My Sweet Servant // Ayato x Thoma

45: A New Face

(Thoma's got a new cool looking scar :D Also imma say that he still wears the scarf but I didn't draw it in the pic, so.. Maybe he wears it to cover the scar on his collarbone 🙂)

-Try not to cry at the end of this one(I almost did)

-Bath scene(You're welcome)

The water was nice and warm. A gentle mist radiated off of it as a lovely couple sat in the bath.

Thoma hugged his knees, leaning against Ayato who had an arm lying on the edge of the tub. The scars on his collarbone, wrist and face were treated with good medications and lotions. One bandage around his wrist, and a square shaped bandaid on his collarbone. Due to the hit being on his collarbone, his arm connected to that was a bit numb. But once it takes some time to heal, it will feel better.

Ayato ran his fingers through Thoma's wet hair. "How are you feeling love?"

"I feel a lot better." Thoma said. It definitely felt nice to get some warmth for his body. Baths like this are very good for your body, everyone says.

"I can imagine how Itto will react when he sees your face." Ayato said. "So noisy, but so caring."

"I can only imagine people staring at me." Thoma looked at the soapy water. "They would think how the friendly house servant of the Yashiro Commission could suddenly appear with a scar."

Ayato kissed the back of his head. "Since I don't want you to scold me, I've sent prestigiously generous gifts to Shinobu. I am very grateful that she was there to save my love."

Thoma rubbed the scar on his wrist, basically washing the wound. But then he stopped when it stung a bit. Not only was it a scar, but there was also the burn mark of a hand when Thoma used heat to stop the bleeding. "..Maybe cauterizing it was a bad idea.."

"It was in the instant, Thoma." Ayato would reach over and held his hand. "You had to do something to help yourself. Ice everyday."

"..." Thoma stared at his hands. They were sore, almost getting pruny.

He seemed sad. His body slouched slightly.

"Are you still thinking about those Shrine Maidens?" Ayato questioned.

"..So many are gone. Everyone thought they were missing when they were already dead.. Only one managed to keep breathing, but she soon passed away." Thoma held his arms. "It's so gruesome. It was like.. they were getting poisoned one by one."

"That girl you fought must have been feeding on them. Try not to think about it too much, love." Ayato said.

"It's hard not to." Thoma hugged his knees.

"Do not worry. A tragedy like that will not happen again." Ayato said. The water splashed as he moved. "Why don't we get out now? I'm starting to get pruny."

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE!!?" Itto screamed so loud everyone covered their ears. He shook Thoma back and forth.

"Ouchies." Thoma winced.

"Sorry, oh sorry, bro." Itto immediately let go and stopped being crazy. "But your face- You got a-"
