Claude was laying in his bed, thinking about his job as a butler and of Sebastian when he heard a tap on his window. He ignored the sound as it continued and stayed in his laying position to continue to think. The tapping on his window continued and got faster and louder and he got more annoyed as it progressed, so he got up and flug open the window to see what was creating the sound. What he saw greatly surprised him. He saw Sebastian standing on the ground beneath his window with a pebble in his hand, getting ready to throw it at Claude's window until he saw the plum-haired butler standing at it.

"Sebastian...? What are you doing?" Claude looked down at the raven haired demon that almost completely blended into the darkness that surrounded him.

"I came to talk to you. Take a walk with me?" Sebastian turned and looked over his shoulder to see Claude pause and then jump from the window to walk behind him.

Claude cautiously and silently walked behind Sebastian, thinking about what the shorter butler could want to converse with him. His first thought was that Sebastian wanted a fight with him, to beat him for the kiss that happened the day before. He knew that they were far from the Trancy manor since he saw the large tree that he passes each day when he goes with Hannah to search for herbs and berries that she uses for porions and spells and medicines. He continued to think of torturous things the Sebastian could do to him. His thoughts then shifted to the kiss itself, and how amazing it felt to have Sebastian's lips pressed to his own. A light blush appeared on his cheeks as he continued to think about the kiss. His mind was enraptured in the memory of the kiss until his back slammed into the large tree that he saw earlier, and he felt a cold pressure on his lips. It took him several moments to figure out that Sebastian was kissing him. His eyes widened when he figured out what was happening, and he pulled back from the kiss.

"Claude... I thought that you wished for me to kiss you... Is something the matter...?" Sebastian was panting softly and looking into Claude's eyes. Their lips were only connected by a thin strand of saliva, and that soon broke.

"I-I do want to kiss you... The kiss took me by surprise is all... Y-Your lips are very soft and cold..."

Sebastian chuckled softly and nuzzled Claude's neck. "Demon's lips are naturally very cold due to our nature, just as our bodies are cold as well. Your lips are soft as well..."

Claude's blush darkened from Sebastian's words and kiss. "Thank you Sebastian..." Claude gently pressed his lips to Sebastian's again and wrapped his arms around the shorter butler's waist as Sebastian snaked his arms around Claude's neck. Claude shifted them and pressed Sebastian's back to the tree trunk and held his hips tightly.

Sebastian laced his fingers into Claude's hair as they both deepened the kiss and brushed their tongues against the others. Sebastian slid his tongue into Claude's mouth and explored the wet cavern pressed against his own. He broke the kiss and began to kiss down to Claude's collar bone. He sucked on the collar and felt Claude grip his hair tightly as he nibbled on the area his mouth was previously sucking on.

Claude moaned softly and tightened his grip on Sebastian's hair, he also pressed his body against the Raven's and forced his head up so that Claude could kiss him again. He kept his fingers laced into Sebastian's dark locks as the kiss deepened and he found his back against the tree again, being kissed by the shorter demon.

They stayed in the other's embrace with their lips against the other's or against the other's flesh until morning. When the sun rose over the the east they knew that they had to leave the other to go back to their respective masters and manors.

Claude was distracted for the entire day as he worked on his daily jobs, this was easily noticed by Alois and Hannah. The both noticed from how they had to repeat everything to him when they spoke to him. But Alois was the first to confront him about it.

"Claude..! Why are you focused on something other than me? I'm supposed to be your center of attention and your everything. Pay attention to me and only me! What were you thinking about anyway...?" Alois whined out his words as he glared at Claude and rubbed against him.

Claude's eyes showed disdain toward the blonde boy while his face stayed emotionless. "I am merely thinking about what I must do for special events around the manor. Nothing more."

Alois looked into Claude's eyes seductively and angrily. "You wouldn't lie to me would you? I would have to punish you if you were lying to me, and you're my favorite servant so I would hate to have to do that."

Claude looked down at the young teenage boy and resisted the urge the growl and throw him off of himself. "As a butler of my stature, I can not lie."

Alois glared into his eyes for a few more moments before going back to his desk and sending Claude back to complete his daily duties.

Claude bowed and left to finish his chores for the day, and went outside to the woods surrounding the manor when everyone else was asleep to meet Sebastian. He smirked and walked to the shorter butler when he came into eyesight. He pressed his lips to the other demon's when he was close to him, and he led him deep into the woods where they were before. He passionately kissed the pitch-haired butler and held him until a burning sensation came over his left hand and he fell to his knees, cradling his hand to his chest. Sebastian soon felt the same pain in his hand and fell to his knees as well. Claude removed the glove on his hand and saw a red mark, Sebastian's contract mark. Sebastian removed his own glove and saw Claude's mark in bright red on his left hand.

"What is this...?" Claude said softly.
