~small time skip~

Alastors POV:

We laid down in bed hugging each other close.
The house started to creak and rock around us due to the storm and y/n started flinching at the sounds.

Crash

She gasped and tightened the hug. I lifted her chin up to look at me.

"It's only the storm y/n, you're safe" I reassured her.

Her eyes looked glossy and she started to sniffle a bit.

Oh I hate seeing her like this

"No one is going to hurt you. Do you know why?" She shook her head and I smiled down at her. "Because I'll hurt them first".

She giggled a little and buried her head into my chest holding me close.

"I love you Alastor, you don't have to say it back yet. I understand." She mumbled.

I was a bit stunned at what she just said and took a sharp inhale.

"I-" I stuttered.

"Shhhh don't worry. I understand." She cupped my face and rubbed her thumb on my cheek.

"Thank you" I tilted my head into her hand and closed my eyes. We both swiftly went to sleep holding each other close.

~time skip to morning~

My neck felt a little sore and I lifted y/n's body off of me. I went over to examine it in my bathroom mirror.

I tilted my head and moved my fingers around the spots where she left hickeys, I groaned in annoyance.

How am I going to hide these?

She opened up the bathroom door and took a big yawn. I turned around and gave her a warm smile.

"I don't want to get stares or questions from people about the marks...maybe next time put them in a note non-noticeable place" I chuckled.

"Oh so you liked it~" She hummed and leaned towards me.

I grabbed her waist and pulled her in closer, pressing her forehead against mine.

"Chère, I loved it~"

"Hmm I could cover it in makeup but I don't have any of my things plus my concealer won't match your skin tone well." She stated but looked down a little wistfully.

Oh yeah her apartment is all smashed up...she will need new things!

"Oh! I'll take you out tomorrow, You can buy what ever you want chère. I have a black turtle neck top I could wear anyways!" I exclaimed.

"No no that's ALOT of money Alastor! I need clothes, makeup, shoes and- "

I interrupted her and lifted my finger to her mouth to hush her. "Have a look around you chère and think again." I gave her a smug look.

"But-"

"Shhhhh, cmon let's get some food. I'm starving!"

~time skip to early afternoon~

Y/N POV:

You were sat in the library reading a book but you haven't seen Alastor for a while. You opened the door and heard faint singing coming from upstairs.

"Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours Et ça me fait quelque chose..."

As you walked up the stairs Alastors singing became louder.

"...Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause..."

It was coming from his craft room and you silently creaked open the door and leaned against the frame carefully listening to his voice.

"...C'est toi pour moi
Moi pour toi dans ma vie
Tu me l'a dis, l'a juré pour la vie
Et dès que je t'aperçois
Alors je sens dans moi
Mon coeur qui bat..."

The door frame creaked a little and he places the chisels down and spun around.

"You have a very attractive voice, I love it when you speak French." You said and gave him a flirtatious smile.

"Je devrais parler plus français alors~" He replied smoothly.

"Huh?"

"I should speak more French then" He grinned and picked up his tools again and started to chip away at the wood.

"I'm bored" You whined and placed your chin on his shoulder, wrapping your arms around his upper chest.

"What did you do while I was away chère? " He asked continuing to carve the wood.

"Mostly read stuff and listen to music but I've done all that" You sighed. "Can I make something? "

He leaned back on his chair and looked up at you.
"Do you know how?" He asked.

"...no"

"It's not really something you can casually pick up, it takes a while to learn chère" He explained, tilting  his head to the left.

"Teach me then." You kissed his forehead.

"Come here~" He signaled for you to sit down.

You sat on his lap and picked up the chisels. His hands moved down your arm and your fingers crossed together. You felt your face get hotter and you took a small inhale.

"Now just lightly dig into the wood and run the chisel smoothly across the top " he gently moved your hands directing you.

"You're doing so well~" He leaned forward and whispered in your ear. Your body felt like it was just gonna melt away.

He started to tenderly kiss down your neck. You weren't paying attention and your breaths were heavy.

Swoosh

Your hand slipped down and you jabbed yourself harshly with the tool.

"Ouch" You exclaimed and started to shake your hand, wincing at the slight pain.

"Chère are you okay?" He panicked and grabbed your hand. Your finger turning red a little, it wasn't a deep cut but it was enough to make you bleed.

"Yeah I'm okay, do you have anything to put over the cut?" He stood up with you in his arms.

"Hey calm down it's only a small scratch, it wasn't your fault" You giggled and he carried you to the bathroom bridal style.

"I didn't break my legs Alastor, i literally have the smallest cut on the top of my finger and it's stopped bleeding now. " You looked up at him.

"I know" He hummed and sat you down in the bathroom. He opened up the drawer and took out a small med kit. He cut a bandage and delicately wrapped and tied it around your finger. 

"There we go, Sorry I wasn't focusing much. "

"Again, Alastor it wasn't your fault. You're being silly!" You pushed him lightly and he fell back clearly he wasn't balanced well. His face looked appalled.

Thud

You tried to suppress it but you started out bursting with laughter.

"Alastor are you okay " You said through giggles.

He gave you a sly smile and pulled you down with him.

"Clearly I didn't have any balance while sitting down..." He groaned.

"Clearly I have superhuman strength" You chuckled.

"Hmm wanna make it up to me?" He grinned.

"What are you implying Alastor~" You whispered and  leaned in closer, biting your lip.
