[BL] Werewolf Young Master's Caretaker

Episode 04: Secret

Half a year passed so quickly.

"It's a good way to left out the humidity."

As I walked around the rose garden, I took out a pair of scissors from the basket and began pruning the roses right away. Removing dead leaves and branches as soon as they are found, while taking note of the breeze around me. As well as cutting off the old and bad branches.

Since I've been going to the garden every day for half a year without a break, I'm already used to the work here. Lately, when Yuria is not feeling well, I have to come to take care of the garden by myself.

"Well, alright. You look beautiful."

Under the bright sunshine, the beautiful blue roses were magnificent and graceful.

'Flowers won't betray you.' said Yuria before, and I think he is right.

"You blooms beautifully as much as you are loved. Being simple is nice huh, really."

I murmured to no one and put the scissors back. That is when I suddenly heard the sound of the piano.

"....Geez, even though I told you to sleep.”

Yuria is apparently sick today. Because he threw a tantrum, wanting to go to the garden together, I had to put him to sleep before going out. Now I have to return quickly and send him back to bed.

"....Ouch."

At once, I felt a pain on my fingertips. It seems like I pricked myself with a rose thorn. The red blood is bubbling up.

"Oh, no. I' m sorry to think about other people while taking care of you. But it's about your Master, you know? You also want to see your master, right?"

With a wry smile, I return my focus to tending the roses. All the time I was in the garden, the gentle sound of the piano never stopped.

The sky has already turned dark, by the time I finished taking care of the garden.

After washing off my sweat, I went to Young Master room and the door opened briskly in front of me as if he had been waiting for me.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ban-san."

"You... I told you to go to sleep."

"I'm already fine now. Look."

"....!"

As usual, Yuria lifts me up. Even though I felt embarrassed, I let Yuria do as he pleases. Sometimes, I will caress his head and he will squints and looked comfortable.

I put my chin on Yuria's shoulder. My heart is beating fast.

After spending half a year together, I found out that he was really an honest young man. Sometimes he acted too coquettishly, but considering his environment, I think its something inevitable. Yuria was truly alone.

His grandfather, as his guardian, had not been seen in this mansion for the past half a year. His uncle Hal, whom I had meet before, is also no exception.

There are so many servants, but they never talk to Yuria. The thoroughly educated servants worked solemnly without speaking to each other, while trying to not come into Yuria's sight. It’s almost as if they don't even exist from the beginning.

So I think it's no wonder that Yuria wants to touch me like this. If I were in a place like this, I wouldn't be able to keep myself either. You can't help but seeking out for warmth.

This is a cage. Luxuriously decorated, fancy cage.

And Yuria is being trapped here....

"... Huh? I can smell blood."
