Time for Tea [Wriothesley x Male Reader]. 🍋

7. Le Mission

°•| 5 days later, day of the operation |•°

13:52 (8 minutes before the operation starts)

I was sitting there on top of a hill on Mount Esus East, with a telescope to spy on the suspect. Wait, who even is the suspect?

I checked my journal, containing all the records and information from last night's meeting. As it states, Wriothesley is.. out to get tea? How is that essential to the mission?

"-sigh- Why am I not surprised... After all, the poor little duke needs his tea to survive! How cute." I said and began to load my gun. Although I'm still learning how to use a gun, I guess I know how to aim and fire, which is pretty useful.

13:56 (4 minutes till operation starts)

" Do do-do do do..." I was laying down against a tree nearby, just flipping through the pages of the journal.

"This is so boring...!" I pouted. No but really, why is there nothing to do? Why did I get here 10 minutes early.

"I'll just take a nap..mm.." and I began to close my eyes.

"Mimimimimi..."

13:58 (2 minutes before operation starts)

"Mimimi...-"

"Mornin' sunshine."

I heard a soft voice as I slowly open my eyes, and looked to my left. There was Wriothesley, just laying down next to me, reading through my journal, revising the mission.

"W-wrio... A-ah-! Your Grace, what are you doing here?!" I got up and held my gun closely, trying to seem like I was ready. I noticed Wriothesley's jacket fall off me. Did he put it on me like a blankie?

"Heh.. I saw you sleeping so I thought I'd cover you up. But, I did eventually decide that it was best to wake you up. After all, you should always keep your guard up." He says as he takes his jacket and puts it on his back. Why doesn't he wear it?

"T-thanks, Wriothesley."

"It's Your Grace."

"Suddenly I don't want to thank you." I mumbled and got my things. Seeing the sun, there was 30 more seconds before the mission starts. "Why are you here again? I thought you were getting tea.."

"Well by tea, I don't mean normal tea." He gets closer and whispered in my ear, and I felt his warm breath. "I had to get some intel on the Phantom Thief."

Way to kill the mood.

"Well, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of Intel did you get?" I said as I backed away and began to sit down on a cliff nearby, and Wriothesley followed.

"Well, we do need to know about his current whereabouts, correct?" He said, sitting next to me.

"Yes but, didn't we establish where he would be?" I said. Wriothesley looked away.
"About that.."

"Your in the wrong location."

"WHAT!?" I grabbed Wriothesley's shoulder and shook him. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"

"Hey, calm down." Wriothesley grabbed my hands and settled them down.

"It's alright, you still have time."

"Time?! It's 14:03 what are you talking about?" I sighed in frustration. How could I be wrong?

"Look, it's not your fault. The Phantom thief just decided it was best to go after something else, you know?" Wriothesley said, trying to comfort me.

"Are you sure..?" I said, and rested my head against Wriothesley's arm.

"Could you take me where I should be?" I said with a sad face. There was no way I would know where to go without His Grace's help.

"Of course, that's why I came here in the first place. Now come on, let's go before you miss out on your mission." He smiles and we get up and began to walk to the location where I should have been. Although I wonder, why did no one tell me before? Ugh this is so embarrassing...

14:25 -------------★

We ran and ran, up the slope as we heard a battle going on. Where is the fight coming from?

"Show yourself!" A gunshot fired. BLAM!

"Wri- Your Grace! down there!" I pointed down the cliff and there stood,

The Captain of the Special Security and Surveillance Control.
