Shuttered Impulses [HIATUS]

Chapter 5

"Miss, Madam sent Caia over to ask you to join her for breakfast," Senri's voice intruded on Mei's sleeping haze.

"Nn, okay Senri. Help me get ready."

When she peaked her eyes open she was greeted with a jittery red Senri. He was wearing his normal maid dress with his hair pulled back into a hair tie and a braid alongside the top. It was a rather girly hairstyle and Mei had to hold back the laughter. This wasn't to say that it was a fitting look for him but with the knowledge that he was a boy.. it hurt her stomach thinking about it.

".. Miss, I can go get another maid to help you with this."

It has always been the duty of two of the lower maids to help with undressing and dressing their Miss. Ever since Mei had woken from her injuries though, she's been demanding Senri to do it. He didn't dislike it but he was afterall a man even if he looked like a woman. Senri felt depressed.

"You're my head maid. As such, this is your duty Senri. Stop acting like a little girl."

Mei had divested herself of the blanket and stood in front of Senri. She was still in the male clothing from yesterday's excursion, dirty and rumpled from sleep.

Senri couldn't even argue with his Miss so he steeled his heart and went to grab clothes for her. He chose a flowing white and pink dress that would compliment her hair. Mei watched this all through half slitted eyes as humor flashed through them. Her dimples deepened as her smile grew bigger.

Senri was slightly absent minded and shifted to auto pilot as he untied the garment on his Misses body. It was a rather ambigious image, the both of them made. She wore a white silk wrapped around her breast, revealing an ample amount of cleavage and her lower undergarment was the twin to it but wrapped in a way to cover herself. Senri tried very hard not to notice the unblemished smooth skin or the bulging handful of breasts presented to him. His blood heated up and he hurriedly turned to grab the new clothes.

If Mei hadn't found it so amusing, she'd have probably beat Senri senseless for jerking her body around in pursuit to quickly cover her up. After a long struggle, Senri let out a huge sigh of relief once his Miss was completely covered.

"Senri, are you carrying something inside of your robes," Mei questioned with an innocent inquiry.

Though she seemed genuinely curious and unaware, Senri knew his Miss was teasing him. He really wanted to dig a hole and beat his lower member dead.

He blushed profusely and helped Mei into a chair so he could do her hair. His lack of response made Mei chuckle softly but didn't persist more on the subject.

By the time she was ready, her hair was brushed into silky strands and were held together near the end with a black gold clip with golden phoenixes carved into it. Her hair fell to mid thigh which made her want to cut it but she knew that it was a type of tradition in this world to grow your hair out. Longer hair was a sign of wealth and heaven's blessing. If she were to cut it off then it wouldn't effect just her but her family's image as well.

Senri had added a hint of red to her bottom lip that smeared to her upper slightly. It wasn't needed but it added its own sort of allure.

"Miss, this servant shall escort you to the Blooming Lotus courtyard."

He gave a small bow and positioned himself behind Mei. The Blooming Lotus Courtyard was actually just the name of her mother and father's residence. This world was one where men had many wives and concubines but unlike normal Nobles, Mei's father only had her mother and their one child.

This created many rumors about the Madam being outwardly kind but inwardly evil. Meaning, people assumed that Mei's mother had forced her Husband to never take another wife. They found the fact that they only had Mei a disgrace because that meant there was no heir. It wasn't that important though since they were one of the lowest Nobles and her Father merely gave some input during meetings with the King.
