a/n : I made it to chapter three!! XD, thanks to those who read this far, reviewing, and stick with me. Now on with story…
P. L. E. A. S. E....... E. N. J. O. Y.
'Being his butler was perfect position. Position that will allow me to mark my belonging, to claim him as mine…'
After that, Ritsuka felt he was drowning by the sea of words. Sometimes Ritsuka found himself blushing while reading through the line. The journal became more like sort of diary where the butler not hesitated to turn his feeling into words, which embarrassing. Had the world of children been nothing but restrained, then the world of adult is loose. But this butler made it borderless.
'Sometimes I felt a guilty pleasure while combing Young Master's silky charcoal hair. It felt like of kitten fur. This is one of few chore when I will gladly took off my gloves to caress each soft strands. Young Master of course put no notice as his head always bowed to examine those papers. It was a pleasurable moment so why would I feel disappoint? Well, simply because Young Master never purr like those of kitten…'
Ritsuka heard chuckles as he felt his face boiling from embarrassment. He wanted to smack Soubi for put him in current circumstances and for smiling fondly at him. Hand rubbing his pointy ears.
'…I often to see his physical beauty while bathing him. Sure Young Master was old enough to bathe himself but he's one of those who will make other do as he please without bothering to say a word.
Physical beauty was one of many things dark creature were blessed for. But lately I saw other beauty he posses. He posses that intrigued mind, the sharper instinct yet so smart at analyze even in his disoriented condition. Sometimes his complicatedness as a child could level those who were adult but Young Master still a 13 years old nonetheless. There are things he can't do. He can't understand.
But determination on his look was priceless.
I wonder why would I thinking so much about my lamb. It's inane enough without voiced it out for me to have feeling for my meal.
It is…troublesome.
And annoying.'
'…
That is it.
I'm doomed…
Despite all the frantic the Phantomhiv* household was currently in, all I thought was Young Master's altered body.
He still has the same young boy appearance and bored look. He didn't show any concern above single thing except for his parent's revenge and Queen's order. Though his cold just his façade to masked his weakness but he became more opened up to people since befriended with that odd Persia prince and his servant. They too were interesting in their own… mediocrity.
Of course, mask is important when you were one of socialite. You need to masquerade even without actual mask when you were involved with people that the sanity was beyond doubt, and people with gradation level of dangerousness. There's unwritten rules that despite many school they took, those socialite seemed retarded in many ways.
I certainly will never let their filthy tainted my prize after long and teasing wait. The disaster he has been through made him grow. Sure human was creature to never stop grow. But I don't like it to imagine how his soft cheek will harsher to be called mature. His eyes probably stay the same, it's just his face will changes with sharper jaw.
Simply, became masculine.
Though I'll never complaint about him being bigger there, only that part south his body. It was one that I claimed my prize.'
Ritsuka gulped before scrolled the page down to pass unnecessary information. Hell, he didn't get any hint about why fighter and sacrifice were the way they were right now and he was blushing for overloaded information. The diary was filled with perverted things, some of it sadistic, some completely idiot, some angst with demon-human contract, oblivious adoration to cat and young master, and other information that belong to bin.
"Soubi, you're lying. There's no information I've been searching for," Ritsuka said deadpanned.
Soubi smiled with his air head expression which only add fuel to Ritsuka's anger. Not to say that they were working on it for whole four hours. The raven haired boy didn't have much patient left.
"But it was right there," Soubi said as his radiant eyes tried to find the part for Ritsuka.
"Here," he said then moved away to give the little kitten some space.
'Finally…' it began.
"And if you see the original book, you may find differences," Soubi added.
Unlike other pages, this one didn't have dates written on it. Ritsuka checked the book and just as Soubi said, this one rather messy. Instead of tidy and neat black ink letter, this new part had scratch here and there, blotches of something brownish that different from the faded brown the ink gave away.
'Finally…'
Ritsuka continued to read again, still with annoyed face.
'…The day comes. It was flame all over us, consuming the city down along with its dying occupant, leaving big scar behind.
Not that all of those matter to me.
Right now, all I care was his soul.
Tainted by nothing but me.
I lose my arm but I thought that it worth him. Once I consume his soul, I can regenerate my body. Modify it. I can stem 2 additional new arm but no, that will make me look like those from lower class.
That was what I've thought.
My decision changes when he asked me that common question..
-Will it painful when you take my soul?- my once was Young Master asked.
-Don't worry, I'll make it as less painful as I can- I said.
-No, make it as painful as you can- he said not even blinked his eyes while I'm coming near.
-Yes, My Lord- my only answer.
It was final that he want it to be as painful as ever.
I'm marveled at how he still able to order me around. So I decided not to simply devour him. He was too priceless to erase even in this nothingness.
Instead, I took him to my place. I change his appearance a bit. Now he was more like those kitten he remembered me so much of…
With cat ears that attached on his head and slender tail that rotted from his bottom…
I scratched his pointy ears a bit and he purred just as I imagine it to be.
Ah, pleasure… just a little while before he woke up and maybe snap at me. I'm honestly looking for that moment to come…'
Ritsuka gulped again for the hundredth time that night. As if able to read his mind, Soubi added with amusing tone and sugar coated smile that can induced diabetic disease, "Oh, there's more."
'I didn't know what make this phenomenon occur. This anomaly about Young Master losing his kitten ears and tail every time we've spent our time together in bed for certain activity pushed me on my edge.
No matter numerous times I cast those cute cat-ness on him, though he always went against it with his bossy tone, it would disappear nonetheless.
He often arguing with his 'What's the point of attached it if you'll take it anyway?'
And I always answer him with my usual 'Well, it is because.'
'That's not even an answer.'
'Indeed, Young Master.'
'Sebastian,' again he called with boredom attached his lazy demanding bossy voice.
'Yes, Young Master?'
'I'm bored. Entertain me.'
Well, what could I say except 'Yes, My Lord' and continue with our slave-master game in this not-quite-an-afterlife. I liked it being ordered around by him, as much as he liked being the commander. Yet, both of us were aware that it's still me who take complete control of us like those days back when he depends on me on saving his mortal life.'
Ritsuka pretend that he still reading those lines before him. However, his pupils betrayed him, as well as his blushing face.
"So…" Soubi whispers softly on his ears, "You understand now, about ear things and this fighter-sacrifice relation."
Now Ritsuka completely aware of their close proximity, that somehow he sat on Soubi's lap.
That the way Soubi circling his arm around him did more than invading his personal space, not that he has any around the tall handsome blonde that claimed his lips since they met for the first time.
That Ritsuka not offended by it any slight… WAIT!!! Why would he not feel offended at all?! This ISN'T…
"Why don't we deepen our bond, Ritsuka?" asked Soubi, lips already claimed Ritsuka without waiting for any answer.
A/N : Sappy ending, yeah I know. Hey, do you even know that 'sappy' sounds like 'sapi' –it means cow in English– so I like it to say that the ending like a cow with its lazy munch-much. Nothing so special about this story, but, review please?
