Like when the butler opens up about their past, Aruji would immediately pull them into a warm hug to comfort them.

thank youu💗

[Akuneko HC] Affectionate Aruji with Butlers

Hiii Anon! Thank you for this adorable request 🥹 I’m so sorry for the long wait 😭🤲 this is a really long headcanon!

Berrien

Lvl 1

“Ah…A-Arujisama…!? I…I’m very honoured by your kind gestures…h-however, as a butler, it would be inappropriate for me to continue stay like this…my deepest apologies…”

As the lecturer for Manner classes and the main butler in charge, he needed to set an example, despite there wasn’t anyone in the room.

He would be surprised by your warm actions, because it had been a long time since he has received such a warm hug from anyone other than his family.

When you patted his head, he felt like what he had been doing was rewarded by you, and he felt at ease, despite he couldn’t be spoiled by you.

While it was difficult for him to decline your gesture, he couldn’t help but thinking about your warmth.

Lvl 8

“Fufu…Arujisama is truly warmhearted…I’m always saved by your kindness…just a little longer…please allow me to stay like this a little longer…”

As the affection level goes up, Berrien felt more at ease together with you, staying more true to his desires.

When you comforted him with a hug, he couldn’t help but wrap his arms around you, wanting the time to pass by slower.

He is bind by the butler’s rules, which Berrien would have to sadly let go.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama…? Could you please hold my hands…? I wish to be closer to you…fufu…and…if I could, I wish to stay with you the closest…”

Berrien would be at the sweetest and most loving when the affection level is maxed.

He only wish that you could be together with him, and only show your gentle affections to him.

Berrien would be more honest about what he wishes you to do, and he wouldn’t be afraid to say so, because in this moment, he wish to be together with you.

For he wish to be spoiled by you, and he will show the same affections to you back too.

Lono

Lvl 1

“WAH-A-Arujisama…?!!!”

Lono would be super surprised by your touch.

He never expects you to hug or pat him, but his heart feels really warm about it, even though you had just met him.

He shrugged it off as maybe you’re really happy about what he cooked for you, but his heart is beating really fast, and he couldn’t help but replay the scene in his head.

He’s going to over sprinkle too much spice while he’s in a daze-

Lvl 8

“Heh heh, Arujisama…I really did a good job, didn’t I??”

Lono’s feeling proud from your encouraging pats on his head.

And he would do whatever it takes to see your smile, he feels like he’s over the moon and he would rub his nose proudly with a wide grin.

When you hug him, his heart is beating so fast, his face is flushed but he doesn’t seem to want to let go, and he’ll also give you an equally tight hug back!

He couldn’t help but snuggle his head near you like a puppy.

Lvl Max

“Arujisamaaa…”

Lono is craving for your affections, he simply needs them!

Before when he gets cuts during his cooking, he would shrug it off, but now, you bet he’s going to show you his puppy eyes and be like “Arujisamaaaa…”

He’s also a lot more open about his feelings, and you know he would also give a really warm hug while praising you whenever you needed one!

Lono would snuggle in your embrace whenever there’s lightning, while you cover his ears from the sound.

Bastien

Lvl 1

“…!! M-my bad, Arujisama, I was just startled…”

Being military-trained, Bastien would have his guard heightened with every movement near him.

When you reach your hand over to pat him while he’s sleeping, he would hold his sword up to be ready for a fight, but he realized that it was you, and he quickly apologized for doing so.

He would make sure to be less startled next time if you would show affections to him again.

Lvl 8

“…fu…so this is how the animals felt whenever they get your pats…it feels really nice…”

When Bastien trusts you more, he’s seen more around you, and he would always be standing behind you, wanting to protect you.

And when you see him patting the fluffy animals, you couldn’t help but pat him too, and he would lean his head towards your touches.

It feels nice being able to trust you while being patted by you, it makes him feel fluffy and warm on the inside.

When you hug him after a nightmare, he would wrap around you tightly and after he calmed down, he would apologize because he knows he shouldn’t do this as a butler but if you do it the next time, he’s still going to hug you.

Lvl Max

“….?”

Before you even hover your hand, Bastien’s head is already leaned towards you, waiting for your pats.

He would smile softly and anticipate what you wish to do, and he would react accordingly.

He really enjoys your affections and whenever he hugs you back, he would also pat your head gently, as gently as he would with his horses.

Someone who has a big appetite, also would wish to hug for as long as he wishes too.

Haures

Lvl 1

“….!!?? M-my apologies, Arujisama…I…shouldn’t…”

Being someone who’s not used to being shown affections since his childhood, Haures would be surprised by your actions.

The moment you patted his head, his face would turn completely red, and he couldn’t process it.

He thought that since you are his Arujisama, he shouldn’t stop you, but at the same time, he knows that as the leader of the butlers, he shouldn’t continue to stay in this pampering, as he should be the one to pamper you instead.

Lvl 8

“Ah…A-Arujisama….you’re truly are my softest spot…”

After realizing how important you meant to him, someone who is above family, he couldn’t help but give in to your embrace.

He would lean his head on your shoulder, while wrapping around you, and it was the moment where he finally took breaks. He could relax around you, and by the time he realize, you will see an apple red face from Haures again.

While he’s still not quite used to the pampering, he realize that he’s starting to crave more from you, and when you stopped your pats, he would hold onto your sleeve and be like “ah…”

Lvl Max

“Arujisama…Fuu…did you want a hug from me?”

Haures became someone who is used to getting and giving affections, and you’re the only one that he wants to show the softest sides to him.

He could tell that when you move close to him, you might want a comforting hug from him.

His hugs are very comforting, a hug that he usually hugs Tricia gently, comforting her from her cries.

At the same time, Haures would also admit that it was him who wanted to hug Arujisama, and he was more honest about his feelings (and also instead of thinking about everyone as a whole, he thinks more about the two of you together)

Fennesz

Lvl 1

“A-a-a-Arujisama….??????!!!!!”

When you caught Fennesz who was in a self deprecating situation, you wanted to pat his head to comfort him.

Fennesz was surprised to the point his mind paused his thoughts, like a broken record, he tries to call out to you, with his face completely flushed.

He would be thinking about this moment when he sleeps too <- he can’t sleep at all 😭 the scene would keep replaying in his mind as he remembers your warm touch on his head. He would put his hand over the place where you patted him to remember it more, but he would be blushing even more.

Lvl 8

“A-Arujisama….fufu…I couldn’t live without your kindness…”

Whenever you reassure Fennesz through your affections, he would gradually catch himself from his thoughts, and believes in your words that you tell him.

And the more you pamper him, the more he would wish to be pampered by you despite he would blush hard at the realization of how bold he had became. (Perhaps it’s because of his little brother nature where he likes being pampered)

But despite that, he still wish to be by your side.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama…if you are alright, could I….?”

Fennesz would be looking at you with his cute 🥺 eyes, his eyebrows down, and his face flushed.

He would ask for your permission, but in his mind, he’s hopeful that you’ll pat and maybe hug him too.

And whenever you wish to be comforted by him, Fennesz’s hugs would be really gentle and warm, enveloping in his soft bathing soap scent.

Ammon

Lvl 1

“A-Arujisama…? W-what are you doing…♪”

Ammon, who wasn’t shown a lot of kindness in his childhood, flinched at your pat.

He was surprised by your touch, and he was confused by why you were patting him, but he lets you pat him anyways.

He didn’t really know how to react, but he didn’t dislike your gentle pat. When he’s by himself, he would retrace back to this memory and he would put his head between his hands, not wanting anyone to see him like this. A swarm of mixed feelings with rapid heartbeat appeared inside him.

And he thought about how sly you were for making him trust you through your affections.

Lvl 8

“Arujisama…my bad…do you mind if I stay like this…just for a little longer…ah…I didn’t want to show you this lame side of me…..”

You saw Ammon slowly making his way during the night, his hand sliding on the wall as support, and you surprised him with your voice when you called out to him, “WAH”

And Ammon thought how uncool he was being in front of you, but when you hold his hand, he felt more at ease.

When you hugged him tightly, Ammon felt he really belongs to you, and he would wrap his arms around you tightly, showing his weak sides.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama, are you competing against me to make the most heart racing moments~? I’m not gonna lose against ya ♪”

The affections that you showed Ammon would make his heart beat really fast, he couldn’t help but think about you.

