A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Chapter 26: Tell Her Already!!!

"Mimzy you don't understand, we were finally together again and she was in my arms and I let her go...again!" Anything for your happiness because when you were happy, he was happy.

"Al, you'll get her back, that'll be what...fourth times a charm?" Her arms crossed against her chest as she shivered a bit, sitting on a nearby stump, "As long as you actually tell her yourself this time ya hopeless romantic."

"The first time didn't count Mim," snapping his fingers and summoning one of your shawls, handing it to the blonde, "and I am not a hopeless romantic, I just need to give her space and make her trust me before I tell her."

"Thanks and sure that'll take ages knowing you two, it's really cold here how do ya stand it?" Pulling the warm garment around her shoulders and changing the subject. Typical.

"I don't." Leaving the Vilokan and appearing in the lobby of the hotel once more. Mimzy heading over and talking with Niffty.

"Y/n," Charlie called your name, his head turning in that direction, "why did you freeze everyone?" You were standing with Vaggie, a piece of black forest pie on a plate in her hands.

"Well Husk was about to step on Vaggie's hair and I panicked."

"Okay, but why'd you disappear like that?"

"Because Vaggie had been trying to talk to me all day and so I took the opportunity," you summoned another plate with pie on it, "pie?" The princess smiled.

"Yes please." Taking the plate from your hands you sent her and Vaggie off together, the two girls talking together. He didn't get a chance to tell Vaggie to keep quiet about you and Charlie might say something.

You had joined Mimzy and Niffty, both of them now aware of your situation. Heading towards the two girls now sitting on the couch.

"Alastor." Your sweet voice called out to him and he couldn't help but immediately turn around, disregarding the two and changing his direction.

"Yes, darling?" Now in front of you, the cute smile on your face.

"Do you mind if I take you up on that offer to see the ballroom?" Batting your lashes at him he gulped.

"Not at all!" On the way there you linked your arm with his making his stomach do a flip. Avoiding your eyes as he led you down the halls.

He hadn't removed your arm from his and to top it off he was avoiding your gaze. It seemed he let you get away with quite a bit. Interesting. The entrance to the ballroom came into view so you left his side, heels sounding against the decorated tiles on the floor. With how much Lucifer and Lilith do the polka you were surprised none were cracked.

Music began to play as you made your way to the curtains. Opening up all of them to let some light in. Stained glass panes colouring the light passing through the windows, illuminating the ballroom in a bright array of reds and pinks. Apples were certainly Lucifer's thing.
