Claude's Punishment.
I don't own Kuroshitsuji.
Enjoy!
"I think I'm gonna faint."
Claude remained shocked, still on top of the vampire, not realising what happened. Shouldn't Mihan be still with his girlfriend far, far, far away? That was great. First he said he'll never be bottom, second, he said he won't get laid with the vampire. Now what. Guess…He was having wild sex and all the stuff, he was bottom and he now was making love with his enemy. "Great, now Mihan came back, I am riding the vampire, there is cum all over the bed, the room reeks of sex, I was screaming seductively and guess what? The poor demon fainted! And my fucking body has no intention to let go of the thing that brought pleasure. I can't seem to want to move!" And finally he woke from his numbness when Marin raised so that now Claude's chest was right in front of his face.
"Claude, I think we should move and dress and help the boy!" but Claude couldn't reach the command to disconnect. He seemed stuck. "Claude, do you hear me?"
"I-I do but, I can't seem to want to move…"
"Oh, shit, I would have liked that if the boy wouldn't be lying unconscious on the floor! Claude, are you really stuck or you don't want to move?"
"I don't know."
"Great, …Lean over me and I will roll so that you don't have to do anything. I think I might have compelled you…" he said as he was again lying on the bed and Claude leaned over him and started rolling to the side. Marin let Claude lie on the bed and cancelled the compilation. Once Claude was thinking clear again he made sure to get dressed, and scooped the poor demon in his hands, carrying him to the living room. He laid the boy on the couch and slapped him a few times to wake him.
"Claude…?"
"Yes Mihan!"
"You are the biggest liar in Hell and a total jerk…"
"I'm glad you are ok…"
"Yeah…you stink. No, you smell nice…a bit too much though."
"Is he awake?" asked Marin concerned.
"Yeah, more or less."
"And you sir! You miserable hooker! You sleep with all the women in town and then you fuck my best friend!" he said still mumbling .
"Let him rest. He's definitely not capable of thinking logical. He just says what he thinks."
Mihan shook his head and then started talking absolutely fine. "I am perfectly fine! Now, I want to know how the fuck—no, not fuck, how the Hell did you get to fuck with this vampire?
"Mihan, calm down and I will tell you everything…" Claude said with a shaky voice. He was damn embarrassed. He was caught…
"Ok. I'm calm. Both of you tell me right now what is going on."
Claude lit the fire in the fireplace and Marin managed some tea. They sat down into the old Trancy armchairs and the questions began.
"How did this happen and when?"
"There was the second time I left for the club, I again tried to stop him. We made a deal. If I could get him drunk, he won't kill for that night, and if he wouldn't get drunk, he could kill one. He pretended to get drunk and I wanted to drop him home to make sure he is far away from blood, but he said he's been staying at every hotel and I just picked one, lied the receptionist and went to take a shower. When back he was perfectly fine, and he asked me to do it out of lust and he won't kill for 3 days. I gave in, alcohol making it's way with my brain. And we had it, he told me all his story and then he offered to be the victim of my lust, offered to sleep with me when I want. When you asked me I told you I got laid. You didn't believe."
"Stupid…I should have known you weren't kidding…."
"Yeah…"
"Then?"
"Well, you left me here for a week and I brought him home yesterday, in pure lust. Then it started so strange. Today I woke up and felt content, just like that night. I don't love him but I like him. He's on my taste. He has a female mate…"
"And he wants a male too…"
"Claude is not that one. I love making love to him, but I am on a mission and love would hold me back. The difference is that I began falling for him. We played with our bodies like animals, but this last resort, I felt it. I truly made love to Claude."
"And I felt it too. I felt loved and almost felt it towards you."
"You accepted Claude's every part? He has also a very violent and dominating part…Nice shot Claude."
"You have to understand, I feel strange. Never in thousands I felt like this."
"Due to your family…"
"Set them aside. But I feel good in his presence." He said and raised from his chair moving towards Marin to ask for a kiss but Mihan's presence wouldn't let him. He just stood there, near Marin. The vampire took his hand and intertwined their fingers and brought it to his mouth and kissed it. He wasn't afraid to show his feelings for Claude. Mihan watched in awe and Claude too. Something felt different inside the vampire. "Claude, is not what it seems, this can't be love, this is loyalty. This is the right position. You by my side."
