Woo! I've been having an awesome day today, how about you guys? Anyways, MaraBella15 had an awesome idea after watching the Addams's Family, and well this is our version of it!
Disclaimer: We don't own the Addams's family, or Kuroshitsuji. I own Matthew, MaraBella15 owns Mahulda and Cephas as well as Sebastian's alternative name Sebus.
Summary: A very strange and morbid house, a family with the interest in the macabre, and a teen who is visiting them because of a stupid school cultural project. What can happen?
~Michaelis Family~
He was swinging outside his home in a self-built wooden swing, and he hummed softly in an eerie tone. The neighborhood kids on the other side of the large gate fence were making faces and rude comments again and he stared blankly at them with his crimson eyes framed in black lashes that stood out against his paper white skin, his matching long inky black hair swaying in the breeze.
A boy had the nerve to throw a rock at him and it struck his knee, drawing blood and he ceased swinging, and stood up. He went over to the fence, and the boy who threw the rock, started mocking him, "Hey look the freak Michaelis is coming over!" He stopped just near the fence and replied evenly, "You know, as a punishment for wicked deeds, people once used the method of stoning a human to death." He said this and the kids looked at him nervously, "I find this ineffective really since you obviously don't have large enough stones. My favorite method is decapitation." With that said, he left them there and smiled.
"Freak!" Kids shouted as they ran away.
A young teen with blonde hair saw this and he looked at the address that was scribbled on a piece of paper, he was in a program at the school, it was about learning another's culture or something, anyways he was signed up to go live with a family and he just pulled his suitcase along, the small wheels making clicking noises every time it hit a bump on the cobblestone sidewalk. The wind was cold and fallen leaves danced around him, his slightly shaggy blonde hair moving as well with the wind, tickling his neck a bit. He stopped and looked at the simple black mail box on a metal gate the size of a normal one level house, and he moved a little closer to the gate and blinked in surprised as he stared at the huge, very scary house, "Holy shit!"
Mahulda was working in her garden cutting the roses again when she saw the newcomer at the gate and had Lurch open the gate and let him inside the house. She waited at the door and smiled down at the blonde boy kindly, "Ah~ You must be the child who will be staying with us am I right?" She said in her motherly sounding tone.
Though she sounded kind, he couldn't help but be intimidated by how she towered over him and he gulped and nodded, "Y-Yes ma'am!"
"Good, what is your name?" She asked and gently led him inside her large home, the very old and gothic looking mansion both beautiful and yet terrifying in its own dark way. "M-" His voice squeaked and he cleared his throat and said, "Matthew~ My name is Matthew Ross. Y-your house is… Lovely. W…With the broken walls, spider webs, and even the large vines that clung to it." He wanted to smack himself knowing he was being blunt again, it was a horrible habit and he couldn't seem to shut the hell up sometimes.
She smiled at that though, "Why dear that is such a kind thing to say~ Thank you~" She said smiling happily as she walked him through the manor, "Since you have already met Lurch." She said as she walked him through the manor, "I'll introduce you to the rest of my family." She took him to a room that looked like a study, and as soon as she opened the door, a sword imbedded itself into the wall next to them, "A solid hit, but not a killing blow!" The large raven hair man bellowed in amusement, not bothered by the fact he could have killed his wife or Matthew. Mahulda just smiled widely at her husband, "This, Matthew, is my husband Cephas." She said, and she looked at her husband again, "Cephas greet our guest Matthew." Cephas walked over to the blonde and held out his hand, "Matthew, do you fence?" He asked.
Matthew's eyebrow twitched and his body trembled slightly as he stared at the sword just wobbling on the wall and he shook the other's hand, a nervous laugh coming from him, "F-fence! N-no, not at all. That's for rich people with too much time on their hands, or people who love to slowly torture their prey by cutting them to death." AAAH DON'T SAY STUPID THINGS, STOP TALKING MATTHEW THEY WILL KICK YOU OUT OF THEIR HOUSE!
The man laughed loudly at that, "Oh how delightful! I like you already Matthew." Cephas said and chuckled as he removed the sword from the wall, "Well we must continue the tour." Mahulda said and left as Cephas called after them, "I hope you have a great stay here Matthew!" Mahulda laughed softly at that and led Matthew through the halls pointing out the rooms.
Oh god this house is so freaking weird! I could have sworn I saw the walls move too! "T-this is like the Amityville horror house! A-almost like everything here is alive and wishes to kill you or at least possess your very soul to do it every bidding!" Oh god please shut up now! He felt sure that he was going to be kicked out of the house.
"Oh, Matthew you're such a little charmer!" She cooed and just continued the tour as she introduced him to Cephas mother, a very insane old woman that almost made him faint when he tried to shake her hand and it came off, but it was really a fake arm. Mahulda then showed him to her garden, everything was pretty much deceased, and he shivered. They didn't stay long in the room before she led him outside.
Matthew's eyebrow hadn't stopped ticking since he seen every strange thing in the house, "O-oh how lovely, I see a graveyard over there! I suppose keeping it in the family is a serious thing with you guys, hahaha!" He wanted to shove his foot in his mouth, but wasn't that flexible, and wondered how long he was going to stay in such a place.
She smiled at that, "AH~ Yes, we Michaelis are a tight knit family, even in death." She continued walking as she looked around, "Now where is Sebus, I know my son is here somewhere." She looked for her son before she smiled and spotted him standing on top of the mausoleum burial temple in the center of the cemetery, his back to them as he stood as still as a statue, his hair moved in the Autumn wind, the only indication he was real.
Matthew stared up at the other, getting a very weird and dangerous vibe from the other teen, and accidently he said, "Just like Lucifer, watching over the world before he was banished to hell." Mahulda smiled and called her son, "Sebus! Get down from there, and greet our guest." She said and Sebus turned before jumping off the stone structure and landed on the ground expertly before he stood up straight and walked over to his mother and nodded his head at her before his eyes locked onto the blonde green ones.
