Chapter One: The Night
Our tale begins one night long ago at the Shinigami Dispatch Society. William T. Spears along with his other Shinigami co-workers had just finished their duties for the night and Ronald Knox suggested that they all go out to party in the human world for their job well done.
At the Open Bar, the party was set into full swing and most of the Shinigami were drunk beyond belief. William was not however, he was just tipsy but still alert because as Boss he felt it was his duty to make sure no one, even Grell Sutcliff, harmed themselves too bad at this party.
Suddenly the Bar's door opened and a mysterious person wearing a black trench coat and top hat walked in. William had an odd feeling about the person and that feeling grew stronger as the person walked straight to him but stopped a couple seats short and sat down at the bar. The mysterious person then took off his hat and coat and it turned out to be Sebastian Michaelis, a demon William was not too fond of. Sebastian ordered a drink and just sat there keeping to himself.
William's posed stiffen knowing that the demon was in the same room as him, it displeased him very much, but he did not let it show because he had no right to drive the demon away because after all they were in a public place in the human world and anyone could be where they wanted to be. William decided to ignore Sebastian and focus more into the party his co-workers were throwing.
The rest of the night would have gone just fine for William had Sebastian not asked him that one question.
"So, how's life in the Shinigami Realm?"
William's ears perked up and he looked back at Sebastian giving him a small glare.
"It's none of your business Demon. Now leave me alone." William's gazed turned back to the party just in time to see Ronald Knox get slapped in the face for the third time that evening. William sighed deeply and adjusted his glasses.
"Come on, tell me. After hearing you sigh like that there has to something bothering you. Come have a drink with me, and relax." Sebastian lifted his own glass and motioned for William to sit next to him.
William does not understand what caused him to take up Sebastian's offer, perhaps it was the drinks he already had consumed throughout the night that were blurring his sense of judgment, but nevertheless William accepted and sat down next to Sebastian.
William looked at Sebastian with his most serious expression. "Now look here demon, just one drink then you leave me alone, understood?"
Sebastian gave William his most charming grin and nodded. "Sure, sure whatever you say." He then looked at the bartender and motioned for another drink for himself and William.
Sebastian asked William again "So, how is life in the Shinigami Realm?" just as the drinks arrived.
"Well..." William began.
Eight shots later and William was practically pouring out his life story to Sebastian, but by now his lines were sounding nothing more than gribbles and slurs and an idiotic expression on his face, glasses about to fall off. Sebastian was not faring any better, he too was drunk beyond belief and laughing his head off looking at William.
William continued to tell his tale, "And then the idiot tells me that he didn't mean to lose the soul quotas for the entire month! That-that he had," takes a drink, "Just misplaced it! Can you believe it?" William awkwardly stood up from his chair and looked at Sebastian. "Has that ever happen to you?" he said with a strong slur in his speech.
Sebastian gave a small chuckle, "N-no, but I hear th-that it's never a good thing."
"I know right!" William sits back down slamming his shot glass on the bar table.
Sebastian looks at William, "I k-know wh-what you need…" motions for the bartender and tells the bartender what drink to serve them next. The bartender nods and gets the drink and pours a shot for both Sebastian and William.
"Here drink this; it will calm you down greatly."
William looks at the clear liquid in the glass, "W-what is it?"
"Just drink it, trust me." Sebastian handed William his glass and took his own.
"Okay, if you say so." And both Shinigami and Demon gulf down the drink.
After a minute passes it would seem as if William is beginning to regain some of his senses and is calming down. He then looks at Sebastian.
"Hey want to take a walk outside?"
Sebastian shrugs, "Sure why not? I think we are entitled to some cool night air. Let's go."
Without taking another look behind him at the Shinigami party still going on, William left the bar with Sebastian and unto the late London night.
Once outside William was hit hard the cold night air, and in his current state caused him to lose his footing and almost fall. However, Sebastian caught William in time and helped him back up.
William was embarrassed, "Um…thank you, but really that was not necessary I can handle it myself." He said while adjusting his glasses.
Sebastian gave a small smile, "Sure, whatever you say." So Sebastian let William go.
As the night went on the two continued their conversation from the bar, until suddenly William was hit with a spell of dizziness. William lost his footing and this time did lean on Sebastian for support.
William put his hand to his forehead. "Ugh…I feel a major headache coming on…I need to rest."
Sebastian spoke, "Well my apartment is not too far from here, you can take a rest there. Think you will be able to make it?" William nodded the pain in his head too great to speak.
Moments later the two arrived at Sebastian's apartment, and the first thought that went through William's head was, Why does a demon like him have an apartment? It's unheard of.
Once in the apartment Sebastian motioned for William to sit down wherever he liked while Sebastian made the tea to calm William's head down.
