WARNING: A bit of an OOC on Shizu-chan' part. But I can't help it. Behold: my perverted fantasy of having my own handsome and submissive butler!
"What a lovely day" You breathed in the fresh scent of irises which you had asked from the gardeners as you have long grown tired of the strong stench of the red roses that used to be littered around your family's estate.
"I agree, my lady" Your loyal butler and closest companion for as long as you could remember, Shizuo Heiwajima--a curious man from a faraway country your mother referred to as "Japan"--nodded in agreement as he poured Darjeeling tea in the dainty floral teacup before you. He stood straight and pulled off the silver lid of your plate "For this afternoon our chef has prepared you your favorite blueberry scones"
"Thank you" You replied with a smile, picking up a piece and nibbling on it a bit before devouring it all with two more bites.
Shizuo chuckled causing you to pause and look at him with flushed cheeks "Is something wrong?" You asked as calmly as your voice allowed you.
He cleared his throat but a small smirk lingered on his lips "Pardon me. It's just that a lady shouldn't talk so loudly nor should she talk with her mouth full". You huffed and bit half the scone off. Pretending to be hurt you pouted while you chewed "How rude. Aren't I allowed to blow off some steam?"
"By taking it out on a poor pastry?"
"By being myself" You swallowed the rest of the scone "Do you understand how difficult it is to smile and nod at random strangers--some who I certainly wouldn't mind clocking in the jaw once or twice? Ah!" You almost spilled the tea on your dress if not for your butler skillfully balancing your arm and taking the cup in his gloved hand.
Shizuo was stiff quiet for a while but smiled. He knelt down beside you, pulled out the white handkerchief with the letters S and H you've embroidered for him yourself, and gently wiped the few crumbs and jam that stuck at the corners of your lips.
"If a time when you really do need to make someone pay or if anyone does disrespect you, I will handle the clocking myself. What kind of butler would I be when I let my mistress do something so below her?"
"A good one. It'd be a nice experience" She stared at a small blue butterfly which had found rest on the edge of her tea cup "To be a normal girl that is"
Shizuo stared silently before putting the handkerchief back in his breast pocket. He stood up "My apologies, milady. It was rather incompetent of me to misjudge the limit of the weight of which your delicate hands could carry"
"Ah, don't worry about it. People make mistakes" You were taken aback when he had stretched out a hand before you. You looked up to find his gentle smile.
"Then please allow me to make the mistake of letting you live a normal girl's life at least for today?"
