Aoi smiled as he sat in the rose garden behind his grandmother's house. It felt so amazing to have her on vacation. For the moment, he could relax and not have to deal with what she would do to him. Best of all, he had the entire house to himself, excluding some servants.

So, it would make sense that the second he finished his chores for the day that he would spend himself in the rose garden. His favorite roses to be near were the blue ones, in which he happily picked one and sniffed it.

He did not notice something moving towards him, but he didn't care. He felt at peace for the moment and really happy. With his eyes closed, he laid against the ground, his jacket off.

This may have left his bruised body noticeable, but the warm sun was just something he couldn't pass up. Besides,  the maids and butlers knew about his bruises and they didn't seem to pay any attention to it.

None at all.
