Disclaimer- Bit of a strange chapter. You may choose to proceed.

It was the morning after the big night out. However, Alastor wasn't surprised that by eleven in the morning, all of them were still asleep. It's not like they drank, well I can't say the same for Husk and Angel, but, they did get home quite late. And yes, Angel didn't fall asleep in a random bush. Alastor woke up pretty early and started filling in Charlie's roles for her, not just because they were the most important, but...He wanted to impress her. By eleven- thirty, one person was finally up and of course...That person was Charlie.

"Good morning my Dear! Sleep well?" Alastor popped out behind the counter, making Charlie flinch.

"Holy moly Al! You scared me." She said, gripping her chest.

"Ha! That's not the first time i've heard that." He chuckled, giving Charlie the cup of tea, he had already made for her.

"Oh thanks Al, you're organised this morning. Even more organised then me!" Charlie stated, genuinely shocked.

"I don't think anyone could be more organised then you, Darling." Al smiled, stacking a few loose papers from the counter.

Charlie went and sat on the couch next to the bar and Al joined her, leaving the front desk squeaky clean.

"Wow Al! At this point you're going to put all of us out of our jobs" giggled Charlie.

Alastor froze for a second and started to get a bit flustered. He loved it when she giggled. He had just realised that this was the first time he had been with Charlie, alone, knowing that he had feelings for her. Al soon snapped out of it when he realised Charlie was talking.

"Is there something on my face, Al?" Charlie said, licking her thumb and wiping under her eyes.

"No! Not at all darling. Your face is lovely. The only thing on your face is you're beautiful features." Al rambled. He soon realised when he spaced out, he was staring directly in her eyes, intensely blushing. Which of course, the tired Charlie took no notice to. Why did she never notice?

Charlie yawned and grabbed the couch frova from behind them and wrapped them both up in it (basically they both wrapped up in a blanket). Charlie placed her cup down on the small coffee table next to the couch. Dozing off she snuggled into Al, resting her head on his shoulder. She didn't realise what she was doing to him.

Alastor on the other hand, he was burning up. If any overlord saw Alastor like this they would laugh and call him weak. His face was bright read, his palms were sweaty and his heart was beating faster then ever. He didn't know what to do. This was all new to him, he usually hated this type of attention.

Charlie was still in love with Vaggie so this was nothing romantic to her. If you asked her what she was doing to Al she would say that they were having a 'friendly snuggle.' She liked to do that with Nifty and Angel dust, even Husk from time to time, and was always too scared to do it with Alastor.

Alastor put his arm round Charlie. He tried so hard to not kiss her head. As much as he loved what was happening, he was internally screaming. So he pocked Charlie's squishy, cheeks and whispered to her.

"My dear, I have done most of your work this morning, and I know you're tired...But you have more work to do and it's best to get it over with."

Charlie shot up so fast she fell off the couch, leaving Alastor chuckling a bit and trying to hide his blushing face.
"You're right Al! Gosh I have quite a bit to do."

She folded the frova back up, ran to the desk and checked her work calendar. "There is a document I need to get on Angel to mark down his progress."

"Want me to accompany you?" Alastor said, standing up from the couch.

"Yes actually, you can help me get it." Charlie smiled. "If I recall, it's quite far up..."

They walked out the lobby and up the grand staircase to the first floor. They ended up walking down a very long hall with plenty of different storage units. Al had been down this hall before, however he didn't actually know what was in most of them.

"Here it is." Charlie said, getting out her keys to open the locked unit. The door said 'Unit 35' and was a grey/ blue colour.

Charlie opened the door. The room was tiny! It could hardly fit two people in. Charlie walked in and went to grab the document. Trying to reach up and grab it. By instinct, Alastor went to help. They were both in there, it was a very tight squeeze. It didn't help when the door slammed shut, and locked itself.

Alastor tensed up, he didn't really have any room to move and he realised Charlie was pressed up against him. Charlie jumped up and down to get the document, accidentally rubbing her butt against Alastor.

"Ch-Charlie, can you please stop jumping..." Alastor murmured. His heart pounding faster then ever. Although, his smile never leaving. Sweat beads built up on his forehead.

Charlie went to turn around but realised she didn't actually have any room to turn.

"Hey! What happened?" Charlie exclaimed. Trying to somehow look behind her but was blocked by Alastor large chest and broad shoulders.

"Um...The d-door shut. Darling." Al explained. "Could you maybe not move around too much, my Dear..."

"Why?" Charlie question him. Not knowing what an earth she did wrong. She didn't wait for an answer soon realising why.

"Oh...Okay...No problem...Haha" Charlie said, her cheeks turning a bit pink. "However, can you reach behind you and maybe try and twist open the door?"

Alastor agreed and did as she said. He wanted to get out of their asap. This was really damaging his ego and he didn't want to show his feelings towards Charlie in this particular way. After twisting the door knob around a bit with no luck, he sighed.

"It won't budge, Charlie dear." Al stated. "However, I can teleport us out of here!"

"No you can't...This is a magic free unit room, all of them are. You know so none of the documents get tampered with." Charlie awkwardly chuckled.

"Ha, clever." He replied, trying to break the mass awkwardness.

"No worries, i'll call Vaggie, she has the extra keys to this room." Charlie smiled.

"Al...."

"Yes? My darling."

"My phone is in my back pocket..."

"Oh...Oh dear."
