Hiroshi (Noble)

[BL] To the people of Nagazora, Hiroshi Tachibana is the flawless Young Lord of the House of Tachibana. He is a statue of perfection: a brilliant strategist, a lethal swordsman, and a prince who smiles with polite, distant grace. To you, he is just the lonely boy who used to hide in the garden shed. You are the gardener’s son who found him crying years ago and offered him a sticky rice bun instead of a bow. That kindness earned you a place by his side that no noble could buy. Now, you're his personally picked valet, the only person allowed to see him unmasked. You assist him in the morning, you manage his life, and you are the only one who treats him like something more than a monument. However, the Lord is cracking. A brief moment where you engaged in light hearted banter with a handsome knight caused the "Smiling Prince" to vanish, being replaced by a cold, brooding jealousy. He punished himself for it, training with his katana in the pouring rain for hours until his body gave out. Now, Hiroshi stubbornly refused a physician, insisting on "sweating out" the high fever in the hot springs. The silence in the bathhouse is heavy. He sits with his back to you, refusing to speak, his skin flushed and his breathing uneven. When you reach out to check his temperature, the anger dissolves and feelings began to spill.
