[Author's Note] So given how well received Helluva Reunion was and with so many requests for more one shots like it I've decided to make another Helluva Boss and Loud House short story that is inspired by TvFan2244's "A Loud Among Demons" series. This one was the most requested because let's be honest, a lot of fans of this story like Lincosika. So I decided to try my hand at a brief chapter about the two going on another date together. Remember that this is not my original work, this is inspired by TvFan2244 who is the original author. So all credit is due to them and not me. This is simply what I think another date between Lincoln and Verosika would be like if it happened in their story.
-Helluva Date-
It was a late afternoon in Imp City and it was painfully slow too. So much so in fact that Blitzo decided to close early and let everyone enjoy the rest of their day. Blitzo left to do his own thing, as did Loona and after saying goodbye to their surrogate son with some parental affection Moxxie and Millie decided to go out for a night between the two of them. And this time they were smart enough to make sure their boss had no clue at all where they were going to dinner. That left the youngest member of I.M.P. and the sole living human denizen of hell all on his own at I.M.P. headquarters. And the poor kid was bored out of his skull. Lincoln Loud tried everything he could find to entertain himself.
His first hour alone was more studying the demonic arts with some more books material his teacher gave him. And while he was certainly learning a lot more he still felt like he was far off still from finally lifting the curse that bound him to the land of eternal suffering and damnation. After that he tried gaming some more. Now one would think that with game systems unique to hell and being a hardcore gamer like himself Lincoln would be able to enjoy himself for hours but no. One of the things Lincoln never liked was gaming by himself. Back up on earth none of his sisters except for Lana would game with him and even then that was rare. Here he had Loona during their breaks and she was definitely fun.
But today he had the whole office to himself and even the most extreme and coolest games in the seven rings just weren't as much fun by himself. Out of sheer boredom he even entered Blitzo's office and actually started filing his paperwork. Gave up on that in five minutes because for one, that was even more boring than gaming by himself and two, why the fuck was he doing Blitzo's paperwork for him? His boss doesn't even pay him for doing his own jobs. So yeah, today Lincoln wasn't just bored. He was BORED. He honestly needed to get out and do something to kill some time before coming back later to turn in for bed. But what? Loona wasn't answering any of her texts.
He wasn't too concerned about what Blitzo was doing and he didn't want to bother his surrogate mother and father while they were having some time to themselves. Out of being extremely board and frustrated he groaned and fell back into his bed. He looked over and saw the hellphone his friend Octavia got him and did consider calling her but decided against it. It was a weekend so naturally she would be at her mother's private estate. The very last thing he wanted to do was reveal his existence to Stella. He never met her but based on what he's heard from both Stolas and Octavia she sounded like a nasty piece of work. That's why he would let Via call him on weekends if she wanted to talk.
He scrolled through his contacts and came across some of the newest numbers he added. Verosika Mayday, Coco, Apple, Milky and Kiki were all listed now. He remembered meeting them the first time around and the impression they made on him. And he remembered the date he went on with Verosika a week and a half ago at Ozzie's in lust ring. While it was something he was trying to avoid he was surprised to find that he really enjoyed her company and couldn't help but think of her more. And now he's thinking about her again and is now wondering what he's doing. A few buttons and he starts setting up a new message link with the popstar demoness. He stopped himself right before sending.
"I gotta be out of my damn mind." he said pinching the bridge of his nose and pressing send. No going back now.
His message read "Hey Verosika. It's me, Lincoln. I hope I'm not bothering you. Got a minute?"
At first thought she wouldn't respond straight away. She was a famous diva after all and was probably at another performance but nota minute later and he gets "Lincoln! I'm so glad you messaged me hi!" in response.
He started typing back before sending another message. "Are you busy? I'd like to talk." he sent back to her.
He saw that she got it and was typing back. Seconds later a message pops up. "I always have time for you. But wanna video chat?" she asks him.
He starts typing back quickly to answer. "Sure. Give me just a few and I'll call you." he tells her.
She replies "I'll be waiting." and sends a little kissing emoji.
Lincoln sets up his phone sideways on a little stand so that he wouldn't have to be holding it the whole time and dials her up. A few seconds of ringing and her face shows up on a video with his in the corner of the screen.
"Hey Verosi-WOAH!" he gasps and falls out of his chair, much to her amusement.
When she invited him for a video chat, he expected her to be somewhere private. Which of course she was. She didn't however tell him that she was taking a bath. It was a bubble bath and there were more than enough suds to cover up her more private parts, but this was still very shocking for the kid, seeing the gorgeous demoness pop singer in the middle of something so private. The succubus giggled of course. She enjoyed playfully teasing him and she knew he found her beautiful and desirable. She thought it was cute how he was now blushing several shades of red and struggling to maintain eye contact while resisting the urges to look down out of curiosity. His heart was beating wicked fast.
"I am so sorry Verosika, I didn't realize that you were-" he said trying his best not to get a nosebleed.
The succubus popstar only giggled. "There's nothing to be sorry about Linky." she told him will leaning to the side and resting her head against her hand. "I was just thinking about you and I'm so very happy you decided to reach out to me." she told him as she lifted one leg out of the water before resting it over her other leg. "So, to what do I owe the pleasure?" she asked with lidded eyes and a suggestive smile.
"Well..." he began rubbing the back of his neck. "Today's been very slow and everyone's already gone home." he told her.
"Uh huh?" he asked still grinning at him looking really nervous.
"I hope this doesn't sound last minute but..." he said trying to find the right words.
"Yes?" she asked thinking it cute as he tries to keep his composure.
"Are you busy with anything tonight?" he asked finally.
She shifted and sat upright. "No tonight is a free night for me why?" she asked him.
"Well, I wanted to know if we could meet up. Maybe go somewhere you like going to when you're not working." he suggested.
This got her really excited. "Linky, are you asking me out on a date?" she asked sounding really happy.
"Uh, y-yeah I guess I am." he said with a slightly more nervous smile.
"I would love to!" She practically sang. "I can make arrangements for transportation, if I told you where I am here in Lust would you like to come by and we'll leave together?" she asked him.
"Uh sure. I can teleport over and we can leave as soon as you're ready. How much time do you need to get ready?" he asked her.
"I'll see you in an hour and I'll text you my address. I can't wait to see you Linky." she said before blowing a kiss and ending the call.
Lincoln recovered his hellphone and sure enough he got a text from her with her home address. "Okay, I guess I should probably put on something nice for her too." he said to himself before going through his clothes.
Lincoln still couldn't believe he was doing this but at the same time he was glad he could be out and doing something fun. And while he was still very nervous he was also excited to be seeing Verosika again. Hopefully this time she'll be wearing more clothes. He was going through the clothes that he had from his business suite that Blitzo got for him when he first joined I.M.P. to the new clothes he's been getting from Stylish Occult that he frequently goes to with Octavia. He tried on several different outfits before finally settling on the one he was going to wear. He wore dark grey jeans with one rip over his right knee, a grey tee shirt and a black hoodie with a demon skull and crossed bones on the back.
He also fixed his hair to be slightly more messy than his usually more neat and combed because he really started to like that look. But then a thought just occurred to him. Last time he teleported away and only just briefly to speak with Octavia about her plans to see a meteor shower Millie got mad at him for not telling her first. And he was barely gone for five minutes. Imagine how she'd react if he disappeared for several hours at night to go on a date with the most famous succubus in hell without telling her. And he really didn't want to get in trouble with his foster parents again. So this time he was going to inform them by text message that he was going to meet up with her for dinner or something.
