Tex watched as the pre-party raged on. Bee always knew how to throw a rager. Young, old, all hellhounds everywhere, even a few imps and succubi were free to party day and night until they dropped dead, literally in some cases. Sure, parties like this lead to a lot of hellhound pregnancies which lead them to the fucking pound, but Tex wasn't one to dwell on or fix a broken system. He was too professional for that.

Tex just hoped this was a good enough starter for a certain new friend he made, she should be here any minute now-"O.M.G." Some poodle girl's over dramatic gasp caught his ear. "Lunatic Loona? Back at another party?"

Oh, home girl finally arrived. He heard the chick didn't get out much, and between the beach and the kid's little tug of war stunt, Vortex figured he'd offer a helping hand. "Just... Loona …"

"Surprised you came after what happened to the last one." The poodle showed off a clip. He couldn't make it out from here, but it just sounded like a lot of vomiting.

"Why…. why do you have that…?" The girl growled… oooh, this wasn't going to be pretty.

"It's like, gives me joy." The poodle chick snickered. "You're supposed to keep things that give you joy… you'd know, if you were actually adopted." Oooh, low blow.

"Oh yeah, well at least I know you're a massive BITCH!" Aaaand now everyone was staring at her... great start Vortex, great start. "What!? It's true!"

"You can't say that!" Someone from a far distance shouted.

"Since when!?"

"Loooona, great to have you around!" Okay, play bodyguard, except you were the guardian of the girl's frazzled mental state instead of a popstar's. "Sorry about that, certain hounds… give off a vibe, that's all, we're all the same here."

"Oh, Tex, you're here." The girl wagged her tail. "I mean, of course you're here, you invited me here."

"Yeah... drink?" He offered.

"Sure, yeah, I'm down." She snatched it right up, taking a large gulp.

"Someone's brought their appetite tonight." Tex smirked.

"Oh, ah, sorry-"

"Don't be, girl, this is the ring of Gluttony, you want something in excess, you'll GET excess." Tex grinned as he gave her his cup of Beelzejuice. "Long as you keep the good vibes flowing, you can have as much as you want."

"Ah, yeah, cool …" She awkwardly looked around. "Sooo... what have you been up to?"

"Nothin' much." He shrugged. "Ms. Mayday hasn't taken many topside jobs lately, think it has something to do with your boss." That or she spent a lot of her time listening to the radio kid's broadcast whenever the boy's lovelife was brought up. "Which is cool, it's giving me plenty of time to dig back into my roots." Tex smirked, howling in the air. "Jobs are good, but there's nothing like being part of a pack."

"Really… I wouldn't know." Loona sighed. "Blitz is okay-ish, on some days, but other than that, it's just been me."

"What about the kid?" Tex asked as he grabbed a chicken leg. "Came here a few weeks ago to collect Beelzejuice, jaw strength on the pup's wild."

"Eh, I don't hear every broadcast." She shrugged. "How strong we talking?"

"Used a tree as leverage to out tug of war another hellhound."

Loona whistled. "Same age?"

"Nope, twenties. Sent the dog flying into a wall .. You can still see where they memorized it." He pointed to a frame around the imprint left behind.

"Wow, that is strong..." Loona's tail noticeably wagged a little faster. "He is a good kid, and he's the only one in the office that can make me drown out the idiocy…" She smiled fondly. "It's... almost fun when he's around, and he hasn't been around much due to him working at that lame hotel."

"Maybe you should have brought him along if you like him so much." Tex teased.

"Whaaaat, nah, I don't like him that much." Loona waved off with a slightly nervous chuckle. "He's got his life, I got mine, not like we have to always interact 24/7."

"Eh, true that." He nodded. "I do my own thing from time to time when my girl's busy partying."

"What, like all the time?" She asked with a snort. "What kind of hound can afford to do that?"

The lights dimmed down. "Hey there... pups and hounds, bitches and bastards... who's ready for a wrangler they'll never forget!?"

"Ow Ow Owwwwwww!!"

"Wait. Is bitch a controversial word here or not?" Loona asked as the crystal ball started descending.

"Like I said, good vibes." Tex nodded as he grinned to the ceiling. "Now keep your fur straight and your jaw open, the fun's about to start."

"Cotton candy, cotton ca— candy!" His girl kept herself in the shadow as the crystal ball descended.

"Who the hell is that?"

"Candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy."

"Beelzebub, the Queen Bee of Gluttony herself!" Tex grinned.

"Hey!" She shouted, blasting off the honey and showing off her gorgeous self. "I'm whatchu need, I'm watchu want. I got it all, a carnival." She flew down, making trails of sweet nectar as she moved.

"I'll bring you up, I'll take you down." Bee swung a hound around. "I'm sticky sweet, stuck in your teeth." And shoved some ice cream in his maw. "Like cotton candy."

The skies began raining down the sweet sugar as she sang out to the crowd. "Ah… sticky." Loona stated as she stared at the girl, shaking some of it off of her fur.

"Cotton candy!"

"Ah-ah, ah-ah." The hounds cheered on in glee.

"Cotton candy!"

"Ah-ah, ah-oh."

"She really likes her cotton candy..." Loona muttered.

