Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 53

Today's song goes with our chapter. This is Mindy's character song...I have a song for each character, but this is the only chapter that really warranted it.
And if I pick a song for a chapter, it's all ab the lyrics...so if you choose to listen, listen close!

"How could you do this to me."

Fawn's POV

I was sitting in Alastor's office chair, nibbling on a Hershey bar as I played with one of his fidget toys.

They're honestly kind of similar to the fidget toys from 2022, and I'd been occupying myself with them for around an hour now.

The candy bar was just something I'd seen while we were getting lunch and I begged Alastor for it.

Not like I had to, the moment I expressed interest in it he offered to buy me the entire box.

I declined, although it was a tempting offer.

He even bought himself some candy...granted, it was black licorice, but still!

Religiously, I flipped the small switch on this toy back and forth, my eyes glued to it like it was going to do something interesting.

Boredom was beginning to set in, and I was growing impatient waiting here for his broadcast to be over.

Especially since apparently I have a meeting to attend...strangely enough.

I can't imagine what he and Tom could have to talk to me about...and with Mindy?

Those two are up to something.

A sigh pushed form my lungs as I fell back into my chair, looking up at the ceiling. I took another chunk out of my chocolate and chewed slowly.

"Fawn!"

My ears perked and I looked over at the high pitched voice, smiling when I saw Niffty. I haven't seen her all day.

"Niff!" I replied with a big smile, and she scampered over to me, beginning to tidy up Al's desk.

"So..." she hummed, "how have you 'n Al been?"

When she said this she gave me a suggestive smirk, and my cheeks immediately heated up as I recalled our...shenanigan...earlier.

"Um..." my voice cracked, and I cleared my throat, "g-good, yea...good...totally...Mmhm," I nodded, "he's so sweet, and..."

"Attractive?" She added, and I snapped my fingers.

"That's the word!"

We both laughed, and she continued dusting around. The office was beginning to quiet, and that was a social queue that Al should be finished soon.

Niffty sighed softly, and I looked over at her. She was at the window, staring out.

I could partially see her face.

That little smile that she always wears had fallen, and my eyes softened as I spun in the chair to face her fully.

"You ok...?" I asked her, and she waited a second, and I almost thought she didn't even hear me.

But then, very quietly, "it wasn't him...was it...? Lilly..."

My eyes widened, and I shook my head even though she can't see me.

"No, it was not. It wasn't him, Niff...I promise you, it wasn't."

She took in another deep breath, and nodded, "yea...yea I—I knew that...just needed to hear someone confirm it, I think..." she mumbled slightly.
