Criminal Love - Alastor X Female Reader

Chapter 103 - Hotel Celebration

"My dear, sweet wife, you look absolutely stunning as always," Alastor complimented, taking your hand and placing a gentle kiss upon it taking in your attire which was a simple black sparkly jumpsuit as you threw your hair up in a high ponytail.

You smiled gracefully, though a hint of curiosity lingered in your eyes.

"Al, why have you never questioned it?"

"Questioned what?" He frowned.

"Why I don't wear any..."

Alastor clocked on what you were implying.

"Because I know that although you've healed from that traumatic event, even trusting me to be intimate with you. I know what he said and how he managed to gain... access haunts you."

You looked away, feeling a bit of shame.

You then felt him firmly grasp your chin in his hand to make you look back at him. "You are not an easy access, my dear. You are strong and loyal." He softly spoke as he then caressed your cheeks in his hands. "I love you, (Y/N)."

"I love you too, Al." You softly said, holding back the tears. "Forever and always." He whispered, bringing you back to that night.

"(Y/N), whatever is the matter?" Alastor frowned, seeing you sat in your room at your vanity table looking at your reflection.

"Why?.."

Alastor's face displayed a look of confusion in response to the unexpected question.

"Why, what ma chérie?"

"Why do you love me? What makes me so special for you to only have an interest in me." You said in a more disgusted tone, referring to yourself.

You had come back from the shops for a random young woman to comment about your appearance and questioning why a famous radio host is married to someone like you. Admittedly, the comment did get to you, but you needed that reassurance.

Alastor approached you, kneeling down in front of you as he gently took your hands in his.

"What happened?" He asked in a serious tone, knowing this wasn't just random but someone saying something to spiral your emotions.

"I was shopping when... some woman commented about my... appearance and questioned why someone like you is with someone like me..."

You then avoided his gaze. Alastor placed a finger under your chin to make you look back into his honey coloured eyes.

"Because I only have eyes for you and you alone. No one can replace what we share. My dear, we grew up together and knew everything about each other. I don't think anyone can handle or stomach what I do as a... hobby. I can be myself and not have to hide anything about it. You are my first and only love." He whispered softly to the last part, caressing your cheek in his hand.

You smiled lightly, leaning in to his touch.

"You are my forever and always."

"Forever and always," you whispered back.

"I will forever be grateful that we have eternity together."
