" LOVE ME " || AyaThoma / Thomato

- 2 -

(This was right after Ayato's 18th birthday)

─── ⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───

Ayaka and Ayato has just been announced that their father passed away. Unfortunately, the Kamisato Clan is now in a turmoil as no other clans are willing to help them. While most Inazumans are taking this day off to mourn for the loss, Ayaka and Ayato, on the other hand, was suddenly burdened with work.

Most staff members, as well, started to leave. As of now, the Kamisato Clan is in the hands of the oldest son. Both the Young Master and the Young Lady have no time to mourn for the loss, as work can start to pile up quickly. 

After he introduced himself to the Kamisato siblings, he decided to be their housekeeper. Usually, it wasn't hard, but today, seeing the shortage on staff, and seeing how busy the two siblings are, he concluded that he needs to work harder than ever this week.

Thoma woke up early, at around 5:10 AM. Usually, he would prepare himself before making breakfast for the two Kamisato siblings, but, today, it was different. He showered first, before changing his clothes and walking outside.

Though, when it's usually supposed to be quiet in the estate, he was greeted with 2 guards instead. It looked like  the guards were waiting for either the Young Master or the Young Lady to wake up, but they spotted him instead. The guards faced Thoma, before bowing down lightly.

"Excuse me, Sir Thoma. We have recently been informed that Lord Kamisato has passed away. We are currently in a rush as we are understaffed, and we need to immediately set up the Lord's funeral. If it's not too much to ask, are you willing to tell the Young Master and Young Lady the news?" One of the guards spoke. His pose was still, but Thoma could tell that he was on a rush. 

"Of course, sir. And please, do not bow to me, I am in no place of a higher authority." The blonde spoke, bowing down in return. 

The guards thanked the boy, and walked out of the estate.

"Oh boy.. we're in trouble.."

Unlike the usual breakfast Thoma would prepare, today, he only prepared sandwiches for the siblings. He placed it in a paper bag, along with the sibling's favorite drinks. Thoma wrote down a note and left it on the table in case the siblings came down for breakfast when he was still cleaning.

Thoma decided to clean Ayato's office first. He made sure everything was spotless. Most of the maids are still cleaning other areas of the house, and, since multiple maids and housekeepers have left, there's a lot more work that needs to be done.

But, firsts things first, he needed to make sure the Kamisato siblings know about this. He slowly made his way to Ayaka's room first, because she was the easiest to wake up. He knocked on the door, hearing a muffled "I'm awake!" 

He patiently waited in front of her room. Ayaka was always neatly organized, in the morning, she would only take up around 5-10 minutes for her to shower and get ready. 

Ayaka finally stepped outside her room. She was holding a fan in her hands. "I assume breakfast is ready, Thoma?"

"Yes, my lady! But.. could you wake up Aya— y-your brother, please? I need to tell you two something" The blonde nervously smiled.

The girl chuckled, "My lady? That's new.. may I ask why the sudden change?" She asked curiously.
