Chapter VII: Something Sweet
Selena currently walking down the hallway with a tray of food. She has been up since early in the morning. She decided it was a great idea to make everyone breakfast and she even brought it to their room. One of the first people to receive breakfast was Lao G because he was the only person who was up this time with her to train. She thought he had been training hard so he must be tired and hungry. Now she is heading to the Young Master room. She saves him for last, he is the king and he deserves a breakfast that fit for a king. Lao G advice was to make something normal and not so classy. So she makes him classic pancake with butter and syrup. It's nothing much but she has put a lot of effort to make it perfect just the way he likes it and she even cut the butter into a crown shape.
She opens the door and quietly walks in, trying not to wake him up. She gently put the tray down on the table next to his bed, pouring a cup of hot coffee and placing a newspaper on the tray. Then she noticed there was something else on the table next to the tray. It was the Young Master's sunglasses. She was curious what he had looked like without them. She looked over trying to see her master's sleeping form, but it was too dark to see anything, she could open the curtain to see better but afraid that would awaken the Young Master. She stood there and look for a while. He looked peaceful and kind even without a smile on his face. The morning wind was strong enough to shove the curtain away, letting some light into the room. Showing her his face.
What!? He looks just like...
She closed her eyes and shook her head then reopen to make sure she was seeing it right. But the curtain closed again and darkness continues to cover the room. She sighed thinking maybe it was just her imagination. She then walked out of the room without making any sound.
Time Skip...
Selena places her tea and dessert on her table next to her window. Every day she would enjoy a short quiet 30 minutes of her time with herself and her loyal companion, Rouge. She sat down on her chair after setting down one of Rouge favorite treat, a plate of sliced apple. Back in Season Weather, it a real challenge to find any decent apple in Wynter Wood and going to Spring Field to get an apple is say easier then done, the farmer doesn't give up on their crops especially if they work too hard to grow them plus farming is one of the best way to get enough money for a whole family in Spring Flied. So Rouge cherish every slice of apple he has ever gotten from Selena every time she came to visit him.
Selena took a sip from her tea and look down at the family members enjoying there time under the sun like always. Her room is at the middle of the mansion meaning it the opposite with the swimming pool but upstairs. She looks down at them. Diamante, Trebol, Lao G, Jora, and Pica are playing card in one side; Senior Pink being crowded by pretty girls in one side; Machvise swimming in the pool; Gladius sitting on the other side drinking a cocktail; finally is Young Master sitting on his couch with pretty girls everywhere by his side and little Sugar next to him with a bow of grapes. She watches the family spend their day it makes her think they been so nice to her. They took her into their family as one of them without any hesitation even when she nothing but a slave, help her when she needed and even let her visit her home without even think she may escape and run away. She should thanks them somehow, bringing them breakfast for the past week doesn't seem to be enough. There must be something else she can do, but what these people literally have everything here. It has to be something special, something that only she can do best... She then looks down at her cake. Or maybe something sweet.
***
Baby 5, Buffalo and Dellinger just got back from a mission that the Young Master trust them to complete. As they chatting down the hallway when they stop on their track when they catch a delightful scene.
' What is that sweet sweet smell.' They ask themselves and follow the smell to the kitchen. They won't go in and grab the treat for themselves, but the door was locked. So they took a peek through the keyhole. They could see someone with a chef hat decorating a cake with peaches. They didn't see who it caused their main focus was on the cake.
" That cake looks delicious~ "
" Eww!! You are drooling on me Buffalo."
" Knock it off you two I can't see."
The three started to fight. When the door surprised open making the three falling on the floor. They look up at the person who stood before them.
***
Everyone was at the pool minding their own business. When Baby 5 happily tell for everyone to gather around with a cake on her hands, followed by Selena with another cake, Buffalo and Dellinger with the plates, fork and spoon and Rouge flying above them following Selena closely. Baby 5 started to slice the cake as Selena give everyone a piece.
" Yum~ This is very delicious Baby 5."
" Yeah! It really good. There a G."
" Did you make these yourself "
" Oh no, this isn't my idea." It shocks the family, it isn't like Buffalo and Dellinger can bake, certainly, they would share it either and there no way a servant would bake something without making it without order.
" This was all Selena idea." She continued after grabbing the white-headed back to the crowd as she tries to walk away from them. Everyone became quiet. That makes her upset even though she doesn't show it much. Maybe the family just think she useless like her sister did so that why they only think Baby 5 bake those cake. Or maybe she still doesn't trust her so now they know she makes the cake they stop eating them and throw them away. Or maybe...
" Wowie Selena I didn't know you can bake this is really amazing."
" Yes, the best one I ever tasted."
" who knew you can be so good at something like this."
But all of those ideas were erased from her mind when she heard that. She was so happy they like it they really like something that she made. Looking at everyone smiling faces filled her heart with joy. Even those they spend time with each other and always being happy, but they never really this close to each other like a real family before.
" Here ya go, Selena. You deserve this." Baby 5 gave her a slice of cake and smile at her. She nods and walks over to the young master who seems to be distracted and keep staring at the piece of cake on the table in front of him if he seeing something in it. He then felt like someone tugging his shirt. He turns back to his normal expression smiling again and look over. He saw her holding a piece of cake on a spoon close to him.
" Ahh." She trying to feed him the cake. It the cutest thing the family ever has seen. Doflamingo giggle and took a bite from the spoon.
" Fufufu Delicious. Thank you, Selena. You are doing a good job making those cake." He smiles and pats her head.