The blonde stiffened and forced a smile on his face. HOLY SHIT! I THOUGHT IT WAS A GIRL, NOT A BOY! "Ah with looks like that you can send anyone straight to hell huh, you devil!" AAAAH! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY YOU MORON; HE'LL KICK YOUR ASS OR SOMETHING!
Sebus tilted his head and reached out a smooth pale hand to the other, "Hello, my name is Sebus." He said, his voice soft, but his face didn't really hold any emotion, just a calmness that should be considered abnormal for someone his age. Matthew laughed nervously and shook the other's hand, noticing how cold it felt, "H-Hello Sebus, my name is Matthew, I-I'm here to live with you. N-NO WAIT! NOT WITH YOU, I MEAN IN A ROOM. AAUUUGH! I MEAN IN YOUR HOUSE!" He smacked his forehead and grumbled, "Why won't the earth open up and swallow me!"
Sebus blinked and shook the other's hand once before he pulled his cold hands quickly away, "I do not believe that is physically possible for the Earth to devour you in such a way, but when you die I suppose decay will dispose of your remains and hence the Earth will devour you." He said simply and his mother laughed, "Well children, I'll let you socialize, I must finish gardening, dinner is at six Sebus, don't forget." She said as she left them alone.
Matthew stared at the raven and laughed nervously, "Hehe, great either a future criminal pathologist, or a serial killer!" He had a smile on his face, but was panicking in the inside. Oh for sure he'll kick my ass now!
"Both sound like equally rewarding careers." He said and began walking around the cemetery, completely at ease as the cold chill of the air tugged at his thin loose clothing, chilling him further. Matthew's eyebrow was ticking again and he didn't know if he should follow the other without a weapon to defend himself, "S-so funny Sebus!" He said, moving a bit, unsure if to leave or follow, he decided on the latter, and said, "I-is your family always this…" He was about to say freakish but stopped himself and said, "Unique?"
"Depends on your definition of that word." He said his voice not really holding much interest in the blonde. "Murders, serial killers, eccentric demons blending in with humans…" His eyes widen and he slapped his forehead this time. STUPID IDIOT!
"Such bold suggestions don't you think?" Sebus said, "Not that we would deny them."
"A-ah, sorry, but… Well you know what they say, you are what you are, and be it devil or angel." Matthew said with a nervous chuckle. Sebus kept walking deeper into the cemetery, his black painted fingertips grazing the equally cold headstones as he passed them, "But what if you are neither? Not a saint, nor a sinner, just a wandering apparition, a ghost that is faded into the written pages of the past."
"Then… You continue." Matthew said as he stared at the raven, "You continue with what you know best, because it is who you are~ Or at least that is what I think." Sebus just hm'ed at that and plucked a butterfly out of the air with his fingers before he placed it on a black widow's web. The spider quickly skittered over and sank it's fangs into the poor insect, but Sebus just continued to walk, ever so silent and watchful of his surroundings.
Matthew stared at the poor butterfly and just shook his head and went to the small gazebo in the center of the graveyard, and he whistled an almost eerie song as he looked at the desolate graves. Sebus could hear the other whistle and he found a comfortable headstone to sit on as he looked over to the blonde, his gaze penetrating and yet passive. This, Matthew, I believe… He is interesting.
A raven landed near the blonde and he stared at it and whistled softly to it, it stared back at him and Matthew held out a hand to it and the bird hopped onto his finger and the young teen gently stroked the bird's chest, "Hello my friend~ Have you come to carry souls away?" Sebus tilted his head and watched Matthew before he suddenly spoke, "Do you ever wonder how you will die?" He said simply. "Once." Matthew said, not bothered by the question, in fact in the orphanage it was what every child had asked before, many assuming they will die alone, though he thought differently, "Have you?"
"I have pondered many possible deaths." Sebus said as he looked up at the cloudy and dark sky, "Burning alive, electrocuted, torn limb to limb, a horrible illness, falling to my death, maybe even a suicide as dramatic as Shakespeare himself." Sebus hm'ed again, and added, "But I have come to the conclusion that my death will be most likely a silent one, drowning. Such a silent death and yet a soft one, you see…" Sebus looked to Matthew again and smiled, "I cannot swim."
"So you believe you will die by your own weakness?" Matthew looked at Sebus, the raven still in his hand, "Than I suppose I shall die by such weaknesses myself."
"Perhaps, it is but a theory." Sebus stared at Matthew and asked, "What is your weakness?"
"Love. I shall die by the ones I love, if your theory proves to be correct." He held out his hand and the raven flew away as he watched it leave. "You believe those who love you will kill you?"
"No I believe that, for the one that will love me and will kill me. After all, an orphan only wants to be loved."
"Your statement has flaws." Sebus said simply again as he got off the headstone, "But then again, everything does." He began walking back to the mansion, his footsteps silent though he stepped on fallen leaves, "Come, it is almost time for dinner, you wouldn't want yours to run away do you?"
Matthew's eyebrow ticked again, "Though I like fast food, I really hope I do not have to catch it." He ran after the other, but he had meant what he said, he felt that if he were to fall in love that it would truly kill him.
"Then eat quickly." Sebus said as he went through the front doors and walked through the living room and to a room where a large dinner table was at, his mother and father at the end of the table, and he sat at the opposite side. "Sebus, Matthew, did you both have a good time outside?" Mahulda asked. Sebus nodded and replied, "The weather is chilling to the bone, I cannot even feel my toes or hands, I also believe my pet alligator died, plus my skin stings from the wind, and I coughed up blood this morning, and I spoke with Matthew for a time." He smirked and then added, "I had quite a lovely day mother." She smiled and clapped her hands together, "Marvelous! Matthew what about you?"
"I am sure I have seen the devil that resides within your son… So far so good." He said as he stared at his meal and poked it with a fork, wondering if it really would move. Mahulda smiled as Sebus took a bite of his food, and his mother's lips became a straight line, "Sebus, play with your food! Look Matthew is being a good boy and is doing so!" Sebus shrugged and began poking the moving meal.
