*Alastor*

    Angel’s withdrawal’s had thankfully ended. He was a happy go lucky spirit and tried to cheer everyone up. He was a huge help when I was with him. In the kitchen, he made some of the most delicious food in Hell! Currently he was making some food that needed to be taken up to a resident. Angel worked at their normal pace, but a particular song came on that lit him up. He began dancing by himself, and then he roped me in. I immediately took the lead. He blushed and giggled as we moved and danced. For the very first time, I felt something new. As the armth of his touch spread through me, I felt a flush come to my cheeks. Suddenly, his smile seemed to become more dashing, and those adorable giggles more charming. I felt like I wanted to protect him, and never let him go. We soon ended our dancing, and he finished the last orders of the day. I sat in the lobby going over my feelings, until I heard whispers and giggles surround me.

Damn that Radio Demon is falling for a slut?

Are they soulmates?! How’d he get stuck with that skank!?

They can’t even dance right! Ha! Angel was to tall for Alastor to even twirl correctly!

    My mind spiraled with all these remarks. I was not in love with Angel Dust! There was absoloutely no way! I growled, lettng the guests know I heard and they scurried away. I went up to my room. I paced in my room, and realised people thought I was a damned joke! People believed we were together!? We were simply friends! I realised this could be a weakness to others… to me... 

I felt my mood shift as  planned the night away. Soon it was later in the night, so I want to Angel’s room and looked at their sleeping form. I then proceeded to tie them up gently, and put them over my shoulder. Angel had always been a heavy sleeper, so this was a peace of cake. We went to an abandonded building, and I waited for him to wake up. The plan was to kill him, and then no one would have any weakness against me. It was that damned simple! I chuckled to myself as I sat and waited to kill him.

    Angel woke up a bit, and squirmed in discomfort. I chuckled lowly causing him to flinch and still. I already saw tears forming in his eyes. I got to his level and helped him up. He looked scared as he shook in fear. I chuckled in amusement. He was still adorable. I got up with a gun in hand, and pointed it to his head. Angel cried and closed his eyes. 

“I’m sorry Angel. You threaten my reputation, and for that I need you gone.” He opened his eyes ad looked to me in fear. I tried not to focus on his fear filled eyes. “It will be quick and painless because we were very good friends.” I went to pull the trigger, but… Angel looked to me with beautiful eyes…

I felt tears plagued my eyes. I shut my eyes and fell to my knees. I hugged him.

“Alastor! Don’t do it! It doesn’t need to be like this! You are so much more than this my baby! You can be so much better than this!” I cried as my mother’s voice screamed in my head. I had killed her then. I looked to Angel and held his face in my hands.

“I’m so sorry…” Angel nodded as I hugged him again and just wept… He had my mothers eyes of notjing but love and purity,  and that was enough to break me. I eventually untied Angel,  and he seemed to calm down. He still smiled at me,  even after all the fear I caused him.

"D-do you still want me dead?" I shook my head and sighed as he asked.

"No… I really didn't. I just… was afraid of what people thought of me. They always speak about us,  and it made me… insecure. I am so sorry. I understand if we aren't friends anymore…" I looked to my lap and let a couple tears fall. Angel giggled and hugged me.

"It's ok Smiles! I understand that feeling of eyes bein' on ya,  but you gotta not care. We're best friends!" Angel hugged me and I hugged him close. He was so gentle and sweet. Kindest person I had ever met. We went home,  and I was extremely cold,  but Angel held my hand. I felt so much warmth and love from him. It caused me to flush again with warmth. Angel took me to my room and made sure I was alright. He even tucked me in. The dear was lovely. Angel sat,  but seemed nervous.

"Alastor… what do people say about me?" He looked like an innocent puppy,  and that made it harder for me to decide what to say. I would never do anything to harm him- well except nearly killing him- but I tried to be honest anyway.

"They say very hurtful things… but none of it is true.  You are a wonderful friend, and even if we aren't together…" I blushed red and felt my stomach turn. "I am really glad you're my soulmate." Angel blushed and hugged me.

"I am glad you are my soulmate too Alastor." Angel fell asleep in my arms from his tiredness. I tucked him into my bed. I wasn't sure how to feel. Angel stirred many unusual emotions in me, but they were normally pleasant. I sighed and hugged onto him. He was so warm,  it was intoxicating. When we danced earlier,  I felt so alive and happy. Why was he making me feel this way? I had to resist. This couldn't be love! I haven't loved anyone but my mother… after I lost her,  I lost everything,  but… I tried to imagine a life without Angel… and felt just as devastated as if I lost my mother again.
