Lukas' P.O.V~
"- and that's how you create a protective barrier....." I state, finishing my first magic theory lesson before turning to face (y/n), who is diligently writing notes is a small, bound (colour) notebook. A small grin creeps onto my lips as I observe the cute expression she wears as she concentrates, stifling the urge to chuckle at the way the tip of her tongue slightly protrudes from her lips, and the soft humming noise she makes as her pen scratches across the page. Soon enough both of these noises halt as she sets down her pen and raises her face to meet my gaze. I feel a tightening sensation in my chest and a heat rise in my cheeks as I observe sparkling (e/c) eyes and a wide, excited grin.... God she looks adorable, Especially dressed in the bakery's uniform: a black and grey dress that sports red highlights and a red bow under its collar, along with long black socks and red lace up, knee-high boots. My own outfit mirrors her own being a grey vest over a red and white pinstripe shirt with black pants and apron, a red tie around my neck..... A bit unusual sounding, I know, but it was my idiotic older brother who chose the uniforms....
"So when do we get to try actually doing it?" She asks in a tone that consists of both curiosity and excitement. I pause for a second, before pulling out my phone to check the time.
"Not right now.... Our break ends in about 5 minutes, so we'll have to head back to the shop.... But if you have time after your shift then we might be able to get onto the practical side of the lesson..." I state, raising my eyes from my phone to meet hers. Her face briefly contorts showing a disappointed expression, before resuming its more natural smiling state.
"I don't think staying an extra hour after work would bother mum too much... But I'll just send her a text to make sure" she replies, in turn pulling out her phone before begging to quickly tap away on it.
Yesterday I had to explain the events that occurred both at the beach and in the Forrest to (y/n)'s mother, who took the news surprisingly well, happily agreeing both to my elder brother's proposal of giving her a job here and me teaching her daughter magic. She said something about it being good self defense, as well as extra protection against 'that idiota bastardo' ..... Who ever that is.... She also seems to trust me a little bit more now... Kinda...
....
Well at least she doesn't immediately start to emit an aggravated, over protective aura whenever she sees me near (y/n) any more....
....
Oh, and she also offered to have Esther stay with her and (y/n) to help with her duty. The nymph seemed to take a liking to mumzilla, just as mumzilla seemed to take a liking to the nymph.... Maybe it was out of a mutual dislike for me? Who knows...
.....
I look up as a loud ping echoes through the dark brick room, indicating that (y/n) received a reply from her mother. She opens the message as I stare at her expectantly, awaiting the answer.
" she said it would be fine so long a as you don't try any funny business " she giggles out. I roll by eyes at the ludicrousness of her mother's conditions.
I mumble " what does that woman take me for? A sexual predator or some sort?!" In irritation, earning yet another giggle from (y/n).
"No, mum just isn't overly quick to trust strangers.... Especially with dad being who he is...." She trails off, a pained look crossing her features.
Come to think of it, this is the first time she's ever mentioned a father in front of me...
And the look on her face says that she probably shouldn't have said what she just uttered...