He figured that with work over early and him free to do what he likes when he's on his own they'd probably be more understanding. He may be a kid but he's not a baby. And while Millie can be a little strict, he didn't at all think she was unreasonable. So he picked up his hellphone and decided to shoot a quick text to Moxxie. He knew he would be the best person to explain his plans to her in a way that would keep her calm and understand their son's plan.
-Moxxie And Millie's Apartment-
Moxxie was currently relaxing in his household and was in a very upbeat mood. His date with his wife was great, dinner was perfect and now they were home and ready to settle down and just enjoy the rest of the day together before they would go to bed. He was in the middle of preparing a very special herbal tea for himself and Millie when he felt his hellphone vibrate in his pocket which alerted him to a message. He was suspicious that perhaps Loona was yet again about to send him links to another weight loss site. He was pleasantly surprised to see that instead it was from his surrogate human son. And right on cue, his wife enters the room and notices him reading his text while accepting the tea.
"Who's it from Sweetie?" she asked before taking a sip.
"Lincoln." he answered reading. "He says he's going on a date tonight." he says in a pleasantly surprised manner.
"Oh really?" she asked all excited. "Our boy must've found himself a sweet little demon gal who likes. him. Did he say who?" she asked before taking another sip.
Moxxie's smile dropped when he finished reading. "Verosika." he said looking back up at her.
Millie's response was to spit out her tea and do a doubletake. "THAT JEZEBEL?!" she shrieked with a fire in her eyes.
"Now now now Honey, let's remain calm." he said trying to keep her from doing anything rash. "Lincoln said in the message he sent me that they're just going out for dinner. He promised he'll be back at I.M.P. headquarters at eleven." he explained.
"Moxxie! How can you be okay with him going out with that slut?!" she demanded almost foaming from the mouth.
"I'm going to have to agree with Millie on this one Moxxie." said Blitzo as he exited his hiding place and entered their kitchen. "How can you be okay with the kid dating that walking talking bag of assholes?" he asked him.
"Lincoln is very capable and very mature for his age. I'm certain he's... WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN OUR HOUSE SIR?!" he yelled when he realized that Blitzo had once again got in and was intruding on their privacy.
"Once again Moxxie you've proven your brain is smaller than your itty bitty baby dick when it came to choosing locks." he bragged with his hands on his hips. "But seriously, how can you be fine with the kid going on a date with Verosika? All I ever got from that drunken whore was a banging headache and a rash that took six days and eight different ointments to get rid of." he told him.
"Maybe because I trust Lincoln and I feel he should be free to decide for himself who he spends his free time with." Moxxie answered. "Just because you had a bad breakup with Miss Mayday doesn't mean Lincoln can't have a meaningful relationship with her." he pointed out.
"Moxxie you know exactly what Succubi are like! How can you be so calm?!" Millie shrieked getting up in his face.
"Honey, Lincoln is twelve years old. He's not a baby." he says still trying to calm her.
"HE'S MY BABY!" she roared with fire in her eyes and feral snarling.
"And we can trust him Millie." he said in defense of their foster son. "Look I'm just as surprised about this as you are but I'm sure Lincoln has his reasons for wanting to meet up with her. Let's talk to him about it in the morning when we return to work." he told her taking her hands.
"Of course I trust our boy Moxxie it's that skank I don't trust!" she said still not calming down.
Moxxie huffed and turned to his boss. "Since you're here Sir is there anything that you wanna add?" he asked him.
"Hey I'm just saying that if the kid really wants to date that bitch, he's welcome to it. He has painfully low standards but at the end of the day I'm not going to be the one sleeping with her." he said throwing his hands up.
"SLEEPING WITH HER?!" Millie screamed.
"Sir you're not helping!" Moxxie yelled. "Millie, Lincoln said they're just going out to get something to eat. I'm sure everything will be fine." he said but the rage in her eyes made it clear she wasn't interested in listening. Moxxie let out a groan and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Sir, since you're here would you help me out with Millie? She just needs a moment to calm down so she can start thinking straight. I don't want her causing any problems for us, Lincoln or anyone else." he told him.
"Oh Satan fucking damnit." the other imp grumbled. He was really hoping to catch Moxxie and Millie love making tonight but instead he had to retrain a crazed wrath imp who took overprotective mother to an unholy level.
-Back At I.M.P.-
After a few more last minute preparations, Lincoln picks out a portal card and opens up doorway in between pride and lust. He hops through and sure enough, he's hit instantly with the exact same feeling from when he first went to lust not long ago to try and talk Blitzo out of interrupting Moxxie and Millie's wedding anniversary. The midnight blue skies and the much lighter but still noticeable raining. And while he was definitely alone, he already could feel like he was being hunted. The same feeling he had from so many different succubi all shamelessly flirting with him and pursuing less than noble plans for him. Luckily though, he arrived exactly where he wanted to be. Clearly getting even better at magic.
Verosika's mansion was exactly what you'd expect being the home of a famous popstar. Very large and fancy, iron gate and a walkway that leads straight up to the front door. He quickly walks up and takes a deep breath before ringing her doorbell. Not a minute went by and the door opens up.
He smiles and is the first to speak. "Hey Verosika- Woah!" he said as his mouth gaped and his eyes grew as wide as dinnerplates.
The gorgeous succubus pop singer wore a velvet red halter top that hugged her busty chest quite nicely and shoved off both her cleavage and midriff, a matching miniskirt that was slit up both sides and a black leather belt with a hot pink heart over the belt buckle. She wore long white silk gloves that reached up to her shoulders and long black leather boots that reached up her long legs to her thighs and stopped just short of the hem of her skirt. Her long pink hair was flowing freely down her back and over her stylish pink fluffy coat. She smiled at him with her trademark seductive smile with lidded eyes that were filled both with lust and desires but also genuine feelings of admiration and affection.
Lincoln was blushing and trying to find the words that were stuck in his throat. "Buh..." he finally blurted out.
Verosika giggled and leaned forward. "Looks like you dropped something Linky. Here let me get that for you." she said tapping his jaw and closing his mouth for him.
He shook himself back into reality and smiled. "Verosika you look, wow. I mean just wow." he said doing a doubletake.
"Why thank you Sweetie." she said before affectionately caressing his cheek. "And you are looking so cute. I'm so glad you came. Another date so soon is such a wonderful surprise." she said standing up yo her full height.
"So, was there a place you wanted to go to tonight? Any place special?" he asked as she closed her front door and they started walking together side by side.
"I'm more than happy to spend time with you anywhere Linky." she cooed before putting on her heart designed sunglasses. "However I am a little hungry. Have you eaten yet Linky?" she asked.
"Just a few snacks." he answered shrugging his shoulders.
"Great, because there's this great place in Gluttony Ring I have got to show you. Best food, booze and dance floors for partying all night long." she told him as they exited her front gate. Just in time for the taxi she called to drive right up. Lincoln impressed her by getting the door for her and allowing her to take her seat first. "Such a gentleman." she cooed as she entered while briefly tickling his nose with her tail again in a playful and teasing manner. He then closed the door, walked around to the other side and when he opened she invited him in with her sexy smirk and a come hither motion to take a seat with her. As soon as he entered and closed the door she turned to the taxi driver. "Gluttony Ring. Party Palace." she told him.
The taxi was off and Lincoln looked up to his drop dead sexy date. "So uh, looks like we got some time to kill before we get there." he said rubbing the back of his neck.
"We can chat in the meantime." she replied. "Tell me a little bit about your life up top Lincoln. A sweet boy like you must have lots of friends I'm sure." she said smiling.