Claude felt the need to touch him more, actually, to get onto him and just stay there. Although he couldn't he just did it. He sat down in the man's lap, kissing him, this time just cowardly, not to seem to bold.
Marin was surprised and didn't know if Claude wanted it so obvious for the younger male. He gave in responding to his kiss and Claude automatically wrapped his hands around his neck. He didn't care. He just loved how Claude was responding to him. His mission wasn't worthless after all. It had a sense.
Mihan was surprised. He didn't know what to say to what he was seeing. Claude was kissing a man and it seemed lovingly. He truly was wondering if it was true. By the way they were in bed and by the gently kisses it seemed truly love. But Claude's heart was stone. His parents contributed to that.
"Claude, you are startling the boy. Get off and stay nice…"
"Just a little bit…" he whispered against the man's lips. He was truly liking kissing those lips. He pressed one more kiss to those lips and stayed there, with his hands in his hair and his lips moving to capture more of the softness he's been graced with. The man responded, his eyes never leaving the expression of the youngster. Claude had his eyes closed, wanting to feel more. He finally broke the kiss and instantly regretted it. He raised and went behind the armchair where Marin was staying and again wrapped his hands around his neck.
From behind a sound interrupted.
"I am sorry to interrupt your little fun but, Marin, the book opened…" it was Gaby.
"How did you enter? This place has thousands of spells!" asked Mihan angered.
"I share the same Royal blood that passed the threshold so I am considered him, even if he is here…Back to my reason. The book opened."
"What did it say?" Marin asked.
"Guess. You have to do it faster, you already lost a lot of time…You have to hurry…"
"What book?" asked Claude. Something had a mystical air around the word book.
"Nothing important. You sure?"
"Tomorrow you have to begin the operation. Tomorrow or never."
"I will, but tonight no."
"I will take my leave—"
"No! I want to know things they won't answer, please. I waited to know about you and your uncle, and especially about your status. Please tell me. They don't seem communicative and Claude can't take his eyes off him."
"Stay and tell him."
"What about them?"
"They are fine, they are not 2 years old. They are probably out, doing what is in their nature to do. Plus that when they will see the book they will understand where you're gone."
"Fine. You ask I say, but I am not gonna spend my night with stupid questions, ok?
"Yes, I will just ask what is truly important to know." Said Mihan calmly.
"Then, I'm gonna go and get a shower. After maybe I'll join you." Said Marin, feeling like at home.
"I'm going to sleep for at least 10 hours. I didn't have quite time to sleep…" Claude said, in his mind, willing to finish what he was doing when he was interrupted.
"Ok, sit miss. I ain't gonna eat you…"
"Who knows, maybe you show your fangs, but it isn't politely towards a lady…"
Claude left to the bedroom to make sure that the vampire would come, he left a note under the bathroom door saying that after the bath he wants to talk. It was perfect for Claude. He positioned himself on the bed, clothes thrown all over the place as he was now staying in the dark, waiting for the vampire he's grown attached to. Just like back there in Hell, when he would have a lover for a few nights. He was some sort of playboy. Not staying to much in one place.
Marin went to the bedroom, expecting a discussion but instead, he found the demon lying on the bed, calling him with a finger. Marin simply approached and laid his body on the bed touching the other's chest with a finger. He then moved himself over the demon resting his head in the crook of his neck.
"What do you want to do lying here, completely naked?"
"I want to finish what I began."
"And?"
"Please, make love to me. Make it sweet. I am also bored of roughness. In Hell there is no passion, there is only rough lust. Give me something that they can't give. Please, I feel is something wrong, something will happen, but I want to feel good one more time. After what she said, it's clear that I will have little time left with you."
"Yes, tomorrow I have to finish what I began. You're free to try and stop me, but I will have to throw you aside. You're not the one I'm fighting. I have to kill to bring that person here. And then kill that one too."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I will erase it. You won't need to bother thinking how to stop me."