"I know right, it's amazing." Tex grinned as he slurped down a pile of her sweet stuff.

"Cotton candy!"

"Ah-ah, ah-ah."

"I'm whatchu want! Not watchu need!"

"Ah-ah, ah-oh."

"Hey, I don't know why!" Bee stated walking around the dance floor, flapping her wings as she made the hokey floor, pink and red lights flooding the place with ecstasy. "I'm whatchu want! But it's the truth!" She ran up to a table with two hellhounds, and enlarged the food to be bigger than their heads. "I'm not your lie! Let them eat cake! Let them eat pie!" Only in Gluttony was it required to eat all the sweet stuff you could find. "Or better yet, let them eat cotton candy!"

The hellhounds began stomping their feet to the rhythm.

"Cotton candy!"

"Ah-ah, ah-ah!"

"Cotton candy!"

"Ah-ah, ah-oh!"

"Cotton candy!"

"Ah-ah, ah-ah!"

"I'm whatchu want! Not watchu need!" You ate until you were stuffed, not out of hunger, but out of pleasure.

"Cotton candy skies! Sweet as apple pie!" The girl flew around, her lava lamp-like body lighting up like a kaleidoscope and putting hounds into a state of bliss… or epilepsy, it was hard to tell with the wide black eyes being dilated. "I can't help but shine! Brighter than the starlight in the sky!"

"Cotton candy!"

"Cotton candy!"

"Yeah!"

"Cotton candy!"

"I'm whatchu want, not watchu need." She began strutting forward, creating a giant bone for the hounds to chow on. "So, watchu want?" Any desire would be given for the price of happiness and indulgence.

"Ya hungry? Take a bite!" She enlarged a piece of cake and stuffed it down one guy's mouth. "Get fucked tonight!!" Reaching to a couple, she enlarged another cups of beer and had them slurp it in one go.

"So, watchu want?!"

"Your Queen Bee brings the sweet stuff!" She shouted, jumping into the air as liquid energy swirled around. "So keep making me that motherfucking honey!" The nectar of happiness and pleasure every insect gave to the queen. "Yeah, keep it comin'!"

"She's… a lot.." Loona muttered as Beez made a little cup of hard punch into a swimming pool that had hounds foaming at the mouth.

"Cotton candy!"

"Ah-ah, ah-ah!"

"Cotton candy!"

"Ah-ah, ah-oh!"

"Cotton candy!"

"Ah-ah, ah-ah!"

"I'm whatchu want, Not watchu need! Cotton candy skies!" Glitter, sugar, and meth rained down as Beez flew all over, getting everyone high in ways they couldn't have ever imagined before. "Sweet as apple pie! I can't hеlp but shine! Brighter than the starlight!"

"Cotton candy skiеs!" The entire room sparkled with cotton candy and rainbow. "Sweet as apple pie! I can't help but shine! Brighter than the starlight in the sky!"

"So this is what parties feel like... sweet…" Loona muttered as she shook the cotton candy off her fur.

"The sweetest." Tex grinned as Beez started flying down towards them.

"Woooh! What a rush!" She shouted with a laugh. "Might have overdone the confetti though. I got a rainbow... in my vagina." Hilarious gal all around. "Ooh Vortex, is that the sweet little pup you've told me about?"

"Oh yeah. Loona, this is my girl Beez." Tex introduced them.

Loona looked on with wide eyes as she stared. "Wow…. She's hot."

His girl laughed at the comment. "Tex, why didn't you tell me she was a cutie AND funny?" Bee asked, giving the girl a hug. "You just say whatever you want and that's amazing."

"Is it?" Loona looked like she didn't believe it.

"Yeah bitch, I love that sweet no fucks given attitude. I'm all about not giving a fuck, 'cept literally when I'm fucking, unless the guy wears down and I litterally can't give a fuck." She went on. "I mean it happens cause stamina is a thing, but then I let him cuddle in my boobs, so that's nice." It was nice.

"Tex, you never said you were dating a Sin… I mean. I know you're, you... but..."

"I know, I just don't like to advertise." Tex grinned.

"But ya totally should babe. I mean, respect the humility schtick, really adds to the hotness, but a little advertising wouldn't kill you." Beez grinned. "Like, imagine how could you'd be as a bodyguard if the world knew you were fuckin a Sin."

"Pretty sure I'd only get hired for sex work if people knew that."

"So you'd protect them as you fuck them, best of both worlds!" It was sweet that she would allow it. "Anyways, new favorite gal pal, Tex told me you don't get out much, so I hope this little shindig is a nice little intro. Would've gone bigger for a hounds first party, but Belphegor locked away her party drugs. Which normally wouldn't stop me, but she changed said locks. A buzzkill, that girl." She rolled her eyes. "She calls me a total jackass… which is like the point. I'm Gluttony bitch, I'm supposed to be a total jackass."

"Yeah... party's... nice." Loona nodded slowly.

"Glad to hear it. Get some drinks, get some eats, and enjoy your time. It's all on me." She grinned, before lookin' off. "Hey fuckos, there's enough bones for everyone here! No need for blood drawing!" The queen flew off to her people.

"She's something, isn't she?" Friendly, inviting, welcoming, just all around cool. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that didn't like her.

