Crowley and Aaron walked though the tunneled hallways of hell.
"Remind me why were here again?" Aaron muttered as she followed on her father's tail. Demons however turned and stared as the young angel/demon hybrid followed her sire.
"I just need to get some papers; it will only take a moment." Crowley said as they walked into an office like room. "Just wait here." Crowley muttered as he walked into an office room and shut the door behind him.
Looking around the room, Aaron sighed both out of annoyance and boredom. Running her fingers though her blonde curly hair, she leaned against one of the desks, not realizing someone was sitting on the other side.
The white-haired man looked up at the back of the woman, his eyes widened slightly. It was like a light was radiating off of her body. Clearing his throat, Aaron turned around. "Oh, I'm sorry, I did not know anyone was sitting at this desk." She said, her British accent sounding like the most beautiful thing that the white-haired man had ever heard.
"No, don't be." He said as he stood up. Walking around the table, he was now standing in front of the woman. Slowly he took her hand in his and brought it to his lips. Placing a gentle kiss on her hand. "I'm Hastur, the duke of hell" Hastur said, trying to make his voice sound less guttural and more formal.
"Pleasure" She said smiling. A hint of color appeared on her cheeks.
Hastur cocked his head, looking at the woman before him. "What's an angel doing in Hell anyway if you don't mind me asking?" She looked at him, confusion on her face. Hastur worried that he might have offended the young woman. Part of him wondered why he cared about offending her and the other half of him wanted nothing more then to make her happy. Subconsciously, he shook his head. I'm a demon, act like it, damnit!
"I'm actually half angel and half demon. I'm waiting for my father to finish his meeting with Beelzebub." Hastur thought for a moment, the only one meeting with Beelzebub was…
"Your father is Crowley" Hastur growled, the sentence coming out more as a statement then a question. Aaron only nodded her head. "Yep" she said popping her 'p'.
As if fate had it, before Hastur could ask the young woman anything, the door to Beelzebub's office opened and out walked Crowley. "Oi! Aaron, time to go" Crowley said as he was busy looking at his papers in hand. Looking up however when he did not hear his daughter respond, he was shocked to see her standing next to Hastur of all people. Walking over, Crowley got in front of his daughter, worrying that Hastur was planning to start something.
"What do you want Hastur?" Crowley growled, Aaron only rolled her eyes and gave Hastur a sympathetic look as if apologizing silently for her father's actions.
"I was only asking your daughter what she was doing down in Hell. No harm done." Hastur said, his voice filled with annoyance. Crowley only nodded his head before walking away, Aaron following on his heels.
"She's a beautiful specimen, isn't she?" Hastur turned around to see Beelzebub walking up behind him, her eyes glued on Aaron. "Hastur I have a new job for you. I want you to go after her to get to Crowley." Hastur looked at Beelzebub then to Aaron.
"What do you mean?"
"Make her fall in love with you, steal her from Crowley and then break her little heart. It will break his just as much to watch his daughter in pain." Beelzebub said before walking back to her office.
"You know nobody has ever asked me out before" Aaron said as she and Hastur walked though the park. Hastur just watched she skipped around, spinning around like something out of a princess movie. Her tartan skirt swirled around her as she spun. It was hypnotizing in a sense, however Hastur was snapped from his thoughts when they reached a small pool. There were ducks. Aaron knelt down next to the small pond, pulling out a zip lock baggy of bread crusts for the ducks.
"What are you doing?" Hastur asked as he pulled out a cigarette. Looking around to make sure no human was watching, his hand lit on fire and quickly lite the cigarette.
"I'm feeding the ducks. It's something that me and Papa use to do all the time." She said as a duck swam up to the couples as Aaron tossed a small piece of bred to the duck. Hastur only watched is amusement at the younger hybrid. A smile pulled at the corner of his lips. Aaron turned around before smirking.
"I don't think I have ever seen you smile before."
"What about it." Hastur growled, preparing himself for an insult
"It looks good on you. Do you want to try feeding the ducks?" Aaron asked as she threw another piece of bread to the duck
"I'm a duke of hell."
"And I am part angel and demon. Just because you are a big bad demon does not mean that you can't feed a few ducks."
Knowing that he was not going to win this argument, Hastur sighed before sitting down next to Aaron, taking a piece of bread form the baggie, he tossed it to the ducks.
The two sat there for a bit, watching the ducks swim in the water. Slowly, almost as if scared of what his reaction would be, Aaron leaned over, resting her head on Hastur's shoulder. Looking over, Hastur just smiled at Aarons action.
The rain poured down outside as Aaron danced around the kitchen. Her hair in a messy bun, and her body cladded in a pair of sweatpants and a long sleeve black shirt.
A light knock on the door brought Aaron out of her dream world and back to reality. Skipping over to the door, Aaron opened the small apartment door to be greeted by Hastur. His hair was slick with water and his clothing clung to his body showing how lean he was.
"Hello drowned rat" Aaron sung out as she stepped aside allowing Hastur in.
"Ha-Ha" He faked laugh. "You do know that if anyone else had said that then I would have to rip out their tongue. Hastur said as he tossed his wet jacket onto the chair before walking over towards Aaron who had returned to the kitchen.
