It was two weeks now since you went away from the sanctuary for your first contract. Would you really fuck up that bad just because you couldn't find the target? You had gotten completely lost in the woods. "There should have been a way here.. Did i take a wrong turn again..?"
A hand crept over your shoulder and you were grabbed by the throat. "Wha-?!" another hand held your mouth shut. "Mmph!!" "Shhh~" That giggle.. That unholy, insane giggle.. "F-fifero! Lem e go!" "But it looks like you need some help. Would you really mind having some company on the way?"
You shook your head and he took his hand away from your mouth. "As long as you can help me i won't mind." You could feel him breathing against your neck. 'W-why is he so close?'
"Let's make this quick, Mother needs Cicero to return soon." He showed you the way and after three days you arrived. You walked nearly without a stop, barely even sleeping, just so you could be back faster.
"Cicero actually quite likes (y/n), he is nicer than Cicero thought at first." You smiled a little. Sure, Cicero could be annoying sometimes, but he wasn't a bad person. Besides the killings of course, but you were no better when it came to that.
"Cicero?" "Mh?" "Thank you. Thank you for helping me. And for being here." He grinned. "But you owe Cicero one for this. You can help with making the oils for Mother." "Ok."
The kill was easy and you were back in the sanctuary in time. Helping him was a bit.. Complicated. Everything had to be perfect. Sure, if it wasn't made right then the oils might not work, but to be so niggling?
Luckily you only had to make the oils, and not oil her. That would have been.. Yeah, let's not talk about it. He hummed and put some ingredients together. 'He is kind of strange today. Is it because of Mother?'
He pulled you to the side by your waist and grabbed the bottle of oil. "You're a great help for Cicero." 'Oh god, he is so close.'
