A/N (From 2024-01-28): Okay!~
Boys and gals,
Before working on update chapter for one WIP which will also be a b-day present for one good friend, I wanted to update this one.
Yup, I just wanted some self-indulgent ShikiAki romance as a small treat.
So, it seems that our little Shiro may accidentally sparkle a thing or two between these two as well ^^
A-anyway,
As always,
Enjoy!~
-------------------------------

Another day passes.
After Shiro receives the permission, he enters Captain Akira’s office without knowing what to expect.
To his surprise, the preserved military secretary politely greets him and even offers to take a seat.
Without a second thought, the gray-eyed male nods.
When he picks the nearest chair, he brings it in front of Akira’s desk.
After Shiro sits, he straightens his back while keeping his clenched hands on his lap.
Meanwhile, Akira doesn’t remove his eyes from the supposed-to-be replacement.
There is simply something off about him he doesn’t like, but he cannot put his finger on it. The blue-eyed secretary thinks while narrowing his gaze.
What does the commander think of picking an inexperienced fellow who is not suitable even for the most basic manual labor? The military secretary wonders.
It may have been nothing more than another decision by Shiki, which he made on a whim. It can’t be otherwise, right? The blue-eyed male ponders after narrowing his gaze and almost making his colleague jump from his seat.
Besides, he knows the commander better than anyone else. So, there is no way he would pick a secretary based on his looks or other unrelated traits. Akira thinks to himself while hiding the rising unexplained irritation towards Shiro behind his poker face.
Yet Akira’s suspicious intuition tells him that something is not right about his new colleague.
Despite that, he has to overcome these irrational emotions and aim for no less than perfection and be praised by Shiki.
More importantly, it would be wrong to judge anyone without knowing them well, or at least their background and true intentions. Or so the preserved military secretary convinces himself.
Suddenly, his further thoughts are interrupted by Shiro’s slightly shaky voice. “Excuse me. Is there anything wrong, sir?”
At that moment, Akira only closes his eyes and takes a breath.
After he opens his eyes, he answers. “Do not pay attention to it. It’s nothing important.”
Nevertheless, the blue-eyed male let his curiosity win.
After a brief pause, Akira opens his mouth to ask. “In any case… Before we begin, I need to ask you something. What exactly were your duties when I was gone?”
At first, Shiro is confused, but a second later, he confesses. “Um, the commander asked me to do is to keep his office clean, prepare him tea, and stay quiet during the meetings. That’s all.”
After hearing such an answer, the blue-eyed secretary covers his mouth and turns his head away. He even clenches his gloved palm while he slightly frowns and silently exhales.
It is upsetting to hear that the commander is burying himself in more work, if not doing all the work alone, with no one taking care of him.
On the other hand, Akira doesn’t want to allow himself to vent his frustrations on some newbie and disappoint Shiki by recklessly lashing out and not handling it like a professional.
Yet, Shiro’s concerned voice makes him widen his eyes and turn back. “Did… Did I say anything wrong, sir? I… I didn’t mean to upset you.”
Soon, Akira straightens his back and sits back while keeping his serious face. “Either way, do you know why did I called you?”
The younger secretary only shakes his head.
When Akira places his entwined palms on his desk, he explains. “Today, we will start with the basics and I will introduce you to your future routine.”
After he stands up gracefully and takes the papers in his hand, he leaves the desk side and adds. “For today, you will be only foreshadowing me. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me. Is that clear?”
“Y-yes. I understand!” Shiro responds immediately.
It might not be a simple task to train someone like him.
On the other hand, there must be something about this young man if the commander decides to keep him alive. Therefore, it shouldn’t be even a word impossible for him.
Otherwise, the commander’s hair may become gray hair instantly, and his well-being, if not his life, will be threatened. Akira thinks to himself while he keeps the documents close to him.
But for now, he decides to take this as Shiki’s thrown challenge that he cannot lose.
Therefore, he is determined to take this unskilled young man under his wing and train him to become a flawless secretary who will serve the most powerful man in the country.
In the end, Akira prompts the younger secretary to follow him.
After leaving the office, Shiro’s intense training begins.
Unfortunately, the very little that Shiro knows is that Shiki’s personal secretary will not go easy on him.
As time passed, Shiro carefully observed and followed his mentor without leaving his side.
It is impressive to see how Captain Akira, despite his serious demeanor, respects and cares for his squad. Thus, the younger secretary slowly starts admiring him.
More so, his men are not indifferent toward him and follow his every command without questioning him or fear.
Despite Akira’s strict disciplinary methods and not wasting time, even on unnecessary words or actions, his squad trusts him enough to ask him anything and receive brief but precise answers or advice.
Will this be a part of his duties someday?
