Eiji x Oishi

Chapter 2

The Two Pears

That night, sleepless Eiji look out at the village on a tree branch. His thoughts only filled with memories that made him smile. The handkerchief, the feelings of the gentle hands that touched him were still alive inside Eiji. He repeated the same scene through the night. Not even the cold breeze of the night could blow away his unforgettable memories that he didn't even notice how cold he was.

As soon as dawn reached, he thought of visiting the mansion. He packed his dirt covered bag with the very little he had and on he went, to the dirt path to the royal palace. It was covered with flowers and the scent of white lilies. He went to the back entrance of the palace. It was the entrance for the workers of the palace. The servants, the maids, and the assistants of the Oishi family crowded there for work first thing at dawn while the members of the Oishi family rolled around in bed to be woken up with breakfast on the table. Eiji snuck in and he was blinded by love. For the sake of meeting that person, he dressed up as one of the maids (it wasn't hard). With a blush and rag dress darker than any brown you've ever seen, Eiji was the most fitted candidate for a maid, and he looked rather cute.

He had his head down. It avoided the inspection of others and no one noticed him sneaking in. Eiji was lost in the mansion not long before going in. He turned corner after corner until he went back to his original destination – somewhere in the mansion.

Someone called for him. It was a familiar voice. He turned around and there was that same glowing aura. It was him.

"You are…oh right that person from the ball yesterday…" He said.

Eiji was surprised. He remembered him but he knew their worlds were so different that their acquaintance values were not the same. He just stared at him and waved.

The man walked over to Eiji. "I didn't know you were a maid here… I even thought you were a guy…" He laughed. "I can be quite silly."

"Who…what's your name?" Eiji asked eagerly. "I mean…I'm not a maid here but I'd like to be…I kind of sneaked in…a guy...don't tell anyone…I don't want to be kicked out…" He was stuttering with his words.

The man just smiled gently and patted Eiji on the head. "I'm the prince here Oishi Shuichiro but you can call me Oishi…and also relax, I wont kick you out you can stay here."

"Can I?"

"You're welcome anytime."

"Yayyy…weeeeee." yelled Eiji happily. He hugged Oishi and jumped up and down. He then danced around making silly faces.

Oishi couldn't help but laugh and he felt the warm feeling that he never felt before because he was a prince. He attended balls, meetings, and other things like that with no particular interests. Even though he had everything he ever wanted, he never had any friends or the warmth of a family. His mother had past away and his father only cared of work. The best and only comfort his father can ever give him is money.

"I'll get going…I'm quite busy today…I'll see you around so be careful and do your best!" He showed Eiji a thumb up. "Even though it might not be easy…" And he disappeared out of Eiji's sight at the corner.

Eiji did his duties as a maid. Went around and attended to the every need of the rich people. He cleaned, obeyed, and was fed with a roof over his head. He rose early in the morning and slept exhausted. He brought breakfast for Oishi one day. While opening the wide curtains engraved with white lilies, the sun was too bright and woke Oishi up. Eiji went around the room with Ahs and Oos. He pranced and hopped and dusted Oishi's face without knowing. Oishi sneezed.

Eiji couldn't help but to laugh and between chuckles he said, "Ahahaha I'm sorry."

Oishi raised his eyebrows. "This can't be how you greet important people in the morning, right?" He smiled.

Oishi got out of bed. "Ah, I'll get the breakfast for you! Lalalala." Went Eiji towards the breakfast on the table near the bed. He ran for the breakfast and slipped his hands on the dishes. The dishes fell. "I'm sorry!" He panicked and slipped on the food. Oishi went to catch him and they twirled around and around until Eiji fell on top of Oishi. His lips were a few millimeters away from Oishi's. They stayed like that for a while, looking into each others eyes. Someone came to knock on the door and Eiji got up. "Ah, sorry sorry." He bowed.

"It's alright." Oishi smiled. "What was I thinking…I actually wanted to kiss him and it was hard to resist…" he thought.

There was another knock on the door. "Oh, come on in." Oishi said.

There, in the doorway, stood a very refined lady. She looked awfully familiar. That woman was the same woman who gave Eiji the dishes.

"It's her," Eiji whispered to himself with wide eyes.

The woman eyed herself at Eiji. "And…this is?"

"Oh, this is um…" Oishi looked at Eiji.

"I'm Eiji!"

"Did I ask you?" She said. "I don't care who you are…but an unworthy person such as yourself should disappear out of my sight."

"Right…" Eiji just said lowly. He walked toward. "Um…excuse me please."

"Listen, I'm not moving for you…you're moving for ME…got it?" She glared. "Dear…we're going for a walk today so you should get dressed."

"Alright I'll be down there, so you can leave first."

The lady gave Eiji one last glare and walked down the hall.

"I'm sorry about that…she's not really nice to strangers." Oishi said.

"It's alright…" Eiji tried to smile. "She is…?"

"My fiancé."

"Oh."

"Yeah, her name is La Emilia but she likes to be called Madam or Mistress Emilia by um…"

"People like me, right?"

"Don't say that…" Oishi smiled. "Now, I'm going to get changed…I'll call when I need you."

Eiji closed the door behind him and left. Things were happening too fast for him and he was disappointed.
