Your Afterlife (Alastor x reader) Hazbin Hotel

Chapter 15: Proof

Timeskip 2 weeks:

Alastor has been sucessfully avoiding me for 2 weeks already. Sometimes I tried searching for him but he didn't want me to find him. So I spent a bit more time with Angel again.

I sigh: "Say Angie, have you and your boyfriend ever had an argument?"
He replies: "Oh yeah, we fight about silly stuff sometimes. Why are ya asking?"

I stutter: "Well something happened between me and Al and now he's been avoiding me for 2 weeks. He was so furious."

He shrieks: "Oh no! What happened?"
I chuckled in a sad tone: "I unfortunately can't tell you, Angie. I would like to. But the last time we spoke, he threatened to torture and then to eat me alive if I tell anyone what exactly happened between us."
Angel gasped yet tried to sound cool:
"Typical Al."

He continued: "I'm worried about you being romantically involved with this creep. If anything ever goes bad in this relationship, you'll be in big trouble, y/n. I hope you're aware what you've gotten yourself into. And don't take this personally but it probably will go bad at some point cuz well... it's Smiles we're talking about here, toots."

I sighed: "I'm wondering whether it was all a mistake."
He asked: "Have you been happy with him the last few months?"
I sighed: "Apart from a few scary moments here and there where he scared the shit out of me... I was happy with him, yes."

Genuinely curious, he asked: "What makes you love Smiles?"
I blushed: "I love that he's a gentleman. He can be surprisingly supportive and loving if he is willing to put the effort into it. He's a very interesting person to talk to. He's very intelligent and I love his humour. Even tho his humour is kinda crazy. But seems as if I'm into that shit. Anyway, he has such a charming demeanor in general. And I love his pleasing voice and his appearance."

Angel gave me a hug: "I hope Smiles will get over what happened soon. I don't like seeing you be all sad like this."
I whispered: "What if he won't?"
Angel raised one of his eyebrows: "I guess whatever happened between you two was a hugeeeee deal. Pity I won't ever know about it."

Angel suddenly widened his eyes: "HOLY SHIT."
Confused, I just turned around in a heartbeat. It was Alastor who was standing behind me.

I was scared of what he was gonna say. He still looked quite angry to say the least.
When he looked angry, it made his ever-lasting smile appear even more off-putting than it usually does.

He looked at Angel: "Good news, Angel. I've freed you from your contract with Valentino! Just as we had agreed."
Angel stuttered: "Thank ya, Smiles."

I hummed: "Uhm... Al... you didn't just free Angie from the contract... you literally killed Valentino."
In shock, Angel shrieked: "HE DID WHAT???!!!"

I muttered: "As cruel as this sounds but... I thought you would be glad or relieved about his death?"
Angel stuttered: "I don't know, toots. Abusive relations fuck with your head. But... I'm just gonna focus on the fact that I'm free now."
A tear rolled down Angel's face: "Finally... I am free."

I softly wiped the tear off Angel's face and hugged him.
Just to hear a slightly irritated: "Ahem!" 
Alastor was watching us with his eyes twitching.

Alastor's voice was filled with static: "Say, before I interrupted you two, Angel, y/n wasn't talking to you about me, right?"
Angel stuttered even more: "Well she actually was. She told me that SOMETHING between the two of you happened that has upset you but she hasn't told me what exactly happened and she told me she won't tell me. So please don't eat her."
Alastor rolled his eyes: "Thank you for not lying to me, Angel Dust. Now, y/n, I need to talk to you. Come with me."

Timeskip 5 minutes:

We walked into my room completely in silence. I was too scared to say anything. I was too scared to say the wrong thing and to make him even more furious.
But then I finally said: "Well... you said you needed to talk to me. So... actually talk."

He silently said with repulsion in his voice: "Feasting the raw deer meat with you has made me do something with you on impulse... controlled by a primal instinct... without much thought way before I was actually ready for this. For making love to you. I wasn't ready. Yet this carnaval frency caused by the shared intimate feast made me do it too early!"

I understood but I wondered how to fix this: "But what can I actually do about this?"

He sighed: "I've considered many things. Breaking off our relationship. Or cutting any ties with you entirely. Or killing you... in your sleep. Or I just move on from this. Which would only be possible if you showed me you're the one for me."

I whispered: "What do you want me to do to prove it to you?"

He handed me a little list he has written.
His list said:
"1) Show me that you trust me without limits
2) Show me you can fend for yourself
3) Show me you can kill
4) Show me you can manipulate people
5) Show me a life freed from the deal I had made."

I sighed: "That's quite... a lot. But I'm gonna show all these things to you. So what do I need to do to show you that I trust you entirely?"

His smile became very wicked: "Let me drink from your blood after I knock you out, my dear. Show me that you trust me to not drink all of it."

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. HE REALLY IS TESTING ME SERIOUSLY. WHAT DID I EVEN EXPECT?
But I need Alastor in my life.

So I just said with a smile, trying to not feel terrified: "Alrighty! Knock me out!"
Yup. I've completely lost my mind.
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with me?

And he pushed my head against the wall so hard that I passed out.

Timeskip 11 hours:

I opened my eyes: "Where am I? What... happened?"
Alastor jumped off the bed with some blood being around the corners of his mouth and on his teeth still: "Took you long enough, my darling!"

He then walked over to me and made me sit up next to him: "You're still being in your room. You agreed on letting me test your trust towards me. So I knocked you out after you willingly gave me the permission to suck some of your blood. It indeedy was very delicious."

He then started caressing my hair softly: "But fret not. You actually don't have to do any of the other things on the list. My test was the way you reacted to my... quite demanding list of so-called proofs whether you're the one. Would you insist this list was too much or ridiculous or unmanageable or would you just accept doing whatever the list demanded in order to make things okay between us again? Then the other test was whether you actually trust me without limits. That was the only thing from this list you really needed to prove to me. And you passed, y/n! You are... the one for me."

He then pulled my body closer to his and tenderly kissed my lips. I kissed back.
I felt furious that he tricked me like this but I was also relieved I wouldn't have to do anything else on this list and that everything is already okay between the two of us again. We just kept kissing each other for a bit and then we cuddled each other in bed for a while.