"… This was a mistake." Loona shook her head, looking anxious. "I gotta get out of here."

"…..Alright." He nodded. Even for a small party, it was probably a bit much for a first timer. "You need a ride?"

"It's fine it's... sorry, I-I'm just sorry." The girl turned around and walked away to the exit, her tail sagging onto the floor.

"Don't be. Everyone moves at their own pace." He nodded, going back to his drink. Maybe next time he could make it a four to five people hang.

The drive was silent, very silent. Nothing but Blitz and the road as he went to go grab his daughter, and the silent breathing of the two people in the van. Two people... that had more in common than Blitz was willing to admit.

The kid was supposed to be a dumbass. Barely knew how sex worked, barely could walk without someone holding his hand. Yet in one night the brat read him like an open fucking book. Then again, maybe that was just the Verosika dump. Made sense, latched onto a boy cause he's a virgin, used the opportunity to insult Blitz with everything she knew about their dating life…

Not like she's wrong asshole. Blitz grumbled. Tomorrow he was going to have to face the music of who he thought were his two best friends, one would be severely disappointed in him and one that would kill him on sight… he wasn't sure what was worse.

Just... don't focus on it. Get Loonie back home, then you can lament about your life not being worth a breath. Quiet you.

Blitz parked the car up front, giving a text to let Loonie know he was waiting, and then stared out of a mirror. The kid was in the back, just crossing his arms and looking downwards, either still pissed off at Blitz or feeling guilty for calling him out... It didn't matter either way. The kid would be back at that shitty hotel and forget all about this. It was just another shity average day. One that the radio demon would praise, cause you were only good at ruining everything.

Loonie walked up to the car with a downtrodden look herself. "Sorry, Blitz, I just-"

"It's fine, it's fine." He waved off. "It's been a shitty night for everyone. Let's just head back home." Blitz just needed to crash. With no family, friends, or love. Cause you deserve nothing but death.

"Right..." Loona opened the door and got in, seeing Iruma in the back. "For you too?"

"… Yeah… just.. waiting for the day to end." Iruma sighed.

"Aren't we all?" Blitz grumbled as he started the car. "Now let's go home-"

"Hey Blitz!" Oh great, more of his fucking past coming back.

"Holy shit it IS him! Haven't seen that dude in years!" An imp and a hound walked up to the car.

"You um... know him?" Loona asked, perking up.

"Know him? Back in the day this dude was a party champ! Drinkin' juice like no one's business!"

"He's still like that." The kid blurted out.

"Watch it kid." Blitz growled. "Yeah it's me, and I'm just picking up my daughter-"

"You have a kid, shit, man it's been longer than we thought." The imp shook their head.

"Come on and grab a drink dude. There's plenty goin around." The hound offered a bottle.

"Can't. Taking my daughter home. Like I said." If he couldn't fix his own life, he could at least make sure hers wasn't fucked up.

"I mean…. Since you're here now..." Loona stated, her mood changing into the opposite, as she looked at him expectantly.

"Loonie, I love you, but tonight really, REALLY isn't a night I want to party …" He'd support her. But tonight just wasn't the night he was in the headspace for.

"Pleaaaseee Dad?" She wagged her tail and gave him the big, puppy eyes.

And he wanted to resist "….. Fine, just one drink." But he couldn't. Not for her.

"Is it ever just one drink?"

"Quiet kid or I'm locking you in the car and shoving it off a cliff." He growled. "You've already pushed enough as it is."

"Sheesh, how bad was tonight if you're threatening the bitch's kid?" Loona winced.

"You don't want to know." Though she probably would if any recordings were laying around. "Stay in the car kid, or don't, I couldn't give a fuck by this point." He got out, marching into the giant lightshow of the town.

"Well I'm hungry." The kid muttered as he got out. "And Gluttony has a lot of food last I came-"

"No way, it's the feral pup!" A group of hounds surrounded the kid as they hoisted him up. "His teeth are like steel!"

"I heard he ate a shark in one bite!"

"I heard he killed an angel!"

"I heard he made those shitty Vs explode!"

"Iruma!" The hounds hoisted him up and down. "Iruma! Iruma!"

"Wait, wait, I'm being taken!!" He cried out as the crowd hoisted him away.

"... So, guess he'll be doin' his own thing tonight." Better that way, Blitz wasn't in the mood to hang.

Iruma felt a bit... bad before they arrived in Gluttony. He thought he was just trying to get Blitz to realize how badly he treats everyone... so he pushed. Pushed more than he realized… every single time he called someone out, he always felt bad about it. With Emily, with Millie... given that Iruma had less of a connection with Blitz, he thought that would be better… but no.. it was worse…. A million times worse.

And because he pushed, Blitz exploded and revealed something he didn't want the world to know about …something Iruma couldn't relate to in the slightest for multiple reasons… he was the wrong person to try and help Blitz. He overstepped the boundaries and now Blitz was probably going to get worse. Maybe Charlie would have a better understanding of this, she was one of the few people he knew that actually liked their mom.

Then again that was tomorrow Iruma's problem, right at this moment, he had to deal with the pack of hellhounds basically tossing him inside. Gah, back still hurts when it was pressed too hard. Dang holy weapon. "I-uh-ah-appreciate the appreciation-ah…!" He shouted as he was constantly tossed up and down. "But I'd like to-ah-get down now!"

