"What is your most happiest memory you can think of?" Isadora asked Alastor, it was the next morning and both were laying naked in bed in each other's arms, Alastors legs entangled around Isadora's, arms wrapped around each other.

" From when I was alive or when I came to hell?" He asked as he brushed a strand of hair away from her face.

" Either or," She said and smiled looking at Alastor taking him all in, his peaceful expression his thick red hair rumpled from sleep and sex, he was always well dressed and well groomed and she felt privy that she could see this side of him. The part of him that is just an ordinary man and not the overlord he wanted everyone to fear.

" I would have to say my 10th birthday," Alastor replied with a contemplative look as if making sure that this was the correct answer to give.

" Your 10th birthday? That's sweet." Isadora said smiling at the thought.

" Yes it was my 10th birthday and my mother saved me five nickels for me to see my first picture show. I never seen one before and my mother saved enough money for me to see a nickelodeon I watched the same one over and over til I was out of nickels. Watching the pictures dance across the screen and come to life was like magic to me as a child." He said as he smiled and pulled Isadora closer to him.

" That sounds like a good memory." Isadora said smiling her forehead touching Alastors as she planted a soft kiss on his lips, Alastor cupped her face with one of his hands deepening the kiss.

" What about you my little blue devil what is your happiest memory?" He asked stroking her shoulder with his thumb. She had to really think of that question for a moment her childhood was a awful one until her mom died and she loved Flora but memories of her now brought pain cause she missed her so much.

" I would have to say the valentines day we spent together in your radio tower and you told me you loved me for the first time." She said and Alastor gave a slight smile.

" That is a happy memory for me as well." He replied and gave her another soft kiss.

" I never gave up on the idea that the right girl would come along and I would be ready for her. Even when the decades past or it was implied by some that because I may be asexual that I didn't want her to come along as if being that didn't allow me to want to be with someone. But I still never gave up, then came you. You were well worth waiting a century for." He said smiling as he caressed the side of her face she smiled.

" I don't know what it is about you that always drew me to you even when I tried my hardest to resist you by ignoring you or doing something to push you away I was drawn to you like a moth to a flame and I couldn't resist you anymore. You were the person I needed." Alastor smiled and nuzzled his face into her neck.

" I was always drawn to you, it's a feeling I can't explain ever since I saw you, you started a flame in my heart."

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The week dragged by long when Alastor told Charlie he ' quit' the days dragged for Isadora waiting for him to return and was very glad when he came back this morning telling Charlie he wanted to cash in on his deal and have her take him back with no questions or conditions asked, and as expected she did it without question and was glad to have him back and was relieved that his favor was indeed harmless. Alastor gave Isadora the biggest hug when he came into her room that morning, not only cause he missed his little blue devil but also her plan worked and he was no longer constraint to a deal and was back on his terms and was not confined to the deal he made with Charlie, and he had Isaodra to thank for it. His brilliant, cunning, little blue devil who has proven time and time again that she was indeed worthy and has measured up to his standards.

" I missed you." Isadora said her and Alastor were in his large square bathtub together she finally had a reason to use the French lavender bubble bath she bought at Rosie's emporium months ago and was glad to put it to good use. Isadora's head was against his chest, her back to him resting contently between his legs. Alastors arms were wrapped around her as he relaxed into the hot water. This last year in a half has been mentally taxing on him and the relaxing hot water he felt was much deserved

" I missed you too my little blue devil, it was very boring and lonely not having you around." He said as he looked up at the ornate tin ceiling one hand shifted to toy with Isadora's hair. Her hands on his knees as she sank deeper into his embrace letting the hot water relax her. She started absentmindedly tracing her finger in circles around his knee.

" Yes, it was very boring and lonely without you also and kind of sad. I really missed you."

" Well I'm here now and I don't intend on going anywhere and I have you to thank for it my dear." He replied hugging her tighter, she felt so small and delicate in his arms and couldn't help but feel protective of her even though he knew she was more powerful then him.

" I'm glad, and I'm glad my idea worked and you are back under your terms." She said and gave a slight smile to herself.

" I am glad too and when all goes towards my favor I will spend my eternity repaying you for making it all happen." He said kissing the top of her head.

" I am just glad you are back and aren't going anywhere."

" Like I said I don't intend on going anywhere,you are mine and you belong to me." He said as she looked up at him.

" Promise?" She asked and he cupped her chin with his hand.

" I promise."
