A-anyway,
Thank You so much for the patience and the support!❤
And as always,

____________________________
As soon as the military secretary wakes up, his first thought is to get up and get ready for a new and once again to accomplish his duties. He even forgets for a moment about his wounds.
However, after he suddenly sits up in bed, he turns toward the quiet groaning and notices the not-so-happy half-awake Shiki.
Even so, Akira remains calm and explains “I’m terribly sorry for waking you up, sir. If you excuse me, I need to prepare for the work.”.
“What are you talking about? Go back to sleep. It’s your day-off.” Or so the commander replies.
However, the blue-eyed secretary only politely objects “There is no need for that. I’m perfectly fine and a couple of bruises won’t affect my work.”.
For now, Shiki narrows his gaze and replies “Your task is wash yourself and wait until I check on your wounds. Then, I’ll decide if you will take a day-off. Any objections?”.
Lastly, Akira closes his eyes and shakes his head “Not at all.”. After opening his eyes, he gives a soft look before leaving the bed “If this is what you wish for, then it’s my duty to accomplish it.”. Of course, he is secretly happy with how the commander cares about his well-being, even if he thinks Shiki doesn’t need to worry about these scratches.
After Shiki studies and puts the bandage on his subordinate’s wounds, he told that he should stay in the mansion today and recover.
Despite that, the silver-haired secretary wants to be useful, at least in assisting and properly seeing off the commander.
Just before Shiki leaves, Akira addresses him as he finishes fixing the tie ‘‘Are you sure you will be fine, sir? If you feel slightly overwhelmed or if there is even a tiny inconvenience, do not hesitate to contact me. I’ll come to help you in no time.’’.
However, as his secretary finishes fixing the tie, the dark-haired man only gives a satisfied look ‘‘There is no need unless you’re going to sit all day and wait until the phone rings. And how are you going to do it when you have another important task?’’.
“What do you mean by that?” Or so Akira asks as he helps put on the long coat.
After his subordinate finishes the current task, the commander states “You need to take care of the mansion until I return.”.
But for now, as the natural excitement sparkles in these blue eyes, he replies “Yes!”.
Even after simply putting the same thing in other words works as successfully as usual. Once again, the supreme ruler had to use this method to convince his loyal subordinate to rest.
Lastly, Shiki gives a smug look while ruffling his secretary’s hair. Before taking his leave, he looks at Akira, who politely nods and wishes for a safe trip and return.
A few days passed. Yet, the military secretary is tired of staying in the mansion, and his hands are itchy for any job. More so, the longer he is dismissed from the duties, the more he feels like missing out on something important.
Besides, even if he tries not to show it, he is concerned about Shiki, who is already stressed. That’s right, these days the supreme ruler looks more tired after a long day at the office.
When Akira asks whether anything bothers the dark-haired man, he receives the same reply about not needing to worry and not thinking about the work when he is off duty.
Of course, the blue-eyed secretary tried to use the methods he refers to as drastic ones. Hugging the commander from behind and offering him a shoulder massage might work to help him relax and get any clues. Or so he hopes.
After such a gesture, the red-eyed man cracks a smile and asks his subordinate not to push himself and that everything is under his control.
Nowadays, Shiki doesn’t even act like a lascivious feline demanding attention or intimate moments as well. Even when the secretary expects something to happen, it never goes beyond deep kissing.
Therefore, Akira assumes that the military tyrant is sick or something terrible happened during his absence from work.
Even if it wasn’t a part of his secretary’s duties, he needs to figure out what is bothering the commander and solve this issue immediately. That’s why, if Akira is not allowed to work, he’ll visit Shiki during the afternoon break for a cup of tea or coffee. Besides, the commander hasn’t mentioned that this is forbidden.
More importantly, it might give Akira peace of mind, and he may rest assured, knowing that the supreme ruler doesn’t overwhelm himself with too much work. And thus, after putting on the military uniform, Akira leaves the mansion.
Some time passes. As the silver-haired man walks in the corridor, anyone whom he met from his squad was excited to see their captain showing up and warmly greeting him. More importantly, even some higher rank officers seem to be relieved to see him.
What happened when he was gone? And what kind of changes the commander made while he was recovering? Or so wonders Akira while he continues his way toward the destination place.
Finally, he reaches the familiar wooden door. However, before his knuckles touch the door, his hand freezes after hearing the shattering noise and someone panicking and apologizing in a pathetic voice.
Even if the secretary doesn’t know who this person is or cares about him, he cannot risk the commander’s well-being. When he closes his eyes and wastes no time for formalities, he storms in ‘‘Commander!-’’.
