Y/N POV

I don't think I've ever seen Alastor so happy these past few days. After our date, I think it's beyond safe to say that he's the happiest demon in all of hell. I think recently, he's even surpassed Charlie. He's had the same smile since I told him I was willing to try giving us a chance.

I was currently in Angel's room explaining everything in detail for the fifth time in a row while he was getting ready. He still couldn't believe what happened, but he was beyond happy that I finally understood what he was talking about all that time ago. "Alright, how do I look pretty kitty?"

"Like the baddest bitch in all of hell!" We both shared a laugh, "who's the lucky guy you're going out with huh? You've given me nothing to go off of!"

A blush and panicked expression swept across his face and he shook his second set of hands. "Nope! Can't tell ya toots! We both agreed we didn't wanna tell nobody nothin' till we were sure it's what we both want!"

"Awhh no fun!" I lightly punched his shoulder, "you'll tell me how it goes though, right?"

"Duh!," he scooted me out of his room and closed the door behind us, "You're still my best friend toots!" We continued to talk as we made our way down to the lobby, I parted ways with Angel giving him a quick good luck with a wink as he walked out of the front door. I put my hands on my hips with a smile and looked around. Charlie and Vaggie were having a date night, Niffty was out with Mimzy having a drink, dad said he was going out gambling, and Alastor was... I wasn't sure where.

I wandered off to the kitchen to make myself something for dinner, feeling slightly awkward about being in the hotel by myself. I was humming to myself to fill the silence as I inched closer to the kitchen. Only to stop as I heard someone else humming, I put my ear to the door and heard what sounded like music being played through the radio. I pushed the door open in curiosity to find Alastor cooking.

He must not have heard me enter over the sound of his humming, but it gave me time to look at him. His jacket was hanging where the apron usually would have been, with the apron around him instead. The sleeves of his red shirt were rolled up so he wouldn't dirty them, showing off his slightly muscular scarred arms. Something small and red flicked, catching my immediate attention. I looked down and there it was. The best thing I had ever seen. A small, puffy red and black deer tail was wagging about.

It took everything in me not to laugh or squeal. I walked forward, as quietly as possible, reaching my hand out. The tip of my claws made contact with the cotton soft tail, in response a small breathy grunt was heard from the stag. I immediately removed my hand and blushed furiously, looking up my e/c eyes met with Alastor's glowing red ones. The blush across his face almost matched his hair. "Uh- I-I uh-.." I was fumbling like an idiot. "S-sorry."

I looked at a thing but him. What the hell was I thinking? Why did I do that? "While I d-definitely was not expecting it... I can't say that it d-didn't feel nice." His voice was barely above a whisper, causing me to look up at him again. His back was once again turned to me, his tail swooshing side to side furiously and his ears were flat against his head. "I thought it uh.. i-it might be nice to," he gulped hard enough for my ears to pick it up, "to have dinner together. W-while everyone is gone." He set the spoon down on the counter and brushed his hands on the apron. "It's ready to eat. Could you please go set the table my dear? I need a moment to myself."

Before I could respond, Alastor sunk into the shadows and vanished. 'I hope I didn't upset him by touching his tail. He always has it hidden, maybe he's self conscious about it..' I turned around and grabbed a couple of plates from the cabinet and plates the food Alastor had made then walked out to the dining room. I set the plates across from each other and sat. Deciding to wait for him to return so we could eat together.

Alastor POV

I very quickly sunk into the shadows and appeared in my room, locking the door. This was bad, very bad. I always kept my tail hidden behind my coat so no one knew about it, therefore no one could touch it. It was extremely sensitive, which I quickly discovered when I had first come to hell. My tail hadn't been touched in close to a century, but like the curious cat she was, she had to touch it.

I looked down at myself with a heavy sigh. I could still feel the heat across my face, but it now made its way through my body. The very visible tent in my slacks was embarrassing to say the least. I didn't want to keep my darling waiting for long. I tried to think of anything other than her and the warmth in my body. But just like always, she flooded my brain, drowning any other thoughts that attempted to come through. I didn't want to pressure her into thinking she had to help me with this, nor did I want to ask for her help. We had only just started dating, this would only be our second date.

My only two options were to fix the issue myself, or take a cold shower. Coming to the conclusion that the shower would take too long, I undid my belt and slid my slacks and underwear down just enough to have access to my cock. I allowed myself to sink into my thoughts of my dearest.