And he would want to retaliate against you too, by making your heart race too, he would hold your hands in secret, he would come close to you, and hug you whenever you cry.

You’re his most precious flower after all~

Boschi

Lvl 1

“Hm? My bad, Arujisama, I dodged by instinct.”

Boschi, who is distrusting with people, would dodge by instinct at your pat, because you noticed he was in pain, his painful glare might have frightened you.

And when he realize it was you, he would apologize immediately, because he didn’t mean to scare you.

Afterwards, you’ll see him bring sweets as compensation because he doesn’t want to start off badly.

Lvl 8

“Arujisama…I was scared that I’ll lose you…”

When you fell into the sea waves, Boschi immediately jumped into the water to save you.

He won’t ever fail to save anyone who is dear to him again…and he would put his life and pain on the line just to be able to reach you.

You could feel his strong arms trembling at the thought he might lose you too when he pulled you into a hug, sinking into exhaustion.

And when you wrapped your gentle arms around him, reassuring him that you’re alive, Boschi’s arms loosened slightly, but still firm, not wanting to let you go at all.

Lvl Max

“Heh, Arujisama, this is your special pillow right here, feel free to take a nap.”

Boschi plays by his own rules, and he’s not really afraid of being close with you, even as a butler.

You’ll see him calling your name more often when it’s the two of you, and the more affections you show him, the more he would do for you too, like sharing his napping spots with you, and you can rest on his lap, or he would feed you or even pull you close to him.

After all, he just really enjoys your presence, and wants you to be by his side.

Lucas

Lvl 1

“Whoops, Arujisama…?”

Lucas, who once had children climbed on his luscious hair, was slightly surprised by your gentle pats when he was sitting in his infirmary office chair.

He could tell that you’re worried if he’s pushing himself, as he has been cooped up in his office and he slowly ease in to your touch, as a form of rest.

Lvl 8

“Fufu…Arujisama, I’m curious as to what you wish to do with me ♪”

Whenever you hover your hand, Lucas’s curious eyes would fall on you, observing if you would expand your arms to a hug, or perhaps, you’re trying to reach high to pat his head, or perhaps touching his face, and he would observe you with a smile ♪

And when you decide on what you wish to do, he’ll welcome you in, closing your distance between his while teasing you to see your expressions.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama, I shall completely wrap you with my fragrance ♪”

Lucas would be taking more initiative, coming even closer towards you.

He wish that the affections you showed him are completely for him, and he would tell you through hints, such as putting on his fragrance before hugging you, so that you share the same scent as him, and other butlers would know, as well as painting your nails with his shade of red.

As to him, you are his lighthouse that will always guide him back to you.

Lamli

Lvl 1

“Yaaaaaay~!! Arujisama is praising me for the work I did~I’m so happy!!”

When you first met Lamli at the party, he was already excited about you appreciating his fashion.

And when you give him pats about the work he did, it felt that you could see his dog ears and tail wagging in the air, and he was beaming with joy.

He felt really rewarded by his work, and you could see his enthusiastic he was whenever he cleans your room (but when it comes to other areas he might not so if you were to praise him more, you could see your reflection on the floor)

Lvl 8

“Arujisama really is such a kind person….! I’m so happy that I could be by your side…I love Arujisama the most!”

Lamli usually hides his tears from everyone else, a habit he used to have back when he was in a circus, serving as a Pierrot.

He wish to always bring smiles to everyone, but he knows about the worries he has, afraid that he wouldn’t meet up to everyone’s standard and eventually gets left behind.

But when you hugged him to reassure him that he will always have a home here and he will always be by your side, he couldn’t help but cry with his head buried in your shoulder.

It was like the words that he has been dreaming of hearing, had came true.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama!! Arujisama!! I did this!!! Please pat me!!!!!!”

Lamli would be spoiled by your pampering, he would wish for your pats a lot.

And whenever you pat him, he would have such a relaxing cat face :3 resting on your laps.

After all, Lamli loves you a lot!

Nac

Lvl 1

“My deepest apologies, Arujisama, for I am blessed by your sunshine presence, and I am very thankful for your wondrous kindness for me.”

When you patted Nac on the head, Nac was pleasantly surprised (big surprise to the point his brain was swarming with words to describe the feeling)

He is at a tug-of-war with his rules and feelings, but he continue to let you pat him, as he felt very blessed by your touch.

Instead, he appreciated your thanks to him, yet, he also remained as the perfect gentleman butler he is.

Lvl 8

“Ah…Arujisama, whose warmth is as gentle as the spring sunshine, revived the wilted sprouts inside this Nac’s heart, much like the richest honey, I am completely spoiled by your amazing sweetness-!!”

When you see Nac squeezing a smile as he talked about his scars, he lamented about how he wasn’t beautiful, and he would avoid being in the same bath as the other butlers.

You embraced Nac tightly, holding him and telling him that the scars that he bears are from the people he protects, and they symbolizes beauty and strength.

And inside Nac, it felt that his everything was embraced by you, and he felt speechless for the first time, but don’t worry, he will always find a way to convey his thoughts when it comes to you.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama…would you dislike a man with strong desires…? Fufu…for I cannot live without you, as much as the world desires for the sun….!”

Nac, who is overflowed with affections for you, will always speak words of love towards you.

And he admitted that he desires for your affections, and he would wish to be the one to received them, as he too, is someone who wished that you would be his only sun.

Miyaji

Lvl 1

“A-Arujisama……? A…are you alright?”

When you suddenly hugged Miyaji, he thought that maybe you tripped over something and landed on him.

As the doctor, he wanted to make sure you didn’t sprain your ankle, or get hurt on your face, so he looked at you worriedly, despite he had just recently met you.

And when you said you just wanted to hug him, Miyaji felt even more confused, but perhaps since you wish for a hug, he would pat your head gently like he does with his students, and said, “if there is anything that you are trouble with, I’m here to listen.”

Lvl 8

“Arujisama…hm…I’m completely saved by your warmth…”

When Miyaji was troubled by his memories and guilt, haunting him as forms of nightmares, he was by himself.

Sometimes, he thought about running away, but it was just a thought, and he thought about if he truly is worthy of living, despite his soul wishing to leave, his flesh still remains.

And when you hugged him tightly, Miyaji felt more grounded by your warmth, as he slowly catches his breath again.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama…would you stay with me, just a little bit longer…? It seems that I don’t want to be apart from you just yet…”

Miyaji, who is usually someone considerate of others, would appear to show more of his hidden feelings towards you.

Because he too, wishes to be by your side.

As you are his reason of living, and he couldn’t live without your warmth.

Flure

Lvl 1

“…! A-arujisama, are you treating me like a kid…?!”

Flure would pout at your pats, because he has been patted by Lato a lot.

But since your pats do feel nice and you are also praising him for his work, he couldn’t help but let you pat him, his heart fluttered and his cheeks pink.

The next time you try to pat him, he’s going to whine, but you bet he’s going to let you do it again.

Lvl 8

“A-Arujisama…fufu…I don’t want this to stop…huh…? I-I didn’t say anything….!”

The closer you are with Flure, the more honest he became, and every time you try to pat him, he would let you, and he’s also used to your touch, before you hover your hand, he’s already ready for you.

And when you patted him on the back while hugging him, you could feel his trembles, about how much he wanted to be strong, about his fears of facing death, and his hands clung onto the back of your clothes.

He also knows by doing so, it’s going to wrinkle your clothes, but he couldn’t help but hugged you tightly.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama, won’t you please stay with me…? I want to be by your side…can’t I?”

Flure will hold your hand and look at you with his cute/cool face, because he knows he’s got a grip on you.

He started to be more bold, and confident too, you see him becoming more honest to his feelings, and he knows how much he wish to be by your side, and he wants you to look at him always.

Lato

Lvl 1

“….? What are you doing, Arujisama?”

Lato, who didn’t really trust you at the beginning, felt confused by your pats.

Even though Miyaji would pat him when he’s going a good job, and he would also pat Flure like an older brother, he didn’t know what to think when he’s receiving pats from you.

Perhaps, it’s a sense of trust that you have for him?

Or do you also see him as family?

Lvl 8

“Kufufu…♪ Arujisama feels warm ♪ I could hear your heart beating…and mine too, I wonder why that is?”

As someone with great hearing, Lato could listen to the way your heart is pumping, the gradual rhythm changed to a faster one, the longer you hugged him.

