students got to see the popular idol-sempai ...

The silver-haired man just stomped past Wakaba. "The guy is gettingfor onceextenuating circumstances because he's having a hard time. Should he be back here tomorrow, he'll be kicked back to the Mond house!" He said in passing, and in his usual tone of voice.

So for once not that night. Kiryu-kun seemed to know something she didn't. Maybe it was better that way.

"... and that would be the material that you and my sister will go through tomorrow, Aidou," Kaname-sama finished while he stroked said sister, Yuki, through the long, brown hair.

The blonde put on a smile that no water could tarnish. “Of course, Kaname-sama.” With a bow, he left the Pureblood Lord's office.

He was not allowed to shirk his duties as a nobleman. Now that he was the head of the Aidou family, more than ever.After all, he was not allowed to socialize his own family. He was still Kuran Yuki's tutor. And as long as her brother didn't rub off too much on her, that wouldn't change either. Outwardly, Kaname-sama himself didn't seem to have noticed anything of Aidou's rethinking. Maybe the blonde was wrong too. But it didn't matter. He would use his intelligence, so valued by everyone. He would wait. Waiting until his time had come, whether to step in or to break out didn't matter. But he would make Kaname-sama believe that nothing had changed and eventually do better.

A lofty goal, but Aidou was confident he could achieve it. And should he fail, he still knew at least one person who was sure to be overflowing with ideas about how to slow down a pureblood who might be losing his mind. It would end up having to prevent some of the ideas himself, but it was comforting to know that under no circumstances would he be left alone.
