Demise 10 [Video Post]

Aug 10, 2009 04:52

[And here was the butler once again, today he was standing in the grand hallway of Whipstaff Manor, looking out the stain glass windows in front doorway which his hands behind his back. He stood there in silence for a minute before slowly giving off a chuckle to himself, a hand running towards his head and brushing the tendrils of his black hair ( Read more... )

the butler is 'interested', someone has become a target, thoughtful thinking, don't press too hard

Problems, Sebastian...?

[Yes, he knows. He had no idea it would get to him this fast.]

[Private//Unhackable//Video] ahellofabutler August 10 2009, 21:42:53 UTC

[Sebastian isn't looking at the screen, he doesn't want to see Alphonse's face right now. Especially not now.

So he's starring out a nearby window in the entry way, his hands crossed and standing tall.]

You could say that.

[Private//Unhackable//Video] bloodseal_soul August 11 2009, 01:49:08 UTC

[Al's sitting in the stairwell just under the attic, holding the PCD in both hands. A flash of pain crosses his face when Sebastian won't make eye contact.]

Are you angry with me?

[Private//Unhackable//Video] ahellofabutler August 11 2009, 01:55:54 UTC

[Those words made him stand still, slowly allowing his eyes to close before he finally turns towards the screen, though he still keeps his eyes shut and his head bowed lowly.]

Now, Mr. Alphonse. What reason could I possibly have to be angry with you? It's not as if anything had happened without my knowledge now is it?

[Yes, he's playing the guilt card on Alphonse, even if the boy doesn't know it yet.]

[Private//Unhackable//Video] bloodseal_soul August 11 2009, 01:58:22 UTC

[Al set the PCD down, propped against a higher step, turned sideways to rest his chin and hands on his kneecaps, watching Sebastian's face.]

Please don't, Sebastian. I saw you talking to Kamui. I know you know.

[Private//Unhackable//Video] ahellofabutler August 11 2009, 02:02:15 UTC

[As soon as the butler's eyes open, they are drenched in the angry bowls of hell, that color flicking through his eyes as he gave off a rather nasty scowl. It was obvious now, Sebastian was not in a good mood.]

Is that so....

Well then, Mr. Alphonse. I rather hope the two of you the best of luck together in your endeavors. The both of you do make a rather charming couple.

[Private//Unhackable//Video] bloodseal_soul August 11 2009, 02:11:08 UTC

[For a moment, it was as though Alphonse had forgotten to breathe, but unlike a lesser being might, he didn't look away. If he'd caused Sebastian enough pain to merit actual anger... he gravely underestimated the feelings he might have had for him.

Until now he's been convinced that Sebastian simply wanted him. He'd believed Ciel when he said so. After all, Ciel knew him better, didn't he? But if Sebastian felt something...]

...

I care about you, Sebastian. I didn't... I never wanted to hurt you.

[Private//Unhackable//Video] ahellofabutler August 11 2009, 02:16:29 UTC

[Sebastian looked away from the PCD and merely shook his head.]

Don't, Mr. Alphonse. Do not even say those things. I don't want you to say those things anymore.

[He looks back at the PCD with a rather scary face, stern and quite serious.]

Do I make myself clear, Mr. Alphonse?

[Private//Unhackable//Video] bloodseal_soul August 11 2009, 02:24:25 UTC

Yes.

[Al tipped his head forwards, hiding slightly behind his hair, breathing very slowly. There was no outward sign of distress. It might have been shock. His voice was soft, young, the words not entirely blank, though he managed to keep most of the fear out of them.]

... are you going to leave?

[Private//Unhackable//Video] ahellofabutler August 11 2009, 02:30:33 UTC

[Sebastian gave off a sigh of relief that the young boy did not protest to him. He didn't want to hear sweet things come from the boy any longer; he had spent far too much effort and then to be merely thrown completely astray was just....he didn't want to dwell on such things. He was a demon for christ sake, why should he even care about these things?

It was confusing, and that was why he was so damn frustrated in the first place; for once the demon was out of his comfort zone.]

I don't know, Mr. Alphonse. You really have no use for a guardian like me anymore. Mr. Kamui insists he is all you need to protect him, and that is all I am, right? A protectorate?

I am of no further use to you it would seem.

