🍎chapter 49🍎

(Alastors pov)

I walk into pride cafe, where anthony requested me.
Looking around I see him sitting at a booth.
Lu sitting across from him.
He quickly gets up and rushes over to me.
"Dont you dark think about turning around. Go. Talk to him now!" Anthony demands.
.
Fuck.

"Respectfully. He doesn't want to see me. And frankly I don't want to see him either."
"Oh bullshit! You're both moping around. Go!"
I glare at him, but he doesn't stand down.
For fucks sake.
Lu has joined us, watching in silence.
Clearly uncomfortable.
Probably didn't know about this either.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
"Bye." Anthomy says, rushing out of the cafe.
God damn it.
Lu looks at the ground.
I know him all to well.
He's uncomfortable as fuck right now.

"I-uhm-.." He starts.
"I'm sorry."
He looks up at me.
God damn it he looks exhausted.
And its my fucking fault.
"I'm sorry for pushing you so much, arguing about it. I'm sorry that I drank so much. And I'm sorry I hurt you in the process."
His gaze goes back down.
"I'm sorry for arguing back. And not explaining to you how I felt. I should've. You were only trying to help."
...
Awkward..
"I-.." he starts.
..
"I don't want to just walk away."
He looks up at me.
I want nothing more than to kiss him.
Promise we'll be alright.
But I don't.
I hug him.
His arms wrapping around me as we hold eachother.
I don't ever want to let go of him..

I shadow us to our spot in the forest.
Dropping down as I hold him close.
I rest my back against a tree.
"Are you ready to tell me whats going on?" I ask.
...
He sits up, and looks at me.
"I just..trusting is hard. And I want to believe you won't break that trust..but.."
his gaze falls again, I reach hand out and cup his cheek.
"Keep going."
...
"I'm just..scared.." he mumbles.
The devil. Scared.
Hah.
The fact I scare the most powerful person in hell doesn't feel nearly as good as I thought it would. Before everything.
When I wanted to scare him.
"It's okay to be..Just talk it out with me..I promise you I'll try my hardest to make it better."
He looks down.
"Make another deal with me." I say.
"What?"
"I already have protection on charlotte. Lets make another."
"Like..a love deal..?"
I nod.
"Those are dangerous. Almost as dangerous as love poison."
"A little danger doesn't scare me."
"Are you sure..?" He asks.
"One hundred percent sure."
