Only for the last wave Akira waved back, still completely confused. It didn't help when master laughed. When he heard Snagre joked he then understood and nodded his head. After few more moments Akira got used to have masters arm wrapped around him though it still was a bit embarrassing. No one ever did that to him. He looked at master when he whispered that and saw he was about to go sleep. But it was okay. Whatever master wished. He started eating, enjoying his food this time. As Josh was sleeping, or so Akira thought, and no one was around he was eating much slower than normally and looked out the window with a bit thoughtful expression on his face. He was thinking about everything that happened to him so far since master found him. It seemed for the first time in his life he was lucky being found in that alley. He would be dead by now.. and now he could even read everything, have his own flower.. not mentioning the room with bed, bathroom and window. Akiras eyes teared up a bit and he rubbed them for he understood for the first time that his life would get even better than now. Master promised he wouldn't kick him out and he trusted him.

With the acknowledgment that Akira was eating, Josh found it easy to relax and try to sleep. Little did the man know that in the morning he’d be leaving for a long trip, but in the meantime it was soothing to be beside someone in bed.
Josh had yet to sleep though. A few thoughts ran through his mind, mostly corresponding with the earlier events although some were of the man right beside him. As he turned to lay on his stomach, Josh opened his eyes vaguely and noticed something. For a moment, he had to focus a bit harder on Akira before seeing that his eyes were watery. In that moment, Josh felt overly protective, he couldn’t imagine falling asleep right now when something might have been bothering Akira. As he gently tightened his grip around his servant, Josh spoke in a slightly rough and husky voice due to his fatigue. “Akira. What’s wrong?” he whispered. |
Akira jumped, hearing masters voice. Then he wiped his eyes once again and shook his head. 'Nothing is wrong, Master. I was just thinking. I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep.' With that he started to eat once again, calming himself a bit as he was at it. He just needed to make sure master was happy with him and maybe he would be able to live his life like everyone else.

Second guessing what Akira wrote, Josh just nodded slowly despite his mind trying to understand what was wrong. “You didn’t. I haven’t slept yet.” After a few short moments, he looked at the other man as he ate before yawning and stretching, turning over on his back and mumbling while his maroon coloured eyes closed once again.
“Goodnight then Akira. I’ll see you tomorrow…” Josh drifted off with his words. The amount of sleep he had the prior night and the busy day made it easy for him to fall into a deep sleep within a few minutes. |
Akira nodded in acknowledgment. He would write goodnight but masters eyes were closed so there was so sense in doing that. Looking once again through the window he finished eating. Then he looked at master. When he was sleeping he was even more handsome. And his face was so relaxed, not scary at all. It was a bit fascinating to watch other man as it was just another thing he never did before. His thoughts drifted again to the life perspective that were opening before him. There was now so much more things he could do and try. It was a bit scary but at the same time.. exciting. Another new feeling..
When he finished eating he read for some time. Though after some time he felt sleepy once again so he laid down next and covered them both with sheets. Soon enough he was sleeping deeply. |
The morning couldn’t have come any quicker. Josh was fast asleep, his arm resting along Akira's body as he was so comfortably tucked into the blankets he was sleeping under. The peace didn’t last very long though.
Josh felt as someone gently tapped his shoulder, getting him to wake up within a few seconds. When he looked up, all he saw was a red blur, needing to rub his eyes in order to see straight. “Master, you need to leave immediately.” Sangre whispered as he glanced from one man to the other. Sitting up- very carefully- Josh looked up at him and furrowed his eyebrows. “What do you mean?” he asked with a slight anger to his tone. Before an answer was said, Josh got up out of bed and stretched out his back. Sangre hesitated before whispering once again. “You’re needed at Ms. Elizabeth’s estate for a week. Planning, as well as the more important need to increase contact with her so that next month the wedding will commence without a problem.” Josh scowled and felt himself getting even more pissed off. He had to leave for a whole week? The thought bothered him, especially because Akira had to be left alone. “You aren’t coming with me. Right?” Josh asked, clearly agitated. “No. I’d be staying here in order to feed everyone else.” Sangre answered. Slowly leaving the room, Sangre made his way to his bedroom and sighed. “Take care of Akira for me then. I trust you will do that for me.” When Josh looked into Sangre’s eyes with that angry gaze, he instantly agreed. “Yes Master.” |
Akira was slowly waking up. Though as soon as he opened his eyes he saw master wasn't around. Did he have something to take care of? And why didn't he woke up? Normally he was an easy person to woke up as he sensed all movements around him really quickly. Was it because master slept next to him and he felt safe? Or was it something else. As he sat up on the bed he looked on his foot and saw there was no swelling today. He touched it and it almost didn't hurt.

Getting dressed quickly, Sangre had his back turned while he let him know about what was to expect. All of it made Josh uneasy, not appreciating something like this on such short notice. While packing up a bag, Josh looked over at the other man and spoke louder than usual.
“When am I expected? Now?” Josh wondered. Sangre stayed stoic while nodding his head. “In about twenty minutes someone is coming to pick you up.” Josh sighed in irritation, finishing up with everything and muttering under his breath. “I’ll be there in a minute.” he spoke while making his way to Akira’s bedroom. Once inside, Josh stopped at the doorway, looking at his servant and clenching his jaw. He had to maintain control, try not to get upset. While walking over, Josh took even breaths, whispering so that he had no chance of raising his voice. “Akira, I’m going to be leaving for a while.” Josh muttered as Sangre grabbed his bag and walked towards the entrance so that he’d be ready to go. |
As he saw master entering his room he knew something was wrong. The face of other male was so.. tensed... When he heard master was leaving there was a fear showing in his eyes but then he nodded, looking on his knees. It was evident he was scared with the vision of staying without Josh in his big mansion. Akira wanted ask where was master going but he knew servant shouldn't ask about that.

Seeing the reaction that Akira gave off made Josh frown. His anger slowly turned into sorrow for the man, knowing it would be difficult being left alone for so many days.
“I’ll be back…in a week. Sangre is here whenever you need him just press the button. I’m coming back, I promise.” Josh touched the top of Akira’s head, closing his eyes for a moment and sighing. Knowing he had to leave soon, he kept his eyes closed and whispered to him. “I’ll give you one last order until I return.” Josh opened his eyes and muttered. “Wait for me. And take care of yourself Akira.” With that, Josh slowly lowered his hand and forced a small smile. “I’ll see you in a couple of days.” |
