Notes: This is the September Live Long and Marry fic for Misura.
How does one go about courting a demon lord? Not just any demon lord, but their own? Traditionally, it was unheard of for a servant to court his lord. If anything like that should happen, it would be the other way around, and even then it would be less a courtship and more an order.
Eclipse tapped his quill over his parchment, ignoring the inkblots that appeared. It was not uncommon for a lord to require such activity from his servant. Raenef VI and Eclipse had often engaged in sexual interaction. Raenef would never request my services in such a way. The thought was comforting - that Raenef would never take advantage of his station and demand meaningless sexual congress was endearing - but also somewhat annoying.
Eclipse wanted Raenef. He wanted to be able to hold him, to show him what it could be like. He craved the young demon lord with such fervor that it startled him at times. Surely, he was being selfish. He was Raenef’s closest confidante. They lived together at the castle and were rarely separated and never for very long. And yet, he wanted more.
A loud crash from the hallway startled Eclipse from his thoughts and he stood up from his desk, nearly tipping his chair over in his haste. “Raenef?” he called, going over to the door and opening it.
“Eclipse, make her stop!” Raenef came running through the hallway and vaulted towards Eclipse, colliding with him painfully.
“Hold still!” Erutis yelled, holding a frilly dress up. “You think it so easy to wear this thing, you try it!”
“Eclipse, help me!” Raenef hid behind Eclipse, peaking around him at the enraged Erutis. “You said I could call you ‘sis’, I thought we were family!”
“Sisters do this kind of thing to their brothers all the time!” Erutis said, waving the dress threateningly. “So c’mere, little brother!”
Eclipse rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Erutis, Raenef didn’t mean whatever insult you’ve apparently taken from him,” he said, and could feeling Raenef nodding his head frantically.
“I-I didn’t Erutis, I swear!” he said. “It was all Chris’ fault anyway, he was the one that started it. And he said the only time you looked like a girl was when you wore a dress, and only because only girls wear dresses!”
“What?!” Erutis exclaimed and Eclipse could practically see the flames in her eyes. “I’m gonna kill him! I’m going to strangle him until he’s unconscious and then put him in this dress and parade him around the temple!” She ran back the direction she came, drawing her sword as she did so.
Eclipse turned, a small smile on his lips as he watched Raenef pant and wipe his forehead. “You’re a demon lord,” he said. “She can’t possibly do anything to you and yet you run.”
Raenef shook his head. “She was going to make me wear a dress!” he exclaimed, before looking around curiously.
Eclipse watched him for a moment before realizing that, though he’d been in Raenef’s bedroom several times, Raenef had never been in his. Face coloring slightly, he went back to his desk, though he didn’t sit down.
“What are you doing?” Raenef looked at his desk. “You’ve got a mess here!” Eclipse belated realized that the parchment he’d been writing had ink all over it. “Here,” Raenef said, pulling a small, pale green cloth out of the folds of his clothing. “Let’s see if we can clean this up a bit.”
“It’s fine,” Eclipse said, although he didn’t stop Raenef from attempting to clean up the ink.
“What were you doing?” Raenef looked up at Eclipse, blue eyes wide, and Eclipse’s earlier thoughts were immediately brought back to mind. He glanced away, needlessly straightening his already immaculate desk.
“Nothing,” he said. “I was just…preoccupied.”
Raenef cocked his head to one side. “About what?”
Eclipse wanted to tell him. He wanted to press against him and whisper in his ear before pulling him to the bed and showing him.
No. That wasn’t at all proper. So Eclipse smiled at Raenef, tousling his hair fondly. “It’s of no great importance,” he said, the lie sour on his tongue. “Don’t trouble yourself, My Lord.”
Raenef blinked and smiled. “Okay, Eclipse,” he said. “But remember, I’m always here for you if you need help. I’m the mighty Raenef the V, Demon Lord Extraordinaire now!” He adopted a victory pose for just a moment before grinning up at Eclipse. “Okay? I don’t want you to hide any of your problems from me, no matter how silly they seem.”
How could the boy be so helplessly charming? As if unable to help himself, Eclipse brought his hand up and cupped Raenef’s cheek, bending down so that they inches apart. “You are so dear to me, Raenef,” Eclipse murmured. “Far dearer than any before. How could I imagine keeping anything from you?”
Raenef stared at him. “Eclipse?”
Eclipse took hold of Raenef’s hand and ghosted a kiss against his knuckles. “Everything that I am is yours,” he said, golden eyes dark as he stared at Raenef. “Me, my heart, everything is yours, My Lord. Forever and always.”
Raenef stared at him for a moment, dumbfounded, before smiling. “I love you too, Eclipse!” The words came so easily, so quickly, so unexpectedly, that Eclipse could only stare for a moment, eyes wide.
“You…what?” He doesn’t understand. I’m going to have to explain my desire. But Raenef surprised him once again by leaning forward and pressing their lips together in a chaste kiss. He pulled back, cheeks flushed with either embarrassment or desire - Eclipse wasn’t sure - and smiled.
“I really do!” he said, before stepping back, pushing his hair off his forehead self-consciously, suddenly looking wholly unsure of himself. “Uhm…I need to go help Chris,” he said after a moment. “Erutis is either going to put him in the dress or strangle him and either of those will kill him.” Without waiting for Eclipse to reply, he hurried out of the room.
Eclipse walked over to his desk and sat, back ramrod straight as he stared down at the blotted ink, before a grin broke out across his lips. Despite his normal reservations, his usual level-headedness, he couldn’t help the elation coursing through him. It wasn’t the white-hot passion, the intensity he craved - not yet - but it was a start.
It was definitely a start.