And like that, he was instantly placed down. Okay, good, now he just needed to group back up with Blitz and Loona and- "Oh chin up little bitch boy." He looked up to see a... strange, fox lady who smelled of honey and food, her stomach replaced with a lava lamp, smirking genuinely friendly. "Here, have a meal to cheer you up." With a snap of her fingers... and a hamburger the size of his head popped into Iruma's hand. He felt his eyes undoubtedly sparkled.

Best person here, hands down. "Thank you!"

"Hey now, no prob! Now let's light it up!" The fox lady turned away, flying in the air as the hounds howled.

"Food always makes life better!" In one bite, he ate the entire thing… "Best burger ever!" He cheered, his mouth salivating at the juicy textures and the warmness in his stomach. Aw man, why couldn't he be contracted by a demon that lived here!? "Aw man, that was amazing... why did it have to go so fast?" He looked around. "Is there a snack bar or a menu here?" He had money to pay for it… money and food; he'd almost assume he was in heaven if he didn't know any better.

Wandering aimlessly, he then walked up to hear Blitz's normal shout. "Come on, give me a real challenge!" He screamed out, drawing in Iruma to see him against the tall fox lady.

"Oh, a challenge eh? Well how about a juice off from the queen of Gluttony!" Queen... like a Sin? Asmodeus gave him mixed feelings when the guy was on stage. He was a complete jerk to Moxxie and Millie, and called out Stolas on his family. The closest he had to exposure from another Sin was Satina, who was just the kid of one, and he knew from experience kids and parents were very different things.

"Oh yeah! I'm gonna outdrink you from under this table!" Blitz tried to flip one over… only to fall on his back. "Ain't nothing stopping me now!" He seemed happy… and drunk… mostly drunk.

"Oh are you now?" The woman smirked.

"Um... excuse me." Iruma raised his hand, getting their attention. "Could you tell me where I could find a menu, or …?"

"Oh fuck. Kid, get the hell out of here!" Blitz shouted.

"Hey now, no bad vibes, it's all good, see?" The giant woman chuckled, before she snapped her fingers, poofing an entire plate of food into his hands. So awesome. "Now where were we, little imp bitch?"

"I was proving that the crown on your head is plastic, doggy bitch!"

"Oh, big balls for such a tiny little-"

"Yum." Iruma rubbed his stomach as he held the now empty plate. "Was that everything? Or is there a limit for the amount we can have?"

"..." She looked at him, this time more curiously, before snapping her fingers as more food appeared, this time not taking her eyes off him. "Go ahea-"

"More please." In a second it was all gone.

"… Oh yeah." There was a smirk in her eyes as she made a big grin, but for some reason he didn't feel like prey. "Hey Tex, I'm gonna take this boy and go wild. You fine with that?" She asked the tall hellhound.

"Sure babe. Whatever you need." The hellhound gave a thumbs up

"Hey wait, what about-!?" Blitz started to argue as the woman placed a hand on his shoulder-and they were in a lounge-like room looking over the party... no shadowy delay, no vortex... simply one place one moment, and the room the next. He blinked.

"Huh, I think that was the second smoothest teleportation I've ever been through." Iruma nodded.

"Only second? Damn I must be off my game." The fox bee lady chuckled as she sat down on a honeycomb styled couch. With the snap of her fingers came... a mountain of food. "Sit down pup." She patted the spot next to her. "Have a bite."

Iruma looked at the pile of food... and he salivated so much drool it could be enough to fill the Nile river. Some, small section of his brain however, was giving warning signals. Free food in an isolated room with an adult intently staring at him. A larger portion of his brain was saying 'free food, eat now'. "I can?"

"Pup, when I say eat, people eat." The lady chuckled. "One bite, two, how many you can-"

Iruma proceeded to block out everything as he dove in, packing in as much as he could carry and stuffing his mouth to his heart's content. "This is amazing!" After so many nights used to limiting himself, days where he could indulge were the best! "I've never tasted food this delicious before! Sweet, savory, every flavor in every bite!"

"Why make food if not to enjoy it?" She asked with a chuckle. "So, what's your name pup?"

Iruma stuffed his face with another handful. "Iruma Suzuki." He nodded as he swallowed, giving a bow. "And you're the Sin of Gluttony? Beezel-Beazel-beezel- ah-"

"Beelzebub." She chuckled. "No need to twist your tongue little pup, just call me Bee."

"Okay." He responded, chugging down a whole pizza. "Thank you Bee!"

"Pleasure's all-" She looked at the food... or rather, the lack of it. "Mine."

"Oh, was I supposed to share?" Iruma asked. "Sorry."

"No, don't apologize. Seriously don't, that was amazing." Bee looked over the room again, she made an amused huff. "Hot damn, I've never seen a demon eat beyond this. This was enough to feed six starving orphanages for six years."

"Yeah, you never know when you're going to get another meal, so I learned to pack it away for later." He explained. "Is it alright if I eat all this? No one else is going hungry?" Not that he WANTED to stop, but it would be rude to eat all the food at a party.

"Little pup, I'm the Queen Bee of Gluttony. There is no 'going hungry' in my ring." She snapped her fingers… and made the food ten times bigger.

