(s/f/c) = Second favorite color

(Y/n)'s POV

Eventually I 'woke up' from my fake nap thanked Alastor for everything he did that day. So I went home, took a shower then fell asleep, nothing really eventful happened. I didn't kill anyone that night, I just didn't feel like it.

Timeskippy to Morning

I had done my morning routine and had changed into a(n) (f/c) dress with an apron that has a few paint stains on it, I think it would look nice for work. I went outside to check the mail, as usual, there were a few envelopes but none of them was really important. It was from Los Angeles but didn't say who it was from specifically. I went back inside and looked at the other envelopes I had, they were just bills and such. I decided that I'm going to bring the piece of mail with me to work so I can see what it is with Alastor at lunch.

Alastor had told me before I went back home last night that he won't be visiting me at my shop from now on since he didn't want to bother me but we would still meet up at the cafe for lunch. And Alastor wanted to visit other stores.

I get my bag and put the envelope from L.A in the pocket in my bag as well. I left my home and started to make my way to my little art shop. After a bit I got there and opened up my shop, I made sure everything was in place then I went over to the window and turned over the sign to 'open'. I took out the envelope from my bag and looked at it closer. I was from Los Angeles but what could they possibly want, I flipped it over then I noticed another thing. On the back, there was a sliver and a crimson red dagger wax stamp to seal the envelope.

The wax stamp seems familiar...then I recognized it!

I put the envelope back in my bag when I heard the doorbell ring, someone had entered my shop. They looked around then looked at me, I had gotten up and walked towards the person.

"Hi! Welcome to my art shop, how may I help you today?"

I asked the person with a soft smile on my face.

TImeskip to when you get to the cafe

I had gotten to the cafe where Alastor and I usually meet at but this time I was here first, so I got the letter and examined it one more time. I was about to open it when the waiter came by.

"Hello, (Y/n). What would you like today or just the usual?"

The waiter who I learned before his name was Chester, he has noticed at Alastor and I go here very often for lunch so he knows what we usually get now.

"I'll just have the usual, thank you, Chester."

He nodded and left. I flipped the envelope over and opened it, inside was a piece of paper, I took it out and unfolded it.

When I had opened the paper there was the faint smell of his cologne, he probably did so I could remember him. How could I even forget a man like him?!

I noticed he had put the date and his address in the corner of the paper. I started to read what it said in the letter, my eyes followed the words to every end, I almost couldn't believe what I had just read! I blinked a few times and reread it again, and again just to make sure I wasn't mistaken. I didn't misread anything for sure. Here's what it said:

Hello my dear friend, (Y/n),

If you do not remember me, it is I, Harvey Harris. I was shocked when you had gone missing in L.A but then your so-called brother had said that you might have run away somewhere out of the state.

Harvey had talked to Flynn?

Speaking of your brother a few months later after your disappearance he is no longer existing. And by that I mean he's dead, he got into a fight at a bar one night and the opponent had accidentally killed him. At least that's what I heard from the police.

Dang it! I wanted to kill him, oh well... But I kinda imagine him dying in a bar fight, it just seems fitting for him.

You're also probably wondering how I got your address.

Of course! I'm really curious about how Harvey did it.

Well, it took me a while but I managed. I had to do some research, then I remembered you liked places with murders! You like the joy of feeling endangered, so I looked at some records about murders in the country. There were many places with murders but the one that has the most kills are in New Orleans, Louisiana. I looked at some more records and found your name and address. I also want to let you know that when you get this letter I'll be in New Orleans in a few more days, I just need to get ready back in L.A.

I can't believe that Harvey is coming here! I'm so excited! Ek! I haven't seen him since I left.

Sincerely, your lifelong friend, Harvey Harris.

I had a big smile on my face, I folded up the paper and put it back in the envelope. I put it back in the bag and looked up at my table, my drink and food were already here but Alastor wasn't. Huh, he's usually here before me... Maybe he's just late. I took my drink and took a sip.

Right after I took a sip from my drink guess who decided to show up, Alastor.

"Where were you Alastor? You're usually here before me."

Alastor chuckled nervously.

