Anyway, this is a quick shits'n giggles Pride Month Chapter! Hopefully the lot of y'all are enjoying our month of gay, and may us love all of us, no matter what our sexuality, gender, etc etc may be.
On with the show!
Early mornings. All were asleep within the hotel, except of course one, rather large sinner, enjoying his morning coffee on the balcony on the thirteenth floor. Small sips were all Toxin took every few moments, letting the warm and bitter black liquid run down his throat. Toxin was still waking up, however, his tail wasn't fully popped quite yet, so he had a little more time to himself as he took another sip out of his mug.
Before Toxin could even take the small mug away from his lower jaw, a crash could be heard from a few floors down. Specifically the breaking of a window. ANGELS window to be real specific. Toxin peeked over the balcony, watching a fake head bounce along the ground like a child's bouncy ball. It was one of the heads you'd see have a wig, or some form of fake hair on. If that was the case, Angel was getting ready for something. What that was, well who knew. Toxin checked the watch Charlie had gotten him for Christmas the past year, showing time, date, and the current year. The date, June second, 20022.
Pride month.
This was one of Angel's favourite times of the year. All the residents of the Pride Ring joined in during a massive parade all throughout the month. The one time of the year where sinners, hellborn,Overlords, everyone celebrated themselves how they wanted to. By being themselves. Toxin himself, though secretly, was infact Bisexual. He never really wanted to admit it, especially where and when he came from.
"Back then.. The 1800's… never had none ah them pride month stuff… Sure as 'ell wish we did now.." He thought to himself. He finished his coffee, tipping the mug upside down,letting the last few drops fall to the ground below. Walking back inside, heading down the stairs to start getting breakfast together. Just something simple for everyone. Maybe add a few rainbow sprinkles to everyone's meals. But to the kitchen, he had to pass by Angel's room. He would take the elevator, if he could even fit in said elevator. But sadly it wasn't designed to fit a 7'11 scorpion-centaur.
Walking down the many, apon many flights of stairs, he finally reached the first floor. Walking past Angel's room, the door quietly creaked open, maybe just an inch or so. Toxin stopped, staring at the door a moment, cocking his head to the side for a moment. Just before a neon pink dot finally appeared out of the darkness. It moved towards Toxin's direction, and it disappeared. A smile formed in the darkness, a single gold tooth standing out among the rest of the maw's white teeth. Toxin stepped back, before four red-gloved hands quickly grabbed onto Toxin's upper body, pulling the large scorpion into the room.
"HAPPY PRIDE MONTH YOU BIG OLD SCORPION BASTARDA!" Angel yelled at the top of his lungs, squeezing the large scorpion with all the fluffy spider's strength. Giving the older scorpion a peck on the cheek, Before letting him go, going back to getting ready for the parade.
Toxin was dumbstruck, he wasn't expecting what had just happened. He knew Angel was very, flirtatious to say the least. But to drag Toxin into his room and give the older scorpion a kiss on the cheek. "N-Now Why in the good lard Lucifah was all that fah?" He asked, hoping to receive an answer. Sadly, the answer he had gotten, was not the one he was looking for.
"Well, its Pride month ya fucka, so why the hell not?" The spider responded, tossing a pair of underwear in Toxin's direction. Landing on Toxin's shoulder spike's. Toxin's mandible on the right side of his face, grabbing it slightly from the corner of the waistband. Realising it was a pair of red lingerie-panties. The mandibles toss them aside, a disgusted face growing on Toxin's maw. Wiping his right-hand mandible on his jacket-fluff. While Angel dug through his closet, looking for something to wear for this parade.
"Well, was wrong with wearin whatcha's usually wearin?" The Larger scorpion asked. Angel then turned to Toxin, a face that screamed "Are you kidding me?"
"Its pride month! If I just go as I normally go, that'd be boring!" He said, turning back towards his closet. "AHA! Found ya, ya lil buggers!" He exclaimed, holding up a neon pink dress-like material, only reaching down maybe 7-8 inches past his groin. Then, he did something Toxin had never wanted to experience in his second life. Angel started undressing in front of the scorpion sinner. What's even worse was that Angel was facing towards Toxin, seeing, Everything.
