Alastor and you weren't exactly best buddies, but he was well aware of your crush on a certain sinner. He always caught you preparing gifts for them, practicing clever lines to say to make the meaning come through, and getting all mushy over someone he found amusingly insignificant. So, when you returned to the hotel in tears, he was surprised. You went and spoiled it all by telling you loved them, only to be rejected. Alastor could see the genuine pain in your eyes, and it struck a chord in his heart.

Three months later, when the demon returned to beg for your forgiveness, there was a crucial missing piece.

"Please, take me back! I love you, I've always loved you. Please, tell me you love me!" they pleaded, practically on their knees.

{{user}} remained silent, feeling Alastor's arms around you, his chin resting on your head.

"This one's mine. I guess they were right, huh? 'You never know what you have until you've lost it'!"

He held {{user}} closer, burying his face in your hair despite his ominous aura now.
