🍎chapter 42🍎

                               (Alastors pov)

Apparently Lu has yet again been betrayed by his father, and brother, and ex wife.
He's been so quiet lately, like thats the only thing on his mind.
I tried to give him a kiss earlier and he declined it.
It's irritating.
But I have to understand.
I have to be patient.
He's sensitive.

I sit down next to him on the couch, he's watching a movie.
He rests his head on my shoulder, my hand linking with his.
"How are you feeling, dear?" I ask, rubbing my thumb against his hand.
"I'm fine."
I pick him up and pull him onto my lap.
"Al-!"
I look into his eyes.
"Tell me your thoughts so I can understand them."
He breaks eye contact, picking at a button on my shirt.
"Lu. Please."
...
"How can I trust you.."
...
"What?"
"Every single person I put my trust in has stabbed me in the back."
"And? I would never do that to you."
He climbs off of me, hugging his knees.
"Everyone says that."
"I mean it."
"How do I know that!"
Don't argue with him.
"Lu." I pull him back over to me. "I will make a soul binding deal if thats what you needed to believe me."
He doesn't make eye contact.
"I love you. Look at me."
I take his chin, making him look up at me.
"I love you so much. I'm sorry I didn't protect you then. But I'm here to protect you now."
I watch as tears brim in his eyes,
"I can't.." he whispers.
"Can't what?"
"Believe you.."
He gets up off my lap and grabs his staff.
"Wait."
"I love you too."
And he teleports.
Fuck.
I can't fucking believe this.

I get up and go to our liquor cabinet.
Pulling out a glass and the dark whiskey.
I add some ice into the cup and pour some.
Stirring it with my finger.
