Loyalty (!Yandere Alastor x Reader)

Chapter 4

Y/N POV

The movie had just ended, and though Bambi wasn't that long of a movie, the others had managed to fall asleep. I turned to Alastor to see if he was among that group and watched a small tear slide down his cheek.

I knew Lucifer picking Bambi would have been bad, but who's going to tell the king if hell no? And truth be told, I wasn't expecting Alastor to be this affected by it. Without thinking much of it, a wiped the tear from his face, my hand catching him off guard and making him jump a bit.

"You okay?" I made sure to whisper, not wanting to wake up the others if Alastor would continue to cry. He turned his head to look at me, his smile was still there, though it was very small. Almost gone.

I wrapped my arm around him and tugged him to me in a side hug. He didn't really seem sure of how to take it, like seemed like he had never been hugged before. He was stiff and unresponsive, which even only knowing him for a day felt strange. "You don't have to answer, I didn't think that was going to be a good movie for you to see."

"They killed his mother..." his head fell onto my own, making the ear under it flop down. "Those horrible people killed his mother..." He sounded hurt and angry, like it had been his mother it happened to. The typical static in his voice was gone due to how quiet he spoke. His voice was nice and smooth behind it, I'm honestly glad I got to experience it.

I rubbed his back in slow circles, not exactly knowing the best way to comfort him. After all, I hadn't known him that long and for most of that time I didn't like him. I still don't, but it's a little less than before I guess. Still, I wasn't going to have him be like this. "Do you want to watch something else? It might help take your mind off of... well you know what I'm talking about."

"I'm not really one for such modern technology but... maybe it would be nice to have a distraction of sorts." I gave him a small smile and took the remote from beside Lucifer. Scrolling through the different options I decided on my favorite, The Princess and the Frog. It never failed to comfort me when I was having a rough time, so hopefully it would be a good choice.

The moment the movie started, Alastor seemed to be interested. I watched his face from the corner of my eye, a boyish like excited filled his eyes when it mentioned taking place in New Orleans. His happiness about the origin even made me a bit giddy. The tip of my tail patted against the couch gently at some of his more galvanized responses.

He seemed a bit confused on how to view the shadow man, but his eyes lit up any time a song played. Unfortunately, he caught me staring at him during 'Ma Belle Evangeline' which was deeply embarrassing. My cheeks flushed bright pink and from then on, I focused on the movie. Like any person watching the movie, a few tears were shed after watching Ray and the stars. And soon enough the movie was finished.

Wiping a small tear from my eye I looked over at Alastor, who was smiling happily at the tv. "How did you like it?"

"While their representation of voodoo wasn't very correct, everything else was absolutely delightful!" He exclaimed in a loud whisper. His response made me chuckle to myself silently, finished with a long yawn. "I suppose it is rather late, you should get some rest my dear."

We shared a smile and I nodded at him, "goodnight Alastor, see you tomorrow."

"Sleep well Y/N," he said with an almost genuine looking smile. I waved goodbye and left for my room after turning the television off. The others remained asleep down in the lobby, I wasn't exactly sure what Alastor was doing down there in the dark, but I wasn't going to question it either.

Alastor POV

As the little firefly sang about his love, I was a bit uninterested. Loving another in such a way had never been something I felt. In fact, I'm not even sure what it felt like to be in love with someone as he was that little star. I looked down at Y/N in attempt to see how she reacted to such a scene. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to see her e/c eyes looking at mine.

I couldn't tell if it was due to the glow of my eyes or light from the picture box, but her cheeks seemed to go a bit pink. But perhaps it was from something else. 'What an interesting reaction to such a thing...'

As the movie progressed I made sure to watch intently. I truly was curious to see how it would end. Dr Facilier's debt was just downfall, to know surprise. That's what you get when you make promises you can't keep, the Loa tend to be unforgiving with such things. The sound of a faint dog-like whimper caught my attention, I was certain it didn't come from the television. So, I glanced over to Y/N.

Her ears were flat on her head and I saw a tear glisten from the light of the picture box. The scene playing was certainly upsetting, sure. Though I wasn't sure it was sad enough for tears to be shed. A genuinely happy smile came to my face when I saw a second star appear next to the one he had called Evangeline. A simple symbol to make it look like the two fireflies had reconnected. I watched Y/N wipe the tears from her eyes and snivel with a smile on her face.

My attention stayed at the television, just in case something else were going to happen. But when I saw Y/N's head turn to me in my peripheral vision, I took it as that was the end and turned to look at her. "How did you like it?"

"While their representation of voodoo wasn't very correct, everything else was absolutely delightful!" I exclaimed in a loud whisper. Y/N seemed pleased with my response and chuckled a bit. A long yawn followed her giggle, causing a small smile to form on my lips. "I suppose it is rather late, you should get some rest my dear."

We shared a smile she gave me a nod, "goodnight Alastor, see you tomorrow."

"Sleep well Y/N." She turned off the television and left for her room, leaving me in the dark with my thoughts.

The movies I had seen were definitely things I hadn't expected to see. Such vile men taking away a young boy's mother. Represented as deer, no less. Lucifer was always someone I had despised. But deciding to play such a thing in front of me was something that fueled that hatred ten-fold.

However the marvelous production Y/N had showed he was incredible. It reminded me of home and how my life in the living world had been. Of course there were a few major differences, but it was still highly enjoyable. I'm certain she didn't know I had caught her staring at me multiple times. I decided not to bring attention to them in the moment, certain she would stop if I did so. Which I was later proven to be correct.

What I couldn't seem to get over was that she had put the movie on for me. To make me feel better. She spent time with me willingly, just so that I wasn't upset over the movie about the deer. 'For me... she did it just for me...' my mind repeated.

I shook myself from such thoughts, she was only making an attempt to cheer me up. Such thoughts beyond that were wacky nonsense! Though it started thoughts of our conversation in the kitchen certainly made me think.

I wanted her friendship. Her attention. Her compassion. I craved to become closer to her. And I will do everything in my power to ensure that I get what I want.
