I think... I'm in love with my mistress

Chapter 14

I woke up to the smell of something delicious, is that....... Pancakes? I sit up and yawn, stretching my arms and back. I sluggishly get out of bed and follow the delicious smell. It leads me to the kitchen, where I see Tomoe standing at the stove. Should I talk to him?
After what happened yesterday?
I decided that I would remain silent, I take a seat at the table. I think Tomoe noticed I was here cuz I saw his ears jerk slightly behind him. He didn't say anything though, he just kept cooking. He stacked about three pancakes on a plate, coating them with berries and little pieces of fruit. He then grabbed the plate and placed it on the table in front of me, he didn't even glance at me. I look down at the plate, it looks delicious......but I can't eat it without saying something to him.

"Thank you," I mutter as he sat across from me. He nodded in response, not saying a word. I gulp, what should I say? "Hey, I know you don't love me but no hard feelings right?" No that's just stupid, I'll just start a conversation and see where it goes. "I love pancakes, how did you know?" I asked, looking up at him as I take a bite. Hmm yum. He looked up, his lips slightly curled. "Well I try to pay attention to things you like... That's what a Familiar has to do after all, to please their mistress." He states, watching me enjoy my breakfast. "Oh ok," I mumble, "Tomoe, do you do all this stuff just because your my Familair?" His eyes widen at my sudden question, shifting in his seat slightly. "Well..... It is the job of a Familiar to learn as much as possible about their master or mistress, but—," he trailed off, pink flushed across his cheek. "I—I do it because I want to, I want to know everything I possibly can about you." He said warmly, looking into my eyes. "R-really?" I questioned. He nodded and leaned forward in his seat. It goes silent for a couple seconds before Tomoe grabs my hand from across the table, squeezing it. "About last night...I'm sorry. I didn't answer you because I was too much of a coward, I was panicking and I couldn't say anything. Because I—I love you more than words can say." I was sitting there, nearly crying. My words were caught in my throat, my cheeks became extremely hot. I wanted to jump across the table and squeeze the life out of him, and kiss him. I lean across the table and smile. "Well you don't have to be scared to express yourself, you know? Especially if your telling someone you love them.... I love you Tomoe." I beam a wide grin, giggling. "I— I love you too," he tenderly said, is this really happening? Cuz I'm loving every minute of it. I squeeze his hand and he gives me a loving smile.

He leans across the table more, getting closer to me. I decided to lean closer too. And before I knew it, we were kissing. He felt so warm, I placed my hand on his cheek. Whoa, his cheek is so hot. He pulled himself to sit on the table, he then surprisingly grabbed my waist and pulled me up too. I softly touch his neck, I feel him stiffen slightly. Tomoe slides his hand to my waist and pulls me closer, making me gasp from the sudden action. I pull back to catch my breath, but instantly Tomoe pulls me back for another kiss. As our lips locked and hands moved, I felt... Happy. Happy that Tomoe loved me, just as much as I love him. I smiled against his lips and deepened the kiss. Tomoe started licking and sucking on my bottom lip, which felt amazing! I moan faintly and part my mouth slightly.

Suddenly Tomoe pulls back. He looks around the room, alarmed. I pout childishly and glared at him. "Why'd you stop?" I asked with a immature frown. He chuckles and looks at me, "sorry (Y/n). I just feel... Uneasy."
"Uneasy about us kissing?" I asked, laughing. He stares at me, "no. It just feels like someone else is here..." I start getting worried. Tomoe gets off the table and starts looking around the room, in draws and cupboards. I sat there silently, watching Tomoe search the room. I get a glimpse of white in the corner of my eye, I jerk my head around to the corner of the kitchen, near the garbage bin. Did I just see a tail? "Um Tomoe, I think there's something near the bin." I state, he immediately runs to the bin and picks it up. Behind it was a small, pure white snake. Tomoe instantly drops the bin and grabs the snake with his slender fingers, the snake struggles and wiggles around. "Pesky little snake," Tomoe grimaced at the creature and started shaking it violently. "Tomoe stop!" I yell and stand up, running over to him. I snatch the poor snake out of his hands and held it in my right hand, it started to curl around my forearm tightly. Poor thing, it's scared to death!

I looked at Tomoe who had a shocked and disgusted look on his face, "get that snake off your arm right now!" He yelled as he tried to grab the snake back. I stepped away and shake my head. "It's just a poor snake, why were you messing around with him?" I said defensively, looking at the poor creature. Tomoe sighed and threw his arms in the air, "it's just a little snake, and besides. You need to get that 'thing' off your arm Now!" He demanded, so I walked outside and dropped the snake gently on the ground. It slithered away but before it went into the bushes, it looked back at me. Then continued to slither away. What's wrong with Tomoe? Does he have a thing against snakes or something? My right arm starts to sting, I look down and there was a strange white mark around my wrist. Hmm? What's this?
