For The Love Of One Soul

Chapter 2


It was early morning and Sebastian was storming down the hallway toward Claude's room. He wanted to be sure that he gave him a firm talking too before the day got started.

He didn't even bother knocking as he bragged in to the room, "Claude!" But the other sneaky butler wasn't around.

Where in the world could he be? His first thought was Ciel! Without hesitation he went down a floor to the master's room.

Standing outside of his room was that spider. Sebastian came up beside him and grabbed him by the shirt. "What do you think you are doing?"

"Oh don't get all huffy with me...I was just sneaking a peek at him while he slept..he looks very peaceful."

Sebastian let out a grunt and glanced at the earl before closing the door.

"Come with me now.." With that he drug the butler back to his room.

"So this is where you stay huh?"

"Yes but where I sleep has nothing to do with this conversation."

Claude gave an evil grin, "It still bothers you that you really don't know why I am here?"

"Let's get something staright...if you are going to live here then you need to obey the rules. I am the top servant here. You are not allowed to do anything without my knowledge. But as for your job...you could just help out with..-"

"Yawn...you really think I am going to be a lowly servant?" Claude interpreted as he rubbed the yawn out of his eyes.

"Yes I do...and nothing can change my mind other wise."

"Who said I wanted to change your mind? I just have to impress the young earl a bit..and he will eventually forget all about you."

Sebastian could feel the anger swelling in him, "You just keep the master out of this..you are not going to have him. He is mine."

The spider smiled and walked toward the door. But stop halfway and turned his head, "We shall see...may the best butler win."

"Oh I intend too. Now go to the kitchen and wait for me there." Sebastian said as he followed him out into the hallway.

Claude straighten up his jacket and glasses and made his way toward the kitchen.

Sebastian watched until he was out of sight before going to Ciel's room to wake him up.

Pushing the curtain's open to let the sun in Sebastian said with a smile in his voice, "It is time to wake up young master."

Ciel slowly opened one eye and covered his face with the sheets. "Must you be so cheery every morning?"

Sebastian sat on the edge of the bed, "Well if I wasn't cheery every morning, then master wouldn't have a good day. And what kind of butler would I be, if your day doesn't start right?"

Ciel peeped his head out from the sheets to see if he was serious, and of course his butler was all smiles.

"Argh..there is that same phrase again..before you know it I will be able to finish your sentences."

Sebastian chuckled a bit "That would be something master if you could do that...but it is time to get up. The day is almost half way gone."

He jerked the sheets off his young master and waited for him to sit on the edge of the bed to help him change.

Things were to quiet for Ciel so to break the silence he thought he would ask about Claude again.

"So..what are you going to do with the new butler in the manor?" Ciel asked with a half grin.

"I intend to make him obey the rules like everyone else in this manor." The raven hair butler said without looking up as he put on the earl's shoes.

"Oh you are no fun, Sebastian. Where is he anyways?"

"I told him to wait for me...-"

"I am right here my young lord." Another voice came out from the hallway.

Sebastian's head snapped around as Claude was standing in the door way.

Ciel gave a smile, "Excellent..how about you go and get this morning tea ready for me?"

"Master I have already done that." Sebastian said as he pointed to tea on the nightstand.

"While your tea making skills are excellent, I would like to see what Claude can do as well."

Ciel stood up and walked over to Claude, "Do you think you could mange to be my butler for today?"

Sebastian's eyes got wide, "Master?"

Ciel looked at Sebastian with a carefree look, "Sebastian this is an order, you can take the day off today."

What?! After two years of service he was going to get a day off? Just because Claude was around. But the master's orders are absolute. So he bowed and said. "As you wish, young master."

"Come Claude.." Ciel made his way out into the hallway.

The spider couldn't help but smile a sneaky smile, "Well..who would have thought?" Claude followed close behind the young earl.

As for Sebastian he could feel himself demonizing, he watched as the two of them disappeared down the hallway.

His eyes turned from his crimson red to a bright pink, "I will be watching you Claude."


The day went just like any normal one, but of course Sebastian was on Claude like a hawk that watches its prey. He was waiting for the one time where he would mess up and do something so bad that he could discipline him.

But so far that dream was out of reach, it seemed that Claude was just as awesome as he was. But Sebastian knew that deep down there was no one that could replace him. He made a promise to his master and he intended to keep it until the very end.

