Destiny
You looked into Alastors eyes. Your chest rose and fell as you felt something slide up your ankle and thigh, wrapping around your thigh you felt shivers.
"Ask me one more time.",Alastor says and you notice his grin has fallen. You look at him with confusion and ask,"What do you mean?" You just now notice the way his hands are shaking against your cheeks. He leans down and inhales deeply.
"Ask me to leave you alone and get off of you. And I will. If thats what you truly want."
You feel your heart pounding and a warm liquid soaking through your turtleneck around your chest. You've never seen Alastor liked this. He looked like he was on the brink of losing his sanity. He was also so rational and calm and level-headed.
A part of you wanted him to continue. To see where it would go. Heaven knows you missed his touch and his presence. But you didn't know for sure you wanted this. Especially considering how unhinged he was. You look away and your eyes clench shut.
"Please get off of me.",you whisper out with your jaw tightening. Despite Alastors hellish struggle within himself he gets off of you and the tendrils disappear.
Alastor watches as you quickly scramble to sit up. Holding your own wrists in a comforting and easy way. For the first time ever he sees something present in your eyes that makes him snap out of this feral trance.
Fear.
His eyes return back to normal with a blink yet you don't notice. You don't even look at him.
"I-I think I should go.",Alastor stammers out in a surprising way,"I'm sorry my dear I don't know what came over me." He nearly assaulted you, you asked him multiple times to leave you be an he refused. His eyes fall to the broken pendant around your neck.
The angel blood must have kept him from losing his sanity entirely.
You grab his hand after crawling off the bed and you sigh gently. Pulling him in you wrap your arms around him. Jealousy was an ugly feeling, and one you had the displeasure of experiencing. You knew how terrible it was.
"Its okay. Just don't do it again.",you warn him in a softer tone than you'd like.
He wraps his arms around you and he sighs heavily,"You are far too sweet for this universe, (Y/N)." His heart is racing and his eyes are shut. He wants to just bask in your embrace for a few moments longer than normal.
He also needed to think of a way to make up this mishap to you despite his reservations for apologizing in any shape or form.
"Alastor."
"Yes, my dear?"
"Why did the necklace break and leak some weird substance?"

Husk took a swig from the bottle of booze while sighing heavily. He looked down to see you in different attire than what you left in. His beady eyes meet yours and he noticed they are narrowed and your brows furrowed.
He is about to casually and discreetly walk away. The first step he takes you shout at him,"No! You stay right where you are, mister." One brow lowers and one raises and Husk slowly turns to you a bit surprised at your stern tone. Nevertheless he stays where he is and you round the bar. With a sharp exhale you look up at him.
"Listen I know that I caused you hurt but I—I...",you stumble over your words. That stern demeanor faltered slightly as you looked up into his eyes and glanced down to his arm in the black sling.
Husks brows pinched together as you stumbled over your words. // You think this is your fault..? //
Husks heart aches and pounds at the sadness in your eyes, you run a hand through your white hair,"I thought we were friends or..." You trail off and Husks eyes widen slightly when you turn away from him. Inhaling deeply you look up at him with stern brows,"I'm sorry I hurt you. But I miss you Husk."
A deep frown sets into your lips and Husk glances into your eyes. He looks around and sighs heavily before reaching up and cupping your cheek,"This wasn't your fault, kid. And I don't blame you for anything. I just..."
// Alastor will tell her...but I can't stand to be away from her. //
"I was just a bit overwhelmed from some other shit. I'm sorry I said all that dumb shit...forgive me?",he asks and you lean into his touch. A happy smile spreads across your lips and you rock on your heels,"I guess I can forgive you."
Your guilt has eased up a bit and you feel a warmth in your heart. Husk drops his hand and he rubs the nape of his neck,"Can I ask you something?"
// God that phrase makes me feel sick to my stomach. //
"Yeah of course.",you respond a bit worried by the way his eyes darken slightly and his lips turn into a deeper frown than before.
Husk gazes down into your warm eyes and the slight frown on your soft lips. He can't help but worry for his relationship with you. Alastor was part of the deal and initiated it, so would he really risk himself by telling you?
"If you had the choice to have gone to the big mans house upstairs, would you take it?",he inquires with a bit of a nervous tone rather than that careless one he always seemed to have. You find the question strange for a moment and you truly ponder over it.
You think about supposed paradise you could have went to. Using a database you found out your parents went to Heaven. You could have seen them again. Truth be told sometime you laid awake and thought "what if".
"I can't give you a definite answer.",you respond honestly while feeling slight guilt,"I wouldn't want the choice. It would be far too heavy. So despite missing my loved ones I was destined to come here and reunite with you guys." You smile fondly and shrug with a heavy sigh.
Husks jaw tightens and he plasters on a fake smile,"Yeah, funny how fate works."
// You weren't destined to be here... //
Charlie bounces through the door alongside Angel Dust, she wears a wide smile and she claps her hands,"Hey guys! We might have a new potential investor!" You gasp and round the bar with an excited smile,"Really! Thats fantastic!"
Husk watches as you jump excitedly with Charlie and fawn over the aspect. Angel Dust looks up to see Husk and his eyes fall to his injured arm. With a small laugh he looks back down at you and puts on a soft smile.
Husk looks at the warm smile across your lips and your shut eyes. You hold Charlies hands and laugh happily with her.
// She doesn’t need to know. //
