[5]

After taking the bread out of the boy's hands and taking a bite, you muttered a small ‘thanks’ and walked out of the room leaving him behind. 

The villainess was not going to be fed by anyone, especially since you had hands and could feed yourself. Your hands were there for a reason.

You were surprised that he would even share some of his food since you were kinda pushy with him earlier, but you weren’t complaining. You made sure to quickly eat the food since the chefs knew that you were still on punishment and they would definitely tell the Head maid. 

Walking into the kitchen trying to hide your chewing, you noticed that Akuto was lagging behind and seemed like something was bothering him. You honestly didn’t care what was bothering him, nor did you ask him what was wrong. You just ignored him and went right to work. 

“Can you give me the flour?”

You pointed towards the big bag on the other counter. He didn’t show any confirmation to show that he actually heard you, he just stood there. Not hearing a response, some of the chefs curiously looked over to see what was going on. 

After a moment, it looked like he came to his senses and he slowly started to walk over to the other counter, he picked up the flour and handed it to you. 

‘Weirdo..’

You only ignored him and continued to try to make something deasant out of the little skills you had. The cake turned out okay in the end, it was slightly burnt, but it was still edible.

The whole time you were wiping crumbs off the counter, you felt eyes on you. It annoyed you a little, but you tried to control yourself from calling him out. Not that he would care anyways. 

After you finished, you moved to the other side of the kitchen and grabbed the broom. At this point, you and Akuto were the only ones left in the kitchen. Everyone else was either taking a break, or out in the main area cleaning and doing chores. It was a little past lunchtime and you were hungry again, but to be honest, you wanted real food. You knew you were being spoiled, but who cares. You wanted to eat. 

You even thought about cooking yourself something, but you knew that it would not come out the way you wanted it to, so you didn’t bother. You didn’t want any sweet foods either.  You thought about it and told yourself that you were going to risk it and ‘nicely’ ask the maid if you could be put off of punishment. 

Sweeping all of the dirt and leftover flour into a small pile, you felt like something or rather someone was approaching your form. 

You sighed a little, wondering what the boy could want after standing like a statue for the past hour. 

Turning around, you were face to face with him, with him looking up at you with a blank expression on his face. 

He lifted up his hand revealing a sugar cookie followed by a small, 

“Ah”

This was the first time Akuto even made a sound and it caught you off guard a little. His voice was soft and not aggressive. To be honest, the little ‘Ah’ sound he made sounded cute, but you gathered yourself together and stared back at him exhibiting a little confusion on your face. 

“No thanks, I don’t want any.”

This only made his eyebrows furrow even more and it made him look genuinely upset. This was truly the first time you saw the boy show a sign of annoyance and irritation. 

He walked even closer towards your form holding the cookie closer to your face. To be honest you thought about just eating it to make him go away, but there was no way that you were going to be fed by someone. It was too embarrassing.