To him, it’s the drum beat that signifies you are alive.

He couldn’t help but lean on your shoulders and hugging you so tight, you couldn’t escape.

And he also felt it was strange how his heartbeat was matching yours too, fast, and it was the first time he ever felt that.

Lvl Max

“Kufufu, Arujisama…I won’t ever let you go ♪”

Lato would call for you anytime he can, he wish to be by your side all the time.

Your affections are simply comforting to him, that he wish to experience everyday, he couldn’t sleep without you patting him.

And he will intertwine your hand with his all the time too, regardless of other butlers.

Because no matter what, he wish to be with you.

Hanamaru

Lvl 1

“Oh, oh? Is Arujisama trying to praise Hanamaru-sama? Please keep it comin’~”

As the jokester of Devil’s Palace, you bet he’s going to amplify the teasing more.

He’s going to lower his head at you, and let you mess his curls with your pats.

And when you pamper him, he might feel a surge of warmness inside his heart, but he’s not going to show his blushing face that soon.

He’ll pat you back equally, with both of your hairs in a mess and Yuuhan will be behind him 👀

Lvl 8

“Ah, Arujisama…heh…please let this Hanamaru-sama stay like this for a while…a long while…..”

You saw Hanamaru by himself in the middle of the night, drinking, but it wasn’t like his usual happy drinking. There was a sense of loneliness.

And he tells you about the children he lost, about how they would have grown to live their life yet their lives were paused at a young age.

When you see him like this, you hugged him, conveying the warmth that he needed, because Hanamaru, despite he was drinking alcohol, felt cold to the fingertips, and when he is surrounded by your warmth, it was like he was alive.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama, Hanamaru-sama is going to cry if you leave him alone all by himself~”

Clingy Hanamaru-sama to the max-

Even though he’s joking about how he would cry, you bet he’s going to cry when you don’t give him attention.

He’s the type who would be asking for more of your hugs, and even hugging you from behind (of course if he’s seen by other butlers, he’s going to get dragged to manner’s class)

Yuuhan

Lvl 1

“….!!! A-Arujisama…i-it wouldn’t be appropriate if I were to receive such affections from my master…! My utmost apologies.”

Yuuhan knew how impolite he was when he first met you under the guise of acting as a friendly person, so when you met him as a butler, he held rules to his heart.

And when you showed him a really close affection, such as a pat on the head, his mind was running fast, and he never thought his master would wish to be this close with a butler.

While he was in a difficult dilemma, he had to apologize to you to explain why he could not continue to be patted.

Lvl 8

“Arujisama…I have never met someone who is as warm as you are…and it would be the highest honour to be able to serve you. I am very grateful to be able to meet you…”

For someone who continued to shower him with affections beyond their relationship as butler and master, Yuuhan felt the closeness was special between you and him.

He began to realize that he wish to see you happy more, and he too, wished to be happy staying by your side, and experiencing what you showed him.

He also knows that he couldn’t be this pampered, else his discipline might fall off, and he wouldn’t be able to go without your pampering.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama, what would you wish me to do for you? For this body, this soul, and this life is yours to have.”

Dedicating his everything, Yuuhan is determine to shower you back with his everything.

For this life is to be together with you, and, if he hugs you, it felt like he was holding his world too.

Teddy

Lvl 1

“Eh, Arujisama-?!!!”

Teddy hasn’t been patted since his military days, when his friends would joke around with each other, cheering whenever they won, drinking coffee by the bonfire.

Of course there is also the time where Hanamaru was half awake and Teddy got patted by Hanamaru.

But your touch felt completely different from theirs, a comforting, yet familiar pat that he couldn’t help but blush and enjoying the sensation.

Lvl 8

“Lucky! If I’m hugged by Arujisama, I could feel like I’m getting stronger!”

You caught Teddy at a moment where he appears to be down, and it’s unusual for Teddy to appear gloom.

And Teddy would wish to do whatever it takes to hide it from everyone, yet, you hugged him without saying a word, with no judgements in your touch, and he couldn’t help but hugged you tightly.

Your warmth emitted to him and he was able to collect himself back to his regular self.

Lvl Max

“Arujisama, please let me hug you so that you’re surrounded by luck!!”

Teddy would be showing lots of affections, wanting to hold your hands, wanting to greet you with hugs, telling the wonderful things he recorded in his notes about you.

He isn’t shy with showing affections, when he feels completely safe with you, and in his mind, the more he hugs you, the more you are gathered with luck that could help you with your day!

And even when you felt like the day is unlucky, his hugs are still comforting to make sure everything is alright.

Beren

Lvl 1

“Arujisama…?”

Beren is startled by your sudden action, he hasn’t been patted on the head since Goetia’s passing.

Usually he gets pampered when he has done a good job at the orphanage, and it felt nostalgic to be patted like this.

He would close his eyes and remember the good memories he has and when you stopped, he would smile at you gently, and giving you the same comforting pat.

Lvl 8

“Fufu…even though I’m usually the one who pampers others…I couldn’t help but want to be pampered by you too, please forgive me, Arujisama ♪”

As the big brother, Beren usually doesn’t convey his thoughts to others, because he has to behave well.

Yet, when it comes to you, he couldn’t help but wanting to be treated sweetly by you, from the warmth of your hugs, to your gentle pats, he simply wish to experience them.

Lvl Max

“Please let Beren-nii spoil you as much as you spoil me ♪”

The more sweet you treated Beren, the stronger Beren’s reciprocations will be, and you need to prepare yourself of the sweetness he will bring to you.

He wish that you could depend on him as much as he depends on you, forming a bond where you couldn’t imagine a future without each other.

He would 100% feed you delicious food.

And he’ll always stay beside you.

Shiro

Lvl 1

“Hm…what are you doing…?”

Shiro would be dodging, as there were many people who wished to touch his elf ears.

He valued his personal space, which he would be keeping some distance when he isn’t familiar with you yet.

But if you offer a handshake, he might stare at your hand and wonder if he should shake it, since you did save his life before, he would shake your hand slightly then let go.

Lvl 8

“…Hm…you’re the only one I’ll ever let you do such things.”

When Shiro trusts you, he would be the one to allow you to touch him, even giving him pats.

When those pats came from you, it felt comforting and sweet and he would let you do it.

He would close his eyes when you hug him, and he would also wrap his arms around your shoulder and pull you closer towards him.

Lvl Max

“Come.”

Shiro would be the one who would ask you to come near him, to stay beside him always.

When you call for him, he would respond to you immediately, “…did you need something?”

But the truth is, he calls for you more often, and he would sit beside you, and allow you to do what you wish: combing his hair, touching his ears, patting him, and more.

okay thank u bye bye ☺️

[Akuneko HC] Aruji who thanks the Butlers with a kiss

Hehe thank you for the cute prompt, Anon and thank you for the long wait! 🥹🫶💖💖💖 I’m so happy to hear you love my writings!! Hope you have an amazing day!!!

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　

Aruji: *pecks on the cheek* hehe, this is a thank you! ( ˶´ ᵕ `˶ ) [let’s just imagine Aruji ask the butlers to come closer to them like them whispering a secret]

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺

I wish there was a villa butler version of them blushing 😭🤲

First Floor

Berrien

“Ah…Arujisama….???”

Berrien got caught completely off guard by Aruji’s kiss, and while he is familiar that between nobles, there is an etiquette of a kiss on the cheek to show appreciation, he never once thought he would receive it from Arujisama!

His cute pink cheeks are as pink as Rose Herbal tea, and he couldn’t quite look at Arujisama in the eyes, because the kiss would replay in his head, and Berrien would have to excuse himself from Aruji’s room, thanking Aruji for the gesture, he cupped the side of his cheek, wanting the kiss to be lingered. He felt kind of woozy from the sensation (too powerful)

Berrien would be researching for more delicious tea to bring to Aruji but the kiss doesn’t leave his mind.

“Does Arujisama…also do it with other people too…?”

Lono

“UWOOH!!!!”

BAM! Lono backs into the wall with his reflex and he felt pain in his back, telling him that everything is real!

His face is bright red, and he holds the side of his cheek while looking at Arujisama, and he stammers, “n-no, it’s not that I dislike it, I do very much, ah, wait what am I sayin-“

You’ll see Lono bringing a lot of delicious food to show Aruji, but he seems to also be glancing at Aruji too, perhaps, he also wants another kiss?

