It was quiet once again and Saeth sighed before looking up and running a hand through his hair. Heading towards the spiral stairs, he slowly ascended to the second floor, walking down the hall three doors before stopping in front of the fourth. Knocking on the door twice, he opened it and stepped inside before closing it behind him, looking around to find Christoph sitting on the bed with a blank look on his face. Sensing his presence, Christoph snapped out of his thoughts and looked up before hastily getting up and walking towards Saeth.

"I'm sorry Saeth!" said Christoph quickly and apologetically, "I didn't mean to vanish like that. Viktor just startled--!"

Saeth put a finger to his lips, silencing the demon midway, his eyes merely softening in understanding before his hand fell to his side. The demon frowned in the slightest way.

"It's alright," said Saeth. "You haven't done wrong."

Christoph looked slightly confused but nodded all the same. It was awkward for the demon so he stepped away from Saeth and out towards the balcony to look at the dark sky, crossing his arms over his chest. His feelings were so stirred that he didn't know how to deal with them anymore; especially the ones for Saeth. Ever since Saeth took him in, he had always felt something there for him and the longer they were together…the stronger it became. It started out when he was young… only 9 years old or so when he started living with Saeth and that was only because his own parents found out he was a demon and did not want him anymore. Since Saeth could never age, he was still 23 when they had met. Christoph did not have the luxury of eternal life as the vampire did so he aged as everyone else did while Saeth remained the same all these years. Saeth always would remain stoic and cold but there would be rare times when he'd let his guard down and actually be a friend instead of a guardian. Only until a year or two ago did he let his defense down and actually interact in a romantic behavior to Christoph.

"Christoph." came Saeth's silky voice from behind him

"Saeth I-.." Christoph started while turning around but stopped short when he came face to face with Saeth

Saeth waited for him to continue but Christoph seemed to have lost his voice seeing as that their faces were inches from each other. He looked a bit scared of what he was going to say, thinking that Saeth would hurt him if he did. He did have a temper which the young boy had been at the receiving end of before. The vampire raised his hand and gently stroked Christoph's cheek reassuringly, sensing his fear to speak, and leaned down slightly so their faces touched.

"You can tell me…" he purred in his ear

Christoph shivered a little and a small noise escaped his lips before summoning up the courage to speak.

"What would you say if…I told you that I…loved you?" asked Christoph softly, barely audible

The vampire drew back abruptly and looked at Christoph wide eyed as the demon looked down to the floor, ashamed. Christoph couldn't take the silence and looked up at Saeth with tears in his eyes. The vampire had never seen Christoph cry before, so this was a bit startling for him, add to the fact that the poor demon just poured his heart out to him. It was too much for Christoph.

"Forget I even asked," he said quickly before moving to bolt away.

Christoph barely made it past the bed when Saeth easily grabbed his wrist and stopped him from leaving. Saeth's grip was fierce but it wasn't on purpose. Christoph whimpered when Saeth's nails dug into his wrist slightly.

"Saeth, you're hurting me," he said in a quiet, pained voice.

The vampire's grip loosened only a fraction so he wouldn't hurt his little demon. Christoph couldn't look back as he shook from silent cries. Saeth's eyes softened and a phantom of a smile appeared on his face as he stepped closer to the demon.

"Do you mean that?" asked Saeth

Christoph didn't trust his voice so he just nodded, still not looking back.

"Look at me." said Saeth, taking Christoph's other hand in his and pulled him closer

Christoph reluctantly looked up at the angelic vampire as tears slid down his face. Saeth just smiled warmly at him before leaning down and kissing the stray tears away. Christoph's pale eyes simply widened from shock.

"Don't cry anymore…" said Saeth quietly, pulling back to look Christoph in the eyes "Je t'aime aussi bien…mon petit Christoph…"

In a swift motion, Saeth had pushed Christoph back and onto the bed, pinning him down easily without much of a fuss. When the demon looked into the vampire's glazed eyes, he could easily tell that he intended to finish what he had started earlier. Unable to resist, Saeth's mouth dove for the demons neck greedily, and the boy didn't make a move to stop him. Saeth just couldn't control himself when it came to the young demon underneath him and Christoph wasn't helping him when he tilted his head back and clutched Saeth's shoulders, digging in his short claws. Christoph, being so inexperienced at these things, didn't know what to do at all to which Saeth just chuckled before whispering:

"You'll learn so many things tonight…my little vii~irgin."

Let's just say it was a rather interesting night…
