Demon Love Story

The Nobility

[Author’s note, I just realized that using italics in my text don’t translate in my fic when posted, so from now on…all thoughts and demonic whisperings will be in little //slash thingies//]


Heart was astonished at Christian's words.

"You still wish to work tonight?"

Christian dried the boy's tear stained face and looked into his eyes. "We haven't made much money lately. I have to."

"But that man --"

"Is a demon."

Heart's eyes grew wide and temporarily darkened. "No!"

"It doesn't matter --"

"He could be watching!"

Christian shrugged. "Let him watch." He stroked the boy's hair and smiled as an idea came to him.

"Let's go crazy tonight Heart! Go get some roses and take out the tiger skins!"

Heart laughed. "Okay." He left the room at a jog and Christian went over to his vanity.

He brushed his hair and put it into a high pony tail and lined his eyes with kohl. He rubbed himself down with a lilac scent and but some berry juice on his lips. He took off the linen pants he'd put on earlier and exchanged them for a sky blue wrap. He tied it low on his hips and put on ankle beads and bracelets.

By now, Heart had returned and was tossing rose petals all over and arranging the furs. He'd even managed to find their white tiger fur given to them by a burly North tradesman. He watched Christian and clapped.

"What if no one special comes?"

The older blond took his hands and spun him around the room.

"It doesn't matter! Go put on your white silks and brush out your hair! You're on display tonight as well."

Heart smiled and jumped to please his mentor and friend. Christian lit some candles and began to dance around with a white gauze scarf. Heart came back upstairs and Christian stopped to take him in.

The green eyed boy had put on white silk as told and had brushed out his hair. In the lamps and candles it resembled a wave of golden silk. Heart had even gone so far as to put on white orchid perfume and had put on a silver arm band with spiraling patterns that ran up his arm. Christian noticed the diamond that graced his earlobe and clapped in earnest.

"You're gorgeous!"

The boy giggled and ran to Christian's open arms. "You're beautiful!"

Christian draped the scarf over the boy's hair kisskissed him. "I hope you find some one to take care of you if something ever happens to me..." He cupped the boy's face. "Everyone loves you and Madam will never put you out."

"And you? People love you too. Who will take care of you Christian?"

Christian sighed. "Kalid wants me still...He's a very wealthy merchant now and he said I would be the favorite of his growing harem."

"And me?"

"Madam would let you have my chambers. Look at Corsica. Madam didn't make her move out. No came for her and besides, we need her. She makes all of our clothes --"

"I want to go with you!"

Christian quit smiling. "Kalid would use you every night. I told you, you are not having that life."

'Then...we could have our own place! Maybe Madam would let us both stay?"

"Maybe..."

The door chime sounded and two guards came in. They stood sentry at the door as two hooded figures came in.

Christian whispered to Heart. "Now is the time to flee
T
The two men uncloaked and revealed themselves to be nobility. The younger one was raven haired with a roguish smile. He had a nicely trimmed goatee, blue eyes, and stood with an arrogant posture. The older one, not far in age from Christian, was also raven haired, but had shoulder length hair and was clean shaven. He ran an eye over both of them and smiled. Heart flushed red as the younger one held his gaze.

"Heart...?" Christain whispered.

"I'll...stay..."

The other noblesed sed his cloak on the floor. "I am Argos. This is my cousin, Farras."

The youth winked at Heart and Heart looked away smiling. Argos grinned.

"He's just turned twenty."

"Happy birthday..." Heart whispered.

Farras approached him. “What’s your name?”

Heart looked to Christian and the man nodded.

“Farras, Heart is sixteen. He’s…new at this.” Christian’s tone grew serious. “If he is hurt or injured…Madam carries enough power to have you castrated.” He smiled at Argos. “He’s like a son to me.”

Argos nodded. Farras was already making nice with Heart.

“You’re beautiful…”

“I’m young…” Heart said shyly. “There’s…another place, down stairs…if –”

“Certainly.” Farras grinned and followed Heart.

The two youths left the room and Christian smiled at Argos.

