Hello everyone! It's that time again! A new update is finally here!
I'm sorry if all my chapter updates have been so chaotic. Between work, this new project commission that I have been given, and just lack of motivation/writer's block, I'm doing my absolutely best to make sure that all my stories get updated! I do have permission from BabiiBun to reference her story, so there will be mentions of events from The Moth and His Fawn in here!
So I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
Cherri learns more about Pentious and Arackniss' relationship then she expected. Pentious learns something new while caring for his partner.
Chapter 22: Baby, It's a Bombshell (Part Two)
"Hey bitches, I'm here! What the fuck happened to the wall?"
Yep. Cherri was dead. She was double dead. Her best bitch was going to stuff and mount her on the wall for fucking injuring his brother. Shit! She looked over at where the homeowners were. Pentious was still trying to console Arackniss, who was basically bawling at this point. She didn't know if it was from the shock, the injuries or the combination of both.
Probably both.
When the taller spider entered the room, she forced a weak smile.
"Hey Ang! So um... as I was telling you on the phone your brother... is not doing so hot right now."
He looked over to see the smaller arachnid curled against the cobra's chest, sobbing. Concerned, he went over.
"Hey, Egglord, is he alright?"
"Of course, he's not!" Realizing that he was snapping, he sighed. "No. I apologize for snapping. He came home from another awful encounter with your father, then Cherri had to go blow a hole in our wall... he's injured, in shock, and I have no clue how to console him."
Angel nodded. Recently, they were dealing with something similar back at the hotel involving Vaggie and Niffty. He was learning on how to handle things there. And with his new skills, he figured he could help out. Especially if those injuries were caused by the bastard that was their father.
"Here, let me see."
The older Sinner gently moved his lover so that the other spider could have a better access to survey the damage that was done. He could definitely see how bruised, swollen and hurt that he was. With how swollen certain parts were, some of them might have been broken. Again. Fuck. Fuck Henrion! Fuck him for making Niss be his damn punching bag! Fuck him for his shitty behavior! Just fuck him!
"You should get him to a hospital. It looks like some of his bones might be broken."
Cherri winced at the information. Fuck! Broken bones? Oh shit. She didn't mean for any of that to happen! Wanting to save some face, she stepped up.
"I can... go ahead and take him there if you like?"
Pentious sent a glare at her.
"And have you cause him more injuries? Not in the slightest! Besides, I don't trust you taking any of my cars. You might wreck them."
"Wait... you can actually drive!? You have cars!?"
He rolled his eyes.
"Of course I have vehicles! I have been down here for over a hundred years. I'm not ignorant to the technological advances that have been made since I have arrived in 1888."
Okay that... made some sense. It probably explained how he was able to afford all this nice fancy shit. As well as the materials needed for his weird machines and weapons. She blinked when the younger of the spider siblings took hold of the older.
"Fuck, if you two are going to bitch at each other, then I'll fucking take him. I have experience with this shit. You got a specific set of keys that I'm allowed to take, egglord?"
The two stopped their banter as they looked at him. The serpent nodded, motioning him to follow him.
"Yes, the garage is this way. I have an Acura TLX with a padded booster seat installed for such situations involving when Nissy or the Egg Bois have resulted in injuries. It'll keep him secured and stable until you arrive at the hospital."
"Great."
The cyclops watched as the three walked off. She looked back at the damage. Shit. This was going to be fucking fun. Honestly, she really didn't want to do it. She was in the old man's house! This was a prime time for her to do some exploring! Then a light bulb moment came to her. The Eggs! She can have them working on fixing the wall!
She looked around to try find some of them were still in the area. They were. Great! Now to pawn the work onto them.
"Okay eggheads. The Old Man told me, us, that we needed to fix the wall."
The small creatures looked between each other. Several frowned, not trusting her.
"Why should we trust you?" One of the Egg Bois, #14, spoke up.
"Yea!" Another, #37, piped up. "You're the enemy! Why should we help you?"