"I was just feeling a bit under the weather, it's nothing to- *cough cough* -worry about."

Alastor's voice sounded a bit rough, I eyed Alastor up and down and noticed his nose is a bit red.

"You sure? You sound and look sick. You should go home and rest..."

"Nonsense! I'm perfectly- *sneeze* -fine... What was that letter you were reading if I may ask- *Cough* -Darling?"

I took another sip of my drink.

"It's just from an old friend, he's coming to visit soon."

"He? *cough*"

"Yup..."

I started eating my food and so did Alastor, he tried to make small talk but couldn't because he kept coughing and sneezing. But at least he covered up when he did. I kept telling him to go home and rest but he refused and wanted to stay with me. I found it adorable that he wanted to stay with me.

Once we finished eating and such he paid for the food. I told him again he should go back home and this time he agreed. I told him I would swing by after work and told him he should leave the door unlocked.

"There's a- *cough* -key under the- *cough* mat, so you can let yourself in, Darling."

I nodded and then we went our separate ways, I went to my shop while he went back home.

Timeskip to when you're done with work

I looked back at the time and realized it was almost time to close up. I decided to get started since I know no one is going to come in at this time. I started to close up my shop.

After I was done I left my shop and locked it up, I started to head to Alastor's house. When I got to his house I was about to knock on his door but then I remembered he was sick and that he had left a spare key outside. He said it was under the mat so I bent down and lifted it up the mat in front of the door. And indeed there was a key under it, I took the key and put the mat back. I used the key and put it in the keyhole, I twisted it and I heard a click. I took out the key and opened the door, it worked!

I put the key in the pocket of my apron and went inside while closing the door behind me.

"Alastor? You here?"

I heard coughing and sneezing so he is here. I was heading towards the right set of stairs when I saw Alastor come out of what I assume is his room. He was heading down the stairs to me.

"Oh, no-no-no-no-no. You get back to your room Mister!"

I picked up my speed and walked up the stairs to where Alastor is.

"You came- *cough* -my Darling..."

We started to go to Alastor's room.

"Of course I would come, why wouldn't I?"

We entered his room where there were a few tissues laying across his bed. A sigh escaped my lips while Alastor sat on the edge of his bed.

"What are you going to do about your radio show? You can't just talk with coughs and sneezes between every word."

I said as I paced around his room, I looked at Alastor. It was clear that he was thinking about it.

"Well, I don't have any substitute- *cough* -at the moment... When Mimzy was alive she would do it but she's- *sneeze* -not here... How about you do it,- *cough* -Darling?"

Me? Do Alastor's radio show? Pffft, maybe.

"I'll think about it..."

"How about we make a deal, I take you out to dinner once I'm fully healed and I'm able to go on my radio show. In return, you have to fill in for me on the radio. Deal?"

I thought about it, I also noticed that he didn't stick his hand out. Probably so he won't get me sick.

"It's a deal then!"

I said as I nodded, he nodded back. Then he started coughing again, right... There was a bit of an awkward silence, well aside from Alastor's constant coughing and sneezing.

"You can- *cough cough cough* -keep the key, Darling."

"Oh, okay... Well, you should lay down and rest."

Alastor started coughing again but managed to get some words out.

"I'll sit up- *cough cough* - but I'm not laying down. I'm not- *cough* -that sick."

I was confused now, he knows he's that sick but doesn't want to rest. Alastor got under the covers but sat up. I sighed and put my hand on my face and dragged it down. I took my hand off my face and went to Alastor.

"No Alastor, you need to rest. You need to lay down."

I said sternly as I pushed Alastor down with one hand but then he immediately got up and grabbed my hand forcefully.

Alastor's POV

"No Alastor, you need to rest. You need to lay down."

(Y/n) said harshly as she pushed me down to the bed with one hand but then I bolted up and grabbed her wrist tightly. I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Do not touch me, (Y/n)!"

I yelled at her with anger at my voice. Her eyes widened and she was shocked but then her expression became sad. I didn't notice what I had done, I just had a bad flashback of my father. She pulled her wrist away from my grasp. (Y/n) looked at her wrist and held it with her other hand. I started coughing again, curse this illness!

