It was a rather normal day in the Kamisato Estate despite everything that has happened in Inazuma. After the Vision Hunt Decree and Sakoku Decree were abolished, the nation slowly adapted to the new “lifestyle”. The Yashiro Commission’s retainer was peacefully sweeping on the estate’s grounds, humming with every swing of his arms as the birds chirped along with him.
It was general knowledge to the people of Inazuma Thoma has actually been neglecting his work as the Kamisato Estate’s retainer for the past months since he was taken away by the Tenryou Commission during the Vision Hunt Ceremony. The experience scared Thoma of course, losing one’s Vision meant losing a part of yourself. Thankfully, he was saved by the Traveler… and his now lover.
As embarrassing as it sounded, Thoma’s lover was one of the people who protected and saved him from having his Vision taken. However, since she saved him this also meant that she was being hunted down by the military, yet that did not stop her from providing help for the Traveler while taking care of him.
“I refuse to watch another person I care about take a fall because of some stupid law their leader made!” was what she screamed at his face after they downed 3 bottles of sake in the Komore Teahouse one night. The blond fixer sighed and shook his head to clear his mind from his lover. It has been a week since she went with the Traveler to Tsurumi Island because she wanted to research about a mushroom that only grows there, so it’s safe to say that Thoma missed her.
Thoma looked around the area to double check if he missed any spots or if the bushes needed some trimming. The bushes don't look like it needs trimming but it does look a bit thirsty. Other than that, everything seems to be all good. Thoma thought to himself as he put aside the broomstick and picked up the watering can to fill it with water for the plants and flowers.
While waiting for it to be filled, he heard a familiar high-pitched voice coming from the gates of the estate, “But how do we explain to Thoma what happened? We can’t just say that she ate the mushroom without enough knowledge of what it might be!”
This caught his attention and he turned the water off and swiftly headed to the gates where he saw the blond Traveler and his flying companion standing outside the premises. They seem to be in a heated argument but what really took his attention is his lover slumped against the Traveler. Without greeting them, Thoma rushed to his lover’s side and hastily checked for any injuries.
“Traveler, what happened? Were you attacked by rifthounds at Tsurumi Island? I-I don’t see any injuries on her but I can’t be sure she isn’t suffering from the corrosion,” Thoma immediately interrogated him. Aether quickly raised his hands in defense and in an attempt to calm him down, “A-Actually, what happened was that she uhh took a bite of a Fluorescent Mushroom before we decided to return here.” he explained to Thoma.
The retainer looked at the Traveler, blinked, then looked at Paimon, who looked embarrassed while she laughed nervously, before he moved his gaze back to Y/N. His mind would usually be running wild with what to do in this situation, but this… This actually did not surprise him but that didn’t mean he was prepared for it.
Y/N began to groan and slowly lifted her head, her eyes meeting Thoma’s. She squinted her eyes for a moment before she let out a huge grin, “Oh my Archons, it’s my favorite boy!” she exclaimed before she wrapped her arms around his neck for a hug, almost knocking them both down.
Thoma returned her hug with a chuckle and looked back at Aether, “I hope she wasn’t much trouble during your trip, but thank you for bringing her back safely, Aether. I can take it from here, you and Paimon get some rest now.” he stated heartily. They all exchanged goodbyes before Thoma led Y/N to a guest room, ignoring the bewildered faces of the other staff and the amused look on the Yashiro Commissioner’s face.
When they arrived at the guest room, Thoma made Y/N sit on the chair and asked her to stay put while he arranges her futon so she can rest. He worked in silence for a minute before Y/N decided to speak, “You know, I think I’m seeing things.” she slurred as she leaned against the wall. Thoma didn’t look back and just continued his work, “Oh yeah, what made you say that?” he mused with a chuckle.
His lover groaned as if she was annoyed by something, “I’m saying that because I see two of you right now.” she practically whined at him. Thoma didn’t answer her immediately as if trying to figure out what to say while fluffing a pillow for her.
“What did I tell you about eating mushrooms you find in forests?” he chastised her as he grabbed the duvet he prepared next to him. Instead of getting an answer from her, she growls at someone, “What are you looking at, asshole?”
Quickly turning around to look at her in shock, he finds her glaring at the door frame, clearly angry at someone standing there. “My, my, is that how you treat the owner of the house? I thought your brothers would have taught you better than that.” the other person said cheekily.
Thoma then looked at the door where the voice came from and saw the head of the clan, Kamisato Ayato, leaned against the sliding door. “But then again, did your brothers even take care of you?” he teased. Y/N looked like she was about to bite his head off but she quickly shook her head and looked at Thoma with tears in her eyes. “I don’t like him. He looks like you but he doesn’t act like you. He’s more annoying that freaking Childe,” she whined to him as she stumbled her way to Thoma.
He reached out to her and assisted her to lay on the futon, trying to get her to calm down. “Hey, it’s okay, he isn’t real. There is no one else here that looks like me, okay?” Thoma whispered to her while he brushed stray hair away from her face. Y/N pouted at him with glassy eyes, “But he’s right there! He’s so mean! I don’t like him, but he looks like you,” she complained to Thoma.
