The sun had began setting, the normal hue of the hellish skyscape softening from bright red into a dull crimson. The hotel was quiet; everyone was enjoying the peaceful afternoon in their own ways. Angel Dust was curled up on the couch, asleep and Husk was cleaning his bar, wiping down bottles with his dingy rag and sitting them back down with a soft clink.
Charlie sat at the front desk, quietly discussing her plans to advertise the hotel with Vaggie. She was trying to think of ways to grab people's attention without giving the impression that the rooms were painted glittery pink. She couldn't help being optimistic, but she knew her tendency to get overly excited was getting in her own way.
You, on the other hand, sat up in your window, looking off into the distance. Alastor, your husband, had been at an overlord meeting for over 10 hours now, and you were beginning to miss the low, vibrating static that fluttered in the back of your mind when he was around. You dragged yourself away from the window and left your shared bedroom. You walked down the grand staircase and over to the bar, sitting down.
Husk laid his rag over his shoulder and leaned on the counter, "Hey." He halfway grunted his greeting, and you could see his lack of entertainment in his eyes. "Hey, Husk. Can I get a gin and tonic, please?" He nodded and began making your drink. "What have you been up to?" He asked as he turned, filling your glass with ice. "Nothing really, Alastor's been at a meeting since 7 this morning and I've already read all of my books. I'll need to buy a few more soon."
Husk grunted in response, placing a lime into your glass. He handed it to you, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Thanks, Husk." He nodded and began wiping the counter down. You heard footsteps and turned, a messy-haired Angel Dust walking towards the bar. "Morning, Sunshine." Husk grumbled playfully, but Angel waved his hand dismissively, "Nuh uh, not right now. I need a fuckin' coffee." He plopped down in a stool next to you, laying his head down. Husk chuckled and shook his head, pouring a cup of steaming coffee from the pot that sat on on the bar.
As you finished your third drink, you looked up at the clock. It had been another hour, and Husk's lack of social battery was becoming evident in his empty conversations. The sun was gone now, and the hotel was dim. You thanked your friend for the drinks before standing up, putting some cash on the counter. Alastor insisted that you needn't tip him, but you never felt quite right having him work for you for free, regardless of his deal with your husband.
After bidding Husk goodnight, you returned to your bedroom. You were a bit tipsy, but you decided to take a shower to kill a bit of time while you waited for Alastor to return. You went to the bathroom and turned on the shower, adjusting the temperature until it was desirable. After undressing, you slipped into the shower, relishing in the comfort that the warm water provided against your skin.
After you were satisfied with your cleanliness, you stepped out of the shower, drying yourself off with one of the plush hotel towels. As you were finishing dressing yourself, you heard a soft click of a door opening, and your mind was gently dipped in static. Your lips curled into a smile as you opened the bathroom door, leaving your dirty clothes and towel in a heap on the floor. Alastor looked to you, his grin widening.
"My Love!" His crackling voice was unusually vibrant, sending a welcomed tint of pink to your cheeks. He sat his microphone against the wall near the bed and walked over to you, urgency in his steps. As soon as he was close enough, he leaned over slightly and pulled you into his arms. "Oh, how I've missed you today." He pressed his lips against your forehead, "I've missed you too, I've been-" then your nose. "-practically going-" He interrupted you again, placing a chaste kiss upon your lips.
"-insane." You finally finished your sentence, a laugh escaping you. Alastor rarely acted like this, but you absolutely adored this side of him. His hands guided you to the bed as he pulled back the covers for you. You laid down, propping your head up with one of your hands as you watched Alastor begin to unbutton his red tailcoat.
"I do apologize that I was gone for so long. Carmilla had much more to discuss than I'd expected." His fingers worked at his buttons, but his eyes were on you. He pulled it off of his shoulders and strode across the room, gently draping it over the coat hanger near the door.
He unbuttoned and removed his white dress shirt, revealing his scarred bare skin. He hung it next to his coat before walking back to the bed. He pulled back the blankets on his side and got in bed, his legs immediately finding yours. His hands slid around your waist, pulling your body against his. He pressed another kiss to your forehead.
He gently waved his hand, and the bedroom light turned off with a faint green flash. The crimson moonlight poured into the window, illuminating his face with red highlights. His smile was soft; and his eyes were tired. You watched as he scanned your face, admiring you. "You know, you really are the most alluring creature I have ever laid my eyes upon."
The compliment caught you off guard, splashing your face with pink once again. He always enjoyed flattering you; you just looked so innocent when you'd blush and turn away, let alone when you'd stumble on your words. Alastor truly loved you, which was a concept even he had a hard time grasping.
The day you walked into his life, everything changed. Nothing in his entire existence had made him feel quite the way you did. He couldn't imagine losing you; just being away from you during meetings as long as today's was almost unbearable.
You leaned forward, placing a kiss on his jaw. He drew a sharp finger to your temple and gently traced the side of your face as he brought his hand down, softly swiping the pad of his thumb against your bottom lip.
It was as if your minds were one as you brought your faces together, reuniting your lips with each others. The kiss was slow; passionate. It wasnt hungry, or lustful, or dark. It was love, purely and entirely. His fingers gently caressed your face as he pulled away, laying his head back against his pillow.
You didn't look away as his eyes began fluttering closed, his smile fading bit by bit. His smile never fully left, but you knew he'd fallen asleep by the way his breath had evened out and his fingertips twitched ever-so slightly against your skin.
It was ironic- bold, even- to say that he looked angelic. His beautiful face was the most relaxed you'd seen in months, and you could tell he hadn't slept in a while- despite laying next to you every night. Alastor's ear twitched, and he pulled you a little closer. Your eyes began to feel heavy and you gave in, melting against your husband. As your body drifted into slumber, one last thought fluttered through your mind.
'I'd much rather spend an eternity in Hell with you, than a single day in Heaven without.'