Matthew saw his squirm a bit and it was even moving, his eyes widen and he stabbed it with a fork repeatedly as squeals came through, "DIE!" He did not like his food still living at all, and he was pretty sure it would taste crappily if it was still alive.
Cephas and Mahulda laughed, and Sebus lips twitched at that, almost like he wanted to smile. He reached over with his fork and stabbed Matthew's food, finally killing it as it gave a small shriek and he pulled his arm back to his own food and bit into his meal again, the same shriek coming from it, but he didn't care. Matthew's eyebrow was having a never ending twitch day, but not because the other killed his food, it was how quick he was to stab it, and a horrid thought came to his head, a blush painting his cheeks, and he just viciously bit into his food, the taste strange, yet not horrible.
Sebus finished meal and looked up at his mother, "Mother may I go out again tonight?" He asked, and his mother frowned a bit, "Sebus I'm sorry, but no. Last time you nearly lost your arm, do you know how hard it is to stitch those back on?" She said, her voice not really worried. "I can stitch myself, I've done it before!" He said flatly, and his father sighed, "Enough Sebus, you will stay in your room tonight." Sebus just slumped slightly at that in his seat, his face clearly displeased. "Uhm, may I ask, what exactly are you guys? I mean!" He smacked his forehead at this and quickly said, "I mean to say are you aristocrats?"
"Aristocrats? No we are Michaelis." Cephas said with a laugh, "You're such a funny lad Matthew, I should teach you to fence." He said, a bit obsessed with fencing in general. "Oh please no, I-I'm such a fragile boy, any amount of p-pain and I'm screaming!" In pleasure, but they don't need to know that! He chuckled nervously at that. "Nonsense! I taught Sebus when he was four!" He said excitedly, and Mahulda spoke, "You nearly cut his throat darling." Sebus stretched in his seat and added his own two cents to the conversation, "It was fun."
The blush darken on Matthew's cheeks as he thought of his throat being sliced open, "Ah no1 I'm just fine! I may not know how to fence, but my father did teach me the rapier and the short blade!" What the hell am I saying!?
Cephas smiled at that, "Sounds like a smart man!" Sebus stood up and told his mother, "May I be excused Mother?" Mahulda raised an eyebrow and said, "What do we say Sebus?"
"Now!"
"Good boy." She said with a smile as he walked to the stairs and disappeared up top.
Cephas was still asking Matthew about his dad and the blonde laughed nervously at that, "Ah, my mother said that he was a bit eccentric, he would always say a man should know a way around a sword."
Mahulda smirked and looked at her husband, "Or swallow one." She said with a wink at her husband. Matthew almost spat out his weird drink at that. O-oh god, please tell me she means an actual sword! He blushed again and stuttered, "A-ah well I s-suppose I so hahaha…" Her husband winked back and spoke softly, "Perhaps hot pokers and chains." She shushed him at that, "Later~ We have a guest." She said, her smile holding a seductively sinister look for her husband.
Matthew body trembled at that, having heard them both, and he quickly stood up and shouted, "THANK YOU FOR THE MEAL!" And he ran out of the room, his face bright red as he thought of the burning pleasure. Oh god this place is my own personal hell isn't it!
Sebus was in the attic with his numerous torture devices and he lethal weapons as he stood on a stool, "Woe is the one who tries to cheat death." He said as he hm'ed loudly attaching a rope to the ceiling for his noose. Matthew wandered around and saw a ladder going up the ceiling and he could have sworn he heard Sebus, he climbed up and his eyes widen as he stared at all the torture devices, and he almost moaned at the thought of it being used on him.
Sebus was humming as he reached up, tying the rope, and his shirt slid up his midriff to expose his smooth pale abs, once he was done he looked at his craftwork, and checked the size of the loop by measuring it on his own neck.
"AH WAIT!" Matthew shouted as he thought the other was going to kill himself and he grabbed the other by the waist to hold him up. That actually made him slip off the stool and he felt the rope tighten. He gasped as he grabbed a knife he had in his pocket and cut the rope, tumbling to the floor on top of Matthew. They hit the ground and Matthew groaned in pleasure, Sebus sharp bones and light body struck him very good, "F-fuck~"
Sebus pulled the rope off his neck, breathing hard as he rubbed the pink marks around his porcelain skin, "Da-Damn, I didn't plan on you trying to kill me so soon Matthew." He said, rubbing his neck as he was still on top of Matthew, but didn't see a problem with that, "Though you're tactic of surprise nearly proved successful." Matthew blushed and pushed the other off him and he scrambled backwards, "W-what? Ah n-never mind, are you okay?" He asked his knees brought up to hide his problem, trying to calm himself down.
Sebus rubbed his neck still before he stood up, "Yes, I'm not dead." He walked over to the cut rope and sighed, "What a waste, it could have served a great purpose." He tossed it into a corner as he fixed his hair and spoke to Matthew his back still to him, "What are you doing up here?"
"A-ah I got curious." He blushed and looked away, but his eye soon widen and a little bit of drool was on the corner of his mouth as he crawled over to the stretcher, such an old medieval device, intended to stretch a person's back till it separated or their limbs dislocated. He touched it and rubbed his cheek on it, "O-oh~ I've never seen on in such good conditions before~ The pure pain this must bring to others!" Sebus smirked slightly at that, "Yes, it was my uncles." He tilted his head and said, "Would you like to try it out?"
"CAN I!" He said excitedly, then blushed and looked away, "N-never mind! Besides I wouldn't fit in th-the straps."
"Nonsense Matthew." He said as he climbed on to it and showed how he easily fit before he jumped off, "I fit, so you should too."
"N-not the best idea, I really must decline!" He stuttered, the blush growing on his face. "A pity." Sebus said as he looked around his room, "It's such fun, really stretches out those limbs~" Matthew gave a small moan of disappointment at that, "I-I bet it would~" Sebus hm'ed at that and went over to the ladder, "Perhaps you will like to try another day for now it is late, and Mother expects us to be in bed so she can say good night."
