Your eyes suddenly flew open. Your (e/c) irises slightly glowing. You sat up and looked around. It was quiet...but you heard a small snicker in the back of your mind. You huffed. Y/Nb was giving you nightmares again. Of course.

You climbed out of bed and looked yourself over in the mirror. Your (FL/C) flame like hair danced and flickered majestically atop your head and down your back. You smoothed out your (f/c) fur. You heard a humming then, as a tall sharply dress man walked behind you. He was all in red, even his hair with had black in it as well. Two tufts on his head resembled ears and between them were two small antlers. He was grinning widely down at you as he too started rubbing your fur in a way he knew you loved.

"Rough night darling?" He asked, trying to keep his composure when he saw your ears relax and your tail wag slightly. You were so adorable. And you were his sweet little puppy.

"That's an understatement..." you muttered "it was (Y/Nb) again...they just can't seem to give me one good night sleep.." you sighed.

Alastor narrowed his eyes, though his smile stayed, at the mention of your alter ego. His thoughts? He hated them. He hated how they constantly tortured you, how they made you feel weak and worthless. Thankfully, he knew how to counter their words.
Alastor suddenly scooped you up in his arms and carried you to the bed. You let out an adorable little puppy yip, causing your deer demon to chuckle. He sat you in his lap and immediately showered you with affection. One hand rubbed your ears, and the other gave your belly light and gentle scratches. You felt shivers go down your spine. Your ears, flattened in relaxation, but at the same time, your belly twitched and squirmed. Your tail wagged and your paw started shaking a bit just as normal dogs did when they got belly scratches and rubs. Didn't help that the scratches also tickled though, but Alastor knew you loved it. You would have said something against it if you hadn't.

"Now my darling, (Y/N). Listen close, you are the most wonderful demon in all of hell and you are my darling puppy~ I don't know how I went as long as I did without you~" he purred happily as he repeatedly kissed the tip of your nose.

You giggled and stuck your tongue out to give him a light lick on the nose. "Thanks Alastor...you always know how to make me feel better."

"But of course! I wouldn't want that nasty little beast ruining your day! As I always say, you're never fully dressed-"

"Without a smile." You cut him off with a laugh.

He looked down at you and grinned even wider. "Hmm...and here I thought we weren't spending enough time together!"

You had to snort at that. You and Alastor were hardly ever apart. You were inseparable. He never felt right leaving you on your own, especially directly after (Y/Nb) decided to mess with you. Who knew how close you were to a takeover then.

Alastor's eyes softened then and he cupped your cheek. "You're alright though...aren't you?"

You smile and suddenly press your forehead to his. "Yeah. I'm alright. You always chase the darkness away."

"Good! I can't stand the thought of you being unhappy!" He kissed the bridge of your snout. You giggled as you could practically feel (Y/Nb) roll their eyes and act as if they were gagging. It made you smirk that your tender moment was making them uncomfortable. Now you wanted to milk it. You hugged Alastor neck and nuzzled against him, your tail wagging happily behind you. Alastor was taken by surprise but he didn't deny you the hug. He only returned it and stroked your back lovingly.

There was one thing (Y/Nb) could never ruin for you. And that was your loving maniac deer.
