Chapter 20:

Pizza party

The front doors of the hazbin hotel swung open as Charlie and Vaggie had finally come back from the longer then planned monthly meeting from heaven, the princess greeting everyone with a cheerful "hiiiiii everyone" as the 2 of them held several stacked boxes, Vaggie chuckling at her partner's antics before adding "We were running late so we brought pizza"

"Oh fuck YES" Angel Dust excitedly spoke as he jumped up from one of the nearby sofas, popping all 6 of his arms out to help the princess and fallen angel carry some of the boxes into the kitchen.

"Where's Lute?" Vaggie couldn't help but ask as they began to open the boxes and identify which pizza was for whom.

"Her and Husky are in my room" Angel spoke as Charlie piped up, worried right away "Oh no, is she ok?" with a worried look.

Angel waved a dismissive hand "Don't worry, she's fine, just VERY emotional right now" as he singled out his own pizza, plus those for Lute and Husk "When you called her, it finally set in for her that Val wasn't gonna call her anymore and well, a few happy tears were shed"

as he stacked the 3 boxes, ready to take them upstairs "Some of the other guests suggested she come with them to celebrate. She thought about it, but chose instead to do it with me and Husky. We're gonna put on some comfy pajamas and watch a cheesy movie" earning himself a "D'aw" from both the princess and her partner.

..

A little later and the door of Angel's room swung open as he came in, triumphantly holding 3 boxes "I've come bearing a feast befit for a king!"

Husk just gave him a close eyed headshake, a smirk plastered on his face as Lute had gone to borrow one of the spider demon's onesies, which, of course, was WAAAAY too big on her, as she was currently pampering Fatnuggets, the little pet pig currently resting I her lap as he demanded belly rubs.

Splitting the 3 boxes between all of his arms, he handed off each one "Aaaaaaand here's yours sis" before plopping next to husk "Aaaand here's yours, Husky" before landing a sneaky peck on the cat demon's cheek.

"So…" Angel spoke up "Picked out a movie yet?"

Husk and Lute gave each other an awkward smile, which told the tall spider demon everything he needed to know "Couldn't pick?"

He would put his pizza box aside and get up, kneeling before the TV as he began to flip through his collection "Alright, what are we in the mood for?" as he would occasionally hold up a film "Are we feeling cheesy romance….maybe dumb action…..horror….or how about a super dumb, self-aware comedy?"

Husk chuckled "I'm feeling that last one honestly, hun" as he exchanged a glance with the fallen angel, who responded "Never really got to watch allot of movies as a soldier, so I'm honestly fine with whatever" as she scratched Fatnuggets behind the ear

Angel Dusk would be subtly chuckling as he slowly help up one last movie "How about this one?"

Husk's eyes went wide as a big smirk crept on his face "Monty python's "the meaning of life"….i think we got a winner"

The tall spider demon would eagerly get up as he got the film ready "Ok before I put this one on, Husky, ya GOT to show Lute their "dead parrot" sketch"

A few taps on the cat demon's phone later and Lute laid there, watching his phone, holding her own arms as she was trying to stifle a laugh at the absurd scene unfolding on the screen as the phone blared "THIS PARROT IS NO MORE…..IS HAS SEIZED TO BE….." as the 2 were hollering.

It had taken the fallen angel a whole 10 minutes of recovering as she dinked away a few stray tears from laughing "How do they come up with that? It wa so absurd" to which Angel replied "Exactly what makes it funny. Ready to watch an entire movie of that?"

Once the fallen angel had been given an idea of what she was about to get herself into, Angel had put on the film and the 3 of them were now sitting on the bed, chuckling amongst themselves as the movie played.

Once the movie had ended, Husk had decided to head out for a bit to grab them all some drinks as Angel asked Lute "Say sis, ever played "would you rather?"

Cocking her head to one side, Lute looked at him, squinting her eyes "What's "Would you rather"?"

"Oh it's a game" he piped up "Basically, folks come up with 2 ridiculous scenarios and then the question is which one would you rather do if you HAD to pick one"

Giving it some thought, the fallen angel eventually smiled "Sounds like it could be fun" at which time, Husk returned, with 3 steaming mugs.

"Uh, Husky?" Angel spoke up, curious to what the cat demon had come back with, to which Husk just chuckled "Charlie's idea. She thought hot coco would befit a setting like this, and honestly, she was onto something"

Angel and Lute couldn't help as they giggled to themselves as the tall spider spoke up "Ahhh, typical Charlie" before accepting the mug as he spoke up "Say Husky, perhaps wana play along a few rounds of "Would you rather"?"

Smirking to himself at his boyfriend's antics, he shrugged "Eh, I might throw in my 2 cents here and there. Why the hell not, could be fun" as he plopped onto the bed before retrieving his own mug from the nearby nightstand, at which Lute gave him a knowing grin "You poured a shot of alcohol in yours, didn't you?"

Closing his eyes, the cat demon just smiled as he stated "I can neither confirm nor deny that claim" as he took a healthy sip.

"Ight" Angel spoke as he got comfortable in a nearby beanbag chair "Let me think of a good one…." As he tapped his chin a few times "OOH, got a good one…alright, Husky, would you rather give up alcohol or having to eat Rosie's "cooking" even if once?"

Husk threw his hands in the air "What kinda question it that?!" tho he spoke it with a smirk as he threw a cushion a this face, before answering "But to be fair…I do eventually want to cut back, so….give up booze" causing a surprised "oh shit" from Angel.

Clearing his throat, Husk sat up as he spoke "Alright, got a good one, Legs, would you rather give up drag or give up on sex?"

"Give up either drag or sex? Ya kidding me?" Angel yelped "I'd rather guide my dad into my mom then to give up on sex….so…I guess the drag one?" Causing Lute and Husk to burst out laughing, both shuddering at the idea as Lute spoke up "Angel, EW, what the fuck?!" tho hardly able to contain her laughter.

Once the laughter died down, Angel would turn to Lute "Ok got a good one for ya, Horns, a nice and tame one to start it off" as he smirked, causing Lute to joke "Oh no, I know that smirk. Should I be worried?"

"So" Angel started " Would you rather kiss Cherrie…. oooooooor kiss Emily?"

The mention of Cherry Bomb did very little to Lute. Sure she thought she was attractive, but not at all her type. Too chaotic.

But once the seraphim of joy was mentioned, Lute's face broke out in a deeply gold blush as her eyes went wide.

"UHHHHHHhhhhh" she trailed off as her mind short circuited, causing Anger Dust to wave a hand in front of her face "Uhm…sis? Hell to Lute…ya there, Horns?"

Snapping out of this, she's glance away with wide eyes as she stumbled out "I…g-guess….E-emily…uh…y-yea…" causing Husk and the spider demon to exchange a knowing glance.

This little game would continue into the night as the 3 of them laughed and teased each other.

If you would have told Lute 5 years ago that she'd one day be spending her evening in hell, at the hazbin hotel, eating pizza in pajamas while watching movies with demons, one of which she'd consider like a brother to her, playing games as if she was at some "high-school sleepover", she'd have scoffed at the idea, but here, now, accompanied by these 2 demons, who were nothing but understanding and compassionate to her, even after her many failures and fuckups, she couldn't think of a better place to be….for the first time…..she felt….content…..happy…to just…be…
