Charlie's big hugs
Alastors pov
I dusted myself off as I exited the taxi, bidding the driver a farewell. I looked up at the mansion that towered over me.
"You're in love with him"
I clutched my chest as pink blush dusted my cheeks. Love? Preposterous! Alastor doesn't fall in love. Never have never will! This job only benefits me. Everything I've done has been for my own benefit. Yes, I was just overthinking it. I'm going to go inside and everything will be normal again.
I took that fermillier stroll down the pathway where rose bushes and apple trees arched over me. I reached out and picked the reddest apple of the bunch. I admired the ruby red for a moment before sinking my teeth. Just as sweet as I remember.
I threw the core to the side and went up to the door. I used to knock and wait for someone to answer but as this point I felt comfortable just walking in myself.
I was greeted with the sight of Charlie playing with her pet cat keekee. When she spotted me she let out a gasp, jumped to her feet and engulfed me in a hug.
"Mr alastor you're back. I missed you so so much" she nuzzled into me.
"I missed you too dear" I bent down and patted her head.
"Well look who's risen from the dead" Lucifer leaned against the doorway with a smile "welcome home alastor. It hasn't been the same without you"
I looked at their smiling faces with a sigh. Maybe Rosie had a point...
