Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 40

Here's daddy long legs

Fawn's POV

The broadcast went as usual, his normal reports and stories being told. I watched him intently, noticing how he would adjust things or give a look to the sound people every once in a while.

When there would be a break in the news, songs would play over the radio and he would use that time to show me certain things.

He would explain the dials and switches, showing me what they did and telling me when to use them.

By the end of the morning segment, I was exhausted. I understand why he drinks so much coffee now.

Leaning back into my chair, I sighed. Alastor must've found this amusing, because I heard him snicker, "a lot of work, my dear?" He asked me, earning a glance from me.

Then I let my eyes close, "yea...it's all so interesting, though, you really know what you're doing," I said, complimenting his sheer knowledge of everything in this room.

I'm convinced he would turn into a radio if he could.

"Yes indeedy! I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, cher..." his voice turned softer and I felt the back of my chair lean back as he looked over me.

A smile quirked my lips and I opened my eyes, seeing him standing directly above me now with a big smile per usual.

We shared a silent moment, looking into each other's eyes before he spun my chair around.

"Alrighty, dear! Break time, then we'll be back for the afternoon segment, and home before you know it!" He chirped, taking my hand to help me up.

I giggled, "ok, sounds good...hey, is there any coffee I can have?" I asked as he started leading me out of the booth.

"Of course! It's in the break room, I'll show you where it is," he hummed, escorting me down the hallway towards a closed door that had the words 'Break Room' engraved into it.

He was humming all the way there, not helping me with my tiredness. If anything, he was lulling me further into a relaxed state.

When he revealed the room to me, I was surprised to find it just looked like a regular break room. Actually, it was really similar to the one back at my old job.

I'm not sure what I was expecting.

"Over there, dear, have as much as you'd like...and the cream and sugar are right there as well. I think I'm going to step out for a moment and grab us something to eat, do you care for anything specific?" He asked, looking down at me.

I shook my head, smiling up at him.

He nodded, "ok, well, I'll be back shortly," he said, rubbing his hand over the small of my back gently.

Before he could leave, I grabbed the front of his suit and tugged him back towards me. Quickly I made sure no one was around before I raised to my tippy toes and gave him a kiss on the lips.

The noise he made was surprised, then he smiled against my lips and kissed me back.

It lasted much longer than I'd originally anticipated, but I wasn't going to complain.

We parted slowly, me lowering myself back down before I straightened out his suit that I'd partially placed askew.

"Don't be long," I said quietly, as if someone were around to hear us. He shook his head.

"I won't be...when I get back, we'll eat and finish up the day," he stole another very quick kiss, "and then I get you all to myself," he purred quietly.