[Private//Unhackable//Video] bloodseal_soul August 11 2009, 02:35:10 UTC

It's not about using you, Sebastian. Not for protection, not for anything. All I've ever wanted was to be around you. You... protected me, yes, but not because I asked you to.

You...

[Al paused, struggling for the right words.]

You were there when I couldn't fall asleep.

[Private//Unhackable//Video] ahellofabutler August 11 2009, 02:47:13 UTC

[Sebastian cocked a brow, turning away from the camera once more and letting a gloved hand run through the tendrils of his hair as he smiled sadistically to himself.]

My, my, is that so? Well now Mr. Kamui is there when you can't fall asleep, that is what a lover is for is it not? To be there for you when you need someone the most?

Humans will always be the same it seems, no matter what century or world. This is why it should never have even crossed my mind; something like this. A relationship between a demon and a human, what a rather remarkable idea that was.

[Private//Unhackable//Video] bloodseal_soul August 11 2009, 02:57:49 UTC

Lovers leave. So do friends, and family. I've watched enough people go to know I can't ever trust in something to be forever.

[Alphonse stared at the camera, willing Sebastian to remember that he had offered forever, and Alphonse had told him it was impossible. For such a tender soul, he's been hurt too much to really trust.]

... this isn't about what you are, Sebastian. If that mattered to me, you wouldn't have been the person I came to when I was hurt. I wouldn't have told you about my past, about what I am. I wouldn't have let you know what I'm afraid of.

[Private//Unhackable//Video] ahellofabutler August 11 2009, 03:04:01 UTC

[This was another reason Sebastian hated conversations like these. Humans always tried to divert around the subject at hand, never hitting the nail directly on the head and just coming out and saying it. The demon was starting to get a little aggrivated.

Perhaps that was why his young master had warned him, and perhaps that was why Ciel was the only person who really understood the cruelties of the world and the things around him.]

Then tell me, Alphonse.....

[The demon spun on his heel, a rather distasteful look on his face. One of anger and perhaps almost on the brink of rage.]

Tell me the reason you even bothered, tell me why you toyed with me and merely played me for a fool when you ran to Mr. Kamui instead of me? You and I both know it is because of what I am, you're afraid of it and as much as you say it doesn't matter to you, it does.

[Private//Unhackable//Video] bloodseal_soul August 11 2009, 03:25:18 UTC

[Al's expression shut down completely at those words. No matter how much he tried to deny it, Sebastian was right. Wordlessly, Alphonse reached up and unbuttoned the neck of his shirt, showing the silvery scars there in the dim light. He pulled it open, undressing, baring more skin than Sebastian had ever seen of his. He shrugged off his coat and his shirt, down to bare skin from the waist up, then kicked off his boot, rolled up his pant leg to show the scar from the crossbow bolt. He tipped his chin up to show the scar just underneath one side of his jaw. He turned up his wrists to show the scars and slashes, his eyes bright with controlled hurt, stunningly like Ciel's, when he's blocking things out.]

The person who did this said he loved me. He cared for me, he held me, he kissed me, he protected me. I willingly let him make these scars. I let him do this. I let him make me his, because he said he loved me.

He said it didn't matter that I was human, but in the end, it did. In the end, he shot me.

[Alphonse paused.]I know what you ( ... )

[Private//Unhackable//Video] ahellofabutler August 11 2009, 09:02:03 UTC

[Sebastian blinked a little as he watched Alphonse undress. What was the boy doing now; he really was hoping that this wasn't a last ditch effort to get Sebastian to come around. Quite ironically, it seemed like the opposite.

Hearing Alphonse's words, Sebastian bowed his head low, his face out of view before something happened; he started to chuckle softly, his chest heaving up and down before he raised his head and let that casual grin fall over his lips, that crazed smile of death.]

Honesty, Alphonse. For once you told me the complete and utter truth. I am glad for that.

And now I will tell you the honest truth. It was never my plan to 'use' you, as much as you may think, you were the only person I have ever thought of more than just a soul to feed on. The young master? Business, I may dot on him from time to time because he is a rather interesting boy for his age and you know what?

He's jealous of you, Alphonse; I can see it in his very core that whenever I spend more time with you than him he gets furious. He believes I have ( ... )