"Now, let us be…Tatoe owaru koto na nai kanashimi ga anata ubattemowasurenai de "sayonara" ga uso to omoeta hibi wo."
"Beautiful. Even if the never ending sadness steals you away, don't forget the days when you thought "goodbye" was a lie. Why so romantic?" the thought in Marin's head was another. Where did he hear that, it was from future. How could he possibly hear it?
"Why, don't like it? Then shut my mouth with that sweet lips of yours and take me away…"
"If this is what you want, but please, ask me again to make love to you. It sounded so arousing…"
Claude gave him a dirty look and then, with an angelic face that was begging he said in a seductive voice into the man's ear. "Please, make love to me! Fill me with your passion, let me a memory of you in my body…"
"Oh, God, you are tainted…it makes me want to do it. We shall resume the position we were in?"
"Yes…" Claude said and turned over the man, ready for the last act. "This is our last act together. If the dream was somehow true, if any part of it was true, I will never see you again. You and me, I see a blind destiny. Looking inside your eyes, lies become clearer to see, they tell a different story. Now I understand all you've said. 'Glad you feel so, this is what I wanted. To never forget it.' That meant that you will leave, and this will be my memory of you."
Suddenly he was pulled forward, now lying on the man's chest while he was entering him. This time they will move in unison. And they did, they both started moving and Claude didn't know if to look or not into his eyes. If he will compel him or not. He finally looked up to see the other panting just like him, silently, not to be heard downstairs where his niece was talking with Mihan. Their bodies were entwined, defenceless and silent. Just moving.
Marin moved a bit faster and the other got to his limit, releasing with a satisfied moan and he followed. Claude rested his head on his chest, Marin still within him. Suddenly Claude wanted to kiss him like for the last time. He would turn back to his work, and the vampire would probably kill again. The mortician will have a prosperous business and everybody, less the victims, will be happy. Again that selfishness got him, but he was a demon. Heaven can't change that. Marin gladly accepted the kiss, deepening it and rolling over the man to be in control. This was his last time and then he had to begin the last phase.
"Will you still be here in the morning?" asked Claude, just wondering if the man would be by his side in the morning.
"You want me to be? You are making it hard for yourself…"
"I want to see you the last time as my sex friend. I want to see you one more time."
"Maybe is not the last, but in the context of sex, yes it is. Dekireba kono mama, tsutsumarete owaritai."
"If I could, I would wrap you around me like this and be done with it."
"Yes, but there is no way to happen. This will turn into past."
"Light into darkness, lust into love and present into past. This is the Spider Demon. This is how I am. At least, when you leave, come to my shop for the last time."
"I will. I vow" he said while in his mind he changed the words "Power into weakness, water into blood, and vow into lie, this is what I've done to you, this is the Neophyte Royal. Forgive me…"
"Good, now, lets just rest."
They were now apart, their connection broken but still they were holding each other. Claude was thinking seriously at what will tomorrow bring but couldn't imagine that he will never see him again. He fought so much to stop him and now, when things changed, he was leaving. He reflected at all those unlaughable lies he said to stop his flirting, how his lies got him soaked in scotch and he even slapped him. He will keep this memories. He, the stoic demon, had fun. And quite lots of fun.
-Downstairs, Living room-
"One last question. What is your goal? I won't tell Claude if this is what you're worried or you don't want."
"He may interfere if he knows. And it's secret. Ask another. It's half past 3 and I am not going home now. I'm too lazy and I don't want to separate them so fast. He grew attached to Claude. One thing I can tell. Future is awaiting for Claude. Maybe the punishment he has ahead is not quite a punishment."
"You know what it is?"
"There is something I know, but I can't tell. It will change the future, and God will not like it. He worked a lot on this masterpiece."
"What?'
"Is like a spider web. You cut the wrong wire and the fly escapes. The spider is left hungry."
"What will happen in the next days?"
"Lots of crimes. It's not our will. We work as ordered by a greater power. Give Claude this note tomorrow after we left. Don't open it. If he shows it to you, it's fine but he has to see it first."
