Claude Faustus straightens his tie and looks to the man who had come to his home. He bowed slightly and cleared his throat~ "Sir, I am the butler of this manor and the head of household, Claude Faustus. I have been asked to see why you have come here uninvited this morning." The other demon in front of him arched a brow, "I have reason to believe he is within your presence." Sebastian said, shwing a photograph of a young blond boy. Well, so much for non-hands on confrontation the spider thought.
Claude kept his face blank and emotionless, arching a brow at the accusation but made no move in any way~ "Well sir, I wouldn't think so. The boy in your picture is clearly a commoner." Sebastian smiled slightly, smugly as he spoke. "Then perhaps you wouldn't mind if I met the head of the household in hopes of him being some assistance?" Sebastian held his ground watching the other carefully. He knew the boy was within the mansion, though the mansion had multiple floors and many rooms. Faustus looked at the other male demon carefully though his face betrayed no emotion~ "I am sorry, sir. My Master is not here at present. He passed on his orders via the telephone inside the manor once I had made it known to him that there were people seeking his company. He is out of the country I'm afraid." Michaelis tilted his head thoughtfully. Lies, the man was well versed in them. Dark eyes held everything behind them as he tilted his head, "My master disagrees."

Claude Faustus adjusted his spectacles with one white gloved hand and looks at the dark clad man~ "And who might your Master be, sir? I am curious as to what makes you think this boy you are seeking has any connection to my Lord at all. Surely you have other places to search... A shallow grave perhaps." Sebastian replied cooly. "My master is none of your concern. Perhaps you should step aside so that I may do my investigating and be on my way." Crimson orbs were unamused at the demon's reactions and subtle threats. Alois was puzzled, it was awfully quiet... Perhaps Claude had friends? The thought amused him as he moved to the edge of the bed with his cup, deciding to look out the window. The Trancy servant smirked ever so slightly and shook his head~ "I am sorry sir, but I cannotlet you enter my Masters manor without his permission. Should you attempt this I will be forced to do my duty and defend the house on his orders."

"Then I suppose you should prepare to defend." Sebastian's answer was quiet as he slipped beside the man and into the manor immediately heading for the stairs as he suspected the boy would be in bed. All he knew how to do was serve after all. Claude suddenly grabbed Michaelis by his shoulder and shoved him out the door, golden eyes darkening at this intrusion.~ "I don't think you understood my warnings clear enough. Be off at once sir." Sebastian smirked, "Sir, my orders were clear." Faustus sees the smirk on the man s face and shakes his head~ "My Masters orders are absolute. Now go before things take a bad turn for you." Alois stared out the window for a moment trying to place the car before realizing he couldn't. None of it looked familiar... upon this realization he slipped on the long thin night gown and considered going downstairs. Tiptoeing to the door one bright blue eye peeped out only for the boy not to be able to see anything down the hallway. Venturing a little bit further he hid behind the wall peeking out only to notice a rather bristled Claude and a gentleman he'd never seen before. "Things couldn't possibly turn bad for me, though they could for you seeing as you're harboring an individual of whom does not belong." Sebastian said haughtily. Upon hearing his words the boy shrunk back, but not nearly soon enough. Sebastian caught a glimpse of blond bed head as he turned and quietly walked back to the room.

Claude Faustus cocked an eyebrow and removed his spectacles, his golden eyes boring into the other male. This one was going to be a problem. He was going to defend Alois... Even if that meant contracting with the boy.~ "The only individual here who does not belong is you sir. If you do not depart hastily then I will be forced to make you. As for your Master... Well let us just say he had best never come here without written permission from mine." Feeling his heartbeat quicken the boy moved to the room quickly before moving to lay back under the blankets curled up. The demon shook his head, pulling his gloves on more securely before sighing, "Looks like it will be the difficult way." He murmured before grabbing Claude's collar in a firm grip, "You're testing my patience. My dear butler what is it the boy has that could possibly be of use to you?"

