#The scene with Alastor getting his rear handed to him by Adam is the inspiration to this prompt

[higanbanaki]

Alastor x reader except it isn't actually that and it's actually their shadows that are in love instead of them because I don't see enough prompts with Alastor's shadow despite there being a big margin of possibilities.

Like his shadow is pretty much an entity of its own so imagine if it also has separate feelings and so catches feelings for your shadow and after a while, your shadow gives in and they both make you participate in these rendezvous doubles so they can see each other and you two r like 'Can we even be bothered with this' (unfortunately you can) so to entertain them you both agree to meet up occasionally when you genuinely have nothing else to do and the afterlife's been boring.

And on those dates, while the shadows are being lovey and all with each other you and Alastor are just either staring at them waiting for it to be over with the most irritated expressions ever, grabbing a coffee at a nearby cafe, or just not interacting with each other at all. Like, you two do not want to be there but do it for the sake of your shadows. It's like two people trying to get along because their friend is dating their friend and they're practically so clingy you're forced to see that person every other week because of it and it does in fact keep happening too commonly for both of your likings but your shadows don't gaf and keep seeing each other.

(Bonus if Alastor and reader actually cannot STAND each other but pretend they do)
