Episode 4 Finale - Make it Mine
“I apologize for taking so long, master,” I said as I entered the study. “I got preoccupied with—"
I broke off when I looked at her desk.
Yumi was sitting on her large, cushioned desk chair, elbow set on the armrest as she set her head on her hand.
I could tell by her soft breaths that she was asleep.
I just smiled, lashes lowering as I set her nightly milk down. “Well… I guess that’s wasted now. She doesn’t need it.”
I then stepped over to the chair, gazing down at her as she slept, and my lashes lowered.
But I just leaned down and guided her out from the chair, scooping her up seconds later.
She stirred at the movement. “Sebastian?”
“My lord?” I said.
“What are you doing?” she whispered.
I just started walking. “Taking you to bed, master.”
“Oh…” she said then, “okay.”
And she did something unexpected; she nuzzled her face in my shoulder and turned closer, easing into me.
I gazed down at her in surprise, lips parting.
But she was asleep again, breathing softly against me.
I just smiled softly and continued down the hallway, finally ending at her bedroom and carrying her in.
After quickly changing her into her nightly outfit, I guided her correctly into the mattress and pulled the sheets over her.
I then pushed my hand under the strings of her eye patch, slid it off, and exposed her unbroken eye.
I gazed down at her for a moment before my lashes lowered, and I leaned down.
Quietly, I pushed her bangs up, and then bent forward to gently set my lips on her forehead.
She stirred at the movement.
I just pulled away and made sure she was comfortable, adjusting her bangs back in place. “Good night, master. Sweet dreams tonight. If you need anything, just call my name.”
After setting her eye patch on the nightstand, I then exited the room, closing the door behind me.
“Sebastian,” Cammie said from my right, wiping her eyes as she yawned, “did I just see you carry master to bed? Is she alright?”
“She’s fine. Just tired, that’s all.” I glanced over at her. “You can go back to bed, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Cammie gazed up at me hazily. “Why did you carry her if she wasn’t sick?”
I just smiled, making her lips part. “A butler always takes care of his master, Cammie. That’s our job, after all.”
Her brows drew together at my soft smile. “Oh… okay.”
“Now go to bed,” I told her, starting down the hall. “You have a big day tomorrow.”
“Yes, Sebastian,” she said.
I felt her stare at me, then glance at Yumi’s bedroom door before her lashes lowered, and she walked off to her bedroom.
