You're Mine

For that I wouldn't survive

The deer demon quietly stepped into his room, closing the door behind him. Alastor slipped off his torn sweater and cast it aside. His jeans were in no better condition, he grimaced at the holes and burn marks scattered across.

Alastor ran a hand down his face in exhaustion as he sat down on his tall bed. The mattress welcomed him warmly as he laid down.

His body felt stiff, relaxing his muscles was like heaven. He had been so caught up in their battles, he hadn't had a moment to sit and think. Everything was moving so fast around him.

'Hey Alastor?' The feminine voice of Hope softly spoke. Her calm nature reminded Alastor of Charlie, and he responded with a nod. 'I just wanted to let you know that...you are a really good friend for Charlie.'

Alastor chuckled, amused by her mistake. "We are more than friends." 'Oops. Sorry.' Hope sheepishly laughed. The mood was quickly ruined when Desire joined the conversation, an annoyed huff sounded through his head.

"You guys are so fucking retarded." Desire complained as he took a physical form, sitting on Alastor's bed. Another shape flickered into view, this one smaller. "Oh, you admit it. You love me, don't you?" Hope was clearer now, blue eyes and silky hair glowed slightly against the dark room.

Desire let out a gasp, bringing his hand to his chest in offense. "You think I love YOU?! You're the most annoying thing I've had the misfortune to come across!" Alastor sat up, confused by the situation.

Hope laughed at his reaction. "Don't worry, I think you're cute too." "Sh-shut the fuck up!" The shadow pointed a finger to her, but the blush lightly forming on the bridge of his nose was enough to give him away. 'You know it's forbidden for a Thought to love!'

"Ain't stopping you though..." Hope quipped. The two looked back to Alastor, who now gave them the look of, 'What the Hell...' 

The demon cleared his throat, ruffling his hair slightly. "Tell me more about these rules you must follow." Alastor asked politely. He assumed the rules would help him form a plan to defeat Monster; any information would have been important.

"Well, obviously, we can't fall in love with each other," Hope explained. She flashed a sly grin to the shadow beside her. "But we also can't control demons unless it is necessary for our survival." Alastor looked to Desire. "Why did you possess me, then?"

Desire rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. "Because I was trying to escape from Jealousy. He would have torn me t-"

"ALASTOR! COME QUICK, CHARLIE WAS ATTACKED AT THE HOSPITAL!"
