A/N: This is a birthday fic for my wonderful friend Akiruchan. -cuddles tight- This is the second part and the final section will be posted Friday. As with the specifics of demon mating, I made up the facts of demon birth as well, trying something different compared to the norm, so hopefully that'll be okay, haha.
Warnings: MPREG! If you don't like it (even though I can promise it'll be different from most mpreg out there) I would suggest that you read with caution or don't read it all. There will also be angst, smut, malexmale action, and some violence. Plus understand that before reading. Thank you ^^

A low purr left Sebastian's throat as Claude's tongue lapped at his nipples, flicking the hard nub before sinking his teeth into the skin and drawing blood to the surface. The action made Sebastian growl in pleasure and clawed hands pushed at Claude's head, trying to force him down to the place that was aching the most. "Claude," he moaned as the older male refused to move.
"Not yet," Claude answered, smirking around the hard nub. The end of the mating season was upon them and already, Claude could feel the heat that coursed through his body ebbing away and allowing him to think clearly. It was usually near the end of the season that the sense of clarity hit them and allowed them to feel those emotions that humans took for granted so much. It was a rare time and Claude wanted to savor the moment, taking this last time slow, to simply worship Sebastian's body for all that it was.
It had been two centuries since Sebastian's first fertile heat and since then, several more had come and past, but the past failure was always on Sebastian's mind. The heat made it almost impossible for Sebastian to refuse Claude's advances and his pride kept him from backing down but it didn't mean that Sebastian wouldn't try to shy away from the heat.
At least during two of his fertile heats, Sebastian found himself in a contract and was able to avoid another failed attempt at catching, much to Claude's dismay. The other times the fertile heats came around, Claude found that he was the one being thrust into instead of the other way around as Sebastian eased the heat that coiled heavily in his body. Claude only had a few times to mount Sebastian during those months and it was never enough to ensure that Sebastian would catch.
It was slightly frustrating but more worrisome for Claude, as he had expected Sebastian to recover from the first attempt within a few months as most demons did. It was commonly accepted that the majority of demons would fail at carrying a child and that a botched attempt was nothing to be ashamed about. But it seemed as though Sebastian had taken the failed attempt harder than anyone would've thought and if Claude didn't know any better, he would believe that Sebastian was scared of trying again.
He knew that the pressure to produce an heir was strong for Sebastian but no one blamed him for losing the child on his first try. In fact, by the time, word reached the masses that Sebastian had been with child but lost it when the strain became too much for his young and inexperienced body, the populace was rather shocked that Sebastian had caught the first time. The shock had turned into respect when they found how long he had carried the child for before his body could no longer take the strain. It was an amazing feat for Sebastian and no one considered him weak or an embarrassment.
Yet the mere fact that Sebastian refused to try again told Claude that the thought was on Sebastian's mind. Whenever a fertile heat hit, the younger demon was tense and his thoughts unfocused, no doubt recalling the time when he was carrying. Despite his claims that he was all right, Claude could see the faintest traces of pain in crimson eyes, especially the first few months after the accident. Those had been hard times for Sebastian in which the younger demon made a visit to see his father; a move that even Claude hadn't expected.
At the time, Sebastian had sought the older demon's knowledge and wisdom on the subject, hoping to find a way to ease the pain. Pain that shouldn't have truly been there seeing as they both knew the chances of a successful birth were low to begin with. But then again, Sebastian had always been a strange demon, slightly different compared to the rest in not just his looks but in his personality as well. He took only one mate when others took several and he boasted soft wings, like that of angel wings. Perhaps it was a kickback from his father's lineage, as Sebastian's father was an angel who had fallen from the heavens.
Claude didn't talk to the previous leader often, as the demon could easily provoke fear in him despite Claude's status as Sebastian's mate that made him family. Outside of knowing Sebastian for most of his life, Claude had never asked the younger demon about his father and what it meant to have small traces of angel in his lineage. How such a thing would affect him emotionally, as it seemed that Sebastian felt emotions stronger than most demons.
It was a theory backed by Sebastian's anguish the night he lost his child and how the loss still affected him centuries later. Claude couldn't easily forget the way Sebastian would stare out the window with a blank expression for days after losing his child; silently mourning the loss. How easy it was to believe that Sebastian would bounce right back after it, just as the other demons did, but the pain had remained even after returning from visiting his father. He didn't tell Claude what his father had said but it was something Claude had always wondered about.
