Yay! It's my first story in a while, sorry for the delay! I hope that I can continue to
receive constructive criticisms and reviews from all who read my (hard!) work!
Warnings: Eclipse OOC, yaoi, possible hentai, and no sequels.
Disclaimer: I own nothing having to do with Demon Diary except this story, unoriginal
as it is… I have originality problems, it would seem. This is a typical bath scenario that I
have just adapted for my own perverted purposes.
And just so whoever is reading this knows, I can't stand ketchup.
On with the story…"A demon lord should not be this… annoying!" thought Eclipse as Raenef jumped
around singing. The young demon lord skipped, danced, whistled, giggled delightfully,
smiled cutely, generally acted undemonlike, and sleeptalked about tomatoes. Or sang
about tomatoes, as the case was at the moment.
"Happy tomatoes!
Happy red tomatoes!
How many different kinds?
Plum tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes
Vine tomatoes
Beefsteak tom-
ECLIPSE!!!!!"
"Oh no! Where could Raenef be?" Eclipse teased. "All I see is a giant, tasty
looking tomato…"
"This isn't funny!" yelled a giant tomato. "Change me back!!"
"Why, I thought you liked tomatoes?"
"Well I don't like being one!" said the tomato.
'He is so cute when he's mad!" Eclipse thought, but he stopped joking. "Pay
attention to your studies, and I might teach you the counter-spell." Eclipse said as he
turned his back.
It was a few seconds later that the giant tomato, aka Raenef, learned that he was
fully circular by rolling over Eclipse. He continued to roll down a convenient hill
towards where Erutis and Chris were having a 'moment' (that is, an argument) at the
bottom. Luckily, they jumped out of the way, but the castle behind them didn't. A large
SPLAT was heard.
Eclipse recovered quickly and ran down the hill towards where Raenef lay. The
impact, for some reason, caused Raenef to revert back to his normal form, but he was
surrounded by what looked to Eclipse to be blood. 'Oh Gods, what have I done?'
thought Eclipse before he hurriedly picked up Raenef and teleported them both to
Raenef's chambers.
Chris stared at the pool. 'What is it?' he thought. An idea presented itself to
him. Chris dipped his finger into the red stuff, brought his finger to his mouth…
"Hey Erutis! Its ketchup!"
TO THE CHAMBERS:
Raenef hadn't woken up, and Eclipse was at a loss for what to do. He had already
brought his enormous intelligence to bear to discover that the blood was ketchup, and
his brain was tired. Not only that, the sight of Raenef all red and sticky (Ketchup is
sticky. Try it!) made him very uncomfortable. Him, Eclipse, 3rd ranked demon in
existence, was nauseated because his master was covered in what only looked like
blood. Oh dear.
Eclipse then, after much soul-searching to make sure he wasn't going to get
perverted about it (he was) because of course, it wouldn't give him any great pleasure to
see Raenef naked (it would) and because the water might revive him (obviously) and get
the darn ketchup off (but only after scrubbing), he decided:
TO GIVE RAENEF A BATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Insert scary music here)
So Eclipse picked up Raenef and started to carry him to the bathroom, trying not
to notice when Raenef's silky-soft hair brushed his arm and failing miserably. He arrived
at the bathroom and gently laid Raenef down on the bath mat, and proceeded to fill the
bathtub. This being a castle, and this being the master bathroom, the bathtub was more
of a small white marble swimming pool than anything, lit with candles that smelled softly
of currants and nutmeg, and filled with expensive soaps, bath oils, and fluffy towels.
After some confusion, Eclipse figured out which of the large golden faucets was the hot
water and turned it on. At a whim, he added some bubble bath he saw nearby.
Eclipse then had to turn to the next task: undressing Raenef. First, Eclipse let his
master's hair down from its usual ponytail, and noted in his gruff way that it looked like
spun silver and gold as it fell halfway down Raenef's back. "In fact," he thought, "his
hair is almost as long as mine!" At least the first part of the undressing of Raenef was
done with. Eclipse next relieved Raenef of his cape, then his tunic, then his belt, then his
undershirt…. 'How many layers does Master Raenef wear?' thought Eclipse as he
looked down at his own simple, if elegant, robe. Apparently, the answer to the servant's
query was: a lot. The swimming pool was almost half full when Eclipse finally freed
Raenef's upper body out of his many tomato-soaked wrappings. At that point, he
stopped for a moment to 'take a break'; that is, to admire Raenef. 'Remember,' said
Eclipse's brain, 'shoes, then socks, then leg wrappings, then-'
"I know what goes next!" snapped Eclipse. A second later, he was sorry that he
had gotten mad. It was only his brain, after all. "I mean… it's just…"
'No need to explain! I'm your brain, after all. I think I'll understand.' Eclipse
nodded. 'Oh yes, Eclipse? Your heart just leapt up into your throat to tell you
something.'
'Hi Eclipse!' said Eclipse's rather undernourished heart. 'Just thought of
something that might be useful to you at the moment!'
"And that would be….?" Asked a pointedly calm Eclipse.
'You're in love with Raenef! Whee! Ok, gotta go! Bye, Eclipse!' yelped his
heart, and with that, he disappeared, leaving Eclipse with a lurching feeling of nerves.
"You pick now to tell me?" groaned Eclipse, but his internal organs seemed quiet.
He was alone with Raenef, his…love. He noticed the bathtub was full, and he turned it
off. Eclipse was delaying, and knew it.
