Morning Drama

The morning sun cast soft rays across the room, gently illuminating the quiet space where Alastor and Vox lay, tangled together in the warmth of sleep. A faint knock on the door went unanswered, and after a moment, the door slowly creaked open.

Charlie poked her head in, whispering, "Alastor?" But her gaze fell on the unexpected sight of Vox curled up beside him, both of them peacefully asleep. Her eyes widened, a mix of surprise and delight flashing across her face. Just as she was about to quietly close the door, Angel Dust strolled by, noticed the open door, and peeked in.

His face lit up with mischief. "Ohhh, would you look at that?" He smirked, whipping out his phone with a devilish grin. "Thank yoooouuu~" he drawled, snapping a quick picture. Stifling a laugh, he tiptoed away with exaggerated glee, his laughter echoing down the hall as he hurried off to show Husk his prized new photo.

Charlie rolled her eyes, exasperated but amused. She turned to close the door, only to see Vox stirring, his eyes barely opening as he noticed her presence. "Charlie?" he mumbled, blinking in confusion. "What... uh, what's going on?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Charlie said, flustered as she spoke in a rush. "I didn't mean to interrupt anything, I just—um, I needed Alastor's help, but it's not urgent, and I'm really happy for you two! If you guys want to talk about this later, I'd love to hear all about it!"

And with that, she quickly shut the door, leaving Vox wide-eyed, the realization of the situation slowly dawning on him. He took a minute to gather his thoughts, still caught off guard by the unexpected visit.

Vox glanced over at Alastor, the initial shock fading as he took in the peaceful expression on his face, the way the morning light highlighted his features. He felt a rare tenderness stirring in his chest as he reached out, cupping Alastor's face in his hand, his thumb brushing gently across his cheek.

The soft touch seemed to soothe both of them, and Vox watched Alastor for a moment longer before lying back down beside him, allowing the calm of the moment to lull him back into a light sleep, feeling for once like he was exactly where he belonged.