It worried Claude and he only wanted to make Sebastian realize that there was nothing to fear from trying again. But it was hard when Sebastian's mind still remembered that night perfectly, not just the physical pain that came from the energy snapping and racing throughout his body, but the mental anguish as well. In a way, it mirrored the emotional torment that humans went through when they lost their offspring and Claude was lost on how to ease Sebastian past the pain. There was nothing he could do and it made Claude feel helpless; a feeling that he didn't like.
A sharp tug to his hair yanked Claude's mind away from his thoughts and he growled lowly at Sebastian. "What was that for?" He snapped.
"You stopped," Sebastian answered and bucked his hips up, pressing his erection into Claude's stomach. "And you're thinking again. I can see it in your eyes. What's on your mind that's more important than sex?"
Claude's eyes lowered as he careful sank down to rest on Sebastian's chest. "Next year you'll come into your fertile heat," he said lowly, feeling Sebastian tense under him. "I want to try again."
Sebastian shook his head. "I don't," he stated, admitting the words for the first time. "I don't want to lose it again and embarrass you because of another failed birth."
Claude jerked at the words, feeling his lips curl slightly. "I was never embarrassed because of what happened. No one blamed you for the loss. You were young and despite how strong you are, the stress that was placed on you was too much." He shook his head. "If anything, everyone is more amazed that you lasted as long as you did. You know as well as I know that it took your mother multiple times to have a successful birth."
A snarl left Sebastian's mouth and he barred his teeth at Claude, his tail thrashing back and forth next to them. "This is different though. You wanted a child more than anything and I couldn't give it to you. Don't you think that hurts me and my pride, knowing that you're upset or disappointed in me?"
"It's not about your pride," Claude answered, his fangs coming out as well as he laced his fingers through Sebastian's hair. He shifted his body until it was aligned with Sebastian's stretched hole and he thrust in without warning, making the younger demon toss his head back with a hiss. "It's about your emotions. How you felt after you lost the child and how you still feel about it. For once your pride isn't a factor in this." His hips snapped forward as his hands came down to clutch Sebastian's hips as he roughly fucked the younger demon; all sense of slow and easy gone.
Sebastian moaned and claws tore at the bedding as Claude brushed over his prostate with each pass of his cock. "And what would you ah…know about my emotions. Demons aren't hah…supposed to ha-have emotions such as sorrow." He groaned loudly as Claude wrapped his fingers around the base of his cock, keeping his orgasm at bay. "At least not for long."
Claude lurched forward and bit Sebastian's neck harshly as he continued to thrust. "But you're not most demons," he growled, his words muffled around Sebastian's skin. "You're Sebastian; the leader of our realm, son of the previous leader who fell from the heavens. But more than that, you're my mate and I know you Sebastian."
A loud cry left Sebastian's mouth as a small orgasm rippled through his body, making him tremble even though the action did little to ease his hard cock. "Claude, please!" Sebastian howled, thrashing on the bed, seeking release. His back arched off the bed as the pleasure mounted behind the unforgiving hand that kept his orgasm at bay.
"Not until you realize that what happened wasn't your fault," Claude snarled, his hips moving faster. He could feel Sebastian's cock throbbing in his hand, seeking release but still denying Sebastian such pleasures. He wanted to make the younger demon understand that he had nothing to be ashamed of from that night and that Claude would still stand beside him even if it happened repeatedly until Sebastian had a successful birth. "Nothing you do will ever shame you in my eyes. As demons we don't have shame; we are the embodiment of sin. We have nothing to fear when it comes to those emotions so don't you ever believe otherwise."
He released his grip quickly and watched as Sebastian's body tensed under him as the younger demon came harshly, screaming his release for the entire realm to hear. Claude followed soon after, Sebastian's muscles clenching tightly around him and pushing him over the edge until he too was coming hard and deep inside Sebastian. Panting, golden eyes focused on Sebastian, feeling the young lord trembling on the bed; not just from orgasm, but Claude's words as well.
"I won't," Sebastian finally panted. "I won't lose another."
