A/N: Hello everyone! I hope you'll enjoy this first one-shot, especially sushifrio249 who requested it! I had to add a few time skips cause of the fact that this was only a one-shot and not a story, so I'm sorry about that. Also, I hope you don't mind this but I changed the part about 'rejecting someone in a very cruel way' because I thought I wouldn't really suit Alastor, he's a gentleman after all. Instead I made it affect the reader more. I really hope you're satisfied with the amount of details I added. I'm not a native speaker you have to know, so I don't know every idiom and my vocab is surely not as big as that of a native speaker. But I really tried my best :)
If anyone has a request you can write a comment under this one-shot or under the first part 'Rules'. It doesn't really matter ^^
Stay safe and healthy y'all!

"...and that's why I invited him to my radio show... y/n? Hello? Are you listening to me, dear?" You leaned back until your back touched the wood of the bench while looking dreamingly at the man in front of you. You couldn't believe it. How were you able to get a best friend like him? It was like you were in a trance, the only thing that was in focus was Alastor and nothing else. You completely blended out that you two were sitting on a bench and talking about his radio show which would take place in only a few hours. The features of his attractive face, the thought he put into all of his outfits he put together before leaving the house. The way he spoke in such a well-mannered way and the respect he showed you like a true gentleman. Everything about him was just perfect. In his presence you felt welcomed and embraced. He really made you fell like a real lady.
The radio host side glanced at you, his eyebrows raised high because you didn't pay attention at all to what he was saying. "Hm? Oh my bad. What did you say? I...I was just thinking about something..." Indeed, you were thinking about telling Alastor how you felt. Telling him that you'd love him dearly and that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with him. Unfortunately life isn't always as easy as it is in some book or movie. No, life was complicated and difficult. You were not allowed to just fall in love with the one you loved. There is always a twist to everything in life and in this particular friendship right here, the twist was a woman named Mimzy.
The one woman in Alastor's life you had to compete with. Mimzy just came into Alastor's life a few months ago when she moved to your city and decided to stay here. She worked in a bar as a singer and was quite popular. And to be honest, you were slightly jealous of her. Everyone loved her and her talented voice including the man of your dreams next to you. At first you couldn't believe him when he told you that he may had feelings for Mimzy and for a millisecond you were shocked to say the least. After this little like stab in your heart, you realized that you loved Alastor. You two were best friends for several years now and never has it crossed your mind that you might actually love him but after his confession about his feelings for Mimzy, you realized that you -indeed- felt more for him that just pure friendship.
From time to time you gave him more than one hint indicating that you'd love him but everytime he just didn't seem to get it. Either he didn't understand what you tried to imply or when it seemed that he'd got it he would just friendzone you to the max. This charade has been going on for the past few months and today was the day you would tell him what you felt. No more hints and no more shyly denying anything.
"I just told you the reason for today's guest on my radio show? You know Vox? He owns the television company, you remember?" You thought about that information for a moment. Did you really forget that? Normally you absorbed every information Alastor told you like a sponge but this certain one didn't ring a single bell. "Uhm.. I think I do not. I'm sorry Alastor... it's just... there's something on my mind lately..." You avoided his gaze, looking at your hands in your lap. The man next to you gave you a soft smile and laid one single hand on your shoulder. "What is it, dear. We're best friends, so no matter what I'll support you."
