Maid for Me

Her Hero

Usui felt Misake lean more against him as she whispered a tired thank you.  He smiled softly and gently led her back inside.   The manger turned to as she heard the back door open with a cheerfuly smile.

"Oh Misa good I...Misa?" the manger's tone instantly change when she realized Misa was being supported by the man from before.

"She needs a cool cloth Miss." the boy explained as he helped Misa sit down in a spare chair.  

The manager nodded and quickly fetched the required item.  She handed the cool rag to Usui and he gently laid it on Misa's brow.  Misa groaned at the unwelcomes cold and tried to push the cloth away.  Usui smiled fondly at her and gently held it in place.

"You need to keep this on President.  You have a fever." he explained.

"Usui?" Misake mumbled.

"Yes, madam president?" Usui answered as he brushed some of her hair aside.

Misake suddenly was overcome by a coughing fit and fell forward against his shoulder.  Usui held her gently and sighed.  Another one of the maids, an older girl with short orange blonde hair, walked into the back room.  She raised an eyebrow at the two.

"What's wrong with Misa?" she asked dismissively.

"She has a fever.  I should take her home, can you help me lift her onto my back?"  Usui replied, "Also where does Misa live?"

The maid rolled her eyes, "I don't know but I suppose I can go ask the manager so you can take her home."

"Thank you." replied Usui.

A few moments later her as setting off down the street with Misake securely on his back and her address in his hand.  The manager had also said she would call ahead to tell the family what had happened.

The sun had already gone down when Usui reached the gates of Misake's house.  He went to nudge it open when both sides of the gate slowly crashed to the ground.  Usui felt a sweat drop slide down the side of his face.

"Don't worry it was already broken," called a voice from the door.

Usui carefully stepped over the fallen gate and looked up to see a younger version of Misa nibbling on some bread.  He gave a shy grin and followed the young girl inside.  From what smelled like the kitchen/dinning area an older woman came out looking sick with worry.

"Oh my goodness I have been so worried.  Follow me to her room we'll get her to bed first and then you can tell me what happened."  she explained hurrying down the hall.

Usui followed her quietly and with the help of the other two women laid Misake in her bed.  The woman said they'd meet him in the kithcen for some tea and quietly exited the room.  Usui smiled fondly at their friendly demeanor.  He stood to follow them when a hand grasped the edge of his jacket.  He looked back down to see and unconscious Misake clinging to it.

"No.." Misake groaned in her sleep.

Usui smiled and gently pried her fingers away.  He kneeled back down and gently nestled his scarf into her hands.

"You can give it back to me later." he whispered before brushing a soft kiss over her forehead.

Misa smiled as she snuggled closer to the scrap of lavender colored fabric, "Usui..."

Usui felt a faint blush creep up his neck and bloom on his cheeks as she whispered his name.  He stood and quietly left the room.