Claude growled lowly and pulled out of Sebastian; his cock soft and spent after their last round. "You won't lose it this time, because you're stronger and older than before. And this time, you will relax for the whole time you carry the child." He lowered himself next to Sebastian. "Trust me …"
Sebastian snorted. "Demons don't know that word. It's a word that angels use and human's abuse. We have no need for that word in our vocabulary."
"Neither is sorrow and regret," Claude answered softly. "But you feel them and you feel them strongly."
Crimson eyes darted away and Sebastian shifted onto his side, pressing his back into Claude's chest. "I'm tired Claude," he murmured, closing the subject and pushing it away once more.
"Then rest. We'll go hunt in the morning," Claude cooed and nipped lightly at the nape of Sebastian's neck. Tonight the heat would pass and life would return to normal for the realm, meaning Sebastian would once again work on matters that were set aside during the season. He watched as Sebastian's body relaxed against him, his stomach hollow and craving a meal after the long months of mating. Tomorrow after their meal and after Sebastian was dealing with matters of the realm; Claude would handle this problem; even if it meant seeing the previous lord himself.
The mountains that towered high near the edge of the realm were intimidating to all demons. They knew what lived in the crevasses that had formed in the mountainsides over the millennia and that the creatures that resided there could be deadly if provoked in the wrong way. They were wild and untamed, compared to the smaller ones that demons liked to keep as pets.
The tips of the mountains stretched high into the clouds, the very tops of some blocked from view by dark gray clouds that were formed from ash and sulfur, left over from when the realm was first created. It was here that the previous leader of the realm lived, the clouds and high mountain range giving him privacy after centuries of living in the public eye. But even in late retirement, the demon was still powerful and demanded respect; invoking fear among the population whenever they had to deal with him.
Already, Sebastian was developing his own reputation that called for respect and fear due to his strength. He wasn't a demon that was to be messed with and with Claude by his side; it only made Sebastian all the more formidable. But despite the strength that Claude held and the own respect he commanded, it all seemed to vanish whenever Claude had to meet Sebastian's father. The demon was daunting and even though Claude had seen the affection that was given upon Sebastian when they visited every few decades, he never felt as though that same feeling was extended to him.
After all, Claude was an outsider to the family and Claude had a feeling as though their lord didn't fully trust him at times, seeing as how his relationship had started out with Sebastian. Whenever they had visited, Claude was always content to let Sebastian deal with his father while he stayed behind the younger male, offering silent respect to the elder demon. He was always in awe at the power that was held deep within Sebastian's father, knowing that the demon could wipe him out before Claude had a chance to defend himself.
It was one of the many reasons that Claude never saw the demon without Sebastian by his side. But with the conversation from last night so fresh in his mind, Claude had squashed the fear that bubbled in his chest and climbed the mountainside. He was left alone for the most part as he ascended the rocky and dangerous path that led to the manor that Sebastian called a second home, ignoring the cries that came from the creatures that perched themselves on the cliffs.
Most of them served the imperial family, protecting them from unwanted guests and anything that wished to harm them or their extended family but they let Claude pass without problem; more than likely do to the heavy scent of Sebastian on his body. But getting past the creatures that guarded the path was merely the simple part and sooner than Claude had hoped, he was standing before the large estate.
Part of the manor had been carved into the mountainside, providing a safe haven in the case of an attack or something threatening, and made it look even more intimidating. Polished black granite sculpted the rest of the manor and graceful archways detailed the front of the estate, seemingly contrasting with the jaggedness of the cliffs surrounding the house. They were the only thing that helped to put Claude at ease, as they had been added by Sebastian at the end of construction and in a small way, allowed Claude to believe that the younger demon was there with him.
The large ornate door swung open as Claude approached the entrance and he swallowed hard at the sight the previous leader, standing in the doorway and looking none too happy to see him. Arms were crossed over his chest and Claude could see a similar tail to that of Sebastian's lashing back and forth, as he continued to approach.
"My lord," Claude murmured, bowing deeply at the waist to offer respect. He stayed silent, waiting for the elder demon to recognize him first before he would speak again, even though it was unnerving to be so defenseless before the demon. If his sire wished to strike him down, the attack would come without warning and Claude wouldn't see it coming with his head bowed so deeply.
