Pleading Slave || An IchiKara Fanfic

Chapter 8

Warning: I read this part and reread it again just in case. And boy did it made me cringe. If you cringed too, please forgive me. This is just how I wanted to write the story.
----------------------------------------------

As usual, Ichimatsu entered Karamatsu's mansion from the vents. But once he was inside the man's room, his eyes almost popped off from his head.

"Welcome, Master."

Karamatsu smiled widely, wearing his maid outfit.

It was painful but somehow...cute?

There was an armchair facing the view outside Karamatsu's big window, a teapot and a cup of coffee on a small round table and music playing in the room.

"Wh-what is this?" Ichimatsu tried to engulfed the sight.

"Please sit down, Master," Karamatsu said. What's even surprising was that his not using his deep stomach-kicking voice.

Ichimatsu slowly sat down on the comfortable armchair.

Immediately, Karamatsu handed him the cup of coffee. Once the man took a sip, he was almost surprised at how good it was.

"Two sugar, just how you like it."

Is this a joke? Ichimatsu thought as he glanced at Karamatsu.

Karamatsu noticed and smiled, "Is the coffee still bitter, Master?"

If Karamatsu was acting, Ichimatsu had to admit that he's good at it.

Few minutes past by and Ichimatsu tried to enjoy the view outside the window. But he was uncomfortably comfortable that he can't keep his guard down yet.

"You know," Karamatsu suddenly said, "You don't have to enter from the vents again. The front door is always open if you want to come in."

"Huh?"

"You can just enter from the front door. You don't have to go from the vents again."

"Are you telling me to do something?"

"No, I just want to reassure you."

The room fell silent.

So silent that they could probably hear a pin hitting the ground. Ichimatsu took another glance at Karamatsu again.

Such a painful expression he was making. What's up with that smile? But for the first time, Ichimatsu noticed that Karamatsu had such brilliant brown eyes.

Ichimatsu turn away and noticed it was raining outside.

"I'll be leaving," he stood up.

But Karamatsu had the opposite idea.

"Don't you want to spend the night here?"

"Wait, what?"
