Chapter 1: This Isn't What I Would Do

It was past 3 in the morning in this quiet night in spring, and as usual, the blue-haired boy is the only one in Violet Mansion to stay up this late.

Sitting at his desk and looking at his homework, Hayate made a long sigh while working at his last problem. 'Finally, I may be able to sleep a bit after this,' he thought.

After a few missteps and recalculations, Hayate finishes his last problem with a smile. 'If it wasn't for her help, I would have never finished!' he thought, remembering how the student council president across the hall was helping him a few hours earlier before she went to her room. 'Haha, I can't wait to show her this after it gets graded! Maybe she'll stop getting angry at me...' he thought proudly as he glances at his alarm clock.

It was now past 4.

"Eh?! It took me that long to finish this problem?!" he asked himself loudly while panicking. This was no time for a butler to nap. Hayate sighed at the thought of his third day with no sleep. "Either way, I must get ready..." he said to himself. He stood up from his chair and began changing into his butler attire.

'What the..? What was that noise..?' she thought as she slowly opened her eyes. 'It sounded like someone's voice...'

The pink-haired girl looked at her closet to see if her little blond roommate was the one making that noise. Through the darkness and blurriness from her tired eyes, she could not see any movements coming from the closet and assumed that Alice must have talked in her sleep. Hinagiku shrugged and tried falling asleep again, but failed as she gradually became fully awake in a couple of minutes.

She looked at her clock. It was past 4 in the morning. 'I might as well get a small breakfast before running,' she thought as she quietly got up and exited her room.

Hinagiku walked through the dark hallway and noticed a small light coming from the door of Hayate's room.

'Up early again?' she thought, 'Now that I think of it, that noise sounded a lot like his voice...'

Now standing in front of his door, Hinagiku gently knocks on Hayate's door.

There was no answer.

"Hayate-kun? Are you in there?" she asked through the closed door. Again, no answer. Something was wrong.

'Should I go in...? What if he's not there?' she asked herself. 'What if he's naked...?' she blushed hard at the thought of coming in to see Hayate shirtless.

She brushed off that imagination, shaking her head vigorously. Without another thought, she slowly opens the door and pokes her head out of the door. There is Hayate, in his butler uniform, sleeping on top of his futon flat on his back.

'Phew...' she thought, relieved that he is not naked. Hinagiku walks into his room, noticing his pile of homework on his desk. She picked up one of the papers, the same one that Hayate finished his last problem on. 'That last one must have been really hard, but he got it right...' she thought, thoroughly analyzing through his work. She turned her head towards the sleeping butler.

"You must have worked all night on this. You deserve to sleep." she whispered with a smile at him. She quietly walks over to his lamp and turns it off, almost completely darkening the room. She then notices the moon outside of his window shine all over his face. Hinagiku continues to stare at him, feeling like she could barely move from her place. After what seemed like a minute of staring, she blushes at the thought of what she wants to do next.

'He might wake up...' she thought to herself. But without hesitation, Hinagiku stealthily laid down next to him, her entire body facing close to Hayate's, with her eyes staring at his sleeping face. Her arm slowly rose towards his face. 'What am I doing..' she thought as she began brushing her hand through Hayate's hair.

She begins feeling just how soft his hair is. She then notices his long blue hair laying all over his eyes and how his mouth is partly open. As she continues to stroke his hair, she blushes harder as she notices up close to how really handsome Hayate is, despite his feminine look at times.

Hinagiku smiled. This is the person she loves dearly. No matter what would happen to her, he would always come to her rescue just by her calling his name. He would always be there for her, even though she knows it is because of his devotion as a Sanzenin butler. But that didn't matter, his pure kindness got the best of her.

Feeling relaxed and happy by his side, she just couldn't help but keep on playing with his hair. She then slowly slid down her hand down to his face. "I hope that one day, you will be the one stroking through my hair while I'm asleep..." she whispered to his ear before she slowly unconsciously closed her eyes and fell asleep next to him.

It was now 6 in the morning and the sun is halfway rose up. The maid of the house yawned as she walked out of her room before noticing one of the doors in the hallway open. Having a tendency to close all doors in the mansion, Maria walked towards that door. Out of slight curiosity, she quickly poked her head out to see a sleeping butler and a sleeping pink-haired girl cuddling him before quietly closing the door.

Maria then walked towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast. As she pulled out her apron, her eyes suddenly widened up. She ran back towards that room to see if her eyes were wrong. She quietly opened the door to see the teenage boy sleeping next to a teenage girl cuddling him.

A teenage boy sleeping next to a teenage girl.

A teenage boy and a teenage girl. Sleeping. Together.

Maria covered her mouth before she started muffling through her hands. 'This is unacceptable!' she thought to herself furiously, 'How can they do this at this age!' She blushed as she thought of what they might have done the night before. 'Did they even do it while he wore that butler uniform? Don't tell me Hinagiku-san has that kind of fetish...' Maria squirmed as she exaggerated her dirty thoughts even more.

As she continued to stare at the sleeping couple, she notices that Hinagiku is laying on the floor and not the futon. 'Could it be that Hinagiku-san came into his room while he fell asleep?' she thought. 'That Hayate-kun must be really popular with the girls. But with Hinagiku-san of all girls? That is quite a surpise...'

Her dirty thoughts vanished. She smiled as she could see how innocent the couple looks now. Suddenly, a light bulb popped over her head.

She quickly went into her room and came back with her smartphone.

"This will be good..." she said with an evil-looking grin as she opened her camera app.