"Faustus," the dark voice rumbled, sending chills down Claude's spine. "To what do I owe this please? You never come to see me unless you're with my son."
Straightening, but still keeping his gaze on the ground, Claude nodded. "I apologize in advance for disturbing my lord but I come seeking your advice on your son." He could feel his lord's eyes barring into him at the statement and decided to continue. "I'm worried about him, sire."
Silence settled over the stretch of ground that separated them before the elder demon nodded. "Come in. I do not wish to discuss such things out here where someone may overhear." Heels tapped away, the pointed ends echoing loudly on the stone foyer. "Do not waste my time Faustus," he called out.
Claude jogged after the demon, letting the door close behind him before trailing further into the manor. It was cool due to the high altitude of the mountains and the air crackled with the scent of fire licking wooden logs as they moved deeper into the manor until they reached a sitting room. Here, a large fire burned warmly and a thick book was propped open on a table next to a chair.
He stood silently as his lord took a seat in the chair and marked the spot in his book before closing it. Burning red eyes focused on him, piercing through his body and Claude fought the urge to squirm as he waited for the older demon to speak once more. No chair would be offered to sit as neither planned on this being a long visit and Claude found that he was just fine with that.
"Now, what about Sebastian do you wish to talk about?" He asked, crimson eyes narrowing slightly. "I heard his cries last night and I can assume that he's well sated now that the season is ended."
"My lord heard us?" Claude questioned before he could stop himself. He found it rather amazing that the elder demon could hear them after being so far from the castle where they lived.
The demon snorted. "No matter how loud the realm may get during the season, I can always pick out Sebastian's cries in a heartbeat. I am well attuned to them and can tell the difference in pitches."
Claude swallowed heavily, understanding what the words meant and suddenly things made sense as to why they always visited and not the other way around. The elder demon could tell how Sebastian was doing by his vocalizations alone and had no reason to check on them to make sure Sebastian was doing all right. In this way, his lord monitored them and should tragedy ever enter Sebastian's voice, Claude would find himself face to face with the elder demon before he had a chance to flee. It was a subtle warning but an unneeded one all the same.
"I understand," Claude murmured. "Then I may say that my lord heard Sebastian's cries that night; two centuries back." It wasn't a question but rather a statement that Claude wanted to use to help start the conversation.
"I heard it that night, yes," came the soft answer, the harsh bite leaving the demons tone as he recalled a night that Sebastian was struggling to forget. "I was there too, but you didn't realize it. Too busy comforting my son to sense my presence on the balcony and I decided to leave you two be for the time."
Claude's eyes widened slightly at the words. He had simply believed that Sebastian's father hadn't cared at the time to come offer support to Sebastian and had always felt some resentment at that fact. But hearing those words helped to ease the anger that Claude had felt over the years at the lack of support from Sebastian's father. "But Sebastian came to see you eventually," he finally stated.
Black locks swayed as the demon nodded. "He did. I'm sure I don't need to say that he was upset over the whole thing and had sought my advice. Although I'm afraid that I couldn't offer much, other than to tell him that he had pushed himself too hard while he was with child, which had probably led to the failed attempt." Pale shoulders shrugged. "And he was too young. I was just as surprised as the rest of the populace when Sebastian told me he was with child after his first fertile heat."
"But now he's scared to face another fertile heat," Claude said carefully. "He believes that I'm ashamed of him for not being able to successful deliver the child and doesn't want to risk losing another one."
Snorting slightly, the elder demon examined his black nails. "Can't say I blame him; we both know how much you wished to see Sebastian heavy with your child. It was a harsh blow for him not to be able to deliver what you wanted despite his strength and now he probably worries that you'll leave him because of it."
A low growl left Claude's throat at the accusations. "I would never think such a thing. Yes I want to have a child with Sebastian but not at the cost of his life."
"And what happens if he did have that child and when you looked upon it for the first time, you realized that it held angelic features alongside demonic?" His lord asked. "I'm sure Sebastian never told that when he was born, his hair was like that of angels for the first few hours before his demon side fully took over. A small kickback that comes from my genes as I'm sure you've already noticed with his wings."
Claude shook his head. "It wouldn't bother me because it would be a child from Sebastian and myself. I would care for it regardless as would Sebastian."
