Bento Boxes (Maddie)

"F/N Sensei!" calls young Iruma, "Hey! Where were you last week?"

You smile at your young student. "I had bit of a cold, I'm feeling better now, though."
"Oh, I didn't know, Is there anything you need?"
"No, I'm good. Thank you, though."
"Master Iruma," says someone who appears to be more masculine, though you're not quite sure. They've got red hair in what looks like a bowl-cut up top, and long in the back, twisted into a braid. Their ears-like all demon's-are pointed and long. But they also have a second pair, that resemble that of a cat's. Their fair skin is complemented by big poppy eyes that peer at you with little to no emotion. Then, you happen to notice a tail moving back and forth, their face mostly blank.
"Opera!" A big smile splits onto the blue-haired boy's face. "Taking me home?"
"Yes, Master Iruma, I've brought the carriage for you and Master Sullivan."
Suddenly, the boy gets an uncomfortable look on his face. "Oh- thanks-."
"Are you unsatisfied with the carriage?" Their ears begin to droop down, leaving a bubbly feeling in your gut and blood rushing to your cheeks.
"N- no! Just tired is all! Oh! Have you met F/N Sensei?" He gestures to you.
"No, I do not believe so." Putting their hand to their chest, Opera gives a very small, curt bow. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. F/N. I am Opera, butler of Master Sullivan and Master Iruma."
"The pleasure is all minc. I'm one of Iruma's teachers. He's such a good kid."
"Yes, Master Iruma is quite the nice child, I thank you for taking such good care of him. He talks of you quite often."
You smile. "I'm happy to."
"Would you like to come for dinner?"
Iruma gets a big smile. "Opera is the best cook! You should definitely come!"
"If you insist."
'Where's the harm? Besides, Opera is rather good-looking:/'

"I can help." you say as you pop your head into the kitchen. You've never really cooked before, but it can't be that hard can it?
"No, you are a guest." replies Opera. "You may go and lounge with the chair demon and Master Iruma."
"I insist!" You come in entirely. "Just tell me what to do, chef!"
"Well, what do you know how to cook?"
"Nothing, but I can learn."
"Okay, well, boil some water."
"Yes, Sir!"
You get a pot and go to fill it with water, but you trip on nothing and fall over, throwing the pot, hitting the floor, and the pot falls onto your head like a hat.
With a groan, you say flatly, "Ouch."
"Are you all right, Ms. F/N?"
"Yep, I'm fine." You pull the pot off your head and stand up. "Okay! Let's try that again!"
You manage to fill the pot with water and take it to the stove. When you turn it on, you think for a moment. The stove has to heat up first, right? Like a shower? Yeah, that makes sense. You put your palm flat on the stove, then howl in pain.
"Oh, God! That's hot! These things heat up faster than I thought!"
Confused, Opera says, "It's a stove. They're hot from the moment you turn it on."
Through your teeth, you explain, " Aren't they like showers or faucets? Y'know, take awhile to heat up?"
"No? It's a stove. I don't comprehend why you thought that. Here, let's run this under hot water." They takes your wrist gently and lead you to the sink as they turn the water on, Gingerly, they put your hand under the cold water.
Not meaning to, you sigh in relief. It really does help with the burn.
"Wait here while I get the first-aid kit, okay? And keep your hand under the water."
Releasing your hand, they walk away and out the kitchen.
The moment of their hand around yours replays in your mind, putting a blush on your face. At the time, you were distracted by pain. But at the sweet relief of water, you can think clearly. A really good-looking person had their hands on yours.
When they come back with the medical kit, they turn the water off and bring your hand close to their face for inspection, putting a deep blush on your face.
"Hmm, it's not too bad. I'll put ointment on and then wrap it up." And they do just that.
They're quick with it, and you miss the warmth of their hands when they're finished.
"Thank you, Opera. Maybe no more stove?"
"No more kitchen. Go with Master Sullivan and Master Iruma."
"No! I wanna help! I can do this!"
