[ Downwards ] (Alastor x reader)

Chapter 5

The ground crumbled, and there was a thud.

I finally beat the dummy and it fell to the ground. Again, the dummy was made stronger by me, and, not trying to show off, I am one of the most powerful angels, so the power it received was royal, the highest rank out there. I grabbed my right arm with my other one, knees weak. I spent the whole evening in combat. I let out a shaky sigh and shuffled my way to my room.

Alastor's POV:

I've been looked at her for quite some time. My lips twisted into a wide grin, my eyes narrowing. An angel on my turf. How charming. I gulped down the last of my coffee and placed the cup on my table. I gently placed my hands behind my back, strolling towards the window. I threw the curtains open to see her more. I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I thought she was dying. Ha! 'Dying'! I'm on a roll! Her body slowly disintegrated, turning into small golden butterflies until she fully disappeared. I grinned wider. Such a beautiful sight, I'm truly honoured - an angel, performing such high skills in front of me? I must say, she is incredibly talented, even intriguing, but oh, I'm quite confused. I've never seen such an angel before. What gives her away? Perhaps the wings? The indescribable power? The skills and experience? Yet again, the correct answer would be all three. She definitely is one special being.

I must find out more about her.

Y/N's POV :

I was back in my bed, my wings gone. "That was one heck-of-a workout." I whispered sarcastically to myself.

I got up and trudged towards my mirror and pulled up a chair. My hair was flowing magically, like a river. I've gotten used to it, but I only just managed to properly pay attention to it. It was so... mesmerising.

I chuckled to myself. I was clearly exhausted if I was at the point of flattering myself. I sat there, not knowing what else to do. So I decided to leave.

"Come iinnn~"

That was Angel's voice. I opened the door and saw his bored expression transform into a grinning one as he jumped out of his bed to greet me.

"Hey sweetcheeks! I've missed you... " He frowned for a second, before throwing a pillow at me, "Where have you been? I haven't seen ya since yesterday morning'!" I ducked quickly, my reflexes reacting and I jumped onto him, wrapping my arms around his waist where I can reach.

"Shush..." I mumbled, my face lying on his soft chest fluff.

He groaned and patted my head. "You're lucky you're so cute, otherwise you'd be outta here by now."

"I know~"

This made him chuckle. "Oh my lord, what do you do to me, Y/N." He sat down on his bed, me still clinging onto him. I suddenly opened my eyes, an idea popping into my head.

"Do you wanna go to the park?" My eyes shine as he thinks about my offer. Shrugging, he answered, "Sure."

I jump off him, jumping in place like a kangaroo and he grabbed his fedora. As he closed his door, I was already down the stairs. I accidentally floated down the stairs, but I didn't think he saw me. I groaned impatiently as Angel Dust took an exceptionally long time, probably just to annoy me. "Are you ready?" He nods.

We arrived at the park. I have no idea why I decided to go here, it was just a park after all. We mainly walked around and made small talk - until I decided to mention Alastor.

"Alastor? Why of all people would ya wanna know about him?"

I looked away, tucking a strand of hair behind my ears. My cheeks started to flush with colour, God, this was embarrassing. He seems to have noticed my sudden change of mood.

He started waving his hands in front of him. "Oh no, no, no, baby, I didn't mean it like that!"

I smiled and he continued, "Well, I don't know much about 'im. Vaggie explained somethin' to me a while ago but i couldn't be bothered to listen, ya know? But I do daydream about fuckin' him sometim-" he gets cut off when I push him, my blush slightly returning. He simply laughed and we continue spending the rest of the day together. I guess I'll never get my answers.

After the walk, we decided to go back. There wasn't anything interesting enough for Angel Dust to stay so he picked me up and walked back to the hotel, me playfully punching him. Until I got an idea. I think Angel Dust had noticed since my hits had stopped for a few seconds, yet he decided to ignore it. The key finally opened the door and I leaped onto his massive bed. He sighed, "Oh come on, Y/N, I'm tired too, leave some space for me. I slowly and lazily rolled over and pretended to fall asleep. He smiled and lay down next to me, reading some magazine with half-naked demons on the cover.

I shut my eyes tighter, while I swiftly waved my hand over his face, the motion too quick for him to notice it. So we lay in his giant bed, him asleep, me watching his memories to get to know him more. Molly seemed like such a sweetheart.

After a few minutes, I slowly drifted through his body, another power. My body shone as I moved through his arms that were still holding me in a tight but comfortable grip. A strand of my hair escaped, tickling his cheek. I smiled.

He deserved so much more.

I walked down the corridor, humming a tune I remembered from the mall we went to. I have already embedded the key to the room into my hand, therefore opening it required only a turn of my hand. I push the door further and-

(sorry for the shameless cliffhanger and no interesting bits, I want to make this story a bit longer :P also I love every one you you who reads my stories <3)