A smirk spread across aristocratic features. "Of course, because it was a child that came from Sebastian; the leader of this realm and my heir. You would be a fool to give up the position you were in now simply because the child wasn't what you expected."
Before Claude come stop himself, he was lunging forward with his claws extended. He could feel his anger coursing through his veins at the underlying suggestion and he acted without thought. His wrist was caught before his claws could even touch the chair the elder demon had been sitting in and Claude blinked, realizing that his lord was standing next to him; keeping him from moving with a single hand.
"You would do well to watch your anger, Faustus," he said, voice low and threatening.
"And you would do well to remember that I stay with Sebastian because I care for him; not because of who he is. I could care less that you're his father. If anything it would make things better if he wasn't in such a powerful position," Claude spat without thought. "At least then he wouldn't have so much stress in his life and we would have more time to relax together and enjoy each other's body." His mouth snapped shut as Claude realized the words he had spoken and he swallowed nervously but refused to take them back.
The low chuckle that reached his ears told Claude that perhaps his words had amused the demon instead of insulting, and he felt the tight grip around his wrist loosen. He stumbled back quickly, putting some space between them as his lord settled in the seat once more.
"It pleases me to hear those words," the elder demon spoke. "I wanted a mate for Sebastian that would want him for who he was and not what he was. As he shares the same blood as me, he's not only my heir and current ruler of this realm, but he always has traces of angel in his genes that I passed down to him. Those same genes will be passed to his child and so forth and it's something that can't be taken lightly. I'm sure you've already noticed the similarities to angels that he possesses at times."
Claude nodded. "I had noticed. His emotions seem stronger than the rest of the populace, in that he morns and feels things most demons don't know about."
Black locks shifted again as the demon nodded. "That comes from the lineage that I passed to him. It is troublesome to deal with at times and the fact that it will be passed down for many generations to come make it a small problem for those mates who can't handle it." Crimson eyes blinked slowly, pinning Claude to the spot. "I don't think I need to tell you what happened to Sebastian's mother."
Claude shook his head quickly. It was a story that everyone knew as when the event happened, it had been so unexpected that at first, many demons believed it to be a hoax as the rumors claimed that Sebastian's mother had tried to kill him for reasons unknown. It wasn't until Sebastian was seen with only his father; mother missing from his side, that everyone realized the rumors were indeed true.
"Did she try to kill him because he resembled an angel when he was first born?" Claude asked cautiously. No one ever knew why she had tried to kill him, only that she had obviously failed and that their lord had taken great pleasure in destroying her for trying to do so.
"Yes. She couldn't bear to look at him, even after he continued to grow into his demon body and had hoped to rid herself of him. It's for that reason that I was always cautious of who Sebastian picked as a mate, knowing that I couldn't exactly tell him no," the elder demon answered. "But I have a feeling that you won't be making the same mistake she did. You seem to honestly care for Sebastian, no matter how different he may be from the rest of the demon populace."
Claude smirked slightly. "I would never let Sebastian go, no matter what. I enjoy all the little difference and quirks that he has." He sobered and cleared his throat. "But the fear of failure is keeping Sebastian from mating properly during his fertile heat and even if no child ever does come from such a thing, I wish for Sebastian to overcome the anxiety so he doesn't have to avoid it any longer."
The elder demon chuckled lowly. "A child will come eventually as he desires one just as badly as you do, but it may take several more failed attempts before one is birthed properly. It comes with experience and as of now, Sebastian only has one experience and has refused to try again."
"Will you talk to him then?" Claude asked hopefully. If anyone could make Sebastian listen, it would be his father
"I'm afraid I can't as that that job falls on you," his lord said. "However, there are ways to make him listen, provided he knew that there was a way to help improve the chances of a successful birth."
Claude blinked once before staring at the demon. "There's a way to influence the birth?" He asked. "Why haven't we known been told about this before?"
Crimson eyes narrowed. "Because if everyone knew, our population would increase tenfold and offset the balance to that of humans. If that were to happen, there wouldn't be enough souls for us to eat and soon we would have to resort to eating each other just to survive," the elder demon answered harshly. "This information has only been passed down and must never be recorded to prevent such a thing from happening. And it's only because Sebastian has suffered greatly that I'm telling you this now. It must not be used again in the future. Do I make myself clear?"
