Alastor had lived a very lonely life after his mother died, he lived in a sort of self-isolation, distancing himself from even the few friends he had. In death this didn't change. He made a name for himself quickly as one of the most powerful mortal souls, yet this isolated him more as everyone feared him, so no one wished to be around him. Well, there was someone he could turn to. During his destruction, he had the honor of meeting the king of Hell himself Lucifer. The two talk and had gained a mutual respect for one another, Alastor would even dare say they were friends.

   After many decades, Lucifer had invited the red deer to his palace-this is when he first met young Charlie. He had also met the queen Lilith, however, Alastor quickly caught on that the royals relationship seemed to have extinguished long ago. Though a rather selfish thought, Alastor was quite glad to see this, as he had his own feelings towards the king. Not once did Alastor ever think to mention his feelings however, for this could hold major consequences he was not willing to face. The visit was brief, business as usual, but it ended on a rather positive note if you were to ask the red clad demon, as he was given permission to visit as he pleased. Thus he did, visiting rather frequently simply to spend time with his dear friend, and would play with young Charlie on occasions. Lucifer and him only grew closer overtime, the King even confessing he shared the deers feelings, and the two became a couple. However, there was an agreement between the two, they were never to reveal their relationship to anyone, under any circumstance. They shook on it, the deal was set, and from that moment forward their relationship would remain a secret.

Alastor's eyes slowly open, his memories of the past swirling his tired mind as he sighs, having slept another lonely night in his large bed fit for two. Yet there was no one else, just him, as there always was, no one ever occupied that empty space at night, and it kills Alastor inside. He wanted desperately to be with Lucifer right now, but due to their relationship being a secret, he couldn't. He lazily runs his claw through the mess of his hair, sighing softly as he picks up a brush and slowly starts to brush his hair. He hadn't had as much energy as he usually does lately, he supposed the depression was hitting him a bit harder now. He sighs entering his bathroom, not bothering to look at his reflection as he popped an anti-depressant in his mouth, swallowing it drying as he returned to his room to get dressed. Alastor entered the kitchen and started cooking as usual, but his smile was small, ears downturn, dark circles clear under his dull eyes, and his skin looked extra pale. "Good morning Ala...Alastor?" Charlie starts to greet enthusiastically, but trails off as she takes in the deer demons appearance, he looked like...well, death. "Good morning dear Charlie, I'm preparing some delicious pancakes and eggs for breakfast" Alastor greets, putting up his usual chipper facade, but it lacks his normal energy. "Sounds great Alastor" Charlie answers with a sheepish smile, something was obviously wrong, but it was Alastor she was talking about, she was sure he was fine. Alastor was not fine.

   Alastor went about his day as usual, but everyone noticed the difference in his behavior, but most didn't care enough or were too intimidated to ask. So it repeated, Alastor putting on his best facade as he helped out with the hotel, trying desperately to hold onto his resolve. Suddenly, the doors to the hotel flew open, and Alastor was quickly ready to attack, but his eyes widen as they land on the shorter figure of the king of hell. "Dad!" Charlie squeals darting over to hug her father, making the king chuckle as he hugs his daughter in return, "well hello there my little apple seed" Lucifer greets. Alastor stood in the lounge frozen in place, he didn't know what to say or do in that moment at the kings very unexpected visit. Lucifer looks up at Alastor and his smile very noticeable widens, looking at the sweet deer he had fallen in love with. Alastor fought off a blush as he smiled back, regaining his composure quickly as he approached the two royal demons. "Well isn't this quite a lovely surprise! It's absolutely wonderful to see you here your majesty!" Alastor greets in his usual upbeat manner. The immediate change was not lost on Charlie, she easily noticed how Alastor suddenly had his usual energy back, did her dads visit have something to do with it?

