The moon shone brightly in the sky, appearing to be nothing more than a beautiful orb that penetrated the solemn darkness that had nestled in. The night was silent as the two shadowy silhouettes studied each other, unaware of the others intentions.
"What is it that you want? I have a Ball to host."
Sebastian studied the fellow demon with mild interest. He had no time to engage in yet another duel with the dark haired demon. He had a schedule to uphold.
"Well aren't you hostile?" Claude teased, a slight smirk creeping onto his face. "As I said before, I merely wish to speak with you."
"On what terms?"
Claude shrugged slightly, the small smirk that had just cradled his face was now gone.
"Do you hate me?"
Sebastian was taken aback slightly by the question. Why did he care if the raven butler felt disdain towards him or not?
"You pulled me away from my duties to ask that frivolous question?"
A small frown clouded Sebastian's face and he sighed warily.
Claude remained silent.
"I have no time for such an idiotic conversation."
Sebastian turned to return to the manor and his master when suddenly he felt an iron tight grip clamp onto his wrist and yanked him backwards, his back slamming with a crack against a tree. Before he could even grasp what had just occurred Claude appeared in front of him, pinning him against the tree.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Sebastian growled, glaring daggers up at the spider demon.
"You never answered my question."
Sebastian narrowed his eyes angrily at him.
"Why care you what I think?"
He was met with yet another shrug.
"Indeed, I do think ill of you, though I can't help but question why you care."
Claude's eyes fell slightly, though his grip on him didn't falter in the slightest.
"Whyever is that so?"
"Why is that?" Sebastian snickered irritably. "You attempted to steal my young master's soul from me. How could I hold one in high esteem after committing such a foul act?"
Claude's malicious smirk returned to his face and he leaned closer to Sebastian, his lips just inches from his.
"Has it never dawned on you that perhaps I had a different reason for committing such a heinous act?"
Sebastian raised his eyebrow.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Claude chuckled slightly to himself.
"Come now, Sebastian. You're supposed to be smart. Figure it out."
Sebastian opened his mouth to respond but no words were uttered before Claude's lips captured his in a passionate kiss.
Sebastian struggled slightly against his captor, but Claude paid no heed. His eyes and lips merely assaulted his again with hunger and lust and pulled Sebastian even closer to him.
After several moments Claude finally pulled away, leaving them both panting. Claude eyed the Raven butler with great hunger glinting in his gold eyes.
Sebastian returned the stare, although his was clouded with confusion and slight anger.
Claude wrapped his arms around the other's waist and pulled him up against him.
"Do not deny your love for me. Your words say one thing but your lips and body say another."
Sebastian growled.
"I can deny what does not exist."
Claude snickered. "That is a lie, Michealis and we both know it."
Sebastian frowned, a slight blush creeping onto his face.
"Release me at once Claude."
Claude smiled devilishly and nuzzled his neck.
"Whyever would I do that when I finally have you?"
Sebastian stood there for a moment, his heart beating as he gazed at Claude. Why was it that this man's presence beside him infuriated him, yet thrilled him at the same time? This man was the enemy, the man that tried to steal what was rightfully his. He hated him…. Didn't he?
Sebastian smiled coyly at him and scoffed.
"Finally, eh? You mean to tell me that you wished only for my attention all along? I'm afraid that I find that a bit hard to believe."
Claude returned the coy smile and spoke in a seductively sweet voice.
"Then allow me to persuade you."
Claude captured Sebastian's lips once more and this time Sebastian did resist. If Claude wished to play such a game then he would graciously comply, after all there was nothing a demon desired most, other than souls, then Pleasure. There was just something about his touch that excited him. It made him crave this demon, made him crave him in a sexual manner. It was a feeling that Sebastian was unacquainted with.
Sebastian moaned happily as the other demon's lips trailed down his neck and settled at its base, nipping slightly at his collarbone.
"Do you believe my words now, Michealis?"
Sebastian wrapped his arms flirtatiously around Claude's neck and smirked.
"Perhaps, though a bit more persuasion wouldn't hurt."
Claude returned the malicious smirk.
"I'll be happy to. I've been told that I can be quite persuasive…."