Claude bowed low from the waist once more. "I understand my lord. We shall keep this secret with us and never reveal it for as long as we live."
"Good," the demon grunted and waved his hand, using his magic to seal the room in silence so no sounds could slip through the cracks. Once secured the elder turned to Claude and pinned him to the spot with a stern look. "A month before the season starts, you must devour a fresh soul from an unborn human child. Don't let your body strip away its nutrients but instead let it sit within your stomach so it may absorb your blood and energy. When it comes time to mate, feed the soul to Sebastian during a mating session. By that time, the soul you devoured earlier will have taken upon your qualities and completely erase the human property from the soul; leaving only an imprint of your disposition. The soul already in Sebastian's body will insure that he catches and will help to feed the child right away, giving it strength of both parents."
Golden eyes stared at the demon before him, wondering if his lord was going to start laughing and proclaiming that it was a joke. But his features stayed the same and it was then that Claude realized that he had been told nothing but the truth. If that was the case, Claude had nine months until the next season started and he would have to pick his soul carefully.
"Thank you, my lord," he murmured, offering one last deep bow. "I apologize once more for bothering you and thank you for giving me your time. I can show myself out."
"Faustus," the elder demon called out as Claude made his way to the door. He waited until Claude turned around before speaking once more. "Take care of my son and your future child. And remember that I'm never too far away."
Claude shivered but nodded before slipping out of the room. Just when he believed that they had made some progress on their relationship, it seemed that the other demon would return to being a father figure first to him when it came to matters of Sebastian. But at least it was a start and after everything he had learned today, things were starting to look up.
Nine months later had Claude dodging an attack from Sebastian as they fought once more for dominance. As it was Sebastian's fertile heat, the fight was even longer and harder, Sebastian constantly testing Claude until at last Claude had pinned the younger demon to the ground. Their fight had gone on long enough and he rubbed his hard cock over Sebastian's back, slipping lower until it slide between firm ass cheeks. "No more fighting, Sebastian," he growled lowly.
The younger demon tossed his head, panting heavily as the heat spiked inside his body. It sent a wave of arousal washing throughout his body and Claude pressed his hips forward harder as the scent hit his nose. The smell of Sebastian's fertile heat was sweet and heady, making Claude lust after the younger demon even more.
"No," Sebastian groaned. "Not again," he whined.
Claude smirked, knowing exactly what Sebastian was talking about. He had captured the younger demon before he had escaped the castle to find a contract this year and had made sure that Sebastian was in the realm when his heat hit. Now Sebastian couldn't leave as no one but Claude could ease the ache in his body.
"Relax," he murmured and nipped the base of Sebastian's neck. "I know something that will help this year, I promise. There's nothing to fear, despite what's going on in that silly head of yours. I was never upset or embarrassed at what happened centuries back and I'm still not to this day." He felt Sebastian's body stilling under his as the words sunk in slowly and Claude silently urged Sebastian to listen. "I will always care for you …, no matter what happens. And even if it means that you never have a child, it will never change my opinion of you. Because I would rather have you and no child then have nothing at all."
He was speaking in the demon language now, using words that they only knew to express feelings he didn't know he had and with each word, Claude could feel Sebastian relaxing against him until the younger male was limp and supple under him. A small push back against his hips was the only urging Claude needed before his cock was slipping inside Sebastian.
They both groaned lowly as he pushed all the way in, feeling the way Sebastian's muscles clenched around his cock. It was different to have sex during the mating season; every sense was heightened and they felt things clearer. Every touch and subtle rock against each other sparked something new that had them both panting as they moved together. It was a heady rush and an odd mix between gentle and hard, slow and fast.
There were no words as Claude continued to thrust, just soft grunts and growls that left Sebastian's mouth as they continued to mate. Sweat slicked bodies moved against each other and every now and then, Sebastian would buck under him, testing Claude's grip on his wrists in a way to test the older demon even though they had already started.
It was something that no one else had the privilege of seeing; this was something for Claude and Claude alone. To see Sebastian's guard lowered as he rested his head against the floor, panting softly and his eyelids lowered so his lashes brushed low against his skin. It was perhaps during this time that Claude could see the remnants of the angelic linage that was present in Sebastian's blood and it made Claude thrust all the harder into the younger demon.
