His cheeks turned red again as his master brushed his hair out of him face. It just such a gentle touch. Reminded him on his father. At least it did for him. It wasn't so long ago that his father passed away. So he was still going through the grief stage. When he got the okay to ask. He was quiet at first, looking down at the ground. With a sad expression on his face. "It's about my father. While at home...he hardly talked about work. He never told me anything was because he wanted to keep the two different lives apart and focus all his time he had with me on me. So...what was my father like while working here?" he asked. Looking up at Akihiko in the eyes. Really wanting to know.

Akihiko gulped he didn't thought Takahiro would ask about his father. It was still a pretty dangerous subject not even his maid were aloud to ask about him. He looked sad to the ground. "H-he was a very good person. We...we weren't just master and servant we were friends he was all I really had, but I... if I knew he had a son I wouldn't have occupied him so much. You remind me a lot of him. So kind and... I-I'm sorry could we pl-please talk later about y-your father." Akihiko was again on the verge to cry he wasn't sure if he could suppress it much longer. He even refused to look at Takahiro for a little while.

He sae the sadness in his eyes and knew that he was missing him to. He went up to him and placed a gentle, caring hand on his shoulder. "It's okay. All I Really wanted to know is if he was kind to everyone here as he was kind to me at home." he said in a caring voice. Then he stepped on his tip toes. So he can reach his hair. Gently running his fingers through his hair. "Thank you so much for telling me." he said. With the genetic warm smile. Passed down by the late Kouno-san.

As I feel Takahiro caress my hair the tears which gather fall slowly down, but somehow I have to smile. I even looked back up to him. I take off my glasses for a moment to wipe my tears away. Thank you, Takahiro-kun! I think I just needed that." My smile gets wider as before and I look like a kid again. "Is there maybe something you especially would like to see next?"

When he saw the smile on his face. His own smile grew bigger. For he was glad that all that his father taught him was working on his new master. "You are most we-welcome sir. A-as your personal maid. I-I should help you in-in you time in need." he tells in in a gentle quiet voice. Then he brushed some of his hair behind his ear as he asked him if there was anywhere else he wanted to see. He took a moment to think. But it didn't take long as to what he wanted to see. "May I um, see the garden?" he asked. For his father was in charge of taking care of that. It was his second duty, next to taking care of Akihiko of course. For people say he had a green thumb.

"That is a very splendid choice." Akihiko said to him and lead him out of his room and after they passed many halls they finally arrived at the door to the garden. "I'm sorry the garden doesn't look as good as when Kouno-san was still caring for it but it's still my favourite place in the whole mansion." told Akihiko him and stepped outside. Taking in the beautiful view he took a deep breath and smiled. "Do you like it?" He then asked Takahiro-kun.

He quietly follows him out of the room and to the garden. Paying attention to each hallway they were walking through, so he would get lost. Now and again he would look at the back of Akihiko's head. Just thinking that he really like his father and how kind he was to him. Making his heart flutter a little. Thinking that it was just nerves. Once he opened the door to the garden. He pokes his head out before sticking his whole body out.

He looked at everything. You can tell that the flowers and plans were dying from the lack of care. He remember that every time his father would visit him. He would bring a flower from the garden top him. As a way to remind him that he was always there for him. Even if he was far away. Seeing the state it was in. He knew that he had to take care of it. He wasn't going let it die. When asked if he liked it. He looks at his master and nodded his head. "It-it a little rough around the edges, but I will ma-make this place just the way my father would." he promised him. With a smile on his face.

Akihiko looked stunned but shortly after began laughing. "Your father said almost the same when he saw the garden. I'm glad that you want to take care of it and I'm sure will do a great job." He said and ruffled Takahiro's hair a little bit. Before staring at the garden again he pushed up his glasses. "Alright now only I'll have to show you the kitchen and the bath then we're finished and you can do what you would like to do for the rest of the day." He said going back in.

He heard him laugh and wondered what was so funny? Did he think that he couldn't do it on his own? But then he heard him say that his father said that to when he first saw the garden. That made him laugh quietly and smiled happily. Like father like son, right? Then he blushes as his hair was ruffled. Getting a little messed up again. Which was easily done. But he short of like that. When told that he just needed to be shown two more room and was free after that. He nodded his head. "Ye-yes, sir." he said and bows to him again. Following him in after. Wondering what he should do with the free time. Other then settling in his new room. He was thinking of going into down and buy a bike. Just in case his master needed him to run a few errands.

First he showed him the kitchen. "When you get hungry just eat what you would like." He said and then showed to a door. "Behind this door is the eating room for the servants. I guess the others will help you take your part." Akihiko then go to the bath room and there to explains everything to Takahiro. "Towels are in cupboard, feel free to use everything you like." As he finished his instructions he go back to the room they started. "So now you have your promised free time. And when you like to talk feel free to come see me." Akihiko said and politely smiled at him before retreating.
