Okay, I know it seems like I've been dead for who knows how long and I don't blame you. I've been focusing way less on fanfiction and more on things like mods for Friday Night Funkin' and stuff. Also, at the time of writing this, Hazbin Hotel is still in its pilot stage, so I'm gonna have a story made up for this.
Also a warning in advance: There's gonna be some profanity in this, like… MAJOR profanity… only for a short part of the chapter.
Outside of the Morningstar Manor stood a teen boy and beside him was the Princess of Hell. Both looked a little nervous, though Charlie seemed to be more hesitant as she started to sweat a bit. Then Ash took her hand in his before giving her a reassuring smile, which made her blush and smile back before they entered ready to confront her family.
They made their way past several members of staff who gave them looks but looked away as they didn't want to stir anything up. As they entered the living room, they saw the man that controlled the underworld himself.
"H-hi, papa." Charlie says getting his attention as he turned, looking at her with his trademark eerie smile.
"Ah, Charlotte. Welcome home." Lucifer says while making his way over to her. "So good to have you-" He was saying before he took notice of Ash.
He stared at first, making the two feel uneasy, especially the boy which his pupils were burning into the head of. He looked down and saw their hands intertwined, and despite his smile remaining, his eyes showed fury.
"Sweetheart…" He says in a small angry tone. "What is it… you wanted to speak to me and your mother about?" He then asked.
"Well…" The girl says before straightening herself up while inhaling deeply. "Dad, this is my date, his name is-"
"GODAMMIT CHARLOTTE-!" The man shouted so loud it echoed, his smile dropping for a moment before he cleared his throat as the two were frightened by his outburst. "Let me talk to you in the kitchen real quick-" His tone immediately shifted back to calm as he forced a smile, despite one of his eyes twitching a bit. "We'll be right back young man." He then takes Charlie's other hand and separated the two as he took his daughter into the kitchen.
Before the man could say anything, his son chimed in. "Uh, dad?" He says, gaining the attention of the two of them. "There's a human in the living room." He says while pointing toward the nervous boy.
"I KNOW CHARLES! I KNOW!" Lucifer shouted with anger, again still forcing a smile.
"Honey, what are you shouting about?" Lilith says while entering the kitchen as well.
"Uh, is this a bad time? Cause-" Ash was saying.
"Oh my gosh, there's a human in our home." She says, surprised.
"Honey, I'll talk to you about this later." Lucifer says.
"Hey, Cecilia!" Charles started to say as his sister tried to gesture for him to stop. "Come down here and meet Charlie's new date!" He finished as she groaned.
"Who is it?!" A female voice called from the other entrance.
"I don't know, some human guy!" The blonde boy called back.
"HUMAN DI-" Next thing they heard was the rapid thumping of footsteps down the stairs before the sister burst through the door and immediately ran up to Ash, spooking him as she tried to catch her breath. "HEY!... You're a handsomely sexy piece of meat, aren't ya?" She says as Charlie looked disgusted. "My name is-"
"Cecilia, he said come down and meet her new date, not to suck his dick." Another blonde demon interrupts.
"Oh, FUCK you, Connor!" Cecilia shot back with a middle finger.
"FUCK you too!" He shot back with his own.
"ENOUGH!" Their father roared with righteous fury in his booming voice.
Lucifer closed his eyes and put a hand over his face as he sighed in annoyance. Cecilia and Conner looked freaked out, Lilith remained stolid by her husband's outburst, and Ash was a little freaked out while Charlie covered her face with her hands before glaring over at Charles who only gave her an apologetic look.
"Um… i-if this is a bad time, I could just come back some other time." Ash says before Cecilia stopped him.
"Oh, it's not a problem dear. I deeply apologize for their behavior." Lilith says while apologetically waving.
Her husband took a deep breath before looking back at his daughter, then at the only human boy. "Yes, I also apologize for our behavior, especially my own." He says while fixing his hair. "Forgive me, sweetheart, but… could you continue what you were saying?"
Charlie glared at her father. "Right…" She says before walking over to the boy. "This is Ash… he's my date." She says, then opens her mouth to say something else, but her mouth just hung open as the whole scene that was caused by her family made her scramble to remember. "Uh…"
"And he's a human?" Charles asked.
"Yes, he's a human-"
"And a keeper too." Cecilia says while brushing her hand across the boy's face.
"Thank you, for establishing that." Charlie quickly got between them. "And Ash, as you've seen, this is my family. My little sister: Cecilia." She says while gesturing to the other demon girl who was giving him bedroom eyes. "Please don't mind her. Anyways, this is my younger brother: Charles." The aforementioned demon boy waved awkwardly. "My second younger brother: Conner." Said demon boy proudly smiling with his arms behind his back. "And this is my mother and father." She then referred to the two fully grown demons who just stared.
