"H-hellooo?"
"Get up! We are going to be late! I have been trying to get ahold of you for an hour now Anthony!"
"Uhhg ok DAD! You on your way?"
"Ya. Will be there in 10 minuets."
Hanging up the phone and stretching the white furred spider demon would make sure all his limbs would pop. Letting out a slightly frustrated sigh as he let his arms flop down aimlessly onto the bed. Looking down he saw his little pig pet already awake and happy to see him awake along with him. Smirking he used two arms to sit up. The other two picking up the little demon pig.
"Good mornin to you too Fat Nuggets. Daddy has to go. Stay safe. And away from Alastor." He nuzzled him against the soft fur of his cheek. Setting him down on the bed. Angel got up and heads over to his small closet. Swinging open the doors to reveal a closet packed to the brim with every slutty outfit you could think of. From full on uniforms such as a nurse's outfit. To the more casual but still revealing clothing like skimpy dresses or shorts and tank tops.
Reaching in he would tap his index finger on his chin. As his other hands went wild in the clothes. Pushing, pulling, and spinning pairs and sets of clothes. After a few minutes of rummaging through. He decided to pick out a clean white and pink stripped suit that fit his form rather tight. Along with some long black dress pants. He was going to see family. So, he didn't want to be flashing himself off to his own family now. That would be weird! Placing them on the bed he would reach over to his bedside dresser and pull out some black thigh high socks. Slipping those on first before getting the outfit fully on. Taking his time to make sure he looked sexy but also professional. Getting on knee high boots to finish it all off. He pulled the last velcro strap across and would sigh in content. Looking at himself in the mirror to show off his final look
Now fully dressed he got up and reached back under his pillow. Pulling out an all-black Colt 45. Making sure it was loaded he saw the shiny golden brass at the top. The bullet itself had a nice shiny silver color. Angel made a mental note to ask his brother why he needed these rounds. Slapping the mag back into the pistol he would put it into his inner pocket of his suit. Glad he gotten that add on. His chest fur hid the fact he had a gun on him as well as being fully concealed. Now that he was armed for the day. He moved towards his door. Walking out into the red and gold carpet that every floor of the hotel had to decorate it. Closing the door, he looked right and left to see no one was in the hallway. Normal so far, but in hell anything can happen.
Moving down the hall to the elevator he would step in and push Ground Floor. Which the elevator responded and closed the doors with a soft mechanical growling sound. The elevator would slowly start to head down as Angel always hated how slow it was. It was like the elevator was doing it on purpose. After a few minutes the doors opened up with the same mechanical growl as he stepped into the lobby. Seeing Husker at the bar along with the Radio Demon. AKA Alastor.
"Good Morning Angel!" Alastor would exclaim as he would spin his microphone cane. Angel would smile showing off his one gold sharp tooth.
"Mornin Al. I will be going out here soon. For business that is. Family matters." Angel says and heads for the bar. Getting on one of the tools as he winked to Husker.
"Don't even think about it screwbag." Husker says in an irritated tone. The tone that everyone was now getting use too.
"Aww come on Husky. Don't wanna complement me on how I look?" Angel would fluff up his chest fur some more and Husk just scoffed.
"Yeah, if I wanted to say that I would be lying. Now you want a drink or you going to leave me alone?" Husker would shoot back. Seeming to not be in a talkative mood today. Angel would shrug and turn around to face Alastor. Who seemed to just be watching the twos exchange.
"What are your plans Smiles?" Alastor would roll his eyes at the nickname Angel had given him. Walking forward he would sit down at the bar with Angel.
"Sit here and talk to Husker of course. Then! Go out on the town! And maybe find myself a job! Being an Overlord is so boring now. And the entertainment I wanted from this place is slow! So might as well go to some bar and watch some live performances!" Angel would chuckle softly to himself. Hearing how Alastor was getting bored from being too powerful. His phone buzzed in his pocket once. Signaling someone had texted him. Looking down at his phone after getting it out of his suit. Seeing his brother was telling him he was outside.
