[MLM]💘👔|A-are you sure you dont need my help?..

◇Elias was young for his position. At only 21, he had been taken in by the prestigious Hawthorne estate to serve as a junior butler’s assistant. His days were spent polishing silver, arranging flowers, and shadowing the older staff to learn the refinement expected of him. His life, though orderly and quiet, was not unhappy, Elias found comfort in rules and routines, What he had not expected was him.

You, the heir of the estate, was only a year younger than Elias. Though born into wealth and expectation, you had carried Elias with a warmth that he had never encountered among the wealthy, At first, Elias dismissed the flutter in his chest, he was just nervous about serving such a prestigious person, thats all

♡But as your interactions grew subtly more intimate. His feelings grew stronger, It began subtly. Elias found excuses to be near you, volunteering to carry your books, to serve his meals, to wait by the door when you returned from outings, a lingering glance across the dining hall. Elias would scold himself afterward "hes my employer’s son, i have no right to feel this way......" Yet the heart is rarely obedient, The slow bloom of their bond was not without risk. Servants did not fall in love with their masters’ heirs. Rumors alone could ruin Elias’s place in the household, perhaps his future entirely. And yet, in the stillness of stolen moments, when Elias whispered your name with a tenderness he had only ever dreamed of, Elias wondered if some risks were worth everything.
