Your pov
You stood on the small stool as Nifty got measurements for your new suit. Alastor was in the back of the room humming a tune to himself and rummaging through some fabrics.
"Nifty?" You ask, watching the small girl dart around you.
"Yeh?" She chirps in her sweet little voice.
"Are you, or were you ever, scared of Alastor?" You look down, ashamed of the question.
"No, he's always been so nice to me!" She replies. "Why do you ask?" Visions of the hatred and bloodlust in his eyes flash through your mind. His sadistic laughter tears at your brain.
"No reason, just curious if he's as bad as people say he is." You lie.
"(y/n), Alastor would never hurt you!" Nifty hugs your leg and giggles as Alastor comes over and lifts her by the back of her dress.
"I heard my name?" Alastor flashes a charming smile at you.
"Just talking about how good you are at sewing." You look down. You hated lying to him but what you had seen earlier today had put you on edge.
"Is something the matter my dear fawn?" Alastor comes over, resting one hand on your shoulder.
"No, no nothings wrong." Alastor hums and rubs his chin, suddenly pointing to the high dark ceiling.
"I know what will cheer you up!" Alastor grabs your wrist gently and pulls you over to one of his wardrobes. He opens it and starts rummaging. "Here, try this on!" He hands you what appears to be a black sparkly dress.
"Uhm, okay. Any particular reason?" You take the dress and look at him.
"Try it on first." He pushes you towards the small changing room, and you giggle.
"Okay, okay!" You step in and pull on the tight short dress. It had a thin string that went around your neck and tied in the back to replace the sleeves. It hit you just above the knee and clung to you tightly but you could still move around comfortably. It shimmered in the light when you moved and some of the glitter had gotten on your hands, leaving them like the dress. You step out of the room and get greeted by a round of applause. Nifty was bouncing up and down clapping her hands together. Alastor stood with both of his arms behind his back with his coat draped over one arm. His smile widens as the light bounces off of the dress. "Well?" Alastor takes a step closer and kisses the back of your hand.
"Your spectacular." You turn redder than a tomato and mutter a thank you.
"Now, care to explain why you had me try this on?"
"I was wondering if you would like to go to my friends pub with me tonight! Get your mind off of whatever is bothering you!" Alastor smiles, and you could swear there was the slightest dusting of pink on his cheeks.
"I would love to." You reply. Your answer is greeted with a few 'wonderfuls' and things of the sort. Alastor slips his coat on, ruffles Niftys hair, and holds his arm out to you. You hesitate just for a second before taking his arm and heading out into the warm hell night.
Time skip cause writer's block sucks
Walking to the bar you could already hear an almost angelic voice echoing down the street. Finally you stop in front of what sounded like was the source of the sound. Alastor opens the door for you like the gentle man he was and you walk in. Alastor slides in behind you and waves to a plump flapper looking girl getting off of the stage.
"Ah Mimzy darling!" Alastor calls out and she spots him scurrying over. She had short blonde bobbed hair, black sclera with pink irises, rosy cheeks and a large feather sticking out of a head band she was wearing.
"Alastor darlin'!" She gives him a quick hug that he recoils from and then moves her attention to you. "And what a beautiful doll you got her witcha!" She gives you a warm embrace, and stands back again. "Can you sing sugar?" She asks you.
"Oh Mimzy we were only coming to watch your show and enjoy a few drinks!" Alastor laughs and pulls you out of the reach of the short flapper.
"Oh but the crowd would just eat her up Al!" Hearing her call Alastor 'Al' made your stomach turn with jealousy, but you didn't quite know why.
"I cant sing anyway." You tell her, putting your hand behind your head and feeling your cheeks dust pink.
"Doll, with a talkin' voice like that one, you could make the exterminators cry." Mimzy reaches out and grabs your hand, pulling you to the stage. You look back, desperately grasping for Alastor, but he shrugs and gives you an apologetic smile. She pulls the curtain shut and puts you in front of the microphone. "Just sing sweety."
"Why do you want me to sing?" You ask, shying away from the microphone.
"To give my voice a break! Been looking for someone all night." She gives you a gentle pat on the back and walks off stage as the curtains open.
Alastors pov
I had no doubt in my mind that (y/n) would be a good singer, but when she opened her mouth I could have sworn my heart did a backflip. She was singing a more modern song that was still jazzy called 'wonder wall', and she was killing it.
