My Sweet Servant // Ayato x Thoma

25: First Time?

(Ignore my Yanfei pic. Also FYI, don't skip chapters cuz you may miss important details/parts, I think a lot of people have already done that 😭)

-Irodori Festival(Commissions doing a parade thing)

-Fluff(Start of smut chapter. You're welcome 😔)

-Also uh.. I wasn't there for the Irodori festival event thing, so it's uh.. it's gonna be very different (Also I'm ignoring the fact that characters from other regions were there)

Down through Inazuma City they went. The Kamisato siblings lead a short parade. The chief retainer walked directly behind them, holding his hands behind his back respectfully as the other servants followed along. There were a couple soldiers from the Yashiro comissions spread out on either side of them, creating a wall as protection, and to keep citizens from coming too close.

This was the Irodori festival. It's an event in Inazuma where everyone celebrates the works done by The Five Kasen. The Kamisato siblings wore smiles and greeted the crowds. Behind them, Thoma kept his eyes on the ground, wearing a more serious expression as he had no smile.

People stared in astonishment as they watched the parade of people walk by. To witness this kind of outcome was just mesmerizing. The ones in the front had the best view of the Kamisato siblings.

Soon, the Tenryou commission followed, Kujou Sara leading them. After they passed, the Kanjou commission appeared. To have all three commissions in one place could be troublesome. People see them coming together as allies, others, rivals. The outside world wasn't quite sure what their relationships were.

So many people are staring.. That'd be so embarrassing if I trip.. Thoma was very anxious in this moment. He wasn't used to so many people staring, and he sure wasn't used to walking in such a ceremonial parade. He just tried to relax, having a nervous and pretty much sweaty expression on his face. Why did I wear my haori? It's getting so hot I can feel the sweat dripping down my legs..

He wore his winter haori because it was cold, but now he has regrets. If he makes a bad move, it won't be good for him. His stomach turned as they walked down the streets.

This type of situation made Ayato feel unsettled. He knew how Thoma felt with being stared at by a whole crowd. He had to admit, being stared at made him uncomfortable, unless if it was somebody he likes. Nobody really likes to be stared at, anywho. Unless if that person is a certain oni..

Once they got to the area where nobody stood, which is past the bridge, because everybody went to one place to watch the parade, Ayato took this chance to reach his hand back. He looked over his shoulder a little, so Thoma could hear his voice more clearly. "If you feel uncomfortable, you may hold my hand, love."

Ayaka found her brother's affection quite sweet. She had a soft smile on her face as the blonde held Ayato's hand. Thoma took a deep breath to try and relax. Holding his lord's hand made him feel better, although it couldn't stop the throbbing stomach ache he felt.

Because of the chief retainer's long haori and the soft wind blowing it out, the other servants couldn't see what they were doing. Which was a good thing, because they don't want too many people to know that they're a couple.

Soon, the three commissions gathered in their respectable groups, the Yashiro commission in between the other two, having walked in a way where the front ended up in the back where they faced the crowd. Because of this new motion, Ayato and Thoma briefly stopped holding hands to focus.

They watched as the shrine maidens approached. The three commissions bowed down, kneeling on one knee, the guards stayed standing up. Thoma wasn't quite sure what was going on, so he just followed what the Kamisato Siblings did. He noticed that the shrine maidens had some distance from them to not intervene on their space. Each maiden turned around and tilted their head down. The crowd watched as the pinkette who walked in the back of the shrine maidens turned around to face the crowd.
