Akira loved that moment as well. It felt so really nice to have that silence and warm enveloping his body... his mind.. his soul almost. He would like to stay here and now forever. Not being scared, doubtful... It would be so really nice to be able to stay like that. But then he thought it would be nice to spent a quiet day in a place that there was sun and flowers. That would be even nicer.. if they could stay alone, not bothered by anything.

Josh wasn't sure how long they had sat there together, although the moment his legs began to fall asleep due to the inactivity, he was brought back to reality. Taking a deep breath, Josh tightened his arms around Akira momentarily before dragging his fingers down his back, whispering to him softly.
"Would you like to stay in here and look around a little longer? I need to take a step out and grab some paperwork." Josh said with a low voice, speaking alongside Akira's ear. |
"I don't want to do anything you don't want to do", he said softly, way more forward than normally. "And is it fine to spent time so leisurely like that? Shouldn't I attend your needs as your servant..?"
It seemed that Akira still didn't understand his new role. It was probably a smart thing to do to explain in a bit more. |
Josh furrowed his brow and looked back at Akira, slightly surprised by his words. Even after he had told him how much he meant to him, and the way he saw him now-compared to when they had first met-the mindset of Akira hadn't changed much. In order to get his boyfriend to understand, Josh thought it was best to redirect his thoughts and clear them up.
"Akira.." Josh softly brushed his fingers along his lovers neck and jaw, looking at him while he spoke. "You are free to do whatever you wish to do. You are nobody's servant, not even mine. From now on you are able to make your own choices, and do whatever you wish. I have no power over you." Trailing his hands against Akira's sides, Josh took a deep breath and kept his hold on his boyfriend. "If I need any help with anything, I would ask for assistance, but you are no servant." |
Akira frowned a bit as he heard hwat was said.
"No servant? So.... who am I right now? Everyone have some funcions.. like Sangre is a cook, Harumi gardener... and you are master. So... who am I now if I'm not a servant?", he asked slowly, looking at Josh a bit perplexed. |
Looking out the nearby window in thought, Josh took a deep breath, his fingers running over his boyfriends neck, against his tattoo while his mind swarmed with words. After a few seconds pass, Josh's eyes return to Akira's, softly brushing his hair from his face while speaking in a low voice.
"I do not believe you have be put under one category in order to be important Akira. You help with a variety of things, and even though you aren't specified to one job, doesn't mean you don't have one." Josh smiled softly and brushed his lips against his lovers forehead. "You help Sangre and Harumi, you help me, more than you even realize." Josh takes a breath before moving back in order to look at Akira once more. "If you wish to have a job though, there is something that might be open. If you're interested." Josh says with a soft smirk. |
Akira blinked few times, quite surprised with what he heard.
"I... would like to try and work... like everyone else... though don't one need some documents to work...? And I don't even have a surname... Wouldn't that be a problem? And... no education?", he said softly, his green eyes on Josh, waiting for his answer. |
Josh couldn't help but to smile vaguely as he heard his boyfriend speak, knowing his thoughts were in fact truthful, although slightly misinformed. "It most cases, yes. You would need experience, education, but not if the person who hires you doesn't ask for that." Josh says as his brow raises just slightly, leaning in a little closer to Akira and whispering softly to him while looking into his eyes.
"If you wish to work outside of the castle, then you'd need to try harder to attain a job. Although if you'd prefer, I think it would be nice if you worked here." Josh implored with a soft smirk. "Either that be the library, where you can help order and stack the books accordingly. Or you can work alongside Sangre, maybe even Harumi needs help. Hell Akira, if you wanted you could switch part-time between all three depending on the days of the week. You have a say as to what you want to do." He explained, knowing it was a lot to take it at once, and maybe overwhelming for the young man, but Josh wanted to somehow help giving Akira his independence back, even just a little bit. |
Akira was silent for a little bit, thinking. What Josh said was quite fascinating for the young male. Then his thoughts went to the scary librarian and made him tense up a bit.
"B-but... would mister Carver would be alright with my help..? And there isn't probably much I could help with... I wouldn't want to be a bother", he said softly although he really liked the idea of himself being in the library. After all there were so many books and Akira just loved books as much as flowers. |
Josh took a moment, pausing as he thought of that question seriously. Carver wasn't the nicest guy, nor was he one who enjoyed sharing his space with others, although if he spoke to him and made sure the man behaved himself, most likely it would be alright, not to mention Akira was easy to take a liking too once people got to know him.
Holding Akira closely, Josh took a breath and answered him honestly. "I'll go with you to the library, and I'll talk to him. He isn't as tough as he seems to be, and honestly he needs the help. He just won't admit it." Josh said while trying his best not to roll his eyes at his friend. "The amount of books can't be organized and placed just by one person. He would appreciate an extra hand trust me. I know him very well." Josh said with a hint of a smile, running his finger against Akira's shoulder and gently tracing towards the tattoo on his neck. "You have to trust me." Josh then whispered as eyes locked with Akira's beautiful green gaze. |