"Oh, kinky" She purred as she hooped up onto the counter.
"Where are your parents anyway?" Hastur asked looking into the empty book store.
"Daddy and Papa went to Tad field to visit Aunt Anathema and Uncle Newt." Aaron muttered as she reached over for her cup of tea that she had been making before Hastur had shown up.
"And you chose to stay here?" Aaron nodded "Yep, it's like the only time I get to spend with you. Besides, Daddy, is becoming suspicious of me sneaking out all the time.
Damn Crowley, always getting in the way.
The two sat in silence for a few moments before a song on the radio caught Aaron's attention.
"Oh my gosh" She muttered as the opening to Thinking out loud started to play. Aaron jumped off the counter and held her hand out to Hastur. Hastur just raised his eyebrow at her.
"I want to dance. You do know how to dance, right?"
"Yes, I know how to dance." Hastur said as he stood up. Smiling Aaron placed her hand on Hastur's shoulders, and he placed his hands on her waist.
The two gently swayed to the music as it filled the kitchen. Smirking, Hastur took Aaron's hand and gently spun her sway from him before pulling her back again. As a result of doing this, the two's faces were so close that their noses were touching. Without thinking, Aaron pressed her lips against Hastur's. Aaron broke the kiss pulling away from Hastur, now looking at the demon standing in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I don't -" Hastur cut off Aaron by kissing her. As the two kissed, Hastur placed his hands on the sides of her face, Aaron's hands slide from his shoulder to is chest. After a moment the two broke the kiss.
"You don't know how long I wanted to do that." Hastur said, putting his forehead against Aaron's
"Your dating my worst enemy!" Crowley yelled storming around the kitchen. Aaron and Aziraphale were sitting at the small dining table.
"Daddy-"
"Don't 'Daddy' me, Aaron! You knew who he was when you go involved with him."
"Dear, don't you think your being too harsh." Crowley looked over at Aziraphale. A look of hurt and shock covered his face.
"You are aware that he tried to kill me." Crowley growled; his gold eyes glowed with anger.
"You are breaking up with him, NOW"
"No." Aaron said, her vision started to blur with tears.
"What was that? No?" Crowley asked, his tone still laced with venom.
"No, I love him and he loves me." Aaron cried out. Aziraphale stood up and knelt in front of his and Crowley's daughter, pulling their daughter into a hug.
"He is incapable of love; he is a disgusting maggot. How do you know that this is not just a ploy to break your heart? As a demon I should know that we are that cruel when we-"
"Crowley Shut the fuck up!" Aziraphale growled at his husband, Crowley's red vision started to clear, His daughter sat on the floor in her Papa's arms, her face stained with tears. The sight caused his heart to ache. This was the last thing he wanted his daughter to go thought.
Aaron looked up at her father. "I'll prove that Hastur loves me." She mumbled as she stood and ran out the door of the bookshop. Crowley and Aziraphale hot on their daughter's tail. Running out the door, she jumped into the unlocked Bentley and grabbed the spare key form the driver visor. Quickly starting the car, Aaron sped off to find her lover.
Beelzebub smirked from her chair. "So, she fell head over heels with you and now you have to break her little heart. With that the plan will be complete. Crowley will be a mess dealing with his poor little daughter." Beelzebub laugh echoed though the room, Hastur just stood there. His thoughts running about the idea of breaking Aaron's heart. For some reason his chest hurt at the thought of her being in pain.
Beelzebub took notice to her subordinate's change in attitude. Smirking she walked up to Hastur and grabbed his arm, proceeding to twist it. Pain splashed across the Duke's face as he could here his body's bone break.
"You are not falling in love with her, are you?" Hastur said nothing causing Beelzebub to laugh, letting go of his arm. "Aww, it's like beauty and the beast. You really think that a half angel like her would ever fall in love with a demon." Beelzebub smirked, grabbing Hastur by his tie, she pulled him down. "She could never love you. Deep in your heart you knew that." She whispered into his ear before letting him go.
Just then the sound of heels clicking on the floor could be heard. Beelzebub smirked as she walked away "Show time Maggot boy" She called back.
Aaron ran into the small office like room. "Hastur!" She called as she ran up to him. As she reached out to hug him, Hastur held up his hands, pushing her away. Aaron looked at him, her face showed a mixture of pain and hurt.
"Hastur, what happened?" She asked as she tried again to take his hand. Hastur only smacked her hand away. Letting out a hoarse laugh he looked at her.
"You think that I could ever love you? Angels really are the most gullible creatures ever." Hastur said. Behind him from the shadows, Beelzebub watched the once happy couple.
"What?" Aaron asked, more tears started to form in her vision.
"How much clearer do I need to be? I never loved you. Never have and never will"
Taking a step back, Aaron started to stumble as if the floor around her had dropped away. Her world started to crumble around her as she looked at the man that had brought down her walls and had brought her out of her shell. Nausea formed in her stomach as she raised her hand. Her fist made contact with Hastur's check sending his head to the side.
Hastur did not even look at her. Aaron's face turned into a mix of anger as she ran out of the office like room and out of hell.