Claude Faustus smirks as he looks into the increasingly frustrated mans eyes. The boy... Well he did love the boy and had given Alois his word that he would protect him. Claude very calmly flicked his wrist and spider thread that was stronger than steel cable but was capable of cutting through anything entangled the man before him.~ "I'm about to test more than your patience dear fellow. And as for being a butler... Well I gave my Master my word that he would never have to fear again. Such is the nature of a Trancy butler." The threads tighened, cutting into Sebastian, drawing blood like piano-wire. Trancy... that had been the name he'd been given to cover his first identity. A smirk as the raven haired man shook his head, "The boy's entire life is fear itself. You've taken note of this though, perhaps chosen him as your twisted play mate seeing as you're anything but human." Claude Faustus nodded at this in part. Though he only tightened the threads, which cut deeper into him~ "Yes, I am aware that all he had was fear, I aim to change that. And no, he is far from only being my toy or plaything. I am simply one Hell of a butler, as you yourself should be very familiar with. You're not human at all as well."

Sebastian moved just enough to withdraw a kitchen knife from his pocket, beginning to saw at the web with it behind his back. A shame really, his jacket was ruined. Dark crimson orbs stared intently at the other shaking his head, "The boy is not contracted to you nor does he know what you are. Just how do you plan to go about that?" Faustus flicks his other wrist and wraps a string around Sebastians throat. He was fully aware that the other man was cutting at one of his strings. Though that was useless... his knife would simply be cut by the string instead. When he said it cut through anything, he meant anything.~ "I shall keep him safe, even if I must contract the boy... And I think he will only have more faith in me then, not fear." Faustus shook his head and cracked his neck. He could stand here all day and simply cut the other demon to ribbons with his strings~ "So what exactly does your Master want with mine? You never did give a legitimate reason for your presence." Sebastian shrugged, "I did not ask a reason. I did as told." Claude Faustus looked at him oddly and cocks an eyebrow. Was the man daft?~ "Well, what were your orders regarding the boy?"

"Find and get the boy. Bring him back to the warehouse in which he previously stayed for punishment." The demon deadpanned before shrugging, "I am not contracted to the boy as of yet and believe I will save this for another time." Claude smiled darkly at the demon who was caught in his webs. Oh no... there was not going to be a later. Nobody but himself was going to claim the boy. The boy trusted him and he would not betray that trust to the cold male before him. Alois Trancy was HIS, not Sebastians~ "Oh I think not, Mister Michaelis. Alois Trancy is mine, and no others. The boy will not be punished for anything anymore."

"Is that so?" Sebastian smirked, the boy was growing antsy upstairs waiting for the demon to come back. He was softly pacing the raven haired man could hear the light tapping of his feet. Claude Faustus nodded solemnly and sighed~ "Yes it is so. The boy is... precious to me. He is too innocent still to be punished for simply being over-contracted. Business is business after all. As long as money is given I see no reason for your 'Master' to be upset." Sebastian shook his head, "The boy is precious to him as well. He brings on quite a bit of money I presume. Though if you like you may discuss the idea with my master."
Faustus smirked at this and nodded. For the time being he would do so, but in secret he would forge a contract that would bind them together.~ "Very well. However none but I touch the boy. I did pay good money for his company after all... Far more than he normally would have been given for." Sebastian gave a simple nod toward the stairs, "The boy is getting more and more restless. I will go set up something with my master and inform you a head of time when you are to show." It wasn't exactly orders but he wasn't opposed to bending them.
Nodding Claude walks back inside to go find his Master upon releasing Michaelis and watching him leave. Seeing him on the stairs he went to him and hugs him close while kissing through his hair~ "Alois, my Lord... A meeting has been arranged. Terms will be dictated... Don't worry... I'm not letting go of you, sir... my Master."

Alois exhaled a breath he didn't know he'd been holding as Claude held onto him clinging to the man. Placing a soft kiss to Claude's jaw as baby blues watered he didn't bother to speak. Words simply didn't cover the idea of freedom. Though this perhaps wasn't freedom. From the looks of it he would stay with the demon until told otherwise. The idea didn't bother the smaller in the slightest as he eased his grip on the other's waist. Claude caresses his cheek with a white gloved hand.~ "Master... I will have your freedom, sir. Even if I have to do something drastic. After all, even if I have to keep giving them money as a ruse, you will be free. I promise you."

