Chapter nineteen
Fanart by @_Krystaal :) Thank you so much!!
You debated with yourself in your mind as the dark room was erupting with sound as the documentary played. But, you weren't paying attention. Something else was on your mind.
Alastor had basically told you he knew about your little crush a few days ago. You wanted to avoid the tall demon, for the sake of embarrassment, but Domino had practically shoved you into a seat next to Alastor. You shivered as you watched the screen display a scratchy, black-and-white film of a small section of Hell, in complete disrepair. Why? Because of Alastor. He had wreaked havoc there. You couldn't love that demon. Could you...?
"The Radio Demon overthrew many of hell's overlords in a short amount of time, claiming certain areas as his. His unrivaled power had caused many demons to fear him, and rarely any would go against him. But, if a weaker demon were to stand up to him, they would be met with certain destruction," the documentary narrator explained. You looked at Alastor out of the corner of your eye, seeing nothing but delight in his red eyes as images of destroyed homes flicked across the screen.
You folded your ears back. He was happy to see the people and places he destroyed. You couldn't help but steal a glance at him. You were in love with him. There's no denying it. He's a narcissistic, pompous, sadistic jackass. And you loved him.
Your hand shook as you moved it closer to the armrest on which Alastor rested his arm. Your heart was beating fast, and you had to steady your breathing. You glanced at the row of seats in front of you where Domino sat. Luckily they weren't going to see this.
In one shaky movement, you rested your fingers on Alastor's hand, looking at him to see his response. His eyes widened for a moment, and he glanced at you. You swallowed nervously. You almost felt your heart crack as he removed his hand from under yours, but then felt joy as he placed it back over yours, holding your hand. You resisted the urge to squeak in happiness, but only smiled at him. He responded with a gentle squeeze of your hand.
You were filled with a feeling of elation, almost to the point that you couldn't pay attention to the documentary. You forced yourself to pay attention, though, since Domino would probably be a shit and quiz you. You noticed you had a smile on your face still, and you had to stop smiling so people wouldn't think you were in love with Alastor...which, of course, you were.
Your view of the screen was slightly blocked by Domino's empty popcorn bucket being held up and back for you. They always ate their popcorn too fast, and they were already past their third bucket. They apparently didn't want to get their own again. In response, you grabbed a handful of your own popcorn and placed it in their bucket, tapping it for them to get it out of your view. They brought their bucket back down to themself and you glanced at Alastor again. You were still in disbelief that you were holding hands right now, but you were so...happy. You haven't been this happy since...since as far as you could remember. You looked back at the screen and then felt a tap on your arm.
You looked to see Charlie. "I have to go get some more soda. Can you watch my seat?" she whispered. You nodded and she left, leaving you to nervously make sure that nobody was able to easily see that Alastor was holding your hand. Luckily, your hands were in a shadow cast by another demon. In what seemed like a matter of seconds, Charlie returned and whispered thanks to you.
{Thyme Skip}
The screen went black and the lights lit up after the documentary came to an end. Alastor promptly let go of your hand, sending a meaningful glance your way that you returned with a smile. He knew you didn't want Domino to know.
"That was so cool! And a bit scary...but mostly cool," Charlie said. You nodded in agreement.
Vaggie had her arms crossed, sending a sharp glare at Alastor. "Now do you believe me when I tell you that you shouldn't fuck with him?" she asked Angel.
"Yeah. But he still looks like a strawberry pimp to me," Angel answered, crossing his arms and legs. Vaggie rolled her eyes.
Domino stood up and then put their knees on their seat, resting their arms on the back of it and looking at you. "I bet that made you fall even more for this radio ass," they said with a mischievous smile.
Your heart seemed to skip a beat. "What? No, why would it do that? It's solely focused on how he fucked everyone up. I want an explanation about how that would make me fall for him."
Domino narrowed their eyes. "Because you have a thing for the bad boys," they told you with a darkly mischievous tone in their voice. You had to admit...they were right. I mean, who else would fall for Alastor? Someone who's into sweet little angel guys? Ha! No.
Domino gasped. "Ooh! (Y/n)! I have a joke. If you and Al had a kid, what would she say?" they asked.
You facepalmed. "Really? Knock it off and act your age."
"Not quite. Try again," they told you.
"How about no?" you asked.
"Alright, fine. She'd always say 'radio gaga'!" they told you excitedly.
You huffed. "Your references to that song are really getting old," you said.
"You just have to suck the fun out of everything, don't ya?" Domino asked.
"And you've just gotta drain my patience and sanity," you told them.
"Mhm," they responded, matter-of-factly.
As you followed the rest of the Hazbin gang, you couldn't help but occasionally glance at Alastor. How else is one supposed to behave when they are in love with someone? Somehow, you remained casual, just chatting with Domino.
"So you're in love with Kobe, right?" you asked.
Domino glanced at the floor. "Y--no! No, I'm not. He's just a friend."
You smirked. "Is that why you two are getting along so well, and you're sharing your popcorn with him? You never share popcorn with anyone."
"He asked, and I was polite and let him have some!" Domino argued.
"You've never let me have any popcorn," you remarked.
Domino was silent for a moment. "Aren't people allowed to change for the better?"
"You don't really try to do that. Ever," you noted.
"Well....maybe I am!" they argued.
"It's pretty ironic that when you pester me about being in love with Alastor, and then you fall for Kobe and I'm not allowed to pester you about it," you told them.
"Fuck that. I'm not falling for Kobe. Plus, you know I'm a hypocrite sometimes," Domino responded.
"Sometimes?" you asked with a smirk.
"The fuck is that supposed to mean?" Domino asked with a fake offended attitude and a sparkle of humor in their eyes. "Either way, I'm right when I accuse you of loving Alastor, and you're not right when you accuse me of loving Kobe."
"No! It's actually the opposite of that. I'm right, you're wrong," you argued.
"Whatever, let's just move on from this bullshit," Domino said with an uncomfortable smile. They sped up their pace to walk next to Angel and start a conversation with him, and you looked past them to Alastor, who was talking with Charlie. You smiled a bit. This day went really well...much better than you had expected. Domino's 'great' idea of forcing you to sit next to Alastor actually was a great idea! But they had no clue...how ironic!
HOLY SHIT THIS WAS SO FUN TO WRITE
Sorry that there wasn't really a good chapter ending tho...I guess I couldn't really figure out a way to end it nicely. It kinda sucks compared to the last chapter's cliffhanger XD But thank you all for reading this! I love you all, and have a great day!! Happy holidays to you all :D And for those of you who don't celebrate, have a great rest of the month :)