"Y-yeah." He was disappointed and followed after the other, thoughts of sneaking in to the room in the middle of the night crept about and he blushed and shook his head. Sebus walked up to his room and opened the door, "Your bed is to the right, mine is the left." He said and he lay down on his bed, kicking off his shoes and he stretched his body, his back cracking as he let out a sigh.
Matthew nodded as he entered his own room and closed the door. He changed his clothing, only a thin white muscle shirt and a pair of black boxers were on him and he climbed into the bed and he felt his body sinking in and he pulled the covers over his body, still thinking in his mind about the torture device. T-the pleasure would be so intense~
Sebus stood up once more to change into his long night shirt and loose black drawstring pants, he then lay back down on his bed again and his mother walked inside, "Night my little Raven." She said as she kissed his forehead and he told her good night back. "Have wonderful nightmares my son." With that she left and walked into Matthew's room, "Have pleasant and wicked nightmares Matthew." She said, kissing him on the forehead like she did with Sebus.
Matthew blushed and whispered, "Good night~" Sebus smiled and left, closing the door behind her.
D-don't do it, don't do it, don't do it! He couldn't sleep at all as he heard the entire house creak and moan with the rushing cool wind, his face was read and his body trembling as he thought back to all the torture devices, it had been so long since he caused self-infliction to get off, but he was punished last time when he was caught so he hasn't been able to do it in a while. But now, he was in a house, and it already late at night, and would anyone really notice him going to the room?
Sebus was in his room, enjoying the haunting noises his home made, he stared at the ceiling and looked at the cracks and faded areas like one would a map. He never slept so early, he barely slept at all and since his parents forbade him from going outside, he was having trouble sleeping.
Matthew couldn't believe what he was doing. He crept out of the room and his footsteps made small creaks, but the house made more than him. He crept to the attic ladder and went up, and he lit a small candle and placed it in the center of the room. He stared at everything, the dark shadows in the flickering candle light made for a terrifying scene, but this just made him groan. He went to a device, it was used for jousters to fix arm dislocations by pulling on it while a screw was turned and turned so it did it till it popped in. He placed his hand inside it and gripped a knob that the screw was connected to and with his other hand, he turned the other end and grunted in pain as his arm was pulled forward, his shoulder feeling strained, and yet he felt pleasure, it slowly coursed through his body from it.
Sebus heard Matthew leave the room and after a moment he opened his door and closed it behind him as he went to the soft groans of pain. What is Matthew doing up so late?
Matthew wanted more of the pleasure, something this small would not cut it. He looked at the stretcher and he blushed as he removed his muscle shirt, his self-inflicted scars on his body, from burnt marks to straight razor cuts. He ripped his muscle shirt to pieces and tied them together, it would be impossible to just turn the wheel with no one there. So he tied it around the wheel and wrapped it around several times so that way all he had to do was pull on it with his teeth for however long he wanted, and it would work. He strapped himself in and the last strap he had to place his ripped muscle shirt into his mouth and at the same time the leather strap to tighten his arm so he was bound completely. He took a deep breath and quickly gave a small jerk with his teeth and he was stretched a bit and he groaned at this and did it again, his body feeling as if it would rip from the pain, but it quivered in pleasure as well.
Sebus reached his torture room and the sight he saw made him silently gasp in awe. How unexpected of him~ He managed to hide in the shadows as he watched the other, fascinated by the cuts, burns, and other scars on the blonde's body.
Matthew wasn't aware he was being watched and he just continued, his body straining more and more, and he cried in pain, his body trying to get away from the traps and yet his own struggle excited him even more as his breath quickened and he did it again.
Sebus made his way over to Matthew as he was now next to him, "You know it works so much better if you have a helping hand~" He said darkly. Matthew gasped, the cloth falling out of his mouth and he stared at Sebus, a red blush on his face, "W-what are you doing here!"
"Helping." He said his face expressionless but his eyes shone in the dark with an unknown emotion as he yanked the wheel harshly. "AH!" Matthew's body arched, trying to pull his limbs back and he cried in pain, he wanted the other to quit it, not wanting to be seen this way, but damn his own body for having such a fetish, "Y-you've done this before~"
"Plenty of times~ This is my personal torture room. I have used all these on myself since I was a babe~" He yanked the wheel again and Matthew screamed, "AH! SEBUS!" He moaned and pulled against his restraints again, "W-wait pl-please stop, I-I'm going to…" He blush and looked away from the other in shame, he didn't want to tell him that he was going to cum from the torture, and he didn't want to be looked at in disgust by the other as well.
Sebus smirked, "And what if I don't want to?" He whispered into Matthew's ear, "You know, you're the first person I've ever been this close to, especially in my own home and in my toys~" He yanked the wheel again and said, 'Tell me how it feels Matthew."
"AH~! I-IT HURTS SO MUCH SEBUS! I FEEL LIKE MY LIMBS WILL RIP OUT!" He cried, tears falling as he pulled at the restraints again, the leather cutting into his skin till it bled and it just caused him to feel closer and closer to his ecstasy.
Sebus watched in twisted fascination and he whispered again, his voice low and soft, "Tell me if you see heaven or hell~" With that he gave one last harsh yank and Matthew screamed loudly the raven's name, his yells covered by the roaring wind outside as his body arched against the board and he roughly came, tears still falling as the pleasure and pain ran through every nerve.
Sebus saw this and watched in silence as he reached a cold hand out to wipe away the falling tears and he caught a few on his hand and he licked away the salty drops. After a moment he undid the straps on Matthew and stood, watching to see what the other would do or say.
Matthew tried to stand, but his legs were weak and he hit the ground and his body was still trembling from the intense pain and he whispered, "W-why did you do that? I-I told you n-not too~ You must find me utterly disgusting…" Sebus just watched him, his expression still unchanged, "Disgusting is merely a word, a word is only defined by the emotion behind it, I find you interesting." He crouched down in front of the other and poked his chest curiously, "Your skin, it's warm… Did you feel good?"
