"Barasu", a feminine voice called out to a certain black haired male. Said male had been working his ass off in the mansion, overworking himself for a reason the pink haired maid could not seem to find. What was he working so hard for?
She wondered if it had to do with Emilia's rejection to his idea of going on a date with her. It had left him shattered in pieces, the maid knows that.
She could see through him, she saw how he put on that mask and played it off as cool, saying they had the time in the world to go on a date a different day, only for Emilia to turn down that idea as well with no hesitation. A direct rejection to any kind of romantic event. He was heartbroken.
He smiled, but Ram knows what Subaru knows, he wasnt and still isnt happy with the answer Emilia has given him. He soon walked off, saying he had finished his chores for the day. The pink haired male felt that something was off with his eyes.
No matter how much the maid wanted to tease him for acting pathetically after being rejected, she couldnt.. not after having seen how he overworks his body, it wasnt fragile, but it wasnt strong either. He had always been happy, so the sight of him being distressed caused her a strange pain in her chest, she didnt know why.
Was he perhaps trying to get noticed by Emilia? She had told him something about liking hardworking teammates and he had immediately gone crazy with chores. Was he trying to get praised by the half-elf? She didnt know, what she did know was that he was hurting.
It was all clear how much he was hurting when she saw him crying in his room. She was cleaning the floors, but when she saw him she had put away her stuff and went to look through the slightly open door to see where the sound of sobs was coming from.
She hoped it wasnt who she thought it was.
She knew it was him, she just didnt want it to be him.
Pain was what she felt, the same strange sensation in her chest.
Subaru was crying and it brought her pain.
He cried alone in his dark room, isolated from everyone else, arms wrapped around his knees, the only light that shone fell on his trembling body. His tears leaking down his cheeks looked like crystals, they were bright and addicting, more and more kept on pouring out.
He looked so small to Ram.
She clutched the cloth of her maid outfit covering her chest tightly, her hand shook lightly.
Pain.
Her heart throbbed in pain.
Sob. Hes sobbing, hes hurt..
Where is Beatrice when you need her? Thought Ram angrily as she placed a foot in the room, she shut the door closed calmly and walked over to the boy who had his back faced towards her, body made small as it trembled.
Ram had gone completely unnoticed by him as she was now in the room. She didnt mind that, but she didnt want to startle him.
She felt the strange feeling again, it was weird and unfmiliar, yet pleasant, she felt the same thing when close to Roswaal. Was she..?
No. Ram shook her head, her heart was for Roswaal only. Nothing would change that. Her heart said otherwise but she ignored it as she approached the crying teenager.
She saw a glance of his eye when he lifted his head up and all she could see was the pureness and innocence in those brown eyes. They werent harsh or shap like how his eyes usually are, they were soft and glossy. There was no determination, only sadness.
No. Ram said it. No. She felt protective, the feeling in her chest had grown stronger. No is no.. and enough is enough!
The pink haired maid decided that now was the time to step in and baby this fool of a man.
In the best way possible!
Ram would be the best babysitter he had ever had!
He'd feel so great at the end that he'd never wish to have anyone else care for him other than Ram!
She had to admit she was lazy, but her stupid Barasu would change that!
Thinking about it made Ram laugh in her head.
It sounded like a great fantasy.
A fantasy she would soon turn real.
Subaru would become the happiest man alive and she'd make sure of it.
With one last proud look Ram threw her head back.
Hah!