"... AWESOME!" He grinned. "I've only met Asmodeus and Satina, but you're still the best Sin ever!" Unless Lucifer counted... meh, this was still better. His inventions were cool, but food was food.

"A Sin and a brat of a Sin. Someone's popular."

"You have nooo idea." He grumbled as he took a huge bite out of the mountain of food. "Strapped to a radio show where everyone can hear me and the people around me twenty four seven." Iruma pointed to his smirking shadow. "I'm either liked or hated with weird in-betweens."

"Pffft, tell me about it." Bee smirked. "Most days I'm surrounded by people that want to suck my ass for throwing these baller parties, which I totally don't mind, but then I'm ambushed by a bunch of buzzkills that blame me for hellhound orphans and I'm like 'do I look like a orphan owner to you? Chill and have a drink'. Crazies are everywhere. That's just the price of notoriety."

"… I mean, I guess I get that." Iruma wasn't sure how to take that, so he would slowly nod and forget about it. "What you do is always on you, and only you."

"Exactly, the power of free will, baby. Doin' whatever we want for whatever reason we want." The woman's smirk widened. "So, what kind of goals do you have?" She asked.

"Live." He nodded as he ate.

"... And?" Bee questioned.

"Well it was the only thing I could do since my parents kept using me for money, and now about five people own my soul. When I die I'll just end up right back here in hell, and the Radio Demon, Alastor, loves to watch me suffer for fun, so it's not like I have hope things will get better. Unless Adam comes and kills me personally for killing an angel. Then it's lights out forever." He shrugged. "Just take in what small joys I can get, and make it to the next day. I have a well paying job, supportive friends, and a bed to sleep in… really asking for more is only going to get me into trouble. "

"Boooooo." Bee howled with a smirk on her face. "That's so mundane and typical. Literally any fucker in hell could have that."

"I mean it's already a LARGE step up from my old life. Five months ago, the idea of a friend was such a foreign concept that I kind of acted like a weirdo and just cried when Loona said I was her friend." He nodded. "I lived off of twenty cents a week from multiple foreign jobs. I didn't have love, or anyone …"

"But you do now, right?" The Sin stopped him.

"Yeah, it's still so weird and fun, but it makes me happy." He grinned as he took a bite.

Bee moved forward towards him. "And don't you want more?"

"Of course I WANT more but..." If he pushed too hard, would it just... go away?

"Then that's it." She pressed her finger on his mouth. "There's no ifs ands or buts about it. You want more? Then get more. Gluttony is all about never being full or satisfied with what you have. There's always more to consume."

"But I literally can't, my contracts-"

"Contracts, shmuntracts, do you know what they mean in the long run?" Beez grinned. "Absolute dick. So you got a little bind on your soul, so what? Did that stop you from being happy? Did that stop you from feeling good, eating well and gettin' bitches?"

"... No …" He blinked. "Although I don't own any female dogs …"

"Pffft, you're too cute, you know that?" The Sin laughed. "Anyways. Main point, why is it gonna stop you from getting happier?" Bee smirked. "Why the fuck can't you get better?"

"... What if... I push too hard and it all goes away …" Blitz already lashed out cause he pushed too hard …

"Better question, what happens if you don't push at all." Bee grinned. "If something is yours, you grab it, hold onto it, you never let it go. Being half hearted as you are right now will only get you so far. Sure it feels sweet, like a tiny bit of meth or sugar, but eventually the high fades... but it doesn't have to." She grabbed him by the hands gently-Huh, they're also warm. "Gluttonous souls like ours are always feeding. Always wanting more and more. And we don't wait on others to give it to us. We take it for ourselves."

"I… I can take it… I can take what I want..." He looked at his hands, thinking deeply.

"When you truly put your all into it …" She handed him a bottle of juice. "You'll never run out... that is, if you're willing to struggle and put in the effort."

… Never running out... always getting more... more happiness and food... "I've struggled all my life… What's a little more?" Iruma smirked.

"Good... cause the next part is going to require you drinking a lot of this sweet honey." She offered him another mug.

"Oh sweet, I rarely get to eat this stuff, never had enough protection from bee stings." He smiled, chugging it down.

"Oh it ain't that kind of honey." … Huh... why was... the world so... "But trust me pup, this little trip is gonna be WELL guarded." Bee's sMilE…LoOkS sO swEEt…

Loona laughed as she hung out with the group that apparently Blitz knew. They were a nice medium to help her ease herself back into the party so she felt less alone… although maybe it was because the hellhound of the group was kind of hot. "So then the crazy chick decides the best way to get rid of fleas was to set herself on fire!" Loona explained one of many stories she had saved up from the office. Her time listening to other demons' shit had finally paid off.

"Oooh fuck. I knew Sinners had a few screws loose, but come on!" The hunky hellhound (to which she admitted there were a lot of them around here, oh Satan she was swimming), howled with laughter. "And you got all that just from sitting around? That's like, a dream job or something."

"What can I say, the imp who got me is waaaay too clingy for his own good." She snickered. Sure Blitz was getting drunk off his ass, but that was the whole thing here."What about you man? I'd say you work at a gym, but I don't wanna assume just cause of the muscles?"