“I’ll make sure he gets home alright.” Christian started to turn away, but Argos took his arm.

“What’s the matter? Am I not worthy of your attentions?”

Christian looked at Argos’s guards and indicated that they could leave. Argos made a simple motion and they left quietly.

“Anything else?”

“You’re arrogant…” Christian paced around him. “Put your cloak on a hook and tell me a story…”

Argos picked up his cloak and put it on a hook. “If I tell a story, will you dance for me?”

Christian smiled and danced over to the bed. He sat down and crossed his legs.

“We’ll see.”


Downstairs, heart was purring in Farras’s arms. The twenty year old was running his hands in Heart’s hair and kissing his neck.

“You’re so beautiful…”

“Uhn…” Heart sighed and leaned to kiss Farras. They kissed for some time when Farras finally stopped him.

“Remove your clothing.”

Heart hesitated and Farras took off his own shirt. Heart bit his lip and looked away.

“Do I displease you?”

“No…” Heart went ahead and took off his pants. Farras watched him closely.

“So, they don’t castrate male whores. How interesting.”

Heart frowned. “We aren’t whores. We’re courtesans –”

Farras grabbed Heart’s face. “You are a whore and I paid for you!” His eyes darkened to a familiar black.

//And besides, using this noble to teach you a lesson with teach you some respect boy! //

“No!” Heart yelled, struggling harder. He tried to push away but Farras back handed him. His eyes had returned to their sky blue.

“Shut your mouth!” he began to undo his pants. “You are a whore!”

He tried to force himself on Heart, but the boy struggled harder than ever.

“CHRISTIAN!!!!” he screamed.

Upstairs, Christian was playing keep away with his customer. Despite the fact that Argos had his arms pinned, he still refused to submit.

“My weapon, wench.”

“My scarf, Ruffian!” he gave a laugh but froze as he heard Heart’s scream.

They both jumped up and ran down stairs. Farras had Heart on his knees and was about to commit rape. Christian tackled him and pulled him away from the boy.

“Bastard! thr threw him into a wall and went to inspect his young charge.

“Heart? Dear heart?”

“He called me a whore. We’ourtourtesans and he grabbed me and he hit me. I don’t want him anymore!”

Argos was hauling Farras up by his hair. “I bring you here and you assault one of the employees?! Madam and my brother will hear of this!”

He looked to Christian. “I apologize Christian. I hope –”

“He won’t be allowed back…but…I still want my scarf back.”

Argos smiled and dragged Farras away. Christian kissed and cradled Heart until the boy calmed dow
“
“Never again my Heart…”

“He acted so nice!” Heart began to cry again.

“Shh…shh…you didn’t know.”

Heart put his clothes back on and cuddled with Christian. “Will he be back?”

“Never. Argos…might though.”

Christian nodded. “You’ll be fine down here. I’ll ask Donovan downstairs in the kitchens to bring you tea.”

Heart shook his head. “No…”

He crawled away and curled up on some pillows. “I want to be alone please…”

“Alright…” Christian went back upstairs. Argos waited.

“I’m sorry.”

“To tell you the truth, Heart wasn’t trained for this. I’ve kept him away from it… it’s just that…tonight he said he wanted to try so…”

“I understand.” Argos stroked Christian’s face. “I hope you don’t think of me as bold, but…you are very beautiful. How old are you?”

“Older than your cousin.”

The noble grinned. “So…where i kni knife?”

Christian shrugged and walked away towards the bed. Argos started to rush ahead of him, but Christian snatched up the sheathed blade and ran across the room.

“Wench…” Argos said warningly.

Christian went up to Argos and held the knife out. “Scarf, you beast.”

Argos snatched the knife and kissed Christian swiftly. “No scarves for you, disobedient child.”

** *Wel*Well, I guess, this was more like an inude…ude…we have some new characters, yay, just so you know, Farras will never be back and no, he wasn’t Lazerus incarnate, but Lazerus did sort of place Farras there. Good thing he didn’t succeed huh?
