lonelysmiles: Wait for it... (Keep A Straight Face)

Alastor's ears twitched as he flushed bright red at the close contact. "I suppose I have little choice in the matter, do I?"

Oh, this was going to be so awkward. (Also, Angel, you did not want to make the Deal Alastor did to attain such power. The repercussions of possessing such power were even worse than the stated cost.)

He slowly undid his house robe. The bandages were a bit red, true, but the blood wasn't fresh. That was a good sign. They'd still need to be changed, of course, but the fact that it wasn't constantly bleeding meant it was already starting to heal.

Alastor yelped at the smack to his rear end. He narrowed his eyes, grin tightening with warning. However, he reined in his temper. Now was not the time.

He sat back down on the bed as he waited for Angel to gather what he needed. Then the spider was back, telling him to "assume the position". It took him a moment to realize what Angel had meant.

He tentatively reached out and placed his arms on Angel's shoulders. Ooh, this was not going to feel good coming off. He could tell.

What was under the bandage wasn't pleasant. Some pus had oozed out in the beginning but it was largely covered up by blood now. At least it didn't have too much of a smell of illness now. It had certainly improved by leaps and bounds over the past several hours.

Alastor's ears twitched at the feeling of the disinfectant on the open wounds. However, he didn't make a sound, allowing Angel to do what needed to be done. However, he did jerk at the question. His entire face and body flushed scarlet. He didn't really talk about such a thing but considering the kissing that happened last night...

"You like to go right to the most personal matters, don't you?" he asked with an awkward chuckle. "Do you honestly think a man who doesn't like to be touched as much as I would be able to handle that much physical contact? No, my dear, I've never partaken in such activities."

He knew that was exceptionally rare in Hell. Either one willingly participated in carnal acts or they participated unwillingly. To be honest, a virgin was a hot commodity in Hell. Some powerful spells used virgin blood as a main ingredient so it could be quite pricey to come by. However, there was always that impulse to corrupt, meaning some people couldn't resist proverbially killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Alastor shook his head to the last two questions. "I never felt any particular urges for such engagements. Risque magazines only made me uncomfortable. There were some young ladies (and I suspect a closeted gentleman or two) that had taken interest in me due to hearing my voice on the radio and 'falling in love' with it, but the feeling was never reciprocated."

He looked at his hands.

"I didn't start wearing gloves after I died. I wore them all the time when I was alive, too. Forgive the potentially offensive analogy, but the longer I'm in physical contact with someone, the more it feels like spiders are marching beneath my skin at the point of contact. It's very unpleasant for me. And even if I did somehow find a partner that I was interested in, then what? 'I'm sorry, my dear, but I can't stand physical affection so the most affection you'll get from me are words, my cooking, and the very occasional brief touch'? A proper relationship is a partnership, a give-and-take where both parties get something out of it that they couldn't find anywhere with anyone else."

A somewhat twisted view on a relationship, but honestly? That was the healthiest type of relationship he'd ever personally seen. That had to be the norm, right?

That...that was a lot to unpack. His mind spun as he stared at Angel's back. He debated what to say.

With a snap of his fingers, he was fully dressed again.

"You're quite attractive," Alastor admitted. "And honestly my personal feelings on sex aside, I don't look down on you for your profession. As I've gotten to know you and after that incident where you pushed me away when I was inebriated so you didn't give into your own base impulses, I now understand that your...offer...on our first meeting had been a jest. You may tease me about such things, but you never force the issue. I respect that."

He reached up to fitfully tug at an ear.

"Though I admit that I don't know if my feelings run deeper for you are not, I enjoy your company. I enjoy both our back-and-forths and our quiet moments. I feel...safe...when I tell you things about myself that are deeply personal and that I'd gut anyone else for even attempting to learn. I like you, too, Angel, but...I'm just not certain how far that goes." He gave an awkward smile in case Angel looked back at him, still absently tugging on his ear. "I wish I could give a better, more definite response to you."

Though now he wondered what messages Angel had left on his phone. A shame Angel had deleted --

No wait. He hadn't. Or at least he likely hadn't. Angel had been so distracted by Alastor's injuries yesterday, he hadn't touched the mobile device. Unless he'd done it after Niffty had let him into the room today while Alastor had been effectively dead to Hell. (Whenever he had used up too much of his power, had gotten badly injured, or both, he tended to sleep like a rock instead of his usual light slumber.)

He flicked his wrist, the phone teleporting off its charger and into his free hand. He released his ear as he looked down at the device.

"...Did you really send me lewds?"

Alastor's ears twitched with pleasure. Not just at not having obscene pictures on his phone but hearing how much Angel valued him.

"And you've become more than just a crude patron of this hotel to me," he assured the spider. He then looked down, his smile gentling somewhat. "And it's not often that they grow to like someone who can't hear them so quickly."

The little shadow creatures were sneaking closer to Angel, curious as to why the spider was so red. Everything seemed to be going well after all!

"Thank you, but I'll pass on your generous offer," he said dryly.

His ears shot straight up as the little shadow creatures chirped positively at the idea of having pictures of Angel. Then his ears flattened as he flushed red in embarrassment, looking towards the eager little shadows whose smiles were a mix of innocent and mischievous as his own shadow silently laughed.

"He's not talking about the same types of photographs you all are!" he snapped.

"That is none of your -- !" He paused, flushing. "Well, I suppose it is your business, but I'd rather not discuss it! And will you all please stop?!"

The silent chittering had continued as they'd caught on to what Angel had meant. Quite a few of them had banded together to form a "gallery" of Angel's silhouette posed on the wall in provocative yet tasteful poses, shapes hinting at various costumes in the same vein.

Alastor's personal shadow bent over double in mute hysterical laughter at its master's expense.

He rounded on it with a snarl that was undermined by the bright red blush. "You're not helping!"

Alastor growled and forced out, "Sometimes my body doesn't give me a choice, and it's either take care of the blasted problem or suffer the consequences."

Which to someone like him who didn't like the idea of having sex, it always made him feel dirty afterwards.
