My beloathed

Red writes a letter, begrudgingly asks Ito for help in delivering it fast before midday
letter is directed to Blue, Red spent the entire morning trying to write it as an invitation for Blue, he isn't specific about the contents of it but Ito can tell there's some fruity stuff in there by Reds reaction and embarrassment to being asked what it is for

Ito promises he won't mess around with the letter, and Red asks for another favor, too embarrassed to even face it this time, he asks Ito if he could leave both of them alone also, and not tell a soul about this
Ito uses its entire willpower not to tease him or joke about it and promises to leave them in peace, after, Ito prepares to leave, only being stopped for some seconds by Red to thank him for its help

Ito flies as fast as it can towards Blue's castle (he doesn't own the castle, he just works for the higher ups, he lives in the tallest parts on a corner from the castle)
Blue is in his room, he seems to be closing an envelope before Ito reaches his windows and announces the mail is there
Blue gets startled but oddly happy about Ito's sudden apparition

-"Mail time!!"
*"Oh, greetings , your name was Ito, am i correct? You came here just at the perfect timing" Blue says while gently holding the letter, but stops before handing it to Ito
*"May i ask you a few questions? You are uh, Red's friends right? (Ito nods affirmatively) Great, since you're here i wanted to ask you a great favor, i wrote this letter for him.....and i wanted you to deliver it personally for him"
Blue looked less nervous than Red when asking for the favor but it still was clear he was, he was trying really hard to keep his cool and not lose it completely right there
Ito looks at the letter and holds in its laughter to ask what the letter is for
Blue just awkwardly and even more nervously answers it's just to formally challenge him to a fight (same exact excuse Red had used for his)
Ito couldn't help it and he broke into laughter to Blue's dismay
Blue stood there holding the letter while Ito was laughing thinking if he should just ask it to stop or push it out of the window just from the embarrassment it was putting him through
before he could choose what to do Ito realized how embarrassed the poor mage was and apologized before reaching into its bag and handing Blue the letter Red had wrote for him, Ito held the laughter in and just said "He wanted to challenge you to a 'fight' too"
