pairing: Y/N x Alastor

*summary: It has been three months since Y/N first sang on Alastor's radio show, and since then, nothing hasn't been the same. She is now a well-known and famous singer in Hell, but rumors are beginning to come out that Y/N and Alastor are secretly a thing. Deep down, Y/N does like Alastor, but due to her tramatic past caused by Valentino, she's afraid of love, until one day she couldn't stand it anymore and confesses. Though will Alastor return the same feelings?*

*Your POV*

It's amazing as it's almost insulting the way time flies. Though for your case, time has been on your side, and done great things.
Not only are you singing for your inspiration and idol on his radio show, but you also have your very own fanbase and are possibly getting things together to start your very own tour in Hell.

All things you always thought were out of your reach. How thankful to see that you're wrong. And what a big fuck you to Valentino for always doubting and abusing you.
Despite being under Alastor's watch and protection, the weight of the abuse and the memories of Valentino's sneering face still haunt you when you least expect it...which you hate.

Because while this past you're running from is following you, you can't help but admit you're finding yourself running towards Alastor's direction. For safety...for...love.
You found yourself falling in love with Alastor a month after joining the hotel, but it wasn't such a big surprise to you. You always loved and admired him--but that love wasn't the love you feel for him now.

And from Valentino's scars still on your mental conscious and heart, you're scared to open up again, in fear that Alastor will only hurt you...as he's hurt others before.
Which surprisingly, he hasn't done as of yet. But still...your fanbase isn't making it any easier on you.

As the months went on leading up to the present moment, rumors are spreading that you are secretly in a relationship with Alastor--which is an absolute lie. But the fans are correct when it comes to one rumor.
You are in love with him...as much as you want to deny it--out of fear, out of your image...you don't know how much more you can take before exploding.

Hence why after Alastor bid everyone goodnight and pressed the mute button up in his radio broadcasting tower, you step out of the booth and approach him. "Al-Alastor?"
"Hm?" he looks over his shoulder at you while being halfway bent over, his hands holding a stack of papers he's picked up from the desk in front of him.

"Ah, Y/N dear, wonderful job as always my little star!"

You blush. "Thank you..." you reply, chewing on your bottom lip in a nervous manner while your fingers pinch your arms. Goodness how will you word this without sounding dumb? And how will he even react to such a thing? From what you've heard...he's an Ace In The Hole, but...maybe he could still like you? You can't really say for sure.

The only way to find out is to speak your truth and shut your eyes to make it easier on you.
With a quick inhale of a breath, you speak. "I love you," you blurt out, "I-I know this is sudden and you probably don't love me back and--" you stop, eyes widening as you throw a hand over your mouth.

You just said the word...love. A word you weren't supposed to say, yet a word that somehow managed to slip past your tongue.
Fuck.

By now, Alastor's eyes are completely widened, the papers in his hands dropping to the floor, making a shuffling sound as they slide across the flooring before becoming motionless between the two of you.

Your head shakes out of embarrassment, cheeks turning a bright red. "Oh my god, oh shit...I-I'm sorry, I really, really didn't mean to say that."

"Y/N--"

You turn away. "Just forget what I said, please. I shouldn't have ever said that."

"Y/N, wait a moment--"

You don't hear him, for by the time he speaks, you speedwalk out of the door and shut it behind you, before running down the steps two at a time, your heart pounding out of embarrassment and your cheeks aflame.

Meanwhile...Alastor simply stands alone in his tower, completely stunned to silence from your words and...feeling somewhat pleased to hear you speak your truth.
Of course, he's had many who's claimed that they love him, though your claim sounded much more...real, genuine.

And he can't deny that he too, feels something for you. He's felt it since the moment he met you three months ago, though to keep his reputation in check--and foreign to such emotions--he's kept his lips zipped shut.

But right now...

He grabs his coat, quickly slipping it on as he walks out of his tower. It's time to step out of his usual day to day comfort zone and confront this newfound feeling building inside for him.
Time to reach out and touch, instead of reaching out to kill.
And what better way to experience such new things then with someone who he considers his friend/crush?

Alastor scours the hotel rooms and lobby for quite some time, before his eyes catch sight of you leaning against a balcony, staring up at Hell's night filled sky, while mumbling words to yourself that sound like stupid, idiot, what were you thinking?

Alastor's smile softens, before he places his hand on the doorway wall beside him. How to properly approach this...and how to not fail...those are the questions in his head.
As of right now, you haven't noticed him yet, giving him just enough time to think of a plan.

Bringing two fingers to his chin, he thinks for a moment, his eyes catching sight of the dazzling stars above him...and taking note just how lovely you look in Hell's moonlight.
His cheeks grow warm, as his posture straightens a bit more, and he sings softly.

🎶"My dearest friend, if you don't mind..."🎶 he takes a step closer, 🎶"I'd like to join you by your side. Where we can gaze into the stars..."🎶

He comes to your side, turning towards you while his hand gently caresses yours. Your eyes are widened while your lips are parted, as you stare up at him in shock. Shocked at the fact he found you...and shocked because he's not...judging you or your feelings. He's...accepting them.

You gulp, and Alastor allows a little chuckle to escape his lips as he continues to sing.

🎶"And sit together...now and forever..."🎶 he raises your hand to his face, 🎶"for it is plain, as anyone can see..."🎶

He then gently cups your face, brushing his thumbs against your cheekbones, his singing dropping to a soft spoken whisper.
🎶"We're simply meant to be..."🎶

Your breath hitches, waves of relief and shock hitting you in the chest without mercy. "Wha...what?"

Alastor chuckles. "Darling, allow me to assure you that your feelings are not one-sided, for I too, return the exact same feelings," his smile widens, "I confess, you've captured my interest since the moment I laid eyes on you. And...hearing your angelic voice only sealed the deal for me."

"Now, I'm afraid that an afterlife without you would be Hell--to my eyes," he snickers, "and so, since you are on the same level with me, is it appropriate for me to ask if you would be mine? Not simply as a business partner or even a friend but...maybe on a more...romantic level? Of course, you can deny this, and we can continue as friends. Although--"

He stops talking, eyes widening as his right cheek feels the sudden gentle caress of your lips. A kiss...on his cheek. His first kiss on the cheek from a woman that wasn't his mother.
His cheek feels warm, as he raises a hesitant hand to graze where he felt your lips, and you can heart the growing of static.

Not in an angry way...but in a bashful, blushing way.
You smile softly. "I'd love to be with you, Alastor," you respond, shyly, like a girl confronting her crush.

Alastor's eyes flicker with the look of joy, as he feels excitement flood his chest at the sudden realization that you are accepting him.
With eagerness, he picks you up and spins you happily, which causes laughter to escape your lips.

"Wonderful! Darling, you've just made me the happiest demon in all of Hell!" he sets you down, clasping your hand within his, before tugging you to follow him. "Let us go and celebrate! I know just the place for the one who captured my heart."

You giggle, following Alastor with a pep in your step, the realization that you're actually happy and...in love with someone who in return is happy with you, and loves you back.
Strange, isn't it? It seems only a few days ago you were secretly hiding in the basement of Valentino's house listening to Alastor's radio show with awe and admiration.

Only to be here now...Alastor's hand within yours, as you are now his offical partner, his lover.
What a twist of fate...one you definitely won't let slip away from you, and one you won't give up without a fight.

Alastor is yours, and you are his.
Now, until the last day of Hell.
