Nobody's POV

Alastor blinked, stretching lazily. She vaguely registered a body next to her and sat up against the headboard woozily, rubbing her temples. Her hair was knotted and matted, bits of dried blood sprinkled through it. She reached up to it, running her hands over her hair. It had been at least a week since she brushed it.

'Wakey wakey.'

Alastor turned with a flash to see Vaggie staring at her, Charlie leaning against her, breathing deeply.

A mortified expression appeared on Alastor's face and she quickly looked away, trying to conjure memories from the night before. Lots of blood and darkness, pain and tears. What???

'Okay, so what happened is there was a blackout and you got scared so you grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go and then you fell asleep so I stayed here and Charlie got lonely so she came too.'

Alastor sighed, her chest feeling tight and sore, breaths shallow.

'It was soo cuteee.' Charlie yawned, stretching.

Alastor flushed, shaking her head and curling her knees to her chest.

'No.'

'Yeah, you like, snuggled into us.'

'Nope.'

'I have photo evidence.'

'Do you though?'

'Yeah its- where'd it go???'

'Womp womp motherfucker.'

'Anyway, the power's back.'

'It would seem so.' Alastor said, rolling her eyes.

Charlie sighed, reaching out and scratching Alastor's ears. Alastor and Vaggie both tensed, then Alastor relaxed, exhaling.

She leaned into her hand slightly, flicking her ear.

Charlie seemed to wake up, pulling her hand back before exclaiming,

'Oh! Sorry Alastor, I didn't-'

'It's fine Charlie.' Alastor flicked his ears towards her unconsciously.

She exhaled a sigh of relief, then hesitantly reached towards her ears again. The slight radio static in the room stopped abruptly as she scratched the base of her ears.

Alastor looked down, shivering slightly. Charlie noticed and pulled away.

'Sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable-'

'No! I mean-' Alastor sighed.

Charlie looked at him strangely.

'Never mind.'

'What?'

'Nothing.'

'...'

'Do you want me to keep doing that?'

'...I mean, if you want, I don't mind.'

Charlie smiled slightly and reached next to her again. Alastor leant into her hand, purring slightly.

Vaggie noticed and her mouth opened and closed several times.

'YOU CAN PURR??'

Alastor flushed red and buried her head in her hands.