The punk-rock cyclops glared at them. Oh these little fuckers-
"Because I'm trying to fix a mistake for your boss and Arackniss. And I don't know where all his materials for the house building is."
They looked at each other, not fully trusting her. But if Boss Man insisted (as they heard him exclaim), then they couldn't really complain. Reluctantly, the went to get the materials needed for fixing the wall. Three of them went over to survey the damage. She went over to see what was needed. She didn't know much about construction when it came to houses. Not really her type of thing.
But she knew the basics. Insulation, drywall, the actual wall.
...why couldn't they just call a construction company? Sure they would take forever, and cost a shit ton of money, but it was Edgelord's house. Not hers. So basically that money would be coming out of his bank account. She just needed to find his credit card.
Deciding to do that, she went exploring. It shouldn't be that hard to locate his room. Right?
Nope. Wrong. Dead wrong. She had gone through three hallways, and no master bedroom! How fucking big was this place? She went through like... 10 rooms already! And no master bedroom! If anything, it was all bedrooms for the eggs or a bunch of closets. How many fucking closets does this guy need? Now she was in the fourth hallway of that day. Still on the ground floor. Third door standing in front of her.
If this wasn't the Master Bedroom. She was going to fucking scream.
"This better be your room Old Man. I know you have a bedroom around here somewhere."
She knew that he was probably frantically looking around for her. In a vain hope to prevent her from finding some juicy stuff. And she wasn't!
Okay, maybe she was, but she couldn't past this opportunity! With a determined look, she turned the doorknob, throwing the door open.
It wasn't the Master Bedroom. But it wasn't the bedrooms for the eggs either.
Or a bathroom.
Or a closet.
What the fuck?
Stepping in she looked around. It was a... nursery? Playroom? A kid's bedroom? Whatever it was called, it was obviously designed for a child. What child? As Sinners, they couldn't have children. Were they planning on adopting a kid? How long have they fucking been together to be comfortable enough to wanting to adopt a kid?
Curious, she started looking to see what was in it.
An elephant shaped bed, the walls decorated with circus elephants, the rug a soft blue with a certain section covered with those foam playmats, one of those new play tables, and a large toy chest in the corner. There was no changing table. So... were they wanting to adopt a slightly older child?
Or was this for the Egg Bois?
Shit. This was so fucking weird. She wasn't expecting to find this. She was about to leave when something caught her eye. ...a plush elephant sitting at a table with a coloring book open at the play table. Curious, she went over to it. The plush was nothing special. Baby blue with a gray ribbon. Her eye then glanced over to the coloring book. She picked up.
It was a picture of a snake.
Colored in to look like Egglord.
Okay. That was kind of sweet. There was even crudely drawn and colored hearts surround it. Okay, now that entering tooth-rotting stuff.
"What the devil are you doing in here!?"
She jumped, the book dropping from her hands.
"Fuck! Couldn't you have at least knocked or give some kinda warning?"
The Victorian Sinner's eyes narrowed at her. As well as did the eye of the hat he was wearing.
"You are in a private room that you have no business in being in!"
"Then maybe you should've had it locked, Old Man."
He let out an angry his, looking ready to strangle her. This was violation of privacy! Oh his privacy! Of Nissy's privacy! No one but him or the Egg Bois had access to this room! And only when Arackniss was in here! This was to be a safe place for him! And now it was tainted! Tainted by this brass, rude and inconsiderate woman!
"It didn't needed to be lock because YOU WEREN'T INVITED HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!"
She blinked. Okay she... couldn't really argue with that. It wasn't like they both knew that she was coming over. But still! He didn't have to get his tail in a fucking twist!
"Yea, yea. So what's with this shit? You and Niss planning adopting a kid? Or is this for the eggs?"
"Oh well you see-" He started starting with the same cocky attitude, only to flip into disdain. "It's none of your god damn business!"
She rolled her eye. This arrogant son of a bitch.
"Uh, it totally is! If you and Angie's brother are going to adopt a kid, I want to make sure that I don't fuck up the baby's daddy! Or well one of its daddies. I have some standards you know."
