Alastor refused to let go of Angel. He couldn't, he didn't want him to go anywhere, that was too close, too close to him losing the only things he ever felt real emotions for. He was to special for Alastor to lose him, he couldn't let that happen.
"Angel... Why-please... Don't ever leave... Me Again-" He mumbled into Angels ear. Tears poured down his eyes and Angel felt them land on his ruffled fur.

Angel felt really guilty, he didn't mean to, well... Did he? He might have done it anyway, the fact that it was an accident was just pure coincidence. If Alastor hadn't been there, who knows what he could've done to himself. Seeing Alastor cry made him feel even guiltier, he didn't want to hurt Alastor, he didn't know anything could break that smile. He held on to Alastor, hearing shouted from the crowd below that couldn't see what was happening anymore.

Alastor let go of Angel after a while,
"Why would you ever do- such a ... Terrible act." He said static forming around him. Angel was speechless,
"It was... Just an accident! You started me...." He said, it was true though! Sort of, he didn't know if he would've or wouldn't have if Alastor hadn't started him.
"Bullshit, you- you were thinking about it.... I can't believe you..." Alastor said looking away from the demon, why was he like this. Angel wanted to say something, prove him wrong, but he was right, he was thinking about it.

Angel then felt a small rage,
"Ya can't believe me?! It ain't my fault I've had to live with this for like eva now!" Angel said with a scoff, he was blaming him for trying to kill himself! But in that moment his body felt like it wasn't his own... Alastor sighed,
"Do you know what I would've done if I lost you! Angel please think about how others would feel if you attempted that successfully, we would be destroyed without you..." He said holding Angels hand in a pleading way. Angel knew no one would care anyway, he scoffed at Alastor,
"Oh please! Y'all are all better off without me anyway! Don't you wanna lose some dead weight?!' he shouted pushing his hand off him. He realised what he said and put his hand over his mouth, he couldn't believe he said that out loud.

Angel felt tears in his eyes, he quickly blinked them away. Alastor tried to touch Angels arms but Angel jumped and moved away, protect yourself... You'll just hurt even more if you let him get close to you... The voice said to him. He believed it fully, he had never been in a relationship that hadn't ended up in a broken heart and broken bones... He couldn't let himself be hurt again, and he couldn't hurt Alastor, he had already ruined Alastor's afterlife with just his presence, he didn't want to do more damage by starting a relationship.

"How dare you..." Alastor said, static forming around them. His smile had returned, well... Not really. It was a shaky smile that looked like it was about to break and Alastor looked absolutely enraged, Angel shook in fear, what was he going to do to him, and what had he done in the first place?
"Don't you ever say that about yourself, I adore you Angel, I know I'm not very forward when it comes to this but I mean it. I would be lost if you left me." Alastor said grabbing his chin and pulling it up so Angel could see him as he spoke, his final tears fell down his eyes as he kissed Angel. He then left without another word, he used his foot to push the plate towards Angel, and then he entered the elevator just like that.

Angel was left speechless, Alastor had never shown that kind of affection since he had met him, and they had known eachother for quite some time now. Angel picked up the food, the least he could do was eat, for Alastor, which he knew was probably really upset. He didn't know what to feel, he felt terrible about Alastor, it was almost like insulting himself was like a stab in the heart for Alastor, he regretted it. Another thing he messed up, he shook his head, stop it with the pity party! You need to set things at least partly right, for both of your sakes.

He finished the now cold food on the plate and went to the ledge to see what all the noise was about, the crowd gasped in shock seeing Angel once more, he grunted annoyed. He threw the apple encrusted plate down at the crowd,
"Mind yer own god damn business!" He shouted and watched the crowd slowly grow smaller and eventually disappear. He smirked at the sudden quiet, he liked it when he did something about creeps watching him, it gave him a sort of power.

He turned around and pressed the elevator button, hopping in the elevator and going to where he presumed Alastor was, his room. The elevator arrived with a ding and Angel stepped out, walking down the hall and arriving at a very familiar door, he looked at the deer skull knocker and very gently, and hesitantly knocked it three times. He heard grunting from behind the door,
"Yes? Who is it." Alastor said trying to seem normal, Angel could hear the sadness and annoyance in his voice,
"Uhh, it's me..." Angel said awkwardly, trying to open the door but to no avail. Alastor sighed and the lock clicked open.