"All natural." The hound cackled. "And nah, for us hounds that live 'round Gluttony, you do odd jobs here and there and then party the rest of the time, unless we get bought out/rented by those with enough dough."

"Rich, the bane of all life." She chuckled. "You know, besides Bee!" Loona had mixed feelings about the Sin, the least of which being she was dating Vortex and made Loona feel out of place…. But that wasn't an issue anymore that she had to think about.

"Ow. Ow. Owwwww!" The hounds around her agreed.

"Oooooooowwwwww!" She howled herself. For once, she actually felt good about being a hellhound. She didn't feel like a commodity, a placeholder, or something to stare out... she just… felt like herself. It wasn't until recently when she met the kid did she know what that felt like… where was Iruma anyways …

"Look who decided to stay after all." She heard the voice of Vortex pop up behind her, smiling in relief. "Girl found her pack, it seems."

"What can I say, got introduced to a more chill crowd." Loona shrugged. "I mean, your girl's nice and all, but she's also …"

"Fifteen packs of ADHD and twenty gallons of sugar in her blood?" Vortex raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. Shit; don't mean to dunk on her..."

"It's cool. Beez just moves at her own pace and speed, and that speed is random no matter what." Man this guy was still so charming and yummy looking-fuck! Don't get horny. You had other avenues now. "Once she gets started on something, there's really no stopping her."

"Yeah." She nodded. "Haven't seen her around since dad tried out drinking her." Totally rad move.

"Oh, she took the radio kid to her private lounge for somethin'." Vortex explained with a shrug, drinking his beverage.

"She what?" Loona blinked.

"Yeah, she took him in after seeing how much he could pack it in food wise." Tex smiled. "Honestly I think he downs food better than Bee, but don't tell her I said that."

"... Fuck." She groaned, putting her drink down. "I need to grab him."

"For real?" Tex blinked. "I know Bee's a bit much but-"

"No, kid's a doormat with a lot of issues. You gotta understand them or else you'll make him do something he'll regret." Loona groaned. "And I trust you when you say your girl's good, but she's a Sin, and I doubt even she'd deny someone who's soul can be taken multiple times."

Tex opened his mouth... then closed it, now deeply pondered. "You know, I never really saw her deals before... she usually does that stuff out of public eye's view."

"Fuck." Loona groaned. "You know where this lounge is?"

Tex helpfully gestured a direction. "Far off back. Biggest door in the building, you can't miss it."

"Thanks." Loona patted his shoulder (seriously, the muscles on all these hounds were crazy), before beginning her trek. She saw the sights around her, drugs, drinks, food, just partying and indulging... seriously, Gluttony was just the fucking best. If it wasn't for the queen being more focused on setting up the next parting instead of cleaning up the last, it would have been paradise.

But now she was stuck playing babysitter again, a role she gotten used to when looking after Blitz... but something she didn't mind when it came to the kid. She meant it when she called him her friend, it could be argued he was more suited to being a dog than she was... which was what was fucked up about it.

The kid was too innocent for this shit, and nice, and had great hands on him and he never annoyed her-gah! Why did she always feel weird and warm whenever she thought about this for too long?! He was a fucking brat! A kid! Loona was a twenty two year old woman who was into muscle bound guys! He barely understood sexuality as it is!

Shaking her head, she finally made it to the door and pounded on it. "Iruma, if you're in there, get out before you fuck things over for yourself again!"

"Oooooh, Looo looo! Come on iiiiinnn!" He responded with a giggle. Wait-

"What the-" She took a big sniff in the air as she opened the door, the sight right before the hellhound made her eyes widened. "Oh fuck you're drunk." This wasn't one glass like that Husk guy gave him. This was ten extra large mugs in.

"I'mmms not drunk. I was just drinkiiin-hick-honeeey." He chuckled with a flushed face. "Sweet, sweeeet honey."

"Careful pup, this next part's gonna sting!" Beelzebub grinned as she held up her hand, her nails extending longer than before... "But it'll be SO worth it in the morning!" And drove it into his back.

"Hey, what the fuck are you doing!?" Loona tried to charge in, only for the Sin's extra arms to stretch out and block her. "Don't you dare make a deal with him!"

"What? Nah, that's not what I'm doing to him at all, bitch… it's way better than any soul deal." The bitch chuckled, pulling her arm out of the kid.

"Oooooh, my back's stiiingy, like a bee sting. Ooooh, Bee stings with bees." Iruma drunkenly rambled. "Heheheheh, sweet bee with sweet honey… so much sweetness in the air... can I eat the air?"

"Only if you try hard enough." The bitch grinned as she helped him stand up.

Loona immediately pulled him away and held him back, glaring. "What the fuck kind of game are you playing here?"

"A reaaal fun one!" She laughed. "I haven't been this excited in centuries!" The Sin cackled, cotton candy and honey spewing out of her hair like a volcano. "Your little friend here is the most gluttonous soul I've ever seen. Like. Wow, the kid is one heck of a little eater. Talked to him a bit and learned he needed a little push, so I pushed him."

"By getting him drunk?!"

"Naw, the beelzejuice was just to numb the pain and make the changes a lot more smoother." The sin grinned. "Besides, he's happy and way more relaxed. He's walking without that limp." Wha-!?