"I highly doubt that."
Her eye narrowed at him. Oh this old ass fucker-
"Fine, don't tell me. I'll drop in at random times to try and catch a glimpse of this kiddo for whenever you two bring the tot home."
This caused the snake's hood to flare up in alarm. Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no! He couldn't allow that to happen! Nissy would be horrified if someone else found out about this! He was adamant that no one else was to be told about this! It was one thing that Angel Dust knew. And Monty finding out was purely accident! But he was NOT going to shatter the trust that his precious spider had place on him!
But... what if Cherri comes in at a very inappropriate time? What is she put this all over social media?
What if it got back to Henroin!?
Oh gracious! He was really between a rock and a hard place, wasn't he?
"You will do no-"
Before he could say anything else. He felt a tug on his jacket. He looked down to see one of his Egg Bois. One of the many eyes on his tail caught the number on it's back. #29. He let out an irritated hiss.
"What? What is it #29?"
The Egg Boi looked up at him. Earlier he and several of his brothers were trying to figure out how to fix the wall. As they were doing that, they soon came to realize that Cherri Bomb was missing. And they all knew that Mr. Bossman would not be happy that she went and caused trouble in their home! So several of them split up to try and find her. As well as locate the serpent.
"Cherri Bomb is loose in the house."
Pentious rubbed his face in irritation.
"I know. How the devil did you think I found her? She's right-"
"Hey you can't be in there! That's Nissy's room!"
Oh shit. He felt his blood run cold. Well... he was already cold blooded, but colder now. He looked down at #29 in rage and shock. How could he be so oblivious!?
...oh wait. Duh. The Egg Bois weren't the brightest creatures to being created. The cyclops gave them a confused look.
"Nissy's room? What the fuck?"
Why the hell would Arackniss have such a childish room? Okay granted, the guy was like a foot taller than the eggs, but still! There should be no reason why he has all this kiddy stuff! He's a grown man! And from what she heard from Angie, this wasn't anything he would be into. She knew that Hell was full of some big fucking weirdos. But this was taking the cake for her. So just... why? Why have all this junk?
The snake gave an exasperated sigh. Placing a hand on his forehead.
"He didn't want anyone else to find out..." He gave a sharp glare at the Egg Boi. "I'll deal with you later."
Cherri looked at them in confusion. What the fuck was going on? The older demon rubbed his forehead in annoyance. He turned motioning for her to follow him.
"Come along. It looks like I need to spill the tea, unfortunately."
The trip to the hospital fucking sucked. While Angel was glad that Niss' small size gave them a somewhat pass with the other residents. Thinking that he was a child in immense pain. He had several fractured bones.
Fuck Henroin.
Niss still hadn't stopped bawling. He didn't know if this was from the PTSD that he was suffering from, the pain of the injuries or both.
He was really hoping it was both.
Then there was that other option that he had a good suspicion of.
His brother was a Little.
How did he know? Because he was learning that Vaggie and Niffty were as well back at the hotel. And even Alastor was acting really strange as well. But he wasn't going to question the stag on that. Charlie said she would handle him, and he trusted her on that. Right now, his focus was on his brother. And he was unsure how to bring it up to him when he was in a possible regressive state. So the best he could do was try keep the atmosphere positive for him until they got back home.
But the drive back was beginning to be really uncomfortable. ...This was not how he expected his day to go. Especially when Cherri-
Oh shit. Cherri! He forgot that his best bitch was there to see Pent and Niss for a couple of laughs between them. Shit! He cast a glance back at Niss in the back seat. With how small and thin he was, the carseat kept him from getting further injured. Which, as funny as it was any other time, right now, he was glad that it was there.
His brother's sobs had quieted it down, but the tears were still flowing.
Fuck.
Hopefully Pentious had something to help cheer him up. Because he didn't know what the fuck to do. As the drive the continued, he was glad to see them arriving at the creepy mansion that his brother now called his home.
