You Won't Get Away Twice (Alastor x Reader)

Chapter 48: Your move, gentlemen.

Quick Note: Alright, I have a crazy idea for a future chapter of this story that closely involves this chapter. I don't want to give anything away; all I can say is that I'm currently drafting the future chapter (10/25/2024), and that I will be VERY CLOSELY looking at comments for this chapter. That's it... that's all I can say... thank you for listening to this broadcast. 

Enjoy the show!

After Angel decided on an outfit that he was happy with, the three of us made it to a pretty busy night club. The bumping scene was Angel's suggestion, of course.

The loud music, colorful lights, and plenty of drinking and dancing is a scene I know. But I'm not too comfortable in large crowds. I've gone out to a few club scenes like this for intel, but I would never come here of my own choice. However, getting to see Angel happily dancing his way up to the bar while Husk watches in adoration is a welcoming scene.

"So, you like him, don't you?" I question Husk. It's just the two of us at our table. Sure, other demons are nearby, but none of them are paying us any mind. I give Husk my 'know it all' eyes as my tail flicks back and forth slowly.

"N-... I mean.... Well..." Husk is really struggling with how to answer this. I can't help but laugh.

"It's a simple yes or no question." I reiterate. This earns me a playful glare from Husk.

"Oh, you want to talk about relationships, sly vixen?" Husk counters, giving me the same eyes I gave him earlier. He knows too much.

"Oooooh. Touche and well played, my good man." I slightly laugh as I back off the subject. Before I can ask anything else, Angel comes back to the table with three shots.

"Angel, we gave you our drink order. These aren't our drinks." Husk looks at the small shot glass.

"Yeah, I know. These are the appetizers. Drinks are on their way." Angel says as he puts one small glass in Husk's hand and one in mine. "To freedom! And boy has it never felt so good!" Angel says proudly as he clinks his small glass with mine and Husk. A toast in celebration as we each take our shots.

"Whoa! What in the unholy Hell was that?!" I ask Angel after taking the shot. It was delicious. It didn't even taste like alcohol. Those could be dangerous.

"Something I came up with. Amazing, right?" Angel says with a laugh as one of the servers comes to our table with our actual order of drinks. A classy martini for Angel, a double Burbon for Husk, and a vodka cranberry for me.

"Too sweet." Husk says as he takes a sip of his Burbon. "Much better." He sighs in relief.

"So, let's get to the point, how did you get our contacts?" Angel asks, getting Husk's attention as they both look at me.

"Well, where do I even begin?" I ask as I take a gulp of my drink. "I've been working towards Husk's contract for a while now. I had an agreement with Alastor. If I fulfilled my end of the deal, then he promised me Husk's contract. Alastor is many things, but he doesn't break his promises." I explain vaguely, taking another gulp.

"What did you have to do?" Husk asks me. I can hear the concern in his voice.

"Don't worry about it. Nothing I wasn't willing to comply with." I laugh, trying to get him to stop worrying.

Angel leans a little closer, eyeing me up and down. What's he planning?

"If one of the acts you had to fulfill involved you sleeping with him, take a sip of your drink." Angel says clearly, making Husk's eyes widen.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Husk begins. "There's no way he would-"

I try to quickly take a sip of my drink while Husk is talking with Angel, hoping he would miss the gesture. My quick movement makes Angel's smirk widen and Husk stops talking midsentence, completely focused on me with even wider eyes.

"What?! I was thirsty." I shrug, trying to play it off like it had nothing to do with Angel's statement. But they're not fooled.

Before either of the boys can respond, the server comes back with another round of shots.

"Angel?" Husk looks at Angel.

"Round two bitches!" Angel grabs another small glass. "We're going to have a fun night!"

Oh boy, I'm in for a crazy night with these boys, aren't I?

A few drinks and shots later, we aren't sitting at the table anymore. We were able to get a private booth more in the back of the club. Which is perfect, because lying on the plush booth feels much better than sitting on a high stool.

"And fuck Valentino!" I say loudly with a laugh. I look up and see Angel looking down at me, my head in his lap as he runs his hand in my hair, laughing.

"But not in a sexy way!" Angel laughs.

"So let me get this straight." Husk says, getting mine and Angel's attention. Husk is sitting in the booth at a bit of an angle with a bottle in his hand. He's obviously celebrating a bit hard as well. "You and Alastor infiltrated the V's tower. Before you left you just straight up told Valentino to give you Angel's contract, and he did?" Husk questions.

"Yeeeeah!" I draw out, not getting up from Angel's lap. "I may have had some leverage over him, but there was no way I was leaving that tower without my boy's soooooul!" I reach my hands up and around Angel's neck, making him laugh.

"You're fricking hilarious." Angel laughs.

"Uh huh. Now you!" I drunkenly point at Angel. "And you!" I point with my other hand at Husk before putting both pointer fingers together. "Kiss." This makes both of them laugh.

"Come on, Whiskers, she said to!" Angel taunts, not moving from his spot.

"Nice try, sly vixen." Husk laughs, shaking his head. "You'll get to see me kiss Angel the day we get to see the Bo-... the Radio Demon kiss you, how about that?" Husk jokes, taking a sip of his bottle. Did he almost accidentally call Alastor his boss?

"Gentlemen?" My ear twitches at the sound of his static tone. I sit up and look at the end of our booth, where Alastor is standing with his head slightly tilted to the side, he looks confused but still stoic.

"Alastor!" I am so happy to see him. I hold my arms out towards him. "Kiss me!" I basically yell at him. If he does, then Husk will kiss Angel!

Husk basically chokes on his drink and starts coughing. Angel is doing everything he can to hold in his laugh, I can tell.

I see Alastor's eyes widen just a little bit. He looks over at Husk. "How much has she drank?" He asks Husk.

Husk takes a minute and looks at his hands, beginning to count his fingers.

Alastor sighs, slightly annoyed. "How much have you had to drink?" He mutters.

"Let's just say a lot, Smiles." Angel says with a slight laugh, causing Alastor's eye to twitch. "You here to pick her up?" He asks.

"That's the plan." Alastor answers, looking back at me. "You ready to go?" He asks.

"Yeah, okay!" I still feel a little drunk, but at least I don't feel like I'll forget the conversations from tonight. I scoot my way out of the booth and walk up to Alastor, standing next to him with a smile. My tail is swaying a bit more than usual. It's obvious I'm happy.

"Then let's go." Alastor says as he turns around. "Oh... but before we do..." He stops before he gets too far, looks back at me, pulls me by my waist and gives me one quick but passionate kiss on the lips. The surprise is evident on my face as he pulls away, looking at Husk and Angel before telling the two...

"Your move, gentlemen."