“Ishishi, please enjoy, Arujisama!”

Bastien

“……..hm…? Arujisama…?”

Bastien thought Aruji has something to say to him so he leaned towards them, and the soft sensation was akin to a cat’s kiss.

It took Bastien a while to realize what happened, from the touch to the warmth to Aruji, that his face slowly became red, “ah…” <- he realized the situation.

He would thank Aruji for the kiss on the cheek, and while he was practicing with his sword, the kiss would continue to be in his mind, as he would try to swing his sword to make them go away so the next time he could see Aruji eye-to-eye.

“…….Arujisama’s lips are soft…”

Second Floor

Fennesz

“Eh…………..?”

Fennesz’s mind froze for a minute (blank) and then a tornado started to stir up.

Did Arujisama accidentally moved too close to him? Was that sensation Aruji’s lips? Did he accidentally moved too close that he accidentally touched Aruji’s lips? Aruji’s lips are so soft. Wait I should apologize first, but what did Arujisama mean by “thank you”, was it a reward? What was it for? For me? Really? Not other people? Does Arujisama also do this with other people too? I don’t really want that…but it’s arujisama’s choice…and who I am to stop Arujisama from doing so…ah…I’m really the worst… <- his thoughts would flurry and then snowball back to his self hatred and Aruji would wonder if Fennesz hated the gesture because his emotions went from freeze -> confused -> happy -> sad.

To which, Fennesz would frantically explain that it wasn’t that he hated the kiss, he felt happy by it and he would ramble and gasp and apologize for his behaviour 😭 (super red face)

“More like…was Arujisama alright with it…?”

Haures

“A-Arujisama?????!”

Haures, who’s usually proper and he would usually keep an appropriate distance whenever he’s with Aruji and the nobles, was shocked by the sudden closeness from Aruji.

He initially wanted to listen to what Aruji wanted to tell him but he was met with a soft kiss on his cheek and he quickly swished away, his face is as red as the Valentine heart wallpaper he chooses.

Haures would try to regain his composure by clearing his throat but whenever he looks at Aruji, the sound of the peck would replay in his mind and his face just got brighter and brighter.

Aruji did ask if Haures was feeling alright but he held up his arm and apologized to Aruji.

“Arujisama….I apologize but please allow me to collect myself…….”

Boschi

“Heh, Arujisama, what was that?”

Hearing that it was a “thank you”, Boschi smirked at Aruji’s sweet gesture. Because to him, it was like the chocolates that Aruji gave him during Valentine’s Day.

Whenever Boschi wants to slack off from work, he would remember the kiss from Aruji, and he would carry the wooden ladder with him, and fix it before Haures said anything.

And when he realized that he was motivated by the kiss, he thought about how childish he was, being so happy about it, since Aruji thinks of the kiss as friendly.

After he completed his work, he would come to Aruji and asked about what Aruji thinks about the interior design of the room.

“Hm…aren’t you forgetting a little something, Arujisama?”

Ammon

“Huh? Arujisama…?!!”

Ammon accidentally dropped the rose he holds in his hand to the ground when he felt the soft kiss on his cheek, his eyes widen in surprise and the warmth travelled to his cheeks, making them rose red.

He bent down to grab the rose but he’s trying to pull himself together by breathing slowly and then when he comes back up, he could act like his usual self again, “Arujisama, you’re making my heart beat so fast~is this like a retaliation to me making your heart race~?”

Ammon looked like his usual self but when he’s away from Aruji, he’s seen pulling on the weed that has already been pulled and even having mushroom for dinner wouldn’t faze him, since the kiss keeps replaying in his mind hehe.

“Ahh…mou…Arujisama…you’re dangerous for my heart…”

Third Floor

Lamli

“Yay!!!!! I got Arujisama’s kiss!!!!!”

At first, Lamli was surprised by the kiss, his cheeks are softly pink, but when he realize Aruji kissed his cheek, he joyfully cheered!

He wanted to show it off to every butler, but he knows that as a butler, it’s not appropriate, and he might get scoldings from Nac, so he decided to tell it all to his frog friends 🐸

You’ll see a super hardworking Lamli and the other butlers wondered if the sun had came out from the other side 🤔

“Hum hum hum ♪ Arujisama’s room is sparkling ✨ “

Lucas

“Fufu…♪ Arujisama, shall I also give you my appreciation as well? I have a lot that I want to thank you for ♪”

Lucas actually has a small blush on his cheek?!

He immediately regained his composure and he winks while asking Aruji this question, and if Aruji is flustered, he would then add, “just kidding ♪ I would get scolded by Berrien and Miyaji.”

“But if you change your mind, please let me know ♪ just kidding ♪ Your expression is adorable, Arujisama.”

Nac

“WHAT- an amazing way to show your beautiful heart, Arujisama, for your kindness nourished the desert like the gentle rain, your gentle kiss brings even the withered flowers to life, I, Nac, is a fortunate man to be blessed with such appreciation!!”

Nac’s speech will go on and on to mask his shyness but he would continue to appreciate Arujisama a lot, so get ready for a poetic speech marathon! (He would preach it with a strong blush)

And while Nac usually helps Aruji, he doesn’t think he would get another kiss, as he thinks he was born to help Aruji.

“Arujisama, how should this Nac assist you?”

Basement

Lato

“Hum…why did you kiss me, Arujisama?”

Lato felt very confused by the gesture, but nonetheless, Arujisama’s lips feel soft on his cheek.

He felt his heart beating faster, but he wasn’t sure if it was because of Arujisama who came closer to him or the kiss.

“Kufufu ♪ maybe Arujisama should try to kiss me more so I can find out the answer.”

Miyaji

“…..!!!!!!”

Miyaji quickly straighten his back away from Aruji, and you could see the heat travelling to his face and he tried to hide it with his hand. (Please don’t give him a heart attack 😭)

He would thank Arujisama for the kiss as well, and he would try to think of the kiss as children’s kisses so that he could remain calm and not think about the kiss as serious. (But he would also teach Arujisama that they shouldn’t give kisses as thanks as there might be people who might misunderstand the kiss, it is for Aruji’s safety)

“Arujisama…please be careful.”

Flure

“wHAT….???”

The F in Flure is Flushed!!! His face is like a bright red tomato (with his cheeks puffed up)

He’s super surprised by the kiss and he would keep asking Aruji what the kiss is about and he’s going to be mad if you say the kiss is just a friendly kiss (pouts)

But you would see Flure bringing a cake to Aruji and he would look at Aruji from the side to see if Aruji would kiss him again.

“I-it’s not that I was expecting a kiss or anything…!!”

Villa First Floor

Hanamaru

“Heh heh, Arujisama, what else do you need assist with?”

Hanamaru changed his surprised expression by the second, you couldn’t see his faltered expression!

He would continue to ask if Aruji needs a massage, or need to have a drink of water, or anything he can help with just to have more “thanks” in return.

“Eh…you don’t need anything else?”

Yuuhan

“…..!!!!!!!!!!”

Like a cat, he quickly leaped back to the wall, not because he disliked it, but in his culture, there wasn’t a “kiss” as a form of thanks.

He would tell Arujisama about how they shouldn’t do it (in fear they would do it to other butlers) but at the same time, when he leaves the room, he couldn’t help but replay the kiss over and over again, and his red face would be teased by Hanamaru (and he’ll face the demon Yuuhan’s wrath)

“Arujisama…I appreciate your appreciation greatly, however…”

Teddy

“Eh….??? L-Lucky!!!”

He felt over the moon when he received a soft peck from Aruji and he felt that he became the luckiest man in the world!

But at the same time, you see his face completely red while he tries to act energetic.

He wonders if he helped Aruji the next time, he would get another kiss, and Yuuhan would ask Teddy if he’s feeling unwell, perhaps a fever from his bright red face.

“A…ahaha…I’m feeling alright…! M-more than alright, even! I feel like I could take on everyone in a training battle!”

Villa Second Floor

Shiro

“…………What is the meaning of this…?”

A super rare shocked Shiro, you can see him freezing with widen eyes.

It took a long time for him to process what happened and even though Aruji explained it was a “thank you”, he would still continue to ask until you gave him an answer thst he is pleased with.

“Hmpt…don’t do it to other men, only with I as the exception, alright?”

