~The Perfect Apple~

tears

"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME..."
lucifer begged and he clutched Alastor's hand. A single tear fell from his eyes then a full load of them did as he couldn't control his sadness.
"I still need you Al...."

........../\../\/\/\..........

Charlie came running into the room hearing her dad crying she was so confused when she saw Lucifer holding Alastor's limp hand on his bed crying and getting tear drops all over his clothes.
"dad...."
Charlie walked over to him and sat next to her dad looking down at Alastor.
"we did our best..."
Lucifer looked up at his daughter with tears streaming down his face.
"NO NO NO! WE CAN STILL SAVE HIM! THERE IS HOPE!!"
Lucifer was crying a lot now.
"I- Is there hope?'
One of Lucifer's tears fell onto Alastor's face and his ear twitched.
"Dad we tried our best"
Charlie said hugging her father while he cried.

Lucifer was still holding Alastor's lifeless hand in his when he felt Alastor's finger move a slight bit.
"Alastor??"
He said looking down at his beloved deer he thought had died on him.
His hand was cold to the touch bad had a but of life left in it that gave Lucifer hope that his deer wasn't dead after all.
Alastor slowly opened up his eyes slightly and looked up at Lucifer.
"Hey... Luci."
Alastor said as he softly smiled up at him.
Lucifer didn't say anything he was just in shock for a few seconds before forcing himself into a hug with the deer.

"I thought I lost you.."
Alastor tired to sit up but Lucifer gave him a stern look before Alastor laid down again.
"You'll never lose me.... again."
Charlie hugged her dad seeing he was okay now and walked out the door closing it behind her leaving the two demons together.
"You scared me- never do that again"
Lucifer said crossing his arms.
"Never do what again?"
The deer asked confused on what he had done to annoy the king of hell.
"You went limp and I thought you died...."
Lucifer looked away feeling embarrassed.
"Pfft- me dying? Never going to happen"

(HOW'D YOU GET IN HELL THEN BOZO?!?!! ;?!!!!!!!?!?!)

Alastor rubbed his head as his stomach pain began to come back again.
"Lucifer do you mind if I sleep?"
"Oh of course not, bye! :3"
Lucifer said waving at Alastor and Alastor replying with a faint smile.
One he would normally have if he was upset.

~hour later~

Alastor was woken up by another bang on his window.
"You've gotta be kiddin me..."
He slowly got up out of his bed and with some struggle and holding onto the walls for support he opened up the curtain that was blocking the sun out from his room while he was sleeping.
And who would of guessed who was there?

Vox obviously.

Alastor scowled at Vox before he was about to close the curtains when he was stopped by Vox grabbing him by the wrist.
"Get off of me!"
Alastor shouted as his antlers grew bigger just wanting Vox to leave.
"Woah hey hey calm down old friend!"
Vox grabbed Alastor's wrist again but this time it was both of them.
Alastor got disgusted by this and tried to let go but he couldn't Vox's grip was to strong.
"Vox! Let go of me!"

Alastor had to pull away with a lot of force that caused him to fall backwards nearly hitting his head again.
"Just go. away"
Alastor said standing up using the wall for support.
"Your so weak! Using the wall to stand up with! HAHA all most makes me feel bad for you you know Alastor.."
Vox said grinning at the deer that was in pain.
"Yes it oh so nearly makes me feel bad for doing this to you in the first place"
Vox looked Alastor up and down.
"Mmm I did quite the damage to you didnt i?"
Alastor wouldn't dare reply.
"To scared to reply?"

"I'm not scared, just don't wanna waste my breath on a worthless piece of shit like you"
Alastor finnaly said regaining his iconic smile but still being propped up by the wall.
"Oh you bitch!!"
Vox hit Alastor on the arm making him fall to the floor.
"........"
Alastor didn't know what to say anymore.

"Get up... You've suffered bigger wounds than this"
Alastor grabbed at his head getting a horrible headache since he had been hit to the floor.
Vox took a deep breath.
"Get up now..... Don't die on me.."
Vox said holding out his hand for Alastor to grab.
Alastor didn't take Vox's hand instead he just used anything around him to help him get up.
"I don't need help from a tv head-"
He said brushing himself off and looking at Vox with a stern look on his face.
"I suggest you get going now"
Alastor said annoyed that Vox was still in his room.
"Ugh fine"
Vox teleported away and back to the Vees tower where he ranted to Velvette about how selfish Alastor is.

When Vox had teleported away Alastor attempted to make himself Presentable. While trying not to fall over on his way to his desk.

(Ignore the outfit okay)

When he had made himself look some what good he walked out of his room only to nearly fall over.
So he held onto his staff tightly as he was walking to the main lobby to see if anyone was there.
"Hey! Al"
Angel said as he waited for Alastor to walk towards him.
"Yes husk? I mean angel"
He said while walking towards angel nearly falling over but he held onto a wall and tried to not make it obvious.
"So smiles what happened?"
Angel asked looking at him.
"Nothing important-"
Alastor spawned a random cup of tea and started drinking it.

His hand was quite shaky from the lack of sleep he was getting but surely nobody would notice right?
Lucifer then walked the downstairs wondering why Alastor wasn't in his room when he saw him standing perfectly fine?
"Oh hiii Al"
Lucifer said walking over to him and smiling up at him.
"Have you gotten a bit better yet?"
The shortie asked.

(Heh)

"If I was honest.... No"
Alastor's hand was shaking quite a bit now so he his it behind his back while drinking his tea with his different hand that wasn't as shaky.
"I really do hope you get better.. I am really sorry about the side effects"
Lucifer said looking at Alastor's shaking hand.
"Why's your hand shaking?"
He asked while taking his hand from behind his back looking at it.
"It's nothing"
Alastor could feel himself blushing from the king holding his hand but he tired to hide it behind his cup of tea when he dropped it on the floor.
"I don't mean to do that-"
Alastor picked up the cup and held it in his hand knowing if he'd try and walk towards the kitchen to wash it he'd probably fall over on the way there.
'This was a bad idea coming down here why on hell are my hands shaking and why does my head hurt so much?'

He thought to himself before going back into reality.
"Alastor? Helloo???"
Lucifer said tapping him.
"Sorry I'm awake"
He held the cup of tea he had and tried to walk over to the kitchen but on his way there everything started to spin and he lost his balance and fell over.
"Al are you okay?!"
Lucifer said as he ran/walked over to where Alastor had fallen over.
"I'm fine"
Alastor said holding his head wanting everything to stop spinning.
"You look tired Al"
The king said moving Alastor's hand away from his head so he could make eye contact with him.

"I'm not tired I'm perfectly fine"
"Alastor please listen"
Charlie said standing next to her dad while looking down at both of them.
"Right.. I'll sleep sorry-"
Alastor teleported away before any of them could say anything and it left them a bit confused about why'd he just teleported away like that.
But they were happy now that he was finnaly going to sleep.

Or was he......
