Not Like Others

Night Before Masquerade

In the early morning, you went to get some water. As you gave your cup, you turned around and..
There was Alastor! You jump and gasp, your bottle almost flying in the air. He grabbed your cup... and you.
"Relax, my dear. It's just me." He assures.
You catch your breath as his hand rests on your back.
"Scared me." You gasp out.
"Apologies, my dear." He replied.

You and Alastor.. have a bit of a weird relationship. You both talk to each other.  He.. kinda admires your form. And now, knowing your morals, it intrigues him more.
But, if you're being honest,  there was some tension between you two. A weird tension. You felt an attraction to certain traits of his.. a certain low radio voice, his gentleman demeanor...

You catch your breath, and he just watches you, still holding your back.

"So, my dear.." He begins, leaning into your ear.  This made your breath hitch.

"Is there a specific reason you're here to see me?"

"What do you mean?" You ask, sighing shakily.
"My dear,  you keep water in your room.  You've told Charlie you won't drink water in the hotel yet. There's no reason you should be down here." He responded.

Dang it.  He got you.

You sigh.

"So, is there a reason you want to see me?" He asks, in that low radio voice you liked.

"O-on one of your.. previous o-outings..." You began.
Why were you stuttering.  Was it because of fear or... something else?
"Uh-hm..." He hummed in your ear.

Man, this was driving you crazy! You almost wanted to whimper in embarrassment!

"D-did any of it.. concern an... exorcists angel?" You ask.

He froze.

But quickly regained his composure.

"Why do you think that?" He asks.

You look down at his hand.  It was now resting on your hip. You shiver.

"... rumors." You reply.

He wanted to know what rumors were spreading, but there's no need.

Because there were no rumors.

No one knew..

"My dear.." He sighs, his face leaning into your shoulder. You froze.

"It's not nice... to lie."

He grabbed your shoulders and pushed you into the island in the kitchen. You leaned over it, and Alastor held you down.

You breathe out shakily and fast, now more scared.

He stared down at you with a dark smirk.

"Things.. like these.. don't concern you. On the other hand, if you know something.." He trailed off.

He got closer.

"Would you tell me, darling?~" He asks.

You let out a noise. A noise of fear, confusion, worry, and embarrassment.

Why.. was he doing this? Why couldn't he answer this? Why respond like this?

"I-I.." You whimper out.
Your fingers shook with those emotions. They dug into the island. Did you.. say something bad? Did you make him upset?

He caressed your cheek.
"Calm down.. darling. I won't hurt you.." He assures.

You breathe in, trying to calm down

"I-I... I would." You shakily reply.

"Would you now?" He asks, smiling widely.

You nod.

He stares down at you.

He then grabs your shoulders and pulls up and into his body.
You stare at him, not being able to look away.
He was toying with you, and you knew that.

But deep down, this carnal desire of his was there.

"Nice to know." He responds.

In an instant, he disappears into the shadows.

You stood there feeling so many emotions. Fear, confusion, worry, embarrassment, and... a weird new feeling.

You stood there, staring at the floor he stood before. You then placed your cup in the sink and headed back upstairs quickly.

What was that all about?
