You'll Never Find Me (Charlastor)

Surprised to see me?

As Charlie came back, she was already in her robe with her nightgown on, and Alastor was already in his red set of plaid pajamas. He was getting a new cover over his wardrobe, he could get a couple covers that his parents used to use but it certainly would be dusty.

He placed them over the bed and looked at her. Now that he saw what he saw, he felt his cheeks warming up in Charlie's presence.

Maybe the idea of sleeping together wasn't good afterall, but now it was too late to refuse.

Charlie approached the bed, and smiled. "Where do you want me to sleep?" She was looking at the bed and Alastor half smirked.

"I don't know where you are used to sleeping, but preferable, on the bed." He chuckled and Charlie giggled rolling her eyes.

"I meant, what side, Al."

"I usually sleep on this side," he nodded, pointing it with a gesture and his nose to the bedside table on the right side with his glasses on.

"Alright." She walked behind him and stopped to whisper in his ear. "It wasn't that hard, was it?" She kissed his neck before proceeding to her side.

"I couldn't hold back, you basically threw the joke at me." He chuckled and walked to his side. Laying down quickly and covering himself.

He turned his face to her, seeing her removing her robe and leaving it over the wardrobe's handle.

Alastor was looking at Charlie, he couldn't not stare at her even though he shouldn't. She was in her nightgown, it was rude of him, but still—

Charlie laid down and covered herself, turning her face to him. She giggled when she saw how he was staring at her.

"Is everything okay, Al?" She questioned with a sweet smile over her face.

"Y-Yes! I'm just— " He blinked at her and frowned a bit, "I don't think this is quite right." He admitted and adjusted his body to face her.

"Hm-"She bit her lip and looked at him, confused. "If you want, I can get get back to my room-"

"Come here;" He opened his arms and pulled her towards him.

At first, she tried to understand what he was doing, and when she did, she jumped into his arms. He adjusted his body against hers and she adjusted her face to be between his jaw and his neck. It fit perfectly.

Holding her in his arms brought a kind of peaceful feeling to him, just like early that day. He enjoyed that quite much.

Charlie felt relieved in his hold, she was afraid he would ask her to go away.

"Better, don't you think?" He whispered over her ear and she nodded. She hugged him tightly and closed her eyes.

The silence took over the entire room and soon they entered their own dreamland.

Alastor and Charlie woke up together, one right after the other. She started to kiss him slowly over his neck and Alastor woke up shivering already. For a moment his head didn't process. He was sleeping with someone in his arms and he just jumped back a little.

Charlie got scared with him and held him closer.

"What happened?! " She widened her eyes. When Alastor noticed it was Charlie, he raised his eyebrows and sighed in relief, chuckling right after.

"I thought, I don't know what I thought actually, I just am not used to waking up next to someone." He laughed and shoved his face over his pillow.
