bandage which made Takumi smirk.
"I would very much like to breathe Princess."
"I forbid it!" Misaki huffed as she crossed her arms.
"Well you didn't deny it…"
"Deny what?"
"That my physique left you mesmerized." Takumi grinned.
Misaki broke out into coughing fit as she blurted out, "Absolutely not!"
Comfortable silence etched between the two before Misaki decided to pipe in.
"Say Usui, why did you refuse medicinal aid from Honoka?"
Staring at the candles that illuminated the room, Takumi recalled when Honoka had come in to offer her assistance…
"Hello damsel in distress! Time to dress your wound." Honoka chirped.
Wincing slightly to himself, Takumi got up as his eyes searched a certain person.
"Where is she?" he calmly asked.
"She?" Honoka pondered.
"The Princess."
"Ah! Misaki you mean. She had some important business to attend to but has promised to come visit you soon…" Honoka smiled.
"Now turn around so I can tend to you."
Takumi narrowed his eyes as he replied, "No."
"I beg your pardon?"
"No" he repeated politely.
"B-But your wound! It needs to be dre-"
"I am perfectly well." Takumi cut her off. "Tell your princess that she doesn't need to be worry herself over me."
"Alright!" Honoka pouted as she marched out of the room, mumbling, "Lads these days…too stubborn for their own good."
'Important business, eh?' Takumi huffed. 'Very well then. I do not need her either!'
'Got jealous so easily?' A voice in his mind teased as Takumi cleared his throat before shutting off this offending interruption.
"Because I require no further medicinal help. My back is perfectly alright." He lied through his teeth.
"If only your back could agree with you." Misaki giggled as Takumi stiffened.
"You need not act so tough all the time, Usui. It is normal to feel pain…to cry…to smile."
Takumi's heart skipped a beat at the warmth of her words as seriousness etched his eyes.
"Thank you Princess."
Misaki smiled before she added, "It is Misaki."
"You want me to call you by your name?" Takumi's eyes widened in amazement.
"Such formal references only weigh me down." Misaki shuddered. "So no Princess or My Lady or whatever names 'slaves' are taught to use."
"So big names weigh you down, eh?" Takumi smirked.
Misaki nodded as she eyed him suspiciously.
"Then I am going to call you Misa-chan!" Takumi chirped.
"Wh-what!?"
"I reduced your name further by a syllable. I don't want Misa-chan to be weighed down by anything." Takumi grinned cheekily.
Misaki blushed beet red as she waved her arms before him and squeaked, "No! Misaki is perfectly fine with me."
"Whatever you say, Misa-chan!" Takumi replied in a sing-song voice.
"URGH!"
What do you think? I tried my best!
Please let me know in your reviews…
