The Fall of the Suit

~Chapter 1~

There stands the Grand Mansion, the mansion of secrets and murder. I stand at the foot of the porch dreading to come in. Having heard so many tales of this place, it gives me the chills. The chills are not just from the place, the chills also come from how cold it is outside. I decide it is time to go inside the Grand Mansion.

When I rang the doorbell of the huge mansion, a loud chime sounded and a maid quickly opened the door and hurried away. Stepping in, I swiftly closed the tall door to not let any more cold in.

The inside is so much warmer, candles lightened to give off light and heat, and warm bodies hustling around the first floor of the mansion. The working bees never stopped to look in my direction, never acknowledged the stranger in the room.

Maybe that was good for me, I can be in my own boundaries for a bit before my work has started.

"NEWBIE!!," Someone called out from the right. Looking over there, I recognize the living room I have seen in blueprints. A big leather couch to sit about 15 people, two leather arm chairs on the side, and a long wooden coffee table in the middle.

Sitting on one of the arm chairs, was a maid, a male maid dressed up.. in a dress. He was tall, and a ginger. His legs are crossed and his gray piercing eyes are staring into mine.

"Yes?" I say swiftly and boldly, like a real boss would. "Are you the new boss? Your name's Timur right?" Asked the red head while getting up from the chair. As he stood up I saw how tall he really was. I knew that he was tall but now as I look at him, he is about 6 feet tall. "Yes, I am," I say , straightening my back and raising my chin to try to reach his height, but I get up to only 5 '11.

"Okay great, let me show you around!" He says with enthusiasm, and his piercing eyes light up before he turns around and heads for the opened double doors behind the couch.

I followed the tall guy through the mansion, and it took forever to see everything. He told me his name was Trystan and he showed me the dining room, kitchen, bathrooms, dorms for the staff, the owner's bedroom and then my room. He told me that each room will occupy 2 people and it is usually the same genders to avoid conflict. I am supposed to room with a guy named Jayden. I guess I will see who that is later tonight.

While walking through the hall where the dorms are, I ask Trystan, "So.. why is it that you wear a dress instead of a suit?" I noticed that there was only him out of the guys that was wearing a dress, and he doesn't really look transgender. Trystan looks down at me with a smug grin and says, "Well, the old boss liked it so we wear it."

"But he isn't here anymore, aren't you able to switch to a suit?" I am more curious.

"Yeah, we can, but we have gotten so used to them that we just don't care at this point," Trystan says.

"Wait.. 'we' ?" I ask confused, "are there more of you?"

Trystan laughs at the confusion on my face, "Yes 'we', I wouldn't be wearing this..," gesturing to himself, "..if others weren't. There are two other guys that wear a dress, you just haven't seen them because we all usually work at night," he says, turning away from me.

"Well, I hope you're good at staying up for twenty four hours, because tonight you won't be sleeping. You'll be learning how we do things around here once night comes," he says with a cocky grin.

——Time Skip——

I'm sitting in an office, which I'm guessing will be mine for as long as I'm working here, working on some papers, when the clock reaches midnight. I hear a knock on my door and open it to find Trystan looking down at me. Behind him, there was a boy with grey hair peeking over his shoulder.