"Have fun with that Al. See you sweeties around." He would move out the large front doors of the hotel. His brother was leaning on his driver side door. Having a cigarette slowly burning away.
"Come on Anthony. Let's not be late." He says and tossed the cigarette onto the hard stone sidewalk. Angel moved around and got in the passenger side door. His brother joining him as he would put the car into drive. Heading off down the street.
"Hey Nissy. Why did you get me those weird bullets?" Angel asked as the much smaller black colored spider looked towards him.
"Huh? Oh, you mean Erasers? I got you those because they are better than those bullets you can summon. The ones you summon do nothing but make those demons and sinners be gone for like a day or two." Angel would roll his eyes as he held out one of his hands. And bullets began to fall onto his palm and to the ground. As if to try and make a point. "Yeah those don't work."
"What's the difference?" Angel asked and tossed the bullets out the window. The rounds skipping off the ground and the road.
"The difference is how long they stay gone. If you got "Killed" by one of those loaded in your Colt. You could be gone for decades. Which means you are worthless. Think about it. If an Overlord was gone for 50 to 80 years. It would be way different when they came back. Same with anyone." Angel would look down at his chest fluff. Looking to the gun that was in his suit. Realizing how dangerous those rounds are.
"Woh..We have only been down here for like...70 years or something. That would be as long as we been down here! How did you get these?" He would ask and lean back in the leather seat. Looking out the window as Pentagram City would pass them. The large buildings and crimson red sky that he had called home since his passing rushed on by them.
"Yeah exactly. Don't ask me how they are made. All I know is that there are a lot of them. From what I hear they are from Exterminator weapons. But that's just rumor. And they should be standard issue for you and me. So just come to me if you need more." He would have to stop at a red-light. Even in hell there are rules. Tho the police force down here was more persuasive. Always seeming to look away. Unless they wanted to fuck with you.
"Sooo, you tell dad yet about the hit on me?" Angel asked. The car softly humming as they waited for the light to turn green.
"We took care of it. And yeah, I did."
"What a fuckin loser. But we did get a good bag of cash." The light turned on. The soft hum of the engine could be heard as they headed for their family meeting.
"Yeah after we had to run and shoot a counter sniper. Dad was rather upset. Heard he sent a hit out on the group involved." His brother would say as he turned into a parking lot. They had arrived at one of Hell's upper-class restaurants. The two brothers got out and would head for the front doors. The door man opening the door for the two.
"Angel and Arackniss." They would look to see Molly their sister come up and hug the two.
"Hey Mollie. You hanging in there?" Arackniss asked as she would quickly nod.
"Yes doin fine! Oh, come on dad and mom are at the table already. Along with a few of our cousins." Molly would motion for the two to follow. Heading into the dining area as Angel would breath in and out. Trying to mentally prepare himself.
"I hate dinners with dad. Mom ain't so bad." Angel said as Arackniss nodded in agreement.
"Just refrain from any sexual comments or actions. You know how he thinks of you. He is just doing this for the family."
The dining area of the building was decorated in a black voided rug. The rug having gold patterns and designs that went all along. Making it look like it sparkled compared to the black background. The tables where red clothed with black roses in a glass vase in the middle. Large golden chandeliers lit up the area along with soft candles on the tables. The entire area was empty besides the party sized table that held the family members of Angel and Arackniss. Mollie would lead them in as they took their seats closer to the front. Where their father and mother sat.
"Hey Angel, Arackniss. Glad you could join us." Their mother said as the two sat down. Angel getting the menu and opening it up. Arackniss already knowing what he wanted.
"Hey there mom. Hey dad." Their dad who was a much larger spider demon would grumble as he looked over the menu. Nodding towards the two as to say he knew they are there.
"Angel how you been? It's been a few since we last spoke." Angel looked to see his cousin Vinny was talking. His grey fur would show in the light. Wearing a black suit to match.