"Oh, well, it's nice to meet you all." Ash says while waving politely.
"Yes, yes, very nice to meet you." Lucifer says, still glaring at him, but not as harshly.
The gaze definitely made the boy fear him a bit. He gave off such a threatening aura that he started fearing what would happen. Lilith saw and decided to ease the tension in the room, clasping her hand.
"Well, why doesn't everyone get settled at the table while I fix up dinner?" She says while clasping her hands.
"Good idea." Her husband says while still glaring at the boy before him and three of his kids followed.
Charlie sighed as Ash rubbed her back for comfort.
As they went to the table, the boy decided to help his girlfriend by pulling her chair out for her and pushing her in like a gentleman. She smiled at him as he returned it before sitting to her left. He heard squeaking and turned to his left seeing Cecilia scooting her chair closer to him. She gave him bedroom eyes again before Charlie groaned in frustration before using some magic to push her sister back the distance she was supposed to be, maybe a little further.
"So, uh… didn't expect to see a human down in Hell. You must be feeling lucky to stay that way when coming down here." Charles starts a conversation.
"Well, that's not really the thing that makes me feel lucky." Ash says while looking at his girlfriend who smiled and blushed at him.
"Right." Charles laughed. "Just curious, how did you die?"
"Charles." Lucifer says while looking at his son.
"Sorry… I… I just got a little curious, that's all."
"Actually-" Ash was about to say before Charlie put a hand on his shoulder and shook her head. "Uh… Car accident." He quickly says as she sighs in relief.
"Oh, sorry to hear that. There's actually a lot of people who come down here because of that."
"Actually most sinners that come down here usually are killed after attempting murder." Conner then says.
"Conner!" Charlie was the one to speak up this time.
"What? It's true, isn't it? Don't get angry at me for thinking he might've died from trying to kill someone."
"ANYWAY!" The princess quickly says, changing the subject. "I met Ash when he arrived in Pentagram City. Well actually, our meeting was in the Happy Hotel."
"Is that place still running?" Charles asked.
"Yes, it is. In fact, Ash has been a big help. We fixed up the hotel and there hasn't been much trouble since… well, apart from… demons trying to attack him for… uh… reasons."
"Oof sounds like such a hard life." Cecilia spoke up before sliding over to the boy. "I'd be glad to keep you safe from all those filthy vermin. ~" She then says, tracing a circle on his chest as he looked uncomfortable.
"THANK YOU, Cecilia!" Charlie says while pulling Ash into her arms while glaring at her sister. "I appreciate it, but I am plenty capable of protecting MY boyfriend, thank you very much."
"I'm just being nice is all." Her sister says all innocently.
"Doesn't sound like he can fend for himself." Conner muttered which had received a harsh glare from his sister.
"Dude…" Charles says while lightly smacking his arm.
"What? I'm just saying. What can a human possibly do against a demon?"
"DUDE!" Charles smacked his arm harder.
"OW! What?!"
"Boys, behave yourselves." Lilith says in a monotone voice.
The two of them looked fearful before straightening up. Charlie sighed in embarrassment, letting go of the boy and covering her face with her hands. Ash didn't know what to say, he had never been caught up in such an awkward position before.
He looked over at Lucifer who was still holding his smile, though the twitching eye was a dead giveaway as to what he was actually thinking. He just looked back at his food to avoid confrontation.
"Ash, why don't you tell us about your life on Earth?" Lucifer asks him.
"... Well… you see, funny you should ask that. I am…" He started to say before seeing Charlie shake her head while biting her lip. "... was a Po-" He saw her shaking her head again. "... professional… uh…"
"Just say you don't have a job-AGH!" Conner says before getting blasted.
"Charlotte Magne Morningstar!" Lilith says as her daughter shrunk back into her seat.
Later on, he and Charlie sat on a couch in the living room with Ash by her side. Her parents were upstairs talking in private and her brothers and sister were elsewhere… well Charles entered the room and sat in a seat across from them.
"Hey, how's it going?" He asked.
"It's going pretty well. It's been nice meeting all of you." Ash says in an awkward tone.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about Conner and Cecilia. They're pretty…" Charles begins before thinking. "What's the word?"
"Socially inept?" Charlie groaned.
"Yeah, that. Just don't mind them, they shouldn't cause you trouble."
"Wow, rude much?" They hear before turning and seeing the sister enter.
"Haha, c-c'mon Cecilia. You know I'm just kidding." Charles says while sweating a bit.
"Mmhmm. Sure." She says before strutting over to the couch and sitting right next to Ash. "So, what do you think of us? Find something… enticing? ~" She says in a flirty yet almost seductive tone that gave herself a glare from her sister.
