The sinners secret. {radioapple}

🍎chapter 31🍎

(Alastors pov)

It's late, and I couldn't sleep. Lu wasn't in the mood to cuddle. He wanted to sleep with his duck plush.
I pull out a book and sit on the couch.
Ah, murder in the heartlands. Good book.
I open it and read for I don't know how long.
"Hey smiles." Anthony says, walking by the couch.
"Hello, dear. What are you doing up so late?"
"Just getting a drink, you?" He answers.
"Couldn't sleep."
He grabs a watter bottle from husks bar stand and takes a seat beside me.
"Hows the king doing?" He asks.
"He's doing better."
"Thats good.."
He sips his water, before standing.
"Dont stay up too late." He says before heading back upstairs.
I look down and continue to read.
Antifreeze is a dumb way to kill. But effective. No longer edible though.
"Al..?"
I look up to a half awake Lu standing in front of me, holding his duck in one hand.
"Baby what are you doing out of bed?" I ask, setting the book to the side.
"I turned over and you weren't there.."
I give him a light smile.
"Come here.."
He climbs into my lap and nuzzles into me, holding his little duck between us.
I grab my book and open it back up to the page.
"What are you reading?" He mumbles with his eyes closed.
"Murder in the heartlands."
He yawns. "Mm.."
And he's out.
I read quietly as he sleeps.
The next morning he sits up and rubs his eyes.
"Good morning hun."
"Morning.." he mumbles, laying back down on my chest.
"How'd you sleep?"
"Mm..good.."
"It's rolling on 10am and were meeting asmodeas and fizzarolli for lunch at 12pm."
He groans.
"You set up the meet, no backing out now." I add.
"Finee.." he snaps and he and I are both dressed. His duck plush is gone, presumably on my most likely unmade bed. "Wake me up when it's time to go..."
He closes his eyes and I finish up the book. Hm.
I set it down and look down at lu, who is peacefully sleeping. We're talking with asmodeas about a property in the lust ring. Charlie and I suited it to be perfect for the second hotel.
She made a pro and con chart.

Pros: Cons:
A nice area in hell. A hour drive from pride.
Close to asmodeas. Seriously its kinda far.
Affordable.
Beautiful view.
Lots of extra space
For expansion and
Parties/events.

So the issue, yeah.
She is not a fan of how far it is, she thinks it's going to take away a "murderous" amount of time with both me and Lu. I understand her hesitation, but it is a amazing plot with a good price. This kind of thing is not only rare but damn near impossible.
So me and Lu will be talking about it with ozzie, to know the laws and such of owning properties in the lust ring. Plus he has some experience owning ozzies and his..warehouse.
He's a nice guy, but he does tend to act like angel used to with fizzarolli. Its a bit...odd? For me I suppose. All of these people are recently deceased and up to date. Im neither so, i suppose it is hard to get along with some of them. But regardless I get along well with ozzie.

"Darling we have to head out now." I say, moving his hair from his face.
He nuzzles into me.
"Reschedule for: never."
I chuckle. "Nope, cmon get up."
He whines.
But nonetheless he gets up and rubs his eyes.
"You don't have to consult with ozzie about the hotel and such if you're not up to it, just enjoy the time out with fizzarolli."
"I'm gonna help you run it so I have to atleast pay attention." He mumbles.
I know he won't pay attention when we get there, he'll just get bored and find something to do.

                                 ...

We walk into ozzies and Lu waves at ozzie the moment he sees him.
He makes his way to us, "hey guys!"
"Hey asmo.." Lu says.
"Pleasure to see you." I add.
We all take a seat, and order some drinks.
"Fizz has one more show tonight so he'll join us afterwards." Ozzie explains.
Lu pull his little radio demon duck out of his pocket and fiddles with it while ozzie and I discuss the rules of property ownership in the lust ring.
         "Well none of this should be an issue to us, charlie will be pleased to here that."
The lights dim, its time for fizz's last show.
I look over at the stage and Lu puts his head on my shoulder as he looks aswell.