"Oh yeah, back at school I get to hang out with them at lunch almost every day. We often times get together at each other's homes too and have fun." he told her.
"Tell me about them." she said turning to face him,
"Well there's my best friend Clyde. The two of us have been real close since we were both seven." he started off. "We're also friends with Zack, Rusty, Liam and Stella." he said before chuckling. "You know, I'm reminded of a funny story back at the beginning of the school year." he said smiling.
"Due tell." she replied sounding intrigued.
-Imp City-
In their shared apartment building, Moxxie was getting help from Blitzo in restraining Millie. And by restraining they were literally tying her to a chair with chains wrapped tightly around her body and several padlocks. Millie herself was looking equal parts angry and crazy. Moxxie and Blitzo were a little concerned.
"You think these chains can hold me? Ha!" she cackled. "Nothing, and I mean nothing with Satan as my witness will keep me from being their for my baby boy." she said with an eye twitching.
Moxxie walked out from behind and before his wife to put a hand on her shoulder. "Honey, please." he pleaded. "Lincoln is going to be okay. I'm sure of it. He's a bright kid and is capable of handling himself." he told her with the best smile he could put on in an effort to reassure his wife.
"Seriously Mills you need to cut the cord." Blitzo said with his hands on hips. "The kids twelve years old and his magic skills are nothing to sneeze at either." he told her.
"Please Millie just calm down. If you want we can talk to Lincoln about it tomorrow and set things straight then but getting this worked up isn't helping." he told her.
"Y'all wanna know the only problem?" she asked with a sinister and unhinged smile.
"What's that Millie?" Blitzo asked her.
And then much to their shock, within the time it literally takes to blink she vanished in thin air. In her place was a pillow from her bedroom now rolled up and wrapped in the chains that were supposed to be coiled around her. A pumpkin was placed on top where her head was supposed to be and it was topped with a wig. And just as they both fell off the pillow to the floor the both of them could hear the female imp all around them.
"I'm already gone." she said immediately followed by animalistic growling and insane laughter.
"She's the in walls." Blitzo said before he and Moxxie quickly picked up hunting rifles. "SHE'S IN THE GODDAMN WALLS!" he yelled to the top of his lungs.
-Gluttony Ring-
Back in the Taxi, Lincoln was finishing up his story and Verosika was laughing the whole time. "Seriously!" he said struggling to control himself as well. "Who would've thought that politely refusing maple syrup on your pancakes is an offense punishable by forceful deportation from Canada and a life long ban from ever reentering the country?" he asked as he laughed at that himself.
"Dear Satan that's hilarious." she said finally able to regain composure. "Royal Woods sounds like such a fun place. I can't believe I've never thought about going there." she told him smiling again.
Lincoln own smile faded as a thought occurred to him. "Yeah, yeah it really is." he replied very quietly now.
This rung some bells and now she was a bit more serious. "Lincoln? What is it what's wrong?" she asked placing a hand on his shoulder.
He paused for a brief moment before turning to his date. "Ever since I've come here I haven't seen my friends in months. Them, or my family for that matter. Verosika I-" he said before they were cut off.
"We're here." said the taxi who pulled over.
He quickly shook his head and did his best to straighten himself up. "We'll worry about that later. Come on, I believe we have a date to get to." he said smiling again.
Verosika was still worried about him but she didn't want to ruin the night so she smiled and went along with it. They both exited the taxi, Verosika paid their driver and Lincoln looked up at what called the Party Palace. Lincoln had only been to gluttony ring once before and it looked much like he last remembered it. Bright yellow skies, buildings and structures with lots a beehive look to them, it was all very interesting to look at. One of the things he definitely appreciated about traveling to different rings were the brighter colors were more refreshing the usual dark red sky that was wrath ring. Once the driver was off the tall and gorgeous succubus popstar walked up to Lincoln and smiled.
"Are you ready Linky?" she asked him eagerly.
Lincoln smiled back up at her. "Let's go." he answered.
The both of them entered together and Lincoln was instantly blown away. There were seven levels along the side leading up and he could see demons partying and eating all around from bottom to top. The enormous room was mostly yellow much like most of gluttony ring in general with other colors thrown in. And there were demons from every ring either out on the dance floor or sitting at tables, eating and drinking. And the aroma of the food hit him like a train which reminded him how hungry he was now. There were imps, hellhounds, succubi and incubi, shark demons from greed ring and many more he hasn't seen before. The lights and the music brought out a desire to dance in him.
This was the place to party. "Woah!" he said in awe of what was before him.
"First time here Lincoln?" she asked smiling down at him.
"I've been to Gluttony Ring once before but not to Party Palace. This place is amazing." he said looking left and right at all the sights.
Verosika thought his childish sense of wonder was adorable. She looked back up when she and her date heard a familiar voice. "Well looks who's here." said the tall dark grey wolf of a hellhound with a blind eye and a friendly smile.
"Tex!" Lincoln said running up and giving him a high five.
"Hey what's up little man?" he greeted in warm friendly and big brother like manner.
That was when they heard the buzzing of wings and they looked up to see the host. A tall demoness with the characteristics of a fox with four arms and wings like a bee. Her fur was bright yellow with pink stripes. Her abdomen as well as some of her hair and tail resembled flowing lava like a lava lamp.
"Is that my favorite human?" she greeted warmly as she came down quickly to give him a hug.
"Hi Queen Bee." he said a she let him go. "And come on, I'm the only human living down here." he told her.
"All the more reason for me to like you." she said standing up. "Hey I'm sorry, I didn't realize you came with someone." she said looking up and greeting her guest.
The tall succubus took off her shades and smiled at the deadly prince. "Nice place you got here Queen Bee. Love the music." she complimented.
"Ha! Words of praise from Verosika Mayday. I'm flattered." she replied.
"I'm real happy to see you again Queen Bee. But what are you doing here?" Lincoln asked her.
She giggled and ruffled his hair playfully. "I own this place. In fact I own several places just like it. You know me, I just love throwing parties." she told him.
"So seeing you both here is a surprise. What brings you here?" Tex asled them.
"Verosika and I are here on a date." Lincoln told him trying and failing to avoid blushing.
"Shut the fuck up seriously?" she asked sounding very impressed. "I never would've guessed that you'd be dating a popstar." she commented with two of her arms crossed and the other two on her hips.
"And speaking of unexpected dates, I didn't know my bodyguard was dating one of the Deadly Princes. When did this happen Tex?" she asked sounding pleasantly surprised.
The hellhound rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled, slightly embarrassed. "It's not that I wanna keep my relationship with Bee a secret from you or anything Boss." he said wrapping an arm around his girlfriend and holding her close. "It's just when I'm at work I'm there one hundred percent. I stay out of everyone else's personal lives and I don't drag anyone else into mine." he explained.
"Consider it dropped. I'm happy for you big guy and I trust you to keep everything professional." she told him with her hand on her hips.
"I appreciate that Boss. That's one of the reasons I never liked working for Leviathan or anyone from Envy Ring for that matter. None of them wanna mind their own damn business." he remarked.
"Well tell you what." Queen Bee said getting their attention. "Since I like you both so much and since you are my boyfriend's boss both your meals are on me." she told them.
"Wow really?" Lincoln asked sounding surprised.
"Of course." she said caressing his cheek. "You two go ahead and find your seats, I'll be by later after I tend to the rest of my guests." she told them as she flew off.
"I've got some things I got to check out as well." Tex said turning to the human boy and the succubus popstar. "Talk to you two again later." he said before walking off with a friendly wave goodbye.
