Ayato finally arived at his estate, from a long day of work, traveling and beetle fights with Itto - the last one wasn't necessarily about important matters but it was tiring - he was hoping to jump right into a warm bath and in his bed afterwards, but when he opened the front door and walked down the halls, reality was far from what he hoped.

When Ayato walked into the living room, he saw Ayaka, sobbing miserably and Thoma, sho was trying to comfort her. The moment Thoma heared someone coming in, his eyes flew upon Ayato in fury. Ayato was a little startled, and backed away trying to calm Thoma down.

"Thoma dear, why is Ayaka crying? And why are you angry at me?"

"I could ask you the same thing"

Thoma scoffed a little. Ayato didn't expect all this informality and rudeness towards him, but it was his sister that was crying so he let it slide.

"Ayaka has been crying the whole night, you promised her to make dinner together, but you where with that Oni again instead of coming straight home to spend time with your own godforsaken sister, maybe that helps you clear your mind"

Fuck
Ayato indeed forgot his promise with Ayaka to spend some quality time. And this wasn't the first time he forgot promises he made with Ayaka. With Ayaka being over sensitive when it comes to family and friends was a moth to a flame and so she broke.

"I am going to bring Ayaka to her room so she can calm down, when I come back I want to talk to you. Is the bedroom okay?"

"Why of course Thoma"

"Thank you, my Lord"

"No need Thoma it's my fault I apologize"

Ayato softly caressed Thoma's cheek, and for a minute, Thoma gave in. After realizing he let his guard down, Thoma's expression hardened again.

The two had been more than just 'Housekeeper and Lord' for a few months now, the only ones that knew about it were Ayaka and Yoimiya - while they were spying on them - they figured it out from the start.

Thoma quietly made his way over to his master's bedroom. If he was completely honest, he was scared, scared what his master would do after he talked back to him. Even though Ayato had always been gentle and nice to him, Thoma didn't know what to expect, he was a man who killed many people anyway.

When Thoma reached the door he was hesitant at first, waiting a few seconds before getting the courage to knock, but before his fist even hit the wood Thoma was suddenly pulled inside the room. With his hands pinned above his head, he was completely vulnerable, scared that his earlier thoughts were coming true.

"M-My Lord"

Thoma was whimpering under Ayato's touch and on the edge of tears. Ayato noticed a tear rolling down his face and gently wiped it away.

"Shhh hey it's alright no need to cry"

Ayato looked at him with a soft look that made Thoma melt away under his touch. Maybe Ayato wasn't angry at him. Ayato leaned in, his lips almost brushing over Thoma's ear.

"You said I spent too much time with Itto not? Now don't you want some alone time dear~"

The words rolled off Ayato's tongue so easily that it made Thoma's cheeks flush a bright pink.
