"Wow, this place is pretty snazzy!" Charlie awed, you and Alastor had teleported yourselves and the hotel crew to the lounge; his powers combined with yours made the trip much less taxing than it would be otherwise, you thanked him for it. They looked about at their surroundings while Alastor escorted them to a booth on the side of the stage.

"It's... yeah, it's pretty snazzy." Vaggie agreed, sighing as she took her seat next to Charlie.

"Cheer up Vags, it's not every day we get to go out and do something like this!" Niffty said, smiling innocently at her.

Vaggie sighed softly and smiled. "Yeah you're right. It is nice to get out once in a while."

"Awhh, see?" Charlie hummed, hugging her partner and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"What time does she go on again?" Husk huffed, seemingly already bored; or merely withdrawing from alcohol.

"Uh shouldn't be long now," Charlie said looking at her phone. "She said she went to her dressing room to finish her hair and borrow something from one of the girls."

"Then I'm going to go get a drink." He started to get up but was halted by a friendly faced demon.

"No need, sugar! What can I get for yous?" The blonde looked up and her grin went from workplace professional to genuine excitement as her eyes panned over the hotel crew and landed on one face in particular. "Well hey Al!"

Alastor smiled widely at the site of his dear friend. "Mimzy dear! Long time no see, I didn't know you were a waitress as well?"

"One of the girls called in so I took over for her. Being the sweetheart that I am... And, well, I needed the money and owed her a favor anyway." She giggled. "What brings you here? You're never here on Fridays!"

"Smiles had a crush on one of the singers." Angel blurted out. A sharp, short piercing sound of radio frequency emanated from Alastor as his smile wound tight and thin.

"Oooo!! Which one??" Mimzy practically vibrated with excitement.

Alastor cleared his throat and adjusted his bow tie. "Pay no mind to Angel. I told Y/n I would escort her this evening and thought it would be nice to bring a few friends along to support her." He replied smoothly, ignoring the heat rising to his face.

Mimzy's eyes widened for a moment before beaming with excitement once again. "Y/n? Ohhhh!! You're the fella she was telling me about a few minutes ago!! Awh, I can't say I'm surprised. You two seem like you'd get along. She's such a sweetheart-" she leaned in a little closer before speaking again. "Hell of a looker too."

Alastor twiddled his thumbs under the table unbeknownst to them, slightly irritated at being put on the spot like that. But, Mimzy was a dear friend and knew she meant well. She was about to walk away after getting everyone's drink orders until Angel stopped her.

"Hey uh hold the fuck up... Is that..." he started, looking across the room at the tall, greyish purple moth demon adorned in a fur coat, sunglasses and a bedazzled cane seated at the far end of the lounge.

"Valentino? Yeah." Mimzy confirmed, rolling her eyes at him before turning back to the table. "He's a regular now. Comes by to scope out the ladies here. He never misses a night that Y/n performs."

Alastor felt a twinge of anger well up inside of him, swirls of emotion festering under his calm surface as he looked at the other overlord. His eye twitched slightly as his smile grew even tighter. Was he... jealous?
