Claude And Alois Shorties ♥

The Little Baker (Modern AU)

"Are you kidding me? " 

The spider butler gestured to the mess in front of him, looking rather angry about it. Plates were broken,  chairs were flipped, various dessert mixtures were strode across the room, flower drenched the kitchen table, and there was even some kind of jam smeared across the door. How in Hell he had managed to do that, Claude would never know. 

"It's almost 2 in the morning... you should be in bed...and I just cleaned this room not even an hour ago."

The blonde boy in front of him looked up, his eyes filling with tears as he hated to get in trouble with Claude. He had on a small, messy apron over his pajamas and his beautiful blonde hair seemed a little rustled. Even when the spider wasn't that angry, it tore Alois up that he was disappointed or irritated with him. After all, there was nothing he wanted more than to please Claude, he was all the little earl really had left.

"Please, don't be angry with me..." 

Alois let out an apologetic whimper, staring up with wide eyes. Claude brought a hand up to his face and let out a long sigh, closing his eyes and furrowing his brow with irritation. 

"Tell me how this happened and what in the Hell you were doing. Now."

"Euuuuhh...."

Alois let out a sound of hesitation, trying to decide whether or not he should say anything at the moment. He finally opened his mouth to speak, tears beginning to roll down his face in fear that his butler would be angry with him. 

"I-I was trying to bake, a-and..."

"Bake? Bake what?"

Claude opened his eyes, keeping them narrow to stare down at the boy.

"A cake! A cake... I was trying to make a cake..."

"Why were you trying to bake a cake?"

 Alois wiped his eyes, trying desperately to act tough. 

"For you! It was for you..."

Claude said nothing back, but he kept a glare locked on the boy, asking him to continue. 

"Because you make me desserts and stuff all the time... And I just wanted to try it, I wanted to make you something too... When I watch you do it, you make it look so easy, but I-I just..."

Before he could finish, Claude kneeled down and a large hand met the blonde's jawline, roughly tilting his head up so his eyes met his butler's. Claude's face dropped it's angry look, but his expression was still stern as he stared down at the young earl.

"...Was the mess necessary?" 

Alois shook his head a little, the tears in his eyes beginning to dry up.

"I suppose not... I just... Got a little carried away...I'm... um... I'm sorry..."

Alois blushed and looked away from the spider butler, holding his hands together and twiddling his thumbs nervously. Claude sighed a little and let go of the blonde's jaw, looking past him at the mess he'd made. 

"Your Highness...It's very late. You need to get some rest. I'll clean up this mess..."

Alois looked down and hesitantly wrapped his arms around the back of Claude's neck, his little arms trying as hard as they could to reach around the spider. Claude sat there for a moment with an irritated face before wrapping his arms around the blonde's little body.

"What is this for...?"

"I-It's an apology... I just really wanted to make you happy, because you always make me happy... I-I promise, I tried..."

 Claude shifted the position of his hands so that his left was on his lower back and his right was between his shoulder blades. He picked the blonde up gently, straightening his back out as Alois quickly wrapped his legs around the butler's abdomen instinctively. He didn't question the butler's action, but simply went along with it, taking it as acceptance of his apology. He gently set his chin against Claude's shoulder, letting out a gentle sigh. 

"Let's go to bed, Your Highness..." 

Alois nodded a little, leaning his head off of Claude's shoulder to look him in the eyes.

"Do you forgive me?"

Claude simply gave a gentle kiss to his master's head, holding him tighter. 

"It's okay, Your Highness... we'll make a cake tomorrow, as long as I'm supervising and you don't make another mess..." 

Alois giggled at the statement and gave a bright smile, his cheeks turning red at the kiss after he tightened his grip on Claude, nuzzling his neck gently.

"No promises.~"

Ew.

I hate how that turned out.

I only wrote this because I wanted to see if I could do anything Claude-ish.

I obviously can not. X""D
