Knight!America x Witch!Reader 8

You couldn't believe your eyes. His smile grew as you registered that this was real. You did it. Your Alfred was in front of you, and not the other one. You hooked your arms around his neck and buried your face in the crook, laughing and crying.

"It worked, it worked! I'm so glad you're back to normal!" His arms pulled you down closer to him, and his face buried into your (h/l)(h/c) hair, smiling like a fool.

"Glad to be back to normal, thanks to you ______," you looked at him, and without another thought, you kissed him, and immediately he kissed back. You pulled away, and the two of you grinned like idiots, until Alfred's face became red.
"Umm, dudette?"
"Ya?"
"Could you...umm...get off?" It took a moment to realize why he was so nervous all of a sudden, but soon your own face heated up, as you crawled off of him, turning your back to him as he got up and redressed himself.
"Sorry about that ______,"
"It's... It's alright," there was a heavy silence between the two of you, as you thought about the prior night.
"I'm really sorry ______, about last night, about everything. I-I couldn't stop myself.  It's like I was watching everything in first person, but no matter what I couldn't fight it. I tried to stop myself but it was like I was paralyzed and I...I saw myself hunting you down and I kept screaming and screaming to stop, but I couldn't, I just couldn't, and I...I......" You looked at the broken blonde, pain in your heart at his own. You crawled onto his side of the bed, and hugged him, as he silently sobbed in guilt.

"You can't blame yourself Alfie. There was nothing you could do, just as you said. It wasn't you, so there's no reason to feel guilty. Anyone who knows you would know that you wouldn't hurt anyone for no reason. You yourself are a hero, and nothing will change that fact. That thing wasn't you Alfred, no matter what," you stroked his hair, as he held onto you and cried. You wished you could take his pain away, but unfortunately if you were to try any sort of spell on him, you could risk the mind lock breaking, and you'd be back to square one. Soon he calmed himself, as you wiped away the last of his tears. "Better?"

"Much, thanks (nick name)," he grinned at you, and you felt yourself grin back to him.

"Well, I believe it is time for us to leave, huh?" You looked at him, and sorrowfully you shook your head, causing him to tilt his head in confusion.

"Unfortunately Alfie, we have to find that warlock, or he could take over again and we'd be back to square one," you saw dread flash in his eyes as you say this, and he immediately shook his head.

"No way ______, that guys is dangerous! Too dangerous! I don't want you to get hurt! We'll head over to Iggy's place and get him to help, but we're not going after him alone!" You were about to retaliate until you felt something cold and dark crawl up your spine, as if death himself was approaching. Alfred was right. You had to leave, now. You nodded and grabbed his hand, and the two of you sprinted out and down the maze like halls, unbeknownst of a pair of lavender eyes watching your running forms.