Suddenly, he widens his eyes at seeing the Shiki sitting behind the desk, observing with such disappointment the half-sitting despaired young gray-haired secretary leaning on his arm and the ruined papers splashed by coffee lying on the desk.
Clearly, it is a matter of seconds before the military tyrant is about to lose his temper. Or so Akira assumes.
However, when the red-eyed commander lifts his gaze and fixates on his personal secretary, he asks ‘‘What are you doing here?’’.
As Akira closes the door behind him and straightens his posture, he politely replies ‘‘I heard a weird noise behind the door, and I needed to see whether you are safe, sir.’’. When he narrows his lowered gaze, the secretary lifts his gaze and continues ‘‘Please forgive me for my rudeness, but who is an incompetent fool, and what is he doing in your office?’’.
Meanwhile, the poor light-haired secretary only observes this situation while fearing for his life.
“That is your substitute until you recover and are ready go back to work.” Or so Shiki states.
Of course, such sudden news bewilders Akira, but he forces himself to remain calm in front of the most powerful man in the country.
After swallowing the saliva and taking a deep breath, the silver-hair man replies “I have no right to judge but to support you and your decisions, sir. However, please reconsider who will be able to serve you. If you wish, I can help you with that.”.
However, the commander raises an eyebrow while keeping a serious look on his face “Are you telling me what to do?”.
“No. Not all.” Akira shakes his head. After a brief pause, he points with his palm at his replacement “But this worthless thing will only mess up everything even if you entrust him the most simple tasks. More importantly, you’ll endanger yourself if you let this creature anywhere close to you!”.
As he deeply breathes, he continues his speech while pressing his palm against his chest “I won’t allow him to leave peacefully if anything happens to you... That’s why, if you excuse me, I need to talk in-person with him and discipline him accordingly.”.
Lastly, Akira walks closely to the secretary and crouches. When he grabs by the shirt’s collar the trembling young man, he addresses him ‘‘Get up already! Whining won’t help you. So, at least have some shame to face your punishment properly!’’.
For sure, there is no mercy in these ice-cold blue eyes, which show nothing but pure fury and disgust towards his victim. Or so the poor secretary thinks to himself while staring with his big gray eyes and genially fearing for his life.
As Akira grids his teeth, he raises his palm and decides to give an awakening slap to the other secretary. However, his hand and entire body freeze after hearing the commander’s strict voice ‘‘Enough! Release him and come here.’’.
Suddenly, the blue-eyed man realizes that he allowed himself to be led by his emotions, and the whimpering, light-haired young man whose gaze now begs for the commander’s mercy is a good example. Instead of feeling bad for this person, Akira doesn’t waste time and follows orders. While he ignores this secretary and his made mess, he approaches the supreme ruler.
He understands from that serious gaze alone that he also got on the commander’s bad side. Despite that, he keeps a poker face while accepting his fate.
As Shiki exhales, he narrows his gaze and addresses his loyal subordinate ‘‘When did you grow so bold to lash out at your colleagues?’’.
‘‘That is-’’ Yet before the silver-haired secretary explains, his voice is cut when Shiki lifts his palm.
After the commander lowers his palm, he fixates his piercing red eyes on his subordinate and briefly adds ‘‘Do not argue with me.’’. Certainly, it’s enough to silence Akira, who cannot move a single muscle until further command.
When Shiki rests his chin on his palms, he continues without removing his eyes from his subordinate ‘‘You even disobey and do not follow orders. Perhaps firing you may help you understand your place.’’.
After striking Akira’s most painful spot, the military tyrant observes how his stiff secretary does his best to seal his emotions behind his poker face, which may crack soon. More so, instead of asking to reconsider this decision, his subordinate lowers his gaze like a scolded puppy who will never go against his master’s will.
But for now, Shiki turns his gaze towards the other secretary and briefly studies him.
Good, it will help that fellow understand what happens to anyone who goes against him. Or so the supreme ruler thinks.
After returning his gaze to his loyal secretary, he announces the verdict ‘‘Starting today, you need to treat him as any of your men.’’. While Shiki is amused by his subordinate’s confused face, he adds ‘‘You will be able to do this. So, when you are ready to return to your duties, you will train him to become a fine secretary to replace you when you get sick or need a day off. Any objections?’’.
Even if Akira doesn’t understand why the commander wants him to do such a pointless task, he doesn’t object and briefly replies ‘‘Yes. I understand.’’. For now, he convinces himself that he should be grateful that Shiki didn’t kick him out of the office as he should have. Yet, without understanding why, he doesn’t like this decision.
