Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 77

I changed mermaid Fawn's design a little.

Y'all want some mermaid AU lore? 👀

Yea you do.

Fawn is the princess of the seven seas. Her father is ruthless ruler, putting his people second to himself.

This, of course, leads to some of his citizens getting fed up. A few of them gather and call upon Alastor...the "Demon Shark" of the Dead Sea.

They tell him of their issues, telling him to get the kings attention he needs to kill the princess. He thinks nothing of this, assuming the princess is just like the one who raised her.

Then he meets her, and realizes she's actually quite innocent, and very kind. This leads to him visiting her multiple times, very curious about the small mermaid princess. He's never met something so delicate before, and inevitably falls in love with her.

Fawn's POV

Weeks passed by like minutes. Every Friday Al and I would go straight from the studio to mama's shop so she could give me my check up.

In all reality, it wasn't very eventful.

Alastor fell into a bit of a routine. Wake up, feed me, give me my vitamins, go to work, feed me again, take me out for fresh air, come home, disappear for a few hours every other night.

I told him recently I think he should still try to be careful, but he informed me the police are back to being "brainless fools with no how and no way of figuring him out".

So, I dropped it. If he's confident, I trust him. From what I gather, he's been doing this for years and no one has ever cracked the case.

However...that detective's eyes still haunt my dreams every once in a while. I haven't seen him since that day, but something about him gave me the creeps.

But there's no use in dwelling on those things now. Not when I'm going to see Edith for what will be my fourth checkup today!

I looked up at Al with a smile, our hands intertwined.

He stood tall and proud like always, perfect posture and an expensive air about him.

However, it all softened when he noticed me staring at him.

Those brown eyes trained on me and we came to halt in our steps just outside the shop.

"Yes, my darling?" He asked, tilting his head.

I shrugged and shook my head, "Nothin', I was just thinking," I said, keeping my little smile.

"Whatever about?" He retorted, to which I squeezed his hand lightly.

"How much I love you," I responded, feeling especially mushy in this particular moment.

I'm not sure really what I was thinking about as I observed him, but I feel like me admiring him could be summed up to how much I love him.

His cheeks gained a soft pink tint, and he blinked back in mild surprise. Then, he rolled his eyes and took his hand from behind his back to hook it around my waist and pull me close to him.

Before I even knew what was happening, his lips were pressed against mine and my eyes were wide open.

Not long after realizing what was happening, I let my eyes close and melted into the soft kiss.

He pulled back far too soon for my liking, and then put his lips next to my ear.

"I love you, too," he whispered, making me shiver slightly.
