iv. Fleeting

The child's face lit up seeing her with him. It was a rather pleasant surprise even if he tried not to show it.

"Did you wait for us for long?" she asked the child as she ruffled his hair.

"Hey," he pouted and pushed her away, earning a sharp glare from Dominus. 

Knowing how protective he is, she immediately diverted the attention to the cake, asking the child if he wants some.

The child blushed as he asked them to sit down, she tried not to laugh as he behaved so maturely for a five-year-old. He really was way more advanced than other children his age, no wonder he finds his class boring.

She sliced the cake and gave the child his share first, Dominus glared at her. "What?" she asked when the child went to play. 

"I wanted to be the first. When it comes to you, you should think of me first before anyone else," he sulked.
