Radio's Angel (Alastor x Emily)

Alastor

When morning finally came Emily woke up. I hadn't been able to sleep after the rollercoaster that was earlier this morning. First the tragedy that was my childhood, then a new feeling that I blamed on my rut. I blamed it on that, but was it really? Yes! It has to have been that! I don't have such attractions under normal circumstances!

I find myself lost in my thoughts as I try to convince myself that it was really nothing more than a effect of my month long torment.

My attention returns to Emily as she tugs on my shoulder.

"Yes?"

"Are you feeling alright Al? Please answer truthfully."

"I'm fine now. I think I really needed to get that off my chest so thank you for listening to me."

She smiles and hugs me.

"Of course Al, now we should probably get up by now or we might miss breakfast."

"Ah yes, I do wonder what the moth's newest attempt at besting me will be."

I get up and snap my fingers to get changed before heading into the bathroom to freshen up. It only took me just a minute, and when I came out I met an unexpected sight. 

"AL!"

"S-sorry!"

I rush back into the bathroom. 

Why was she changing in my room and not her own?! Did she think I would take longer and decided to just change here for convenience? I should have noticed that the door never opened for her to leave.

Luckily I didn't see anything since her back was to me and she had almost finished getting dressed. After a few minutes I hear a knock on the bathroom door.

"Al? I'm done now."

I open the door carefully until I see that she is indeed fully dressed.

"Why did you change in here without telling me? What if I had finished even five seconds faster?"

"I kind of thought that you would take longer considering how well groomed you seem to keep yourself."

Is she dodging the question?

"Why did you decide to change in my room?"

She looked a little nervous.

"I don't want to talk about it. It's nothing serious, I promise. Just embarrassing."

Embarrassing? Is there another bug in her room so she didn't want to go there to change?

I nod, "Very well, but next time please inform me beforehand as to avoid any possible accidents."

She nods as we leave my room and head downstairs for breakfast. The moth had made some decent crepes with some fresh berries, I wonder where she sourced them?

After breakfast Emily was talking to one of Angels old coworkers named Ruby. After a minute they both walk over to me.

"what can I do for you ladies?"

Ruby tries to speak but ultimately nothing comes out.

"Do not worry my dear, I have no ill intentions or perspectives pertaining to you."

She takes a moment before finally speaking.

"I just wanted to say thanks for getting us away from Val. If you hadn't, I probably would have overdosed by now."

"Are you new to Hell?"

She looks at me confused.

"I've only been here for about a week before you killed Val. I made the deal with him the day I came down here."
