A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Chapter 8: When Annoyed, Some Use Guns

The Radio Demon stood there dumbfounded. Who did you think you were, mocking him like that and getting away from him too. You even managed to send his shadow away without him knowing how you did it. It certainly intrigued him. Not to mention he had never heard of you before, not even through his network of shadows and deals. Absolutely infuriating to him because you looked so much like her, but she was in Heaven. Out of all the demons he found to be named after her, you had proven to be the most similar.

"Al, are ya doing alright?" Mimzy brought him back to reality. She had seen the intent in his eyes, like many times before. Between the radio static and the symbols floating around him, she just thought she'd ask.

"I am perfectly fine." He was still trying to get over how you talked to him that way, why he didn't kill you on the spot for it. Perhaps it was the resemblance to her that made him falter.

"Y/n isn't that bad, ya might actually get to like her if ya give her a chance." How could Mimzy even suggest the possibility?

"No." He was not going to risk it. If he let his guard down for even a second you could very well ruin him. There was no way you could be defenceless, being so bold to a demon you knew was an Overlord. It was suicidal.

"Don't kill this one, she reminds me of our Y/n." His friend got attached already, interesting. You were quite the slippery one, he would give you that.

"I can't make any promises," now that you were out of the way, "I do have a favour I need to ask of you."

"I knew you were here for a reason, I can't right now, Y/n already asked me to do something for her." Of course, you had already asked! Damn you!

"Very well, let me know if you're interested and I'll see you next time." With that out of the way, he was gone. Not back to the hotel just yet, to go hunting. He needed to blow off some steam and he found that was the best way to do it.

Noise. Waking you from your slumber. Causing you a headache. Why couldn't they just shut up out there for once?!

That noise wasn't one from outside. Opening your eyes, you stared at your phone that had manifested beside you. Sitting up, you yawned before grabbing the receiver and mumbling a hello. Pausing before putting to your ear and hearing the King of Hell on the other end.

"I figured you were asleep so I decided to call," of course he did, "how's the threatening going for the hotel?" Squinting your eyes before groaning once recalling everything that had happened.

"Charlie figured it out already." Lilith probably already told him about the whole ordeal, or she didn't and told him to call. The fact he would call you at this time of the day, it was the afternoon sure. You had a long night.

"Well, that's no fun, how are people supposed to learn if not by fear?" You were too tired for his shit right now, "either way, you might as well move into the hotel and help from there." He sounded so happy with his conclusion as if it were the smartest idea he'd ever had.
