Thanks to Hell's curse of bitter semi-immortality, it only took Angel's body a few weeks to recover from his eating disorder. A few weeks too soon for Alastor since this meant that Angel would be expecting more than just cuddles from him now. As Alastor prepared for bed, he was nearly startled out of his skin by Angel clearing his throat. Alastor flinched before turning to see Angel standing there in that cursed, red night-gown with a devious smirk upon his countenance.
"Oh, Alastor?" Angel purred with a sing-song voice as he approached the bed.
"Are ya ready to have the night of your life?" Angel then flirtatiously inquired before crawling into Alastor's lap.
"Uh...Well..." Alastor stammered as he and Angel both began to blush at the closeness. He was then shushed by Angel placing his index-claw over his lips.
"You just sit back, relax and let the professional handle the rest..." Angel snickered before preparing to do what he did best.
"Wait! Stop!" Alastor cried out from fear before Angel could even have a chance to remove his pajama bottoms.
"Al', ya promised!" Angel reminded with a slight pout.
"I know, I'm sorry..." Alastor sighed as his ears folded back from shame.
"Just relax and let me do this; I promise you'll enjoy it..." Angel reassured as he reached out to attempt to caress Alastor's cheek. However, he frowned when Alastor flinched away from his touch as if he were a monster.
"Al', just let me do this...Let me do this..." Angel begged, his voice breaking on a sob when Alastor continued to resist his touch. In a huff, Angel then crawled beneath the covers, turning his back to Alastor in the process. Alastor sighed when the spider began to softly sob as he then snuggled up to Angel from behind in an attempt to comfort him. However, Alastor's embrace would not be enough to comfort the spider this time since Alastor just made Angel Dust feel so hideous.
The following morning, after Alastor would head off to his job at the radio station, Angel would meet up with Cherri Bomb for another cup of coffee and a much-needed pep-talk.
"He promised he'd try harder but any time we try anything, he just freaks out! I just don't get what he's so scared of..." Angel began to lament before drowing his sorrows in his caramel, iced coffee.
"Ya know? When spiders mate in the wild, the male will give the female a little nip to calm her down." Cherri then informed Angel with a small smirk.
"Whata ya gettin' at?" Angel questioned as he gave Cherri a look of skepticism.
"I'm sayin' it might help Alastor calm down if ya give him a small shot of your venom." Cherri then suggested before taking a sip of her own coffee as Angel began to ponder over her suggestion. Later that night, Angel would once again attempt to court Alastor, this time whilst wearing a pastel-pink nightgown.
"Angel..." Alastor began to protest when Angel started off by placing a small trail of gentle kisses along his collar-bone.
"Just relax..." Angel reassured with a hint of irritation within his tone. He was fed up with Alastor constantly resisting him so this time, he laced his fangs into the tender skin of Alastor's neck in order to inject him with a small hint of his venom, just enough to force the deer into calming down. Alastor of course cried out in surprise at the stinging sensation of Angel's sharp fangs beginning to pump venom into his jugular as he attempted to struggle only to find that he felt too weak to do so.
"A-Angel...What have you done to me?" Alastor began to panic once Angel's venom had rendered him unable to move.
"Just relax..." Angel shushed him as he gently caressed Alastor's cheek.
"Angel..." Alastor whispered as he attempted to resist Angel's kiss. His panic began to increase, causing his powers to kick in. Although, he was so weak due to Angel's venom, that all his powers could do was turn on the radio.
"Well, is it dark enough? Can you see me? Do you want me? Can you reach me? Or I'm leaving...
You better shut your mouth, hold your breath, kiss me now or catch your death! Oh, I mean this..." Verosika Mayday's voice began to sing from the radio as Angel finally forced Alastor to kiss him.
"Angel, stop...Please...Angel..." Alastor quietly began to beg as Angel slowly began to unbutton his shirt. As Angel took full advantage of his parter's incapacitated-state, Alastor was sent back to a dark memory within his former lifetime.
"I told you to smile..." Alastor could remember his attacker demanding of him as he proceeded to violate him further than he already had. Alastor wanted to scream just as he had done back then but Angel Dust's venom had rendered him barely able to speak. It felt like an eternity until Angel was finally finished with him.
"See? That wasn't so bad, was it?" The last thing Alastor remembered before passing out was Angel Dust's blurred countenance smiling down upon him with a warm expression. That night, Angel would fall asleep upon Alastor's chest, for once feeling satisfied by his partner. When Angel awoke the next morning, he smiled upon realizing that Alastor was still asleep beneath him as he made himself comfortable within his boyfriend's embrace for just a few, more extra moments of cuddling with him.