Beren

“Eh…? Fufu…♪”

Beren, who usually remains calm, has a rare blush on his cheek!

He would hold the side where you kissed him and smile to himself while patting Aruji’s head.

“So I’m a good kid…” he thought to himself.

If I may ask, what cultures do you think the Butlers are based off on/represent?

[Akuneko HC] Butlers & Their Origins

Hiii Anon! 🥹🫶 I’m doing fine hehe how about you, Anon? Hope you are doing alright 💖

I have thought about this before (and hehe definitely please refute me if you think it’s otherwise), and I searched based on the butlers’ last name. I think we did talk about this in the discord server too!

First Floor

Berrien: Culture with afternoon tea and manner classes, as well as “Cliane”, it’s close to British and Ireland origins.

Lono: the first dish he ever made for Aruji is a traditional British breakfast that consists of baked beans, toast, eggs, sausage, tomato, although, Fontaine is a French origin name. It’s possible he learned English recipes from Berrien when he was staying at the Palace as a young butler, but his culture may be closer to French influenced. (Edit: @baddiekaren added that the name “Lono” also has Hawaiian origins!)

Bastien: He came from Eastern Land, his surname, “Kelly” has Irish origins. Although, from the way he dressed when he was young and he lived in the countryside, tending the livestocks, it makes me think maybe Mongolia or Kazakhstan.

Second Floor

Haures: He came from Central Land, and “Clifford” is an English surname. He would also be from England.

Fennesz: As well, with “Oswald”, and the fact he also came from Central Land, perhaps his culture is also English-based. Although, since both his sister and him played the harp since little, harp has been the symbol for Ireland.

Boschi: As his last name was from the land his grandma brought him to, his last name might not be where he originated from. The name, “Boschi”, originates from Italy, yet, from Ep. 4, you can see he has Eastern ties from the way he is dressed as an emperor, it’s possible it’s inspired by Chinese or Korean type of emperor outfit.

Ammon: “Lead” originates from England as well, while we don’t know if Ammon came from Central Land, but rose is the national flower of England, Luxembourg, Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the flower that are his mother’s favourite, Gardenia, is native to the South Pacific, Australia and Polynesia.

Third Floor

Lucas: His last name “Thompscie” is so rare, when I searched his last name, it was only Lucas that came up as a result 😭, but I can search based on “Thompson” and it has English, Irish and Scottish origins. And the pound cake that he loved a lot also originated from England too. His name “Lucas”, also has origins from Greek, English, Spanish, French, Dutch, and Portuguese.

Lamli: “Bennett” also has English origins, it’s a common surname in England, Scotland and Ireland. “Lamli” is a name that has roots in Germany and France. Since Lamli joined a circus, the first modern circus was done in England. (Edit: Karen also added that “Lamli” also has Finnish origins too :3 and it is derived from “Lampi” which meant “Pond” in Finnish! It’s such a cute detail and Karen is amazing to find this 🥹)

Nac: Nac’s first name, possibly the derived version of “Nacht” in German, which means “Night, Nocturnal” and possibly why his character would stay up late at night doing night patrols and he also has trouble with sleep. His last name, “Stein”, is a common German name and is also a name in Scotland.

Basement

Miyaji: I find Miyaji’s name quite interesting, because when I first read his name, his name is in Japanese. It’s possible that it might be a Japanese spelling of his original name. Although, Miyaji is South Asian, as he enjoys putting a generous serving of spices in his dishes, he enjoys spicy cuisines. He is most likely Indian, as his tea in the tea keychain was “chai” and India is known for its spices.

Lato: The name “Lato”, is a surname in Hungary, Poland and Italy. As for his last name, “Bacca”, it is English. Although, according to ep 3, Lato came from Eastern Land, it’s possible he also came from similar places like Bastien as well.

Flure: “Garcia” is a common name from Spain, Portugal, France and Philippine. When I search for “Flure”, there isn’t a name that’s exactly in this spelling, but “Fleur”, which is “Flower” in French. As Flure comes from a background in Ballet, it is a dance that first originates from Italy then to France.

Villa First Floor

Yuuhan: Yuuhan’s origin is most likely Chinese, even though his last name is in Japanese. At the very beginning, Yuuhan’s name got changed from “Lin Yuuhan” to “Shinonome Yuuhan” and in Kanji, his last name meant “East Cloud”. He also does traditional tea ceremonies, which is a ritual and a form of arts that’s prevalent in China too.

Hanamaru: Japanese, hehe, he comes from “Ito”, which is also a Japanese name for a region, his last name “Kawakami” and “Hanamaru” are both from Japan, and he also can make udon and kid’s bentou too.

Teddy: His last name, “Brown”, has English and Scottish origins. The name “Teddy”, usually short from Theodore, Edward or Edmund, has unknown origin, but also has ties to English and American culture, it’s possible that it might be tied to “Teddy Bear”. As well, Teddy also came from Central Land.

Villa Second Floor

Beren: English, since “Cliane”, the same as Berrien and Goetia, although, the name, “Bellen”, has German, Netherlands, France, Belgium origins too!

if you're taking requests right now, can i request an aruji who relly loves to draw and the butler finds out they are aruji's muse, i dont know what butler would fit this so i let u pick heheh (hope that makes sense uwahhh!!!!)

please and thank you and have an awesome day/night bc ur awesome (*^￢^*)

[Akuneko HC] Aruji who loves to draw with the butlers as their muse

Hiiiiiii and hehe this is such a cute head canon! And thank you so much, Soosy, I hope you have an awesome day too 🥹🫶💖

Berrien

“A-arujisama…you’re drawing me on your canvas…?”

You bet he would be blushing, but his smile is so bright (you better put on a pair of sunglasses)

He’s really flattered to be your muse, and he would be curious about the parts that catches your eyes

And he would make the most sophisticated and beautiful pose for you to sketch in, he is very conscious about his poses (not wanting to let Aruji sees his embarrassing sides)

If you ever show/give him your art, he’s going to frame it and put it in his room and look at it every night

He would be like “Fufu…♪ So this is how Arujisama sees me…”

He’s super proud of what you draw and he treasures it a lot

Lono

“Awww, Arujisama…! How should I pose? Do I do this? Should I do this, heh, what do you want me to do!”

He’s so stoked that you’re drawing him on your page, and he wants to make the coolest pose!

He started striking different poses for you, so you can practice sketching all you want!

Of course, he wanted to look at the art, so occasionally he would be sneaking peeks here and there.

If you were to show and give the art to Lono, he would be like “WHOA this is amazing, Arujisama!!!” He’ll put the art somewhere safe in his bedroom and he would make the snacks you enjoy as thanks, and he’ll keep looking at the art whenever he has time.

Bastien

“I see…how should I do this, Arujisama…I’ve never posed for someone before….”

He would feel kind of confused, but interested in what you would be drawing.

As a sculptor himself, he would often look at picture books as his reference, and it’s easy to sculpt them when they don’t move, and that’s what he would do for you (he would freeze right there and stop moving like a statue)

If you tell him to relax, then he would just sit there and eventually he would fall asleep waiting.

When he wakes up and sees your art, he would have the softest smile, holding the art in his hands, “It’s really wonderful, Arujisama…thank you.”

He’ll keep it somewhere safe in his room too, and he would only look at it by himself.

Haures

“Arujisama, how should I do this? Would you want me to do my work as it is, or would you like me to stand here?”

Haures was in the middle of his work when he heard you sketching, and he was surprised to know the subject was him.

He would come near you and ask if he should stay still for easier sketching, but you said he could continue to do his work, so he stepped on the ladder and continue to fix whatever is needed inside the room.

Haures felt kind of nervous when Aruji is looking at him, but he tries to maintain his composure. (You could tell his face began to turn red the longer Aruji stares at him)

When you showed him your art, he would smile like a kind big brother, with eyes are shining and he would be like, “Thank you for the amazing art, Arujisama…” (he would also be more conscious about how he is posing from now on)

Fennesz

“E-eh…would that really be okay…are you sure you want me to be the subject, Arujisama…?”

He would feel nervous about being as Aruji’s muse, because he doesn’t feel confident to take the role.

But when Aruji insisted that it has to be him, he agreed and began to read, but the more he tries to be less conscious, the more he started to think more.

Is my pose alright, is my smile alright, am I natural enough, am I easy to draw for Aruji? What should I do…?