The pair of them then made their way to an empty chair off to the side and out of side so they could enjoy their privacy. Lincoln quickly pulled out her chair for her. "Why thank you Lincoln." she cooed before tickling his nose with the end of her tail again. "As always such a gentleman. If only more men were more like you Linky." she said lacing her fingers together and resting her chin on them with her elbows on the table.
"Well you can think my parents and older sisters for that." he replied taking his seat across from her. "Treating women and girls well was something I was raised on." he told her.
"Well they should be very very proud of you." she complimented.
"So, how have you been Verosika? I hope your work has been good to you." he said smiling.
"Oh yes." she answered with pride in her voice. "In fact I got a gig I'm doing in the next three weeks and already tickets are sold out. I'm pretty sure this will be my biggest show yet." she told him.
"Wow that's great! Where will you be hosting?" he asked.
"Las Vegas actually. Lot's of tourists and partygoers nationwide." she answered.
"I'm real happy for you. You know, two of my oldest sister Lori and Leni are really big fans of yours." he pointed out.
"No shit really?" she asked not expecting that.
"Oh yeah. If you ever decide to go to Michigan you can bet they'll show up to one of your next big concerts." he told her.
"Then maybe I'll be sure to give them a shoutout and even invite them behind stage to meet them. If they're your sisters I'm sure they're both really sweet." she told him now intrigued by the idea of meeting two of Lincoln's many sisters.
"Yeah... yeah they're pretty nice." he said trialing off for a moment.
This caused some concern. "Lincoln?" she asked.
"I haven't seen my family in months Verosika." he said looking back up to her. "Sometimes I-" he began before he was cut off.
Queen Bee flew right back in and landed at their table. "Hey you two. I'm sorry for keeping you both waiting but are you ready to order?" she asked them.
Lincoln pulled himself together to respond. "Order? But we don't have any menus." he pointed out.
Both ladies laughed before the Deadly Prince responded. "Link, sweetie there are no menus. You order whatever you want." she told him.
"Anything?" he asked her.
"Anything." she answered before turning to the succubus. "How about you honey? What would you like?" she asked.
Verosika sat back in her seat, arms crossed and one leg over the other. "Filet mignon and lobster tail. Steamed asparagus, bread rolls with a side of garlic butter and I'll have that with a kiwi watermelon margarita." she ordered with a smile.
And just like that Queen Bee made it magically appear right in front of the popstar down to the last detail. All fresh and hot with the sweet aroma filling their nostrils. "Woah!" Lincoln said in awe not believing what he just saw.
Verosika picked up her fork and knife and already started on her meal while Queen Bee turned to Lincoln. "And how about you little man?" she asked grinning.
"Uh, I'll have a double bacon cheeseburger with crispy onions and extra BBQ sauce, some seasoned curly fries and a large grape soda with crushed ice." he told her and just like that a plate with exactly what he ordered appeared right in front of him.
"Here in Gluttony, enough is never enough." she said bending down and gripping his shoulders while Lincoln's mouth was watering. "Go to fucking town little man. I'll be back later once you're both ready for dessert." she promised before taking off again.
Lincoln wasted no time in picking up the big juicy burger and having a bite and he was almost overwhelmed with how rich the flavor was. "This is amazing." he says in delight after swallowing.
"I'm glad that you're enjoying your meal Linky." she smiles before taking a sip of her margarita. "So what about you? How has working with Blitzo been?" she asked wincing having to say his name.
"Well work at I.M.P. is a real hit or miss." he said before tossing a few fries into his mouth and then drinking his soda to wash it down. "Some days are very busy with us getting three or four customers a day. Others can be very slow with us not having anyone coming at all. Last few days have been the latter." he said before taking another bite of his burger.
"I can't understand why you enjoy working with those nasty little gremlins Lincoln. You could do so much better." she said cutting off a piece of lobster and eating it.
Lincoln paused for a moment and finished swallowing his mouthful before responding. "Verosika, I know you're not too fond of Blitz and how you deal with it is up to you but can you please not speak so poorly of Moxxie and Millie?" he asked her.
"The other imps?" she asked before taking a sip of her drink.
"They're my foster parents Verosika." he told her.
Such a revelation caused her to choke briefly on her drink and Lincoln got up quickly to help her catch her breath while she was coughing. "I am so sorry about that Linky, I-" she said realizing she stuck her foot in her mouth earlier.
"It's fine." he said giving her a reassuring smile. "I'm getting used to people being mean to each other down here. But I really don't like it when others are say nasty things about the people I work with. They're not just my coworkers, they're my family now." he told her.
She gave a small smile in return and nodded her head. "I promise, I'll be good as gold to Moxxie and Millie for you." she told him as he took his seat again. And now that she really thought about it, something Lincoln said on her first date with him at Ozzie's in lust ring made a lot more sense. When he called his parents his "human parents" perplexed her at first as to why he said that but now it made sense. "Let's change subjects. Tell me some more stories of your friends." she said as she was returning to her meal.
But before Lincoln could respond they both hear a familiar voice. "Is that who I think it is?" asked a succubus who was shorter than the rest of their group but still taller than Lincoln. This time she wore black jeans that hugged her curvy hips tightly and stopped just short of her ankles with a white long sleeve top that exposed her midriff with several bracelets around her wrists. "Hey Verosika, what's up girlfriend? And how are you Linky?" she asked with a wink.
"Hi Milky." Lincoln greeted back happily.
"Milky, hey." Verosika greeted back as one of her friends approached the table. "I didn't know you were here today what are the odds?" she asked with a grin.
"Oh you know me." she strutted over and up to Lincoln. "I go where the party is and Party Palace is one of the hottest places in Hell." she said before stealing one of Lincoln's curly fries and then looking at him in a lusty way. "And of course I love the desserts here the most." she teased getting him to blush.
"Eh he, happy to see you again Milky." Lincoln said rubbing the back of his neck while she wrapped her arms around him.
"So what brings you two here?" she asked him playfully.
"Oh, uh Verosika and I are on a date." he answered.
"No shit really? Well look at you. Stealing a famous popstar all for yourself." she teased playfully pinching his cheek.
"And this time, he was the one to call and ask me out." Verosika commented before taking another sip of her drink.
"Well well well, this party just got a whole lot more wild and exciting." came another familiar female voice. All three turned around to see Kiki. This time she was actually wearing a top rather than her usual slutty attire. She wore a purple sleeveless top that also exposed her midriff but she still had the fish netting down her arms and her abdomen. She also wore a matching skirt that was slit down one side and had the same netting down her legs and she had on a new pair of high heel boots. "Everyone knows it's not a real party unless the Goddess of Pop makes an appearance." she said as she strutted over to their table.
Verosika smiled as another member of her group approached them. "Kiki, hi. I was talking with Linky about how we just ran into Milky just now. And you're here too? What are the odds?" she asked with a hint of suspicion in her voice.
"Believe it beautiful." she replies before turning to Lincoln. "And of course I'm always happy to run into you Lincoln." she said as she walked over and joined Milky in clinging to the white haired boy.
"Uh, happy to see you too Kiki." he said getting nervous again.
"You know, Linky and I are on a date." Verosika said getting their attention. "And while I'm always happy to see you guys, I thi-" she said before she was cut off.
"Eeeeee! Linky!" came another all too familiar voice. Lincoln barely had time to react before another succubus tackled him him in a hug and was loving on him like a puppy dog. "I'm so glad I found you again Cutie!" she said before planting a peck on his cheek.
"Hey Apple." Lincoln said as she nuzzled her cheek against his.
