Corrupted (Male Reader x Charlie) (BOOK 1)

Big Plans

                He slammed another glass down, then his head fell onto the bar as well. Y/N chuckled as Husk went down like he did every other night. Y/N picked up his glass and drank some more, enjoying the peace and quiet now that Husk wasn't drunk, rambling about Hell. However, Y/N couldn't stop thinking about last night, with how he helped Charlie. '

Man, well I still feel the same way about her so...' he thought, pulling a pen out from his pocket and grabbing a nearby napkin, one that wasn't stained with rum. He began to write out a plan, because all his thoughts wouldn't fit in his head. "Hmmm, let's see" Y/N said to himself, pulling out his phone to look at all the restaurants that resided in Hell. "Hell's Grill, definitely get beat up there. Lilith's, don't want to have a 'date' at a place of her mothers'" he said, writing the restaurants down and quickly marking them out, letting logic decide. "Then we got, wait McDonalds is down here?" he said, noticing it was like it was just another location for the fast food company. "Man, I can't just find anything" he said, shoving his phone in his pocket, drowning in defeat. Maybe he could make a dinner here. No he wasn't a good cook, yes he could cook but the options he could craft were very slim. But while slumped over in defeat, pushing the napkin aside. Y/N didn't notice the footsteps of someone approaching him, and while she stood above the defeated man, she also noticed the napkin, and put two and two together.

          "So, who did you find to take out on a date?" she spoke, and jolted Y/N back to reality.

"Huh? What? I'm not taking anyone on a date" he said, looking up to see Vaggie staring at him curiously.

"What does the crossed out restaurants and the disappointed look mean then?" she asked, sitting beside him, the only two in the lobby, besides a passed out Husk who had been loudly snoring through all of this.

"Ok, fine. I am planning on taking someone out but it is NOT a date" he said, pulling the napkin over and reading the list. Cringing at his desperate attempts.

"Alright, you can tell me who they are at least. I was kind of good at this" she said, giving her full attention to Y/N.

"Hold up, how were you good with planning a date or something along the lines of one?" he asked, not seeing Vaggie as the 'romantic' type.

"When you are the realistic one in a relationship, you automatically get that role" she said, remembering her times with her special someone.

"Ok, well it's....uhh" he began to say, afraid of her judgement. "Fine. It's Charlie" he said finally, anxiety quickly flowing within him.

"Good, if you said Angel I would have threw u-, wait WHAT?" she said, realizing what Y/N just said.

"It's just a dinner to thank her for everything she's done for me" he said, rubbing his arm.

"Ok, well, I used to date Charlie so this should be easy" she said and Y/N's heart stopped.

"Um, so you're ok with me taking your ex to dinner?" he asked, clearly confused with Vaggie's reasoning.

"Look, when Alastor first arrived at the hotel, I couldn't handle it and I got wasted. Then I became a sex magnet for that night and after that experience, I know what Angel feels like" she said, Y/N squirmed in pain, for her and for Charlie.

"So, we decided to break up because one of the first things we agreed to dating was we were going to be faithful to each other. And even though she was willing to let it be an accident, I persisted that we need to because in my heart it didn't feel right" she said, and the man she was confessing to was somewhat in awe. He had not seen this side of Vaggie before. He had only seen her with her guard up, dark and menacing. However, this more emotional side of her was nice to see. "So, we became non-biological sisters. I still care for her a lot, and she does the same for me too. I just couldn't bear the guilt after I did that. But from what I know of you, even though this is dinner, if you decide you want to date her, I allow" she finished, finished with reflecting on her not so long ago past.

"I mean, I have some feelings for her. But I'm not sure if it's permanent or a phase. But I would really appreciate your help" he said, and the two exchanged a smile. They began to plan a dinner, not a date, but a simple dinner.

         "So, Scarlett Moonlight is her favorite place to eat and I should take her there?" Y/N asked, confirming the information Vaggie had just given him.

"Yeah, and I'll book the reservation. Just break the ice with her a little bit. Then if you feel the same way. I say go for it" she said, satisfied with the final plan they had came up with.

"But it can wait, right? Even if I'm sure, I need the right moment" he said, throwing his napkin, scribbled with his failed plans into the garbage can.

"Yes you can wait, but you could do it on the walk home" she said, getting up from the bar stool.

"Thank you for the help Vaggie. Really it means a lot" he said, getting up as well and pushing the stool in.

"Any time. I can tell you want the same thing I do: see her happy" she said, and Y/N gave a quick nod. She headed into the elevator as it ascended to her floor. Y/N smiled, he had figured it out, with some help from Vaggie, the plan was ready. Dinner was coming soon. He saw it was a little past 1:30AM and decided to head to bed. He decided to take the stairs, in case he accidently called Vaggie down. He quickly jogged up the stairs, each board creaking with each one of his steps. He eventually made it to his room and took of his clothing and turned off the light. He laid in bed with a smile.

'Later today, is going to be something amazing' he thought as he drifted asleep. The fantasies and dreams of dating Charlie still danced around his mind, but those would be judged after dinner, if the love persists. Only time would tell as Y/N fully became asleep, and the hotel rested quietly, for the first time in a while.
