One day. Behind you, in the hotel, Alastor, lounging on the rooftop [He considered offering a gift in appreciation of the friendship you two have made]

"I have a gift for you my dear, friend." His signature smile on his face, he walked over you. He handed you a small black box

"For me? You shouldn't have Alastor!" A rush of exquisite thoughts floated...Curious as to what is inside You opened the box...it was a red bowtie? You felt skeptical, then wondered why he would give you a bowtie knowing you were a girl

"What's with the look? Don't you like it?" He asked, staring at you

"No no, not that..It's just- I'm a girl. I don't think it would suit me." You chuckled, As Alastor shook his head subtly

"Nonsense! My dear. It may not be new to you, But I adore the color red and not only because it reminds me the color of dried blood." He chuckles, His fingers began to encircle your collar w/ the bowtie

"You see, red symbolizes power, elegance, and success-qualities that I have always admired and aspired to embody. And in presenting you with this bow tie.." He said, in a gentle tone, as he proceed to tie the bowtie around

"I offer you not just a fashionable accessory, but a symbol of the strength and sophistication that you possess. Only the worthy dare to don the color red, and in you, my dear friend, I see a kindred spirit-a soul deserving of such grandeur." He smiled, softly

"As you fasten this bow tie around your neck, may you feel the weight of it's significance, the weight of the power and prestige that it represents. So wear this bow tie with pride, my friend, and know that in doing so, you carry with you a piece of my admiration and respect." With a gentle tilt of his head

"Besides..He slowly moves his gaze from your lips to your eyes

"This color suits your cheeks and lips very well, don't you think?" He smiled. You gazed upon him in utter amazement. Your face flushed a little like a rose, your heart began to beat quickly

The realization: The moment you fell in love with him