"Not much Vinny. You been doing well on the East?" Vinny would softly nod. Taking a drag out of his cigar.
"Yeah we been going good. Got a new car. Paid some company called I.M.P to get it." He took another drag as Angel would figure out what he wanted. Folding the menu and setting it down.
"You used them to get a car too huh? What car did you get?" Arackniss would ask as he would light up his own smoke. Wasn't much of a cigar guy.
"1961 Lincoln-Continental. All blacked out of course. White leather inside. Thing rides beautifully. Costed me a pretty dime for it." Vinny would smirk and ash out his cigar in the glass ash tray.
"Yeah so did mine. Worth it tho." Angel would roll his eyes as the two talked about cars. He wasn't a big car guy. Never was when he was alive. And defiantly wasn't now.
"What about you Angel? Find anything to make the eternal rest more peaceful?" Vinny would lean forward as he put his elbows on the table. Seeming to be rather starved as the waiter was coming through and getting everyone's orders. Watching him move from one member to the next.
"Guns I guess. Arackniss here got me a new silencer for my tommy."
"It's called a suppressor. It doesn't make the gun silent."
"Ya ya whatever. Anyways. It's like this big and does it make that puppy quiet. I got in a fight recently. Someone was pushing on us or some bullshit. Guys inside the building had no idea two of their guys got erased." Angel would say and smile. Vinny would chuckle softly as he told his story.
"What did you get him in return?"
"He gave me fucking dish sponges." Arackniss would eye his brother saying this. Smoke coming out his nose and up in the air.
"Dish sponges?"
"To shower with." Vinny looked to Angel who would be trying not to laugh. Eyes a little wide at the randomness of the gift.
"Hey don't knock it till you try it. Trust me Arackniss you will like them."
"That's the problem. They work pretty well on this fur." Arackniss would finish his smoke and ash it out. Their dad would set down his menu as he had finally decided.
"I hate some of their new choices. Least they got my Osso buco alla Milanese." He would look to his two sons. His eight eyes looking them over. "You two came well dressed. Thank you."
"Of course dad. We can't embarrass the family." Arackniss would say as Angel nodded in agreement. With that their dad would go quite again.
Their dad Henroin was a ruthless cold-blooded Overlord. He was known to have a short temper. Resulting in everyone including his wife to step carefully. He was hard on his two sons. Arackniss and Angel. He hated how Angel was in the living world. And now in Hell he wasn't too happy with his choice of an afterlife. Arackniss, he had a hard relationship with him. He was the oldest of his three kids. And seemed to be the most into keeping the family running. But he protected the other two. More than Henroin would like. Henroin would clear his throat and he would lean forward. The entire table of dead relatives would stop talking. Turning to pay attention as Henroin would begin to speak.
"Let's get down to business. Vinny how is the East going?" Vinny would sit up straighter than he already was.
"Going good. We still have the plants under our control. Vox isn't being too pushy on product. As both him and us here are making plenty of money. We had a small attack from some small gang that was forming. But we took care of that real quick." Henroin would nod slowly. His eyes dark and he looked like he could never sleep. Bags under each eye as he stared at the faces of his family.
"Alright. Don what about you? How are the docks?" Don was a red spider who had a black suit on to contrast his natural color. Having a hard jersey accent.
"Goin well as it can be. Getting shipments daily. The Imps down there do their job. No incidents to report." He would tap his cigarette into the glass ash tray. The half burned cigarette would be between two of his fingers. Slowly sending smoke up in the air.
"Arackniss and Angel how is the strip?" Arackniss would do a soft shrug. Letting his brother talk more on it.
"Nothing crazy to report. After that hit out on Angel you took care of it. Nothing has happened since then." Henroin would nod as he looked to Angel. Their eyes meeting as Angel would try and stand his ground in the small stand off they had.
"What about you Angel?" Angel would try and not make eye contact to much now. Loosing to his father's much more intimidating demeanor. He began to talk as he would play with his hands a little.
