I’ve Got You
You sit in front of the computer and look at the news articles of the overlords that reside over Hell.
//Vox is here too...
Overlords...they're powerful...they have powers...//
You hold your face in your hands as you grasp at the information. Its been a few hours since you ran from the hotel and the sky outside your apartment window was a deep red and the large pentagram in the sky was outlined black.
Shutting the laptop you stand up and breathe in deeply.
//Husk is at the hotel and Anthony might be too...Whether Alastor is there or not I can't not see them after finding them.
Plus Charlie was so happy to find someone new for the rehabilitation program. I can't let her down after promising I was serious...But why was he even at the hotel? He's a feared tyrant...//
Your thoughts are finally falling back into place. Your breath and heart begins to steady until you jump at a sudden knock at your door. Your eyes whip to the door and you slowly stand from your couch.
Swallowing hard you approach the door, and lean your ear against it, //did he find where I live? Did Charlie tell him?//
"W-Who is it?",you stammer out in a shaky voice while pressing your ear against the wood. You hear nothing but silence and the sound of someone shifting. With hesitation you unclasps all your locks and slowly open the door.
Your eyed meet a pair of mismatched ones. You exhale sharply at the sight of the pale spider demon. His snow white face is adorned with pink freckles and his white hair is messy, streaks of pink adorn it.
//Angel Dust.//
You blinked back and let the door open slowly. Your voice was soft and hopeful,"Anthony?..."
Angel Dust ran here as soon as he returned to the hotel from work. He was met with Charlie reprimanding Alastor and Husk who had filled her in on why you suddenly disappeared, despite Alastors protests to not do so.
He couldn't believe them. It was too good to be true there's no way you could be here. There's no way he could have a second chance of seeing you.
Yet you just spoke his name. He cried day and night for you, wondering if Alastor killed you after he smoked him and Val. Upon meeting the radio demon he said he hadn't...but he couldn't believe such a monster.
Angel Dust's arms wrapped around you in a second and he held you to him tightly, almost afraid he was hallucinating once more from the drugs. But he knew it was real when your arms wrapped around him and you began to sob against his fluffy chest.
"(Y/N)—I can't believe—",Angel Dust could barely choke out his words as you two embraced in the doorway. Tears rolled down his blushed cheeks, his smudged liner streaking his makeup. He buries his face in the crook of your neck.
"You're really here...",he sobs into your neck while his entire being shakes. You can hear the complete and utter sadness and joy overfilling his voice. You rub soothing circles on his back and blink out your own tears.
"And you're really here.",you say softly while allowing him to sob into your neck. You feel your heart light up and beat. Angel swallows hard and sniffles while reluctantly pulling away.
You chuckle softly and reach up to wipe the liner streaks from his cheek,"I missed you...so much.",You say softly while leading him inside and shutting the front door. Angel clears his throat and turns to you with a sad smile,"Same here, toots..."
Angel looked at you as you stared up at him with such joy and relief. He felt his heart beat rapidly and she let out a soft sigh,"There's so much to catch you up on..."
«»
"So its true. You really did kill everybody in front of her.",Husk states through grinding teeth while pouring a glass of booze for himself. Alastor nods as he holds the glass in his gloved hands and swirling around the alcohol he has yet to take a sip of.
Charlie stormed off to try and get into contact with you and to gather her thoughts at this insane chance of fate.
The hotel door opens and both men turn to see you walk in with Angel, your arms are linked. Husk and Alastor still as you walk towards the bar. Angel looks at you with concern and you nod.
He leaves to notify Charlie of your return and you stand in front of Alastor.
Husk watches you with intensity as you look up to Alastor. Alastors eyes roam over your beautiful features, he can't help but have his wide grin soften at the rosiness on the tip of your nose and your white hair, the tops of your pigtails resembling rabbit ears.
You're really here...in front of him. He reaches out and gently cups your cheek, his eyes softening and his touch as gentle as it had been before. His radio filtered voice runs clear.
