Burning Desire (Alastor X Reader)

Chapter 18 Do I have your permission?

*

You got to the hotel quickly. According to your watch, it was 7:30 in the morning. You even wondered if everyone was awake at that time.

You timidly knocked on the door and entered.

Mmmmh yep, according to the dead silence in the hotel, maybe you were a little too early.

Well it didn't matter, after all you weren't there to chat and make friends, you had to do your job and help this hotel and it was never too early for that. You walked down the hall to the lounge, of course there was no one there, only Husk.

The poor guy was completely slumped over the counter, hugging a bottle of liquor that seemed completely empty.

A sad look appeared on your face as you looked at the winged cat. Seeing him like that gave you a little pinch in your heart, even though you didn't really know him.

With a sigh you discreetly went to the kitchen and decided to prepare breakfast for everyone. You prepared the plates, bowls, the butter and the bread, which you quickly toasted.

The smell of the room quickly began to change as you prepared breakfast. If you hadn't had that awful night and if you hadn't eaten, you would certainly have thrown yourself on the food. You were really satisfied with what you had done.

You were about to leave the room but you immediately felt the familiar smell of deer meat just behind you and a small white noise immediately put your ears on alert.

"Hello my dear! You're up early! "he said in a shrill voice.

You were about to tell him kindly to lower his voice, but someone did it for you.

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST AL! WILL YOU EVER SHUT THE FUCKUP FOR ONCE IN YOUR DAMN LIFE?!" Husk shouted in an aggressive voice.

Well, at least it had the merit of being clear and-

"Ah Husk! Hello to you my friend! I'm so glad you're awake already! I knew you would enjoy this job, but I didn't think you would enjoy it so much that you'd get up so early!" laughed the deer, rolling his eyes as he looked at the door to the livinng room.

You and Alastor could only heard grunts and cursing in response.

"Yes he looks very happy" you dared to provoke with irony by pretending to finish the breakfast table.

"I couldn't agree with you more, my dear. " Alastor laughed, you raised an eyebrow in confusion, had he understood that it was irony? "After all, he can only be satisfied with the fantastic job I found for him," he said proudly.

You shrugged your shoulders, but before you could add anything else the deer hurried to the coffee pot.

"Oh you even made coffee! It's perfect Y/N! " exclaimed the deer as he grabbed a cup and put the liquid inside.

You preferred to remain silent. It was a bit normal to have coffee in the morning, wasn't it?

"Oh, but where are my manners? Would you like some?"

You looked at him in amazement, then? your attention turned back to the coffee. You really wanted to say no, howerver, you felt you needed to have another coffee. You were much too tired, and you had to stay awake.

"Yes please. " you replied without any spirit.

The deer's smile widened and he quickly served you a cup while putting sugar at your disposal.

You thanked him and gently took your cup. It was hot, but not enough to burn you. Strangely enough, the heat it gave off was almost comforting. It would have almost relaxed you if you hadn't seen the look in Alastor's eyes. Did he look... "angry"?
