One tear slid down his cheek, then another tear down the other cheek. A small, tiny smile starting to form on his lips. "Its not silly" he said. Note, this was the first she had ever seen him cry.
Grace hugged him. "Don't cry." She said to him. Thiswas indeed the first time she had seen him cry, so she felt she should comfort him.
At least the boy was crying tears of happiness, rather than that of mere sadness. He felt her arms wrap around him, hugging him. After a second, maybe a few seconds, he hugged the mistress back. Trying to do as he was told, trying to stop the tears.
"So what do we do now?" Grace asked as she hugged him.
"Well, anything you want to do?" Aiko asked looking up at her, not releasing her from the hug, yet.
Grace yawned again. "I think its time for bed, don't you agree?"
Aiko shrugged. To her, maybe. To him, nope, not really. Though either him, or Emily had to go when the mistress went, and he knew that.
"Lets go. Emily's probably waiting for us." Grace happily grabbed his hand and began to walk to her bedroom. Emily stood waiting in front of the bedroom for them in her normal purple night gown. It was what she normally wore to bed and she saw no reason to change it because her location was changing.
Aiko had released the mistress from the long hug, "okay" he said and got up once she grabbed his hand. He followed right behind the mistress, following her to her bedroom. He looked at Emily once they got to the bedroom door, he was the only one without stuff to sleep in that was different than what he wore in the day.
Grace lead him up the stairs and the three entered the bedroom. There was a sleeping bag on each side of the bed. "Aiko, you get the one on the left." Emily told him.
Aiko followed Emily into the bedroom, he looked towards his sleping bag" okay" he said.
Emily closed the door and got into her sleeping bag afterwords. Grace got into bed and instantly fell asleep. "Aiko. You still awake?" Emily called to him from the other side of the room as she stared up at the cieling.
Aiko went to his sleeping bag, and got into it.Moments later, he still lie awake, laying on his side."Yeah, i'm still awake.." he said, loud enough for Emily to hear, but not loud enough to wake up the mistress.
"How did it go? Did she say yes?" Emily asked. She hadn't heard over the others yelling.
"Yes, she said yes" Aiko answered Emilys question, looking down at the floor beside him.
"Cool. All we have to do is get you some nice clothes to wear. Andi mean really nice. Unfortunately we can't have you look like a butler while you're there. Its against social customs for a mistress to be in an affair with a member of the staff. Then again its not like you like each other like that so I guess its not much of a problem." Emily informed him, perhaps a bit too late.
"I know.." he said, though he honestly hadent known all of what she just explained.So Its against social customs for a mistress to be in an affair with a member of the staff? uh oh...a little late for that
"Not to mention graces grandmother. She's the head of her head of graces family, and she's really scary. She also wants grace to marry a young man she keeps trying to introduce her to at the crescent moon ball. If I had remembered in time I would've taken it back. And we can't just say you're not going now. But I'm sure you'll be fine." Emily reassured him at the end so that he didn't panic. She had only met the family head once and she was very strict about certain things. And her word was usually law.
When Emily mentioned Graces grandmother, and how she's really scary, he sunk himself into his sleeping back alittle.His heart dropped alittle when Emily mentioned that Graces grandmother has been trying to get her to marry a young man she keeps trying to introduce her to at the crescent moon ball. "Hope so..." he said quietly after her reassuring statement. Aiko sighed silently to himself...what would people say if they found out..the mistress, and the butler liked each other..
"Anyway, I guess I'm telling you to be careful around her. Oh, and don't hold the mistresses hand around her." Emily warned him.
