We can." Charlie replied immediately. "I don't want to stop your plans for being here.."

"Do I have too?" Angeldust whined/asked.

"Unless you want to go back to the hotel." Vaggie offered.

"Fine..." he pouted.

"Husker will probably stick... where is Husker?" Charlie looked around, realizing the feline demon was gone.

"Calm your tits! I'm 'ight 'ere!" Husk said as he took a swig of wine. Probably already drunk.

Alastor sighed. "Can't even keep away for a second.."

"Husk! That's not ours!" Charlie panicked, trying to take it away. Husk wouldn't let her though.

"No, mine now!" He clutched the bottle in a death grip like a toddler to a sippy cup or toy.

Janette giggled. "It's alright. Aunt Elenore owned several wine companies along with a few popular bars. It's more than likely I'll be sent more samples of their latest products later on. So it wouldn't matter. Although I would appreciate it if you would give your thoughts later on how they tasted."

Husk grumbled out "okay" and promptly plopped down on the couch. Remarkably not spilling a drop of the wine.

Janette shook her head with a smile then started to move some of the furniture around.

"We are supposed to be redeeming them, not making it worse.." Charlie groaned.

"If you could help with the furniture or step aside, that'd be great, princess." Alastor asked, helping with the furniture.

"Right! Of course!" Charlie and Vaggie started helping out too.

With the living room set up, Janette laid the padding on the floors and then placed the sheets on top. "I'm going to get the rest of the stuff. Alastor? Care to help?" Janette politely asked.

"Coming!" The demon perked, always happy to help his dear, sweet Janette. He walked over to her, ready to go. "Don't make a mess while we are gone?" He asked the rest.

"Ok!" Charlie agreed with a salute.

As Alastor and Janette came back with the rest of the stuff. They set it up for everyone. And by then everyone was getting tired. Husk had finished off the wine and was out cold. Everyone hunkered down for the night.

Alastor huffed, amused. "And they call themselves demons."

Janette giggled and then yawned. "Well I'm going to bed. If by any chance my friends, the decorators, or the electricians come by early, make sure everyone is up and in their human forms. Okay?"

"Will do, my dear." He hugged her close. 'The others are asleep, this is my chance.' He leaned down and gave a gentle peck on the lips. "Good night and sweet dreams~" Alastor purred.

Janette blushed but she returned the kiss but a little harder and longer but gentle. "Goodnight Smiley Buckeroo~" she smiled as she walked to her room and went to bed.

He hesitated. 'Should I..? I think I will.' He followed Janette.

Janette was about to change into her pj's until she heard a knock on her door. She opened it to find a blushing Alastor. "What's up? Is someone awake?"

"No... I, um, I was wondering..." He grumbled a bit to himself, as if giving himself a pep talk. "If I could perhaps... sleep with you..?" Hence why he was a blushing mess.

Janette blinked a few times then blushed. "I-If you want to... just give me a moment or two to get changed into my clothes. Okay?"

"Ah! Yes, right. I will wait out here until you are ready." Alastor closed the door for her. 'She said yes!'

Janette was panicking and pacing back and forth in her room.

'Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!!!! Okay Janette it's just sleeping.... No funny business... he's a gentleman.... And the first person you ever loved.... Oh gosh...' she hurriedly changed into a blue tank top with long plush blue plaid pj pants.

"Y-you can come in..." she said quietly.

He stepped in, still blushing himself and changed into his own red pajamas which consisted of a plain red nightshirt and matching pants with a black robe.

"... I like your clothes. It matches." She slightly giggled.

"As I, yours... blue suits you, my dear." Alastor complemented back. He wandered over to the bed, sitting down. "It's been a long time since I had the luxury of sleep, seeing as demons don't actually need it or anything.." He hummed, feeling the smooth fabric.

Janette giggled. "Your friends seem to sing to a different tune." She mused as she climbed in bed with him.

"They also aren't overlords." He pointed out. "Sleep isn't always the safest, you must keep your guard up or you'll fall."

Janette looked at him with a sympathetic smile and cupped her hand on his cheek. "It SOUNDS more like a YOU problem. But I have the feeling you already know that." She said as she kissed his forehead where the "x" mark was.

He chuckled, nearly flinching when she kissed that spot. "That I do." He kissed her back, on the cheek.

She giggled at his kiss. She saw how much more relaxed he was around her. That really touched her heart. She scooted closer to him and gave him a hug and nuzzled into his chest. "I always want you to feel relaxed. Especially around me, even if it's only just these moments. Because I honestly think that these moments are going to be what we remember and treasure most. I love you my Smiley Buckeroo."

His heart swelled at those simple words. "I believe you are quite right, My Doe.. Trust me when I say I feel the most relaxed within your presence. Even with that thing around your neck." He was mostly teasing at the end, though being a demon, the rosary did make him feel an uncomfortable, dull pain.

Janette realized that she hadn't taken off her necklace. "I'm so sorry Al! Let me just..." she tried to fiddle with the latch of the necklace but was having difficulty.

He helped her take it off, the dull pain increasing as he did so. "It's fine, My Doe, I'd rather you be safe than sorry. I can handle trinkets like these."

He looked at the base of her neck. She smelled so good.

He leaned in closer. "Mmmm~. Much better now that you don't reek of holiness~"

"So you prefer I don't smell like purity and sage?" She joked while blushing as he sniffed her neck.

"Yes." He said bluntly. "Wildflowers and forested rain showers are much more.. You."

"Do I really smell like that? I'd figure I'd smell like death, liquor, and food with how much my jobs take up my time." She joked.

"For a demon, we can only actually smell a human's soul. That sticks out more than their physical scent, anyway. Your soul smells of freshly rained forests and wildflowers. A scent blocked due to the rosary." Alastor explained as he drank in her wonderful smell. It made him hungry, but not in the way most demons would think..

"O-oh... okay..." she blushed and tried to contain her giggles as he kept smelling and tickling the base of her neck with his face.

The demon finally kissed the spot, sharp teeth poking ever so lightly at her skin. Her scent was driving him crazy, he was finding difficulty in holding back, but he refused to take things too far. There was a time and a place, and he wasn't sure if this was the time or the place.

She jumped a little at the contact from him and his teeth. "A-Al...?" She asked shyly.

He pulled away. "I'm sorry, I can stop if it makes you uncomfortable." He responded immediately.

"I-It's not that... it actually felt.... Nice. You just surprised me a little." She said as she turned to face him with a flushed face but had a small smile. She then kissed him on his nose.

He blinked, startled by the gesture. 'It was cute though.' He thought, flushing himself. "I-I suppose then... you should get some rest."

"Yeah. But Al...?" She said shyly.

He gave a curious tilt of his head. "Yes, My Doe?"

She kept flushing at the nickname. "C-Can you s-spoon and cuddle with me...? Please...?" She asked with big blue doe eyes.

He turned crimson. "I-I don't see why not.." With the snap of his fingers, the lights turned off and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to his chest. He felt very comfortable and relaxed with her this close. He could just drift off without any difficulties or worries..

"Al...?" She asked tentatively.

"Hm...?" Was his sleepy reply.

"I love you and I promise that we'll have our first time soon. Just until everything settles down. Goodnight... My Buck." She wrapped her arm around him and fell asleep.

He only really heard the "goodnight" and the "I love you" bit in his sleepy state. "Good night My Doe... I love you..... Too..." He mumbled before drifting off himself.
