Fawn's POV

I decided to accompany Al during his broadcast this morning. Niffty told me it was fine, and she would handle the morning chores.

My body was relaxed into the large, cushy chair as I listened to Alastor ramble on and on about the latest drama and whatever else needed addressing within the community.

Occasionally he would glance to me, sending me a discrete wink or just the slightest smirk. I played into his silent flirting, reaching under the desk to dance my fingers up his thigh, or gently nudging his foot with mine.

These actions were childish in nature, and something that I was surprised Al wanted to partake in. Yet, here he was, happily toying with me.

My smile was soft, and I rested my cheek in my palm as I listened to him speak.

There's something familiar about this broadcast...something that feels almost like deja vu. I've been trying to place it the entire time, focusing hard on the words and his movements.

Then, suddenly, it hit me like a train.

Holy fuck this was...this was the broadcast. The one that was clipped over that video of Alastor giving a tour of the office.

The video that sent me here.

My lips parted, and a surreal feeling suddenly washed over me, making me feel just a bit dizzy.

I don't normally think about my life before...in fact, with each passing day it's fading further and further away from me.

But hearing the broadcast that started it all...and knowing I was sitting right next to him during it...just...

Wow.

Alastor turned to look at me, and when he caught my eye his brows furrowed. His speech didn't hiccup or change, but he did face me a bit more.

With no hesitation, he reached over openly and in front of everyone outside the booth and took my hand into his.

His eyes were soft as he rubbed my knuckles, asking me silently if I was ok.

Quickly, I wiped the slightly star struck look off my face and smiled, nodding.

The concern in his eyes let up, but he still kept a bit of a closer eye on me as he finished up his morning stories.

Once he'd finally reached the end of he segment, he signed off and then pushed the microphone away from him, turning to me almost immediately.

"Are you alright? You looked a little pale earlier..." he said quietly, leaning forward to rub my legs gently.

I giggled and nodded, "I'm alright, it's just...this broadcast is..." I paused a moment, collecting my thoughts so I could voice them properly, "it's...it was the same one on the tape that...sent me here."

I finished my statement as almost a whisper, and Al's eyes widened a bit.

"My...how strange is that?" He mused, giving me a crooked, cute looking smile.

My mouth opened again to answer, but just then the door to the booth burst open and in came the one and only Thomas Calcutta.

"Beautiful! Utterly moving, Alastor. Bravo!"