Matthew bit his lower lip, the blush spreading down to his neck and he gave a small nod to the other. W-why the hell is he asking me this! Oh god this is so embarrassing! Sebus hm'ed and leaned in closer as he placed his head against the other's chest for a moment, "Your heart is beating so fast, why is that Matthew?" He was more curious about this than anything else.
"B-because I u-uhm." He wondered why the other was so close to him, the other was cool against him and he didn't want to push him away, "I-I get off on p-pain~" Sebus hm'ed and touched a few scars on Matthew's chest before he stood up, "You interest me very much Matthew." He said and walked over to the attic window opening it as the freezing air rushed into the room.
This made the blonde shiver slightly at that and he moved to stand and he stared down at the floor, the blush still on his face and he muttered softly, "Y-you are never to do that again Sebus!"
The raven looked back at Matthew, his body silhouetted by the full moon's rays outside in the black sky and he allowed his face a small smile, "I'll see you in the morning Matthew and then we can play~" With that he climbed out of the window and gripped the old rusty pipes attached to the side and climbed it like a cat till he reached the roof top and he faded out of sight as he ran, the feeling of wind through his whipping hair making him smile.
Matthew just watched all of this and he crept out of the attic and back to his room, he removed his soiled boxers and slipped on another pair of clothes and he got into the bed, his face still red and his body still aching from the torture and yet surprisingly he fell asleep.
Sebus was out for a long time, but he returned as the sun started coming up, and he crept into his own room through the window and laid in bed like he was there the whole night. His body was as cold as ice and his toes had a bluish tint, he had a long and pleasing run, wasting all his energy and he was able to fall asleep.
Matthew was deep asleep in the bed, it wasn't so bad after all, but he could have sworn he felt something on his chest, he touched it and it felt like a hand. He opened his eyes but didn't see anyone there, but he was holding something. He lifted it up and screamed as he jumped out of bed, releasing the hand and ran out, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?"
Sebus was still napping when he heard this and Mahulda was roaming the halls when she heard it as well, and walked towards the blonde's room, "A scream so early in the morning? Today is a good day~" She reached the room and said, "Matthew dear~ What is the problem?"
"H-HAND!" He screamed as he pointed at the thing that was walking towards him. "Oh~ I see you've met Thing." She said sweetly, "Don't worry; he only wants to tell you good morning." Matthew stared at the thing, his eyebrow twitching again and he gave the hand a small wave, "G-good morning."
Thing waved back at him before jumping into Mahulda's arms and she smiled at Matthew, the blonde laughing nervously, "Ah, is there a place I can take a bath? I could really use one." Considering last night!
"Why yes dear, there is one in the hall that you and Sebus will have to share." She said, "And breakfast is in an hour. Please wake up Sebus for me." She left before he could speak again. He sighed and went to Sebus door and knocked on it, "Sebus?" The raven heard the knock and got up; he opened the door with a soft yawn and said, "Morning Matthew!" He said his face not as blank since he was still a little sleepy.
Matthew blushed and looked away, "Y-your mother told me to wake you up, breakfast is in an hour, I'm going to take a bath." He turned his head away and walked to the bathroom.
Sebus nodded and got his clothing ready for his shower after Matthew's bath. He looks so cute in the morning.
Matthew went into the bathroom and felt horrified, there was blood on the walls, and they look fresh. He gulped and stepped into the copper bathtub and started the water. It was freezing as hell and the hot water refused to work. He shivered as he washed his body, his hands touching the scars and he blushed when he looked at the fresh cuts on his wrist and ankles. He shook his head and quickened his bath and wrapped a towel around his waist and he stepped out.
Sebus was waiting outside the bathroom as the other stepped out and he looked at the other, his eyes just scanning Matthew's body without shame. Matthew blushed when he saw this and he grabbed the other's shirt and pulled him close and he whispered, "D-don't tell anyone what you did last night!" He released the other and headed back to his room.
Sebus didn't answer as he went into the bathroom and stripped as he took a long shower, only exiting the bath when his body felt like it was going numb. Who said I was going to tell, Matthew? The blonde dressed in a black shirt and jeans and he walked out of his room and headed to the dining room to go and eat. Sebus had left the shower as he walked to his room for his clothes, his towel wrapped low around his hips and his damp hair sticking out, his arms had a few droplets of water slid down his body, I wonder what Matthew will like to play today?
Matthew sat at the table and he played with his food, or so the other's thought, he was actually making sure that it was dead before he even thought of eating it, I-I really hope Sebus won't say anything about last night, I don't want it to be known!
Sebus changed into a simple grey tunic and black trousers' as he came downstairs and sat at the table next to Matthew today. The blonde finally killed his meal and ate it, finding it tasted like a bit of pie mixed with, for some reason, duck. He didn't put much thought on it as he continued to eat, all too aware that Sebus was next to him.
The raven bit into his meal, killing it instantly as he licked the grey drops off his lips with his tongue, his parents still chatting across the table. Matthew finished his meal and looked at Sebus, "S-so do you want to play? I feel like we are too old to be playing, but whatever. Sebus finished as well and looked at Matthew, "Yes, follow me." He said and began walking to the door outside. Matthew just raised his eyebrow and followed.
"So what are we playing Sebus?" Matthew asked the raven. "I've always wanted to play tag, but I don't know how."
"Oh… Well it's really simple, if I am it, I run after you and all I have to do is touch you, then you are it, and that's how it is played." Matthew explained and Sebus hm'ed in thought and he said, "Let's add a catch to this. If one of us catches each other, we can do one thing to each other, whatever we want."
