"Lady [Lastname]?"

"Lady [Lastname], it is time to wake up."

A soft groan came from the bed as [Name] stirred, her hand rubbing at her eyes. "Mhmm... Angel? Is that you..?" she mumbled, her voice heavy with sleep, only being able to see the faint silhouette of the man,

The figure standing near the window chuckled lightly, their features obscured by the morning light streaming in from behind them. "I'm afraid I am not an angel, Miss."

She blinked, her vision slowly adjusting to the brightness. As the haze cleared, her eyes focused on a familiar face.

"Oh, good morning, Agni..."

...

"AGNI?!"

She shot upright, fully awake now as she scrambled back against the bedframe, clutching the duvet tightly to her chest.

"Namaste, Lady [Lastname]!" Agni greeted her cheerfully, his hands pressed together in a respectful gesture, as though the situation were entirely normal.

[Name] stared at him, her mind racing to catch up. Fragments of the previous day's events flickered through her memory. "Huh..." she muttered, still trying to piece things together.

"I'm here to bring you down for breakfast!" Agni announced warmly, his voice filled with sincerity. The man appeared blissfully unaware of how odd the scene might appear.

Her gaze dropped to her attire—just a simple nightgown. Her eyes darted back to Agni, who remained oblivious to any potential impropriety.

"Now—"

"Ahhh!"

Before she could protest, Agni swept her up into his arms, cradling her as though she were as delicate as fine porcelain.

[Name] froze for a moment, her mind caught between mortification and disbelief. She finally managed to sputter, "A-Agni! Put me down! This is completely—"

"Lord Ciel is already preparing for the day. You must do the same, or the food will get cold," Agni interrupted with his usual serene smile, entirely unaffected by her protests.

Just then, the door burst open with a loud bang.

[Name] whipped her head toward the noise to find Sebastian standing in the doorway, Ciel and Lau just behind him.

"...Well..." Sebastian's usually composed demeanour faltered for a moment as he seemed to search for the appropriate words.

Ciel's expression was blank, his eyes flicking between [Name] and Agni as though calculating the situation.

Lau, on the other hand, grinned broadly. "May I join?" he asked with his usual lack of filter.

"GET OUT!!" [Name] shrieked, thrashing in Agni's arms, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

Agni, however, remained utterly composed, his serene smile never wavering. "For breakfast, we'll be having—"

"I don't care about breakfast right now!" she snapped, her voice rising as she squirmed in his grasp.

The innocent man merely continued his cheerful explanation as if her protests were of little consequence, entirely focused on his mission of ensuring she wouldn't miss the morning meal...

"How long do you two intend to stay in my house?"

[Name] sighed softly, her exhaustion evident. This morning's chaotic scene had drained her, and as someone who was decidedly not a morning person, her patience was wearing thin.
