My servant can't possibly be my love interest! (I hate myself for this title)

"Master!"

     I was pulled out of my thoughts thanks to his yell. I sit up in my bed and look at him. "What is it, Rider?" I ask, slightly annoyed at his disturbance. He looks at me with a concerned look on his face. "Y-yeah I'm fine don't worry, Rider." I answered to reassure him. He sighs and shakes his head at me. "C'mon Master you need to take care of yourself more. We've been training nonstop everyday, you're pushing yourself too much. You have to rest too!" He exclaimed. I looked at him and couldn't help but smile.

     Having a servant was one of the strangest things that has ever happened to me. I never imagined that I as a young mage would have the honor of serving Chaldea to protect the world from devastation. Chaldea was an opportunity for me to contribute to the world in some way, so when I was confronted with the option, I politely accepted. After being brought to Chaldea, I was instantly ordered to summon a servant, which I gladly agreed to. It was something new to me, obviously, so I was very optimistic about it. The servant that I summoned was... interesting to say the least. He was Astolfo, who was a rider class servant. He confused me at first, because he appeared to be really femenine: long, pink braid of hair that reaches his back, and a pretty girly outfit. He introduced himself to me, and I later found out that he enjoys wearing girly outfits because he finds them cute.

     After I summoned my servant, I was instantly rayshifted to a singularity all by myself, where I was told to fend off numerous lesser demons and such monsters as a type of "welcoming". The two of us had managed to defeat all of the monsters, but with great difficulty, which is when I found out that Astolfo wasn't that strong of a servant. Plus, I wasn't the brightest mage either, still wondering as to why I was chosen to serve Chaldea.

     So, since that day, all I did was train with Astolfo as much as I could and practice spells and such so I could become stronger, which apparently took a huge toll on my body. I found out that servants gain mana from their masters, and that I was pretty much draining all of the energy I had in my body.

     It wasn't the first time I had zoned out, and I even sometimes fainted from overexhaustion. Sometimes I would even stay up all night to try and master my handy dandy spells, leaving me with no sleep at all. Astolfo obviously noticed how drained of energy I was and had tried to make me rest more to no avail. He seems to really care for me, but it's probably because he is bounded to me by contract and if I die he dies as well.

     "Rider, I'm glad you're worrying about me, but I rest plenty enough don't worry!" I lied through my teeth. It's been two days since I had proper sleep, and it's been a week since I had a normal dream. When I do sleep, the only dreams that I have are of the world burning, buildings demolished, corpses everywhere, and the worst of all, I'm holding a dying Astolfo in my hands. Astolfo stares at me and frowns. "Master I know you're lying." He sighs. "Listen, if you don't rest at least once in a while you will physically break yourself. I don't want that to happen to you." He says as he walks up to me and places a hand on my own. I flinch at the sudden action because I never expected him to do something like that. I move my hand away from him slowly, but he catches it and pulls it closer to him. "Master please listen! You need to rest, you've already worked yourself to the bone! Please if you won't rest for yourself then do it for me!" He pleaded. At the time, I didn't catch the last part because I was so tired. I thought about it and sighed. "Fine, Rider. Fine. I guess I can take one day off just for some rest." I said, defeated. Astolfo's eyes became as bright as stars and he grinned from ear to ear. It was sorta cute, honestly. "Yay! Master isn't going to overexert himself!" He exclaimed.

     I stare blankly at what's in front of me. "Eh?" Astolfo turns towards me and grins. "I figured the best way for you to relax is to have a day off!" He exclaimed as he ran up to me. "We can do anything you want to for one day!" I couldn't help but facepalm and chuckle. "Heh... Honestly, my idea of "rest" is to, you know, sleep, maybe?" I looked at him and couldn't help but smile. "But still, thanks, Rider. It means a lot to me that you care this much about me." I say as I rustle his hair. "So what would you like to start off with, Master?" Astolfo asks with a slight blush on his cheeks. At that moment, my stomach grumbled really loudly. My face flushes from embarrassment as Astolfo tries to stifle a laugh. "Master it looks like we should probably eat first, huh?" He says, still holding back his giggles. "Y-yeah I guess we should. L-lead the way." I say as I avert my gaze.
