you write my name on your walls [xander+takumi, butler au]
[Nohr hasn't seen many nice days recently and more than that, the occupants of Krakenburg Castle haven't had the chance to enjoy those rare nice days.
Xander is sure there will be rain later in the day or he'll be called in to speak with Iago of his father's latest war plans, but for now while there is peace and sun he is determined to enjoy it. For Xander, that only means having a moment to drink tea out in the gazebo (if Elise hasn't monopolized it already). As such, he's asked Takumi to prepare some tea for him and to bring with it an extra teacup in hopes that the boy would join him this time.
It's been years, years and years, since Takumi came (was taken. kidnapped.) to Nohr. He'd been just a child then, confused and unsure, and now he was a young adult. A young man whom Xander had tried to bring up as family alongside him despite how clearly Takumi was being reared to be nothing but a servant. And after years and years Xander knows he's failed in that aspect as sometimes Takumi is still as timid and submissive as he was when he first arrived. Sometimes Takumi still seems so afraid to be anything more than a servant, as if he'll be a burden.
It frustrates Xander because he truly cares about the boy.
Xander is hoping for the best though. That if for just this moment, again, while there is peace and sun, that Takumi will allow himself to relax and just be with Xander.
So he sits out in the gazebo in wait. A book open in his lap but not actually reading it.]

... Thank you, milord.
[ It's a little emptier than he intends, but hopefully Xander won't notice. ]
