My Sweet Servant // Ayato x Thoma

41: Maid in Disguise

(I love reading ya comments 🥹)

-Thoma goes on an.. interesting mission 🤗

-I apologize for not posting in so long, I got bored 😭

"There appears to be a problem regarding the shrine maidens. News that some have quit their job as a maiden, and everyone's been so quit ever since one of the top maidens had passed." Kano Nana spoke about what's been going on with the Narukami Shrine. She was standing before one another, holding her hands together as she spoke to the screen.

Ayato placed his tea on the table, on his knees on the floor behind the screen. "Inform me on why is it that you request of my help." He intertwined his fingers, waiting patiently for an answer.

"I've already asked the Tenryou Commission, and they don't seem to have a job relating to investigating. The head of the Kanjou Clan paid no attention to me when I was trying to explain it to him. And.. the police department doesn't have any evidence to call out a problem." Kano looked at the ground.

Ayato leaned his head against one hand. "I see. If there is any information you have, I would like to know. I will take some time off to assist a person in need."

"What I am suspecting, is that somebody is trying to sabotage the shrine maidens. Lady Yae is upset because a few maidens have disappeared, along with some books. Nobody is talking, so the making of our jobs is being broken up until this issue is solved." Kano sighed. "I.. don't think it's safe for Sayu to sneak in, so I'd like to ask for a more experienced worker."

Ayato chuckled. "Fear not. I will have this problem solved as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, you are dismissed."

There was a relieved exhale from Kano. "Thank you, Lord Kamisato. I will leave now." And then she left after the shuffle of feet on the other side of the screen."

Ayato looked down at the table. It doesn't sound like much, but the situation may be worse than it actually is. He would think for a while, before he heard another shuffle of footsteps. "Hm?"

"My Lord, do you have the time?" Said a soft voice.

A little smile appeared on Ayato's face. He responded after a second. "Come here, my love."

Around the corner, came a blonde. He had a scarf that covered some of his face, which made him appear very adorable. Ayato fell in love with him again, admiring those beamy green eyes and that soft blonde hair.

"What do you need, Waka?" Thoma would ask.

Ayato signaled for him to come sit next to him. He'd watch as Thoma came and knelt down, facing him. The blonde held his hand on his legs, looking as if he was waiting to do assistance.

"It makes me wonder why you've decided to wear this." Ayato's hand played with the scarf on Thoma.

"I thought that you might like it. ..Do you?" Thoma felt kind of worried that Ayato may not have a liking to it.

"Of course. You look quite adorable in it." Ayato's hand slid up to Thoma's face.

Thoma grabbed his lord's hand with both of his, and nuzzled his face against it. He softly smiled while he did.

...

Ayato's face got so hot, he almost got a nose bleed. He looked away, and held his hand over his mouth. How is it possible to be in a relationship with someone so cute!? He couldn't handle the amount of cuteness this servant has.

"Thoma.. So, there is something I need your help with." Ayato pulled his hand out of Thoma's grasp, which is something he might regret doing later on.

"Yes?" Thoma reset to his original position.
