A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Chapter 31: Familiar Faces

Standing in the living room watching as Alastor snapped his fingers. The fireplace coming to life a small black figure in the centre. Watching him pull the creature out by the scruff of its neck two yellow eyes opening wide. You knew those eyes, the ashes dispersed into the air revealing the fat cat to you.

"Your cat." Handing you the feline, immediately hugging her in your arms.

"Al this is amazing, where did you find her?" Scratching under her chin just the way she liked it.

"I found out you buried her in the backyard and a little bit of blood magic goes a long way." Pressing little kisses to her head before setting her on the floor, watching as she waddled over to the chair by the bookshelves. Jumping up and making herself comfortable.

You wandered to the fireplace, reaching up and moving aside the painting above it. Revealing a small square hole in the wall, pulling out a little wooden box, decorated with intricate carvings. Making sure the painting was back in place before turning to him. He didn't say anything, watching as you opened the box up.

"Are those my old glasses?" Claws picking out the old frames, holding them up to his face.

"Yes, and..." trailing off, shuffling through its contents, "your wedding band." The golden ring shining like new. He put his glasses back into the box of keepsakes, taking the ring from you.

"Well," he tried putting it on, "it's certainly not going back on without an adjustment." Stuck halfway down his finger, it started to glow, growing bigger and sliding down his claw. Sizing down to be a perfect fit. Closing the box up and putting it back, hands finding his own and looking up at him.

"If I kiss you will you do that weird thing again?" His smile grew, his staff appearing in his hands.

"I made sure it won't happen anymore." Your hands sliding up his arms and around his shoulders.

"That's wonderful news." Pointing his staff away from the two of you, leaning down as if he already knew what you were going to do.

Using his free hand to cup the side of your face as you brought your lips to his. Ignoring the odd sounds you heard, deepening the kiss. The clearing of a throat making you jump and pull away from Alastor, your lipstick on and around the lazy grin on his face. Whipping your head around to see who was there. Face flushed at the thought of someone seeing the two of you. Three individuals standing across from you.

"Why am I not surprised." The woman in the middle spoke first. Her voice and the way she held herself was so familiar, then it clicked.

"Momma?" Bringing your hands from Alastors shoulders, lingering on the lapels of his jacket.

"Hello, sunshine." Your grip tightened on his jacket, giving him a quick kiss before heading over to your mother. Embracing her in a hug.

"I guess I'm just chopped liver then?" To your right, your brother stood. Parting from your mother you approached him, raising your hand and smacking the top of his head. A loud yell leaving him.
