[A week later]

Somehow, Alastor always finds out where I am. The poor guy is definitely persistent.

Why I have no idea. It's not like clingy behavior either...

It's weird.

Like he genuinely wants to be around me.

I am sitting peacefully at the river just staring at the water in the heat.

Children are casually splashing their friends and siblings while the adults are talking amongst themselves.

They seem happy. Something that is never in hell.

I pull my knees to my chest and lay my chin on them.

I put a small smile on my face. This is really nice.

How can hell be full of shit when this is what Earth is like?

"Would you like some company, my dear?" A familiar voice asks.

"Greetings, Alastor." I didn't notice my smile grow.

He sits next to me and looks at the water.

We sit in comfortable silence for a while until a child runs up to Alastor.

"Are you the radio host, sir?" The boy questions.

"Yes indeed, my good sir," Alastor says with his signature smile.

"That's so cool! I'm gonna be a radio host just like you when I get older!" The boy exclaims.

"Well, I hope to hear your voice over the radio then!"

The little boy runs off to tell his mother, who he just met.

"You seem good with kids..." I chuckle.

"I don't know what you mean, my dear." He laughs with me.

"How do you not see it?"

"I've never really looked, I guess."

"Well, take my word for it then." I stand. "I'm going to grab a bite. Would you like to accompany me?"

"I'd follow you anyhow." He laughs as he stands up.

"Why is that?" I ask him lightly.

"What?" He tilts his head in confusion.

"I mean, you always seem to find me, and you voluntarily hang around me... why?" Y/n starts walking down the road with Alastor next to the road.

"That is for me to know, my dear!" Alastor laughs.

In all honesty, he doesn't know. Alastor seems to want to get to know her and talk to her. It's like he wants to go out of his way just to see her.

He has, in fact.

"Where do you plan to eat, my dear?"

"I was thinking just a coffee shop or bakery..." Y/n replies hesitantly. She knew about the drastic change of the subject, but she let it slide.

"You do enjoy your sweets!" Alastor laughs.

"I think I just absorbed all of the sweet tooth from you, making mine doubled!" Y/n jokes.

"Don't worry, my dear... you're just the right sweetness for me..."

That's how it's been. The two would be having full-blown conversations, then hell drop a not-so-subtle flirt...

She doesn't even understand why he does it. The brunette seems to shift his mood so suddenly that it's confusing. Not even in a bad way, too.

"Says the one who drinks bitter black coffee." She glares up at him.