He also felt nervous by Aruji’s gaze (he felt happy that Aruji is looking at him though)

And he couldn’t really read a word and his thoughts are swarming until Aruji is finished.

You can see him beaming when he received your art, “ah…so this is how I look from your eyes, Arujisama…fufu…” he would look at it a lot, and treasure it too.

Ammon

“Heh~? Arujisama, you want me to be your muse~?”

The usually teasing Ammon would come close to Arujisama, wanting to make Arujisama race with the close distance.

He would be staring at Arujisama, making them feel shy, and he would smile charmingly, sticking his tongue out, he wish to see how much he could stop Aruji from drawing.

But when he’s conscious about Aruji’s gaze on him, he couldn’t help but avert his eyes to the side, and blush.

He would try to hold it together, hiding his face behind the rose, and Aruji would ask him to lower the rose, so they can draw his face, and Ammon’s face would eventually grew redder like the rose in his hand.

And when Aruji is finished, he would hold the art as gently as he holds his flowers, he’s really happy that Aruji has been thinking of him this whole time in their mind, and the next time Aruji wish to draw him again, he’ll pose for them anytime~♪ just the two of them.

He’ll be bringing bouquets of flowers as thanks for Arujisama.

Boschi

“Oh? Arujisama, you want to draw me?”

As the interior designer, Boschi has a pair of keen eyes for beauty.

Boschi would close his eyes on the chair, crossing his arms, and let Aruji sketch for as long as they wish.

He would fall asleep to the soft sketching sounds, his shoulders relaxed, and he had a soft smile too.

When he woke up, he saw Aruji was still sketching him, and he would stare back at Aruji with a smirk, which surprised them.

Boschi felt quite happy that Aruji is focused on him, he would support his chin with his hand on the armrest, he looks cool just as he is.

And when Aruji showed him their art, his eyes soften, “heh…so I look this beautiful in your eyes, huh, Arujisama…?” His smile could melt others.

Lucas

“Fufu, Arujisama, it’ll be my pleasure. I’m curious to see how I look in your eyes ♪”

Lucas, who’s also good at making people’s heart race, would be staring at Aruji’s expression while he sits and poses.

Especially this is a good time for him to observe how Aruji usually works, he would stare at their eyebrows, their eyes, their smile, their blush, and he had a lot of fun looking at Aruji’s various expressions.

The moment that he enjoyed the most are when his eyes met Aruji’s, whenever Aruji lifted their head from their book, their eyes would follow Lucas’s figure to his eyes, and he also felt his heart race more too.

When Aruji finished, he would stroll to Aruji’s side and appreciate the art, “fufu…♪ what a gorgeous art you have made, Arujisama…is this how you usually see me?”

He would keep the art framed in his office, and he would feel refreshed looking at the art whenever he felt tired from his work.

Lamli

“YAY, Arujisama wants to draw me!!! Arujisama, Arujisama, should I bring the geko-chans? (Froggies), should I pose coolly? What should I do, what should I do~?”

Lamli jumped up and down at the thought Arujisama would be drawing him!

He has drawn Arujisama a lot on paper and this time, Arujisama wants to draw him??

He would be searching for his box and closet to wear the best outfits for Aruji to draw and if you want him to strike any acrobatic poses, he would be super flexible to do them!

He would even juggle for you too, as long as he could keep your composition interesting~

And he would lean over every time but quickly stand back, looking to the side with a mischievous cat smile, and do it over and over again, because he’s so curious about what you are drawing and he would feel like his face is heating up every time you look at him.

When you finish with the art, he would be running to show it to Lucas, “Lucas-sama!! Lucas-sama!! Look! Arujisama drew me!!!!!!” And he would also show it off to every butler, and at night he would be hugging the art in his sleep because he’s so happy.

Nac

“Ah, it’s the highest honour in the world for someone so beautiful as Arujisama, to capture this Nac, through your shining, mesmerizing eyes!”

As an appreciator for beauty, Nac is over the moon that Aruji wish to capture him on paper.

Especially when Aruji would be focusing their wonderful gaze on him, he felt his heart racing fast.

His posture is proper and clear, with his back straighten and graceful.

He wish that each time Aruji looked up, they would see him striking a beautiful pose each time, he wish to serve as the best muse for you.

When Nac is looking at the finance report, his face seemed more serious, but nevertheless beautiful still.

And when finished the art, you could feel Nac is brewing more beautiful phrases in his mind to praise your work, “ah, Arujisama, your artwork should be placed in the world’s best art gallery, no, it shall be displayed for everyone to appreciate, how beautifully detailed it is, you have captured me in your wonderful strokes of sketches, as if it was a mirror itself, ah, for I wish for more vocabularies to appreciate your art, but I will not run out of words to praise you, Arujisama! Etc…”

Miyaji

“Arujisama…are you sure you want this old man to be your model…?”

He tends to call himself an old man, and he’s not confident to be captured on canvas as well like Fennesz.

Since there are other butlers that he think would be suitable as Aruji’s muse.

But since you wish for him to be your muse, he would smile and agree.

He would start to play the cello for Aruji as a relaxing background music.

He played lightly so that he’s not too distracting for Aruji, but he would glance at Aruji to make sure they’re not too tired.

When the pencil stopped, that was when he released his bow from his strings, the end to the song he played.

And Miyaji smiled warmly, like a proud father, while holding your art in his palms. “Thank you very much, Arujisama…it’s a very beautiful piece that you made of me…”

Flure

“Y-you’re going to draw me, Arujisama?? O-of course, then I can maybe show you some poses…!”

As the tailor of the mansion, he usually is the one designing for others, so it was a rare opportunity for him to be capture on canvas instead.

Flure felt a sense of shyness whenever he meets Aruji’s eyes, and his face would grew more red, like a red tomato, and if you laugh, he would be pouting at you.

He would attempt to do his usual ballet poses, or even carrying his rapier, so he looks like a cool prince.

He wish to look cool for you.

When he finally saw the final piece, his eyes would shine, as much as he saw the most beautiful fabric, he would be really excited to look at the details, especially you capture him and his clothes so well in your style, it felt like it was a dream.

As thanks, you are his muse too for him to design even more outfits for you to wear.

Lato

“Kufufu…I would love to be your muse, Arujisama…please do show me your beautiful work afterwards ♪”

Lato enjoys looking at beautiful things: from nature, flowers, butterflies to picture books and more, if it’s something beautiful, Lato would love to look at them.

And for Arujisama to want to look at Lato, it meant that to Arujisama, he too is someone who is beautiful enough to be captured, and he felt warm inside.

He would wait patiently while humming happily, he would pose in the dance poses he came up with.

His ears listened to the rhythm of your pencil, and he wobbled his head with the beat.

And when you’re done, he would run up to you to look, with his eyes widen in happiness, he carried the canvas happily in his palms and ran to show his basement family.

Hanamaru

“Hoho…I can’t believe Arujisama is going to draw this Hanamaru-sama, I should strike the coolest pose, no, no, that would definitely blind Arujisama…then how about this cute pose? No, no, I’ll be too cute to be captured…! Oh no, Arujisama, what should I do??”

As someone who’s probably be a model for his children before, he likes to joke around a lot, but he’ll make sure to pose properly for Aruji.

You’ll see him make different faces at Aruji to try to distract them, but he’s also happy about how Aruji is looking at him.

Sometimes he wants to grab an alcohol bottle and do a chugging position, but Aruji stopped him.

He would also take a playing card and pose with it.

He would go behind Aruji once in a while to see how it turns out but Aruji would hide it from him and he’s like “Aww, too bad…”

But when he saw the final art, you thought he would be smug about it, but he was smiling gently. “Heh…so this is how I look in your eyes, Arujisama…this is really good, Arujisama, thanks…!”

He’ll stare at the art while he drinks at night, and he felt too happy that he drank too much that Yuuhan and Teddy would scold him the next day.

Yuuhan

“Arujisama, I would be very flattered to be your subject, I shall pose in the most captivating way, so that it’s easier to capture.”

As a someone who’s into traditional tea ceremony, Yuuhan is very aware of how he carries himself.

And when he was in Eastern Land, he also learned how to dance with a fan, he would make poses while carrying props, and pose in a beautiful way.

He would confirm with Aruji if he was doing the poses properly, and if he has the affirmation, he would continue to hold the poses for you.

