The rest of the day had gone rather smoothly. You proceeded to assist Alastor- him giving you little kisses each time you approached to bring him something which made you blush more and more each time. Before you both knew it however, night had fallen and it was now 9:00pm, and Alastor had to lock up soon for the late night host to take over for the next hour.

Alastor let out a low whistle as he locked up, you standing beside him, the both of you bundled up in your jackets and scarves to protect from the freezing cold.

"What a day!" He proclaimed, shoving the keys back in his coat pocket.

You smiled up at him, giving him an adoring look. "Uh huh~"

Alastor noticed this as well as the tone in your voice and leaned down to give you a small peck on the lips whilst he offered his arm for you to hold onto. You both were about to head home until you remembered something important, stopping you both in your tracks.

"Something the matter?" Alastor quipped.

You let go of his arm and politely began to explain to him. You pointed over you shoulder at the diner. "Before we go, I should give Cal my resignation letter." You said softly.

Alastor looked inside the diner, it was quiet and empty- but no doubt your ex-boss was still in his office to prepare for any last minute late night costumers. Typically drunken ones from Mimzy's bar downtown. Hm...

"All righty! But say, now that you're my little fawn, how's about we go downtown and visit dear old Mimzy after you're done here?" Alastor chimed, hoping this time you'd agree to visiting his old friend. He truly wished for the two of you to get along. His two favourite gals paling around would be just swell~! And not to mention a big weight off his shoulders.

You hummed unsurely, pressing your lips together and looking at the snow-coated concrete. "I...." You were hoping an answer would come out of your mouth. An 'I don't know' was what you wanted to say- but you figured you'd just sound silly.

Alastor saw your disscontempt and chuckled, gazing down at you through lidded eyes. "Don't worry my pet, if Mimzy gets the wrong idea then I'll just do something like this!"

You were about to ask what but your lips were sealed by his pressing up against yours, his surprisingly strong arms supporting your back as he deeply spun you into a dip so low you almost touched the ground- but Alastor would never let that happen.

The kiss lasted for almost a good minute before he quickly pulled you back up, fixing your hair. "See?" He stroked your apple red cheek. "Not a thing to worry about!"

You paused in shock for a moment, but then slowly started to giggle. "Okay okay, I believe you." To be honest, it wasn't that you didn't trust Alastor, you just didn't trust Mimzy. But you obliged to his offer anyway before turning to head into your old place of work- still a little light headed from that kiss.

Creaking the door open slightly and peaking your head in, you triggered the bell to jingle. Oof, you had a feeling you'd soon become nostalgic for that sound.

Just then Cal scrambled into the room. He looked very disgruntled and in a hurry, his apron was all askew as well. "You're gonna have ta leave, we're closing-" he stopped in his tracks and mid-sentence. "(Y/n)? How come you're here on a Sunday night?"

You chuckled nervously, stepping inside. Oh boy, you didn't think this was going to be this hard.

"Hiya Cal, I just um... wanted to give you something."

Cal's bushy eyebrows raised up, almost to the point where you could see his actual eyes. "Really?"

You bit your lip, silently pitying him as he probably thought it was a gift that you had for him