Night had come and Claude helped the young master into his night clothes and tucked him into bed. "Goodnight my young lord.." He whispered as he slowly walked out the door.

Claude closed the door only to see that he wasn't alone in the hallway. Standing there in the midst of the candle light with his bright pink eyes was Sebastian. Giving out a little chuckle Claude asked, "Why are you making that face at me for? I did everything right today...not one little mess up. Just gets me one step closer."

Sebastian said nothing but just glared at him. The spider decided it wasn't worth fighting with this tiny moth that keeps flying to close to the web. He just started to make his way back to his room.

As for Sebastian he couldn't help but stay outside the master's room, something was bothering him. He slid down the wall and propped his head up against the wall.

He could hear nothing but silence in the whole manor it was almost calming. And he needed something like this after the past couple of days he had. He slowly toke in a deep breath and closed his eyes.

~Silence~

CRASH!

Sebastian's eyes went wide as he heard something break..where did it come from?

"No! No! No!"

"SEBASTIAN!"

It was Ciel...was he having another nightmare again? No time to think..he quickly got up from where he was sitting and ran into the room. Ciel had some how knocked over his lamp and fell right out of bed on to the broken pieces.

"Master!" Sebastian cried as he ran over to him, "What..what happened?"

Ciel couldn't speak as he grabbed a hold of Sebastian's shirt. "Just breathe slowly. In though your nose and out of your mouth."

Was his asma acting up again? Sebastian couldn't really see if Ciel was bleeding anywhere since it was dark in the room.

Ciel was still trying to grasp for air so Sebastian picked him up and carried him to the bathroom. He laid him in the bathtub and found a candelabra and lit the three candles on it, finally he could see what was going on with the young master.

He looked him over and saw that he had bits and pieces of glass stuck in his hands, and cuts all the way up his arm and even some on his face. But first he needed to make sure that he could breathe.

He grabbed the medicine out of the cabinet that Madame Red had left and helped Ciel take it. Slowly his breathing started to slow down. Sebastian couldn't help but have a worried look on his face. This was the third time that Ciel has had an attack. What was going on in his dreams?

"Master..can you hear me?"

Ciel nodded. "You don't have to talk yet if you don't won't too..just rest a minute and I will clean up your wounds."

The young earl nodded again, closed his eyes and kept taking in deep breathes as Sebastian started to pull out the pieces of glass.

This one has got to be the worse yet, there were times when the young lord had nightmares but for him to violently fall out of bed...something wasn't right.

And something else was off, how come none of the other servants were checking up on what happened? Where they all that dead asleep?

He was cleaning up the earl's arms when the door creaked open. "What happened Sebastian?"

Sebastian looked out of the corner of his eye to see that it was Claude once again. "The master just had a nightmare."

Claude wondered into the bathroom and looked at the young earl who was still a little bit pale. He placed himself on the other side of the tub and asked, "Do you want me to help?"

"I guess you can..just stay with him a minute. I need to go and get some more bandages for his arms." Sebastian slowly stood up and gave Claude a look before he walked out of the room to get what he needed.

Claude couldn't help but cradle the master's face inside of his hand, he slowly ran his thumb over the blood that was dripping down the side of his cheek. Such innocence's even when he is injured.

It toke Sebastian three minutes to get back, "Is he still pale?"

"A little but he is starting to get color in his cheeks." The spider said as he moved his hand off of Ciel's face.

He noticed the blood on his thumb, Sebastian noticed it as well. Claude started to put it up to his mouth when Sebastian grabbed his hand.

"What do you think you are doing?"

"Heh...I just wanted to see what exactly draws you so close to this human."

Without batting an eye Claude whipped out his long tongue and licked the blood off of his thumb. Sebastian in rage almost jumped across the tub and slapped the spider across the face.

"How dare you..get a taste of my master!"

Claude touched the side of his face that was just slapped, he didn't even feel it. The sweet taste of pure innocence was lingering on his taste buds.

Sebastian walked over to the dazed demon butler and slapped the other side of his face. "Claude! Answer me."

Blinking a couple of times Claude came back to his senses, "So wonderful.."

"Get out...now."

"Make me...Sebastian Michaelis."

"It would be my pleasure.." Sebastian began rolling up his sleeves he was ready to slug the blanked look off of Claude's face when Ciel woke up.

