Teal Deer 003: Icon for shits and giggles.

[corvusaraneae]

So, yesterday, I kept this window open while I was doing my thing with the app that now has 1268 words in his personality section. See, this is the bit I can't include in any app as I would consider this the little personal touch I add to the Frigid Mister Faustus whenever I have to do any work on him. Headcanon and possibly unpopular opinion? Most likely. Take note, this is before he does his whole... heel-face-turn-Cielsexual-I'm-high bit. Think Spider's Intention to a little before the blood frenzy. I can never take him from Nirvana as I can't figure that bit out. Maybe someday.

Alright, here we go. /rolling shoulders, cracking neck

From the get go, he always struck me as a schemer. The silent type. Of course, this in itself is pretty damn obvious but then, the quiet types are always the ones with something on their mind. Externally, they seem to be quiet but under that surface, there's always something. Never a moment's peace. Always a worry, always a plot, always a thought just creeping up to be mulled over and shoved aside for another one. So I always considered him a bit of a thinker. No, quite a lot of thinking going on over there, really. He can never really relax because of this. There's just no time to just set everything aside and have a moment's peace because there's always something to think about. Too many threads in this web so to speak. That, I think is the reason he takes to crochet. It gives him something to focus on so all that scheming doesn't go awry. Because let's face it. It's actually pretty hypnotizing working on a crochet piece if my little home ec story is anything to go by. (I was crocheting and didn't notice my friends were playing catch with my string ball until it got caught in a ceiling fan. Go on, laugh.)

But then Claude at that point has always struck me as a rather private ma-- er... demon. Not one for open outbursts of emotion, not the kind to just... explode into anything. Even in his rage, you can see a growl here, a knot in the brow but never something so intense. Just the usual cool banter but nothing so wild as a sheer declaration of "I'M GONNA KILL YOU! -LUNGES AT THROAT-". As he so puts it in that OAV, he's a person of more action and less words. "An actor must act' and all that. Yes, I know that OAV is obviously not canon but somehow, it strikes me as very much Claude to refuse interviews and just be so... dead set on his work like that.

So moving on to the point of this little ramble. I was starting to mull over just HOW I was starting to interpret this guy and just... kinda justify (partially to myself) that I'm still doing this right.

I'd always figured that he'd still remain that strong, silent figure even if he was in a committed relationship be it Alois or Sebastian. Also, I really can't see him with anyone BUT those two. They bring out feelers. Ciel's just lust, man. There's no feelers there. But as I've rambled on about, I see a different measure of intensity in comparison to how he'd treat them. (Evrae, darling, don't look at me like that. ;;; This is really for comparison's sake!)

Let's face it. His relationship with Sebastian started from animosity so... why would it disappear just because they were mated? That intense animosity, of course, would be channeled somewhere else: an equality intense passion. No doubt the sex is intense. Rough, primal, instinctive sex. Holy crap I think that's gonna bruise is that blood sex. You know what I mean. I see it starting from the crazy sex and then suddenly, bam. It just... changes. He grows attached and somehow, this just kinda works out for the two of them.

But I feel he'd let up with the critique, let up with the banter just a little bit because it's not so much as trying to piss the other guy off now. Just possibly getting his attention and keeping on his toes rather. That and just to keep some of that old banter up. I always thought he appreciated that crow's cleverness.
But he'd have his quiet moments, true. Often, he'd be found just... watching. Observing. I somehow see him leaned against the doorframe of the kitchen, looking thoughtful and just... watching. As if he was trying to memorize everything, every motion, every nuance. It would take a moment to notice and if asked, he'd just shake his head and say it was nothing. Not one for outward displays of affection in public, he'd rather save that for when they were alone. Say, oh, passing the other in the corridor, cupping his chin, stealing a kiss and walking off again? Small things like that. Alright, so that's not really small but you get what I'm trying to get at here, right? But hopefully it's those quiet moments, those times when he's just being a thoughtful frost king that prevent the statement "you're just using me for sex" coming up.

Also, relevant song: Turn the Lights On - Saliva
That just... my feels... and the previous paragraph of him being thoughtful and shit. SOB
I know demons don't really sleep but I just see him in the dark suddenly snuggling close and just... holding him. And GAH MUST WRITE.


* ahem *


Alois... I see going completely in the other direction. While Claude and Sebastian are Ice and Fire, he and Alois are... well... not. I can see a more tender approach coming for the boy. After all, he's always seemed to have a soft spot for Alois before the crazy hit the fan and everything. I've tl;dr'd to Meli about this but it bears repeating if not briefly.

This wouldn't be based on intensity and passion but rather a more careful nurturing. Sex wouldn't be so... much a concern, know what I mean? After all, considering Alois probably wouldn't equate that to love then, it's not much of a gesture. May actually be too commonplace to make it much of a big deal between them.

...I feel I may have more things to say when that song isn't stuck in my head and giving me wrong feelers myself. /sob
Rest assured this thing is going to get repeatedly edited and added to and tl;dr'd about.