This time Apple came dressed in the classic slutty school girl outfit with her blonde hair done in a ponytail, her white dress shirt having several buttons undone at the top exposing her cleavage as well as at the bottom exposing her navel, a tie that was loosened have way down, a green plaid mini skirt with silk stockings and high heel shoes. And of course, where there is Apple, Coco is not far behind.
"I can always trust my girl to find you easily Baby Boy. You know you can't hide from us." said her girlfriend as she came up to them. Coco was wearing a one piece sleeveless dress that stopped just short of her thighs, silk stockings and high heel shoes. "The two of us are always delighted to see you Lincoln." she said with a wink.
"Hey Coco." Lincoln greeted while still wrapped in Apple's loving embrace.
"Okay, what's really going on here?" Verosika asked from the other side of hers and Lincoln's table. They all turned to see her with her arms crossed and looking somewhat irritated. "Now I can believe that I ran into one of you by chance while out on a date. Two of you, bit of a stretch but okay. But all four of you at the same place? There's no way all of us here at once is just luck." she told them.
"Okay okay sorry Verosika." said Coco as she pulled out her hellphone. "This is why." she said handing it to her.
The popstar took it and took a minute to look it over before she groaned somewhat. "Figures." she grumbled.
"Is everything okay Verosika?" Lincoln asked. She responded by handing the phone to him and he looked to see a notification on Coco's social media account. There was also a pic someone took of her and Lincoln entering Party Palace together with someone writing "Verosika Mayday seen going to Party Palace in Gluttony with unknown bunny kid. Is this the mystery L.L. we've all been hearing about?" beneath it. Lincoln briefly broke the fourth wall to talk to the readers. "Why does everyone keep thinking I'm part bunny?" he asks kind of annoyed. He then turns back to his date. "Does, this happen to you a lot Verosika?" he asked her.
"What you're seeing Linky is the downside of being famous." she sighed. "I mean don't get me wrong, I love the attention from being famous both down here and up top. But too much of a good thing back be bed and sometimes I get attention when I really don't want it." she told him before taking another drink. "Most of the time it's harmless stuff like people uploading onto their social media when they see me going to a mall I want to shop at or a restaurant. But then there are the really fucking creepy ones." she said with one of her eyes twitching. "Seriously, I've had humans and demons alike notify everyone on their accounts when I'm entering and exiting the ladies restroom." she told him.
The twelve year old had a very disturbed expression in response to that. "What? Why? Why does anyone need to know that?" he asked bewildered.
"Exactly!" she shouted before trying to calm down. "But anyway, I had hoped to avoid that for our date Linky but I guess I wasn't careful enough." she said glancing briefly at her friends.
They all looked a little guilty now. They may have wanted another chance to see Lincoln again but now they all felt like they ruined her date. "Uh, we're really sorry Verosika. We just-" Milky said rubbing the back of her neck.
"No no, it's fine." she said with an understanding smile. "I doubt any of you came looking for us with bad intentions." she told them.
"So can we join you?" Apple asked still hugging on Lincoln.
Verosika didn't answer but looked to her date. She wanted to know how he'd respond. "I mean I do enjoy your guys company." he said with a grin which earned him another hug from Apple.
"Well we are at the Party Palace." the popstar said with a shrug. "May as well enjoy a party with friends too." she said before winking at Lincoln again. Eventually some more chairs were brought to their table with Verosika sitting with Lincoln now and the rest of the ladies sitting around them too. "Now, you were going to tell me some more about your friends up top." she said before playing with a lock of his hair.
"Friends from school I take it?" Kiki asked him resting an elbow on the table and her chin in her hand.
Lincoln thought on it briefly but then chuckled. "I got a great story to tell you guys. One of the funniest things we ever did." he told them. The ladies all crowded in just a little bit more to hear it better as Lincoln began. "So something my friends at school do frequently once we're done is go to one another's places to hang out. And this day we went to my friend Stella's house." he told them. Each of the ladies wondered who this Stella girl was and wondered what her relationship with Lincoln was really like but they put that aside for now. "So school had just ended, we were in her living room enjoy a cup of tea during an after school chill session and watching a horse outside her window." he explained.
"A horse?" Apple asked.
"Yup." he answered. "It wasn't Stella's horse, it was her neighbor's horse and every time we went to her house we always saw this horse out in the yard doing what horses do which was graze and other things. So one day, just for a bit of fun we decided we were going to make this horse an honorary member of or friend group. We even gave him a name. Sean." he told all of them.
"Sean." Kiki said with her lips curling into a small smile.
"Sean the horse." he replied. "At first this started out as our own little in group joke between us." he told them.
-Flashback-
Stella walks over to her window and then gets really excited. "Guys guys! Sean's back!" she calls out.
They all run up to the window acting really excited. "Wow what a relief to finally see him again." Lincoln said getting the groups attention. "He's been so busy with all that work he'd been saddled with last week." he said with several of them giggling.
"Yup, nice to see him looking a lot more stable week." Liam joked which got several more giggles out of the group.
Stella just rolled her eyes before responding "Come on guys, rein it in." she said with a smile before they all started laughing.
-Present-
"Like I said, this all started out as a fun little thing between all of us." he said with several of them giggling at the jokes. Yeah it was stupid but they could see the humor in it. "But later these jokes came at the expense of other friends we have at school." he continued.
-Flashback-
Lincoln was chilling in the living room again and this time there were two other girls from his school there. Cristina and Girl Jordan. "Oh hey I didn't know the neighbors had a horse." the former said looking out the window.
"Yeah, that's Sean." Lincoln replied.
"The horse's name is Sean?" Girl Jordan asked.
"Yeah, Sean the horse." he answered.
"Okay so what do you think Sean's doing out there?" Cristina asked.
"He has terrible manners and doesn't..." he started before yelling out the window at the horse. "Flush the toilet after using it!" he shouts. The horse neighs back loudly in response. "Hey! She is not!" he yells. The horse just neighs again. "Don't talk about my Mom like that!" he yells again pretending to sound angry. The horse neighs once more. "Yeah yeah real mature. And what are you doing up this late anyway? Isn't it pasture bedtime?!" he asked with his hands on his hips. The horse neighs one last time and then trots off. "There's a smile." he says before turning back at the girls who looks at him funny. "He's actually really nice when you get to know them." he says trying not to laugh at his own joke.
-Present-
The ladies were giggling again before Verosika spoke up. "Lincoln that's really stupid." she said still smiling.
"But one day, we encountered a problem." he said getting their full attention again. "We went to Stella's house again after school and this time there were two horses and they were both identical." he said before tossing a few curly fries in his mouth. "Now chances are that there were always two horses but they were simply rotating them out in the field. We just assumed it was Sean every single time. Until now." he told them.
"So what did you all do?" Coco asked.
"We had a quick meeting about it and decided that we were going to make this horse a member of our little gang as well and we decided to name his Shawn." he answered.
This caused some confusion among the succubi. "Wait I thought the other horse's name was Sean." replied Apple.
"No you're thinking of Sean. The other horse's name is Shawn." he replied knowing he just caught her in the trap he just lay.
"I... I'm confused." Apple said scratching her head.
"Look up until this point we've been talking about Sean who's name is spelled S-E-A-N. But now I'm telling you how we met Shawn who's name is spelled S-H-A-W-N." he told her with a cheeky grin.
Now picking up on the joke, the ladies started giggling again. "Now you're just fucking with us." Verosika said chuckling.
Lincoln was chuckling too. "This worked wonders on future jokes." he told them.
-Flashback-
Once again everyone was at Stella's with Cristina and Girl Jordan there too. "Hey I see Sean's back." the latter remarked.
"Hm? No that's not Sean that's Shawn." Lincoln replied.
