A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Chapter 13: Not Funny Seeing You Here

"No, I'm not telling them about that." Face heating up as Charlie mentioned the memory. You didn't think she would remember that one. You had pulled your glove back on, hoping no one noticed the scars.

"Well now you have to, I wanna know." Angel Dust claimed, it came as a bit of a shock. Why did he want to know about the time you almost set the house on fire?

"Maybe another time." He booed at you, holding his pet pig in a set of arms. Niffty sat to your right playing with the bow on your dress, Charlie sat criss-cross on the floor, Vaggie sat to your left and Husk was at the bar passed out. When you had finally gotten to see Husk for the first time, you were a little shocked. He looked like the cat you had when alive, but he wasn't and you kept having to resist the urge to call him anything other than Husk.

"Well, how about the time you broke the antler off of one of his deer heads?" You still had the antler to it, and now technically two more.

"Oh he was so mad, I managed to convince him the cat did it." How you missed that dumb cat, scared of everything and anyone that came to the door. Oddly enough, though your husband would never admit it, it had an attachment to him.

"So, what did I miss?" A shiver ran through you as the shadowy demon spawned directly in front of the small group gathered around you.

"Nothing important." He seemed different. He hadn't said anything condescending yet, not one remark. You crushed him under the limousine and called him a bastard, any Overlord would've had you at the neck by now.

"I almost forgot you two haven't met yet!" The blonde stood, taking your hands and pulling you from your seat on the couch, "Y/n this is Alastor, Alastor this is my special guest, Y/n, she'll be staying at the hotel to help out." She was so enthusiastic about it you couldn't tell her the two of you already met. Not to mention you didn't get along either.

"How wonderful to finally meet you, darling." He took your hand, his clawed one much larger than your own. A predatory glint in his red eyes, you put on a smile.

"Yes, how nice to meet you too," struggling to get the compliment out, you had to yank your hand away, "I'm surprised you caught the attention from an Overlord, I'm sure there are no ulterior motives." Casting him a glare you then focused your attention on Charlie your eyes softening. The girl shrugging and giving you a sheepish look.

"He's probably looking for some way to destroy us from the inside out." The words from Vaggie causing you to wave her concerns off. Charlie giving Vaggie a surprised look.

"Don't worry, one wrong move and he'll be out of Hell before you know it."

"How would you do that? You don't have a portal to Earth do you?" Angel finally stood, bringing the pig with him. Wanting to hug the cute pink animal something you had to resist.

"No, but wherever one goes after dying a second time, I can guarantee a one-way ticket." The threat didn't set him off, not like before. Maybe you had to try harder this time. Find something, anything just to get under his skin. It was so fun the last time.
