As the days passed, their passion grew stronger, for three days each week, the two would meet up, lips locked, and guards down. They never did anything too intense, in fear of Billy's father hearing. But… To be honest… neither of them wanted to be in a relationship. Jay didn't want to put Billy in danger of his father finding out, and Billy didn't want Jay to lose his job. But they never skipped those nights together… Nights to talk together, nights to kiss, and nights to share many secrets. Their bond grew with each passing day. The two never admitted it but…

They were in love.

Early in the afternoon, Jay was in the gardens helping the caretaker with his flowers. But truthfully, Jay just needed a distraction from a very hot shirtless sweaty brunette who was working out outside. He kept looking at Jay and purposely seducing him.

“Earth to Jay!” The caretaker, a man named Ethan, snapped his fingers in front of Jay’s face.

Jay snapped back into reality, tearing his gaze away from Billy. “What? Huh? Did you just say a pun?”

Ethan chuckled. “Common, I’m not that corny.”

Jay giggled and finished watering a rose bush. “Sorry, I was just thinking.”

“You seem to do that a lot these days.” Ethan handed him a glass of lemonade.

“Yep, I guess I’ve been distracted.” Jay takes a swig of lemonade.

“With young master?’

Jay started choking on his drink, surprised. “Wh-Wh-what???”

“Common, you can hide it from us.” Ethan chuckles. “We all see the glances you share, and sometimes you both leave your rooms with a dazed, moony face. And we’ve all noticed how red you get whenever he brushes past you.”

Jay’s face started to grow redder. “I-I u-Um- does… Mr. Elton know?”

“Nope.” Ethan comforted him. “Mr. Elton knows nothing, don't worry. Just us servants.”

Jay relaxed, looking over at Bily. “He’s perfect… isn't he?”

Ethan laughs warmly. “I’ve never seen him like this. I'm positive you aren't like the other maids. He seems to care for you.”

Jay blushed even more. “...I hope so.”

“Ooooo~ he’s coming over here” Ethan grins.

“What???” Jay whips around and ended up face to face with Billy.

Well… More like face to chest, Jay got a good sight of Billy's muscular, sweaty chest. He could’ve gotten a nosebleed if he wasn't careful.

“Hey,” Billy smiles warmly. “How’s the gardening coming along?”

It was taking Jay a while to make words, so Ethan answered for him. “It's going good, we’re about to start planting some Flame Lilies”

Jay nodded shyly. “They’re my favorite,” he said in a soft whisper.

Billy nodded. “I see.” He pats Jay’s head, making the blonde hiss and bat at it. “Jayb- Jay, can you come with me for a second?”

“Huh?” Jay looks at him, wondering what he was going to call him. “Oh- sure.”

Billy offered Jay his arm, and he looked around worriedly.

“Don't worry,” Billy comforted him. “Dad’s not here. He’s in his office. It's just the workers here.”

Jay nodded, face pink. He took Billy's arm and the taller male led him into the forest.

“So? What’s this about?” The blonde asked after a while.

Billy wasn't able to hide his smile. “I just wanted some time alone with you.”

“We have time alone almost all night.” Jay reminds him.

“..Yessss, that's true,” Billy said after a moment. “But I wanted to see you in the light.”

“We live together. We see each other every day.” Jay was starting to guess what this was about.

“...Fine- I wanted to do this.” Billy takes Jay’s waist and pulls him in close, Jay started to blush as Billy puts his hand on his cheek and kissed him.

Jay, as usual, melted into the kiss, leaning even further into Billy as possible. Billy squeezed his waist, making the blonde gasp out softly. “Billy~” Jay broke the kiss to whimper. “I know you didn’t just bring me here to kiss me~ ah~” Jay broke off as Billy nipped on his ear. “Y~You’re killing me here~”

Billy chuckled deeply. “Alright, alright. I can here to tell you something because if I told you out there you would’ve freaked.”

“I never have ever done that.” Jay huffed.

Billy looks amused. “Sure, my love.”

That made Jay blush. My love… He hid his feelings and huffed. “Just tell me already”

“Well, my dad is going on a business trip.” Billy gave out a real smile, not a programmed smile, or a fake one. A very real, very charming smile that always melts Jay into a puddle. “So… Do you know what that means?”

After a moment of thinking, Jay gasped. “Do you mean-”

“Yep.” Billy grins. “He’s goiJay’sn a business trip, that means we can act like this without hiding.”

“Yes… yes yes YES!” Jay jumped in the air, eyes lighting up. “Heck yeah!”

Billy laughed warmly. “I'm glad you're happy.”

Jay jumped into him, giving him a big hug. “How long is he going to be at that trip?”

“About… Half a month” Billy tips his head.

Half a month… That's about 2 weeks. Jay felt disappointed, then just hummed and nuzzled into Billy's neck. “I'm really happy.”

“Good…” He breathed, holding the smaller blonde close. “I'm really happy too.”

Jay cooed. “Sooo~ Anything else you wanna tell me?” His eyes twinkled.

Billy chuckled, catching on. “Yep~” He dipped Jay down and kissed him.

As the two kissed, they didn't realize someone was watching them.

A pair of dark green eyes…
