Alastor's eyes widened at my words, "My.. you are certainly drunk..." He thought for a second about how drunk consent isn't consent. He then looked down into my eyes that were still staring hopefully up at him, Aaagh fuck it! I don't belong in hell for nothing.

The bright rays of morning sun were blocked by the curtain, dimming the room. I was still half asleep when I heard a faint static sound coming from behind me which I assumed was just due to the pounding headache I had.
I rubbed my eyes and slowly opened them, the room was still fairly light due to the curtains being so thin.
I rolled over with half lidded eyes which shot open at a glimpse of red.
I sat up and stared at the figure front of me - Alastor.
"Did you sleep alright?" He bent down to my face level as his radio filter glitched slightly, revealing his true voice for a split second.
"What..the fuck" I squinted at him, being still sleepy. "I must have drank a lot to be hallucinating like this..." I put my hand on my head, my headache not getting any better.
"Oh, you're not hallucinating!" He said, leaning back away from my face and standing up straight.
"Why are you here?" My whole body ached. I looked down and saw a few bruises and scratches, nothing too major. Although, there was a huge cut on my right arm which stung painfully.
"What the fuck? Did you do something?"
He smiled blankly at me. "You were drunk last night" He stared at me as I stretched my arms. "How do I explain..."
I got off my bed and stood up in front of him. I was wearing only an oversized t-shirt which reached down to above my knees due to it being three sizes too big.
I looked up at him and we made eye contact as I spoke, "We had sex, didn't we?"
He looked away, distracting himself by the pictures on my wall. "Well-.." He took a deep sigh. "Yes, we certainly did."
I looked up at him, eyes wide. I had sex with a demon? What the heck?? HUH? Does this mean he raped me? Does drunk consent count?
"Uh.. sorry" I looked down a little.
"For what? Fucking me?
My face heated up, "Yeah.."
"Don't be sorry!" He smiled. "It was a great time, you know" Alastor leaned back down, our faces a few centimetres apart.
My face suddenly heated up and I fell backwards onto my bed, leaning back onto my hands for support.
"Well, I must go. I think I have..." He looked me in the eyes, "...overstayed my welcome."
"I-" Before I could say anything, He disappeared into ashes. He must have gone back to hell.
I sat for a moment, still baffled by the fact that we literally hooked up.
Me! And a demon! Alastor, to be exact! What the fudgecake!
I reached for my phone which was on my bedside table but it was off power. I put it on charge and got up from the bed again.
I must have lit the candles while I was drunk.
There was a slight stumble in my step but I made my way downstairs. My legs ached, my back ached, my head ached, everything hurt.
I poured myself a bowl of cereal before adding milk and grabbing a spoon. I sat at the breakfast bar, slowly eating breakfast.
When I was done, I hurried upstairs and checked my phone.
"Astro?? Are you awake?"
I looked up at the time on my phone - 10:32. I sighed, knowing that they typically wake up later when they aren't working. I stared at my phone for a bit longer, hoping that Astro is awake.
As I was about to give up, a green online indicator appeared next to their picture and a typing bubble appeared:
"Yup! Woke up pretty early today lol"
"Can you call? There is something I've gotta tell you"
Once they replied with a yes I instantly called them. "Astro?"
"Hi, what did you want to tell me?"
"Well first of all - what happened last night? You took me home right?"
"Yeah of course"
"Anything happen? Did you light the candles on my desk? Did something feel off? I blurted out quickly.
"Woah slow down. All I did was take you home, put you in some pyjamas and waited until you were sleeping to leave."
"Oh... well thank you"
"Did something happen?"
I thought for a second, thinking of whether or not I should tell them. I must have been quiet for about a minute before Astro finally spoke again, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me, or if you're not ready! Don't worry"
"Thanks Astro"
I felt eternally grateful to have someone like Astro in my life, they're more than I could ever wish for. Most of my past 'friends' were fake, Astro is the only one who has sticker around this long. They don't pressure me to do things I don't want to do and I know I can trust and confide in them, which they can do for me as well. They're really just the best person I've ever known.
"Want to come over? We can have a sleepover since I don't have work tomorrow."
"Oh, sure! I'd love to! I'll pack my things, should I come over now or-?"
"Now would be alright. I'll just have a (bath/shower) first."
♡
I got up from the couch as I heard the doorbell ring, opening the door to find Astro. They took off their headphones as we gave each other a hug. The door squeaked as it closed and we headed upstairs, which is where we would sleep - in my room.
I wore a long-sleeved top with (leggings/any long jeans or trousers) so my bruises and cuts weren't visible. The cuts have started to heal though my legs ached and so did my head. I'm only thankful that he didn't kill me... I was probably the one to advance on him, I know my drunk self.
"So, you good? Are you feeling sick at all from getting drunk last night?" Astro asked as they took their backpack off and placed it by the door.
"No, luckily I haven't felt or been sick. I'm just really aching."
"Do you want me to get some water for you?"
"Sure, thank you so much" I smiled warmly as they left quickly to get me a glass of water.
I grabbed the TV remote from my bedside table and leaned against my headboard, turning the TV on. The national news channel was on and I was about to change it but stopped when I saw the picture on the news. It was of a tall white figure with 4 arms and a golden tooth. My eyes widened and I looked over to my Angel Dust poster on my wall. He was a demon, a gay spider demon.
I turned up the volume and listened to what the news reporter had to say.
As the news reporter began to speak, Astro waked in and placed a glass of water on my bedside table. They sat down next to me and listened to the news.
"Few demons have been spotted around the country. Here is a picture of the infamous Angel Dust, who was spotted last week at a strip club." My eyes widened, Angel Dust! Is it the real Angel Dust? I mean, knowing Alastor has literally been in my bedroom before (and me) it must be possible for other demons to be summoned as well. Why have they just started appearing though? There must have been people before who've tried to summon them. Why now?
Astro spoke up "Do you think it's the real Angel Dust? I mean it looks super accurate but you never know nowadays with all this AI shit. It could also just be a cosplayer I guess."
We both looked at each other and I nodded, "Yeah, probably. A demon in the over world would be crazy"
They giggled "I know right! Surely it's impossible. Do you want to do some drawing?"
I nodded my head, "Sure, I'll get some paper and stuff."
"No it's alright. You relax and I'll get all the stuff." They smiled and got up, grabbing some art supplies from around my room.
I truly believe it was the real Angel Dust... and they said more have been spotted too. What's happening??
