A/N:- Sorry it took so long for me to write this one. However, please enjoy :)
Takumi watched the little squirrel collect some nuts. A curious little boy at the age of 6 that he was, decided to run towards the squirrel. As he chased the frightened squirrel, he tripped and fell. Like most kids he began to cry.
"Don't cry." He turned to look at a little kid who was a little younger than him. "Don't cry, young Master." The little kid said.
"Who are you?" Takumi asked in between his cries. "My name is Misaki. I'll be with you at all times." The kid smiled at him.
Takumi stopped crying for a moment to look at the twinkling in the kid's eyes. He then looked down. "You're lying." He said. "All the other boys daddy sent for me said the same thing…they'll be with me at all times, but they don't stay." Takumi said in a low tone.
"But I'm –"
"Misaki-kun?" Misaki turned around to look at her mom. "Mammaa!" she ran towards her mother. Her mother smiled at her and kneeled down to hug her baby. Misaki wrapped her arms around her mom and her head rested on her shoulder. "Remember now Misaki, you are a boy. Do not disappoint your mother and father, okay?" Her mom whispered. Misaki Nodded with a blank expression and slowly slid her arms off.
"Takumi-sama. I hope my little boy will be of service to you." Her mother smiled.
"Takumi! Oi! It's time to get up now!" Takumi's eyes creaked open as he stared at the man before him.
His eyes landed on the short raven hair, petit back and perfect form. Takumi sighed. Soon after he turned 16, something inside him changed. He wanted to be closer to his bodyguard than ever. These weird feelings churning inside him were driving him nuts even after 6 months. He was disgusted by himself. Disgusted that he was attracted to a man.
His arm came to cover his eyes as he attempted to fall back asleep. "You cannot sleep!" A voice interrupted him again. That sweet, angelic voice. Takumi jerked up from his own thoughts. Misaki was standing in front of him with a puzzled look. "What's wrong?" She asked him.
"None of your concern, servant." Takumi muttered as he walked out of the room.
Misaki flinched at his words and watched him leave. She had slowly gotten used to it. Since the night of his 16th birthday at least. He would be rude to her, call her things like a servant or a faggot. She'd gotten used to it already. After all, she was a boy. Misaki sighed. Just a few months more. She wouldn't have to keep playing a boy once she turned 17. She would be free to move to a different state, free to choose if she wants to live as a man or a maiden but most of all she would be free to choose her destiny.
Misaki clenched her fists and became all motivated. All she had to do was keep up with the young prince's orders till he takes the throne and then walk out. She began to instruct maids and then walked out to find Takumi. She sighed. That boy had grown up only physically…mentally he still behaved like the 6 year old kid she was introduced to at the garden. She proceeded towards the back of the main castle where the lake was. She found him there sulking on a bench.
"Takumi!" She yelled out.
His head shot up in her direction and for a moment she saw his eyes sparkle as she walked towards him.
"It's Takumi-sama to you." He chuckled lightly. She just looked at him before taking a seat next to him.
"What's troubling you now, Takumi?" She whispered.
"Ne, Ayuzawa." He called out. She turned to him. He placed a hand on her cheeks as he pulled her close, just before his lips touched hers. She realized her position a bit sooner than Takumi would've wanted and flinched back. "Baka Hentai! Stop wasting time and get ready! Princess Erika is coming today, isn't she?!" Misaki started babbling and headed towards the castle.
She closed the door to her room as she leaned on it. Her heart was racing faster than a horse in race, her face red and pupils dilated. She was having trouble breathing. 'What was that pervert thinking?! Doesn't he know that it's bad manners to play around with a girl's feelings?!' She then realized what her mind just thought. She calmed down, looked at her mirror then smiled a sad smile. "I am a Boy, Mother. The best Boy there ever could be." Tears rolled down her cheeks as she wiped them away. She had no time to be a girl, she had to prepare for the princess arriving at lunch time.
"Welcome, Erika-sama. My name is Ayuzawa Misaki, Takumi-sama's personal caretaker." Misaki held a hand out for the princess to hold. "And I am present at your service at all times of your stay- Be it day or night." Misaki flashed the perfect smile. Erika looked at her, then looked away as she ignored her hand. Misaki stood there dumbfounded. "Where is Prince Takumi?" Erika demanded.
