All is Fair in Love and War (Alastor x Reader)

Chapter 55

"Y/n M/n L/n, will you marry me?"

You couldn't believe your ears, you nodded excitedly. Your heart overflowing with so much love and acceptance you could no longer contain your tears. Was this really happening? It had to be... It had to be. Of course it was real. And you were so over the moon with joy it was almost unbearable.

"Yes!! Yes, a thousand times yes Alastor!!!" You balled, a tear of joy slipping down Alastor's cheek as well as he happily took the ring from the box and slid it on your finger, before standing back up straight and pulling you in; embracing you tightly as you continued to cry into his shoulder. "I love you so much!!" You said, coming out muffled as your face was buried in his coat. "I love you so fucking much~"

"I love you too darling. To the edge of the universe and back." He sighed happily, pulling away to kiss you.

You were so caught up and lost in the moment you didn't even realize right away that there was cheering coming from the opposite side of the rooftop after you said yes. Pulling away from the kiss you looked over to see everyone... Charlie, Angel Dust, Vaggie, the rest of the hotel staff and patients including Molly and Andrew, Mimzy, Rosie, just about everybody that you and Alastor had somewhat of a close relationship with was up there celebrating your engagement.

"Holy shit when did you guys get here??" You joked, wiping the tears from your face as you smiled widely at them before looking back at Alastor. This was too much. You almost had to pinch yourself to make sure you weren't dreaming.

"They were sort of in on this little surprise." Alastor admitted, chuckling as he smooched your forehead whilst your friends and acquaintances approached you both.

"Even Andrew?" You wondered, looking over at the wolf. Who, only bashfully shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.

"Guilty as charged." The wolf admitted with a shy smile.

"Mannnn... And I thought you really didn't know why I was asked to come over today. I thought we were friends, Andrew." You teased, smiling at everyone before looking down at your left hand. Taking a good look at how the ring looked so perfect on your finger, like it was practically made just for you. You could almost swear, the red stones glowed much like how your lovers eyes did.

What a dream come true.

"Y/n, everyone's here because... Well, one, of course we wanted to surprise you." Mimzy explained. "But also because..."

"Consider it an engagement party, dear." Rosie finished, delight and sophistication lingering in her smooth voice as she spoke. "We want to celebrate with you two. It's not often we get to share such a momentous occasion anymore, and, how could we not gather in good cheer over our beloved friends and their newfound commitment to each other?"

"I think I'm gonna faint." You giggled, still in awe over everything that just happened. "But in a good way."

"I'll catch you if you do." Al chuckled, gently wiping a tear from your cheek with his thumb. You smiled wider again and pulled him in for another hug.

"I know. You always catch me."

"They really are a cute couple, aren't they?" Andrew asked, standing by the ballroom wall with Molly. Holding her hand as she hugged his arm and stood close by.
