The Boy and the beauty

Please stay

It's now the next morning. To be honest I think I had the best sleep of my life last night. Which is surprising because I had completely forgotten about the fact that Brahms had been watching me since I had moved in up until yesterday when I got him to reveal himself. But anyways, I wake up and the man himself is gone. I assume he's somewhere in the house so I don't bother looking for him. I go and change and head downstairs to make breakfast, come to fine Brahms had already made it. More like he was trying to make it but failed, he was sitting by the sink with his head in his knees.
"Brahms? What's wrong sweetie?"
I walk over to him and begin to place my hand on his shoulder. He looks up at me, I realize he had been crying due to the fact that some of the tears had gotten on his mask.
"Dear why are you crying! What happened?"
"I tried to make you pancakes, but I ruined them and made a mess. Im sorry I was not a good boy, I won't do it again."
I look at him shocked he would think such a thing. Then I remember. His parents were ashamed of him I what I think happened, I mean they did tell me and probably everyone that their som has died 20 years ago when really they let him live in the walls where no one could see.
"Oh Brahms, you did nothing wrong. Just because you made a mess doesn't mean you aren't a good boy. You we're trying to do something nice and that's what counts to me okay?"
He nods his head yes.
"Okay good, now how about we both clean this up and try again together."
He looks at me as if I had just told him the nicest thing he's ever heard in his life.
"Yes!"
He yell's excitedly.
"Okay then let's get to it!"
I return with the same excitement.
We clean up the small mess he had made before and clean up the dirtied dishes before drying them and reusing them to make the new pancakes. Once we make the pancakes we sit down to eat and Brahms just stares at his food.
"What's wrong? Have you changed your mind? Do you not want pancakes anymore?"
"N-no it's just....., I don't like eating in front of people. Because of my face. It's ugly."
"Ha, I doubt that, I mean considering how cute you were when you were a child I bet your very handsome. Your beard probably needs a trim though."
He looks at me and looks away again.
"It isn't that. Mother said my face had been ruined after the fire."
"Oh, so you mean it's scared? I don't think that would make you any less handsome Brahms, I would love you no matter what."
He takes a deep breath before bringing his hands to the back of his head. I hear a few clicks and look at him. He's beautiful. I can't help but be speechless.
"Brahms...., you're beautiful..."
He looks up at me shocked and now I realize, I might just love him in more than a friendly way.
"I'm not hideous like Mother said?"
"Oh absolutely not."
I get up from the other side of the table and walk over to him. He watches me as I walk. I stand next to his chair as we look into eachothers eyes without a word. I gently place my hands on the sides of his face. He seems to be a little worried by this. I reassure him by gently rubing my thumb on his sideburns. I bring my face closer to his and give him a kiss on the side of his face that had been affected by the fire.
"I told you I would love you no matter what and I didn't lie."
"Your right you didn't. Please Y/N never leave me. I'll be a good boy, I'll do anything for you. So please stay with me, here in our home forever."
I look at him feeling red swarm to my cheeks when he said 'our home'.
"Of course Brahms, anything for my good boy. I'll stay here in our home with you until the day my soul can no longer stay on this earth."
He looks at me so happy he begins to cry. He wraps his arms around me and begins to cry into my chest I wrap my arms around his neck. I pet his hair and kiss the top of his head while he cries. When he stops he mumbles into my chest,
"I love you Y/N."
I wonder if he could feel my heart explode when he said that. I lay my blushing face into his hair.
"I love you too Brahms."
With that we let go of eachother and I walk to my food and bring it over to the chair next to him. We sit in silence and just enjoy the moment that has just passed. Afterwards we head to the lounge. Brahms picks out music and I pick out a book. I sit on the couch and he comes and joins me. We cuddle as I read to him. Eventually we both falls asleep there on the couch in pure bliss. I think today has been my most exciting day on this job so far.