...Only for some dick head to swerve out in front of them! Angel gave a startled cry, quickly moving the car to avoid getting hit. Once they were save, he drove up next to them, honking the horn and raising three out of his four hands to flip off the other driver.
"I'm driving here, you asshole!"
"Go fuck yourself, you whore!"
The pastel spider growled, grumbling under his breath. He glanced back to hear his older brother's wails starting again. Goddammit!
"Hey, hey, hey, it's alright Niss. We're okay. There's no reason to be upset. Look! We're almost back!"
But the cries didn't stop. Instead, it only increased. The taller sibling deflated. Fuck. At least they were almost ther-
Wait.
What was the smell-
Oh shit.
He glanced back to see the darken spot that was surrounding his brother's crotch.
Fuck! No wonder he had started crying again! Shit! He sped up so that they could get there faster. He prayed to Lucifer that the snake had some diapers on him!
"Holy shit." Cherri muttered.
Out of everything she was expecting today. This... this wasn't it. Like fuck. She didn't even know this type of shit existed! The fact that they were doing... Age-play was it? Fuck. She knew a lot of people were into some kinky shit, but this was taking cake! She gave him a crooked smile, trying to joke to ease the tense air between them.
"I know a lot of people like the daddy-kink, but this is step further. Didn't take you to be that freaky, egglord."
The cobra's hood flared out, a blush spreading across his skin.
"It is NOT like that! We are only doing this for his mental health!"
"Uh huh, suuuuure you are."
He glared at her.
"You foul minded wr-"
"PENTIOUS!"
The two jumped at the unexpected call of the cobra sinner's name. That was Angel Dust's voice. They ran out of the room to meet the spider in the middle. As they did, they stopped to see him holding the smaller one out. A noticeable sized wet spot on his pants.
"He... uh... had a little accident on the way home from the hospital. A car almost hit us and it kinda startled him. And with his casts..."
The snake gave a small gasp, quickly taking the little spider into his arm. He gently started rubbing his back.
"It's okay, Nissy, it's alright. We're going to get you cleaned up."
The Porn star rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"There's uh... something else I needed ta speak ta ya about but... tend to him first."
He nodded, slithering off to care for his upset partner. Cherri turned to look at the man that was her best friend.
"Angie, what the fuck?"
He gave an uneasy chuckle.
"Sorry babe. Didn't... really expect how this would turn out today. But hey, it's Hell. You know how it is."
"No I mean-" Fuck. "Did you know about this baby shit that they're doing?"
His eyes widen at her.
"He told you?"
"Uh, yea? Didn't really have a choice since one of the eggs spilled."
"Shit. Okay well uh... Egglord came to me after trying to find something to help Niss with his trauma that dickhead that our pops is. He went down the rabbit hole that is the internet and brought this up to me. Gave him the best insight that I could. I do think that it'll help my brother. He's been Pop's main punching bag for years. And he's still loyal as fuck to the guy. I'm hoping that with this shit, he'll one day gather the courage to leave the asshole behind."
She nodded. Okay, this was... weird. But if Angie felt like Arackniss might need this, then she couldn't fault him.
Just fucking sucked that Niss was dating Eggface. But there was nothing that she could do about that. He saw something in him that brought him happiness. Weird, but good for them.
Pentious sighed as he cleaned up his boyfriend. Dressing him in a diaper and one of his shirts. It was the best he can do at the moment with all of his injuries. And there was no way that he was going to allow him to walk on his own with how swelled up his legs were. There were no casts on them, so most likely they were just twisted from Henroin kicking/throwing, whatever he had done to him. Some ice and elevation should help bring the swelling down.
It still hurt him knowing that his precious love felt like he had to stay in the job for his awful father. Only to be tormented by that horrid man.
He placed a reassuring kiss on his forehead. Holding him close to his chest as he carried him back to the living room. He was glad to see that he had calmed down after getting cleaned up and from the pain pills that he had help him take.
"Would you like a sippy cup of warm milk, darling? I can sit you on the couch and you and Mr. Peanut can watch Dumbo, would that be nice?"