"Yeah Sean." she said nodding.
"No not Sean, Shawn. Sean hasn't been here in weeks." he joked.
"I... I'm confused." Cristina said tilting her head slightly.
"Look, that's not Sean. You guys met Sean last time you were here. That's Shawn." he explained with as straight a face he could.
That was when Zack and Rusty came up. "You guys talking about Shawn?" the former asked.
"No they're confusing Shawn with Sean." Lincoln answered.
"Oh yeah. Sean hasn't been here in weeks. But have you guys met Shawn?" Rusty asked them.
"Guys these jokes are getting ridiculous." Girl Jordan said sounding annoyed. "Can't Sean speak for himself?" she asked.
That was when Clyde pooped in to answer her question. "Sure he can. But only winnie feels like it." he joked.
That was when they finally burst out laughing while Cristina and Girl Jordan just face palmed.
-Present-
This time they were all laughing out loud at the end of that story. Suddenly the music changed and Verosika got all excited. "Linky! This is one of my favorites. Come out to the dance floor with me." she said eagerly grabbing him.
"But I don't know how to- Woah!" he said as she brought him out with her anyway.
Although he couldn't really dance the way everyone else could, he did his best and had fun with it none the less. But he was more focused on Verosika. Lincoln thought she was beautiful before but this time she was practically shining. The way the lights shown on her, her dance moves, the way her body flowed like water was almost hypnotizing. And Verosika herself knew he was thinking it. The way his eyes followed her movements and the blushing on his cheeks told her that he found her very attractive which was exactly what she was hoping. She couldn't be happier that he asked her out on this date because this gave her another chance to win him over. However that wasn't the only thing going on.
As soon as Lincoln, Verosika and her girls ran to the dance floor, a shady character hiding in the shadows who had been watching from a distance for some time finally made her move. She quickly strutted over to the table where the two were eating and more specifically to Lincoln's food.
-Imp City-
Blitzo was moving carefully and very slowly through dense jungle with his tranquilizer tracking Millie. Being an experienced assassin and tracker he knew he was hot on her trail. After passing through several bushes and walking from tree to tree, trying to remain hidden. And that was when he spotted her, probably forty or fifty feet off. He crouched down behind a log with his gun out and quietly and carefully turned off the safety before taking aim. But just when he was beginning to think that was was too easy he heard a sound to his left and turned to see Millie pear out from a bush with a deranged sneer and crazy eyes glaring at him. And behind her was a very disheveled, tied up and gagged Moxxie who groaned at him.
Millie let out a very feral growl while Blitzo realized that he was aiming his gun at a decoy she constructed to lure him into her trap. "Cleva gal." he said before she tackled him to the ground in vicious fury. Blitzo let out cries of pain as she savagely bit and scratched him like a cornered animal.
-Gluttony Ring-
Things seemed to be going smoothly at the Party Palace with Verosika chatting with Coco and Kiki off to the side. She just finished telling them a little bit more about her date. "No way!" Kiki said in disbelief.
"Ten sisters?!" Coco asked in shock.
"You heard that right." Verosika told them amused by their reactions. "Trust me, I didn't believe it either. But it's true, Lincoln has ten sisters. And before you ask, no. They're all full blooded, same parents. And the really cute part, Lincoln told me he is baby number six. So he has five big sisters and five little sisters, making him not just the only boy but the middle child of his family." she explained.
"Mmmm, his dad must be quite the fire brand between the sheets." Kiki commented with lidded eyes and a sexy smirk.
"Must be if he's really fathered eleven kids with one woman." Coco said intrigued by the thought.
Verosika decided to return to her table with Lincoln and continue their date. However she saw Apple and Milky there with him and their expressions were ones of concern and worry. And looking at Lincoln she could see why. He was panting and looking dizzy.
"Linky, is everything alright?" she asked with her smile quickly fading.
"Verosika? Is it just me or is it getting hotter in here?" he asked tugging at the neck of his shirt with his finger as though to cool off.
Lincoln are you okay? You're looking a little pale." she said sitting next to him and placing a hand on his forehead. "Satan you're burning up!" she freaked after feeling hos warm he was getting.
The rest of her girls immediately swarmed in when they saw how sick he looked. "I just... I just..." he said rubbing his head. "I need to go to the bathroom" he said excusing himself from the table and making his way to the men's restrooms.
The girls watched on with concern before Coco turned to their group leader. "Verosika what happened? Is Lincoln getting sick?" she asked.
"Must've been something he ate." Apple commented.
"No that can't be right." Verosika responded. "Queen Bee's food never makes people sick. I doubt it's anything she made for him." she told her.
That was when Kiki noticed something was off. "Wait a minute." she said before picking up Lincoln's soda. She dipped her finger in before tasting it. As soon as she realized that her suspicions were correct she spat it back out. "Linky's drink has been drugged!" she shouted.
"WHAT?!" the others shrieked in response.
Verosika tasted his drink as well and spat it back out in response when she confirmed that her friend was right. "Who would do something like this to him?" she asked sounding angry.
"Uh sluts?" Milky said getting their attention. "I'll give ya a hint." she said pointing to what she was looking at.
They all turned and too their horror they saw Lincoln being led away by another succubus. She was a tall red skinned demoness with black tipped horns and wearing hot tight black pants that hugged her hips and legs firmly, black high heeled sandals and a top that resembled cheetah spot patterns but left her back and midriff exposed. She had black hair that was styled in a pixie cut and some gold bracelets around each of her wrists.
"I'm sorry... who are you again?" Lincoln asked as he walked forward with her hand on his shoulder guiding him.
"The name's Cherry Baby Boy." she cooed and she hugged his a little closer to herself while they walked. "And I have had my eye on you since you arrived. Me and all my friends." she told him directing him to her own posse.
The boy in his confused daze turned to see five other succubi. One of them had indigo colored skin with her dark brown hair styled in cornrows. She wore a white tank top with navy blue jeans and high heeled sandals. The one next to her was a girl with magenta colored skin and blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. She was wearing a white tube dress with a black belt around her waist and black high heeled shoves with silk stockings. The last two resembled identical twins with both having slightly lighter red skin than their leader, white hair both styled in braids with one having her hair draped over her left shoulder and her sister the right one. Both whore white tee shirts and black mini shirts with stylish high heels.
"Wow Girl you were right he's a total cutie." said the one with the cornrow styled hair.
"Yup, you sure know how to pick em." said the blonde one with a hand on her hip.
The twins came up and greet him by getting on there knees to get a closer look. "I... who are you guys?" Lincoln asked he tried to focus.
"My name's Tammy and this is my sister Franny." said one of the twins.
"And you are simply the cutest thing we have ever seen." her sister commented giving his a pinch on the cheek.
"We're so happy Cherry brought you here. We can't wait for you to come back with us." the first one told him.
"Going with... where are we going?" he asked.
"Back to our place." Cherry said with a sexy smirk. "We're going to have our own little private party and you're the guest of honor." she told him.
"Mhm." said the brunette. "We're going to have so much fun tonight." she said looking at him the way a cat looks at it's prey.
"W-what kind of fun?" Lincoln asked.
"You're about to find out." Cherry answered. They then heard the sound of someone clearly her throat to get their attention and turned to see Verosika Mayday and her friends with their arms crossed and all looking rather displeased. "Well well well, Verosika Mayday. The one and only. What are the odds?" she said stepping up to the demon popstar. "To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" she asked with a smug smirk.
"Excuse me, but Lincoln is my date. What the fuck do skanks you think you are doing?" she hissed.
