Red Like Ruby (Mostly RubyxDyrroth)

~Lemon~ Maid Service (GusBy)

She laid him on his bed and pulled the covers over his shivering body. She collected a basin and a small towel from his bathroom and filled it with cold water. She returned to his side and started dabbing his forehead with the wet towel to cool his burning temperature.

Ruby looked around his house inspecting his living quarters. Gusion's house is a mess. His clothes litter the floor like confetti, some of them seem like they haven't been washed for months, some of his swords are stuck on wall, and his floor doesn't seem to know what sweeping and mopping was. Odd magical items lie randomly around the house and she even found a moving hand trapped in a jar which nearly scared her soul away. She exhaled heavily as she pulled her golden locks into a messy pony tail and prepared for the tedious work that she has to do.

Gusion woke up to the smell of roses and tea boiling in the distance, making him pull himself up in alarm and confusion. He was feeling slightly better than before and his temperature seems to have decreased. A wet towel fell from his forehead and he placed it on the basin he found on the bedside table. He looked around his room and noticed it cleaner than ever. The floor had been freed from the cluster of dirty clothes, dirt, swords and daggers, and random objects that has the possibility to turn a person into a blotch of lasagna that feel from the 30th floor. His room lost its sweaty scent and the slight smell of blood and 5 day old pizza and Chinese takeouts. The putrid odors were replaced by aromatic feminine scents like roses and fruits which really pleased him. His room finally knew what being clean was and the orderliness of his environment made him feel better and more relaxed. His house actually turned more homey.

"Thank goodness you're awake, master." cheered Ruby who was entering his room. The maiden carried a tray that he didn't own bearing a cup of what he suspect as tea, a bowl of something steaming, and a bunch of freshly baked bread.

Ruby placed the tray on the chair before lifting the basin of water and bring it back to the bathroom. She returned immediately and placed the tray on the bedside table. She lifted the bowl and scooped up a spoonful of soup.

"You must be very hungry, master. Come, I'll feed you." The maid said as she took a seat on the chair beside him.

On normal circumstances he would have refused but for some reason he actually wants her to do the said task. He opened his lips and accepted the food in mouth. His tongue coiled a bit at first because he haven't had a proper meal for quite a while but his taste organ easily acknowledged the food's delicious taste. This woman really knows how to cook. She was able to make a simple dish so delicious even with his limited resources, she probably went out and bought more ingredients for the soup.

"Is it to your liking, master?" inquired the maiden as she fed him more.

"Yes, it is very delicious. Tell me, did you really single handedly cleaned my whole room?" Gusion wondered while eating the soup.

"Not only your room but also your whole house. I changed your curtains, swept and mopped the floors, dusted the furniture, and I also did your laundry, master. I hope I've done enough to your liking." Ruby said, smiling at him.

"Actually you've done more than enough. You're actually pretty great. I mean, I didn't even pay that big for the raffle and yet I got you and a free house service, it's just so astounding." Gusion mused.

"Thank you, master. You flatter me too much." Ruby's phone suddenly vibrated, catching her attention. She took the device and looked at the screen. A small smile made its way to her lips and she directed her attention back to him.

"Can you please finish your meal? I'll just leave for a while to get your medicine. The apothecary just arrived." Ruby said as she handed him the bowl.