"I can totally walk!" He jumped into the air, stumbling. "Straight and narrow... if only the world wasn't sideways."

"And you just healed him out of the kindness of your heart?" Loona asked with a tone of disbelief.

"I'm gamblin' bitch!" Bee cackled. "Today, is, the day, OF PARTYING!" She screamed to the sky.

"Yeaaah, partttty." Iruma started to fall, so Loona grabbed him. "Ooooh, Loona …" The boy giggled. "Yooou so fluffy... fluffy fluff fluff …"

"Kid, get a grip, we're going home." Loona held his face.

"Fluffy and soft... yoooous mean a lot to me." He placed his hands on the back of her head, pulling himself closer-

Smooch

!!!

He... he was kissing her... "You taste sweet... like honey and meat... hehehe …" Her eyes remained wide as dinner plates. This, this….

This felt good… it didn't feel right, but it felt good... and that was more than enough for Loona. She gripped his head tightly, pushing herself forward. "So… sweet..." She whispered, closing her eyes and tilted her head as she let her tongue slip into his mouth, dancing with his tongue. With Iruma's. The concept of it made her sucking him harder, moaning as their mouths deepened to one another.

Her heart was racing, her body was tingly, this was beyond amazing. It felt like bliss as she kissed him... kissed Iruma... drunk, confused, and taken Iruma... fucking hell. Her eyes immediately opened and widened, she pulled out of his mouth with a gasp, taking a breath. He giggled, flushed deep red. "Coooooome on Loo Loo... I don't need aiiiir. I can't eat it."

"Fuck fuck. Shit, what the fuck did I just do?!" Loona grumbled. This was wrong on so many levels!

"The kid took my advice and started taking what he wanted." The bitch cackled, her big smirk filled with great glee. "And you definitely were taking a bit of what he had to offer…. And loving it too, going off the sweet energy you just gave off."

"Fuck off!" This was NOT what she needed right now. "Come on Iruma, we're getting Blitz and going home."

"Yessss Loooonnnaaa." He giggled as she placed him on her shoulder. "Weeeeeeeeeee, fluffy ride! Stars spinning…. Air tastes so yellow… possums dancing in the sky."

"Fuuuck." Millie was going to kill them in the morning.

"Come back any time boy!" Bee hollored to the two of them as they left the room, waving her lower right hand at them while pumping up her upper ones with peace signs. "YOU ROCK!"

"I rock..." The kid giggled. "But I'm not rock... I'm all fleshy and breakable… what kind of rock would I be?" Iruma asked nobody as she carried him off.

"Great, she fucked you up real bad." Loona groaned. "Blitz better not be hard to wrangle up."

"Alright boys, let's get all five of those rounded up my ass right here!"

"… I am too sober to deal with this shit." Loona grumbled, using her sheer will to ignore Iruma's lips on her neck.

Iruma didn't feel pain. He felt itchy. His whole body was itchy. And what made it feel better was fluffy. Thus, logic dictated he must cuddle the fluffy woman next to him. "Like a furry forest… smells like lilac." Iruma smiled as he hugged the fluffy fluff wolf lady... Loonloon or something, his memory was working a bit fuzzy. "So fluffy and strong. You have really nice musscymuscles."

"Hands... above the waist... mister …" Blitzy groaned as he looked super dizzy. "Looonies…. Too good… for you.."

"I know… I'm not good for anybody…" Iruma muttered as he nuzzled his head into her the fur. "People cares bout me ands I don't knows why theys do." It was crazy. "People are weird… you can care one day and don't the next… so weird.."

"Cause people are shit-shit-doo doo.." Blitzy burped.

"They-they are …" Iruma gasped. "We should have a... a no people party."

"Yeah... yeah, fuck people…. Fuck them in a no baby making way..."" Blitzy agreed. "We can... set the peoplessss on fire!"

"Fire… light them in the sky and get fireworkszx pretty sky flowers exploding in the red night…" Sounded amazing.

"Of course you too are buddy buddy when you're drunk out of your asses." Loona groaned as she kicked the door down of the apartment.

"Pretty pictures..." Iruma looked to the wall, seeing frames of all his family... and blinked at something weird. "Bad scribble monster is eating Blitzzxxxx's face..." he pointed out.

"I had to scribble out the moonnnnster." Blitzy answered, half-glaring hard at the monster in the pic. "His face... his face was everywhere."

"I don't have the time or patience to unpack this." Loona sighed as she placed Blitz on the couch. "You alright dad?"

"Agggh… I had such a shitty night… Fizz was right about me…" Blitz cried as he curled up on the couch. "I'm going to die alone… alone.. just a crusty bitch..."

"That's... stupid …" Iruma grumbled. "Dying is stupid …"

"We all die kid... we all have to die sometime …" Blitzy said. "I'm just gonna die cause no one lovvesss me."

"…I like you…" Iruma muttered. "Don't know… bout love… but… I do like yous and stuff…"

"Liiiiiar." Blitzy grumbled. "You saidsss you hated me be-" He held his mouth. "Before... we left."