(Y/n) did a curtsy, I looked at her confused.

"I'm sorry, Sir... I'll be going now..."

She left the room and out of my sight, she's probably going down the stairs now. I don't want (Y/n) to leave, not like this... I'm such a fool! She was only trying to help me.

I got up from the bed and went toward the door, I got out of my room and started down the stairs. Although I could and stopped near the top because I started coughing again.

"(Y- *cough* -/n)!"

She turned around and looked at me, I was still coughing but I managed to stop for a bit.

"I'll see you tomorrow morning, Alastor..."

She said that loud enough for me to hear, (Y/n) opened the door and slammed it shut when she left. I stood there leaning on the rails on the stairs trying to stop my coughing fit. When I did I went back to my room.

(Y/n)'s POV

I left his house and slammed the door, to be honest, I was a bit angry that he just grabbed my wrist so tightly. I was just trying to help him, he didn't have to be so rude about it.

Maybe I shouldn't go and do his radio show in the morning but that free dinner though... Plus, I think I know what that funny feeling is now... love is what they call it. I've felt it before but the last time I loved someone it ended badly for me. Maybe Alastor's different than my last, Alastor is definitely nicer and politer than my last. But I don't know if he feels the same, we'll see... Maybe killing someone might clear my mind.

Timeskip skip skip to morning

I woke up early this morning and did my usual routine, I wore a different dress that is (s/f/c) along with the apron I usually wear. I decided that I'll still do Alastor's radio show, I have about an hour before he usually starts. I got the things I needed, I checked the pocket on the apron to make sure the key is still there. The key is still there! Perfect! I put the key back in the pocket. I left my house and locked the door then I started going to Alastor's house.

I got to his house and noticed the newspaper for today is on the ground, so I bent down and picked up the newspaper. I held it in between my arm and used the key he gave me to let myself in his house. I walked in and closed the door behind me. I could hear the faint sound of coughing coming from upstairs. I rolled my eyes and went to Alastor's room.

I checked to see if the door was open, it wasn't though. I knocked on the door and called for Alastor. I heard some rustling coming from the room then the door opened.

"(Y/n)! You're- *cough* - here! I'm truly sorry for I did last night,- *cough* -I didn't mean to hurt you in any way. I know- *cough* -you were trying to help me but I just- *cough* -had a bad flashback..."

He apologized to me as he held his hands in front of him. I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrow and what I got in return was puppy eyes from Alastor. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"I forgive you, just try and not do that again, please."

Alastor's eyes lit up like a child then he started coughing again. I giggled a little.

"How about you just teach me how to work out the radio show so you can rest?"

Alastor nodded as showed me the radio room, he showed me the basic things on how to turn things on and such. After he showed me we reviewed the newspaper so I can study what I'm going to say. Alastor told me some tips on when I'm going to say on the radio. Once we were done I knew what I was going to say.

"I'll be going back to my room, I will be hearing what you're saying through the radio."

I nodded and Alastor left the radio room, I looked at the time. I had a few minutes before I had to go live. I put the headphones on and set up the microphone in front of me. I review the news one more time, even if I could use it I want to try and not use it. I looked at the clock again, it was time for me to go live. I sighed and started pressing a few buttons along with switches to make sure it's ready. I flipped the switch underneath the label that says 'on air', the light turned green. I'm on air now...

"Good morning New Orleans! I know you're probably checking the radio to make sure it's Alastor's radio channel. I'm sorry to tell you but he is currently not feeling so well, so I'm his substitute for now. Now to get on to what had happened overnight with New Orlean's very own Axeman and the other yet to be named killer! Then some stories to start off the morning! So last night there were..."

Alastor's POV

(Y/n) had started going live on the radio, she's doing a really good job so far and she just started! Her voice sounds so lovely, I could listen to her sweet voice all day if I could...

Later on, she got to the gory details, she explained them in such detail like she had witnessed it. Or maybe she's just good at explaining the details.

A/n: Here's another chapter! I'm sorry if my updates have been slower than before, I'm having trouble trying to get ideas. I hope you enjoy the story so far! Stay safe!