William sat and minutes later Sebastian was in front of him holding a teacup. William stood up and thanked him for the tea. Just as he finished taking his first sip William dropped the teacup. Sebastian stared at William in surprised but was about to head back into the kitchen to bring out the broom and pan when suddenly William grabbed him and pulled Sebastian's face close to his.
William had no control over what he was doing, it was if his body was moving on its own accord, and somehow William did not mind at the moment. All he knew was that the odd feeling he had when Sebastian first walked into the bar was back and grew stronger by tenfold. William held Sebastian's face close afraid of what he was going to do next. In all honestly William felt as if wanted to do this for a long time but never had the courage to because of the differences that lay between them. It was unheard of for a Shinigami and a Demon to have any interaction between them, and personally in the back of his mind William was already blaming the alcohol consumed throughout the night.
Sebastian was shocked, he could not believe that William T. Spears was looking at him as if he wanted to eat the demon, oddly enough Sebastian didn't mind, if fact he wanted it. He had been attracted to the other Shinigami for some time now and having the other Shinigami so close to him seemed like a delusion. What William did next surprised him.
William even surprised himself for what he did next, he kissed Sebastian. It was a chaste kiss but with very strong feelings behind it. He pulled back and shifted his eyes away from Sebastian.
Sebastian on the other hand was left wanting more. And he was going to get what he wanted no matter what. Sebastian pulled William's face back to his and titled his chin to deepen the next kiss and the one after that. Soon enough both were fighting for dominance as Sebastian led them into the bedroom. As the door closed the rest of the night was lived in bliss.
The following morning…
William woke up with a massive headache, and he had no recollection of what happened the night before. He sat up on his bed, or what he thought was his bed, and looked for his glasses. When he found his glasses and put them on the first thing he realized was that he was not in his apartment also that his clothes were missing.
Then William heard a soft gurgle in the room he was in, in fact the sound was coming next to him, he turned. What he saw left him in shock that his mind refused to comprehend what was going on at the moment. What lay next to him was a baby who seemed to be curled up to another figure in this bed. William's face turned pale when he realized who that other form was. William was lying next to a naked Sebastian Michaelis and a baby, at this point his mind refused to function.
Just what the hell happened last night? Who does this baby belong to!
Those were just some of thoughts running through William's head. Suddenly Sebastian began to stir from his slumber.
Well now I hope to get some answers… William thought as he got up from the bed and began to look for his clothes.
Sebastian was waking up with the oddest feeling in his gut. When he opened his eyes he shut them back just as fast, a splitting headache attacking his mind.
Ugh…what did I do last night? Doesn't matter I'm staying in bed…
Sebastian did not notice he said that last part out loud.
"Oh no you are not, Sebastian Michaelis! Wake up this instant!"
What? That sounded like…William… Sebastian opened his eyes once more and once his eyes adjusted to the light of the room did he see William T. Spears, wearing only pants and holding a white shirt, looking down at him with the most threatening glare he had seen to date.
"What's going on?" Sebastian rubbed his head, the headache still present.
"You tell me Sebastian. And tell me why is there a child lying next to you."
"A child?" Sure enough, Sebastian looked down and lying next to him was a baby and Sebastian immediately knew what had happened to him the night before. Sebastian smiled and picked up the babe who giggled in his arms.
William was running out of patience. "Sebastian, I will not ask you again. Why is there a child next to you?" Though in the back of his mind William already knew the reason, he was just dreading the fact that Sebastian was going to confirm it.
Sebastian could not stop smiling. "This is our child William…"
William just stood there not moving. Then reality hit him. Hard.
"What a child? My child? That cannot be possible! The laws of nature make it so that is not possible. You are lying." William then turned his back to Sebastian and the child he refused to acknowledge was even there.
William asked another question as he put on his white shirt on that he could not believe he was asking, "Well…if what you say is true, which it is not, how did this child come to be?"
Sebastian lifted the child in the air, overjoyed.
"Well after our night of passionate lovemaking I can only assume that his adorable little spirit came out of you and nestled in between us. It sometimes how us demons procreate."
William was baffled; the explanation Sebastian gave made no sense at all. William also refused to believe that this child was made out of love; all he knew was that William despised the demon now more than usual.
William now fully dressed began walking out of the room.
"Whatever I do not care, I do not care about you, I do not care about that child because it is not mine and it NEVER will be."
"Can you at least give your child a name? He looks so much like you, see?" Sebastian asked even though he already knew the answer.
William turned and glared at Sebastian. "I will not name that child because that child does not exist to me, last night never happen and you will never speak of it. Now goodbye Sebastian Michaelis." And William slams the door.
Hearing the door slam, the child begins to cry. Sebastian goes onto comfort his child a bit dishearten.
"Well, it does not matter." Sebastian looked at his child deep in the eyes. "I'm here for you and always will be no matter what, don't you forget it."
Then he gave his son a name.
"Claude Faustus."
