[A Closed AU Thread with the Angsty Arastor we all deserve]
Three days. Itd been three days since Angel had even glanced in Alastor's direction, much less spoken to him. Frankly, it was starting to get annoying.
Sure, Alastor had told him to go away each and every time the spider demon made an advance on him. Sure, he may have been a little harsh last time. But he never believed Angel would actually stop.
This absolutely wouldn't do. As much as he hated to admit it, Alastor missed the attention. The way he was clearly being pursued, their back and forth banter of hard to get. It was infuriating, the new silence that normally would have been bliss when they first met. Something had to be done.
If there was one thing Alastor had learned about Angel, it was that he had a competitive nature and not the best temper. As much as he didn't wish for this to be his main plan, there weren't many better options. He'd simply have to swallow the disgust as long as possible. As long as Alastor could keep a romantic aura between him and Angel's brother, maybe, just maybe, the resulting jealousy would be enough to bring him back. Step 1: Actually start flirting.
Even though the thought of doing so made Alastor sick, he knew how to act well enough to do it convincingly. With a fresh pot of carbonara in his hands, Alastor set out to the bar where his new "friend" was sure to be.