"I saaaays you a bad person… never says I hated…" Iruma muttered. "Only peoples I hate be parents and Alaforterr…. You… you love Looo loo… you better than most..." He hugged the fluffy girl. "Whats ssaaaays you?"

"I say you two have had too much to drink." Loona sighed as Blitz grabbed her arm.

"Will you be there Loonie…"

"Where?"

"I don't know... there.. in the place where I'm dead…maybe.. I absbabwk.." Blitz muttered incoherently as he closed his eyes. The fluffy woman stared at him quietly.

"I'll be there dad." Loona sighed as she placed a blanket on him. "Now go the fuck to sleep." Loona looked at him. "You're not going to let go anytime soon, are you?" Her shoulders sagged.

"Can I sleep with you Loo loo... so fluffy …" So fluffy it was funny.

"... Welp, not like I can let you in Blitz's room…cause he doesn't have one... what if I let you sleep on the bed, and me the floor?"

"Then you'd be saaaad." Iruma didn't want his friend sad. "Oooh, what if-if we tasted each other?

"What the fuck-what did that bee bitch say to you back there?" Loona glared.

"Thhhhhat I should eat the stars and takes what I want." Iruma smiled. "And I wants you cause you make me happy." Cause she was nice and soft and it stopped the itching. "You've first friend…. You special…" He nuzzled his head harder into her neck. "Can't… can't imagine life.. without you.."

Aww, her face was all super cute being that red. "… F-fine, but just sleep, nothing weird, and no kissing."

"But you kiss taste good.. food good.. good night night."

Beelzebub cackled as she took a sip of the nectar in the air. "Oh, I'm so glad the mood's still strong and proud." Party always going strong, and that happy juice was flowing up as her favorite meal.

"Yeah, I'm surprised." Tex noted. "You're usually not that far from the party."

"Eeeh, what can I say, I saw a fire and knew it meant to be nurtured." To grow up strong and proud... oh the beautiful things she would find at the end of that pup's growth. Tonight was the start of something fuckin' incredible. "Top offs for everyone!" Bee screamed out, throwing beelzejuice and cotton candy through the air.

"You seem excited." Tex added. "All that from one hungry kid?"

"Ooooh yeah. Should have seen his eyes. All that drive buried deep down... as soon as he sees what he can get, all of hell's gonna be shakin', let me tell ya." Bee cackled. "And I'm not talking about overlord level shit, I'm talking about breaking down and smashing the foundation where it stands."

Bee wasn't a complicated gal, she knew that and everyone she knew knew that. It's why she kept the party going for practically the beginning of Hell. There was no need to change things up because nothing new came along. Everyone was happy with how the party went along, and she was able to keep the honey flowing with the same delectable taste.

But that boy... oh that pup, he had a hunger.. a hunger that could outdo her own. Such a unique and fascinating flavor of energy and gluttony that she's never tasted before, nothing of that intense magnitude. Not from any greedy sinner or any angry imp... it was quite frankly, a beautiful little seed. And she couldn't wait to watch it bloom.

"I guess it's a wait and see type shtick then." Tex muttered as he sipped some of his drink. "So, I'm already ten cups in. I'm gonna head into the sack. See you when I wake up?"

"Nah, I need to explain somethin' to the pup. Till then, I'll be partying." She smirked. "Let's celebrate bitches and boy toys!" Bee shouted with a cackle as he walked away. "Start the fireworks!"

BOOM

The front doors blew off their hinges, flinging into a hound. "I already got launched by the tug a war... why …" He groaned in misery. Good thing the alcohol numbed the pain.

"Where is he!?" A shroud of feathers covered a small portion of the room as four dark red eyes glared at her.

"Ooh, a goetia. Don't see many of you prissy types around here." Bee smirked. "What brings you to the party, little birdy?" She asked, completely unphased by the fear in the atmosphere as everyone ran into a corner. Seriously, were they hounds or scaredy cats?

"What did you do to Iruma Suzuki!!?" The bird formed into a more solid and owl like look.

"Sorry bitch, ya just missed the blue haired boy. He went off with his girl and the red imp." Bee pointed in a general direction.

"I'm his girlfriend."

"... No shit." She blinked. "Good for you, you should have seen the guy, oof!" She flapped her hand to her face. "He's wild when he's hungry." Bee noted, grinning. "Although could have sworn he was more into the wolf chick with how hard they were frenchin'."

"You got him drunk!"

"Well yeah, who comes to my parties and goes home sober? That's like, the ultimate party fail." Beez snickered.

"You lured him away from public view, got his guard down, and manipulated him!"

"Cause I wanted to get to know the little guy." She giggled. "So real talk, how do you know all this but not where he is right now?"

"Because every fucking word he hears and says is broadcasted all over Hell!!"

"Wait, you mean all of hell was listening in... wow; that kid... that pup just gets even crazier. Did I strike the lottery or what on that?"

"Do you seriously think this is some sort of game!?" The bird shouted. "You poisoned him!"

"Won't be poison for long." Bee chuckled. "Trust me, head to his place in the morning. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. If not, I'll give you one free deck to the face."

"What… did you do to him!?!?"

"Oh, nothing much." She shrugged. "Your boyfriend is just going to be the next ruler of Gluttony."

The entire party stopped as the record needle scratch sounded. "... WHAT!!!?"
