Why Me? (Re: Zero X Male Reader)

Chapter 10

Rem: "Y/N-sama, it's morning already."

Rem called as she stood in front of the man sprawled out on his bed.

Rem: "Rem knows that Y/N-sama told her not to wake him this morning but he will miss breakfast at this rate."

As expected, the blue haired maid's waiting was for naught. The blonde only retreated deeper into his snuggle fortress.

Rem: "Y/N-sama."

She called again, louder this time, mindful of keeping out of grabbing distance.

Rem: "Please wake up, breakfast will be served within the hour."

(Y/N): "Zzz... ZzzZ..."

Rem allowed herself to sigh, of course it won't be this easy. She should have seen it coming. Whenever the Servant actually did sleep in it was a chore to wake him up.

This time though she came prepared. She swiftly fetched her secret weapon from a corner of the room. A moderately long stick! Have at thee, cheek-pinching knight!

POKE! POKE!

Rem: "Y/N-sama, it's time to wake up."

Rem said unceasingly jabbing at his ribs.

Rem: "Please wake up, breakfast will start soon."

POKE! POKE!

Y/N let out a groan, a searching hand snatching at thin air, finding nothing-

POKE! POKE!

Rem: "Y/N-sama."

The man's nostrils flared as a louder groan escaped his mouth. "Nggghh" stretching his shoulders and neck slowly his eyelids began to move, green eyes blinking as they adjusted to the bright morning light.

(Y/N): "Mmm?"

His dazed eyes glanced to the ceiling for a moment before shifting down, trying to see what was bothering him. His gaze locked onto the staff that poking him, following it, he was greeted by the sight of a smiling Rem.

Rem: "Good morning Y/N-sama." She greeted kindly.

Y/N's face was expressionless as he stared at the blue oni. His hand slowly started reaching for Rem who took a swift step back.

...

Not giving up Y/N began to crawl on his bed, slowly, relentlessly closing the distance. He tried reaching out once again but the maid took another step back, a teasing smile firmly locked onto her features. His body lifelessly fell back onto the mattress.

...

...

...

...

Rem: "Y/N-sama please don't fall sleep again."

Rem said with sigh when she noticed the man stopped moving. She raised her stick again carefully aiming to deliver another poke-

(Y/N): "Got you!"

A desperate lunge, a last chance to reach his price-

Rem: "Nope!"

FOILED!

The maiden playfully danced out of his reach, avoiding his pounce just in time. She continued to smile in amusement as he crashed face first back onto the bed.

A cute giggle slipped past Rem's lips, she couldn't help it. The serious proud lion was reduced to a adorable clumsy little cub before her very eyes. No matter how often she saw him like this she could never believe it.