"I… I don't think… enticing is the word I'd use." He says while leaning away from her a bit.
"And there she goes again." Conner says as he just appeared in one of the other seats. "Tellin' ya, she thinks of nothing but sucking off anything that breaths."
"Fuck. Off. Charles." Cecilia says between her teeth before turning back to Ash. "Anywho… are you a virgin?"
"Ya know what? We're just gonna be on our way. Come on, Ash." Charlie then says before grabbing the boy's arm and pulling him up.
She led him to the front door as her parents were coming down. "Charlotte where are you going?" Lucifer asked.
"Somewhere without them!" She yelled back before closing the door.
The man sighed with his hand on his face while his wife put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him. Charles watched before looking back at his other two siblings.
"What?" Conner asked.
"Bro, how oblivious can you two get?" He says while shaking his arms a bit.
(Later at the Hazbin Hotel)
The two arrived, exiting the limo they had taken before walking up to the front of the hotel. Ash's mind was still wrapped up in what just happened. As they entered, their friends took notice and a small Pokemon smiled while hopping over to the boy.
"Pika!"
"Hey, Pikachu." He says while catching it in his arms before it climbed onto his shoulder.
"Hey, Charlie." Vaggie says while walking up to her friend. "So, uh… how'd it go?"
"Well… uh…" Charlie hesitated a bit. "It uh… kinda…"
"What? Was it a shitshow?" Angel says before dodging a knife thrown at him. "FUCKING Satan! Can you just relax?!" He shouted.
"Vaggie, calm down. It uh…" The demon girl began to say. "I don't wanna talk about it." She says before going upstairs.
Vaggie sighed before turning to the boy. "So it was that bad, huh?"
"Eh, she said she doesn't wanna talk about it. Let's leave it at that." He tells her.
"Hey, join the club, kid. Life sucks no matter how you put it." Husk says before downing liquor.
Ash decided to go upstairs to see his girlfriend, looking around for where she could be. He was about to check his temporary room before he looked out on the balcony. She had her elbows on the railing while staring out into the sky. He went to her and put a hand on her back.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked.
"Yes, I'm fine, Ash." She says before turning to him. "Sorry about my family. I probably shouldn't have brought you to see them."
"Don't apologize. It's not your fault."
"But I know what they're like and yet despite preparing, and telling them about this, I couldn't get brothers, especially my sister to keep to themselves."
"Yeah, sometimes family can be hard to deal with."
"I hear you there. Family can be pretty complicated at times."
"I highly doubt what you just experienced is anything like your family."
"... Good point." Ash says before looking back at the red sky. "You know you can talk to me about it."
Charlie inhaled before exhaling. "They're not trying to force me into doing stuff like this, but honestly… I think my dad has too high of expectations of me. For the most part, I don't think he really cares what I do, even if it means trying to bring sinners to Heaven, but apparently, he cares whenever it comes to me dating someone. Worst part is now that he knows I'm dating a human, the next time I visit is gonna be so 'fun'."
"Why don't we just forget about this for now? Don't overthink it." The raven-haired teen says before holding her hand. "Trust me, let's just focus on what's going on right now, okay?"
She gripped his hand before sighing. "Yeah, maybe you're right."
"It's okay." He says before pulling her closer and hugging her. "You know I'm here for you."
Charlie could only hug back and bury her face in his chest. Ash put a hand on her, gently combing her hair while rubbing her back. Her grip on him tightened, but he didn't care. He only kept comforting her as much as possible. After a bit, she pulled her head back and looked up at him.
"Feel better?" He asked while smiling at her.
"Yes." She says before he rubbed her head again.
"Like I said, I'm here for you."
"I know." She says while giving him a small smile. "Can you promise not to stop saying that?"
"Of course. If it means seeing you smile." He says before thinking. "You wanna head back to my world? It could help."
"No, we're good here." She said before resting her head on his chest again.
They stayed where they were, still hugging each other for as long as they needed. Ash kissed her on the forehead in hopes of helping her cheer up. Charlie looked up at him, then her smile widened before she started to get all giddy before jumping on him, causing them to crash to the floor whilst both were laughing.
"There's the Charlie I know-" Ash was saying before she mashed her lips against his.
He was pushed back against the floor before returning the kiss while still hugging her. Things may not have been perfect for the daughter of the devil, but even so, she had a boy who could make her happy and that was all that mattered to her. Even if it was just to see her smile, he would be there for her no matter what.
The end…?
Okay, I'm not gonna lie, this is probably a bit rusty since I haven't written one of these in a while, but I hope it still turned out well. Also, yes, Charlie's brothers and sister are OCs, they're not legit characters in the actual story.
Ash may not be in the Pokemon anime, but we will never forget the boy that took years before becoming the great Pokemon Master he is now.