Matthew blushed when a certain thought came to his head, but he just nodded to the other, "Ok Sebus." This made the teen grin and he said, 'Good, because I'm it. Run Matthew~"
Matthew jumped at this, and did as the other said as he ran away, yet he felt like a deer running from a wolf. Sebus was smirking, having counted to ten before he began the chase, his thin lithe figure giving him an edge as he weaved his way towards Matthew, enjoying this game very much. Run Matthew, run as fast as you can~
The blonde felt nervous at this and ran into the graveyard, in his frantic mind he thought he could lose the other in the graves, big mistake. When Sebus saw where the other was headed and he smiled wider. Silly Matthew~ I know the graves like I know my own name. Matthew jumped over one tombstone and he hoped that he wouldn't be cursed by the dead as he kept running.
Sebus ran faster, just behind Matthew, and he jumped up on a grave as he used as leverage and he basically tackled Matthew to the ground, both of them rolling till they were hidden in the thick maze of graves, "Got you!" Sebus hissed.
Matthew was gasping in pain, his hands scratched, his back aching, and he blushed as he nodded, "F-fine, y-you got me." Sebus leaned forward, his knees pinning down Matthew's arms as he hovered over Matthew's chest, "You know, I've never kissed a boy." He said, his eyes dark and sparkling with sadistic lust, "I wonder how much I can make this hurt." He said as he captured Matthew's lips with his own, his teeth tearing the soft plump lips so hard that blood was pooling in his mouth and running down their chins.
Matthew screamed into the kiss, tears coming forward from the painful pleasure and he tried kissing the other back, his lips hurting but his tongue licking the blood away from the other, feeling like a dog being beaten and yet treated by his master.
Sebus pulled his bloody move away and smiled widely, "How tasty~ Who knew how much fun this could be." He got off the other and began to run as he shouted over his shoulder, "You're it Matthew!" The blonde blushed and scrambled to his feet, his heart beating loudly as he wanted more from the other and he chased after. Sebus ran fast, weaving his way past the graves, his footsteps light and his breathing even. Such fun, I wonder if he will catch me~
Matthew forced his body to keep running, wanting to get closer, to hurt the other, even just a little bit. He stared at the long hair that trailed after Sebus in the wind and he reached out and grabbed it, pulling the hair hard.
Sebus was running when he felt a harsh yank to his hair and he misstepped and fell to his knees, his hair still in Matthew's grip, "I'll be damned, you caught me." He said, looking up at the other. Matthew blushed and pulled on the other's hair again and he kissed Sebus, first gentle, then slowly getting rougher against the other, his arms circling around the raven's body as he pulled him close. Sebus groaned into the kiss, his hands reaching up to hold Matthew's hips, his nails digging into the bit of skin that showed above the band of the jeans.
Matthew moaned softly at this, his grip tightening around the other, wanting more pain for his heating body. Sebus pulled Matthew onto the ground with him and forced Matthew onto his lap as he bit the other's lips again and slowly scratched his nails over Matthew's abs under his shirt, his teeth biting and cutting into the skin on Matthew's neck.
"Ah Sebus!" He groaned in pain, a blush coming to his face and he leaned back for the other to have all his body presented to his claws and fangs, "Se-Sebus please, please hurt me~"
"Lovely~" Sebus said, seeing Matthew's body and he slashed at the skin on Matthew's chest, leaving long and bloody lines. The angry looking welts on the skin rose to the touch from the force of his scratches, and his teeth tearing through the skin, leaving a perfect mark everywhere. Matthew gasped and panted as his body squirmed under Sebus and he cried a bit as he whispered for the other to keep coming with the pain.
Sebus continued to slash the skin of Matthew's arms, pulling off Matthew's shirt so he could give more sweet abuse to Matthew. "AH SEBUS!" He screamed, feeling the lower half of his body starting to react, he was losing his mind to the pleasure and he grinded his hips against the raven as he begged, "Don't stop Sebus, keep hurting me~"
"I'll hurt you so well Matthew, that you'll be in hell after all this~" He said as he yanked the other's jeans off and pulled his own clothing off as well, the chill morning air clashing with Matthew's heated body and Sebus's equally cold on, and he said, "Scream Matthew." He thrusted fully into the blonde, giving him no chance to adjust as he took him roughly making Matthew scream and the tan long legs wrapped around his waist, his wicked tongue flicking against Matthew's erect nipples as he watched goose bumps rise from the frosty air and his touches, "Scream and howl Matthew, it's just you and me~"
"AH!" He screamed, tears falling down as his insides were bleeding from being violently deflowered by the raven, the pain was so much that his body wanted to get away, but he held on as he kept screaming the other's name.
Sebus thrusted harder and harder as he pulled Matthew up making him sit half-way up as he struck the pleasure spot harshly, his nails drawing blood with each movement of his hands the bloody lines on Matthew's back, creating a web of patterns like some sort of tattoo like design, sadistic and beautiful.
Matthew's through was hurting from his constant screams, his body in pure agony but he held onto Sebus as he cried and shouted to the heavens, "Sebus, please rip my body, destroy me, and reap my soul, do whatever just please don't stop this feeling!"
"Matthew~!" He growled as he went even harder, his hands creating even more of his own markings on Matthew, the other's body becoming decorated in bruises and smeared in blood. He was relentless and he gripped Matthew's untouched weeping length and he pumped him, his fingers pinching on the tip with every upward motion. Matthew screamed again and whimpered in pain as he felt his release coming, but he didn't want the pain to stop.
Sebus could tell by Matthew's harsh screams that he was close as was he himself. He only went harder as he pushed Matthew's bloody back onto the rocks of the ground and he gave harsh love bites all over Matthew's skin as he licked the hot tears away. "Sebus!" Matthew screamed loudly, holding tightly to the raven as he roughly came between their stomachs, his bleeding insides tightening around the stabbing rod of Sebus's, making the raven groan out his name as he released deep inside of the blonde and held him tight.
Matthew body suddenly felt weak and he slumped on the ground, breathing hard as he tried to catch his breath, "S-Sebus, don't tell anyone okay? I… I don't want to leave here." He said a blush on his face as he looked away from the other. Sebus slipped free of Matthew and held him close while he began to redress them, "Who would I tell Matthew?" He said, kissing the blonde's cheek softly.