"How you wish. If you want to rest a bit we have lots of rooms."
"No need. Now, tell me more about you and Claude. What about his parents?"
"How long were you actually listening?"
"Since they started talking."
"Well, his parents are two spider demons. His mother is more strict than his father but he is one of the eldest demons in Hell. They are part of the cast of mages. But his father's statute is Marquis so he is too."
"Who is his father?"
"You don't want to know. Believe me. Claude told me that I better don't know. He doesn't like his father too much but he lives with only one lesson they taught him. That love makes him weak. He never fell in love. He just played around girls, never loved them. Just played. His heart is stone."
"Aha. So you don't know his parents."
"His mother's name is Eliza. As demon name. I shouldn't tell you these names but, I see you as a Hell born too."
"Eliza you say…"What a poor joke. What is his name then? Mefisto?" she thought. "Then his father is Mefisto…Claude Faustus. What a poor joke. Doctor Faust, his beloved Eliza and Mefisto. Just that this joke is not ordered correctly…"
"What? Ah, that book. I tend to think the poor Trancy boy read that book written by Goethe when he named him. Not very inspired indeed."
"Yeah…Right. I don't have interests in spiders. I like ravens and crows. They signify something. And besides, spiders always terrified me when I was a human, but I used to take the maths book and make them thin like a sheet…"
"Oh dear…"
"Don't worry, Claude is too big to be crushed with a book…hmhm."
"What are you actually?"
"A Hell-born forgiven by Heaven."
"By your behaviour you are like us…"
"Heaven can't change your character. It can only change the lifestyle."
"And it changed yours?"
"If you knew how many times I died and how many I came back…"
"I won't ask."
"Back to Claude. Tell me more…"
In the morning Claude woke up with his head buried in Marin's chest, his arms clinging to him. The man was caressing him and then he just gazed at Claude with his sleepy eyes. "Did you sleep well?" Marin asked sweetly.
"Guess, with your warm body here and your sweet scent, I slept like drugged."
"Good. Why are you glaring at me like this? Is the second time you give me that glare…"
"With just a look, they shook, and Heaven's bowed before him. Simply a look, can break, your heart…" he said remembering that morning.
"I don't get where do you know it from, cause it's from future."
"Sing it a bit. I want to hear it."
"From where to start?"
"From the start."
"Hey, Miss Murder can I? Hey, Miss Murder can I, make beauty stay if I, take my life?
With just a look, they shook, and Heaven's bowed before him. Simply a look, can break your heart…
The stars that pierced the sky, he left them all behind, we're left to wonder why, he left us all, behind!
Hey, Miss Murder can I? Hey, Miss Murder can I, make beauty stay if I, take my life?
Dreams of his crash, won't pass, oh how they all adored him! Beauty will last, when spiralled, down…."
"Hm, future has good music…Not bad at all. So Mister Murder, will you make beauty stay if you take their lives?"
"I think yes…" he said as he kissed Claude. Then the surprise came. Someone knocked at the door and entered, not waiting an answer. It was Gaby, dressed as a butler, clothes totally fit for a woman.
"Dan'na-sama, breakfast is ready. Shall I bring it here, or will you come down?" said Gaby a bit amused.
"What is wrong with you?" both of them asked.
"I wish to deeply please my Masters…Is that wrong? Should I dress you, Your Highness?"
"Gaby, stop making fun…"
"I am barely trying to please you…"
"We'll eat downstairs and we'll dress alone."
"Help with shaving your Highness? You haven't done it in two days, I'm wondering how Dan'na sama is still kissing you…"
"Out!"
"Yes, Master…" and she exited graciously, the tailcoat waving it's swallow tail.
"Just what was that?" asked Claude shocked. Not that she didn't look good for a female butler but it was a bit creepy.
"I have not the slightest idea. Probably your friend shared some of your past experiences…"
"Sounds logical. And about shaving, she was right. I ain't gonna ask if your hair grows. I bet you can control it, cause we do."
