In the Hotel's kitchen at 4 am One Month later

Amber's P.O.V:

I was yawning and getting the coffee pot going before I got some sausage gravy and biscuit ingredients while rubbing my head, and I got one of the knives to cut some of the sausages until I saw my reflection. Seeing the bags under my eyes, I sighed before cutting the sausages slowly. I better hide these bags before everyone else wakes up. I haven't slept in two years. I haven't slept much in my life, and now in my death. It doesn't help that I've been worried that Alastor might tell someone about my Overlord status. I know that my Radio Stars loves the game, but I don't know if he will keep it or say it to the world. I sighed and finished cutting the sausages before putting them in a pan, and my ram ears twitched a bit, hearing someone coming into the kitchen.

I quickly grip my knife and turn around, pointing the knife only to see Alastor there, smiling before I sigh and rub my head, mumbling, "I... I apologize, my Radio Star. I didn't realize you were awake already. I hope I didn't wake you up." He chuckled softly and kept smiling before I turned around and went back to cooking until I heard him say, "You didn't wake me, my Little Lamb. I was just wondering if I could help you this morning." I looked at him confused and sighed before nodding and saying, "I need you to put the biscuits in the oven, please. I'm taking care of the sausages and gravy." I returned to cooking and heard him put the biscuits in the oven before I felt a familiar hand on my ankle. I looked down to see Alastor's Shadow nuzzling into my Shadow, making me smile softly. I returned to cooking and smiled, remembering the times we cooked together. Stars, He was always quiet when we cooked together, but that's all we ever needed.

"Do you want to tell me why you couldn't sleep this time, my Little Lamb?" I heard Alastor say while I was stirring the gravy. I tried to find the right words, but sadly, I could only shake my head. I couldn't answer him. I want to tell him about my dreams and nightmares just like I used to. But I doubt it would matter. We are both different people. But he always affects me, making me fall harder in love than before. I know he isn't into that, and I will always respect his boundaries. He is still my Radio Star, and I will always love him, but he won't return those feelings. 

I know him all too well. I sighed and finished the gravy before putting the sausages in it and stirring it together while I heard Alastor get the biscuits out of the oven. I looked over and smiled before I turned off the stove and walked over to the biscuits, "Perfect. They look perfect with the right amount of golden brown. Now, I have to set up the bowls and put everything on the table. I also have to make sure there are some napkins and-"

"Amber, slow down. You always move so fast when it comes to the kitchen. You haven't even started the pot of coffee and got yourself a cup. Or even had yourself a full night of sleep," Alastor said, holding my shoulder. I looked at him, blushing softly before looking away, and he guided me to the coffee pot. I just looked at him in confusion but sighed and started the coffee pot anyway before I noticed something in the window that was shining for a second, but it left before I could get a better look at it. 

That was odd. I felt Alastor's grip on my shoulder a bit tighter and looked at him before I saw him look pissed while he was smiling and staring at the window, and I said with a confused look, "Al? What's wrong?" 

"Nothing, my Little Lamb. Why don't I set up the table so you can get yourself a cup of coffee?"

"Okay...? I suppose I have been pushing myself a bit too far. I'm sorry. I've been worried."

"I know, my Little Lamb. You don't have to worry about anything. I won't tell. I promise." 

"I...Thank you." I whispered and blushed softly when I felt him rub my cheek gently before he walked away to set the table. I looked away to get myself a cup of coffee, trying to calm my blushing face. I swear that man is going to be the death of me... again.