"I meet the Radio Demon. He is helping out the hotel that the princess of hell is tryin to do. The place I'm staying at." Henroin would raise a brow to that. The Radio Demon huh? He hasn't heard him in a long time. That was an afterthought as he focused on Angel saying he was staying at the Hazbin Hotel.
"You are staying at the Hazbin Hotel? Do you really believe that redemption shit?" Henroin would let out a soft chuckle. A few other members doing the same.
"N-Not really no. They are giving me a free room if I play along. But since Alastor came it's been more relaxed." The soft chuckling would stop. Angel and his dad looking at one another for a short period of silence.
"Seems like you got it made a bit. Just don't fuck it up. Even if fucking is your specialty." Angel would stiffen up and stifle a harsh comeback. Instead, he would look away. Simply saying yes dad. His dad shooting back a grin that was filled with hate. Tempting Angel to say something. After another brief silence he would look back down the table to the rest of the family.
"Seems business is doing fine. Keep it up. Everyone knows what they need to do." Just then the food began to come out as he leaned back in his seat. "Now let's eat."
"Fuck him. Fucking is your specialty. Fucking asshole." Angel would mutter angrily under his breath. Arackniss and him walking out towards his car. Angel already lighting up a smoke as he complained.
"Keep your head up. You didn't say anything. And I could tell you wanted too. Just be glad the meeting is over. He rarely has them. So you can count on not having to show up to one in the near future." Unlocking the car the two got in as the engine roared to life. Pulling out of the parking lot the two headed off towards the hotel.
"It's just so fucking irritatin Nissy. We are in fucking Hell! Can't he just drop it. I'm gay so what? I'm a porn star. At least I got a way of making money!" Angel would roll down the window to blow the smoke out. As if on que it began to ran. The soft sound of the rain started to sooth him over some.
"You are in Hell. That is why he doesn't drop it. You are in here with him. He wasn't the best when we all were alive. He is the same here. Just even more powerful." Arackniss would try to calm his younger brother down. He knew dad got under his skin.
"Just fuck him." Arackniss would simply nod as he stopped the car at another light.
"Hey...thanks for not calling me Nissy there. Dad hates the nickname you gave me. Hates it even more that I let you say it."
"No problem. We didn't want to end up beaten again." Angel finished his smoke and tossed the bud out the window before rolling it back up. The two would remain silent for the rest of the trip. Arackniss pulling up to the hotel. Angel getting out and walking over to the driver side window.
"Thanks for the ride." Arackniss would toss his smoke out the window. Having smoked two on the way here.
"Just stay safe. And if that fucker Val touched you again like he did. Not sure when I will see ya again. Going to be doing a lot of work. But you tell me got it?" Nodding Arackniss would roll the window up and drive off. Angel turning to enter the hotel. Pushing the doors open and into the lobby. Seeing Husker alone behind the bar. Tapping his claws on the bar top. Looking bored out of his mind.
"You are back rather early tonight. What no takers?" Husker said as he smirked. Sitting up from the bar. His wings would do a soft flutter to stretch themselves.
"Fuck off Husk." Angel said as he was still upset about the little comment his dad had made at dinner. Taken back some from Angel. Husk would see he wasn't in his usual hyper sexual attitude self.
"Alright bad timing. Need a drink?" Angel would sit down at the bar and just give him a soft nod.
"Something strong. Really strong." Husker would hear him say as he moved and got a ready to make a Long Island Ice Tea. Finding everything he was needing quickly. He might be a drunk. But he knew his shit at a bar. Getting gin, vodka, tequila, rum, and triple sec. Pouring it in a mixer and added some cola to top it off. He went and got an ice tea glass, Filed it up with one scoop of ice. And poured the drink for Angel. Pushing it forward for him. Angel would smile some and take it and began to sip.
"Long Island huh? Thanks Husker." Grunting in response he goes and lean on the counter.
