A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Chapter 34: Plans Gone Wrong?

Jotting down the ideas Mimzy recommended. Writing down and scribbling out some of the ones your brother gave you and pausing when hearing one of Alastor's additions. Looking up from the notepad, half of the thought written on the page.

"What?" A groan came from Mimzy at his question, her head falling onto your brother's shoulder in defeat.

"Al, ya can't have a celebratory massacre, this is a wedding we're planning not some..." she trailed off, her pink hues landing on you, "Y/n, don't tell me you're into it." All eyes fell on you, using the notepad to hide your burning face.

"Mim, you forget I used to be an assassin." Your brother giving you a bewildered look, shaking his head. You could see the disappointment in his eyes.

"I thought it would be nice to stain that pure white dress of yours with the blood from our first slaughter together." Alastor took the notepad and set it onto the table, a clawed hand brushing any stray locks from your face.

"Wouldn't it technically be our second?" Hands finding his jacket, sliding up to his shoulders. He sighed, slipping his arms around you and pulling you so that you were sitting on his lap.

"Fine, first one after getting properly reunited, how's that?" Humming in response, you went to kiss him. Halting when your brother cleared his throat.

"We still need to discuss catering and the music as well as the invitations." Your brother started again, picking up the notepad and writing those down.

"Don't forget the cake, it'll be chocolate." Craning your neck to look at Alastor, his half-lidded gaze had met your own.

"I thought you didn't like sweet things anymore." He leaned closer, eyes slipping closed.

"That's because you're all the sugar I need and I know you love cake, so how can we not have one at our wedding?" Your hands gently pulling him even closer and peppering little kisses over his face.

"Can ya two stop being all romantic for one second?! This happened the last time ya planned your wedding." Back to reality as Mimzy stood, arms waving around until crossing them.

"They aren't going to stop-" your brother choking on his words, a thick green chain appearing from the centre of his chest. Following the length of the manifestation to Alastor's hand tugging on it, causing your brother's knees to hit the floor.

"Do you forget who you're talking to? Or do you need a reminder?" The static around you grew thicker. Eyes darting between your brother, clearly in pain and almost in tears because of it and Alastor, his smile no longer the comforting one you had seen moments ago. Your brother opened his mouth to speak, blood spilling from his lips. Sending a glare to the demon holding you.

"Stop it," the static immediately cutting out and the chain fading. Your brother's ragged breathing sounding in the living room, "If you two could give us a moment please." Mimzy nodded, giving Alastor a glare before helping your weakened sibling out of the room. Getting out of his hold and standing up, you didn't even know where to begin.

"Love-" He put his hands on your waist about to pull you back to him. Prying the claws off and stepping away from him.

"Don't give me that," the slight glimpse of shock in his eyes, finding yourself in front of the fireplace, "to think, I thought you were the same man I knew," plucking your wedding photo off of the mantle, fingers trailing over the glass, "and it's almost like I never knew you at all back then either." Turning to find him approaching you, setting the frame back onto the mantle.
