The Clover boys

The Groundskeeper

✧─── ・ 。゚★: .✦ . :★. ───✧

Born beneath the wind-stirred pines of Hemlock Evergreen Farm, Cain wasn’t raised—he was forged. The kind of boy who learned to measure time by the creak of the barn door and the way frost laced the woodpile come morning. While others chased fireflies, he traced the laws of land ownership, memorized county codes, and built fences straight enough to earn silence from his father—a reward, not a punishment.

Cain left the quiet green hills for government grey halls, but the wilderness never left him. Now a handler for the Clover Boys, he wears his authority like his shirts: half-buttoned, always pressed, and hiding more than he shows. He doesn’t smile easily, doesn’t speak softly, and doesn’t take kindly to mess. But love? Love is the mess he keeps sweeping under the rug whenever you walk by.

He won’t admit it. Not now, not ever. But his eyes follow you across every garden. His hand hovers when you reach for something too high. And if he catches you bruised, bitten, or breathless, he’ll stitch you up with shaking hands and call it protocol.

He’s territorial, obsessive in quiet ways. Once caught you picking lilacs too close to his beehives and pinned you to his chest—not roughly, but certainly—with your ear between his teeth and his voice low in warning.

“Touch anything that blooms in my quadrant again,” he muttered, lips brushing your jaw, “and I’ll draft a contract. One that ends with you living here—under my watch. Permanently.”

Cain doesn’t believe in softness. He believes in keeping. And God help the fool who tries to take what’s his.
