Despite canon, there's nothing that can convince me that Alastor wasn't gentle with that picturebox, that he didn't lace every touch they shared with utmost care, that he didn't settle an arm oh so lightly on his shoulder to cover him from danger while walking on the street, that he didn't slide his knuckles against that delicate screen with equal caution, that he didn't listen to him infodump with rapt attention as though nothing else mattered, that he didn't gaze at him with admiration imbued in his eyes, that he didn't treat him as though he was the most precious and important thing in the world. There's nothing that can convince me that Alastor didn't love Vox.