"Just don't get all sappy on me." The two would remain in silence for a moment. Neither wanting to start a conversation. Husker was a little curious about what was making Angel so down. But he didn't want to push it.
"You want to know why I'm not being myself right now huh?" Husker would sigh softly. Muttering under his breath some.
"Yeah. You usually come in and try to hit on me. And you don't ask for hard drinks unless you been in the shit." Angel sipped his drink some more before setting it aside. Giving Husker a smug grin.
"Oh? Is little Husky all upset Angel isn't giving him his attention?" Husker would rub between his eyes. Eyes closed tight in annoyance.
"No its just signs of hey you aren't well. So talk about it." Angel would pick his drink back up and take a rather large gulp. Moving it aside afterwards. Folding his arms in front of him and leaned forward.
"It's my dad. He just said something that got under my skin. Also when did you start caring about how I feel? Does the kitten got a thing for spiders?" Husker would flip him off in response.
"Don't push it. You are lucky I even care right now." Husker would say a little to harsh. Looking to Angel who was giving him a certain go fuck yourself then look. "But...about your dad. I guess you could just get over it. It sounds like this isn't the first time. No reason to get all heated about it." Husker would try and say. Really trying not to be his off putting fuck off self. Angel downed more of his drink. Feeling the liquor starting to hit him like a train.
"I-It's not what he said. J-Just more of the why. We are in Hell! Why does he have to be on my ass about who I am!" Angel would yell out and then down the rest of his drink. Pushing the glass away. Husker getting it and began to wash it. Knowing full well he was going to have to take Angel to his room. In what seemed like minutes Angel would be now full on plastered. Looking to Husker who had just finished making sure his workplace was clean. His eyes going wide. Arms going out stretched towards the cat demon.
"H-H-Huuuuskkyyy. You are so nice to me." Angel would slur out of his mouth. Leaning forward as he grabbed Husker by his chest fur. Pulling him close. "I need y-you Husky." Husker would quickly slap the hands of Angel to get him off.
"God damnit you really are plastered. That hit you harder than normal." Husker would groan out. Angel was holding his two slapped hands. Whimpering as he would be way out of it at this point. "Come on Angel lets go." Husker would move around the bar. Picking up the drunk flamboyant spider. Angel would wrap his arms and legs around the demon cat.
"Oooo Husky. You caring me to bed? Mmmmm so forward." Going along with it Husker figured it would be a smoother process if he did.
"Yeah I am. Gonna really give you a good pounding." Angel would glee out as he practically crawled and gripped onto him to keep himself from falling off of Husker.
"MMM- hic Mmm that sounds n- hic nice."
The two would get in the elevator. Husker pushing the Third Floor button. It lighting up as the elevator began its slow clamper up. Angel nuzzling and making some hard breathing noises.
"Fur is so soft. Mmmm." Angel would take in Husker's scent. Making Husker push his head away with one of his wings.
The doors would open as Husker began to walk down the hall. Once to Angel's room, Room 333. He would open the door. Angel would be tossed onto the bed. Hitting it with a whimpered huff of air. Angel was damn near passed out already when Husker came over to start tucking him in. Not bothering to get him undressed. Angel would be snoozing some as Husker would see Fat Nuggets looking up at him. Fat Nuggets seemed to do a small nod and hop up to the bed. Getting up to Angel's face and curling up to sleep. Husker turned and headed for the door. Doing a final look back at Angel's sleeping body.
"Night Angel. Keep being you." He softly said and softly closed the door.
Husker made his way back to the lobby. Grabbing a green bottle labeled Cheap Booze. Leaning on the counter once again. Downing the bottle in one long drawn out swig. Once it was empty he would toss it away. Sighing as he leaned his head into one of his hands. Looking towards the doors of the hotel. Waiting for anyone to come in. Thinking heavily on Angel Dust. How his dad was such a bastard. How upset it had gotten Angel. Husker would be lying to himself if he said he didn't feel bad about him. He wondered why he even dealt with his dad here. But he remembered what Angel had said before in the past.