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna give it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
Her face was a beautiful apple red, and she was obviously trying to keep her voice from shaking. She opens her eyes and locks them with mine, glad to have a friendly face in the crowd.
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
She blushes even more at those lines, and my face joins in. She flashes me a smile and goes back to focusing on the song. She lets go of the microphone, I stand up giving her applause, and so does the rest of the crowd. She comes down to me, holding one arm and looking down at the floor.
"I told you, I can't sing." She laughs and looks up at me with a bright but weak smile.
"Darling, heavens choir can't sing like that." Her face goes a shade redder, and she punches me playfully in the arm.
"And here I was thinking you were honest." She giggles and I glare at her mischievously.
"I am nothing if not a man of my word." I grab her hand and place a quick peck on it earning a giggle from her and another jittery feeling.
"Okay, if you say so." At that moment Mimzy struts over and hugs (y/n).
"Doll, that was fabulous!" We all take a seat at a small booth and order drinks.
"I would like a whisky, and the angel here would like an apple martini." I tell the waiter. Mimzy tells him to make that two martinis and he paces off to get the drinks.
"Al, I don't drink." (y/n) states blankly.
"You will after you try this!" He comes back with our drinks and I down the shot quickly, enjoying the burning feeling. (y/n) takes her's and sips it gently, face lighting up with delight.
"Wow, okay this is actually good!" She chirps taking another sip.
"Told you!" I laugh and signal the waiter over asking for another shot. He returns and I down it.
"I didn't take you for a drinker Al." (y/n) laughs and takes a large swig from her drink.
"On the odd occasion." I watch her delicately sip from the drink, smile wide and seemingly enjoying herself. "After you finish that, we ought to get going. Don't want to be on the streets when its dark!" I laugh loudly.
"Okay!" (y/n) chirps enthusiastically. She then proceeds to chug the rest of her drink, and tipsilly get up.
Your pov
Your vision was blurry and your head was spinning. You stood up from the booth you three were sitting at and wait for Alastor to get up.
"It was great meeting you Mimzy!" Alastor slips on his coat and stands next to you, offering out his arm. You take it, and Alastor leaves a few dollar bills on the table. You wrap your other arm around his, and pull Alastor close. "Your such a gentleman Al~" He laughs uncomfortably and you frown.
"Marners are very important dear!" He turns, gently pulling you along and you two head out the door, him waving to Mimzy as you go. You nuzzle your head into Alastors arm, closing your eyes and stumbling down the now deserted road.
"Sooo warm!" You can feel Alastors rapid heart beat, and giggle lightly at how flustered he was getting. You look up and him can could swear that you saw pink dusting his cheeks. "Hehe! Your all red~" You nuzzle your head farther into his arm, taking in the warm cinnamon like sent coming off of him.
"Non-sense my dear!" Alastor chokes out. Suddenly the world feels like it's spinning, and everything goes black. When the world comes back into view your standing in front of his house.
"Whoa! How did you do that?" You ask, impressed.
"Simple teleportation dear." Alastor opens the door, and you trip heading in. About to faceplant you feel two strong thin arms wrap themselves around your stomach and waist, catching you. "Careful!" He turns you to face him, and you pull him close, letting your eyes shut.
Alastors pov
I felt as she went slightly limp in my arms, and her breathing slow down. Her delicate hands were clutching my coat and her face pressed into my chest.
"I'm never letting you drink again." I sigh, and gently scoop her up holding her bridal style. Heading upstairs I go to her room and place her gently on the bed calling Nifty quietly as to not wake (y/n) up. "Could you please put her in her pajamas?" I ask, turning to take off my coat. By the time I turn back around she was already changed. "Thank you." Nifty hugs my leg, and goes off to her room. I sit down on the edge of the bed, and tuck (y/n) in. I brush her hair out of her face, and go to get up when I feel a small hand grasp onto my shirt sleeve.
"P-please don't go." She chokes out. She had tears pooling in her eyes and she was sniffling quietly. "Please, I don't want the nightmares to come back." I had no clue what she was talking about, but she seemed scared. I sigh, and slip off my shoes. Pulling the blankets up (y/n) scoots over and I slide in next to her. She rolls over and I gently place one arm over her, pulling her into a warm hug.
"Good night fawn"
