Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 79

Al found Fawn's work doodles. Anything written is red was added by Radio Man.

This is basically just 3600 words of porn.

I always tell myself I'm not going to go overboard writing smut, and then I do.

Enjoy 🦋✨

Alastor's POV

Sitting on the bed, I stared down at the small box in my hands.

The soft cushion inside held a beautiful diamond ring...not too large, or flashy, but just enough. Her tastes aren't very extravagant...

The diamond itself was a "princess cut" as the jeweler had called it. It was square, with the edges chiseled to give it a bit of a unique glimmer as it caught the light.

I hope she likes it...

Thomas helped me choose, and he was rather excited to learn of my plans of proposal.

Even pitching me a rather generous offer once he learned I was buying the diamond.

"What?!"

I'd just told Thomas I was going to propose to Fawn soon, and that her Christmas gift would be the diamond ring I was going to present to her.

"That's fantastic! Congratulations, my friend!" He said, his smile beaming as we walked down the street towards the best jeweler in town.

I shrugged, "I just figured it's time...wouldn't want her slipping out of my fingers now, that's one hell of a woman!" I laughed, to which he joined me.

Of course, I don't actually think she'd go anywhere if I don't propose.

We walked a bit further in silence, then Thomas piped up again.

"Say, Al...I'd be willing to let you propose at my Christmas shindig, if you'd like? That way, all the office will know instead of you getting swarmed by questions," he offered, and I thought about it for a moment.

Y'know, that doesn't sound half bad actually.

I could claim her right there in front of all eyes present.

"Perhaps that's what I'll do...thank you, my good man!" I said, genuinely grateful for his kindness.

He shrugged, "ah, don't mention it. You are my closest pal, after all, it's the least I could do," he said casually.

The words, although casual in nature, made my heart jolt.

Closest pal...?

Quickly, I shoved the warm feeling in my chest away, but still allowed myself to acknowledge the genuine bond I feel towards Thomas.

"Oh, but I truly appreciate it! Your kindness is received well, Tom," I gave him a genuine compliment, that of which I don't give out very frequently to people who aren't Fawn.

He stopped to open the door for me to enter the shop, "well, then you're welcome, my friend," he said with a smile, gesturing me in.

That's been three weeks ago now.

Tom's party is next week

I drew in a slow, deep breath. Normally, I'm not one for nerves...but I can't help but be nervous.

What if she doesn't like it...? Oh, I hope she likes it...

The sound of the bathroom light shutting off caused me to fumbled with the ring, shoving it back into the box before throwing it back into its drawer and kicking it shut.
