Well I'm upset. I was gone for so long that ALL of my files and saved stories and such were deleted by the website... If anyone knows how to bring those back, if possible, please let me know! Anyways, I really need to make it up to all of you with SOMETHING so... here we go... Also, this felt longer when writing it then it actually is so please don't hate me for the length DX

Snake wasn't really sure what to expect the morning he woke up; he just knew that he wasn't looking forward to it. The day went by rather uneventful, though Sebastian had failed to let him know that Ciel was leaving that day. All of the servants were racing around, Finny carefully preparing flowers for Elizabeth, Bard accidently burning down the kitchen once again, and Mey-rin dusting shelves and breaking plates. Snake himself was busy avoiding Sebastian and carefully shoving luggage into the back of a carriage for the betrothed couple.

Ciel gave him a calm good-bye, whispered something to his butler that not even Snake's perfect hearing could catch, and left. Just like that, Snake was doomed to probably about a week of torture with Black… Er, Sebastian…

Much later that day, Snake had somehow been able to avoid Sebastian for the majority of the day with the set job of helping Bard clean up the kitchen- which the tall blonde man had about talked Snake's ear off with only half of the small teen's attention. Yet now, in the present, Snake timidly sits on the edge of his bed, knowing that any moment now that door he's been staring at will open. And behind it will stand the ebony haired butler…

Speak of the Devil and he shall appear.

The door opened seconds after a soft knock was heard, leaving Snake to tense up even worse. "Hello, Snake. Have you prepared yourself for our first lesson?" the teen quickly stood, giving a curt nod though he was feeling rather light-headed. "Very well." He entered the room and closed the door, never looking away from Snake, as if he were prey… which at this point, Snake was kind of feeling like he was...

Sebastian slowly approached Snake, whom took a single step back before the back of his legs hit the edge of the bed. Long before this all of his friends were cleared from the room by Sebastian, who insisted they would "be a distraction from our lessons." Whatever that meant, Snake was clearly upset by this but got no response from it other than a dark chuckle.

Sebastian didn't seem to care that Snake obviously wished to resist whatever was about to happen as he continued to approach until he was incredibly close, only a few inches in-between their bodies. Snake still refused to speak, even to voice his displeasure, which slightly irritated Sebastian, but he ignored it for now. "Now, Snake…" He leaned that smallest bit closer to help freak out the shorter male, whose eyes widened a fraction.

"To be…" Snake was feeling endangered.

"A…" Yet intrigued.

"Phantomhive servant you must learn to stand up straight!" Wait, what?

Sebastian suddenly pulled Snake away from the bed, throwing him into the middle of the room and giving him a hard, painful slap on the back. Well, that definitely made him straighten up. Letting out the quietest squeaks of pain, Snake threw his hands to the side to try to balance himself better, stopping himself from grabbing onto Sebastian. He managed to scrape himself off the floor and stand as straight as possible, raising his chin up and giving a stoic look to try to appear more professional to the elder male.

"Very good, Snake! Next you must learn to speak loudly and clearly. And without your pets." At the slight twitch Snake gave at 'pets', Sebastian mockingly corrected himself. "Ah, I apologize. Your 'friends.'" Oh you sneaky-

"Tell me, Snake, what do you think of this?" The silver haired boy didn't get to do anything before Sebastian was suddenly behind him, gloved hands on clothed shoulders. Even with the small bit of contact it had Snake flinching and attempting to pull away; of course though, Sebastian wouldn't allow this and firmly held him in place. "You can't resist. You must speak." Snake kept quiet, much to the butler's displeasure.

In an attempt to force Snake into making any sort of audible noise, unlike the pained squeak when he was pulled, Sebastian used his teeth to remove the glove on his right hand. Making sure that his tattooed hand was still covered, he moved his cold fingers to lightly graze against Snake's bare neck. The teen shivered in the demon's grasp, an ever so slight hitch in his breath barely loud enough to be heard by even Sebastian's superb hearing.

At this point Snake was shaking, his hair antenna moving along with him almost comically. Sebastian lightly grazed over a patch of scales, pleased with the slight tilt of the head that came with it. Snake actually moved so that it was easier for the demon to touch him, whether that was on purpose or not, he wasn't sure. He allowed his gloved left hand to run along Snake's side until resting on his hip, and then pushed his right hand underneath the cloth covering the teen's chest.

"Do you enjoy this, Snake?" He got no response, just defiant silence. "You must tell me what you want…" he whispered lowly in Snake's ear. His cold hand ran across a rather sensitive part of Snake's body, across pink flesh nubs and silver-y scales before he pulled his hand away with the sound of loudly hitched breath. The snake-human didn't seem to know what was happening as he held a slightly perplexed look, whether Sebastian could see it or not with his chest against Snake's back. Sebastian smirked at the reaction, but was still irritated by the teen's resistance.

The demon skillfully opened the front of Snake's coat and shirt, continuing his administrations to the boy's chest. He frowned at the painfully apparent ribs, "You really should stop sharing so much of your meals with the snakes…" Snake actually gave a quiet groan/hum in response and though this kind of surprised Sebastian, he was disappointed that it wasn't words. "I'll simply continue if you don't tell me to stop." He gave it a minute, but was met with silence so he continued, as promised.

"Wa-Wait…" Oh! Finally! "Yes?" Sebastian stopped moving, letting Snake speak if willing.

"…" Very well then. He was about to start back up when a loud clock started from somewhere within the mansion, it must've been extremely late if Snake wasn't usually awake to even know of its existence. He felt Sebastian sigh against his neck, making him shiver once again as the hands left his body.

"I'm afraid I must end this lesson, as it's time for me to work." At what ungodly hour? Snake wanted to question this but felt too light-headed to do anything. "I will see you tomorrow, Snake." And just like that, he exited the room, leaving the boy to collapse onto the bed, shirt open and skin feeling colder than usual where he was touched.

He hoped his friends would be allowed back in the morning. They would be willing to listen to his feelings.