"ANGEL! FUCKIN TURNS YA FUZZY FRONT TAH THEM WALLS, AINT WANNA SEE NONE'AH THAT THIS EARLY IN THA MORNIN'!" Toxin screamed, trying his best to cover all twelve of his eyes. Turning the opposite way as to not see anymore that he already had. Angel in response fell to the floor, dying laughing. Seeing Toxin's reaction sent Angel through the roof. Once the spider could collect himself, he had a, what's the word..Lustful, idea brewing in his mind. Quietly, yet somehow very quickly, made it to Toxin's side, wrapping his four arms around the large sinner, pressing the entirety of his body against Toxin's side.
The entirety of Angel's body.
Toxin froze, his small eyes stared ahead of him, while his two dominant eyes shot to his side, where Angel hung onto. A bead of sweat as well as a green blush ran across his face like the bubonic plague ravaged Europe. Angel rubbed against the older man, a smile creeping along his lips as he came up to Toxins shoulder spikes, a small chuckle erupting from his throat, and as did the spider's tongue. Licking up the largest spike on the scorpion's shoulder. A shiver ran down Toxin's spine, what followed next, was what broke Toxin…
Charlie was awoken by a scream that shook the hotel to its very core. Vagatha was already up in a millisecond, ready to defend her girlfriend, spear-summoned and ready to be used. A thud came from above them, and the sound of Radio-static filled the vicinity. Apparently even Alastor was awoken by the sudden scream. Quiet cursing came from the radio demon as the girls could hear the overlord walk out his door, walk down the hall, past their room, and walk into the lobby. Then a thud, much louder than just Alastor falling. As well as being much heavier than the Radio two girls looked at one another, before rushing out their room to see what the commotion was, The sound of static growing louder and louder as they approached the lobby.
"Angel, what have we talked about when trying to, ahem, work, your magic, on fellow residents of the hotel?" Alastor spoke, his tone irritated, but always obvious he was trying to keep himself calm.
"Oh C'mon Al! You gotta admit that shit was fuckin' funny!" Angel said in return, still trying to hold in from laughing.
On the floor, Toxin was on his back, passed out from knocking his head on the front counter, thus creating a chain reaction, waking Husk from his drunken slumber.
"Angel,' Alastor said, "whether it was funny towards you or not, we do NOT do something like this, esPECIALLY this early in the morning." The radio demon spat, being tired of Angel shit this morning.
"Ok, Ok fine, But i'm still going to that parade with Rocky'ere." Angel referred to Toxin, smiling a bit. "Old mans never been to a pride parade before. Today, I'm changing that.~"
"Angel, You sure about this?" Charlie asked, "He's never been to one before. Plus they tend to get, oh whats the word…" She thought.
"Kinky?" Angel replied.
"Sigh, yes, that." The princess replied, in a defeated kind of way.
"Look, it'll be fine Charlie! He's with me! No kinky shit this year, long as he lets me ride him~" The horny spider cooed, small hearts filled his eyes
"ANGEL!" The trio yelled, a mix of anger, disgust, and radio-static filling the air.
"I meant like on his back! Geez calm ya tits! Look, he'll be fine ok? I'll make sure nothing happens to'm!" Angel turned his head to Toxin lying on the floor, still unconscious. "Once he wakes up of course."
Toxin woke with something burning run down his throat. Yet whatever had gotten in his mouth had gotten stuck at the very back of his throat. Causing him to quickly sit up, a coughing fit erupted from the old man's lungs.
"Oh! Afternoon sleepyhead." A familiar voice said to him. Clearing the dizziness from his mind, his eyes focused on who was talking. Angel Dust. Toxin then looked at what he had spat out. White, thick liquid. Toxin looked horrified, looking back at the spider.
"What? It's clam Chowdah, my folks used tah give it to me'n my siblings when we's was sick." He said, a smile on the spider's face. The soup was hot, and with the combination of the soup's thickness and the grounded pepper on top, that combo was what had awoken Toxin from his slumber.
