Title: Hide and Seek
Characters: Guy Cecil, Luke on Fabre (child)
Notes: Set a few weeks after Luke is recovered from Choral Castle after his kidnapping, he can speak fine but he's too tired to. A game of hide and seek goes astray when no one can find the young Master Luke.
The game was only supposed to last a few hours, something to keep the boy busy after his studies and before his dinner.
"Master Luke? Master Luke! Where are you?"
It was becoming much more than a simple game.
"Did you find him?"
"I'm sorry Milady, he's still missing."
"Find him at once!"
"Yes, Milord."
Guy didn't care two Gald for the child, but he was his caretaker and, unless he wanted to lose his job, he had to take care of the energetic boy. While the maids scurried up and down the halls, yelling for the young Master, he decided to try his luck outside.
"Master Luke? You can come out now, it's dinnertime and your parents are very worried."
A bird chirped, another answered it. Then, a soft snap brought him to quick attention, one hand on the hilt of the sword he'd been allowed to own. He quietly stepped towards the sound, his heartbeat pounding in overtime. A small cry. Breaking into a run, Guy headed for the sobbing and peeked around a tree.
There, with his face scratched up and forehead bleeding, was the young Master Luke.
Guy withheld a sigh of relief and stepped out from the shadows, Luke stopping his crying to look up at him.
"Master Luke, have you been here the entire time?"
He nodded, wiping his eyes quickly to discard the tears.
"Hey, it's alright now. You just have a few scratches is all, and now I've found you so you'll be fine," Guy told the boy in what he hoped to be a soothing tone, picking him up and blowing gently on the wounds. Luke swallowed a sob and gave a small hiccough in response, burying his face into Guy's rough clothes with a pained whimper.
The maids went for him as soon as he stepped out of the small thicket, fussing over the young Master and scaring the living daylights out of Guy, who stumbled backwards and nearly fell. Luke hugged closer to him and watched the young maids giggle at his caretaker with tired eyes.
"Oh Guy, if you'd just date us you'd be cured in no time!"
"N-no ladies, it's fine enough for me to be able to look at your beauty from afar."
They giggled behind their hands and left to tell the Lady of his success, talking of how Guy was going to kiss me first, no me cried another, and yet another claimed to have kissed him already. It was true to a point, he had been surprised when the maid had come out of no where and pecked him on the cheek. Surprised, and startled. The girls clucked to one another as they went into the manor, and Guy gave a genuine sigh of relief. He looked down at the boy he was carrying and smiled.
"Let's go show your mother you're alright, yeah? And then we'll eat."