"I can't believe you're truly—"
Husk jumps when a loud slap resonates through the lobby. Alastors eyes are wide as his cheek is turned to you. Your hand stings as does his gray cheek. You're completely numb as you watch him gently touch his cheek.
He tastes metal on his tongue and you step away from his touch.
You waited decades...losing hope by the day, week, month, and year. A part of you wondered what it would be like to reunite with Alastor. And now you knew. You felt nothing but pain and ache when you looked at him. But for some reason you had no words for him.
You were still in some wave of shock.
You hated him.
Husk watches as Alastor turns to look back at you,"(Y/N)...",Husk mutters out while rounding the bar.
You realized just how much your heart raced when he touched you.
You loved him.
//He doesn't deserve my words.//
With one last pained glare you swallowed hard and walked away from your past lover. Running a hand through your snow white locks you follow in the direction Angel went.
Alastor stands with his head bowed and hands balled at his sides. Husk sends him one last look before leaving after you.
You walk down the hallway while furiously wiping away the hot tears that have just now escaped. You look around at the many doors and the staircase just across and the elevator aside it. You stop and sniffle as you look to the many portraits and paintings strewn about.
"(Y/N)...",Husk says softly as he stands just a few ways behind you. You flinch at the sound of his deep and husky voice and you're quicker to wipe away your tears.
"How embarrassing...",you mutter as you look to the ground and notice Husks beaten boots making their way in front of you. Your bottom lip quivers and Husks hesitates before curling his fingers beneath your chin. His other hand pushes yours from your face.
Lifting your chin to look up at him you stare up into his golden colored eyes. Husk's heart breaks at the sight of your tear streaked face. Your nose and cheeks redder than before.
"I can't imagine what you're feeling right now...",Husk starts while cupping your cheeks gently to wipe away the tears with his thumbs,"But I'm here if you wanna tell me about it...although I ain't that good with feelings and shit so..."
You feel your heart warm up as you catch Husk's hands before he can pull them away,"Thank you..." Husks cheeks begin to tinge pink at the feeling of your soft hands embracing his calloused ones. His heart races as that warm smile spreads across your lips.
//She's still got me...//
Husk knew now wasn't the time to pour anything new on you. You must have had quite a rattling shock today and confessing his feelings would not exactly alleviate any of that shock.
Looking up at Husk you tilted your head slightly. He was looking at you in a strange way...your heart skipped a beat.
You both jumped at the sound of someone clearing their throat. You whipped to see Charlie peaking her head out of the door just across the way.
“Welcome back, (Y/N). If you don’t mind I need to discuss some things with you.”,she said with a nervous smile and you nodded rapidly. With a soft smile you gave Husk a gentle nod and walked towards Charlie.
//Today has been a day...// you think silently while accepting Charlies hug. She pulls away with a smile and she gasps while pulling her phone from her slacks. She holds it up with an excited grin.
“Oh! Do you mind if I’m public about you being a new client?”

“I’m bored!”,Velvet whined while leaning back against the arm of the couch while scrolling through her instagram feed. She mindlessly tapped through people’s stories with pursed lips and furrowed brows.
Vox’s red and blue eyes looked to Velvet with a soft snort, he tossed another treat to his beloved pet,”Well then do something.”
Valentino chuckled as he counted the money the club made tonight while scrolling through his instagram as well. His glowing red eyes narrowing slightly through his heart shape shades as he stumbled across Angel’s story.
He places down the stack of cash and his eyes widen. Angel reposted a screenshot from the princess’s story.
// Welcome to the Happy Hotel (Y/N)! //
It was a photograph of you with Charlie. You wore a warm smile, your red eyes staring into the camera and Charlie smiling widely. Valentino sat up quickly and blinked back.
Looking to Vox as he cood at the hammerhead shark Valentino screenshotted Angels story and hesitated before standing. Velvet looked to Valentino as he stood with wide eyes and slightly parted lips. She sat up on the couch with worry.
//There’s no way its her...
But that smile and that name...//
“Vox, you needa look at this.”