The action made Sebastian whine low in his throat as he panted heavily. The noises mixed together with the sound of skin slapping skin and the heavy growls left Claude's mouth, creating something that could only be described as music to their ears. It was a tune that only they found enjoyable as they continued to move towards completion; bodies sliding against each other.
Sebastian's body jerked against his, the first sign that the younger demon was getting ready to come and Claude paused in his thrusting to slip out and flip Sebastian on his back. Confusion swam in hazy crimson eyes at the new position but no complaint left Sebastian's mouth as Claude pushed back in, filling and stretching Sebastian once more.
A loud cry left Sebastian's as Claude reached deeper than before and clawed hands reached to stroke the hard, leaking cock that was pressed between their bodies. Claude slapped the hands away and leaned forward more to pin Sebastian's hands to the ground, making the younger demon bend in half.
"Sebastian," Claude called, panting slightly but still thrusting just as hard. He waited until crimson eyes focused on him before leaning forward the rest of the way and capturing Sebastian's lips. Mouths opened and tongues twisted around each other as Claude's chest heaved, working to push the soul that had been resting low in his body for a month, up his throat. The moment he felt it enter the back of his mouth, Claude sealed his mouth around Sebastian's.
At first, there was a moment's hesitation as Sebastian didn't know what was going on, but the moment the soul slipped from Claude's mouth and into Sebastian's, brushing over his tongue, the younger demon didn't hesitate. It tasted familiar, like that of Claude and Sebastian found himself swallowing the meal without thought as to where it had come from.
As Sebastian swallowed heavily, Claude smirked against the younger demon before slowly pulling back. He could see the soul traveling down Sebastian's throat and could feel it settling in his stomach where the energy sat contently. Once it was settled, Claude's hips started to thrust hard once more, determined to spill his seed deep within Sebastian before continuing once more.
Sebastian moaned loudly, not expecting the sudden harsh thrusts and the new soul only made him that much more sensitive. He came quickly, tossing his head back with a loud cry and hips rolling as he rode out his orgasm. Cum splattered against his chest and soft grunts left his mouth as Claude continued to thrust so he could reach his own completion.
The noises only served to arouse Claude more and that, along with the fluttering and clenching muscles around his cock had Claude coming soon after Sebastian. He jerked his hips forward lazily as the last of his orgasm rippled through his body before he slumped slightly against Sebastian, lapping at the sweat that covered his body.
He could feel Sebastian's hard cock twitching with interest against his stomach and Claude couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the eagerness that Sebastian showed when they were mating. He rolled his hips forward, letting Sebastian know that he was ready for another round before pinning Sebastian to the ground once more.
A low groan left Claude's mouth as the sunlight peeked into their room, slipping past the thick curtains that had somehow survived the previous night. It had been Sebastian's birthday yesterday, and they had spent most of the afternoon and all of the night celebrating in their room until the moon had started to set. They had only just laid down after a successfully pleasant tussle in the sheets when the sun decided to make itself known, much to Claude's dismay.
He glanced over at Sebastian who was already asleep and tugged lightly at the dark hair that splayed over the pillow. The action did little to wake him up and Claude snorted before climbing from the bed. "You have a meeting today, Sebastian," he reminded the younger demon and looked at the sun. "In two hours."
"Five minutes," Sebastian answered sleepily before burning his into the pillow to hide his eyes from the sun.
"Fine," Claude stated and slipped out of the room, pausing only briefly to use his magic to make clothes wrap around his body. There was nothing wrong with letting Sebastian rest, even though he didn't need the sleep. It was a luxury to them, but was one that Sebastian liked to indulge in. He moved past a member of the staff who was busy cleaning the hallway in preparations for the meeting and continued to the meeting room.
His body buzzed pleasantly from the after effects of last night and Claude had to admit that he rather liked it when Sebastian was in a playful mood. It wasn't often that Sebastian allowed himself to act his age, but that night, he had willingly broken down and tackled Claude to the bed before they had rolled around, fighting playfully with each other. He wasn't sure what had sparked the playfulness, but Claude wasn't complaining in the slightest.
"Do you think that was a wise idea, what you two did last night?" A calm voice asked as Claude rounded the corner.
