The Radio Demon's Soulmate ¥ Alastor Hazbin Hotel

Chapter 5

"Who the fuck is Xavier?"

I whirl around to see Alastor wearing a sinister smile and slanted eyes. I was so upset last night that Xavier hadn't crossed my mind. We've been sort of dating for a month now. He asked for my number at the Saloon, and we've hung out a few times. We slept together a week ago, but I don't know how I feel. He's really sweet though.

"He's... a study partner. I forgot we were supposed to study together this morning," I answer timidly while closing my eyes.

"Darling, I'm familiar with your tells for when you lie," he chuckles darkly. The demon takes a step closer to me, so I step back.

"I- I don't know what you are talking about," I whisper. My throat feels dry. I wasn't sure if it was anxiety, but Alastor's form seemed to be getting larger.

"I'll kill him if you don't tell me," he taunts me. It's real. He was getting bigger. Long antlers grow from his head, and his smile grins deeper.

I cried so much already that no tears came. Instead I started shaking. What if he kills him over the truth? He'll know I'm lying clearly. "Fine," I give in weakly, "Him and I have been seeing each other for a month now. Not that it's any of your business." He returns to normal, and I scowl at him.

There is a deranged look in his eyes for a moment, but he regains his composure. "It's a good thing your little boyfriend is here. You can break it off now," he tells me what to do as if it's simple. Although I had been already contemplating this, I wasn't sure. Xavier was kind. I want to like him, but for some reason I just don't.

"Alastor, I've been through hell. Not today," I beg, "I'll get him to leave."

"No. I'm gonna watch you end things. You know he's not your soulmate," he answered without remorse.

"You don't care about me or my feelings. How could you be my soulmate?" I spat at him and shook my head.

"Why would you lead that lad on any further, my dear? I'm not being cruel. I know you see no future with him," he shrugs. Alastor doesn't understand that I need to catch my breath. Instead of fighting, I leave my room without the last word. I face Xavier sitting on the couch without putting myself together prior. My hair was a mess, dirt on my arms, and tear-stained cheeks. My under eyes felt actually raw from crying so much.

"Oh my God, Danika. Are you okay?" Xavier gasps and jumps up from the couch. He pulls me close, and I stand there stiffly. I know Alastor will be furious, but would he actually hurt me over this? I'm still gonna end things, but not today. I want to get him out and go to bed. The exhaustion was starting to hit me.

"Hey, Xavier," I yawn while looking away, "I'm sorry I haven't answered your calls, I can't find my phone. Can we talk later?"

Xavier looked confused and unsatisfied, but he wouldn't push me. "Yeah, I'll sto-" He ceased talking when my phone rings. My phone. It's in my hand. It takes my mind a moment to process before looking down to see it actually is. As if it wasn't missing all night. "Have you been ignoring me?" Xavier suddenly asks.

"No! I, um, been having a rough night and morning..." No excuse comes to my mind as I see Alastor smirking in the corner. He sat comfortably in my reading chair, looking through my books.

"You've been weird all week, Danika. I think you're having second thoughts after having sex," he states plainly, not believing my lies. Out of the corner of my eye, Alastor's antlers start to grow out. There's no way out of this one, I guess.

"You're right, Xavier," I sigh, "I just don't think... think we are connecting." I look up and see the disappointed expression on his face. I wish I could have done this when I was more 'sound-of-mind'.

"I guess you're right..." he barely whispers out. We talked awkwardly for another couple minutes, mentioning we were cool. He tried to ask questions, but I dodged. I shut the door behind him and turn around. Alastor is close behind me with his wicked smile.

"You've had my phone this whole time," I fumed and rushed around him, heading towards my bedroom. Thankfully Alivia went on a morning run to give me privacy.

"I knew it would come in handy," he smirked and followed after me. "You tried to disobey me."

Once we were in my room, I whip around angrily. "Just because past us dated during traditional gender roles, doesn't mean you get to control me now. I have no boyfriend, and I would never let one treat me like this," I hiss.

"Darling, if the roles were reversed, you'd have been flustered by another suitor just as much," he points out while laying on my bed lazily.

"I'm not insane like you."

Alasot curls his finger to encourage me to come closer. I stubbornly don't move, but then a force pushes onto the bed. I fell forward next to him. The first thing I noticed was the heat radiating from his body. The exhaustion must be confusing me because I sort of craved to lay back into his chest and sleep.

"I want you to behave while I take care of some responsibilities back in hell, okay sweetheart?" he smirks and props himself up on his side. He takes his free hand and places it on my cheek. "I'll be back tonight to see you." His face looked sincere, causing me to blush a little. Maybe it was because he wore me down, but I nod weakly. I close my eyes, hoping he'll leave. A faint kiss is pressed against my nose before I feel his presence leave. I don't bother to open my eyes and sink further into the bed on top of the covers. I'll investigate how to escape Alastor after a good nap.