If you ask him to hold the pose for hours, he would be the type to do so (hard worker)

And when you showed him your art, he would be dazzled, and he could see him smile in such a bright way, almost like a smile from his childhood, “This is beautiful, Arujisama, thank you very much…”

He would keep the art near by his drawer to see it every night.

Teddy

“Lucky ♪ I’m so happy that you want to draw me, Arujisama! I’ve seen cool knight arts that gets drawn by artists, and to have Arujisama draw me?? I’m so lucky!”

Teddy would want to hold his sword on the ground like those cool knights, and even those where the knight got appointed by a king by placing a sword on the shoulder.

Of course, he also didn’t want to cause trouble for Aruji, so he would follow whichever Aruji wishes him to do!

You can see Teddy grinning throughout the whole thing, you could almost contain his shine on the page.

Teddy would also blush because he could feel your gaze on him, and he wondered which part are you currently drawing.

When you finish with the art, Teddy would be exclaiming, “This is such a masterpiece, Arujisama!!” And he’s really happy about how well you drew him, and he will bring strawberry tarts for you as thanks.

Shiro

“Hm…you can do as you please…just tell me where you want me.”

As an artist, he knows that he would give Aruji space and a quiet environment for them to draw.

He would sit down on a chair, also sketching in his page to join Aruji too.

He tries to use minimal movements, but he would glance at Aruji every once in a while.

You hear the room filled with pencil scribbling sounds.

By the time you finish, he’s done too.

You shared sketchbooks with each other, and you would receive an art of you, while he stared at the art you gave him.

“Hm…you’ve captured me quite well. Thank you, I shall treasure this.”

Even though he doesn’t have a lot of expression, you could see a slight curve on his lips, a tender smile when he noticed the details you put in when you draw him.

He will keep looking at your art until other butlers call for him. (He doesn’t want to show it to other butlers because they will tease him)

Beren

“As long as you need Beren-nii, I’ll pose for as long as you wish, Arujisama ♪”

Beren-nii is a really doting big brother who would try his best to pose for Arujisama.

He has pose for the little children at the orphanage before, but when it comes to Aruji, he felt different, almost nervous to be stared at by Aruji.

He tries to pose naturally, and changing it up when needed for Aruji and if Aruji asked for a pose, he would try to fulfil Aruji’s wish.

When he sees Aruji’s serious expression, he couldn’t help but smile, and before he noticed, he would pat Aruji’s head like a big brother after Aruji finished drawing.

“Wow…so this is how I looked like from your perspective, Arujisama…fufu…I look very handsome, thank you Arujisama ♪” you bet he’s going to show it off to Shiro and everyone, because of how proud he is.

Muu

“Fufufu, Arujisama is going to draw me~?”

Muu would be doing his best to make the best poses, stretching, standing on two feet, sleeping like a ball, eating chicken tendies, the cutest poses for you to draw

Afterwards, he would curled up in your laps and purr happily, acting like a support for your sketchbook while you can pat him for more inspiration.

Hiiii Pluck! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ thank you so much for the wait!

Hehe when the butlers are jealous, I think they’re quite straightforward about it when it’s just the two of you together :3 (especially with the Home Screen where they’ll say it outright like, “But for some reason, whenever I see you talking with other people…my heart feels stuffy….” <- real line, and they’ll apologize for saying so because they don’t want to restrict you from talking with other people, and with Hanamaru, I think he’s like “Me? Jealous? I’ll just wait here with my open arms for you whenever you decided to come back.” <- although he did once say that “Arujisama, are you trying to make me jealous…? You know, jealousy can be a terrifying thing…just kidding.”

For butlers that would feel jealous when you smile at other people, they might do a confession about how “I wish that your smile would be directed only at me…” or maybe like “only smile at me” <- like what Shiro did.

And also Berrien who is jealous of a cat being patted by you or Ammon who is jealous that you would look at a flower more than him, they might blurt out what they were thinking about but then they might add a “just kidding”

With Teddy, when he was holding the sun umbrella for Aruji, and he looked at Yuuhan holding Aruji’s hand, he was staring the whole time, to the point Yuuhan thought he was really obvious about it and Yuuhan called Teddy out JAJSA <- they did take turns to hold the umbrella and hold Aruji’s hand in the Protection of the Stars Event.

With Fennesz, he was also staring hard at Haures when Aruji and Haures were dancing together in Butler’s cruise JSJSJA Ammon also called Fennesz out like “aren’t you the one who wants to dance with Aruji the most?”

I remember Miyaji would not feel jealous if it’s other butlers but when it comes to Lucas, if Aruji prefers to be with Lucas more, he would feel uneasy JSJSJ

I remember there was a Home Screen line where the butlers would ask if Aruji prefers butlers like them (quality) or others and if you pick others, they’ll be like Arujisama…? And if Aruji keeps teasing them they’ll be sad like “Arujisama…why would you play with my heart like this…”

But I can imagine they would be quite clingy when it’s just the two of you, and even more when the relationship became more romantic.

Hiii Anon!!! 🥹💖

If the butlers were to know Aruji is touch starved, I’m sure they would comfort Aruji and they would ask for your permission before they could hold your hand to reassure you. After all, they can deliver their warmth by overlapping their hands hehe.

I imagine they would have imagined over and over again, wanting to hold your hands like this, and they’re glad that they can provide with more support like this.

After being together with Aruji for a long time, whenever Aruji glanced at them, the butler would immediately notice and come closer to Aruji.

“Fufu…did Arujisama wish to hold hands with me?” Because they saw you staring at their hand while they held the notebook.

And if Aruji wish to have more comfort, the butler would pat your head so soothingly, praising you, and talk about how wonderful you are.

If Arujisama felt lonely and wish to be enveloped by them, the butler would say, “Please excuse me, Arujisama…” and he would wrap his arms around you, a gentle hug, and he would hug you for as long as you wish to, patting your back rhythmically, while ruffling your head.

Sometimes, the butler would cup Aruji’s cheeks with their hands too, warming their face from the cold wind.

If they can provide you with comfort, they would feel really happy.

Like, if aruji disappeared for a while just to return as the butler's enemy.

You can choose which butler you want to do if it's too much, or maybe could you do it with Lato?

I love your works a lot ❤️ ❤️❤️

[Akuneko HC] If Aruji were to turn into an angel

Requested by Anon! Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹🫶💖

⚠️ Some main stories spoilers warning! ⚠️

Berrien

“T-this must have been a bad dream…right…Arujisama…?”

He couldn’t face the truth, even when Arujisama appears as an angel before him. His spear lowered to the ground, his pupils shaken.

For his most precious person has appeared exactly what he had seen in a nightmare previously.

Lono

“A-Arujisama…! Hey…! You’re just brainwashed by those angels, right…? Arujisama…!!”

He would continue to believe that Arujisama didn’t betray them, and they were simply brainwashed by the angels.

He doesn’t think it was Arujisama’s decision.

He wishes to save Arujisama from the angels, that way, Arujisama can be back to their regular self again.

Bastien

“A..Arujisama…there’s no way I could fight against you like this…”

Being the one who had ended Jessica’s life, there’s no way he could ever fight against Arujisama.

When he saw Arujisama as an angel, his heavy sword stabbed into the ground, he couldn’t move.

Haures

“Arujisama…! Please come to your senses, Arujisama!”

When Haures got demonized, it was Arujisama who has saved him, and this time, it was up to Haures to call Arujisama back.

He thinks that Arujisama was being controlled by the angels, that’s why Arujisama became an angel.

There’s no way Haures is going to let Arujisama to be like this.

Fennesz

“A…Arujisama…arujisama…it can’t be….it can’t be…!!”

Being someone who’s more prone to negative thinking, it had been Fennesz’s worst nightmare to see Arujisama as an angel.

He knew that the intelligence angels would be targeting Arujisama, as Aruji is the most important and critical person to them, but never in a million chance would he thought about Arujisama becoming an angel before their eyes, and his axe fell over, with his hands trembling.

Boschi

“Huh…is this some kind of a bad joke…hey, Arujisama…! Arujisama…!”

Boschi couldn’t believe it.

When Arujisama had disappeared, he couldn’t sit still and wait for them, and he also went out to search for them.

He was terribly worried for Arujisama, as Aruji is his life.

And now, Arujisama had became an angel before him? Is this some kind of a cruel joke from life?