Angel's smile grew when he felt Alastor's gentle hand upon his head. For once, the spider felt like everything was going to be okay between them. That was until he felt Alastor's grip tighten within his hair.
"Alastor?" Angel began in concern when he felt Alastor yank him off of him by his hair, throwing the spider out of the bed and onto the hard floor in the process.
"Ow! Alastor, what the-?!" Angel began to protest when he was cut off by Alastor's fist making contact with his mouth, knocking out his gold tooth. As Alastor seethed with rage, he could feel his power recirculating within him. However, all anger faded when he heard Angel begin to sob, uncontrollably.
"What have I done?" Alastor asked to no one in particular upon realizing who he had just attacked. Alastor felt his heart sink into the pit of his stomach as he stared down at the love of his afterlife, curled up on the floor and crying hysterically as Fat Nuggets attempted to comfort him.
"Y-You promised you'd never hit me...N-Not you...You're different, you're special..." Angel sobbed, provoking Alastor's ears to fold back as the deer was now on the verge of tears of his own.
"Angel, I'm so sorry, darling..." Alastor began to apologize as he attempted to rush to his sobbing partner's aid.
"Get away from me!" Angel then shrieked as he frantically began to kick at Alastor.
"Angel..." Alastor began when Angel scooped Fat Nuggets up into his four arms and bolted out of the hotel, not caring that he was still naked.
"Angel wait!" Alastor called out after him as he gave chase.
"Angel? Are you okay?!" Charlie then questioned after seeing the state that Angel was in. Angel merely ignored the blonde as he ran past her.
"What happened?" Charlie then stopped Alastor of whom simply looked ashamed by his actions. In the mean time, Angel sprinted as fast as his thin legs could carry him to Stolas' mansion, having memorized the way after enough times of sneaking out to see him. Poor Angel was in hysterics as he frantically began to bang upon the front-door of his second lover.
"Angel? Oh, my stars! What happened?!" Stolas gasped at the sight of Angel's broken and bruised frame alone.
"He hit me...He hit me..." Angel shakily explained in between sobs as Stolas removed his cape and placed it around Angel in order to cover up his naked body. Both Luna and Octavia of whom had been watching a movie in the living-room appeared concerned as their father led the sobbing, injured Angel inside. After Stolas had given Angel one of his robes as well as some hot tea to help calm him down, Angel explained everything that had transpired the night before through his tears whilst Fat Nuggets snuggled up into his lap in order to offer the most amount of comfort he could.
Stolas was infuriated at the fact that the second demon he had ever come to love had been put into harm's way just as his first love had been as he mulled over ideas for a possible solution within his mind.
"Stolas?" Angel sniffled, hopelessly when Stolas had remained silent for longer than he would have liked him too. Was Stolas judging him for what he had done to his previous lover? More tears fell as Angel found himself wishing that Stolas would just say something already.
"Hell is too dangerous..." Stolas finally declared after a while.
"W-What?" Angel hiccuped softly in confusion as he reached up to wipe away his tears.
"Hell is too dangerous and no place for my little Angel..." Stolas clarified before looking over at his two daughters.
"Nor is it a proper place to raise a family..." He then added, his heart shattering at the thought of any harm befalling his two daughters next.
"I propose we leave..." Stolas then suggested.
"Leave?" Angel inquired with bewilderment.
"Allow me to explain: My Grimoire contains a spell that can allow us access to the human realm. We could all live amongst the humans in disguise as humans ourselves only we'll be immortal!" Stolas explained, his excitement growing as he voiced his wonderful idea, out loud.
"I'm game!" Luna agreed with a smirk as Octavia nodded in agreement.
"Well, it would be nice to be human again..." Angel admitted as he looked down at his monstrous, spider-like form, self-consciously. His life had been cut short by a tragic overdose, landing him in the torturous pit of Hell of all places. Sure the World might have changed since 1947 but Angel would have Stolas there to guide him as well as his new family. On top of everything else, he would be immortal and nothing would be able to send him back to Hell ever again. The only reason he would have had left to stay in Hell would have been Alastor but Angel no longer felt safe around him. When Alastor hit Angel, the spider lost any love he had left for the deer since in his mind, Alastor had officially gone too far with taking his emotional abuse to physical.
Angel could barely tolerate the disgusting way Alastor made him feel about his body but hitting him like Valentino use to was something that Angel just could not handle on top of everything else wrong Alastor had been doing in their former relationship. Sure, he had his friendship with Cherri Bomb but with Stolas, Angel would be getting everything he always wanted: A loving family.
"Alright, let's do it! Let's get the Hell outta Hell!" Angel finally agreed with a smirk as Stolas and his daughters cheered along with him.
