radiodust: The unlikely duo

the madness of boredom

A day later Angel despite being too late to paint the wall yesterday vaggie insisted on alastor on forcing him to paint the wall but Charlie also suggested since the elevator incident seemed to change how they feel about each other in a way she thought they should do it together. Alastor despite his status wasnt afraid of some manual labor. So he agreed but this time went to get Angel on a more perferred time frame. He knocked on the door with "Angel? Can you come out so I can chat with you?" Angel was heard beyond the door saying "Hold on! Just got outta the shower! Lemme get my to be at least!" It took a moment before the door squeaked open with Angel having a towel wrapped around his head and was wearing a robe with "Sorry I just got up al what ya need deer cakes?"

Alastor chuckled with "I don't believe I've been called that before but I came to tell you some news. Do you want the good news or the bad news first?" Angel groaned "Lemme guess? Vags wants me to paint the wall still? What's the good part of the news?" Alastor snapped his fingers "Well done Angel you are correct! Well Charlie suggested I help you through it! Says it will be a good for us to get to know each other more! But I decided to get you some much needed clothing this time! It isn't fancy but I believe that's the point!" Alastor pulled out a plain shirt and pants for Angel and even work boots.

Angel looked with "I really am gonna hate wearing it but seeing as I didn't even want to wreck the outfit I had yesterday yeah just lemme get changed but I think you should too right?" Angel raised a eyebrow wondering why he was just in his average getup before al snapped his fingers and a pair of overalls and so on work related appeared and he just shrugged "Easy enough to fix!" Angel just chuckled "If there's one thing I always liked about you ever since we met is that you do a damn good job at showing off in style with anything. But I better get dressed in this and get fatnuggets his food bowl filled before I go. I'll meet you downstairs has breakfast started yet?" Angel asked and alastor just said "We were just waiting on you my fellow resident. See you downstairs!" He left with a wave before skipping off.

Angel in the room got his pig fed talking to himself looking in the mirror "He's such a dork! Then again so am I but fuck it! I'm proud of who it! I mean pretty much everyone's got a weird side huh fatty nuglets?" He finished with talking to his pig in a loving manner with the term of endearment he gave it. Angel thought a bit doing any Las minute touch ups he felt the outfit was missing something? His eyes opened wide like a lightbulb with "Oh shit! Yeah I think imma need gloves! I think I have a wool pair that I only had in that ski resort but that wont work well! Uh maybe ill ask charlie if i can get some rubber gloves from niffty at least? But enough stalling!" He said pondering out loud then shaking his thoughts away before making his way out.

As Angel came downstairs alastor greeted him who was in a chirpy attitude "Ah there he is! I already am heating up your coffee!" Alastor said taking the coffee jug from a coffee brewer and continued with "Charlie is making your breakfast it's omelette day so it will be how you like it!" Angel just nodded grabbing a cup for al to pour coffee in with "Thanks uh yeah I'm gonna need the energy. Then again I get pretty energetic when it's a good start to a day so maybe I'll enjoy it more then I think? I dunno but the way it's started is more um the word where you think more positive on outcomes then negative what's it called again?" Angel asked hoping alastor would know.

Alastor answered immediately letting out a calm chuckle with "Well it's a term I try to stick by called optimistic is the term." Angel smacked his knee and pointed at alastor with "Thank you! I hate it when I forget stuff when I am trying to describe stuff! But yeah optimistic!" Charlie came in holding angels and alastors plate with vaggie coming out behind helping niffty with a tray for the other hotel guests food in the dining room with charlie giggling with "I'm so glad your both having such a great start! Anyways here's your food guys enjoy!" Vaggie then interrupted with  "Honestly as long as it gets the wall done faster then go with it." She said a bit in a subtle but calm warning.

Angel just said "No worries vags! I'm here ain't I? I'm cleaning my mess like you and our princess wanted! And thank you both for the omelette!" Alastor finished Applying a handkerchief on himself with "Yes thank you very much! This seems like a divine breakfast to start with!"

After breakfast they started working on the wall Angel asked alastor "Hey uh I gotta ask? Why all of a sudden have you started caring about me? I like it don't get me wrong but you acted different around me then how you usually are." Angel asked as he continued wi his paint roller on the wall and alastor sighed with "To be honest I don't know. I just saw you as a average pervert, but our talk in the elevator showed more about you then I knew. I starting to notice a lot of similarities with how we lived. We both had troubled childhoods, we both killed as adults, and we both experienced a sense of betrayal and resentment to our fathers!" Alastor chuckled then added "Even in death we have different types but we both have some sort of influence in what people see as entertainment." Angel chuckled at alastors honest opinion and joked with "Since when did you see porn as a form of entertainment?" Alastor just responded with "Don't ruin the mood Angel. Painting this wall in time will go faster if our spirits are high."

Angel couldn't help but ask alastor something that bothered him with "Hey uh alastor? I gotta ask ya a personal question? How do you deal with things in hell you dislike? Mainly the ones that violence don't really fix the emotional shit?" Alastor was silent for a moment pondering then answered with "It's a good question. I try and stay positive like everyone and I have even had to have a sense of humor for others misfortunes to cope I suppose?" Angel cocked his head and made a small laugh with "Kinda like if someone died by a really stupid reason? Like if someone jumped off a cliff out of anger  and half way down they realise they overreacted?" Angel couldn't hold his laughter at the grim story he heard that was true. Alastor laughed with Angel on a equal level of understanding with. "Exactly! It's not a nice way but no one in hell really is mostly!"

As time went by they finally finished up as they started packing up the remaining paint cans Angel spoke up with "Hey uh al? I just wanted to say thanks. Does this mean we are friends now?" Alastor nodded with a flick of his wrist his candy and old outfit now on with a snap of his fingers and continued with "Well we aren't exactly potential enemies anymore and we are talking much like friends? So I say yes we are! Long as you keep the topic not the kind you know I prefer not mentioning we should get along fine!" Angel nodded and folded his arms with a grin "Normally I would t least mention sex once but since I like how things are going with us so far I'll make a exception." Alastor nodded then looked with "Well it's getting late we should go inside dinner should be starting soon! I could sure eat something!" Angel just nodded with "Totally! I didn't even realise how damn hungry I am!" As he followed al inside.
