Bottom! Alastor one-shots!

☁️ Appleradio Week: Perfect Night☁️

The hotel was in complete chaos, everyone scrambling to get everything ready for the night, it was a special night after all, one that they could not afford to screw up. Lucifer had implored his daughter to allow him to use the hotel for a very important date that night, he wouldn't tell her what was so important about that date specifically, but instead saying that it was a surprise that he could tell anyone about until everything was perfect. So Charlie informed the hotel staff about what's happening, while Husk and Angel typically wouldn't care about such things, they agreed to take this whole things seriously, specifically because it's for Alastor. So the hotel staff ran around in a frenzy wanting to make sure everything was perfectly set up for tonight, even Vaggie was making a genuine effort despite still holding a clear distaste towards the buck. So far things seemed to be looking good, a single table was set up with a rose bouquet in the center and candles were set far enough away as to not set them on fire, the smell of cinnamon wafting through the air from them and softly filling the air.

  Husk and Nifty had known Alastor even back in their living years, so naturally they knew some of his favorite things, this made them the main contender for the biggest help to the whole thing. Nifty supplied the roses, Husk was adamant about the cinnamon scented candles since apparently Alastor adored the smell of cinnamon, and both were working themselves hard to make all the Cajun dishes Alastor adored. Charlie didn't want them to overdue it so she stopped them at Jambalaya and Gumbo, this was more than fine by Husk, though Nifty seemed a bit more on the disappointed side. Well she definitely was the most hopelessly romantic of them all, though as Charlie lingered on the thought, Alastor was a pretty hopeless romantic as well-or so she's learned from his marriage to her father. Naturally their relationship bothered her at first, but she wanted them to be happy, and she eventually grew used to the idea. Charlie smiled softly as she looked at the set up everyone worked so hard to make work, maybe they did it more for Alastor than they did for her father, but it still meant so much to her how everyone worked so hard for someone other than themselves.

Charlie thought it was peculiar her father was very adamant about there being absolutely no alcohol at all, but as Alastor walked in with a large round belly on display, things became so much more clear to her. "Lucifer, you absolutely did not" Alastor laughs with a smile as he looks at the set up, "Charlie dear did you and the others truly do all this?" Alastor asked with tears in his eyes. Charlie smiled softly and nodded her head, "of course we did..." she said softly, warmth filled her heart as she saw her friend and second father so genuinely happy. Alastor walked over and carefully hugged her, "thank you so much darling...it means so much that you accept me and your new sister" Alastor whispers. Charlie's eyes widened in momentary shock at the sincere confession, she couldn't help but tear up as she hugged her step-father back with a sincere smile. "Of course...you're family now dad" Charlie said softly, the two pulled away with sincere smiles as they returned to their lovers. Vaggie held Charlie's hand and gave her a loving smile, a smile that reflected Alastor's own when he was around her father, this was how Charlie knew she could trust him.

Lucifer kisses Alastor's hand and pulls out his chair like a gentleman, petting the deers round stomach with a loving smile before sitting in his own seat. Alastor sighed in content, the candles seemed to soothe him and the roses were a beauty in his eyes, and it felt nice when Lucifer so generous tucked one between his ear. "Thank you darling...I truly needed this" Alastor laughs sincerely as their bowls of gumbo are set in front of them in a timely manner. "I know my darling, I could see how badly being stuck in the castle was affecting your mood, so I wanted to have this very special date just for you" Lucifer spoke. "Well, it's certainly working, I feel much better right now" Alastor sighed in content, savoring his gumbo with a far off look in his gaze as he thought back to the days of his childhood with his mother, and he would be a mother soon as well. His clawed hand subconsciously reached down to rub his own stomach, his thoughts consumed by all the things he could do with his husband and their daughter once she was born.

Once the Gumbo was gone, Jambalaya was served, much to the deer demons never ending delight. Nifty had been around pregnant ladies before and took it upon herself to ask Alastor what he wanted to drink, surprisingly he simply said a glass of apple juice will do, which was a bit more sweet than his usual preference, but cravings can do that to a person's appetite. The royals talked and ate and all was going perfectly, so perfectly Vaggie had her spear ready incase something terrible happened, but much to the shock and relief of everyone, nothing terrible happened. After dinner was done, Angel was begging to touch Alastor's stomach, Vaggie was furious and immediately scolded Angel while Alastor stayed silent, until finally piping up and saying everyone could as long as it was one at a time. Yes, everyone did touch his stomach, and yes, Lucifer did punch Angel in the face for getting a bit too carried away to say the least. As Alastor and Lucifer bid the Hazbins goodbye, leaving the hotel hand-in-hand, Alastor couldn't help but think about how tonight was the perfect night. It was all because of his wonder and difunctional family.