"Se..bas..where are you Sebastian?"

"Get out of here Claude..I will deal with you later."

The spider made his way out of the bathroom and headed back to his room. He couldn't help but smell his hand..the smell of a pure master.

Sebastian came to the side of the tub and knelt down so that Ciel could see his face, "I am right here."

Ciel gave a soft smile, "I am so glad.."

"Master do you want to talk about the dream that you had?"

Ciel shook his head no, "I don't think that I should...just knowing that you are right here with me makes things a lot better for me."

Sebastian couldn't help but feel helpless, something was going on with his master and he couldn't help him. Sebastian finished cleaning up the wounds on Ciel's face and carried him back to his room.

He tucked Ciel in and was about to turn to walk out the door when a little weak hand grabbed his sleeve. "Stay with me until I fall asleep.."

Sebastian gave a soft smile and sat on the edge of the bed. "Yes...my young lord."


It toke a little awhile for Ciel to finally fall asleep and the whole time Sebastian was steaming about what Claude had done. He was so thankful that the young master did not see what happened.

It would be rather hard to explain how demons are attracted to certain souls, it ranges from lust, revenge, greed, pride and even blood.

Sebastian made his way as clammily as he could to Claude's room. He knocked this time after the third time he heard Claude tell him to enter.

He opened the door to see Claude was staring out of the window, and that he had changed his clothes. He was wearing a robe and when he turned to face Sebastian he found out that he wasn't wearing anything underneath it.

Sebastian couldn't help but stare for a moment and he felt himself getting hot. What...what was that just now?

"I was wondering when you were going to come and punish me." Claude seductively said as he walked over to the now frozen Sebastian.

"It could be like old times you know? I do something very bad and you make me suffer for it..."

The spider pulled at raven's tie and pulled him in close, "I mean your master tasted ever so good..I know why you want to keep him to yourself."

Sebastian bought his face close enough to feel Claude's breath on his lips, and showed off his demon eyes to Claude, "My reasons...are mine alone."

The spider's bottom lip began to quiver, "Oh don't tease me like this..."

Sebastian gave a evil little smirk, "This is my way of getting my revenge." Sebastian pushed Claude up against the wall and pressed his lips against the other butler's lips.

Claude gave no resistance as he opened his mouth a little wider to let Sebastian in. Without skipping a beat Sebastian pushed his tongue in as far he could go almost chocking Claude in the process.

Claude started to stand on his tip toes so he could get some room to breath again. "Mmph.."

But Sebastian wasn't done with his torture. He decided to break the kiss and as he did there was a line of saliva still connecting them together.

He glared at Claude as he forcefully ripped the robe off of him, exposing him in the moon light. "My..my..where should I start?"

Claude closed his eyes as he felt a gloved covered hand run down his chest and his torso. But something was wrong because there was no contact anymore.

He opened his eyes to see that Sebastian was taking his glove off with his teeth.

He jumped a little as he felt Sebastian's warm touch again.

Would that warm touch go where he needed it the most?!

"Hurry..hurry..but yet tease me more."

Sebastian could hear the yearning in Claude's breathes as he inhaled and exhaled. But there was no way that he was going to give him what he truly wanted. For all of this was to atone for disgracing his master.

Sebastian began to nibble on the spider's neck a little light at first..but as Claude moved himself closer to him. Sebastian bit down hard...hard enough to draw blood.

Claude pushed Sebastian off of him, "What...what was that for?!"

Sebastian licked the blood from his lips, "That was for tasting the blood of my master. You will learn soon enough that he is mine...and mine alone."

"Tch.."

Sebastian turned and started to walk out the door, "Just remember try something like this again...and I will do more then just bite you."

Claude watched as the door slowly closed behind Sebastian. All alone again...and he still had a throbbing urge. He sat on the edge of the bed, and stroked himself till he released the pressure.

Exhausted he laid back on the bed, but yet he couldn't help but smile. He was slowly getting Sebastian caught in his little web that he was slowly making, and soon he would either be his...or he would be gone forever.


A/N Well that is the end of chapter 2, I thought that I would put something kind of juicy in there to help the relationship between the two of them start. I really don't know how far things are going to go. I am waiting for ideas to hit me, lol. But I do hope you enjoyed this chapter, and be on the look out for Chapter 3.