After all, it’s a challenging task to not only manage that many people but also make them listen to you.
Besides, it might be impossible to handle it alone for someone like Shiro. Not just when he feels that many eyes on him, staring at him like someone who doesn’t belong here or is as confused as he is.
More importantly, even by Akira’s side, he feels nervous that he wants to hide behind his back. So, how will he manage without the military secretary’s guidance? Shiro wonders.
But for now, Akira prompts him to move to further tasks.
Some time has passed. Finally, it is almost time to serve the afternoon tea and snacks.
That is the most basic thing that he can do well despite yesterday’s incident. Shiro assumes as they both head toward the kitchen.
Even in this case, Akira proves him wrong again.
The military secretary not only demonstrates but also explains the proper techniques for brewing coffee or preparing tea.
As Akira places the teapot with a couple of cups and snacks on the silver tray, he is interrupted by Shiro. “Um, wouldn’t be much simpler just to boil the kettle and to wait for a few minutes? It would save some time and it may just taste the same.”
“Wouldn’t be much easier for you to drink from the puddle? The water is water, right?” the military secretary turns his head while balancing the tray.
A second later, he adds in a slightly irritated voice. “Hopefully, you haven’t prepared tea or coffee in such a primitive way and served it to the commander, did you?”
Meanwhile, Shiro only shrugs while avoiding facing his mentor without being sure what to say.
Just before opening the door and leaving, Akira nags at him while trying to remain patient. “I have no interest in how you prepare for yourself. You can do it like you wish.”
After leaving the kitchen and heading towards Shiki’s office, the military secretary lectures his disciple. “However, you must keep in mind that you are serving for the most important person in the country. That’s why you have to aim for perfection and put all your heart into any given task and believe what you’re doing.”
Within each of Akira’s spoken words, his given speech becomes more passionate.
But for now, he closes his blue eyes and respires.
After a brief pause, Shiki’s loyal subordinate continues. “Otherwise, you will only disappoint yourself and the commander by your half-baked work. More importantly, if you prioritize the commander’s well-being and his satisfaction, and respect him, he will notice your effort and you won’t be unrewarded.”
As he finishes his speech, he turns to Shiro’s side. “Hey, are you even listening to me?”
“Y-yes…” the gray-eyed male immediately responds.
The very little that they knew was that Shiki was listening to them just around the corner and delighted not just by Akira’s words but at how he expressed them.
Nevertheless, instead of approaching his personal secretary, he heads to his office and waits for him to show up.
Besides, he will spoil his precious prized possession with attention in private as soon as he dismisses the unwanted company for today. The military tyrant reminds himself while keeping a smug look on his face.
Soon enough, a couple of secretaries reach Shiki’s office.
When Akira straightens his back, he knocks on the door. “Sorry for intruding. I’ve brought you tea, sir. May I come in, please?”
After receiving the permission, he opens the door without making the content of the entire tray shake.
A second later, Shiro understands he should follow his mentor even if he prefers to stay away from the commander, sensing that his presence might be unnecessary.
After Akira closes the door behind them, Shiki’s question makes him lift his head. “What is he doing here?”
“I beg your pardon, sir. Starting today, Shiro is foreshadowing me before he is ready to work,” the military secretary explains.
When he gets closer and places the tray with the afternoon treats on the commander’s desk, he adds while keeping a poker face. “That’s why I need also to show him how to properly to serve and help you to relax, sir.”
While the silver-haired secretary fills his cup, Shiki closes his eyes and raises his palm. “There is no need for that.”
Akira only lifts his eyes. After he places the teapot on the tray, he listens to the commander. “You are back on duties, correct? So, I don’t need anyone else to do it while you are here.”
Hearing these words surprises the preserved secretary that he momentarily loses the gift of speech.
Meanwhile, Shiro leans his back against the closed door and carefully observes.
Yet, he nearly gets startled when Shiki looks in his direction and addresses him. “You are still here? You can leave now.”
Thus, the gray-eyed young man responds. “Yes, sir!”
Lastly, before leaving, he nods.
The military tyrant is finally able to enjoy the company of his loyal subordinate without any disturbances.
But for now, Shiki addresses him. “And you - are you going to stand like this? Sit down.”
Of course, Akira doesn’t object.
After he brings the chair, he makes himself comfortable.
Before he takes a sip of tea, he comments. “You look so happy today, sir. Did anything good happen?”
While the commander’s crimson eyes sparkle with excitement, he cracks a smile. “Is there anything wrong with having my secretary by on my side again?”
Such an answer makes Akira turn his head and hide his blushing gaze.
However, feeling how Shiki places his palm on his hand and strokes it making the secretary face him.
It seems that the commander even goes further.
