A few hours had gone by and I had grabbed a spare chair and sat with Loona at the front desk, she had her head on my right shoulder and we just talked, we talked about our interests like favorite songs, bands...memes even. But we also talked about our personal lives and how we grew up. I told her about Birmingham and how it was rough as shit and how I was a social outcast with no friends.

Loona then told me about how she grew up in an orphanage for Hellhounds, she told me that usually those seeking protection or just an employee would come to the orphanage and adopt them. She wasn't adopted until she was just about to turn 18. She told me that Blitzo absolutely adores her and she does too but can seem like a bitch because of how she was brought up, she went by this rule for most of her childhood "Never show weakness or they will walk over you" even though she knows that she can trust Blitzo and the others she doesn't want to appear weak so that she wouldn't have to fear what could happen if she let her guard down.

I felt really sorry for her and even after she said it she didn't even look at me as if she was ashamed of it or something, So I did the only thing that felt natural. I comforted her. I wrapped my arms around her and said "There is nothing wrong with letting your guard down every once in a while, you have nothing to prove to me or the others. You're letting your guard down even with me now". Loona sniffles and looks at me with a teary eyed smile and then plants a brief kiss on the lips before parting and saying "Carter...Will you be my boyfriend?"

If I didn't feel my heart go literally a million miles an hour I must be dead...oh yeah wait that's right I am dead, but in that moment I felt SO FUCKING ALIVE! I must have had the biggest smile on my face as Loona began laughing and then said "So I take that as a yes?" I then blurted out "Of course I fucking will!" and I hugged her, once we depart from each others face she then had a serious look on her face and asked me "Do you promise to keep our relation ship a secret for now?" Confused I asked "Sure but why?" to which she responded "Because I don't want Blitzo, Millie and Moxxie having anything to do with it at least not yet" I smiled understandably and said "Sure Loona" She smiled and said "Thanks Carter".

Next thing you know a portal appears from the ceiling and Millie and Moxie land gracefully hand in hand and then followed by Blitzo who landed in a scorpion position and grunted before getting up. Blitzo, Millie and Moxxie instantly noticed me and Blitzo was the first to say "WHY THE FUCK IS CARTER HERE?!" I stood up calmly and said "Believe it or not you three but I am dead, and before you ask me about my appearance. Yes I still look the same but as you will notice my complexion is much paler and now I have red eyes instead of brown"

Blitzo squinted at me and then asked jokingly "So let me guess you want revenge in the one that possibly killed you right haha!" I laughed and then said "No I actually was hoping to talk to you about the open job position" Blitzo smiles and excitedly yells "Welcome to the family!" and hugs me, which made me uncomfortable as well as made Loona feels slightly awkward. I push him off of me and said "So just like that...I have a job" Blitzo nods his head and said "Yes sir and before you ask no you're not going to be an assassin like us three...you're going to be another receptionist like Loona"

Loona and I's faces instantly lit up at the idea that we would be able to spend more time together and then Blitzo said "I also need  someone to look after my Loonie Toonie because I'm beginning to feel that she is lonely working here by herself when we're out". I tried so hard not to laugh at that and I turned around to see Loona glare at Blitzo with an eye twitching "I DO NOT NEED A FUCKING BABYSITTER WHILST YOU ARE GONE!" Moxxie then began to laugh and then said towards Loona in a baby voice "Awe someone is being a wittle cranky some one might need to have their afternoon nap". Loona then roared with anger and through her ceramic coffee cup at Moxxie but he ducked as it broke on the wall behind him and he cowered behind his wife Millie.

Blitzo laughed and said "Yeah don't mess with my Loonie she will cut out your guts and shive them back in up your ass, Well I better call the client to tell them that  guy is so dead that he is probably a ghost wondering what hit him! btw Carter well killed a guy with a piano, funniest shit I have ever done" Blitzo went into his office and Millie and Moxie went home for the night leaving just Loona and I alone in the room. When I thought out loud "Wait where am I going to sleep? I just arrived in hell" Loona blushed and twiddled her hair and said "Well if you want to can sleep in my bed since you now...we're dating...secretly" I looked at her and smiled and I waked over to her placing my fingers under her chin and whispered 'I would love nothing more than to sleep next to my girlfriend". Loona's tail started wagging gain really fast which made me snort a little, Loona blushed a little and lightly punched me in the arm and said "Shut up!"

Loona then led us to her bedroom, it was a purple colored bedroom with a black framed queen sized purpled bed with a black spiderweb pattern on it, she had some posters on the wall of either actors/singers from hell that I don't recognize yet and a bedside. Loona closed the bedroom door and then walked over to the bed and pulled down her short shorts and shirt revealing an unexpected color of panties  and bra...Pink. I stared at he, if she didn't look beautiful beforehand, she looked even better in just a bra and panties, she looked over and me and saw my face which made her smile and say "You do know that we're dating right?" I said causally in response "Yeah I know I just would have thought that I would start dating someone and get to sleep in their bed this early on heh".

I then started taking off my clothes, first I took off my black Chelsea boots, then the black turtleneck and then my black skinny jeans and I neatly folded them on the bedside table on my side of the the bed. Which left me in just my pair of navy blue underwear. I opened the covers and got into bed and that was when Loona scooted over to me and planted a kiss on my cheek and laid her soft furry head on my shoulder and said "Goodnight babe" before closing her eyes, I smiled and kissed her head and said "Goodnight Loona" before turning off the lamp beside me with my free arm.
