Welcome back! Sebastian and Claude will share the POV in this chapter, to give you an inside of how they both feel.
Sebastian's POV
It was late in the night before we returned to the Trancy Estate. Claude hadn't said a word or even looked in my direction, since the ferris wheel. Being the kind man that I am, I left him alone with his thoughts. He looked absolutely wrecked on the inside. My plan was already succeeding. I could see the gears turning in his head. Like I told him, he would come to think only of me. That kiss really shook him up inside. He is slightly weaker than I thought, to think a small kiss would turn his insides into mush. As we got out of the carriage, and Alois and Ciel said their goodbyes, I looked at Claude. His eyes were on the ground, as he stood behind Alois.
I had really rocked his little pristine world. I couldn't be more pleased. Although, I won't underestimate Claude, he maybe distracted now, but knowing Claude it won't last. As the night progresses he will regain himself and try to retaliate. But seeing as Claude is an imbecile, I'm already five steps ahead of him. This really has done wonders for my boredom, Claude is a wonderful plaything. Although, I'm going to have to teach him to kiss a tad bit better. You would have thought he was gasping for air.
I glanced at Claude once more, before I got back into our carriage. He continued to look down, but he could feel my eyes on him. He shifted uncomfortably. I smiled and got into the carriage with my master.
"Did you enjoy your day, Young master?" I asked.
"It was fine. Alois was slightly less annoying than usual." Ciel answered, crossing his legs. He would never admit that he actually had fun.
"I'm glad, sir." I said.
"Sebastian…" My master called out to me.
"Yes, sir?" I answered, curious as to what he wanted.
"What did you do to Claude, he was acting very odd today." Ciel said. I was impressed once again, by my master's perceptiveness.
I contemplated telling my master my plan, unsure of how he would react. On one hand he could support the idea and be curious as to what would happen. On the other hand, he could be furious that I was fraternizing with the enemy. Even if it was only for my enjoyment. I'm really enjoying my new toy, so I would hate to have my master take it away. Although, it is in my contract to never lie to my master, so I will have to do this carefully.
"We've set up a little wager, between the two of us." I said
"What are you wagering on?" Ciel asked, raising a brow.
"Just a bit of mental warfare. Who can make the other submit to the victor's will, so far I believe I'm winning." I said with a slight smile.
~Claude's POV~
Alois was exhausted from the day. I tried to persuade him to take a bath, even though that would be hell for me. He refused and simply collapsed on his bed. I let him be, and got a status report from the other servants. Hannah informed me that nothing was out of place and nothing unusual happened. The triplets had taken care of all the household chores, and had retired for the night.
"Very good, retire to your room at once." I instructed Hannah.
"Yes, sir." Hannah bowed.
I began to walk to my room.
"Sir?" Hannah called out to me.
I turned around slightly annoyed, my day was already torture, why was Hannah prolonging it.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Are you alright, sir? You seem troubled." Hannah asked me, avoiding eye contact.
"Don't be foolish, I'm fine. Go to your room, now." I said, firmly.
"Yes, sir. Forgive me." Hannah said, she turned and headed toward her room.
I headed quickly to my room. I shut the door and removed my coat, and sat down on my bed. My head was pounding, I removed my glasses. My mind kept returning back to Sebastian, over and over again. He seemed to be very adamant, that he wanted me. Although, I refused to believe he wants to pursue a romantic or sexual relationship with me. No, he wants something else from me. Maybe he's trying to push me to lose my sanity. It seemed to be working. Look at me, pathetic. I'm falling right into his plans. I've allowed him to get inside my mind, and work me like his own personal puppet. How humiliating. This stops now.
I walked down the hall to Hannah's room. I opened the door. She was laying in her bed, reading a novel. She immediately jumped up upon me entering. I closed the door quietly and began to speak.
"If the master is to wake tonight, take care of him. Do anything necessary to please him. I'm going out to attend to a problem. Do you understand?" I said.
"Yes, sir. Do you need assistance? Should I fetch the triplets?" Hannah asked, concerned.
"No, tell no one I've left. Carry on like I never entered this room. Just tend to the master if necessary." I said, I turned and left Hannah's room. I left the manor and disappeared into the night.
~Sebastian's POV~
I had just prepared my master for bed. I dressed him and served him with his nightly glass of warm milk. He was tired from his day with Earl Trancy, so he didn't fuzz before bed like usual. I blew out the candles and left my Master's room. Being gone for so long it wasn't a surprise, that the servants nearly tore the house apart, brick by brick. The kitchen was covered in soot and black smoke was still coming from the stove. Courtesy of Chef Bard. Dishes broken and the washing machine was overflowing with soap, as too much was used by Mey-rin. Finny had managed to kill every flower and bush in front of the manor. He claimed he had just been watering them.
After ordering new fine china, cleaning the kitchen, replacing the stove, and replanting flowers at midnight, you could say I was a tad bit tired. Finally, after I had finished everything, I retired to my room. I sat on my bed, and went over the day in my mind. I smiled. The ferris wheel was now my new favorite carnival ride. Flirting with Claude was so disgusting at first, but slowing it became entertaining. Claude was the funnest toy I've had in ages.
He wants to be a respectable demon so bad, it's laughable. Watching him blush and act out over me showing him the slightest affections was hilarious. A teenage girl could have hid her emotions better than Claude. Watching his eyes during the kiss, was the best part. Watching them widen, seeing the shock and protest, then the slight pleasure. I was truly pleased with myself, I would have to plan other things to torment Claude.
"Sebastian." I turned around to see Claude standing at my window.
"Wow we've only been apart for a few hours and now you're back. That kiss must have left you wanting more. " I said.
"I need to say something to you, and I need you to hear me loud and clear." Claude said, with a serious demeanor on his face.
"I'm listening, love." I said, curious as to what Claude would say to me.
