🍎chapter 44🍎

(Alastors pov)

I sit up, my head fucking hurts.
Lu.
I look over and he's not in bed.
Did he make it home last night?
I check the clock.
Its 7:30. He's probably making breakfast.
I get up and grab some clothes, heading to the bathroom.
I look into the mirror.
Theres golden blood around my mouth.
He did make it home.
I sigh out of relief.
Wait what happened.
I get dressed and head downstairs to the kitchen.
Lu is sipping coffee while guests are eating.
"Giod will you get that for Niffty." He asks, pointing to the short girl trying to reach the cup on the counter thats been pushed back.
"Sure thing boss."
I walk over and stand next to lu, guving him a side hug.
"Good morning." He says coldly.
"Im sorry for whatever dumb shit I did last night."
"Doesn't matter."
"What?"
"Woah! Hey! Niffty let's not!" He says, setting his coffee down and rushing over to help the guest Niffty threatened.
...
We're talking about this later.

                                        ...

I just finished paperwork, and I'm now heading to my room.
I'm exhausted.
"Boss!"
I turn around.
"Yes vanessa?" I respond.
"Hey uh- I've really just been sitting around all day- is there anything I am here for?"
"Niffty. She's been doing well and asked for you, so you are simply a reward. I will find a place here for you eventually."
"Oh..okay."
"I am off to bed. I suggest you do the same."
I turn around and walk down the hall, opening my door and stepping in.
"Darling I'm home."
No response.
I walk into the bedroom and he's got his nose in a book.
"Hey, what are you reading?"
"All he'll ever be."
I climb into bed next to him and cuddle close.
He doesn't react or reciprocate.
I get in the way of his book.
"Are you okay?"
"Im fine." He says, turning to read.
"You don't seem fine."
...
"Darling talk to me."
"I'm tired." He sets his book down and lays down.
He's not even facing me.
"You can't just not talk to me. There's something wrong and I'm trying to help."
"I am not obligated to talk to you. Goodnight."
He turns off his lamp.
