Helluva Boss: Ink Edition

A Royal Evening

It was an hour past closing time, and Blitz and Bendy were leaning on the side of the imp's apartment building, the tall imp holding the grimoire, mentally preparing himself with the help of Bendy for his once-a-month "passionate fornication" with Stolas. The full moon was upon him once again, and yet he was still far from ready; time seemed to be flying by faster and faster with each passing day. But this full moon was an especially momentous occasion. It was the night of the Blood Moon; the first in two years, to be exact. And knowing Stolas, being the astronomy enthusiast that he was, something told Blitz that a night of extra-lewd activities was in the cards.

Blitz sighed, digging into his pocket and removing a crested gray horse doll, whom he'd named Escalator, with his free hand, caressing the horse's flank with his thumb. He couldn't help but feel disappointed, just as he had towards practically every other outcome that resulted from this same inconvenience. It seemed like his sexual relations with Stolas only further inhibited him from acting on his feelings for Heather, especially since some of the best opportunities to do so just so happened to occur on the full moon. Of course.

Then again, Blitz couldn't just break off his deal with Stolas. He needed the book to run I.M.P so he, and by extension, his employees, could make a living. Because without money, he wouldn't be able to afford to take Angel on dates or keep the company.

That being said, he still had time, right? He might as well make the most of it.

Bendy: It'll be alright, BLitz. It's just like any other month.

Blitz: I know, but I keep dreading this day like all the time! Stolas is just..... Too much! DO you know what that's like?!

Bendy: Yeah, actually. We used to date.

Before Blitz could ask Bendy about the topic, a Hellhorse trotted up in front of the building. The rider being someone Bendy recognized right away.

Driver: You 'Blitzy'?

Blitz: It's just 'Blitz', alright? I hate that fucking nickname,

Bendy: Wait. Alice?

Indeed, the rider happened to be Bendy's ex-wife Alice, now named Crush.

Crush: Ben?

Bendy: What are you doing on a horse?

Crush: Work. You're looking at Stolas Goetia's newest valet.

Bendy: Oh, congrats.

Blitz: Wait, you both know each other?

Bendy: Yeah, this is Alice, my ex-wife from my human life, though she goes by Crush now. ALly, this is my boss/friend, Blitz.

Crush: Oh, so THIS is Blitz, huh? *to Blitz* You know, both Ben here and my new boss told me about you.

Blitz: Oh, he talks about me, huh? Hopefully all good things?

Crush: Oh, don't worry. With Big Bird back at the manor, there ain't anything that could turn him away. From what I've heard, Stolas thinks pretty highly of you, Blitz. You must really be something special to him.

Blitz: Pfft, yeah. *pets horse's neck* Y'know, when Stolas said he was having someone pick me up from now on for safety reasons, I kinda thought he was gonna send a limo or...something.

Crush: Yeah, sorry about that. Princess Stella was using it tonight. Apparently, she wanted to attend a gala in the Envy Ring with Octavia to show off the new heir. But Stolas knows how much you love horses, so he thought you wouldn't mind.

Blitz: Yeah...this big guy sure is pretty. Kinda like my horse, Sketchbook. Or that horse that belongs to that Striker dipshit.

Bendy: Bombproof?