Matthew's blush deepened and he held Sebus hand, this made the raven smile and once they were dressed he pulled Matthew into his lap, "I don't want you to leave me Matthew~ I could kill to keep you here~" He said sincerely in his own way. "W-why did you… Uhm why did you do that to me?" He asked, getting curious about the raven's reason.
Sebus just smiled even more and kissed the tip of Matthew's nose, "Because you interest me, I like you." He said, though he wasn't sure how to romance another so he just tried his best. Matthew held him and smiled, "You are so weird, but I like it." This made the raven smirk before he heard his mother calling them, "We have to go, come Matthew." He said and he picked the other up piggy back style, and carried him back to the mansion.
"W-wait I don't want them to see me like this!" He said, the blush growing at this. Sebus just chuckled, "You should know by now my parents are… Well Michaelis~" With that he entered the mansion and set Matthew down on a plush chair of the living room and he saw his mother and father across the room. "Sebus, Matthew, did you two have fun playing?" Mahulda asked, "I hope you're alright, Sebus can play quite rough." She pointed out; the simple sentence unknown to her had a double meaning for the boys.
Matthew blushed and nodded, "I-I figured that out…" She laughed and Cephas stood and asked Sebus to help him dig up some 'Uncle Godfrey' from the grave yard, and they left Matthew and Mahulda alone for the moment, "Matthew dear, how has your stay been?"
"I-it has been quite interesting to say the least, but I feel as if there is so much more to keep learning here." Matthew said. Mahulda smiled at that and replied, "Well Matthew, you are welcome here as long as you like."
"I-I would like that very much." He said a small smile on his lips.
~MF~
Sebus was distracted as he dug the grave and his father took notice, "Sebus is there something wrong?" He looked to his father and shook his head, "No." This made the older man raise an eyebrow and he sighed, "Yes, father how did you woo mother?" He asked and his father laughed, "Oh my boy! I remember chains, whips, waltzes under the starlight, and lots of silly little gifts, ah~" He looked at Sebus his eyes showing curiosity, "Why do you ask Son? Do you have a Mi Amor? A love interest perhaps?" Sebus sighed at that, "Even if I do, I do not know how to… Go about telling him. He thinks his love will kill him." Cephas grinned at this, "Well then you must show him otherwise." He said, "And make an honest man out of Matthew." His father winked at the flushing Sebus and he said, "You know Father?"
"Ah~ Your mother and I can tell what screams of painful bliss sound like." Sebus flushed darker at that, he was sure Matthew would be angry at this.
~MF~
Matthew's ears got red and he had a feeling that someone out there was talking about him, but just shook his head from the silly notion, "S-so, how did you and your husband meet?" She flushed at the memory, a smile of nostalgia on her lips, "Ah it was at the family reunion~ A magnificent ball my friend who was married to Cephas cousin, invited me, and there I met him. Cephas is always such the charmer~ He bought me flowers, dead of course, because he knows me so well. Cephas always made me feel wanted, and he protected me dearly~ Such pain and pleasure, our love like a passionate flame of hellfire~" She shuddered slightly as she grinned, "And amazing in bed~ Aside from all that our love was there from the start."
Matthew's eyebrow ticked and his face was red like a tomato, "I-I see!" She smiled kindly at him, "Also, we are having a ball this evening~ Cephas had meant it as a surprise for your visit, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did."
~MF~
Meanwhile in the cemetery, Sebus was screaming in realization, "Ah! What the fuck do I get him?" He shouted as his father helped him cover up another grave after moving his uncle. "Simple gifts Sebus, give him simple things." Sebus huffed, he never losses composure like this before, "You make that sound so freaking easy old man!"
~MF~
"W-what!" Matthew blushed as he realized if there was a ball, he'd be stuck to a chair since he had difficulty moving, "O-oh god, how the hell am I going to be able to handle this?" Mahulda saw this and took out a purple vile from her purse and handed it to the panicking blonde, "Here, for your pain." She said, giving him a knowing wink. Until then, she had always known about her son and Matthew from the moment they both met each other, but she choose not to show until now.
Matthew blushed harder and just nodded as he took the bottle, "Thank you." He has never felt so embarrassed in his entire life, he opened the vile and brought it to his lips, the smell sweet yet a hint of nut in it, and he thought for a second it was cyanide. "It's best to drink it very quick." She warned, "It's not as pleasant as it smells."
Matthew nodded as he drank it quickly and almost threw it back up, "Ugh disgusting! I… I thank you once again Ma'am! I-I guess I should go wash myself for tonight." She smiled at that, "Alright, there is also a set of new clothing for you tonight in your closet." Matthew nodded and winced a bit, but the pain seemed to disappear and he went to the bathroom and took a shower, and he blushed madly as he ran his hands over the fresh bruises and cuts. I can't believe how fast this is all going, m-maybe it's a huge mistake! M-maybe it was one of those things you did in a second of passion, a-after all Sebus has never been with a boy or anyone else his own age, w-what if we are just both confused! He hung his head and covered his face with his hands. What if I was just experimentation?
~MF~
Sebus had a handful of dead roses, and a skeleton of a snake its spine decorated in jewels that he had in a black box tied with a crimson ribbon and he left them in Matthew's room a single white card with his name on it to show it was from him. I swear father if you make me look like a fool to Matthew for doing this I will personally make sure I remain an only child!
He waited in his room, from what he could hear through the walls, Matthew was taking a shower now, and he paced back and forth, nervous as hell. Ah! Will he love it? Will he hate it? This suspense is killing me! Father why are your suggestions so old fashioned!