After Shiki masterly slides his fingers under his subordinate’s glove and gently runs his fingertips against his skin.
At that moment, Akira realizes he has become this large feline toy again.
More importantly, his poker face cracks, and lets out a lovely sigh while Shiki teases him like this.
For now, the military secretary shakily closes his eyes and speaks up in a softer tone. “Sir, it’s not a time or place for it…”
Unfortunately, his words don’t reach the commander.
Soon, Shiki leans closer and brings his subordinate closer by holding him by his tie.
After such a gesture, Akira opens his big blue eyes, and his heart skips a beat upon noticing how Shiki fixates his strangely sleepy eyes on him.
“Looks like I have to remind you of your place.” The supreme ruler comments as he narrows his gaze.
Just before he pulls his adored secretary into a kiss…
Suddenly, the dark-haired male widens his eyes as Akira brings a pile of papers to separate them.
As the silver-haired male lowers, he lowers his gaze. “I’ll ask you again - did anything happen? Or… ”
After a brief pause, he widens his eyes upon the sudden realization. “Are you upset that I work slower than I supposed to?”
When he stares at Shiki with guilty eyes, he adds. “If that is a case, I’m terribly sorry. And I understand that teaching someone while I have my own duties is not an excuse.”
Lastly, the preserved secretary confesses. “However, I have to make sure that if anything happens that I won’t be able to stay by your side, at least you will have an excellent replacement that you can be proud of. And, of course, if you are in doubt or wish to see my training methods, you can check on me whenever you wish.”
‘How adorable…’ Shiki wonders without removing his crimson eyes from his prize-possession.
After Shiki stands up, he approaches his subordinate gracefully, like a feline.
Meanwhile, Akira only gives him a questioning look. “Sir?”
Instead of saying anything, the ebony-haired male takes his partner’s wrist and pulls him closer.
For now, the military secretary has no choice but to stand up while Shiki wraps his arm around his waist.
Even when Shiki releases his wrist, Akira keeps his thrown arm on his shoulder.
As the commander gently tilts his subordinate’s chin, he stares at him with admiring eyes. “How can you always never fail to amaze me?”
At that moment, the silver-haired male does his best to keep a straight face.
Unfortunately, it’s not a simple task. Not when Akira feels how Shiki has wrapped his invisible panther tail around his thigh.
For now, he impatiently waits for his partner’s next move.
To his surprise, nothing happens.
A few moments later, the commander removes his hand from his face and lifts his cap.
Upon Shiki lands his palm on Akira’s head, he ruffles his hair.
Lastly, he puts on his subordinate’s cap back. “What is it with you? That’s all for now.”
When Akira notices that feline-like smirk, he understands it may not end well.
Thus, Shiki’s hand slides down to his bottom and massages it.
Despite that, he listens to the commander’s sweet words. “... Unless you want something specific. Then you have to state it clearly.”
Instead of giving to this man’s provocation, Akira places his palms on Shiki’s chest and replies. “The break may end soon and you won’t rest again, sir.”
After gently pushing him away, the silver-haired male adds while keeping his demanding eyes on Shiki. “More importantly, you haven’t reviewed the documents that I sent you earlier yet. So, please take it more seriously… It’s all I ask for.”
“Duties before the pleasure, as always...” the dark-haired male murmurs while crossing his arms and holding his chin.
When Akira steps back, Shiki takes a step forward and addresses him. “What if one of your duties would be satisfying your master?”
After a brief pause, he smirks and adds in a suggestive tone. “Will you train your colleague for that as well?”
Meanwhile, Akira lowers his gaze and turns his head while biting his lower lip.
Even the thought of the commander embracing anyone else than him alone hurt him like a knife. Or so the military secretary keeps in his mind while clenching his chest.
After he closes his blue, gloomy eyes, he exhales and lowers his shoulders. “Then do whatever you wish or just kill me here. This is the only order that I will disobey… Even if that is very selfish of me.”
Yet, when he feels how the beloved hand strokes his cheek, he widens his eyes.
When their eyes meet, Akira cannot help himself but feel how the heat rushes to his cheeks.
Shiki softens his gaze and comments in a nearly purring voice. “How are you able to spit such adorable words with this mouth?… Hmph. As if anyone else will satisfy me or is worth standing by my side. Never forget - I’m not interested in not my belongings.”
After he sighs, he continues in a more formal tone. “However, if you insist so badly, you will assist me for the rest of the day. Understand?”
Hearing this answer pushes the heavy boulder from Akira’s chest.
Lastly, the blue-eyed secretary closes his eyes and nods. “Yes.”
Unfortunately, very little does the military secretary realize his disciple may display the results of his hard work sooner than he expects.
