AN: this is set after the Curry Competition Ark, I may write and post that ark eventually but will post this as it is finished.
Birthdays part two
Sebastian was very aware of his master's eyes on him as he cleaned away the plates from afternoon tea from the desk. He ignored the penetrating gaze that seemed to linger on him and continued as if unaware of his master's attention. The boys eyes had a considering glint in them that Sebastian had begun to fear over the last few years; it usually preceded some order that would result in his inconvenience or death.
It was only as he was beginning to leave that the boy voiced his thoughts.
'Sebastian, if you could have any one thing within the binds of the contract, what would it be?' His masters voice rang clear across the room just before Sebastian could escape with his cart out the half open door.
'Pardon, my Lord?' it was hard to keep the confusion off of his face.
The boy got up from his chair and moved to sit on the front of his desk.
'A while ago one of our prey offered you money, wine, and women in order to betray me; you responded that you had no interest in such materialist things. So my question is, with the exception of my soul, what do you hold an interest in? If someone was to offer you the choice of one thing that didn't break our contract in payment, what would you ask for?'
Sebastian considered the boy, he could not lie after all, and found himself answering almost against his will.
'Your screaming, my Lord, is what I would ask for; assuming it could be obtained without the destruction on the contract. The one thing I crave, with the exception of your soul, is to hear your voice pitched at that particular frequency.' The boy sat on his desk and looked at him after his admittance; he didn't look scared, only the same kind of considering that he had portrayed throughout the entire conversation.
And then he threw back his head and let that delicious sound rip from his throat. The sound vibrated throughout the room, and possibly the entire manor, completely unrestrained. It didn't hold pain, or fear, or even madness, it was released in the same way a wolf may howl; as a way of calling to its kind and signalling its position.
And the effect it had on the demon was quite similar to the effect said sound would have on a male wolf, should it come from a female in heat. The vibrations went straight to certain parts of his anatomy and left him standing, frozen to the floor.
Finally the sound petered out and his master pulled his head forward once again, his mouth closing to form a self-satisfied smile. Sebastian could not move in the aftershocks of that scream as the boy jumped of the desk and started to walk past him. He paused only once as he drew level with his butler.
'Happy birthday, Sebastian, consider that my present to you.'
And with that the boy disappeared out of his study door, leaving one motionless demon in his wake.
AN: as stated above this is not where I was originally going to put this chapter, however, because of recent events in the manga I am no longer writing for this fandom as I am not happy with it at the moment, I am really sorry to those that were reading this. Because I am no longer going to be updating this story I am going to put it as complete even though the original idea was to re-write the whole manga a little at a time.
This chapter was the last chapter I had written before I fell out of this fandom, so I am posting it with this apology even though it was originally only going to be put up after the Curry Ark.
I may one day come back to this series and start writing for the fandom again, but it is unlikely, if I do I will try to go back and fix up the time line I had and have now messed up.
