Neuvillette's POV:

I had woken up already, downstairs making breakfast by the time the Duke had woken up.

"Good morn- Eh!?" I turned my head just to see a half naked Wriothesley clambering down the stairs.

"You couldn't at least bother to put a shirt on?" I murmured.

He Drousily looked down and realized.

"Oh. . Well I guess you'll have to deal with it, won't you, Monsieur?" He smirked, teasingly.

"Well I guess so." I laid a plate of food in front of his face and sat down myself, drinking a glass of water as usual.

I looked him up and down and immediately caught myself staring.

Lucky he was too bother by his food by the time I looked away.

He was quite fit if I say so myself, yet I have no interest in him.

Other than work. I managed to think that it was just work and we are just work buddies, right?

Or so I thought.

"Done?" I asked and he nodded in response.

I grabbed his plate and quickly washed it with my hydro powers.

"Damn. . . " I heard him mumble.

Obviously I wasn't meant to hear that.

"Wriothesley."

"Oh sh*t yeah-" He  looked away immediately after I said that.

He had a nervous look on his face when I turned around.

"Lady Furina will probably come soon. I recommend you put on some clothes, or at least cover yourself up."

"Why? You jealous someone else is gonna see my body?" He smirked.

That stupid smirk again.

Why'd this guy have to be so teasing?

"No. You've already revealed your body to the hydro dragon, I'm sure you don't wanna show the archon too."

"Fine. Yet. . I did not bring a change of clothes." He muttered.

"Just grab a hoodie or a jacket from my wardrobe and zip it up or something. Unless you wanna wear your shirt from yesterday with it."

"Sure then." He walked off upstairs.

Bang!

And sure enough the door bursted open.

"Neuvillette! I know your taking a day off and all but, could you at least take some of the paperwork?" She pleaded.

I didn't have the energy to deal with this today so. .

"Fine. Put it in on the table." I muttered, angrily.

"Yay! Thank you, Monsieur." She made sure to say it extra fancy as she does that whenever she gets what she wants.

"Also. I have a question Neuvillette."

"Hmm?" I hummed.

"Is there another person here? I hear footsteps."

"Well about that. . -"

"Neuvillette. You're in your half dragon form. Please don't tell me you-"

And Wriothesley came walking down the stairs confidently.

Until he saw Furina that is.

"Uh."

"Wriothesley??" She gasped in shock.

This wasn't gonna end well.

"Why is he wearing. . Did you two-"

"NO-" He yelled in a instant.

Did we what?

What was she implying?

"What do you mean?"

"Oh my goodness." He looked at me.

"He is so innocent." Lady Furina mumbled.

"I heard that." I said, sternly.

"Yet it's true." She smiled.

"I agree." He replied, looking at Furina before turning to me.

Him too?

I must be missing something.

Maybe I should ask the Melusines when I see them.

Or perhaps Sigewinne.

"Whatever. Off that topic. What is the Duke doing here and why has he seen your dragon form?" She spat, seriously.

"Well- he insisted on seeing it and uhm- since his apartment was a decent walk away I decided to let him stay here. ." I smiled.

"You showed him just because he asked? God you really are an idiot."

"I'm not an idiot. I reckon I'm very smart in fact." I snarled back, actually gritting my teeth and properly growling.

"Wow, the Ludex of Fontaine? Growling? How cute." Wriothesley teased even more and I looked at him with wide eyes as he smirked.

And it seemed Furina also looked at him with wide eyes.

"What? It's just a bit of teasing?"

"Teasing THE hydro dragon?" She retorted.

"Oh uhm yeah." He mumbled and looked at me.

Then almost instantly getting lost in my dragon features.

"WRIOTHESLEY!" She yelled.

"What!? You can't blame me!"

I felt my face heat up from that comment.