Ammon

“A-Arujisama…is this really what you wanted…? Surely you’re taken by those angels…right, Arujisama…?”

As someone who’s untrusting, Arujisama was someone who allowed him to open himself, and he too, fully trusts Arujisama.

And seeing Arujisama becoming an angel before his eyes, made him wonder if this really was something Arujisama wishes to do, because the Arujisama he knows wouldn’t do it.

Lamli

“Wah….Arujisama….please come back…you can’t…you can’t go to that side…! Please don’t leave us…”

Lamli is terrified of being by himself, especially being left behind by the very person he treasures a lot.

And seeing Arujisama abandoning them, made him feel even more scared about how Arujisama wouldn’t come back anymore, and he would cry out to them to ask them to come back.

He couldn’t point his blades at the person he loves the most.

Lucas

“Arujisama…surely this wasn’t your decision, right…? Has the intelligence angel manipulated your mind to join them…? Was this their new tactic…? Else…Arujisama…”

Lucas is someone who has thought of every situation.

And in his mind, he knew the Arujisama he knows wouldn’t go to the angels by themselves.

There could have been a weakness, or blackmail that the angels had proposed, which is why, he wouldn’t think it was Arujisama’s choice, and if Arujisama were to attack, he would only defend, but he would not ever hurt Arujisama, even as an angel.

Nac

“Our beautiful Arujisama…for I do not know what your warm sunshine heart has gone through…even though you brighten our days, but Arujisama, not like this…please come back…!”

Nac is overwhelmed with emotions, thinking about the events that has lead to Arujisama becoming an angel.

His heart ached when he thought about the suffering Arujisama might have gone through that they would make such a decision.

He would try his very best to call Arujisama back to their senses as well, while dodging swiftly against their attacks.

Lato

“Arujisama…? Didn’t you promise me you’ll always be with me…? If you are an angel now…I would have no choice but to break you with my own hands, wouldn’t I…? I’ll make sure to end your suffering, Arujisama.”

After making a promise together with Arujisama, Lato has finally overcame his condition with the moon.

Yet, why is it that the person that is the dearest to his life, became the very thing he vowed to destroy?

He once said that living beings are beautiful, yet fragile.

And if Arujisama were to die, he rather be the one to break Arujisama instead.

But don’t worry, Arujisama, he would also come afterwards.

He will never let you be by yourself.

Flure

“A…Arujisama….!! Arujisama, you can’t…! Kuh…there’s no way I could point my arrows at you…”

Arujisama, being the person he desperately wanted to protect, to be stronger so that he could save Arujisama from the angels…

But now, they became an angel…?

Even though his arrows are to be aimed at the angel’s wings, but he could not aim them at Arujisama, fearing they would be hurt, and Arujisama might fell to the ground.

But in his mind, it hurts…

The angels had already taken Zepal-san…and now they also took Arujisama…?

Flure could only look at Arujisama, the string on the bow trembled because of his shivered fingers.

Miyaji

“Arujisama…I’m not sure what has happened to you…but, let’s go home, alright, Arujisama…?”

Miyaji would reassure Arujisama, because if Arujisama had became an angel, there must have been no choice left for them to choose from.

He wanted to comfort Arujisama that they still have a place in the mansion.

Even though in his mind, he was also at disbelief, for Arujisama is his life’s purpose.

He could not point his sword at Arujisama, he would rather place his sword at the ground to show that he has no harm against Arujisama.

Hanamaru

“Hey, hey…this has to be a prank, isn’t it…? You got me, Arujisama, you can come down now…! Hanamaru-sama will be right here to catch ya, so…please come down…”

Hanamaru has been wanting to take revenge on the angels ever since the angels have attacked the orphanage.

And he once thought of wanting to “use” Arujisama so that he can get his revenge on the angels, because Arujisama is the one who could unlock his powers.

But now, Arujisama is the person he treasures, far more than he could ever imagine, and for them to be an angel, must have been a prank, and he would rather joke in this situation because he couldn’t believe it himself.

Even though Arujisama had become the angel that he despised, there’s no way he could point his sword at them at all.

Yuuhan

“Arujisama…you were the one who has given me this life…and I’ll always be by your side…there’s no way I could be on the opposite end to face you…!”

Yuuhan has given Arujisama his life, his body and his soul.

After his time with the Sardeis Family, he knew that he had to make the right decision, to serve justice.

But to see Arujisama like this, he was left in a dilemma, for Arujisama is the person that is above his life, yet, they took a path in which he has to stop them.

Should he join Arujisama, or should he stop them?

Teddy

“Arujisama…! Please come back….you can’t be taken by the angels….no more…I can’t let the angels take the people who are precious to me anymore….”

Teddy has lost too many people against angels, and the reason why he wanted to fight against them again, was because he doesn’t want to lose anymore people to the angels.

Yet, Arujisama, the person who saved him from his darkness, had became the very being that ached him a lot…

He gripped tightly on his sword, but his sword lowered against Arujisama.

How can he ever raise a sword against the very person he sworn to protect?

Beren

“Arujisama…it’s Beren-nii…I’ll always be right here to talk to you, even as an angel, we could surely talk first, right?”

Being someone who was experienced with fighting against angels, he knew about how angels would fight.

But in this case, it was Arujisama who was the angel, and he rather behave like this regular self to get Arujisama to trust him, he wouldn’t want to fight Arujisama at all.

If Arujisama behaves like an intelligent angel, surely they could talk to him and perhaps, Beren would know the next steps to take to save Arujisama.

Shiro

“Hm…so is this really your decision? If so, I don’t intend to let you continue this path.”

As Arujisama has saved Shiro’s life, to Shiro, Arujisama is his saviour.

And for his saviour to take such a path, he wouldn’t let Arujisama hurt the people that they treasure.

He would deflect Arujisama’s attacks, but you don’t see him attacking them.

Even though Shiro looks cold, he deeply cared about Arujisama, and he doesn’t want them to get hurt by his sword.

Hiiii Anon! 🥹💖

Hehe this is such a sweet question, I think they would still be quite affectionate with them.

[Akuneko HC] Butler with Children

There were exploration memories and Butler Now that has Butlers taking care of a baby, if I remember, I think it was Bastien and Boschi hehe they were really soft with the baby, you could tell how careful and sweet they are.

And in Butler’s Wedding, Lono also wanted a large family too, having children who would all gather around the table and say, “Thank you for the meal!” Together hehe so I think he would be an amazing father.

With Miyaji and Hanamaru, you can tell how experienced they are with taking care of children, and I remember there was an official art of Hanamaru with a baby too in his arms, I think they would make patient, loving fathers 🥹

With Berrien and Beren, growing up at an orphanage and taking care of the other children, I think they would also be sweet doting fathers who wish to fulfil the children’s wishes.

With Lamli, I remember a homescreen line where he saw a baby who was put in front of the orphanage and he cried, because the baby reminded him of him, and he said, “don’t worry, Arujisama, I’ll make sure to keep the baby company by visiting them more!” Someone who would do whatever it takes for the people he loves would definitely be very affectionate towards his children hehe

With Haures and Lato, as they are the eldest, they’re also quite good at taking care of their younger siblings too. Hehe I can imagine they would give piggy packs to their children.

With Fennesz and Flure, while they are the younger siblings who has older sisters taking care of them, when you see certain events, they would take the initiative to protect and guide the children (on multiple instances), such as the Butterfly Forest, Black Rabbit, and Circus with Fennesz, and with Flure, he protects and guides the children in Dolltown and Butler’s Summer, when there is someone important to them, they would become stronger to protect them and I think they would be quite affectionate with their children, with Fennesz flipping through child caring books and Flure making a lot of baby clothes hehe.

With Ammon and Nac, when they have children, they strike me as the type who would provide the children with the childhood they never had, and by doing so, they made sure to earn enough money so that their children would never have to worry about them. And I can imagine they both of them would teach their children to have good habits and they would reward them too!

With Yuuhan and Teddy, I can imagine they would replicate the perfect family life inside their head, and they’re determined to make it happen. Yuuhan would learn from his parents, about raising the children with values and integrities, and also nurturing their interests and telling them to take breaks too. With Teddy, I can imagine Teddy would shower them with as much love as he can, he would never let his children feel lonely in his household and you can see him react with enthusiasm to his children’s interests and I can imagine he would act along side them as knights.
