Just One Drink
Angel Dust lays in bed with a sharp exhale as he thought of todays strange events.
He saw being partnered with Alastor as an opportunity to see just how far his patience could be pushed. Yet after they had visited Cherris apartment the radio demon disappeared. Quite literally into thin air.
Angel Dust was a bit pissed off that he had left him without so much as an offer for a drop off back at the hotel. The spider was even more pissed considering he had to explain to Charlie what happened. Yet he was pleased to notice she didn't care considering they had already gotten one confirmed guest.
Angel Dust smiled at the thought of Charlie. She was a sweetheart, a bit of a ditz but then again Angel was not the brightest bulb in the box.
//What the fuck is up with him?// Angel thought while turning over onto his stomach with a soft sigh.
Alastor was acting strange. Stranger than his usual corny and terrifying self. Angel was convinced he noticed Alastor grow...more strange with him.
Alastor usually held obvious disdain and uneasiness in his red eyes whenever he was around Angel. But Angel began to notice that look in his eyes grew more fogged and complicated.
His restless body flipped onto his back yet again and he slowly exhaled, his hand felt along the spot where Alastors fingers had burned into his skin.
//Did he feel it too?// Angel wonders in reference to that spark, that strange feeling.
Sure Angel had a sexual attraction towards Alastor but he began to worry it was manifesting into something more. Something deeper.
Angel groaned softly and let his feet swing off of his bed. A soft 'oink' resonated through the room and the spider looked to see the small glowy pig trotting towards him.
"Heh..did I wake ya?",Angel speaks in a gentle tone before scooping up the small creature. He plants a soft kiss against his pink forehead before placing him down.
“I need a drink...”,he mumbles aloud and leaves the room in silence. The small creature waddled to the door and sat awaiting his friend.
Angel Dust walked to the elevator while attempting to rub the drowsiness from his mismatched eyes. Upon reaching the elevator he jumped back when another hand reached out to press it open.
“Smiles?”,Angel inquired.
Alastor looked to Angel with surprise, his eyes fell down to the spiders comfortable attire yet again.
This time he sported an off the shoulder sweater and pink sweatpants. Alastor felt his heart thumping quicker in his chest.
//What the blazes?! How does he look better than when he tries!//
“A-Angel, what are you doing up? Its nearly midnight.”,Alastor inquired his hands folding behind his back. Angels brows furrowed and he frowned at the demon with a shake of his head,”You ain’t the one who needs to ask questions right now. What the hell happened earlier? You totally left me hangin’!”
Alastor felt a bit bad about that situation. Yet his face grew hotter and heart raced quicker in the presence of Angel. Both now and then.
He couldn’t very well tell him he disappeared because he was flustered.
“I apologize, that was rather impolite of me. I had business to attend to of urgency and had no time to give warning.”,Alastor expertly lied straight through his dagger yellow teeth, his grin still wide yet his voice was quieter.
Angels eyes narrowed and he pressed the button,”That’s not good enough for what you pulled.” A grin spread across Angels face and Alastor stepped back slightly with reluctance.
“Oh really? And what would be good enough?”,Alastor inquires with a bit of curiosity prodding at him.
The elevator lets out a small ding and Angel gently nudges Alastor,”You gotta have one drink with me, and all will be forgiven.” Alastor wiped where Angel had nudged him with a light scoff and lowering of his brow.
“That is not happening, Angel.”,they both stepped into the elevator and Alastor kept his distance, praying that the heat on his face showed no color.
Angel Dust let out a dramatic sigh while running a hand through his messy hair,”C’mon Al! I don’t like drinking alone, plus what you did was fucked up! You left me across the damn pentagram.” Angel ranted with a he huffed and leaned back against the elevator with a soft pout.
Alastor glanced to Angel. His lips were turned down into a soft pout and his gaze fell to the ground, to his pink fuzzy slippers to be exact. Thats when Alastor noticed Angels glossy eyes and the tired bags beneath his eyes.
“One drink.”
Angel Dust immediately bounced with excitement and happiness, he let his arms wrap around the stiff demon,”Awh I knew you’d cave!”
Alastor roughly shoved him off, his face firing up even more,”Gah! Get off of me before I burn you alive!”
«many drinks later»
“Okay! So why did—hiccup—why did the woman throw her butter out of the window?”,Alastor inquired with a ditzy grin, his elbow nudging Angels side.
Two wine glasses and an empty bottle of wine rested on the bar in front of both men. Angel Dust laughed lightly while raising a brow,”I don’t know you tell me!”
Alastor inhaled deeply and leaned in close to Angel as if he was readying to tell him a secret.
“Because she wanted to see a butterfly! HA!”
Both men stifled their loud laughs to refrain from waking Charlie and Vaggie who would not even be able to hear due to their room at the top floor. Alastors arm rested against Angels shoulder, one of Angels hands rested against Alastors chest.
Once the ridiculously long laughing fit subsided both realized just how close they were to one another. Quickly they pulled away giving each other some distance.
“Heh...”,Angel breathed out while rubbing the nape of his neck. His mismatched eyes stared into Alastors. He felt that strange sensation yet again within him.
This fluttery feeling only grew stronger the longer he stared at Alastors flushed and hazy face. Little did he know the same was happening within the feared overlord.
Alastor felt ditzy and a bit hazy. He bit his lip gently before averting his gaze from Angel. For some reason that made a pain hit Angels heart, he too turned away. His gaze falling to the empty wine glass.
“You know, Angel...you aren’t as bad as I thought you were.”
Angel froze as his finger was running around the rim of the glass. He looked to Alastor with a playful grin,”Is that so smiles?”
Alastor cleared his throat with a soft chuckle,”Don’t look too far into it, I just...there is so much more to you than I was led to believe. You aren’t who I thought you were.”
The spider demons grin fell quickly and he snorted with an eye roll. Although Alastor meant well in his first statement the second didn’t sit right with him.
“You musta thought I was just some junkie prostitute who didn’t know their left from right huh? I don’t blame you, that is what I am known for afterall...heh...maybe that is what I am.”
Alastor turned to him with widening eyes he watched as Angel Dust stood up with a slight stumble,”Thanks for making up for ditchin’ me...you know I don’t wanna be a burden anymore I’ll just tell Charlie to let you find guests on ya own.”
Angel Dust didn’t know why he was acting how he was. Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was the pent up emotions from work and Val. All he knew was he couldn’t handle another second of judgement, he might just vomit if he saw that judgmental look Alastor always held in his eyes for him.
Especially since he felt his feelings begin to grow and manifest.
“I’ll see you around, Alastor.”
Just as Angel took a step forward he felt a hand wrap around his wrist. He froze and his eyes widened.
Alastor only managed out one word, his voice low,”No.”
Turning to Alastor he only felt the grip tighten. He chuckled nervously as his face grew hotter. Alastors gaze was trained on the ground and static began to ring around him,”A-Al what are you—“
Then he felt Alastors lips against his.