Blinking back a couple of traitorous tears he inhaled roughly. What even was freedom? "I'll remain with you and you will be mine." He said softly with a smirk. The boy wouldn't take no for an answer though didn't realize a contract could be in his future. The butler lifted Alois' chin and whispered right before he pressed his lips against the boys own for a passionate kiss~ "Yes, your Highness." After he spoke thusly he kissed Alois deeply, holding the boys face in his hands. Trancy kissed back as his eyes drifted closed. There was something about this man... something that caused his skin to tingle and his heart to fill with need. The idea was confusing as he allowed Claude to hold him for a long moment. Claude held the kiss for a few long, passion filled moments before he picked the boy up and carried him upstairs to tuck him into the bed to rest. Claude then removed the breakfast dishes and went off to wash them.

Alois curled himself into a small ball in the middle of the bed for a long while pondering how things were going to go. They couldn't end well as the level of profit off the boy alone was quite high seeing as he was quite the sick twisted charmer. It would be a hefty fine if anything.. Running his fingers over one of the worse bruises he stared at the curtains in thought. Perhaps this man was insane.. spending so much on the blond of whom he'd picked up in a club.. didn't gentlemen tend to get screwed out of thousands in these situations without anything to show? What was stopping this from being that situation, even though the blond knew he wasn't going anywhere and would stay tightly tucked under Claude's coat tails these thoughts still baffled him.

[5:14:35 PM] Claude Faustus: Claude Faustus smiles at the boy. The Demon had quite literally an unlimited amount of money in all currencies. He could have a hundred million delivered by tomorrow afternoon if it was needed. He was not insane, only in love. Claude stroked the lads blond hair and sang to him in italian, singing 'Cena D'amore' in his slow, rich voice to sooth his nerves. Alois arched a brow briefly. He could sing... was the demon serious? Closing his eyes he gave a sigh before unwinding some eyeing the man. Claude Faustus smiles while continuing the operatic piece for his young Master

Alois smirked resituating himself against the demon's lower back curling against him. Claude holds the young boy against the front of his coat, stroking through his flaxen hair gently~ "You are MY young Master..." Sweet baby blues flickered closed as he lay there before sighing, "Claude... get back into the bed with me." He murmured sitting up and slipping out of the irritating shorts that fit almost like a second skin. "I'll need clothes once things settle." He nods at the order and slides into the bed, still fully dressed~ "Certainly sir, I will take you to town at that time and we shall get you something appropriate to your new status, sir."

"I still like shorts." He mumbled pulling the long gown down over his legs once again before moving to lay against Claude's chest. Faustus kisses the top of Alois' head softly, whispering~ "I have a plan sir... I have means that you are unaware of... I can make you into something you could not even dream of... Make you untouchable under all law. I think I am going to style you to be part of a noble house." Means that he is unaware of was usually never a good thing. Cracking one eye open he looked up at the demon, "What are you getting at?" He asked quietly body wrapped in blankets against Claude. Claude nuzzled against Alois' cheek and smiled softly as he whispered once more~ "I have the ability to pull all kinds of strings, get all sorts of things done for you sir... All you have to do is order me to do them... a fair trade. I am getting at making you into a personage of nobility so that you have diplomatic immunity."

Leaning slightly he placed a soft kiss to the other's lips, "Do what you see fit. If I don't like it you'll know." Settling in once again the blond sighed, the ability to be untouchable would be glorious. Claude Faustus kissed his Master back a bit deeper and groaned. The lad had all but had suddenly given him permission to make a contract with him... Nuzzling into the man's neck he gave a content sigh Faustus pulls a blanket over them both to keep the chill away. Alois mumbled something quietly before laying completely still, his mind was still at work thinking things through. Claude set his spectacles on the nightstand while undressing himself, curling around the boy, naked as a bluejay. A small smirk appeared on small pink lips before the boy removed the night gown and wound himself back into the demon. nuzzling into the others chest he pulled the blanket over him and quietly yawned.

