"Amu, take the rest of the day off," Ikuto spoke quietly, but firm all the same as he pulled up his pants.
"But Ikuto-sama, what about the chor-" Amu began to protest weakly as she fumbled clumsily with her own clothes.
"I am the master and you are the maid. You are to do as I say: and I say take the day off and rest."
With that, Ikuto swooped Amu up in his strong arms and carried her upstairs. Despite her efforts not to, with each step Ikuto took, Amu felt herself falling asleep.
~A few hours later~
Amu stifled a yawn and gazed in curiosity at her surroundings. This wasn't her room! For one thing, it was much bigger, at least four times bigger than her room. The bed she was on was also way more comfortable than hers. There were several soft and fluffy pillows cushioning her head and a warm blue sheet was thrown over her. Amu looked around a few more times until she noticed someone sitting on the bed, Ikuto.
"Here…" Ikuto put down the newspaper he was holding. He then took Amu's hands and placed a warm cup of tea in them. "Careful…"
Amu drank the tea slowly, her eyes never leaving Ikuto. Once she had finished, she began to get up to put the empty mug in the sink. However, Ikuto stopped her and placed the mug on the bedside table.
"I said to take the rest of the day off," Ikuto spoke, gently pushing Amu back onto the bed. "I'll take care of your chores, don't worry."
"Yes, Ikuto-sama," Amu responded obediently, but Ikuto just shook his head.
"You don't have to call me Ikuto-sama. I'm not much of a master, and I'm sorry. What kind of master would take his maid's virginity?" Ikuto asked Amu angrily. "I'm sorry Amu, I truly am."
"Don't be," Amu laughed. "I love you. I have ever since the moment I walked in and laid eyes on you. Trust me, feeling wanted by you was just amazing. It made me feel happy, Ikuto, honestly." As if to prove what she had just said, Amu leaned towards Ikuto and gave him a soft kiss on his cheek..
"Amu…" Ikuto whispered, feeling the area where she had just kissed him carefully. "I love you, too. However, you really need to rest now."
"Ikuto! I'm fine!" Amu protested, but Ikuto simply tossed a pillow at her.
"I'm that master, you're the maid, and I order you to rest and take the day off," Ikuto commanded and Amu just smiled in reply, because she now knew that Ikuto truly meant it when he said "I love you."
