NEVER GIVE UP

The First Day

' So, here we are, he let me work for his son. God, I hope everything we'll be okay…'

The blonde sixteen-years-old boy thought, while the major-domo led him to his new room. He never exchanged a word with the old man, and this was making him uncomfortable. Yamato looked up, hoping to see a trace of sympathy in that blank face, but he found none. Discouraged he turned his look to the endless corridor, all dark and upsetting for his shattered soul. There were many portraits of all the components of the Yagami family, some old even over a century. There were serious men, with rounded glasses on the nose, severe old women sat on big wooden chairs, kids playing with weird toys and many many more. About at the end of the corridor there were some portraits of the nowadays Yagamis. Mamoru Yagami was withdrawn standing tall near his wife, Akiko, who was looking almost happy; there was one about a young girl, perhaps of Takeru's age, maybe she was the daughter; she was pretty, with neck-length brown hair and ruby eyes; there was a painting of Taichi's too, of course.

Thinking about his "master", Yamato froze lightly; luckily Yoshimoto didn't notice anything. The blonde felt something weird towards the other boy. He didn't know what it was, but he knew that there was something. When he had looked into the brunette's eyes he had found contrasting emotions, fear, humiliation, hope, and, was it possible, possession? Did he, Yamato, do this to him?

The major-domo interrupted his thoughts, announcing him that they were arrived. He left him in the room, then went to call Lady Inoue.

Yamato sat on the bed and sighed. Sure, the house was beautiful, his room was terrific, the job and the prospective of his mother healed by famous doctors was of course satisfying but, he felt sad. And he knew why. He now had everything to make his family's life get better, but he had lost one vital thing; himself.

Since now he had to renounce being his true self, the boy he always was, to act a role. He was a mask, pure and simple. They believed he was a girl, and they had to keep believing it if he wanted to keep working for them.

When Mimi had firstly proposed him this job his mind, and his pride, screamed a big, powerful no. but his conscience couldn't let him refuse the only job he could get. So he had to accept.

The chestnut girl had explained him that the Yagamis were looking for a maid anywhere and they offered a very well paid job, but, for unknown reasons, they couldn't find a lasting one. They worked only three months, then they quit the house.

The only problem was that they accepted only female maids. Not males, only females. But still, that was the only job he could get quickly. The others were unobtainable. So had to decide between his pride and the love he felt for his family.

The decision was purely rhetoric.

Now there he was, in the biggest room he had ever been before, or only seen before.

He lay on the satin sheets and sighed. What if they discovered he was a boy, not a girl? Would he be throw away? And what about the helps Mr Yagami had promised to provide his mother with? And if, and if…

All these thoughts hummed in the blonde's head, tiring and scaring him.

Suddenly a knock on the door woke him from his quasi-unconscious state and made him sit up. There stood a young woman, with lilac long and straight hair, waist-length but very pretty at the seen. She wore big rounded glasses which added a bit of sympathy to her friendly face. She was smiling and that smile was the most comforting thing Yamato had seen in all the day.

"Hello, Yamako. I'm Lady Miyako Inoue, Miss Hikari Yagami's personal assistant. Master Yagami told me you're new and that I had to teach you something about your job, isn't it?" she welcomed him, with a caring look and her face.

Yamato nodded, a bit shyly. She was right, he had to learn everything, even if Mimi had tried to teach him something about domestic duties. He was really bad at those kind of things, at least this was what he thought.

"I see" she continued "but before 'school' I'd like to know something about you" Yamato gulped "you see, to getting to know each other, after all we're going to be friends, right?" she grinned.

"Yeah, friends…" he smiled. Maybe this new life wasn't as bad as he thought, in the end.

*~*~*~*

That Wednesday morning saw many sleepy head getting up from the pillows, as always. But one of them was already out of the bed, because of insomnia. And another one was still comfortable on the silky pillow, but wasn't asleep. It was very very awake.

These head had blonde and brown hair and belonged to two very troubled boys. The blonde was already up trying to push away that uncomfortable feeling he had had since the previous night; the brunette was in deep thoughts. Just about the said blonde.

"Yamako, wake up, you have to start cleaning up Master Taichi's room and then bringing him his break-fast" Miyako told him, entering the room with a tray full of dishes "but before, eat, you wouldn't be starving until lunch, wouldn't you?" she offered the food to the blonde.

"Thank you" he muttered as kind as is possible with the mouth full of bread, jam and butter.

Miyako watched him devouring his break-fast hungrily. 'My, it must be long time since she had eaten properly, she was practically starving' she frowned.

Yamato finished consummating his food and a look of content appeared on his pale face, with cheeks now red because of the blood which was now circulating very fast in his organism.

"What should I do now?" he asked the lilac-head girl.

"I told you, you have to clean up Taichi's room and bring him his break-fast. He's probably awaken now, so don't be afraid of making any kind of noises. Come with me to the kitchen and take the food. Then go to the Master's bedroom, place the tray on his table and then you can clean up" Miyako explained him.

They went to the kitchen, where Yamato found the tray with Taichi's breakfast, next to Hikari's one.

"Now I gotta go to Miss Yagami, I'm sorry to leave you alone, but hey, it's our job"

He nodded sadly; so now he was going to his master's room, in his first day of work.

He knocked at the door and Taichi's voice permitted him to enter. He breath very deeply and very slowly, and prayed everything would have been all right.

He then opened the door and faced two deep, chocolate eyes.
