Queen of Hearts (Alastor x Reader)

Confession

I knock the door 3 times and wait for a moment, he didn't answer, I was about to knock again but the door suddenly opens revealing a wet Cerberus, he was obviously in the shower.

-Can I come in?- I asked- or should I wait here?- I know his body but I don't want misunderstandings here.

-Come in...- He moves to the side to let me in, I entered his room, it was similar to mine only with another distribution, he closes the door again and go to the bathroom again. I sit in his bed and took a pillow, it was fluffy, I bury my face in it, I shouldn't drink so much... damn you Husk, and your delicious drinks...

After a few minutes, Cerberus came out of his bathroom with a towel in his head, he looks at me with a strange face.

-Are you mad at me?- I asked.

-Why do you think that?- he takes a sit in a chair, still drying his hair.

-I don't know... you look me like I do something wrong...- I said- what's the matter?

-Did you know he was here?- he asked leaving the towel in his head preventing me to see his face.

-Of course not...- I was kind of offended.

-I don't want him near you- he stated.

-Cerberus

-I know what you are about to say... I know you are an adult... but I only want to protect you... he is a powerful demon, known as a man who likes to torture and broadcast the death of his enemies- He takes a long breath- I can't protect you from him

-He won't do anything to me- I walk to his side and continue to dry his hair.

-Please...- he took my hands to stop me- don't give that shit to me, I know you are a powerful demon too, but, he is different.

-Cerberus- I took his head in my hand and make him look at me but he avoids my eyes- look at me- I said firmly- Alastor will never do anything to me, I assure you

-How are you so sure about that?- he asked.

-Well... there is something you don't know about me...- I confessed- all I can tell you now is that... Alastor and I knew each other when we were alive... and things didn't go well... nor for me, nor for Alastor... that's why I feel so uncomfortable around him... but trust me, he won't dare to do something to me, nor you...

-...- he whimper- fine... now... can you tell me why you smell like tropical fruits and alcohol?

-Oh... I met with an old friend in the bar, and take some drinks- I admitted.

-Is there a bar? Doesn't this hotel supposed to be a place to rehabilitate?

-Yeah... but that's an exception...

-Well, now I've talked to you, I have to found Charlie, I want to know what kind of job we have to do here- I walk to the door and make my exit- you should rest buddy...- I give him a smile and then I close the door.

Walking through the corridors of the hotel I saw Angel, he was about to enter his room.

-Angel!- I call his attention.

-Hi darling- he greeted.

-Hi... again... do you know by any chance where is Charlie?- I asked.

-I'm afraid I don't... why?- he crossed 2 pairs of arms.

-I just want to know what job I must do here- I said.

-You want to work here? Why?- he asked shocked- I mean... you are a celebrity here in hell, why would you need to work here?