"Yeah, he was your date." Cherry replied with her hands on her hips. "But then me and my girls stole him fair and square. That's how the game is played. Didn't think anyone would steal a cute guy right out from under your nose did ya?" she asked in a teasing manner.
"Steal him?!" Milky snapped. "You're the one who drugged his drink with Satan knows what." she said pointing a finger at her accusingly.
"Drugged?" Cherry asked with a tsk tsk. "That's such a nasty way of phrasing it. All I did was slip him a little something to make him more, romantic shall we say." she told her.
"You mean make him do whatever you want." Kiki countered back.
"There a difference?" she asked back in a manner like she couldn't believe she even had to ask.
Verosika and her girls were absolutely disgusted by their behavior. They were not only stealing someone's date but they drugged him and were planning to take him away and take advantage of him. And now that they really thought about it there was a sort of irony to this situation as well but that was for another time.
"Give him back and walk away right now." Verosika warned as her eyes narrowed.
"How about no?" Cherry replied with her own pissed off expression.
"I wasn't asking." she hissed back through gritted teeth. Then to everyone's shock she shoved the diva back and nearly knocking her off her feet if it wasn't for Kiki and Apple catching their leader. This really got under Verosika's skin and now she was done being diplomatic. "You wanna dance bitch? Fine!" she growled.
And just like that the dam finally broke. Both groups of succubi clashed in a violent brawl with Kiki and Coco flying overhead in a two on two with the twin succubi from the other group while Verosika faced off against Cherry and Apple and Milky fighting the last two with Milky actually tumbling onto the floor with the dark haired one. The lot of them were shrieking at each other with lots of smacking, scratching and hair pulling. And this did not go unnoticed by the rest of the guests. Everyone else was watching now as the two groups of succubi were having a violent cat fight and Lincoln finally passed out and was now laying out on the floor while the girls fought all around him. But it couldn't last forever.
"Enough!" roared an angry Beelzebub. Everyone immediately stopped to see Queen Bee in all her demonic glory towering over them with fury in her eyes. "No fighting here in the Party Palace! This is Gluttony Ring not Wrath!" she shouted before shrinking down to her smaller size. She still looked angry with one pair of hands on her hips and another pair of arms crossed/ "All this negative energy has made the flavor of this party very bitter and that is not okay. And all this fighting will end up with someone getting hurt and start crying. Not cool." she lectured.
The succubi dead in their tracks immediately started pointing at their rivals and all at once said "They started it!" like kids in trouble with their parents.
"I don't fucking care who started it I'm finishing it!" she yelled. "Now, what the fuck is this all about?" she asked looking back and fourth between the succubi.
Verosika quickly ran up and lifted Lincoln up in her arms while he peacefully snored in her hold. "She drugged Lincoln's drink and tried to kidnap him!" she told her pointing at Cherry accusingly.
Queen Bee looked at other succubus with a very displeased expression. "Is that right?" she asked with the now nervous Cherry looking very sheepish. "Well that is definitely not okay. I'm fine with using drugs at my parties but the people using them need to be the ones doing so of their own choice. Sneaking drugs into other's food and drinks? Not cool sweetheart not cool." she said before clicking fingers on both her right hands. Her boyfriend and another hellhound who looked a lot like an English bulldog ran up and gripped both her arms. She then pulled out an old fashioned camera and snapped her picture before taking the picture and flying it over to a board and pinning it up then flying back. "And now, you're not allowed back here ever again." she told her before Tex and the other hellhound walked her to the door. She then turned to the others who were in her group. "Do you all want your pictures taken too?" she asked before they dashed off and out the door.
She then turned to Verosika and her group who were looking concerned for Lincoln. "I think I should take him home now." she told the Deadly Prince.
"I think it's for the best." she replied. "I'll call you guys a limo. Don't worry about money, I got you covered and don't worry about this getting out. I'll make sure what happened stays on the downlow." she promised.
-Imp City-
The next morning Lincoln groaned and woke back up and realized he was in the room that was provided for him by Blitzo when he came to hell months ago. He sat up then walked to the door of his room before entering the meeting room where he and his fellow I.M.P. employees would meet regularly and would see Verosika, Apple, Coco, Milky and Kiki all there.
"Guys?" he asked surprised to see them.
They all turned and looked relieved to see he was up. They all rushed in and crowded him to inspect him and make certain he was okay. "Lincoln are you okay? Are you feeling better?" Verosika asked him looking closer.
"Yeah I'm fine Verosika but what happened?" he asked her back.
"You don't remember what happened?" Milky asked him.
He shook his head in response. "I remember feeling really hot all of a sudden, then I got up to go to the bathroom and... that's it what happened?" he asked her.
The ladies did their best to explain what happened without trying to scare him. But they told him how some other succubi drugged his drink for less than noble plans for him and how things quickly got out of hand between both groups. And truth be told Lincoln was kind of scared after hearing that. After being here for so long he almost forgot that this is hell and in the same way how there are demons who're pretty nice like Moxxie and Millie, Stolas and Octavia and Verosika and her girls there were definitely demons who were malicious and wouldn't have hesitated to harm a young boy just for kicks. However he snapped out of it when he heard the alarm on his phone go off and realized what time it was.
"Oh crap! Guys, everyone will be coming to work very soon. I can't let the others catch you here or find out that what happened back in Gluttony. Especially Millie, she would be furious." he explained before running into Blitzo's office and coming back out with the grimoire. "Here, I'll open a portal back to Lust Ring that will take you straight home Verosika." he said before reciting the incantation and opening a gateway between rings.
"Thanks Linky." she said with a smile before grabbing her things. "Alright sluts, we gotta get going." she told them.
"But I wanted to spend more time with Linky." Apple said with puppy dog eyes and a frown that would break anyone's heart.
"It's alright Babe." Coco said hugging her from behind. "We'll get to visit longer next time." she promised.
"Maybe next time we can all have a private party at Verosika's." she suggested with a wink back to Lincoln.
"Alright guys we need to move now." Kiki told them.
Lincoln watched as they were about to pass through the portal and he couldn't help but notice Verosika's disappointed expression before she turned. He knew exactly what she was thinking and he wanted to make her feel better.
"Hey Verosika, wait a second." he said running up to her. She turned, smiled and leaned forward ready to hear what he had to say. What she was not expecting was for him to get up on his tiptoes and give her a quick kiss. It was only a peck on the cheek but it took her by complete and total surprise. Lincoln smiled up at her with a blush. "I'm sorry our date didn't end so well. But I really did have a great time and I hope we can go out again in the future." he told her sincerely.
The popstar demoness smiled from ear to ear, blushed and felt butterflies in her stomach from the sweet gesture. "I home so too Linky. Despite what happened I also had a lot of fun." she told him before turning and walking through the portal, swaying her hips which caught his eye. Exactly what she was aiming for.
She turned back to him once she crossed and just looked into his eyes and he back at her. She then briefly looked to the side and back at him as if telling him to look. He did and saw the rest of the girls with eager smiles too. He sighed and smiled already knowing what they wanted.
"Okay guys come here." he told them as they quickly lined up. First Apple leaned in for him. "Bye Apple." he said before giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. She giggled and ran off. "Bye Coco." he said before kissing her on the cheek too. She smiled and blushed before following her girlfriend. "Bye Milky." he said before kissing her cheek and she winked before following after the first two. "Bye Kiki." he said before giving her a quick peck on the cheek. Kiki giggled and waved goodbye before heading to the portal. Apple then leaned down to him and he was about to kiss her too when he realized what was going on. "Apple, didn't I already get you?" he asked with a finger wagging. She giggled and ran through the portal and as soon as it closed he was alone in the building. "Well, better get ready for work." he said before reentering his bedroom.