Claude cursed and jumped to the side to avoid running into Sebastian's father. "My-my lord," he stammered and bowed quickly. "I didn't find any problem in it. His scent hasn't changed and he didn't catch this year, despite everything. But at least Sebastian no longer fears it."
An eyebrow rose slightly. "What do you mean his scent hasn't changed?"
Claude gathered the books outside the office and started to move back to the bedroom so he could make sure Sebastian was up. "Last time he caught, his scent changed and I could smell the child he was carrying. This time, there's nothing and we're past the period where the signs first start to show." He frowned slightly. "There have been reports already of several demons that caught this year and now that the birthing period is over, it's too late for Sebastian to catch."
"I see," the elder demon murmured and pushed past Claude, entering the room first. His eyes settled on the sleeping figure in the bed before scenting the air. "He's asleep," he stated, gesturing to Sebastian's unmoving body.
"We were rather busy last night," Claude answered without any embarrassment. The elder demon already knew what happened last night and as demons, they were never ashamed about their sex life.
A small hum left his lords throat before the demon moved towards the bed and taking a seat on the mattress. It dipped, making Sebastian grumble in his sleep before the smell of his father reached his nose. Within seconds, Sebastian was awake and staring up at his father, surprised to see him. "What are you doing here?" He asked, his eyes sliding to the side as a movement caught his attention.
The previous lord smirked and twitched his tail again, watching Sebastian careful. Slitted crimson eyes were focused on the moving object and Sebastian's body was tense before he lunged forward to catch the tail between his hands. A small chuckle left the demons mouth as the tail was jerked away at the last moment and the elder demon stood up, holding his tail out to the side. "Cancel his meetings, Claude," he said, whipping his tail to the side as Sebastian tried to attack it once more.
Stunned at not just Sebastian's actions but the fact the demon lord had called him by his first name, Claude nodded slowly. "Is Sebastian all right?" He asked just as a frustrated whine left Sebastian's mouth at being unable to catch the tail tormenting him.
"He's fine," the other demon answered. "He acted this way when he was younger; always finding my tail an endless source of amusement."
Claude blinked, not sure what that had to do with anything. He watched as the demon lord finally took pity on Sebastian and let him pin his tail to the bed. A happy purr left Sebastian's throat and Claude felt himself growing even more confused. He had never seen Sebastian act this way before and he found concern taking over his body. "Should we do something?" He asked as Sebastian stretched out on the bed, his body flexing similar to that of a cat and his tail twitching back and forth in the air.
The older demon shook his head, letting his tail slide away from the bed. "Just let him sleep today and entertain him when he wakes, no matter how childish it may seem. His body is out of balance right now due to the imbalance of hormones but within a few weeks it'll settle down and he'll be back to his normal self. At least for a short while." The sentence was finished with a smirk and he moved away from the bed. "Take care of him Faustus."
Golden eyes watched as his lord moved closer to him before brushing past as he left the room, smirk still predominant on his face. The door closed behind him and Claude turned his attention to Sebastian who was watching him intently, tail swishing back and forth behind him. All traces of the playfulness that were in his eyes earlier had vanished now that Sebastian's source of entertainment was gone and Claude approached the bed cautiously.
"How are you feeling?" He asked carefully, reaching out to brush over a bruise that still hadn't healed from the night before.
"Tired," Sebastian answered, a yawn escaping his mouth to prove his point further.
Claude nodded slowly. "You should get some sleep," he said, feeling weird for suggesting such things as they didn't need sleep but it was sounding as though Sebastian needed it this time. "Perhaps you'll feel better when you wake up."
A hum bubbled from Sebastian's throat and he lowered his body to rest on the bed, pulling the blankets over his body. He wiggled under the covers to get comfortable before closing his eyes and within minutes, was asleep.
The scene was odd and Claude quickly called for a servant to cancel the meeting, not bothering to elaborate why. No one needed to know about Sebastian's strange behavior this morning and once the task was taken care of; Claude made his way back to the bed before crawling in with Sebastian. He pressed his nose to the crock of Sebastian's neck, taking in the scent in case he had missed something but found that the smell was still the same, leaving Claude even more baffled. The only thing he could hope was that it was something that would pass with time and was nothing to be concerned over.
