***Huskers Point of view***
  It was strange to see alastor start to drink as heavily as he is, but from what I've seen, his nightmares have been getting worse and worse, and he feels like getting black out drunk will help him through the night, in a way it has been helping but he gets aggressive with everyone except me and it's scary.  I've tried to stay sober for him but this, this is making me yearn for the rush of being drunk.
  "Angel you better leave me alone unless you wanna get hurt" I hear alastor say in a drunken slur and growl, Angel has been trying to help him for days now, but there isn't any use.
  "But al, it isn't good for you to be drinking like this" Angel says, clearly worried about him then, the sound I've always been worried about, the sound of a glass bottle shattering and angel screaming, not in pain but he was startled and I quickly go to the bar area.
  "You two, separate, I'm not going to have a damn fight ok, angel go up to your room and I'll talk to him, alright" I say, glaring in alastors direction, my voice was raised and angel nods, going to his room and I go to sit next to alastor and he reaches for another glass and when he pulls it to himself I pull it from his grasp.
  "I think you've had enough to drink now" I say, making sure he doesn't get the drink back, I know how this addiction is and alastor seems to have his walls crumbled and he wanted the bravado and it was clear, and he puts his head on the bar and tears start to roll down his face.
  "Oh, love, it's fine, I'll never leave you, I'll be right by your side, always." I say and puts a hand on his back and hide his slumped form with a wing as he sobs and I sigh.
  "This is all so so much, I've seen the horrors of extermination day and I don't want you to be caught by an angel, I just can't deal with the thoughts that it will happen and I just can't deal with it" al finally sobs out after I moved him to the couch, this is the most emotional I've ever seen him lately, I keep my arms around him and he keeps sobbing, I try to comfort him, telling him that this might be a sign that extermination day is getting closer and closer.
***Alastors point of view***
  He was right, Husker was right, extermination day was getting closer, I had started drinking bad, to drown the fear and pain, the hang over has been awful but luckily husker has been there taking care of me during extermination day through the hangover.
  "Thank you baby, for taking care of me through all of this" I say a bit groggily because I was feeling bad due to being hungover.
  "No problem love, now rest, you need it and I know that you need it" husker says, moving his head to be under mine and he starts to purr when I start to pet him.