Angel slowly opened the door and peated in, the room looked as neat as ever, his coat folded on a chair beside his bed were Alastor sat, facing away from Angel. Angel eyes him nervously, he looked around the room, his staff was placed against the mirror and aside from the unnatural feeling in the room, everything seemed ordinary. Alastor's ears were droopy and twitched a little as Angels boots made a little clicking sound as he steeped closer to the bed,
"I'm sorry... Okay? I just- I didn't know how it would affect ya..." Angel said truthfully, putting his hand on Alastor shoulder as he made his way round the bed to sit next to Alastor. He refused to look at the spider demon, Angel sighed, hoping for a response from the other demon,
"I don't understand, how could someone ever commit to such an act..." Alastor finally turned around to face Angel, his smile had vanished and he now wore in unnatural frown with confusion in his eyes. Angel tried to find the words,
"I don't know hon... Just- things are to much for someone sometimes, it just seems like an easy escape I guess." Angel simply said, wiping the trace of a tear forming in Alastor's beautiful crimson eyes.

Alastor thought for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Angel was saying to him, he finally spoke,
"But, why? That wouldn't solve anything... Just would cause more misery for loved ones, the instant regret you would feel as you collided with the ground, you wouldn't be ever be peaceful, just miserable in the darkness known as death..." Alastor said. Angel was taken aback a bit, he had never thought of it like that, to say the least. He thought about the words, the blackness known as death. He was right though, you would never be at peace. What would come after that anyway?
"Your right, but sometimes bad thought cloud rational thinking I guess..." Angel mumbled, Alastor could just about hear him and nodded agreeingly.

The two sat in silence, Angel looked down at himself, the damage he had done to his body, he couldn't go on like this, but he couldn't end it, not now that he had someone like Alastor, who cared about him, lived him. His knight that came to save him when the darkness closed in,
"Just promise me... Please, that you'll always fight those thoughts, for me darling... Please?" Alastor asked, staring deep into Angels soul. Angel smiled and leaned into Alastor, Alastor held him in his arms in a way that said, your safe.
"Yes, I'll do it, but only for ya babe... I love ya." He added to the final bit making Alastor blush. Angel could feel his sudden tensed position but it quickly went away as Alastor relaxed,
"I love you too..." Alastor said, running his hands through Angels hair.

The two stayed like that, holding eachother. Not realising that they slowly leaned into the bed and never let go of eachother. Eventually, obviously, Angel fell asleep on Alastor, and then Alastor fell asleep to, the whole time still holding eachother. Assuring eachother they were safe, that they wouldn't leave eachother. They would care for eachother till the seven rings collapse.

Meanwhile the others wondered where the two had gone. It didn't take long for everyone to realise that they presence of Alastor and Angel was missing and the lobby became quieter than usual. Alastor just had gone up to give Angel his food, since as they assumed he didn't come down for dinner, and he just hadn't come back, it had been almost two hours! For a while a small crowd had formed around the hotel, Charlie didn't have a clue as to why, they seemed fascinated about something that was going on. If only Alastor had seen it, Charlie would tell him tommorow, assuming he had probably gone to his room and wasn't going to be out till tommorow morning. That's what she assumed anyway, she hadn't seen him anywhere else in the hotel and she knew for a fact he wasn't in Angels room, or with Angel for that matter. She chuckled at the thought, Angel and Alastor, hanging out? As friends obviously, she couldn't even imagine the thought of the two dating, it was simply impossible, right?

Little did she know that there they were, sleeping by eachother, comforting eachother, Alastor had saved him, and Alastor loved him too. Who would've known, that in this crazy world known as hell, full of murderers, abusers and so much crime and fake love. Would be these two, the most uncommon couple in the whole of hell.

(Wow this was a deep one, I think I went a bit to far with that. Anyways I hope you enjoyed, things are just going to get darker from here, but at least these two will be here for eachother. They are just so cute together!!! Don't you think? I love it, I hope you did too. Everyone have a great day!! Love you all!!!💖💖💖)
