All is Fair in Love and War (Alastor x Reader)

Chapter 26

(A/n: 😇another smut chapter. I had the time, and I've been itching to write more anyway cause why the hell not 😅😂 but also to make up for tugging on any heartstrings last chapter. Love y'all. So let's carry on, shall we?)

"Just... if the multiverse theory is real, wouldn't that mean that in one of those universes, it isn't real?"

"Alastor, I love you, but it is three o' clock in the morning. I'm exhausted. Please, try to go to sleep." You grumbled into the pillow, pulling the comforter up to cover you more.

"I can't, this is bothering me. And also shouldn't time not exist for us considering we're outside of earth and that realm of the universe? Or is that just something we continued to use here for convenience?"

"I am one more philosophical question away from sleeping on the couch." You rolled over to face your partner and saw him wide eyed, staring up at the ceiling with his hands folded politely on his stomach. You couldn't help but laugh softly at how adorable he was.

"So I better make the next one count?" He teased.

"You really can't sleep, huh?" You hummed, sleep evident in your voice, making one of Alastor's ears flick in your direction. He had loved the sound of your voice as it were, but that soft amount of low gravel and relaxed tone just hit the ear so right.

"I really can't."

"What's keeping you up?" You asked, moving closer and snuggling him.

"I feel as though my mind is running a million miles a minute."

"Well, you unpacked a lot of emotional baggage tonight. My mind wouldn't be able to stop running either." You reassured him, resting your cheek on his arm as you curled up to him and shut your eyes.

"Thank you for listening, by the way. I appreciate you." He said smiling down at you.

You smiled back and sighed lovingly as you nuzzled him with affection. "Anytime my love."

It was quiet for a few moments, without a single peep from Alastor. You breathed deeply and quietly as you felt the comfort of slumber start to overtake you; slipping closer and closer to sleep, welcoming it as fatigue blanketed you.

...

"If tomatoes are a fruit does that make ketchup a smoothie?"

"What the fuck."

~~~~~~~~~~~ smut ahead ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning finally rolled around, you awoke much earlier than Alastor. Probably due to the fact that you eventually just passed out next to him despite him being awake. You felt a bit bad about that, as you did try to stay awake for him just so he wouldn't be lonely, but your body betrayed you and you fell asleep anyway. But he understood.

You rolled over and looked at him as he slept peacefully beside you. Most of his face was buried in a pillow, a subtle neutral smile on his face. His chest moved steadily and evenly as he breathed. You watched for a couple seconds and saw little micro- expressions on his face. An eyebrow twitch here, a nose scrunch there; all of them 'blink and you'll miss it' movements. You smiled lovingly as you looked at him, just grateful for his existence. Careful not to wake him, you leaned over and gently kissed his forehead as he slept, then you quietly got out of bed and tip-toed to the bathroom on the other side of the room.

Another thing Alastor had done prior to you moving in was extending the bathroom to accommodate the both of you; a larger shower and a second vanity mirror and sink. Even gifted you with a coffin shaped makeup shelf that was hung on the wall, just for your belongings. This man is gonna spoil me.
