Love Most Unexpected - Radiodust

Chapter 2 - Breakfast

PS.
If you're wondering, each chapter should be around 1,000 words. ALSO! Terribly sorry there aren't many places to comment. I was experimenting with the first 3 chapters before realizing I had to press enter if I wanted to arrange them properly. 💀

    "RISE AND SHINE!" 
    Angel could hear a muffled shout from the hallway. It was obviously Alastor, prancing through the hotel at, what, 6 am?

    Angel stuffed his face into his pillow and covered his ears, almost completely hidden behind his large, fluffy, pink comforter. Fat Nuggets snorted quietly, raising his head in question to the noise outside. Angel groaned and cursed to himself, rolling over and massaging his temples. He glanced over at his side table where an empty pill bottle lay. Sighing, he sat up and stretched, rubbing his eyes and kicking his legs over one side of the bed. Fat Nuggets hopped up and trotted over to the bedside where Angel sat. 
    "Hey, baby boy," Angel cooed, picking Fat Nuggets up. "You want some breakfast, my handsome man?" Angel grinned at his pig before setting him back down and making his way to Nugget's food bowl. He opened a cabinet containing pet products and food. 

    "Here ya go," Angel said softly, pouring food into the bowl. Nuggets immediately began chowing down and wagging his little tail happily. 
 
    About a half-hour later, Angel had washed up, applied makeup, fixed his hair, and dressed. Opening the door of his room, he jumped.

    "Why hello, my friend! I was just about to check up on you!" 
    The seven-foot figure stood before Angel with a large smile, hands behind his back per usual. 
    "Damn," Angel said. "You're more annoying than my sister, and that's sayin' a lot."
    Alastor smirked, replying, "look who's talking." 

    Angel sighed.
    "Whateva'," he said. "Move, I'm hungry." Angel pushed his way past the deer and walked lackadaisically down the hallway towards the kitchen. Alastor immediately caught up and walked beside him. Angel yawned again. 

    "Someone's tired," Alastor said blandly. He noticed Angel wasn't his usual, lively, amorous self. Angel glanced down at the deer. "Yeah. Jus' goin' through sum' shit's all," he said. 
    "Come now, my friend. We've known each other long enough I could lend an ear to your troubles if you so wish," Alastor said in a surprisingly genuine tone. Angel chuckled. "Nah. I ain't gonna force ya to get involved with my shitty life," he said. 
    "Who said I needed to get involved?" Alastor said, looking up at the taller. Angel had no response and instead changed subjects. 

    "We got any real breakfast around 'ere?" Angel said as the two made their way into the kitchen. Alastor raised his hand to his chin and thought for a moment. "Hmm... well. I could spawn a few ingredients, but today we will have to be our own chefs," Alastor said with a grin. Angel perked up at that statement.
    "We could try a good old Italian breakfast," Angel suggested. Alastor hummed.
    "I'm not quite sure how to cook Italian food, but I think we could manage," he said. Angel chuckled, winking at Alastor. "Don't ya worry your pretty face about that, smiles. I got us covered," he said smoothly. Alastor raised a brow at that statement.
    Ignoring Angel's flirt, Alastor was genuinely curious. "You know how to cook?" Alastor asked in surprise.

    "Oh, you bet your ass I do!"


    Within minutes, Angel was working beside Alastor in the kitchen, sharing the ropes to Italian cuisine. The two worked quite well together. After all, cooking was a hobby they both enjoyed. 





   "...aaand ce l'abbiamo fatta!" Angel said, smiling ear to ear (if he had ears). Alastor looked up at him, admiring his heartfelt smile for once. After a moment, he shot his gaze back down to the counter, realizing what he'd just done. 
    "Perfect," Angel said, looking down at the Fritatta he and Alastor had made. 

    "Wow, it smells good in here! What are you two up to?" Charlie said from the doorway. Vaggie and Husk peered inside, looking over Charlie's shoulder. 
    "Oh! Hey, babes!" Angel said. "I just taught Al how ta make a proper Italian breakfast. Plenty for all of us, if you want some," he said. 
    "Aawww," Charlie cooed. Vaggie had the slightest grin on her face and Husk? Well...


    Husk didn't give a shit. 


    "Don't get any ideas," Alastor said with his brows furrowed. He turned, carefully picking up the Fritatta and carrying it into a dining room of sorts. Charlie and Vaggie giggled, following Husk and Alastor. 
    
    Angel sighed with a grin and closed his eyes for a moment before joining the others. It was a good day so far, and he hoped it'd stay that way. 

    Angel leaned against the wall, arms crossed. He tapped his finger and sighed. Now that breakfast was over, he was bored to tears. "I don't wanna be cooped up in this hotel anymore," Angel muttered to himself. He looked around and thought for a moment.
    "Any of ya wanna take a walk or somethin'? I'm bored as fuck." Angel asked. Charlie looked over before exchanging glances with Vaggie. 
    "Vaggie and I actually had plans of our own today. Sorry, Angel," Charlie said. She felt bad, but Angel didn't mind. 
    "Kay! You two have fun, then," he said with a grin.

    Alastor, who'd been in the room the entire time, glanced up at Angel and thought. He didn't exactly have anything better to do. His morning walk had been replaced by a cooking session, so getting some fresh air couldn't hurt. 
    "I'll go," Alastor said, summoning his staff. Angel looked over at Alastor, pleasantly surprised. "Really?" he said, just to make sure Alastor wasn't toying with him. "Why not?" Alastor said with a grin. "Husker? Would you like to come?" He turned his gaze to the bar where Husk had already fallen back asleep. "Ah... never mind," Alastor said, waving his hand and making his way over to the spider. 

    Angel chuckled and grabbed Alastor's arm, startling the deer. "Come on, pimp!" Angel said, practically dragging Alastor towards the entrance. Alastor's expression was a mixture of surprise and irritation. "Okay, okay!" Alastor said. "I can manage on my own!" 
    He pulled his arm away and stood up straight, fixing his hair.
    Angel smirked as he looked back at Charlie and Vaggie. Alastor stared as if to say, "help. I can't be stuck with him."


    Charlie simply waved with a knowing look on her face. 

    Alastor sighed and rotated on his heel, walking past Angel to the entrance.
