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

Chapter 32

(A/n: there's ✨smut✨ in this chapter, just a fair warning. So, apologies about not posting as quickly as I normally do- I've had damn near crippling headaches for the past week now and needed a night or two to just rest. Normally that wouldn't be an issue seeing as I write these like 6 chapters in advance lol but it was so bad I couldn't even look at my phone for a few minutes let alone edit and write. But doing better today! Fortunately we got a long chapter for yas today, I hope that makes up for the wait-heeeeeeeere we go!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You look beautiful. Positively radiant." Alastor marveled as you adjusted your hair and centered the necklace in the mirror, you were all done up and ready to go for tonight. You looked truly stunning, but, that's no surprise there.

You smiled at his reflection behind you, seeing his eyes glow as he drank in your appearance. "You spoil me." You giggled, turning around to face him and adjusted his bowtie and brushed a piece of his hair from out of his eyes. "And thank you. You look incredibly handsome and dapper yourself, but, you always do."

Shades of peach and pink dusted his ivory cheeks as he smiled warmly at you. "Thank you sweetheart."

To match with you, Alastor had worn a black coat and dress pants instead of his usual red ones, but kept the red button up shirt underneath as well as the red and black bowtie. His hair was pulled back into a low ponytail leaving the fringe in the front in it's usual position. He looked magnificent. You both did.

"Ah! I almost forgot!" He said, waving his hand and summoning a black rose and quickly but carefully weaved it into your hair without disrupting the style you put it into. He then turned you around to face the mirror once more so you could see how it looked.  You couldn't help but blush at his gesture as you admired his handiwork.

"It's gorgeous." You awed.

"Just like you." He cooed, and leaned down to kiss your cheek making you blush even harder. "Come on now we mustn't be late, darling."

"Wouldn't be running late if you hadn't spent the last 10 minutes in the bathroom tweezing your eyebrow after I had finished getting ready." You teased, turning to face him once more and shooting him a playful smirk.

His jaw practically hit the floor. "I have a prominent brow, and I do what I can to get by!" He exclaimed, you giggled at his mild frustration as his microphone stand emanated the sound of laughter as well. "No matter. You're ready?"

"Yes, I'm ready." You grinned, linking your arm around his as he grinned down at you and teleported the two of you to the front doors of the hotel. You could see that some denizens had already arrived, nobody of extreme importance, and everyone was wearing their best and all dressed up for the occasion. Most looked nervous and somewhat alarmed to see you and Alastor (while other's marveled at what an attractive couple you seemed to be), but, they needn't worry. You and Alastor promised Charlie and Vaggie that there would be no bloodshed tonight unless it was 'absolutely, positively, 100% necessary.'

Charlie and Vaggie stood in the lobby greeting guests as they arrived, they looked like a beautiful couple as well. Charlie's hair was half up with the rest cascading down in loose curls, wearing a pale red- almost berry pink dress with white lace bordering the collar of her neck and bottom of the dress. Vaggie's hair was tied back in a braided bun styled to look like a rose, and she wore a lilac purple dress that was open in the back and hugged her figure. You smiled genuinely as you saw them. "They look so pretty!" You whispered to Al as you approached them. He chuckled at your kind words in regard's to them and nodded.

"You two look amazing!!" Charlie said with glee, bouncing on her feet where she stood as she looked at the two of you.

You and Alastor both laughed softly at her excitement. "I was just about to say the same to you!" You smiled at her, allowing her to hug you for a brief moment before pulling back to be with Alastor again. You offered a polite smile and nod at Vaggie as she did the same.
