Soulmates From Below ~AlastorxReader~

Chapter 5

It's been about a month now since you joined your new friends at the hotel. During this time, Alastor has asked you frequently to spend time with him. So far he's taken you to dinner, shows, and many late night walks. You loved spending time with him.

He was always joking and making you laugh. By this time you accepted you were too much of a nervous wreck to tell him the truth. Worries would fill your head.

How would he react?

This was hell after all....there aren't supposed to be happy endings...

While you also assumed you didn't have a chance with him, you did wonder why he asked you out so much. He was definitely romantic sometimes, but it seemed more of a gentleman's habit than a personal affair. Each moment you spent with him, you felt yourself falling more and more in lo- well, enchanted by him.

Every night out, you opened up more and more. You were comfortable. When first being around him, you couldn't help but constantly feel flustered, but now you can talk to him with ease (for the most part).

You loved being close to him, around him, even just seeing him. While your demeanor toward him has changed drastically in the last month, his attitude has remained consistent. He treated you the same as he did when you first met, and while this saddened you slightly, you accepted the fact that you were most likely meant to be alone for all eternity. Plus, how was he supposed to treat you if not how he treats most people? You knew you were nothing much more to him than mere entertainment.

Although you were mostly at peace with your theory, you didn't think about it too much since all that mattered to you was spending time with him.

Today, you were excited. Alastor asked you out to accompany him to dinner. While you've eaten dinner with him before, this was different because you were formally going out to a restaurant. Usually when he asks you to dinner, it's his own home cooking (which is very delicious), but it's not the same as going out in public together. Needless to say, you were ecstatic.

While preparing your outfit, a knock echoed through the room.

"Come in!" you say, delight radiating from your face. 

The door opens presenting a tall, handsome demon in the doorway. He grabs your hand and kisses it. "Hello darling! I came to tell you the most unfortunate of news!" His smile grows. 

"Yes, Alastor?" Oh how you loved saying his name.

He twirled you around and dipped you, causing a stream of giggles to escape your lips. 

"Regrettably my dear, I will have to cancel our dinner plans this evening. I have some business to attend to. I'm terribly sorry!" Despite his apology, his voice showed no remorse and, in fact, sounded a little sarcastic. 

Your smile fell. Your hopes were too high. Alastor had a habit of leaving without telling anyone, and was even a bit intrusive at times. It occurred to you that...it's been a month now and you still don't know anything about him. Yes he has told stories of when he was human, but nothing seemed too unusual. Why was he in hell anyway? What did he do? And how was he so powerful?

Alastor broke you out of your daze. "Hello!? Are you there sweetheart? Keep staring at me like that and I might get lost in those beautiful eyes of yours." He leaned in, face centimeters from yours.

You blushed so hard that you wondered if your face was glowing. 

He laughed, "Oh how entertaining!" Setting you on the bed, he walked toward the door. "I'll be back before midnight my dear!" 

Just like that, he was gone. 

You sat there, flustered. 

I feel like I'm forgetting something...
