Ruki's P.O.V

I woke up to see Plue starting at me with the look of worry on his face. It was strange to be able to read this from a snowman but for him it was easy. I couldn't help but wonder what had been wrong. I arched a brow. "What's wrong?"

"Plue!" He got off of my bed and went down the hall. I sighed before I got up and followed him only to see him run into Lucy's room. My eyes widened before I ran into the room. Lucy was laying in bed with a pale look on her face. As she saw Plue and me she smiled.

"Master, Plue" I touched her forehead with the back of my hand to feel that it had been hot. I then moved it to her cheek along with her neck to feel that it had been all the same.

"You're sick"

"It is a slight fever but I can make it through it." She tried to stand up but I sat her back down.

"No, you can't." I looked at Plue before I looked at her.

"Just a second ago I limited her magic, just in case Leo decided to come out. " Could this be because she didn't have as much power as before. No, it had to be more than that. If Plue was from her energy and I had him all night, then she lost her energy throughout the night. What made it worse was that I bit her last night. Why would she let Plue stay with me knowing the consequences?

"Master I am fine really. I am going to start breakfast." I sat her down and looked at her.

"I want you to send Plue back." Her eyes widened.

"But-"

"Now" She nodded before she looked at Plue.

"See you later Plue."

"Plue Plue" She sent him back before her skin started to slightly turn back to normal. So I was right.

"Do you feel better?" She nodded. "Good" She was about to stand when I stopped her.

"Master, breakfast hasn't been started yet."

"Then I will make it. Now sit here." Her cheeks reddened.

"But-"

"No buts"

Lucy's P.O.V

An Hour Later

I woke up to feeling a cold rag being placed in my head. I opened my eyes to see Ruki placing a hot bowl down, along with a cup of water on the nightstand. "Master" He looked at me. "Thank you" He blushed before he looked away.

"The soup is hot to eat but you should be fine." He sat next to me. "Why didn't you tell me that you were losing your energy, idiot." I sat up and looked at him.

"I wanted you to be happy."

"I would be happy knowing that there was nothing wrong with you." The dim lit man for once felt, what appeared to be another emotion besides pain. It resembled relief. He placed his hand underneath my chin and brought my face closer to him. I wanted to look away but it had been hard. He was like a submitted angel. His grace is what he tried to keep hidden but it had been troublesome.

"If you were to do that again, I will punish you. Do you understand?" The beautiful cold angel cared about how I was. In his trance, I couldn't help but nod.

"Okay master"