The spider demon kisses along the boys smooth ivory colored shoulders as he enjoyed the warmth the boy gave to him now that he was bare against him as well. Tilting his head forward he rubbed the other's hips and back. Claude Faustus flushes and nuzzles at his chest~ "My perfect Lord..." Alois smirked kissing the top of soft raven locks, "Mm?" He murmured. Claude Faustus chuckles at his sleepy expression, ruffling his hair~ "When do you think the other male will return with the meeting arrangements, my Lord?"

"I've never seen him before in my entire existence other than maybe one or two instances in which he was sent to get me after long absence. He's kind of odd... Quiet and cold but rarely brutal. In very few instances he got my ass off the line. He's generally quite well with timing... will probably show either tonight or tomorrow..." Baby blues opened slightly to peek at the other before sighing, "He also has one of us he refers to as master. The male is small about my height, eye patch over one eye, slender legs, doesn't tend to work. More so send the older to do his bidding in some instances or one of us. None of the others nor I know how he got out of things but there are many rumors the man of whom he has wrapped around his fingers is inhuman and quite powerful though he can't be quite seeing as he answers also to the man that is over us all."

Faustus smirks. Ah, so Phantomhive was back in town... How ironic. Well well... It looks like Claude was going to see an old friend after all. Chuckling to himself darkly he shook his head~ "My my... it looks as if you were held in bond by nothing more than a boy. I can deal with this easy enough your Highness." Alois snorts. "The boy is bitter. Quite the little ass... would probably do him some good to have a good lay but he's far too proud for the idea to faze him." A twisted smirk shaking his head, "mm... I like the idea of freedom... but I'm quite afraid I wouldn't know how to deal with it."

Claude Faustus pulled him tight against his chest and kisses his lips to quiet him~ "My lord Trancy... You would have me to guide you and serve you to your heart s content. And as for laying the other boy... well perhaps he can be persuaded by yourself... Who knows... We shall see upon our arrival." Alois kissed back before adding, "I don't have clothes to meet with him... perhaps a small clothing trip is in order?" He was teasing of course the only time he wore clothes was outside of the house. Claude chuckles and nodded~ "Of course sir. I can lend you a set of my clothes that will be cut down to size before we depart." The blond smirked nuzzling close, "Hmm.."

Claude Faustus smiles and goes off to prepare him an outfit, returning an hour later with a perfect copy of his outfit in miniature. Alois snorted and laughed rolling into the blankets, "Claude.. Claude.. I am not a mini you. I am not even in the same social circle as you." He giggled sitting up. Faustus smirks and looks at the boy~ "Dear boy... it is all we have currently for you to wear."
Baby blues eyed the outfit for a long moment, how could he make it his own? Blinking he considered getting the shorts off the floor and just taking the button up. His cloth boots weren't completely out of the option. Of course they clearly held the air of his choice in career and he'd need stockings to go with them... Scratching the idea the boy slipped from the sheets and sat on the edge of the bed, "Put it on." He stated quietly though this wasn't said long before the doorbell rang, a well dressed man on the front step. Sebastian was waiting. Of course his master was not highly pleased with this at all, but as with all things the man would twist it to his fancy.

Claude knelt and slips a pair of black socks onto his pale feet and then the undergarments along with the straight black pants and the crisp white shirt. Taking a moment to tie the ribbon around his neck and fasten it with a brooch. After this he slid the coat over Alois' shoulders and buttoned it, standing to look him over~ "Well, you look good if I say so myself sir." It felt odd... the feet of pants... He wasn't sure he was completely taken with the idea of them but it would do. Deciding to further tease the man he tilting his head, "Where are my spectacles?" Chuckling Claude shook his head~ "I did not think you wanted a pair of tem seeing as your eyes function perfectly, sir... However I believe Sebastian is at the door waiting."

