Chapter 5

"Master do you have a Steam identification yet?"

"An Identification?" I called in confusion as Doxin was making breakfast.

"Yes, it's to show you are a permanent resident of Steam City so you don't have to pay two silvers every month you stay here. The only thing you gotta pay is some coppers for the identification."

I took a sip of milk going deep into thought while listening to the clinks and dinks of the kitchen instruments.

My heart suddenly missed a beat as the thought of having to stay in these city walls for the rest of time settles in the pit of my stomach. In a pit of fear, I shouted a little too loudly.

"₦Ø"

The kitchen suddenly went quiet, I clutched my heart to calm the stupid human feelings. Maybe I should absorb a golem so I won't have to feel emotions, but at the same time, it makes me feel alive.

"Are you okay?"

"AH! ugh don't scare me," Doxin had leaned against the chair his upsidedown head jump scaring me.

"Haha but you're so cute when you're scared. So what's wrong master?" Doxin smiled while annoyingly poking my face.

"I just realized, I want to explore the world. I think I had a good stay so far, I'll leave in a few days if that's okay with you." I patted Doxins head as I got up smelling if the food was done in the kitchen.

"NO"

I turned around in surprise at Doxins reaction, did I say something wrong to trigger such emotion? Doxins face was dark as he grabbed my arm tightly.

"Y-you can't leave yet...you still haven't paid off your fees for staying here so- so I'll go with you."

"But don't you want to get your job back? I'm sure it's a hassle staying by my side the whole way. Plus you have a nice home and it may take more years than a lifetime to travel the whole world. Once I get enough money to pay off the debt I may already be halfway around the world taking a long time for you to get back to Steam cit- hmph"

What's this?

If my data is correct Doxin shouldn't be doing this with me.

My eyes glowed as I looked at Doxin trying to figure out what he's thinking with body language.

He held my chin as he kissed me but that was only the beginning as he opened my mouth sticking his tongue inside. I've seen couples and married people do such things but never would have expected myself to do this with Doxin of all people. An odd feeling at the pit of my stomach traveled to my face; I suddenly felt very hot.

My face felt like flames, my brain began to release odd emotions I've never felt before as my eyes drew tears.

Doxin released the kiss so we could breathe, our pants mixing together in a somehow steamy harmony. AH! I covered my mouth looking away, this reminds me of the word "erotic." Thinking of what happened in a more clear mind sent shivers down my spine. It felt weirdly nice.

"Doxin why did you-"

"I like you"

"eh," once again shocked into silence I looked for any lies on his face but all I saw was an animal shooting holes through my head. He leaned down to my ear and whispered,

"I like you so much I want to eat you instead of breakfast, and at night I have dreams of you tied up in red rope while calling my name being nude and exposed only to me. You smell so good I want to bit you at this very moment."

I don't know how to respond. Rouge was right, I attract, but to this extent?

"I smell good?" I questioned while thinking of how to deal with this new situation I never thought I would come across. Doxin pulled me into a seating position on his lap while explaining.

"Yes, your scent is like crystals and gems. You also have the air of pure making me want to protect you. I want to be your partner, can you agree? I'll leave if you don't like it, you are still my master, just think of me as your traveling butler."

My data is overloaded I think I may need rehabilitation until it's processed.

"Yes, no, sure, ah...Doxin I'm going to sleep for 2 hours 27 minutes and 6 seconds. Get back to you after my data is refreshed-"

-𝗗𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝘃-

I frowned looking down only to see he's passed out.

Suddenly a new string of thoughts came to mind, maybe Eirwen isn't as simple as I thought. I picked him up while setting a timer on a clock for 2 hours and 27 minutes. I layed him down while tucking him in, in deep thought, I went back to the kitchen.

My tail wagged in happiness, IM SO HAPPY!~ I finally confessed and Eirwen wasn't weirded out about it. He even responded to my kiss! I hummed while smiling my heart drowning in joy. After making the breakfast I sat it out for later while packing the things I find important. Along with the money I saved up as my time as a butler, it could probably last a few years of travel.

After I was done I set out to tell Eirwens employees he's leaving the city soon and quit his job. When I got home two hours had already passed. Eirwen still hasn't woken up yet. I narrowed my eyes thinking of the last thing he said before passing out. Data, refreshed, and the exact time he would wake up. If he actually wakes up the exact time he said he would that definitely brings my suspicion he isn't normal at a greater height.

The alarm rang jolting me out of my thoughts, I quickly turned it off and counted.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

He woke up.

"Your finally awake master! I have breakfast, here let me help you." I happily smiled picking up Eirwen and sitting him on a stull. "So master, have you decided yet?"

-𝗘𝗶𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝘃-

"Alright, if you want to be my partner so badly I'll allow it for now," I yawned rubbing my eyes as Doxin grinned wildly while heating breakfast from earlier. While I shut down due to my data overheating I got a clear head as I woke up. I wanted to learn about relationships long before, and being in one would help my data on the subject. maybe I'll experience "love."

"When is the best time to leave?" I asked feeding Doxin a pancake, something I've grown accustomed to living here, was feeding Doxin. He seemed to really like it.

"Right now, spring is here so right now is the best time."

"Hm, tomorrow then?" I tested.

"Yup," Doxin smiled.