A small nod into his chest.
"Okay darling." He frowned softly, knowing that he'd have to tell him the news that Cherri knows. ...now would be a better time then later. "Darling... I... I know you've been through a lot to day. And I'm terribly sorry to have to tell you this. But... Cherri Bomb ended up finding out about our... coping measure for you via one of the Egg Bois."
He could instantly hear the panic breathing returning. He gently shushed him, running his hand through his hair.
"It's okay Nissy, it's alright. I already told her that is she dared post this on the social media or blabbed this to anyone I would eradicate her. And I have plans to discipline the Egg that foolishly exposed the information to her. Okay?"
The panicked breathing diminished, but not much. But at least he was a bit calmer now.
"Now, let's get you and Mr. Peanut all comfy on the couch, and I'll be speaking with your brother."
Once in the living room, he sat the little spider on the couch, having the Egg Bois help place as many soft pillows as possible and blankets around him and Mr. Peanut. Once he was sure his little spider was thoroughly distracted with the movie, with a sippy cup of warm milk in his hands, he went to see what his lover's brother wanted from him.
After a brief stop to ensure that his wall was being fixed (he'd be damned if he allowed a potential entry point for thieves, murders and other vile people that thrived in Hell to enter), he met up with his two rivals.
"Alright, you wish to speak with me, I am all ears. So to speak."
"I think he's a Little." Angel explained. "There's some... people that I know who are as well, and they're exhibiting the same mannerisms that Niss is displaying."
Cherri raised a brow at him. Little? The fuck was a "Little?"
Seeing their confused looks, he continued.
"A Little is an adult that tends to regress to a very young mindset. Normally an infant to a toddler role. Typically ranges from like a one-and-a-half-year-old to about four years old. From what I'm getting."
Sir Pentious was surprised to say the least. A Little? Looks like he needed to do more research for his darling spider! But since he had a... somewhat expert in his presence, then he might as well take the opportunity to get what little information that he had.
"So what else do I need to do for him? We've discussed rules and boundaries, I set up a playroom for him, I've even got a some clothes for him to help him relax! What else am I needing to do!?"
The spider blinked. Okay well... he didn't know that he was doing all that shit. Well fuck. Guy was actually doing shit right.
"Uh... from out it sounds like... you don't need to do anymore shit. Sounds like ya got it all under control. Just... keep doing what you're doing?"
The serpent relaxed that he was doing right for his partner. He loves Arackniss so much. He only wanted what was best for him! Relieved, he gave a tired nod. It had been quite an exhausting day for all of them.
"Right. Okay. If... you both don't mind... I would appreciate if you both leave. Arackniss is obviously not in the position for guests at the moment. Oh. And I still need to have my wall fix." He pointed at Cherri. "I am holding you for compensation, Miss Bomb."
She was going to argue, but she caught her best friend giving her a look. Fuck. She'd tell the old bastard to suck it up and deal with it, but she couldn't. Because this wasn't just the Old Man's home. It was Arackniss' too. She huffed.
"Alright fine. Just... send me the bill and I'll pay you back."
The serpent smiled. Well! That was certainly easier than he thought!
"Marvelous! Now if you excuse me. I have a partner to take care of."
Angel led her out. The cyclops couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She didn't mean for her best friend's brother to get hurt. This wasn't how the day was supposed to go. Paying for the wall was probably the least she could do. And learning about Niss' and Egglord's ...weird relationship was something. This was a bombshell that she wasn't expecting. This wasn't the first impression she wanted for meeting Angie's brother. And she hoped that she didn't blow it.
She needed to make things right. And she was going to show Niss and Angie that they could trust her.
Oh boy! Cherri sure did mess up didn't she? But thankfully Angel was there to help smooth everything over and help out! Cherri plans on keeping this secret! For the sake of her bestie not hating her!
More angst and cute Little Nissy moments will be coming in the next chapter! I have a lot on my plate and I promise to get everything out as quick as I can!
With that said, thanks for reading and I'll see you all in the next chapter!