Sebastian so he knew the man? Hopping off the bed he shook his head, "He knew I wouldn't be asleep therefore he came at the soonest date." Making his way to the door he wondered how the man functioned dressed like this. So many...layers . Claude Faustus followed his young Lord downstairs and opened the door, adjusting his spectacles as he looked out to see Michaelis waiting there~ "Ah, there you are."

"My master wishes for you to meet within the upper floors in his office." The man wasted no time with greeting. Alois bristled some at the idea of seeing Phantomhive. The two had many differences and it was written all over the walls. Faustus nodded and motions for the other demon to lead the way~ "Well let us go then to meet young master Phantomhive then shall we?" Dark crimson flashed at the mention of his master s name. The demon was treading far too heavily for the raven haired man's liking. Alois eyed Claude for a long moment eyes showing that of curiosity before following Sebastian and getting in the back seat, he would need to watch the man closer now. There was obviously something he didn't know and the blond didn't like secrets.

Claude Faustus sat in the back with his Lord, looking at him kindly~ "Master, all will be explained soon enough. But in order for me to explain it you will have to learn something about me that mat disturb you sir. Just give it a bit of time and all shall be revealed, I promise." Sebastian held back a scoff as he started the car looking in the rear view mirror at the boy and then at Claude before making his way back to the main road. It was going to be a long night as he could already tell. Claude felt the males reddish eyes on him and looked forward, smirking~ "Bee in your bonnet Mister Michaelis? Best keep them on the road."

The man didn't bother to speak, it was better to not do so as he drove, weaving through traffic freely for a good thirty minutes before turning onto the exit and going toward the club. Alois sighed closing his eyes and leaning his head against the headrest. This was annoying and it was testing his patience. Faustus places a white gloved hand on Alois' head and stroked through his pale hair, singing a bit of Cena D'amore to him to ease his nerves. Crystal blue orbs watched the man from the corner for a long moment before closing once again. Irritation still present within his body language for a long while before changing to impatience. They were nearing the club in which he knew he had a clean pair of cloth shorts and would gladly change into those. Sebastian sensed the boy's uneasiness with a twisted smirk as he put the car in park. "One moment for the boy to change. I will alert Ciel to your presence." He didn't need to alert the younger as he probably already felt Sebastian's presence once again.

Claude nodded and picked the boy up, carrying him inside and takes him directly into the changing area, barking at everyone else inside to leave quickly before standing guard outside the door for him to finish dressing. Alois smirked as he watched a few of the others hurriedly leave before quickly finding his own area and peeling off the man's clothes. The only positive thing he could say was they were warm and a bit more comfortable than his own. Short shorts hugged his hips, Claude's button up still clothing the rest of his body along with the jacket over it. It was too chilled outside to go without it though depending on how long they stayed here he'd peel it off as well due to being too hot. Sliding on a clean pair of black stocking he added his favorite boots of which he rarely wore due to not wanting to mess them up and soil them with anything.

Coming to stand next to Claude he handed him the pants, shoes, and socks shockingly neatly folded as he took note of the music playing. Of course it would be the one of which he adored. Icy orbs scanned before landing on the demon in question hearing a few catcalls as a couple men took note of his presence the blond glared making a noise of disapproval though giving them something to look at anyway. Faustus picked the boy up and carried him up the stairs to the office door where Sebastian stood waiting for them. His eyes glinted crimson while Alois looked away. The lad did look good in his current mode of dress, but he would be cold later. That was alright. Claude had his tailcoat to give the boy should he have need of it. Cold didn't hurt the Demon like it would the human boy~ "Here we are Michaelis... Now, my Lord, once more unto the breach dear boy. Let us get this over with."

"I can walk, Claude." Alois stated eyeing the man, knowing in some form it was because of where they were. Sebastian gave a simple nod opening the door to the office and speaking to his master whom was sipping tea at his desk. Claude put the young boy down and bowed stiffly. Walking into the room with the blond and the other Demon he faced the desk, seeing Ciel there. Hmm, tea eh? Nice touch to try and hide his Demonic nature. However Claude scented him immediately.~ "Well Sebastian you took your time in getting back... And... Well Well Alois... and look what else we have here... Claude. How ironic."

