The sinners secret. {radioapple}

🍎chapter 4🍎

I pull him into bed with me, laying him beside me. "Now go to bed sire.."
   I turn to my other side, looking out the window. I listen to his breathing even out, before he begins to snore.

                                          ...
The next morning I wake up laying on my back. I slide my arm up his back. Wait..I open my eyes and look down at the short man. He's cuddled up on my chest, his wings are gone..hes relaxed..on me..what is this feeling..
       He shifts off of me and I quickly get out of bed and grab my staff. I don't understand. He hated me just a few days ago. What's changed..
I head out the door, making my way to the lobby.
     "Al!" Charlie calls out, "where are you headed?"
    "Oh, cannibal town, rosie and I are going for lunch."
She chuckles, "at 8am?"
      Shit.
"Then breakfast!" I say, turning to leave. "Bye now!"
                                        ...
I sit at the cafe in front of rosie, setting my staff down beside me. "Hello my dear friend!"
   "Al!! How are 'ya!" Rosie exclaims.
"Oh I'm well! And you are?"
She laughs, "oh I'm just dashing!"
  I laugh with her, and we talk for a bit,
"Oh! How is it now that the king moved into the hotel? You guys still fighting?" She asks, the womans just as drama hungry as me. My ears shift and my eyes widen.
    She gasps.
"Ohh! What happened! I know that look~" she squeals.
    Don't tell her. Don't tell her. Don't tell her.
"Nothing! Haha!" I blurt out. Good job! That was so believable. Idiot!
       "Did you make up? Make out~" she teases.
"No! No! Nothing like that!"
"Then what happened!! Tell me al!"
I sigh and look around, the place is busy and loud, no one will hear. Damn it. No excuses..
"He was..upset..rosie." I start.
      "And?" She asks.
I hesitate..I really shouldnt be telling her this..
  "He was crying and it made me feel.." I stutter, how did I feel..? "..bad?"
"You felt feelings for other people? Who are you and what'd you do with my al?" She jokes.
"Rosie, I know I can't frown at you. But pretend I am." I say, my smile tense.
She laughs, patting my hand and I pull it away quickly.
               "So what did you do? Watch him cry?"
"No! I mean..I should have." I answer. "But I didn't."
     She gives me a look and my ears fall flat. Talking about things like this is odd.
    "We slept in my bed..and I woke up to him cuddled into my chest." I whisper,
She gasps so hard it turns into a squeals, it causes my face to flush and my stomach turn. But why..
    "Thats adorable!!" She yells.
"Shut up!" I respond and she laughs.
   "Do you like him? Does he like you? Ohh this is like a book!" She squeals.
"Rosie!" I exclaimed, standing from my chair.
"Oh al! Come on! Its so obvious you like him!"
I freeze up. No. I can't. He hates me. I hate him. No no no. No!
   My breathing quickens.. "i have to go!" I spit out, grabbing my staff and quickly leaving. I can't like him! No!
    I rush down the street and head to the edge of the pride ring.
       I run to the forest and sit against a tree, I cough, gasping for air. My static growing loud.
   Love is not worth my time! With the king of hell no less!!
   I hold my legs, breathing heavily.
"I refuse to believe that! No no no!" I say in a panic.
     Rustling, "alastor?"