“Listen to your lover, dear. Everything is all in your head, I’m not real. I am simply a figment of your imagination, sweetheart.” Ayato teased even more and moved to sit on the chair Y/N previously occupied not before sliding the door closed. Thoma shot an annoyed look at his boss, who just smiled innocently at him. Y/N, on the other hand, looked so close to tears, “Oh my Archons, he’s gaslighting me, isn’t he? He’s definitely worse than that stupid ginger! Thoma, he’s the complete opposite of you,” she whimpered as she grabbed his hand for comfort.
Thoma shot another glare at his boss before he could make another smart answer then looked back at Y/N with a gentle smile, “You know, this wouldn’t have happened if you listened to me just once, sweetheart.” Thoma chided her while rubbing circles on her hand. This made Y/N pout at him and pulled his hand closer to her head so she could lay on it. “Now that’s the scolding I’d rather hear and not from Beta Thoma,” Y/N whispered against his hand before she placed a kiss on his knuckles, resulting in a huge red mess on Thoma’s face.
A chuckle echoed through the room after a moment of silence coming from behind Thoma, “My, my, if I didn’t know any better, I would have assumed I interrupted your honeymoon coming from this angle.”
Y/N groaned again before she sat up, narrowly missing bumping heads with Thoma, and glared at Ayato, “Listen here Beta Thoma, that’s right, I’m calling you that. You look like a rejected version of my favorite boy with light eyebrows and a personality worse than that stupid Fatui Harbinger. If you keep up with that annoying attitude, I just might make this into an actual honeymoon!” Y/N remarked aggressively.
Beta Thoma chuckled in amusement and stood up from his chair, “It seems that there really is more to your astonishing personality, sweetheart. I would wish that you continue consuming whatever you did again, but it might sign me up for a death wish,” Ayato mused as he diverted his gleaming eyes to Thoma, who was uncharacteristically glaring at him. Beta Thoma stood up and haughtily walked towards the door and slid it open but stopped all of a sudden.
Y/N kept her sharp eyes on him and Thoma looked like he just wanted to rest after this ordeal before Ayato looked back at the couple and smirked, “I will allow Thoma here to spend the rest of the day with you, sweetheart, so long as you don’t make too much loud noises.”
And with that, he left the room after he slid the door closed. Thoma let out the breath he was holding and placed his head on Y/N’s shoulder, “I really wouldn’t be surprised if I find myself jobless tomorrow.” he mumbled against her. Y/N grunted and rubbed her thumb on his knuckles, “I don’t know how Beta boy can make you jobless, but if you do, you can work with me.” Y/N whispered to him.
Thoma raised his head to look into her eyes again and sighed, “You.. You need to rest now. I’m sure the trip from Tsurumi Island all the way here was tiring, especially in your state. Next time, promise me you will not eat any more random mushrooms just because it’s in the name of research,” Thoma scolded her once more. Y/N looked at him in disbelief, “W-What, you make it sound like I would eat anything.” she whispered harshly at him.
He shook his head before he gently pushed Y/N’s head back to her pillow, “Go to sleep now, sweetheart, or I won’t be giving you any more kisses.”
And as if those were his magic words, Y/N pressed a chaste kiss on his lips before rolling over to sleep away the side effects the fluorescent mushroom had on her. Thoma stayed next to her for a while before he stood up to leave after making sure she was asleep. When he slid the door close, he heard a chuckle near him which caused Thoma to look at the person. It was Ayato, again.
“It seems that I have assumed inaccurately if you left the room after a couple of minutes. Unless, you did do it quietly and quickly,” he teased the poor blond. Thoma sighed and blushed, “My Lord, please stop it,” Thoma sighed tiredly. Ayato smiled gently at Thoma before he walked up to him, “Is it wrong for me to tease a friend when he’s been nothing but a sad man the entire week his lover has been gone?” the blue haired man joked before he shook his head. “Good to see you’re back in your top shape, Thoma.”
And with that, the head of the clan left the retainer blushing madly outside the room his lover was sleeping in. Thoma shook his head then proceeded to go back to the yard and finish his work with a smile forming on his face, he was happy Y/N returned to him safely.
“Are you sure I didn’t say or do anything weird yesterday?” Y/N asked Thoma for the umpteenth time, she clearly did not believe a word he said. Thoma shook his head with a smile, “Nope, nothing at all, so you don’t need to worry about that.”
Y/N stared into his eyes with furrowed brows, “For some reason, I don’t believe you.” she mumbled, her eyes then diverted to her left. “Normally, I would, but that stupid blueberry over there is starting to make me think I did do something,” she remarked with distaste.
Thoma let out a nervous laugh and looked back at the clan head who was peacefully sipping his favorite drink with a mischievous gleam in his eyes before he walked away to leave them alone. He looked back at his lover and smiled meekly, “S-Sweetheart, you see…”
And Thoma spent the rest of the day listening to his lover rambling about how embarrassing and unprofessional it was of her, he can practically hear Ayato’s laugh as she rambled on.
Oh, this will take a while for her to recover, Thoma mentally mused as he smiled softly at his lover.
