Sugar Coated Strawberries

Moss and Lightning Bugs (6)

(Alastor's POV)

I walked into Charlie's small comfy office, and sat in one of her chairs she sat in the one opposite to mine. She gave me a sweet little smile, it wasn't as good as Angel's smiles...

"So why did you need a meeting with me Al? Was it something with the hotel?" She asked me.

"No, No, My Dear! I have personal matters to discuss with you, I thought you would be the best person to come to, considering your relationship status with Vaggie." I said that and I seem to have caught her interest.

"Oh really? Please elaborate!" She said in her usual overly-cheery voice.

"Well I seem to be having an interesting reaction to Angel, I never want to leave his side, I want to stay next to his lovely smile, and smell of candy, I want his beautiful laughter to fill my ears every moment of the day, I want him to be in my arms, I want him to look as peaceful in my embrace as when he sleeps..." I explained to her, melting at the thought of Angel peacefully sleeping in my arms. She looked at me and snickered.

"What's wrong with me?" I put my face in my hands, my smile never wavering.

"Al, Nothing is wrong with you...You just have a massive crush on Angel!" She said.

"A massive..what?" I asked not fully understanding. She looked at me for a moment.

"Let me put this in a language you might understand...You're dizzy with a dame. And that dame is Angel!" She said. I nodded.

"So what do I do about it?" I asked.

"I'd tell him how you feel, and from what iv'e seen he likes you just as much!" 

"I'll talk to My Dearest Angel about it later!" I said. She giggled and nodded.

"Bye Al!" She said as I was leaving. I went to do my daily duties.

(Still Alastor's POV) 

It was around 5:45 PM when I went to Angel's room, not being able to wait any longer. I knocked on his door, I heard some shuffling then the door opened to show Angel in a big T-shirt with a rainbow on it, and I assumed he was wearing shorts under the long shirt, he looked lovely!

"Are you ready to go, My Dearest?" He nodded smiling his shining smile at me. I walked with him downstairs and out the front doors of the hotel.

"Close your eyes, Sweetheart!" I told him, he closed his eyes. I picked him up bridal style, earning a yelp from him.

"Al! Warn me next time!" He said quickly, but I didn't think much about it I was too focused on how having him in my arms made me so happy. I started sprinting to the edge of the woods, it was the only forest in hell that still had trees that were alive, though I don't know why they were alive... I ignored Angel's yelling for me to slow down and put him down. I set him down at the edge of the forest.

"Open your eyes, Dear!" He opened his eyes and looked in shock at the swaying leaves on the trees. He smiled at me, that made me very happy!

"Come along, Darling! Our destination is deeper in the woods!" He nodded, and grabbed my hand.

"Lead the way!" He chirped. We started chatting about nothing while walking through the forest. The forest was pretty, the red light from hell's sky beaming down through the leaves the sounds of screams and cars honking got distant. It was peaceful...Angel is quite the looker in this lighting! We keep walking I can see that it is getting to be night time in hell, Perfect! I felt him grip my hand a bit tighter...

"Do you not like the dark, My Dear?" I ask him curiously.

"Well...I'm fine with it...It's just this forest is just a bit creepy now that it's night!" He said.

"My Dearest, I promise you that I am the most dangerous thing in this forest right now!" He laughed a bit.

"Ok Al! I trust you!" He gave me a beautiful genuine smile, I would kill for him! After a few more minutes of walking, I stopped and he gave me a confused look.

"Why'd ya stop?"

"I want you to close your eyes, My Dear!" He closed his eyes, and followed me while I led him to a small clearing in the woods where I had set up a lovely picnic, little fireflies were fluttering about.

"Alright! you can open them now!" I said in a happy tone, Oh how I loved his amazed expression when he looked about the field. 

"It's so pretty!" He looked back at me with a wide smile that my heart melted at!

"Would you like to go and eat?" I said gesturing to the setup I had prepared earlier. He nodded quickly. We went and sat, then we ate while talking about whatever was on our minds at that moment. I looked at him happily.

"Je t'aime mon cher Angel!" I said, he gave me a confused look, as I handed him a small envelope. 

"You can open it when you get to your room~!" I said in a cheery voice. He nodded looking at the envelope.

"I suppose we should be heading back now shouldn't we?" He nodded to my question, I held out my hand to him he took it and in the blink of an eye we were at the hotel. I walked him back up to his room.

"Goodnight, My dear~!" I said happily, knowing he would read that little translation and come for an explanation soon enough... He went into his room and I was gone in a flash, I was in my room for only a minute when I heard a frantic knocking on my door...