Alois smirked sweetly, "Hello Ciel.. Long time since I last saw you~" Oh yes, the boy always knew how to get under the younger demon's skin. Sebastian nodded, "Claude wishes to discuss terms of taking Alois with him permanently instead of for a night." Ciel cocked an eyebrow but smirked a bit. Of course he did... resurrect the past and ghosts were bound to return. This Alois was merely a replication of the one from 125 years before. He bore the same soul but slightly altered which is why Claude was drawn to him as he was. Claude nodded at Ciel~ "Yes, this is correct. I do wish to take the boy off your hands though you will be heavily compensated as you well know." Alois blinked staying quiet as they spoke. Even though he'd grown quite used to being treated as a possession it didn't make it any less uncomfortable or annoying.

Ciel looks at Alois and tilted his head. The new one did look remarkably like the old one... Ah the memories... The boy was just as annoying then as he was now... Perhaps he should simply allow Claude to have him again to get him out of his hair~ "Alois... What do you think I should do with you?" Alois resisted the urge to say something bluntly sexual shaking his head, "I don't care what is done with me. It's not like I have a place in this as anything but a possession now do I?" His tone held a bitter edge as he eyed the other deciding to take things on a different note. He didn't need the other to think he was getting soft, he wasn't soft. Even in this situation the blond still felt uncomfortable especially with the demons.

Claude Faustus looked down at the boy and what the boy said had hurt him a little. Alois was not just a possession to him... Claude looked away and stared at the wall in front of him, saying nothing but his aura seemed to have darkened with shame, making the room feel heavier. He didn't take note of the other's hurt. It would bother him if he even acknowledged it. The man had taken it wrong but by the same token he wasn't too pleased with being lead on as he felt he was either. His eyes never left Ciel's but to take the cup of tea Sebastian offered. Ciel smiles darkly at the Archdemons pain. Ah, now that was more like it. Play them against each other, make them suffer. Ciel sipped his tea and chuckles~ "Well I could let you go with your handsome man here, Alois... Or I could have him killed for keeping you over the time limit..."

Blue orbs didn't waver, he had been around the boy to know well enough, "If you're going to do anything to anyone it would be me. It's written in the contract on which my name is forged. The client isn't to have a role in punishment, only the one that allowed it to happen." Even if he wasn't pleased with the man he didn't wish torture on him. Claude shook his head, a light growl coming from his lips as he heard this~ "I told you that I was not going to let you be hurt anymore and I did not lie to you. I will not allow this to happen. Ciel, best quit toying with me. I am not one of your chess pieces."

Alois perked as he heard Claude speak, sipping the tea he remained within his own little world before setting the tea cup down on the edge of the demon's desk, "Make up your mind. My patience is growing thin." The blond was in no place to push and he knew it though that didn't stop him. Heels clicked as he moved to stand in front of the demon wrapping his arms around his waist, slender pale fingers making their way beneath his tail coat, head against his chest, teasing look in place, "I'm quite comfortable staying at his side, yes."

Claude Faustus wrapped his arms around the boy and looked at Ciel, whose visible eye had begun to glint crimson, his pupil a black slit like a cats. Ciel stood and walked around his desk and chuckled darkly~ "Well since you are so content being by his side, would you like to know a little secret about your man there?" Alois smiled without humor "But of course, it would happen to be the same 'secret' as your own. Are you ready to expose yourself Phantomhive? We all know how you feel about doing that. Always such a tight ass." The blond laid it on thick baby blues glinting with a grin. Oh how he'd love ruffling the demon's skin. Sebastian stood behind him loyally though even he knew the words the boy spoke were true.

