Chapter 21 : Family Comes First, Right?

Angel introduced Arackniss and Molly to the others at the hotel, Charlie and Vaggie sat and talked with them while Angel cleaned up and then joined in for a while before heading to the kitchen with the excuse of preparing a meal for everyone. Once inside the kitchen Angel stopped and put his hands on the cold stone counter and tried focusing on that feeling while taking deep breaths, Not even 30 seconds later Angel yelled out and slammed his fists against the counter in frustration. Alastor hadn't followed Angel immediately but when he heard something from the direction of the kitchen Alastor knew something wasn't right and excused himself to the kitchen.

When Alastor enters the kitchen Angel is cutting at a chunk of meat with one of his blades and letting out a cry of anger with each stab and cut, Angel's cries of anger slowly turn to sad sounds of frustration as Angel chops and cuts up everything for dinner. Alastor came up behind Angel and started rubbing his shoulders as he guided Angel to a stool to sit on as he took over cooking. Angel sat there in silence as Alastor cleaned up the cutting and started the meal to cook as he tossed in a few spices, Angel finally spoke "Al, Somethings wrong with me. -'Alastor now looked into Angel's eyes as he spoke'- Seeing Molls and 'Niss was great and not worrying about pop but when we were talking I kept getting distracted, Thinking of ways to hurt Val and make him suffer for what he did -'Angel clenched his fists so tight that his nails made drops of blood leak out'- I wanna find a way to rip his wings off, cripple him, then toss him to the lower rings he likes to made deals with. -'Angel took a deep breath to calm himself'- But I also wanna keep Molls and 'Niss outta this as much as I can, -'Angel looks at his palm as it heals nearly instantly'- I've got you supporting me but they don't got anyone and Val would kill'em or worse."

Angel comes around behind Alastor and hugs him from behind as Angel rests his head against Alastor's back, Alastor holds Angel's hands as he is hugged and then slowly turns around. Alastor brings his hand to Angel's chin and tilted his head before placing a soft kiss on Angel's lips once, twice, Angel slowly wrapped his arms around Alastor's neck with the next kiss and they stood there just holding onto each other. The door to the kitchen suddenly swung open as Molly popped in saying, "Hey Ange, I came to help... oops!"

Alastor smiled at Angel and gently stroked his hair asking, "Feeling better?" Angel took a deep breath. "Your the best, Smiles. -'Angel leans in for one more kiss'- Alright already, Let's get some cooking done." Angel put on an apron and started helping as he told Molly where things were that they needed, Angel made coffee for everyone and then he and Molly sat next to Alastor and chatted. It wasn't until Alastor had pulled out his own frying pan and a shadow showed up with a tray of meats that Angel noticed he had forgotten about Alastor's eating habits, Angel had grown somewhat accustomed to Alastor's cooking and eating but he had no clue how Molly or Arackniss would respond to Alastor being a cannibal.

Angel was happy that nothing seemed to go sideways and was feeling more like his usual self as he took dishes out of the kitchen, Molly took one of the moments where Angel was out of the kitchen and her face went deadpan as she stared at Alastor and spoke. "I know Anthony kinda likes you but stay the fuck away from him, He'll get over you fast enough with us here. He needs his family right now, Not to be played with like some toy. My brother isn't going to be yours or anyone else's whore anymore, So do us all a favor and fuck the hell off." As Molly finished her statement the door opened as Angel came in and Molly was all smiles and chatty again as she left the kitchen with Angel.

Alastor had been truly caught by surprise with the flip of Molly's personality at first, It quickly became a mix of emotion that Alastor wasn't sure how to deal with. Alastor's first response, to kill her, he had to fight against as this is Angel's sister that he cared so much about. Alastor thought about talking to Angel but that idea was quickly and continuously delayed by Molly's insistence to stay with Angel for the next few days, Apparently she wasn't comfortable in a new place and wanted to stay with Angel until she was used to the hotel.