"Why it's quite lovely to see you again as well Alastor, it's been quite some time since I last saw you, has your hair grown longer old friend?" Lucifer comments with a smirk. Alastor fights off the blush again and nods with his usual grin, "yes indeedy! I don't see any reason not to let my hair grow a tad every now-and-then!" Alastor remarks. Charlie picked up on what was going on here quickly, "hey why don't you show my dad around the hotel Alastor! You two will have a chance to catch up!" Charlie cheers with a wide smile. Alastor gives her a thankful smile and nods, "follow me your highness!" Alastor cheers starting to walk down the hallway. Lucifer followed behind the tall deer, his snake like eyes scanning every door until they came across an empty room, the fallen angel pushing the overlord into the room and shoving his tongue down the deers throat while he was in the ground. The king pushed the door closed with his foot as he continues to make love to his doe's mouth, the sinner moaning as he grips the kings suit. Lucifer reluctantly pulls away, continuing his assault on the sinners neck after removing his coat and unbuttoning his shirt.

   Alastor solemnly buttoned up his shirt again, thankful the turtleneck covered his neck as to hide the purple marks covering his flesh. The king wraps his arms around the deers waist, the deer demon freezing as he looks over behind his shoulder. "What seems to be the trouble darling?" Lucifer asked the buck, Alastor takes a shaky breath as he ultimately decides it was now or never. "I want to be public with you Lucifer" he mumbles just under his breath, only to let out a sharp gasp as black claws dig into his sides. "No! Absolutely not! We made a deal Alastor! You agreed to keep this relationship secret!" Lucifer yelled out in fury. Tears trickled down the deer demons face, his heart hurt that the man he loved could be so disgusted by the idea of their love being known. Lucifer gasp as he sees the blood dripping from Alastor's sides and lightly coating his claws. "Alastor, I-" Lucifer tried to explain, but he couldn't find the words, Alastor was afraid and bitter, in a void of shadow he disappeared from the kings view.

   Pill after pill was swallowed down, the old-timer trying desperately to gain some form of relief, he tried so hard to just be happy, now he was popping happy pills that never seemed to work. Nothing seemed to work as the sadness started to constrict him, the world around him started spinning, making him dizzy and then suddenly, everything went black. "Alastor!" Lucifer called out, worry lacing his words as he practically punched the door. What had he done? He was so foolish as to choose his pride and image over the man he loved, his father always warned him his pride would be his undoing one day, but he always thought that was falling from heaven, nothing anywhere close to this! Finally the fallen angel pulled the door off the henges, he gasped as he saw his beloved deer passed out on the floor, pills were scattered across the floor, it couldn't be more clear what happened. Lucifer screamed out for help, for anyone to save the only mortal he ever loved, Charlie and Vaggie rushing over in an instant. Both women gasp at the sigh and team up to carry the unconscious deer.

   Lucifer stood outside the hospital room, his hat tipped down to cover his face, grief stricken he paced outside the hospital room. Charlie was insistent her father explained what happened, he couldn't deny her the truth any longer, after all, he wasn't sure if Alastor was going to make it. Charlie burst into tears at the news, there was a lot of tears and angry screaming at the king from the group, Lucifer couldn't blame them, Alastor...deserved better then this. He fell asleep in the waiting room that night, sitting in one of the uncomfortable hospital chair, even his dreams were filled with the man he loved most. He sat on a field under a shady tree, his claws gently running through crimson locks and petting soft ears, the scene was so perfect, but Lucifer had something he needed to say. "Please don't leave me". The red-head looks up at him, ruby reds gleam as he smiles up at the royal, "let's go home". Lucifer shoots up as yelling suddenly fills the air, "the radio demon is awake!" a nurse screams. Lucifer jumps out of his chair, dashing down the long corridors and slammed the doors open.

   Ruby red met pale yellow, a weak smile stretched against grey skin as those beautiful words were uttered for him again, "let's go home". Lucifer embraced the deer, both were laughing and crying, lips soon interlocking as they ignored prying eyes. Their deal was broken, they no longer had to keep their relationship a secret, it didn't matter anymore, they loved each other. Alastor had to be taken care of for awhile, Lucifer happily taking up the mantle and cared for the weak door the way he knew the buck deserved. When Alastor had fully recovered, the two made a public announcement, telling all of hell about their relationship, Vox cursing under his breath Alastor's fine ass was off the table. The two met in a loving kiss, fingers running through each other's hair smoothly as the slowly pulled away, looking in each other's eyes. "I love you Alastor" Lucifer mutters. "I love you too" Alastor says in return. With that, their lips came together in another loving kiss.