"I generally stop it from growing, but I think I forgot…"
They raised from the bed and put some clothes on and Marin went to shave. Claude went downstairs to take the breakfast. Indeed it smelled delicious, and Mihan couldn't cook at all, so it was on her to handle it. She was on high heels and dressed like a butler but with a red tie. The tailcoat was three buttoned and was suiting her perfectly. Her long hair caught in a high pony tail. He sat at the table and she brought tea pouring it one meter away from the cup. She was good, indeed.
"This is jasmine tea, Dan'na sama. Just good for a beautiful morning like this, don't you think so?"
"Yes, is a good choice."
"For breakfast we have bacon and fried eggs with fried tomatoes garniture and toast bread with butter and honey."
"Hmm, smells from a mile away Gabs, I must say, you truly are one hell of a butler. Jealous Claude?" said Marin coming to the table.
"Amazed, not jealous. A woman, dressed like a butler, preparing breakfast, and a good taste at choosing the tea. I feel quite spoiled."
"She's not usually doing this. But I think this is one of her few good moods for having fun. Mihan is here?"
"Yes, he's joining you in a minute." She said leaving for kitchen.
"I almost feel bad she did all this stuff. I am the demon butler."
"Well, she is one hell of a vampire butler…"
"Good morning, good sirs! How delicious it all looks, and what a rich smell!"
"Why did you let her?"
"She offered, then she threatened…And if I would have cooked, you wished you let her…"
"Oh, Mihan, disappointing…"
"Not all men know how to cook." She said from behind. "As not all of them know how to dress correctly, both from visual and theoretical point. Don't you think so, Dan'na sama?"
"You can call me Claude…"
"Is not politely to call your master by his name."
"I asked you to."
"Not even asked a butler is permitted such impoliteness. A butler is a man who has the duty to be exemplar and perfect, being a model for the young minds and he also represents the household. It's a shame for a butler to not be able to prepare a bit of food and to advise his master to do the best. If I couldn't prepare this little breakfast, what would I ever be able to do?"
"In Lucifer's name! You are a woman! Not a butler—" he was cut short by a gloved finger pressed to his full lips.
"Shhh, let the mystery be…You're spoiling the magic…hmhmhm" she chuckled darkly and smiled. "Besides, the tea will get cold if you don't hurry…"
They all started eating the delicious food and drank the bright tea. It was perfect and Claude remembered all the times when he would do the serving and the food. When he finished, he extended his hand for the handkerchief but instantly at his mouth a gloved hand led the cloth and cleaned his lips.
"What?"
"Part of the duty…"
"Uh, indeed. But still is strange. For a woman…" he said mischievously.
She leaned closer to his face and went to his ear to whisper. "Sweetheart, I'm not a simple woman, nor a normal vampire. Watashi wa akuma de shitsuji desu kara."
"You…" he looked right into her bright green eyes.
"You ain't behaving like for your statute. You behave like for humans and so do I. They said love bites, and so do I." And she grinned showing all her long teeth. Incredibly long canines were now visible.
"You are startling him. Back off." Marin said still calm.
"She has a sick passion to see what can scare even the devil, just like my father. Is that bad your past? Or you are acting like this to hide?" The smile disappeared.
"None of your business."
"Where are your manners now?"
"Somewhere out with a bunch of corpses."
"What?!" the three of them asked in unison.
"Someone had to do the job. And I took it upon me to begin. For now. You will obey my every command. You will stay right here until this circus with the crimes end. You won't want to stop us…" she compelled Claude. "Marin, move. We have to begin."
"I'm glad you did it. I am still…"
"Attached, I know. Is time to begin the second part of our mission, and move on." The two demons were frozen. The command was strict and her compilation ability was well trained. The youngster had no chance to break it. Marin and Gaby left.
"I'm afraid Claude will succeed in waking from the compilation. Mihan says that his father is strong and old. And he's a Mage and Marquis. He will somehow break free."
"Then let's hurry. Any news?"
"They are waiting only one more crime and will appear. It's time we pull the trigger."
"I'm sorry London, but you will have little ladies and gentlemen left when we're done. And a demon less…"
