Nicholas popped his head out a little from the covers. "Are you sure? I really don't want you to be upset with me. I didn't mean to do that at all." He whimpered, almost like a little puppy.

Leila smiled and ruffled Nicholas's hair. "Of course not. You were frightened."

Nicholas smiled when she ruffled his hair, feeling like a puppy. He wanted to hug her again, but decided against it. "Thank you." He said, smiling lightly. He felt like he was only a little kid, even though he was only two years younger than her. He then went against his decision and gave Leila another hug, this time making sure it wouldn't end up like it did before.

Leila smiled and gently removed Nicholas's arms from around her waist. "I'd better go get your breakfast together. The cook will be concerned if I'm not down soon." She slid off the bed and went downstairs to the kitchen.

Nicholas watched her walk out, but didn't want to get up himself. He was comfy now in his bed, and the idea of Leila calmed his nerves down so he wasn't so scared anymore. He wrapped the covers over him once more and moved to the end of the bed, wanting to think that Leila was laying right next to him to help him sleep.

In the kitchen, Leila put a mug of tea on a tray with the rest of Nicholas's breakfast. Before taking the tray back upstairs, she poured herself a glass of cranberry juice and gulped it down. The tart taste quelled her headache and fully woke her up. Ready to face the rest of the day now, she returned to Nicholas's room.

Nicholas was back to sleep again, but this time not tossing and turning like he was before. All he had to do was think that Leila was next to him and he was sleeping soundly. He looked pretty cute, curled up in a ball as he slept. His hair was messy still, but it made him look even cuter.

Seeing Nicholas sleeping so soundly, Leila smiled. She didn't want to wake him, so she set the tray with his breakfast on the bedside table and went to her own room. She looked out at the view of the garden her window afforded her and sighed. She missed her family. She leaned on the sill and winced at a sudden twinge from her arm. It was probably about time to change the bandage, so she returned to the kitchen so the cook could help her clean and rebandage the cut.

Nicholas for a little while longer until he woke up. He saw that his breakfast was on the table next to him and decided to have breakfast in bed. He happily started eating as he wondered where Leila was.

When the cook had finished changing the bandage on her arm, Leila went to the music room and picked up the guitar she'd come to think of as "hers" though she knew it belonged to the master of the house. She strummed a chord thoughtfully, then started singing softly in Hebrew. It was a song from her childhood, and it comforted her to sing this song when she was homesick or thinking of her homeland and family.

Nicholas finished and went to put his dishes away, seeing that Leila wasn't there to take them away from him. Once he did that, he could here the sound of to him sounded like a sad song and headed to the music room. He listened to Leila play the song more, making him feel a little sad, and then walked into the room. "Are you sad? Do you not like being here with me? It's cause I'm not cut out to be a master huh" He started to ask, giving her a hug. "I like you here with me. Your like my only friend and always there for me. I haven't had anyone so close to me before ever since my mother was still alive." He said, starting to tear up a little. "Please don't be sad. Please don't leave me..." He said, the tone watery and sad from his tears.

Leila was startled by the hug. She'd been so wrapped up in her own world that she hadn't even heard Nicholas come into the music room. She set the guitar down beside her chair and put a hand on Nicholas's arm. "Yes, I'm sad, Master, but it's not because of you. I haven't seen my family for ten years. It only makes sense." She could hear that he was close to crying and turned so she could face him and wipe away the tears. "I'm not going to leave you, Master. I wouldn't even if I weren't a slave."

Nicholas could only hug her deeper, giving her a much bigger hug than before. He was happy that she wouldn't leave even if she wasn't a slave. "Why wouldn't you want to leave, even if you weren't a slave?" He asked. Nicholas then lost his footing and slipped on the floor and the two of them were on the floor again, this time Nicholas on top of Leila.

Now it was Leila's turn to look away, hiding her face with her hair. "Because I love you," she mumbled almost unintelligibly, blushing.

Nicholas looked at Leila as she turned away, currently on top of her. Love him? He wasn't expecting that at all, but he smiled. He slowly moved her hair out of her face and kissed her lips, making it his first kiss. He did like her a lot, ever since the time she saved him his feeling really growing for her. He wanted to make sure this first kiss was the best between them.
