You woke up to the sound of a knock on your door. It went to the rhythm of 'Shave and a Haircut.'

You slid out of bed, still in your (f/c) pajamas with black stripes to see who could be knocking this early. Your tail swayed sleepily while you grasped the knob and opened the door.

Alastor was standing there with his signature smile, wide across his face. It grew bigger once he saw you.

"(Y/n), dear! Good morning," he leaned down and placed a kiss on your hand.

"Hey Alastor, come on in!" You stepped aside and opened the door for him to walk in and shut once he was. "You can take a seat on the bed, I need to get dressed."

Alastor nodded and walked over to the bed to sit down. He watch you pick up your clothes from yesterday and walk into the bathroom.

You came out a minute later, shirt tucked into your pants and your black bowtie carefully positioned in the center of your neck.

"Sorry, I need to get new clothes. I'll worry about it later," you walked over to sit next to Alastor. "So what's up?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to get breakfast. I know a diner not to far away that serves the best crepes! There are so many different options. Not that I eat them all the time, I usually eat my breakfast... Elsewhere," he noticed the amused look on your face.

"I would love to go to breakfast with you. Maybe we could go find me some new clothes afterwards?" You looked at his hands which were folded in his lap as he sat up straight. You usually sat slouched and thought you should probably try to change that habit.

"Whatever you want, dear," he stood up. "Shall we get going?"

You adopted an English accent for a moment to say "Why yes, let's shall!"

You stood up and followed Alastor out of your room.

You locked the door behind you and walked to the elevator next to Alastor, your shoulder bumping up against his arm the whole way.

You pressed the button and waited for the elevator to rise. When it did and the door opened, it revealed a happy looking Charlie.

"Hey Charlie!" You said, walking onto the elevator as she got off.

"Where are you going with Alastor?" She asked.

"Breakfast. We'll be back later," you spoke as the door stared closing. "Bye!"

Alastor wiggled his fingers in a wave to Charlie just before the door shut all the way.

You rode down to the ground level and stepped out next to Alastor. He led you through the lobby towards the front door. On the way, you passed Husk who glared at Alastor as you walked by.

The front door was held open for you by the deer demon. You stepped outside and joined him, listening to the door shut as you and your new friend made your way to get breakfast.

--------------

The diner was pretty small and cute for a building in hell. It had swing music playing and there were some pretty fancy looking demons in there. Most of them were sipping at their tea while reading a newspaper.

"This place you so cute," you mentioned to Alastor who was leading you to a small round table with two chairs near the back.

"It's been around since the late thirties. It was made for demons who lived in the twenties. It's supposed to give off a comforting theme for old souls like myself," Alastor handed you a menu cased in red for you to look through. He didn't have a menu.

"Do you already know what you want?" You asked him. He shook his head.

"I don't like sweet things. I'm going to eat later since I'm not hungry right now," he said.

You had decided to order crepes with strawberries rolled inside with a chocolate drizzle on top.

A waiter wearing a black and white suit walked over with a pad and a pen. He had fear in eyes as he noticed Alastor was sitting there.

"Good morning, do you know what you'd like?" He prepared his pen to jot down your orders. He didn't want to mess up because who knew what Alastor would do to him.

Alastor motioned for you to order first.

"Oh, may I please have Crepes with strawberries and a chocolate drizzle, and a cup of coffee please?" You handed him your menu and he tucked it under his arm.

"And you, sir?" He turned to Alastor.

"Just a cup of coffee please," Alastor requested. The waiter nodded, wrote it down, and dashed off to the kitchen.

Almost seconds later, two mugs were placed on the table in front of you and the waiter poured coffee into them.

"If there is anything else you need, just ask me, okay?" His tail which you hadn't noticed before flicked anxiously.

"Thank you for your help," you smiled at him. Alastor nodded and the waiter walked off.

Alastor took a sip from his coffee as he watched you add two sugar packets and three creamers in yours. You loved when your coffee was made of mostly milk. It made it more tolerable to drink.

"How do you drink so much milk, (y/n)?" Alastor watched you stir your coffee as he set down his.

"I have a sweet tooth," you shrugged. Alastor made a noise that sounded like a giggle, which seemed unlikely coming from him.

"What?" You asked him, picking up your coffee to take a swig of it and put it back down. You looked him in the eye which made him chuckle.

"My dear, you seem too innocent to be a serial killer," he put his mug on the table and folded his hands on his lap.

"I'm sorry, is that an insult?" You joked. Alastor seemed to think he actually offended you. He reached across the table and touched your hands.

"My darling, no, I would never insult you. You just act so..." He hesitated as he searched for the right word. "Cute."

Your eyes widened when he said that word.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" You swiveled your ears forward while you tail flicked side to side in amusement.

"I said you were cute."

"Pardon?" You were trying to piss him off or make him flustered. Either way was fine.

"I said you were cute!" He said in a loud voice. A few demons glanced over at the all powerful radio demon who was now blushing furiously.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no. NO! I meant you acted cute!" He said loud enough for everyone to hear. He had to keep his reputation in good shape. Alastor glared at you with a fake annoyed look as he drank the last of his coffee.

This was going to be a good morning...
