"Young master?"

Byakuya closes his book and turns in his swivel chair to face his butler.

It had been a day since Yasuhiro visited Byakuya's estate. He left about an hour before Byakuya had dinner. Luckily, nobody had a clue that he was there.

"Yesterday I heard some-" He stops for a moment to clear his throat. "-Noises. From your room."




Well, one other person did.




Byakuya felt himself tense up at Aloysius' words.

"And? Am I not allowed to be loud?"

"No, of course you are, young master. Just..."

Aloysius was probably one of the only people Byakuya could admit to being fond of. He was one of the heir's many butlers, and definitely his favorite.

"May we drop this subject?"

Aloysius opens his mouth like he's about to say something, though he then quickly shuts it and gives Byakuya a sheepish smile.

"Of course. I just wanted to say that you should never do anything like that here again. You're unbelievably fortunate that I was the only one in those halls at the time. If there were to be a next time, you could be at serious risk."

"I am painfully aware of that truth. I promise, that was just a one time thing and it will never occur again."

"Alright. And one more thing, you can always talk to me about him."

Aloysius was the only person Byakuya had ever really trusted. He knew that even if he told him he'd fallen in love with someone and planned to run away with them, that he wouldn't tell a fly. Of course he would advise him it was a terrible idea, and it wasn't one that was even possible anyways, so there was no need to make up scenarios like that.




Though, Byakuya had never come out to the man, and he was rather bewildered on how the butler had managed to figure out that it was a man.




"Him?"

"I can tell."

"Ah," Was all that Byakuya could come up with, before Aloysius head over to the door of the study.

"Pennyworth."

Aloysius stops and turns around to face the blond.

"This Saturday, could you allow me a day off? There's something important I'd like to do."

Aloysius shoots Byakuya a smile.

"That's no issue young master."