"Ow… The'ell 'appened tah me? One moment ya's chasin me, next Ah'm up on in mah-" Before he could even finish his sentence, something touched his tail. Looking over to see Fat-Nuggets stretching a bit, before going back to his slumber, curled up in the old man's tail coils. A small smile crept onto the jaws of the scorpion.
"So," Angel spoke, turning back around. Shirtless with a pink mini-skirt just below his(nonexistent) rear. You ready for your very first pride parade, old man!?" Angel asked, giving him a toothy smile.
Toxin stared at the white spider, looking him up and down.
"Think ya could help an ol' feller out first?" He asked, struggling to get off his back. Angel responds with a small chuckle. Walking over to the scorpion, laying on top of the scorpion's lower half, crawling his way up the scorpion's lower half, making his way up Toxin's torso. Getting up to Toxin's face, he planted his forehead on the scorpions.
"What can I help ya's with il mio grande scorpione?~"
Parades, something everyone can enjoy, for the determined crowd of course. It could be for a protest, for something political, maybe just for a holiday. But today, or this month per say, is pride month! So that means a pride parade! Would you expect that even in hell that they'd hold a pride parade? Probably not if you're a christian mom on Facebook. But the denizens of hell, be it sinners, Imps, hellhounds, even the overlords celebrate by joining in and putting their efforts to actually celebrate the best month of the year. Other than october of course.
Though this one was special, because for one Sinner, this was their very first parade. Toxin, the old centaur-scorpion that had become the head chef of the Happy Hotel, was finally coming out of his semi-closeted shell. Toxin, when he had first landed down in hell, told everyone he was straight, that's how he was raised. But as the years went by, he soon realised that he was in fact Bi, finally embracing his Bi-ness when he had gone to the hotel and told everyone how he was. To no one's surprise, they all supported him on it.
But today, Toxin felt great. Angel had helped him paint the colours of being Bi all over his body. Pink, Purple n Blue. Across his chest, his tail, on his three spikes on his lower half, painted across his face, as well as a tiny flag he can wave around as he goes.
Angel was on the other hand a little more open and, rowdy, to say the least in this situation. With his second pair of arms held a massive flag with the colours of pride, along with a smaller flag in his right hand. Though Usually if/when Angel happened to be shirtless out in public, sinners and hellspawn alike would flock to his side wanting a photograph, or to do more, sexual kind of things with the porn star. But none of that happened today. Or as of late, this month. This month wasn't about sex or horormones, it was about love and being who you are. No matter what kind of person you are.
Angel and Toxin enjoyed themselves the most out of all of those who attended the parade. Going to vendors for food(Angel obviously getting almost all his stuff for free, as well as Toxin, due to Angel's request of course), buying some clothes for the both of them, over all, just enjoying the other's company.
When nightfell and things began getting quieter as people decided to head home for the night or go to bars to get wasted, the two arachnid sinners sat on the curb of the street by one of the bars littered around hell. Angel yawned loudly as Toxin stared at the ground, then turning to the white spider,
"Angel, ya's got mah mind'ere all scrambled'ere aintcha's" The scorpion perked up, finally saying something as they arrived. In response Angel cocked his head to the side, confused. "Don't get me wrong, Ah really appreciate ya's bringin' me tah this pride pahraid, but why me?"
Angel huffed, giving the old man a tired and semi-agitated spider grabbed ahold of Toxin, dragging him towards an empty alleyway, out of everyone else's view. With that, Angel pulled the scorpion close to his face.
"Ya wanna know why I brought YOU Specifically?" He asked, giving Toxin a toothy smile.
In the distance, fireworks were launched into the dark blood-red sky. In the sky were the colours for the pride flag, illuminated in that light, were Angel, and Toxin. Angel, was grabbing ahold of Toxins face, kissing the older sinner with all his might. Angel's lower hands grabbed ahold of his upper body, pressing the hard sinner's skin against the spider's soft white and pink fur.
And Toxin wrapped his lower mandibles around Angel's waist.
Happy pride month everyone, Pride month is every month.
