" LOVE ME " || AyaThoma / Thomato

- 3 -

(This was set at the same day as the last chapter, but, instead, it's in the afternoon)

At the moment, Ayato was in his office, having a meeting. Meanwhile, Ayaka was outside, responsible for organizing the upcoming events within Inazuma. So far, the only problem the two have encountered is the massive amount of meetings they need to attend, and the work they need to finish. Not to mention - very little time for either of those things.

With both the Kamisato siblings busy, there is no one at home to make sure all the maids, butlers, and guards are doing their jobs correctly. Though, Thoma has been checking all the rooms of the estate ever since the siblings started working. He would check everything, even under the closets where dust usually builds up.

He then heard the door open, revealing an exhausted blue-haired girl. The blonde smiled in happiness, and rushed towards the girl. His smile soon turned into a frown as he realized that the girl was incredibly tired, so tired she could barely walk another step.

The girl started losing her balance as she walked towards the housekeeper, trying her best to smile. Thoma hugged her gently as she rested against his body (platonically, this is an AyatoxThoma story-).

"My lady?! Are you alright?!" The blonde said. He was in a state of panic, seeing the girl in front of him losing strength each second. "She looks like she could collapse at any moment.."

The girl looked up at the boy, smiling softly before nodding her head. Though, he knew well that she wasn't okay.

"My lady.. I'll help you to your room.. please, do take some rest.."

Thoma was brewing some team both for Ayaka and Ayato. He set the cup on a tray, before pouring the tea in, making sure to add just the right amount of sugar. He picked they tray up, making his way to Ayaka's room.

He knocked on the door, opening it slowly. He smiled, seeing the girl sleeping peacefully. He walked slowly, making sure to not disturb the sleeping girl. He set the tray down on a table next to her bed, leaving a note on the tray in case she wakes up.

He walked out of the lady's room, closing the door silently. Thoma then noticed one of the maids walking out of Ayato's office, and out of the estate. He saw paper dropping on the floor, most likely because of the wind. He decided to pick them up, and give them back to Ayato, fearing that they might be important documents.

As he glanced at the paper though, he realized that those were resignation papers from most of the workers in the estate. A piece of his heart broke, knowing that soon enough, if the decline in popularity continues, Ayato and Ayaka would only be working for themselves.. with no one helping them.

Thoma went back to the kitchen, this time, making milk tea for his master, knowing that it was his favorite drink when he was a child. He hasn't had it in quite a while, so Thoma decided to make it for him.

Following everything he remembered, the housekeeper managed to successfully make the drink. He smiled, putting a lid on the plastic cup. He then placed a straw near the drink, and left a note near it.

He grabbed the tray, and made his way to Ayato's office. He knocked gently, making sure that Ayato wasn't in a meeting. He heard a muffled, 'come in', and opened the door gently. Similar to Ayaka, despite working since dawn, he was still neat and tidy.

"Good afternoon, my lord! I made you a drink.. I really do hope you like it!" Thoma smiled, putting the tray down on an empty area of his master's desk.