Claude looked at the other two, once more it was to be the Spider versus the Dog. Oil and Water, Hot and Cold all over again, but this time he was going to defend and love his Alois. Never again would he take the boy for granted. Claude was nervous that Alois would hate him for being a monster and would run from him, from all of them. However Alois had once loved him despite his dark nature, had trusted him more than anyone... Perhaps a spark of that life still burned within his soul somewhere. The Demon whispered down t the blond~ "Day into Night, Sugar to Salt, Passion into Composure and a stray dog of a boy into an Earl, your Highness..." Alois shook his head, he'd always be just as Claude found him. One could change a person's clothes, give them water and a bath but deep down they were always still there. Though part of the boy's soul recognized his previous life, knew where he belonged and thusly didn't oppose power and recognition even when the sexual side only wished to be a teasing brat prodding and playing.

Claude Faustus felt this and flinched. Then he would never have his Alois back... Not quite as he had been anyhow... This made the Demon feel a stinging sensation in his golden eyes. Tears? That couldn't be, an Archdemon didn't cry. Though when he touched at his eyes his gloves fingers came back reddened. Bloody tears for the pain which now hurt him. Ciel grinned up at him sweetly, mocking him~ "Alois, your butler here is in fact an Archdemon from Hell, a contractual hunter of human souls." Alois smirked not allowing the information settle nor sink in, "My my, Phantomhive actually is evil?" He spat moving to play his hands on his own hips beneath the jacket, "I don't care what he is rather he'll be the death of me or not...I will ultimately die at some point. Just as you would have by the hand of both of them if I hadn't put an end to it." Where Had that come from?

Claude Faustus gasps and looks down at the boy, a dark crimson tear dripping down one pale cheek. Could it really be his Master coming through somehow? Claude felt his Mark tingling slightly and shuddered, while Ciels eye glowed brighter, sneering at that voice, so very familiar~ "Ah, but you didn't... We are still here, the four of us... You're still as bratty as ever, Alois..."

"Oh but I shouldn't be, now should I Ciel?" He stepped a bit closer to the desk cocking his head, "You either played a role in such a thing or had Sebastian immediately smother out the idea of me ever becoming who I once was. I guess you're not at all pleased that your plan didn't work are you? Does it sting? Knowing you no longer have the power to control me?" He smirked smugly words settling like that of venom, "My plan at least in part worked, your soul cannot be consumed by either of them and now my Claude wants me and only me So I suppose it actually did go according to plan now didn't it?"

Claude stood in awe, his eyes widening as his tear fell and darkened the carped like a drop of red wine. Ciel knitted his eyebrows together with annoyance and sighed, shaking his head~ "For the love of God... You simply won't die will you...? And I suppose your contract still exists between you and the Spider doesn't it... And Claude stop crying all over my carpet you imbecile."

Alois smirked sticking his tongue out, "Well what do you know? I suppose it does." Licking his lips he smirked before turning to the demon behind him heels clicking as he moved to stand in front of him eyeing him for a long moment before speaking again, "I will not die, no. I'll always be that little itch you cannot scratch... that pin prick of a person you may not manipulate or control." Baby blues shined irritably before speaking to Claude, "Bend down to my level." He commanded. Claude Faustus gasps as his hand blazes with a fire, the Mark blazing back into existence for the first time in 125 years, the same Mark appearing on Alois' tongue again. The Demon kneels down on one knee, his Marked hand pressed to his sternum~ "Always your Highness." He whispered, a few more blood tears dripping down his otherwise serene face.

A dark grinned appeared on the younger's lips before licking the tears off the demon's face, allowing the seal to press into his cheek as he did so. He knew it would stir the demon's emotions, knew it would cause different ones before murmuring, "Take me home. I have some things that need to be done. And don't pretend you don't have my clothes packed away somewhere. Get them." Faustus stood at once and bowed, his eyes golden flames as he obeyed the orders given. He started to walk out the door, with Alois in tow when he realized that they hadn't brought the car, they had been driven there. No matter. The demon would simply call a taxi and get them home that way. Claude smiled out of sight of his Master as they went downstairs.

Once they left the room Ciel said~ "I want them watched carefully Sebastian..." Yes, my Lord."