After all, anyone who opposes or upsets the supreme ruler must be punished accordingly despite their status or connection. Or so the military secretary thinks to himself.
In the end, the commander looks at the other secretary, who is startled by his voice alone ‘‘Call the cleaner to my office, and then you are free for the rest of the day.’’.
Meanwhile, that fear and guilt in these gray eyes fade away and are replaced with the sparkle of hope. Lastly, the light-haired secretary energetically responds ‘‘Y-yes, sir!’’.
‘‘Do you know with whom you are talking? Show the proper respect, you fool!’’ Or so Akira speaks up when he turns his head and frowns.
However, the fellow secretary only silently bows before rushing through the door. Lastly, this couple is left alone.
‘‘How do such incompetent people are allowed to work here? What were you thinking, sir?…’’ The silver-haired secretary murmurs as he lowers his gaze and stares at his new disciple’s left mess.
Yet, the commander’s voice surprises him and makes to turn back ‘‘What are you saying?’’.
As Akira watches how Shiki gracefully stands up and walks close to him like a feline, he gives a questioning look ‘‘Sir?’’.
‘‘I ask you once again - what are you doing here? Haven’t I told you to wait until I return?’’ Shiki addresses his subordinate.
For a moment, Akira turns his head away. However, soon enough, he honestly replies without removing his eyes from the commander ‘‘I wanted to see you. But I knew you would be busy during the day. So, I waited until the afternoon break.’’. As he lowers his gaze, he adds in a slightly gloomy tone ‘‘But it seems that soon you won’t need me any longer.’’.
Suddenly, Akira widens his eyes as Shiki tightly hugs him and refuses to let him go. But for now, the military secretary lowers his shoulders and wraps his arms around his most important person. Lastly, he closes his eyes and enjoys how the commander ruffles his hair.
When the commander gently places his palm on his subordinate’s cheek, he softens his gaze and delightfully observes how innocently his secretary looks at him ‘‘You are really a dog. One that cannot be locked away and always find a way to his master.’’.
After the same hand slides down, Shiki holds Akira’s chin and with his thumb parts his lips and remarks ‘‘Why would I want to get rid of someone who is irreplaceable and valuable?’’. Lastly, he pulls his precious secretary into a deep kiss.
All the blue-eyed secretary can do is blissfully close his eyes, and without realizing it, he moves his hand behind the commander’s head and sinks his fingertips in his hair.
Of course, such a gesture sparkles the excitement in these crimson eyes. But for now, the dark-haired man chuckles in between catching the air.
After a long-lasting kissing, the commander with-draws his face and cannot help himself but adore his subordinate’s still blushing gaze. However, he is pleasantly surprised at how Akira holds his hand and places it on his chest around the heart area.
‘‘What is it with you?’’ Or so Shiki asks while he admires how the reserved secretary now moves his palm on his neck while staring with such an unsatisfied, amorous gaze.
However, instead of answering by using words, Akira places this palm on his cheek and rubs himself against the beloved hand.
Perhaps, this may help the commander to realize that he’ll do anything in his power to make Shiki look only at him. Lastly, the silver-haired secretary attempts to remove Shiki’s glove by using his teeth.
Of course, it’s something new to see how Akira wants to take the initiative for the first time. Yet, Shiki won’t allow his secretary to wrap him around his finger that easily.
After all, it won’t be that interesting if he grants his secretary’s wish that easily. That’s why he needs to remind his precious subordinate about needing to be more patient.
Suddenly, Akira lets out a sweet gasp as his bottom is groped by the commander.
As Shiki cracks a smile, he comments ‘‘Did you miss me that much? Or are you jealous? Either way, you need to wait until we come home. Then, make sure I’ll find you in the bedroom wearing only an unbuttoned shirt.’’.
After hearing such an order, the secretary can feel how the belly-piercing moves as his abs twitch. However, he remembers that the afternoon break is finished by this time. Suddenly, he places his palms on the commander’s chest and pushes him away ‘‘But what about your work, sir? You also haven’t even rested during the break!’’.
Yet, the supreme ruler gives a smug look ‘‘You worry too much. Tomorrow, you will help me finish it.’’.
‘‘Please, take it more seriously!’’ Or so Akira politely objects.
‘‘Then, who’s the fault for disturbing my work? You need to take responsibility for your actions and behavior today.’’ The commander backfires.
Even if the military secretary realizes it is pointless to argue with this stubborn man, he only nervously swallows saliva and prepares himself for whatever Shiki has planned for him tonight ‘‘I… I understand.’’.
In the end, the red-eyed man gives a satisfied smile and ruffles his subordinate’s hair.
