Alastor X Reader: Blood For Freedom

42. Coffee

*** Alastor's POV ***

We layed in my bed under all my furs and blankets, just floating in the love sick haze. Never have I felt quite so warm and full, nor have I ever enjoyed my self so much before. I took deep, slow, measured breaths each one taking in your scent. To my surprise you had dozed off, small purrs emanating from you chest with each rise and fall. A barely audible shuffle alerted me to my shadow propping itself up on baseboard of the bed.

"Look like we found another way to get her to sleep." It commented in a low whisper.

"Hah." I chuckled, "Quite an enjoyable one if I do say so myself."

"I told you she would be worth it." The shadow remarked smugly.

"Yeah, you were right, happy?" I agreed begrudgingly. I had to admit the shadow has been a big proponent in me taking the few leaps of faith that got us here and it was right all along. My feelings, my desires, what you meant to me. All of it.

"In fact I am. Now don't fuck it up or I'll strangle you." It pointed a finger at me accusingly. It meant it too. I just kept taking deep breaths of your scent, nuzzling my face into your hair. It was a little while before you started waking up with he cutest little groans and yawns.

"Hi..." You murmured quietly.

"Hello, how you feeling?"

"Your's." You remarked, your whole body warm and a bit limp from the pleasant soreness. "You are incredible."

"Hmmm I aim to please." I gave your nose a soft boop followed by a kiss, earning a pleased giggle.

Your phone rang, startling us both. I nodded to my shadow to grab it from the floor where it was laying next to your skirt. It handed it to you before nestling itself above you, caressing the base of your ears.

"Heyyy Charlie, what's up?"

"Y/n! We were all worried! You and Alastor left the hotel hours ago and we haven't heard anything. Is he with you?"

I was annoyed at the interruption, and the implication that I would let anything happen to you on my watch. So I snatched the phone from your hand with my finger tips, chuckling at your expression as you watched your phone float out of your grip. You seemed entirely unbothered by the fact that it was no longer in your palm, instead just twirling your fingers in amusement before turning to watch me answer it.

"Y/n and I are going to be taking a few days off, don't expect us at the hotel at least until Tuesday." It was Friday, so I figured they would manage that long.

"Um... okay... may I ask why?"

"Well we are both well overdue for a well earned sabbatical, days don't you think?"

"I mean yeah, but..."

"Wonderful! We agree! I'll talk to you Tuesday then, buh-bye now." I hung up on the phone not letting her respond and chucked it to the end of the bed. You laughed at my antics as I pushed my face into the crook of your neck, tangling us up together even further. The hotel idiots can run around like chickens with their heads cut off for all I care right now, we deserved a few days of peace together and I'll be damned if I let even the princess of hell keep me form it.

*** Your POV ***

It was the next morning. You had spent the previous evening mostly in Alastor's arms except for when you two went downstairs and he made a delicious dinner, a hearty pasta dish that left you both full and sleepy.

You propped yourself up on the bed, the whole thing a bit of a mess since the night before with pillows and blankets in disarray. It was relatively early still. Next to you, Alastor was sleeping peacefully on his side, his face relaxed with a small smile. His ears flopped to one side, and the red hair was a bit disheveled, featuring a small cowlick that fell over his eyebrows. It was a little odd to think that the man in front of you was also known as the evil Radio Demon. But then again, he hasn't acted that way with you for a long time now.
