It was night in Hell and Cody was watching some Star Wars on the TV while in his new pajamas with patterns of fire made of cotton on them. Blitzo was already in bed because he was drinking more whiskey than he bargained for... again. Him drinking alcohol till he passed out was a common thing for him to do at home when he is not working at the moment (along with prying into his colleagues' personal private times.)
That eccentric imp was really something with his weird, unusual behavior. Nevertheless, he was too inebriated to be prying into his friends' lives once again, whom everyone was so happy to hear. Loona was in a tank top and black pajama pants while brushing her long hair and detangling it.
Not only did she brush her hair, but she also did the same with her long black and white tail since it was large enough to be brushed. Although Loona would rarely use her tail for situations, she didn't realize that it can come in handle for many things and tasks if she couldn't use her arms or legs to get the job done. It was after she was done taking a nice shower and she yawned herself. Noticing that poor Cody was yawning a little himself, she smiled and went up to him. "Need to go to bed, kiddo?"
"No, I wanna stay and watch Star Wars." Cody said before looking back at the TV. Despite trying to focus, he was far too tired to keep looking and passed out on the sofa, snoring softly.
Loona thought he looked absolutely cute and adorable, and she said: "Oh, fuck that is just so cute." However, not wanting to expose that to her own adopted father, the hellhound glanced left and right to see if she was alone with him. Boy, was she so relieved that it was, indeed, just her and Cody. "Well, I better get him in bed." she said before gently picking him up. She was about to put the human on his new bed, but she began brainstorming if whether Cody would feel better in his bed or be sleeping with her tonight (in a non-sexual way of course). Ultimately, she decided to have Cody sleep next to her in her own bed so that he would be more comfortable and happy.
Placing him on her mattress, Loona bent down, and gently kissed him on the forehead before laying down and turning off her light, getting herself comfortable under the covers. Before she can even go to sleep, Loona heard her phone vibrate, and she got so irritated. She felt like growling out of rage, but she remember the human boy sleeping peacefully.
She sighed in defeat and picked it up while going to the living room. "Hello? Who the fuck is this?" she asked
"Loona?" said a male voice. "Is that you?"
"Oh! Tex! Hey." the female hellhound laughed nervously while blushing. While he already had a girlfriend, Loona was still quite infatuated with him (though no one would blame her for doing so). "Not that i'm not happy to talk to you, but what's up?"
"Well, I was wondering if you would like to come to this insane hellhound party at my place tonight. Tons of heavy metal music and mosh pits."
Loona gasped with excitement, and she was about to say yes, but she suddenly remembered Cody sleeping in her bed, and she didn't want to leave that sweet little boy alone. She did save him from a fire, and didn't want to betray his trust. Loona was probably the only person down here in hell that Cody trusts completely. Normally, she would go off to the parties and get herself so hammered that she would barely keep her balance, but this time; it was very different.
"Loona? You there?"
"Oh yeah! I'm here. S... Sorry Tex." she sighed sadly. "I would love to come, but i'm watching over a kid in my place."
"Oh... I understand. I didn't know you were a babysitter."
"No! No, of course not." Loona clarified. "But... The kid is a human that I saved in a fire that his own parents died in the living world." Loona had her eyes closed. "He doesn't have anyone else here to help him."
"What?" Tex sounded shocked. "I... I'm sorry to hear that Loona. I understand. This is a very nice thing that you're doing. Is he doing OK?"
"Oh yeah. He's just sleeping here at my place, and he likes my friends a good deal. Well... stepdad and coworkers I mean."
"Good."
"His name's Cody and he is such a cute kid. I mean, what would not to like about that little guy?"
"Well, should I meet him?"
"Totally! Oh, although he might not, because he might view you as terrifying."
"Yeah, I get that." Vortex growled a little bit. "I wish that most people would realize that: I almost always bark and no bite. Look at me, I'm a nice guy."
"I believe you completely, Tex."
"I know, Loona. But hey, the least I can do is do something nice for him."
"Yeah, just probably needs to warm up to you."
"And the kid should know that I am a bodyguard for Verosika Mayday, and I just need to look as tough as possible so those fellatio-crazed fanboys don't try to rape her."
"Loona suddenly had a thought. "Speaking of Verosika," she said "can you not have her see Cody. Last thing I want is for that stupid bitch to scare and belittle him. Otherwise, I would rip her throat out."
"Oh, Verosika won't hurt him. Besides, I'm thinking about quitting being her bodyguard anyway. She doesn't pay me enough to do my job anyway. I believe I should get the appropriate amour of money that she gives me annually."
"Preach." Loona concurred. "Look I would love to talk to you some more, but I gotta hit the bed."
"OK Loona. Goodnight. Let me know when you want Cody to meet me tomorrow and I can be his new friend." Vortex kindly offered.
"You're the best Tex." Loona said. "Bye." she went back to bed and slept next to Cody and even wrapped her tail around his body so that he would be extra toasty and warm.
