It was a quiet autumn night, the leaves on the trees had already turned gold and were falling silently to the ground. Giulio was in his room, with a book in his hands, having already changed out of his suit into loose-fitting clothes and let his hair down. He had already performed the procedure to alleviate your Quirk, so now he could relax in peace.

Suddenly there was a soft knock on the door, after which it opened a crack and your head appeared in the crack.

"Giulio..?" you called softly.

The butler raised his greenish-blue eyes to yours and put the book aside, gesturing for you to come in.

"Is something wrong, my lady?" he asked softly, so as not to disturb the peace of this wonderful night. You walked into the room, closing the door behind you, and hugged yourself by the shoulders, looking somewhere to the side.

"I just can't sleep... Can I stay with you for a while?"

Giulio was silent for a split second, then smiled slightly and nodded.

"Of course, mia cara." He patted an empty seat on a small sofa, inviting you to sit next to him.

You were 13, he was 19, and he wasn't just a butler to you, you saw him as an older brother because of the way he took care of you. Even though you spent so much time together, sometimes it still happened that even after neutralizing your Quirk, you would come to his room and you would either just talk or he would read aloud to you. Wonderful evenings.
