^MY ALASTOR COSTUME CAME^

It has been one night since he had asked him out that evening, Alastor had stayed in his room that night, and angel had aloud him to nestle into his side. Angel groggily opened his eyes, and was stunned for a moment as he remembered yesterday's events. He furrowed his eyebrows for a second, attempting to recall wether it was a dream or not- this was until he looked down and noticed that the red deer demon was peacefully sleeping on his chest, his long spindly arms wrapped tightly around him, a gentle purr emanating from him. Angel looked down in awe, he didn't know it was possible to love someone so much. He reached out an arm and gently stroked his ears. Alastor twitched a little, before purring louder at the sudden contact, still fast asleep.

After a while of petting the red demon, angel was spaced out, lost in his own thoughts. He recoiled his hand airily, but was quickly jolted out of his mind by a sudden movement. (This is based on what my cat does when I stop stroking her🥺) He felt Alastor begin to repeatedly rub his head into angels side, attempting to get his attention so that he would continue stroking him. He nudged him until angel chuckled and placed a hand back onto him. He could hardly breathe because of how adorable this was. Alastor, of course, was still fast asleep, and had no clue what had happened.

Another ten minutes went by, and angel was surprised by Alastor reaching out his hands and stretching them out in front of him, arms still around angels waist. After stretching, he wrapped them around angel again and let out a sound that could be describable as a yawn. He began settling down to sleep again, until his eyes crashed open, as he realised where he was. "O-oh!" He exclaimed in a rather shocked tone. "I- I'm sorry my dear, I must have fallen asleep." He spoke, clearly flustered as he blushed and looked down. "It's fine, ya know, your so adorable when ya sleep. So peaceful." He dreamily stated, mildly annoying Alastor, but secretly enjoying the compliment.

Angel could tell that he loved compliments of course, as he could see his tail wag when ever he mentioned one to the demon. But he didn't let on the fact that he knew this. "What time is it..." Alastor mumbled, sleep laced his voice. Angel hummed as he looked over at the clock. "It's half twelve." He simply told, but at this, Alastor's previously relaxed and droopy ears pricked up, and he bolted from angels lap. "Oh my, I'm ever so late for work!" He expressed in a panicked tone. "Al, al, al, calm down, I'm sure Charlie won't mind, ya haven't literally ever been late and your the only one that does shit around here except nifty." He suggested reasonably. This seemed to slightly calm Alastor, until his mind moved into the next thing. "But what if they know that you slept with me?!" Alastor cried. Angel almost choked on thin air as he gasped at what Alastor had said. His face flustered as he said; "you gotta be careful at how you phrase things al!" Trying to steady himself. Alastor tilted his head in confusion, as angel rolled his eyes. "I'll tell ya later, I don't wanna spoil ya innocence." He shrugged as Alastor shot him a disagreeing look. But he knew they didn't have time to argue.

Alastor began hurriedly getting dressed, dashing around the room, as angel sat calmly on the vast and luxurious bed, watching him amused. Alastor stopped in his tracks. "Uh, ahem, angel." He began, getting the white furred demons attention. He urged him to continue. "Would you mind, you know, not watching?" He asked, slightly embarrassed. "Uh, sure?" He shrugged, not seeing what the big deal was. But then again, he was a porn actor, and the majority of hells residents had seen him naked. "Thank you my dear." Alastor chirpily cried as he continued.

Angel accidentally let his glance slide onto the mirror on the other side of the room, and he caught himself staring at Alastor who took off his shirt, facing away from angel. The demons jaw dropped as he saw how sculpturesque Alastor was. "Angel..." he growled warningly, somehow seeing him, despite not even turning around. "Sorry, sorry." He huffed as he casted his sight away from the extravagant looking mirror.

"You can look now." Alastor muttered, as angel turned to see him wearing his usual attire, his hair fixed from its previously messy state. "Aren't you changing, angel?" He asked, gesturing to angels oversized pink jumper that he had been wearing. "Nah, I don't have to work till late." He shrugged, at this, alastors ears dropped. He had noticed the hint of sadness in his voice as the had mentioned his work, a thing that he truly hated- especially his boss, Valentino. "Oh, so you still work for him." Alastor asked, not trying to keep the spite out of his voice at the mention of val, a demon of which he despised, from what Angel had told him. Angel gulped and nodded. "You don't have to do this you know, you can quit." Alastor suggested in a stern voice, yet it held a caring note.