~MF~
Aaah this is so confusing! W-what will I do tonight? What will I say to him? A-after all he was my first… HELL WHAT DO I WEAR!?He blushed harder and stepped out of the bathroom and he went to his room, the towel wrapped tightly on his waist. He stopped when he saw something rather disturbing. He looked at the dead roses and the black box, and his eyebrow started twitching and he opened it and almost screamed when he saw the snake skeleton. W-WHAT THE HELL! He was horrified and yet blushing as he looked at the card and knew this was Sebus way of, well he didn't know what the other was trying to say, but he was sure he was trying to be 'nice' or at least he hoped so. He gulped and looked at the red ribbon and the snake and he pulled the velvety cloth through the snake's ribs through his mouth and he tied it around his right hand, the head of the snake lying on his ring finger, he blushed at this and just shook his head and slipped on the new clothing, wondering why they felt so nice against his skin and fitted him right like a tailor got his measurements. Matthew decided to put on one more thing with his outfit, he went through his suitcase and took out a ruby earring with a long black feather attached to a chain. He placed it on his right ear and blushed a bit when he realized the feather matched Sebus hair color. He took a deep breath and went out of his room and headed to the ballroom, the feather trailing after him, it lightly twisting and make the chains clink together. I… I will ask Sebus what exactly we are to each other and wh-whatever will be… Will be~
Sebus was also preparing, though he was taking longer. He looked once in the mirror at his outfit, and he couldn't believe how… Ridiculously good looking he was. His entire black outfit clinging to him like a second skin with its slight sheen, a single long crimson sash adorned around his waist, and he combed his hair back neatly, only a single long black strand of hair lay across his face, he was grateful his figure resembled his mother's thing form and not his father's big and bulky one because he was actually wearing one of his mother's old costumes with only a few alterations to it. Matthew, I hope you like your gift, and I hope you like me as well~
~MF~
The ballroom was filled with dozens of Michaelis, and more were coming still. The party was alive with activity, Sebus had yet to show up, he was nervous as hell, and he had to take a few deep breaths alone, I-I will confess to him, if I am rejected so be it. But I will say what I must~
Matthew was sitting far away from the festivities, feeling nervous as he stared at all the Michaelis in the room, he felt strange being there and he wondered if he should just sneak to his room and hide there for the whole night. Though it didn't work so well since the ball was in full swing when he came into the room, many of the Michaelis looking his and Sebus way, though the blonde couldn't see him yet, and Sebus was greeted while he just nodded passively and only when he saw Matthew did he smile.
The blonde was playing with the empty wine glass, making it sing with his right ring finger and he softly hummed the waltz to preoccupy his time. Sebus went over to Matthew and held out his hand for the other, and he asked, "May I have this dance?" Matthew looked up at him and blushed. D-dance, with him? He hesitantly took the other's hand and the gems on the snake glistened in the light, "O-okay Sebus."
The raven took the other hand and he led Matthew into a slow waltz, smiling brightly at him. He is wearing the snake, I feel so happy~ I hope he feels like I do with him~ Matthew bushed and moved with Sebus and he whispered softly, "Y-you look very… Nice Sebus." This made the raven blush as well, but his smile grew, though it was strange, it didn't matter to him, because it was for Matthew, "You look even better. I-I'm glad you like your gift." He said since he was worried Matthew would have hated it. Matthew laughed nervously at that, "Y-yeah, it wasn't like anything I've ever got before!" He gripped Sebus hand a little firmer and he asked him, "W-what are we exactly Sebus?"
Sebus was expecting that question and he took a moment to answer, "Matthew~ you are more amazing than anyone I have met~ I find myself listening to every word you say and my eyes look for you out of everyone in a room." He twirled Matthew around, and held him close, "When I'm around you, I feel sick. Like some strange winged insects or bats are flapping around inside my abdomen, my heart races like I'm going to have a heart attack and I can't ever seem to know what to think around you. I suppose what I'm trying to say is, I, more than anything, just like you Matthew." He held him close as the song drew to a close, "I want to spend every waking moment with you." He pulled out a silver pendant and placed it in Matthew's hand, "I swear to never kill you, so Matthew~" He whispered, "Now that I admit I love you, will you consider becoming a Michaelis?"
Matthew blushed and stared at the silver raven pendant and he looked at Sebus and whispered softly, "Y-yes, Sebus I will be yours, I will become a Michaelis as long as you will have me." He kissed the back of Sebus hand and held him tightly against his warmer body, "I wish to be yours forever."
Sebus stared at Matthew and he flushed darker than ever, "I- You want to be a Michaelis?" He could feel happiness bubble up inside him and his heart started to pound, "Matthew, my heart is beating so fast I feel like I may die~ To love is such an interesting and wonderful thing." He said holding on to his Love. Matthew rubbed his cheek against Sebus and whispered, "You have no idea how incredible it can feel, until we live all of eternity with each other." He placed a small kiss on Sebus neck and said, "I will love you, beyond death, whether heaven or hell claims me, it will never take my love of you away from me."
Sebus could feel Matthew's soft kiss like a brand on his cool skin and he groaned softly, "You take the words right out of my mouth Love."
"Sebus~" Matthew said softly as his lips brushed against the other's skin still, "Can we leave here? I want to be at the gazebo, and have you all to myself under the beautiful cold moon, if you will let me." Sebus shuddered in delight and nodded as he held him, and quickly he weaved his way through the crowd, his hand tightly holding the other's until they were outside.
Matthew's hand gripped Sebus tightly as he stared at the pendant and he asked, "Sebus will your parent be okay with this? You and I together." Sebus flushed and he chuckled, "T-they know already, they don't mind, because Michaelis Love is Love no matter what."
"I hope then, that everyone in your family will come to accept me as your mother and father does already." He pulled Sebus close into the gazebo and held him tightly, his cheek rubbing against the other's, "Thank you Sebus, for accepting me first~" Sebus smiled and kissed Matthew, "You were a Michaelis when you arrived Matthew, you just didn't know it yet. I love you very much Matthew~"
They stared into each other's eyes and remained in their embrace till the morning sun came up. They were young, they were in love, and they not afraid of all of this, all they knew, were each other, and that was enough for them.
