Burning Desire (Alastor X Reader)

Chapter 10 It's better if you stay away from me

note: (BF/N) Your boyfriend name

*

Your friend had set you up at a small table, away from prying eyes and ears.

As usual, he had not done things halfway, the table was very nicely decorated, a few candles and trinkets here and there, and finally, in the center, a very beautiful vase with your favorite flowers. It's been a long time since you've seen them, flowers were so rare and so expensive in hell.

You ordered your favorite meal and Boris ordered his. Once you were served, Boris began to question you.

*

"So my little boss, tell me everything, what happened? How did you get here?"

*

You bit your tongue. You didn't want to talk about all this, even with your best friend..

*

"It's quite complicated Boris."

"Y/N we have all the time, it's not like we're here for eternity, tell me, I want to know everything. A mission went wrong? Or is the poli-"

"I was killed by the Boss" you cut him coldly.

*

Boris' body froze

"Wh-what? The boss killed you? How is that possible? Did he find out that we wanted to make you leave the country with BF/N? Where is he anyway? Isn't He with you? What happened?"

*

You got tense when you heard your boyfriend's name. The images that haunted your nightmares appeared in your brain, making you tremble without you being able to control yourself.

*

"I'll never see him again, Boris. "You said in a trembling voice as you held back from crying.

*

It hurts so much...

*

"Some time after your death, the boss took advantage of the fact that I was psychologically fragile to get rid of him better. I... I could never have predicted what he was going to do in my condition, at the time I didn't even know that the boss was at the origin of your death.

He blew up our car and I was hit by the explosion. I had "the chance" to get out of it but.."

*

You closed your eyes for a moment, even talking to your best friend about it was a torture. You instinctively looked down, and grabbed your stomach, growling in frustration.

Boris was surprised, it was not your style to look down even in the most difficult moments. He noticed that you had turned your head towards his brother who served the Bar's guests and when he saw your hand on his stomach, he understood

*

"Oh shit... I didn't know, I'm really sorry that you lost everything so suddenly and that I wasn't here. »

"It's not your fault" you answered him with the most neutral tone you could use" I got you into my problems Boris, if I hadn't been there you'd still be alive with your little brother. »

*

Boris laughed when he heard your answer

*

"Come on little boss," he began by gently placing his hand on yours to bring you some comfort. "You're not responsible for what happened, you know, I should have been more vigilant and careful before we left on this mission. "