Angel knew that if he quit, there would be dire consequences, but he was almost at the end of his tether. Alastor headed downstairs, angel following shortly behind. "Wait!" He whisper cried, just as they were about to enter the hotel staff lounge where everyone was talking and relaxing. "If we both come at the same time, they are bound to be onto us!" He explained, in a desperate kind of voice. Angel and alastor both threw points across to each other, not realising how loud they had gotten. They were suddenly interrupted by a small cough, clearly to gain their attention. It was vaggie. "Uh, guys, why don't you stop the old-married-couple arguing, and just come and sit down." She drawled, as Alastor and angel suddenly noticed that everyone inside the room was now looking in their direction, even nifty had stopped cleaning to glance over, and husk had lifted his head from the table he was sat at.

Alastor chuckled nervously as he nodded and swiftly wandered into the room. Snaking himself down onto the sofa sat opposite the other sofa where Charlie and vaggie sat. Angel slumped down and placed his feet on the glass coffee table in front of them, trying to act cool. He wasn't as phased at the idea of them finding out about him and alastor, but it still embarrassed him slightly, since he hadn't been in an actual relationship in a long time. The closest thing being clients that were regulars. Alastor, however, looked shaken to his core. His eyes remained wide and an eerie smile sat on his face. He grabbed a blanket that rested on the side of the sofa and hoisted it over himself, attempting to hide himself from the view of everyone else. "So..." Charlie started, "how comes you two came down at the same time~" she asked, in a knowing tone. "N- no reason, my dear, merely a coincidence, I suppose." Alastor said in a broadcast-ready voice, but slightly hoarse. "Hah, the big radio demon was cuddling with the slut." Husk laughed, before taking a sip of booze, which ended in chugging the bottle. Alastor shot him a death stare, as mysterious symbols hung around his head, causing husk to shiver and walk off.

He avoided eye contact as he noticed that Charlie and vaggie were giving him smirks, showing that they knew he was lying. He looked away, his ears slightly drooping. Charlie sighed, her face dropping as she looked at the radio demon pitifully. He was so humiliated by the subject- but she supposed this was due to the year he had died in, and as being homosexual was heavily frowned upon back then. "Look, Alastor," she began, switching to her comforting voice, "it's fine, if you date angel, it's twenty twenty! It's ok to not be straight!" She exclaimed, causing Alastor to blush red. "I- I- I am straight!" He cried in a dignified voice, causing angel to shoot him a disbelieving look as Charlie sighed.

"Al- things are different since you died," Charlie calmly told him, "people can love who they want now-" she continued, before being interrupted by angel, "WE ALL LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU ALASTOR!" Angel cried, causing Alastor to jump. Alastor had never felt so loved, but he was broken, and it would take more than a couple of sentences to fix decades of hiding, pain, and self hatred. He attempted to hide how touched he was by this, but somewhat failed as his face melted into a warm, small, and genuine smile.

Angel looked at his watch, after a while of the hotel staff hanging out together. "Aw fuck, I gotta head to work." He stated- since he was actually a guest at the hotel, and not staff. Alastor smiled sadly to him before waving him off as he went up to his room to change, and sinking into his chair with a frown. His ears sunk at the sudden lack of angel by his side. I must be going soft. He thought to himself. Charlie and vaggie noticed how sad he was at the disappearance of angel, but took note of how when angel re- entered to say goodbye, his ears pricked up and his smile grew, as he whipped his head in angels direction. His pupils dilated and his face melted into a dreamy smile as a blush spilled across it.

"Bye shnookems~" he spoke in a flirty tone, before giving the radio demon a kiss on the cheek, leaving him spellbound. His face flustered as he froze in shock, radio dials flickering into his eyes. Angel chuckled at the effect he had on the red demon. Charlie and vaggie could barely contain their laughter at Alastor, who was still motionless, with an eerily huge smile. He suddenly snapped out of it and teleported to his room.
