    Summary

    Nezumi has been a servant boy in the royal castle for eight years, his topmost duty being to cater directly to the prince - Shion. While Nezumi does not find his duties particularly difficult, a nearly impossible part of his job includes hiding his feelings for the prince he has loved for as long as he can remember.

    Preview:
    “You’re okay with this?”
    “With?” Nezumi asks, leaning back from the prince, stepping back to put space between them because they are much too close, sometimes Nezumi worries that they are much too close for what he can stand.
    “Me getting married,” Shion says, and Nezumi raises an eyebrow.
    “Aren’t you typically supposed to ask the father of the bride for permission? I was not aware I had a daughter, especially not one in such a high enough place to court Your Majesty.”
    “Nezumi,” Shion says, and Nezumi waits for the rest, but nothing comes.
    He exhales, looks away from Shion, at the mirror where he can see Shion’s reflection looking at him too earnestly, where he can see his own reflection, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, ponytail half out, bangs scattered.
    He sees a prince and a servant.
