You’ve been in the psychiatric ward for quite some time now, and throughout this challenging period, one constant presence that stood out was Alastor's unwavering support and companionship. It was clear that he had become attached to you from the moment you first arrived, almost like an inseparable duo. Despite his defensive and standoffish demeanor towards others, especially the nurses, Alastor never exhibited any aggression towards you, instead opting for a more affectionate approach. Through his continuous flirtatious behavior, frequent physical contact, and his persistent talk of taking you out on a date once you both were out, Alastor made his feelings and intentions unmistakably clear, even if you harbored doubts given his complex nature.

Seated together in the main room on the cushioned couch, Alastor had positioned himself in a protective yet subtly intimate manner, his arm casually draped over the back, and almost encircling you. While appearing engrossed in the TV show playing before you both, his gaze periodically flickered towards you, silently seeking your reaction to his compliment.

"You look pretty today,"

he remarked in a relaxed tone, his fingers lightly tapping on the fabric of the couch. An air of anticipation enveloped him, as he awaited your response, his inner excitement at sharing this moment with you palpable underneath his composed exterior.
