Ookurikara x Short!Reader: Cute

Ookurikara was never the kind of person to like to get close to others. He was an intimidating loner, nothing more, so he was surprised when he found one person he actually wanted to get close to: his master, (F/N).

(F/N) was a small girl with large eyes and a shy smile, and she was cute.

As Ookurikara walked down the hall on his way to do fieldwork, he saw something out of the corner of his eye. His master was making her way down the hall, carrying two large boxes in her thin arms. He contemplated what to do. He wasn't the kind of person to want to reach out to people, but she looked so helpless...

"Do you need help?" he asked.

She looked up, just noticing him, and her face turned red.

"Um...um...yes. Thank you!"

He took the boxes, and felt their fingers brush. Her face exploded red, and she stumbled back, rubbing her hand.

"Uh, sorry..." he mumbled.

She waved her hands in the air. "No! It's okay! It's just..."

She trailed off. Ookurikara realized she had no intention of speaking again, so he continued down the hall to her room, fieldwork forgotten. She followed after him, still rubbing her hand.

The walk was silent, and he could tell she was searching for something to say, so take the pressure off, he spoke first.

"What's in the boxes?"

She jumped at his voice. "Uh...winter wear!"

"Oh, okay."

Another minute of silence. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth, but only a squeak escaped before she closed it.

"Are you okay, Aruji-do—"

"You didn't have to take both the boxes!" she exclaimed before clasping her hands over her mouth. Apparently, her voice came out louder than expected.

Ookurikara almost smiled. Almost.

"You're my master. This is my duty."

"O...oh..."

They arrived at her office, and he left the boxes inside. The moment he left, the door slammed shut behind him.

Now alone, he smiled, a slight blush appearing on his cheeks.

She's so cute!

The next day, Ookurikara was busy in the fields. He'd just finished spreading some mulch when something in the bushes caught his eye. Wondering if it was an enemy, he raised his rake, only to see a familiar (H/C) head poke out.

She took one look at him, and turned bright red.

"Aruji-dono..." Ookurikara said, glad his expression never betrayed his emotion, "what were you doing in the bushes?"

"Don't—don't look at me!"

She tried to scamper back in, but he grabbed the back of her shirt and hauled her out, easily holding her above the ground as she failed around with her tiny limbs.

"Aruji-dono, you're covered in cuts."

"I know that! It's just..."

"Aruji-dono—"

"Okay, fine!" she covered her face with her hands. "It's just...when I'm stressed, I—"

"What's going on?" a new voice interrupted.