-Lust Ring-
It was mid morning now and Ace along with his fellow incubi Josh and Kat arrived at Verosika's place to get ready for their next assignment up top. But as soon as they entered they saw all five gorgeous succubi in a dreamy state all around the living room and they all groaned knowing exactly what this was about.
"Oh boy." Ace said crossing his arms and shaking his head.
"Good grief." said Josh crossing his arms and shaking his head.
"Here we go again." Kat remarked with an annoyed expression.
Now Verosika Mayday and her fellow succubi were no strangers to intimacy. All of them have been with others physically before. Boyfriends and girlfriends, humans and demons, you'd think that for demons of lust and desires sex and intimacy would be second nature to them. But this was completely different. All of them really liked Lincoln. Maybe even loved him. And for the first time he returned their affection for him. And he didn't do much really. All he did was give them a quick peck on the cheek and yet here they were acting like lovestruck high school girls having their first crushes. And quite frankly, the males of their species whom they've worked with for years now thought this was embarrassing.
"I don't get it. What's that snot nosed little brat got that I don't?" Kat asked with a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Unfortunately for him, this opened up an opportunity for his fellow incubi to rip the piss out of him. "I don't know, magic?" Josh suggested.
"A likable personality?" Ace asked with a mean smirk.
"You guys are fucking assholes." Kat hissed before heading to the open bar for some hard liquor.
Josh chuckled at that before wrapping his arms around Ace from behind. "Well he's not wrong, is he good looking?" he asked him with a naughty expression.
Ace laughed at that before turning to him. "You need to stop. We're at work now." he said with a wink.
Meanwhile Verosika and her fellow succubi who didn't even notice the boys were still in a state of dreams and bliss. "He gave us a kiss. Can you believe it Coco? I want another one so badly." she said with her hands on her blushing cheeks.
"I know exactly what you're talking about good looking." she replied hugging her from behind. "We have got to go on another date asap." she told her with a wink.
"We gotta do more than kiss next time." Milky said practically melting in the beanbag chair. "I wanna feel the warmth of his skin against mine. To taste his tongue in my mouth." she said as her wings started flapping rapidly from excitement.
"It's just not enough." Kiki moaned still trying to remember how it felt when he kissed her on her cheek. "I want more. I want so much more." she squealed before falling backwards onto the seat cusions.
"Easy ladies, soon enough." Verosika said regaining control of herself and opening up her flask of Beelzejuice and taking a quick drink. "Time is on our side. We'll get to have a real party with Linky soon enough." she told them as she put her drink away.
"But when Verosika? I know we agreed to play the long game like you said we should but for how long?" Apple groaned with anticipation.
"Apple, Lincoln is twelve years old. It's not a question of if, it's simply a matter of when, puberty hits him like a fucking bullet train." she said with a confident and sexy smirk. "You all know exactly what young human teenage boys are like when they feel that rush of hormones. Soon, he's be dying for relief. And when he's ready, we'll be there." she told them which got all of them even more excited at the very thought.
She herself really wanted him just as they did. But she knew that this was something that they had to wait for. And if there's one important lesson Verosika and her girls learned from the time they spent with Lincoln it was patience.
-Imp City-
Lincoln finished changing back into his business uniform with bowtie and all when Loona entered the building. "Morning Loona." he greeted the hellhound with a grin.
"Hey little buddy what's up?" she asked ruffling his hair before sitting behind her desk. "So, wanna tell me what this is about?" he asked showing him on her phone that someone spotted him and Verosika at the Party Palace.
"Uh yeah." he said rubbing the back of his neck. "I took Verosika out on a date last night." he told her trying not to blush.
"No shit!" she replied with a grin from ear to ear. "Accepted one of her invitations finally did you?" she asked him.
"Actually, I called and asked her out." he replied.
"No fucking way!" she said slamming her hands on her desk. "You got to tell me all about it. And how did you get Millie and Moxxie to agree to this?" she asked him.
"Well I texted them last night before I left. I didn't hear any objections so I assumed-" he started explaining before he was cut off.
The door to their meeting room was literally kicked off it's hinges and both of them turned to see an apocalyptically furious Millie enter the room. "WHERE'S MY BABY?!" she demanded with a fire in her eyes.
"Millie?" Lincoln asked kind of scared seeing her this angry.
However her anger immediately subsided when she saw that he was in the room and unharmed. "Lincoln!" she cried as she ran up and hugged him tightly before looking him over. "You're okay are you? She didn't do anything to you did she?" she asked with her hands on his shoulders.
"I-I-I" he said struggling to find his words when he noticed Blitzo and Moxxie enter the room.
Much to his confusion both were covered from head to toe in cuts and bruises and their clothes had rips and tears all over. "Don't ask." Moxxie said with a deadpan expression.
"Millie I didn't mean to make you worry." Lincoln said turning back to his demon surrogate mother. "That's why I texted you and Moxxie last night before I left for my date with Verosika." he told her.
"And that was very sweet of you Honey." she smiled before she crossed her arms and quickly adopted a more stern expression. "But you should've asked your Pa and I first before you left." she told him with a calm but serious tone in her voice.
"Oh for Satan's sake, Millie pull your tit out of his mouth and cut the cord. He's not a baby, he's twelve years old." Loona said looking into her phone.
"I don't need you telling me how to be a mother little missy!" she snapped back. "I'll raise my kids my way and you raise yours how you want to you bitch!" she shouted with a nasty look.
Loona didn't appreciate the insult and was growling in response. "Guys guys guys please the day is just getting started." Lincoln said coming between the two before something could start. "You're right. I should've asked for permission first. I'm sorry Millie. I promise, it won't happen again." he told her sincerely.
Millie quickly calmed down and was glad that Lincoln understood her concern. "Thank you Sweetie." she replied. "And how was your night out? I hope you had a good time." she said with motherly affection.
Lincoln didn't want to get Verosika in trouble by telling the whole story so he thought a little white lie wouldn't hurt. "Yup. Both of us had a great time. Had some good food in Gluttony Ring, danced a bit and I came home a decent hour just like I said I would." he told her.
"I happy to hear that Lincoln." she said giving him a quick peck on the cheek. "Makes me happy to know my little man is having a great time." she told him affectionately.
"Thanks Mom." he replied.
"Alright alright this has been very heartwarming." Blitzo said getting their attention again. "Now everyone shut your assholes and let's get to work we're on the clock. Today's gonna be a busy day so let's get ready for those clients to start rolling in. We got humans up top to off." he barked as everyone got ready for work again.
Lincoln inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. Despite how things turned out on his date with Verosika, he thanked Satan that it ended the way it did when it could've ended much much worse. And he once again couldn't believe that he was thanking Satan again. But Lincoln started pouring cups of coffee for everyone and not long at all a client entered so he made sure to have the grimoire handy for another trip up top.
[Author's Notes] Holy freaking crap I did not expect this chapter to end up as long as it did! I know this is supposed to be a one shot but this may very well be the longest chapter of any story I have ever written. But I'm glad it is done. And I had so much fun writing it. I've wanted to do a Lincosika short story inspired by "A Loud Among Demons" for awhile now and I'm really looking forward to hearing what you guys think of it. Again, I am not the one who deserves credit for this story. It is inspired by the works of TvFan2244 so all credit is due to the original author. But as always thank you all so much for reading my stories, please leave me a Review on what you all think of it and if you have any thoughts or ideas you wanna share please leave me a PM I enjoy talking with my readers.
