Helluva Boss: Ink Edition

Imp-Somniac

We open to not I.M.P, but at the Hazbin Hotel at night as we zoom in on one of the windows which leads to Blitz's room, where he is seen in his pajamas as he climbs right into bed.

Blitz: Alright, insomnia, are we going with a PTSD induced nightmare or sleepless night this time? Whatever it is, I'm ready to kick your ass.

As Blitz lays back and tries to sleep, he scruntches his face, sitting up to pound his pillow as Spindle watches from her hay bun.

Blitz: This pillow is hard as a fucking rock! *lays back*........ What to do?

Spindle: .......................

Blitz: Good, thinking Spindle! Warm milk puts me right to sleep.

He then goes off as a microwave is heard, along with it beeping as well as swallowing is heard off screen. After all the noises are done, Blitz comes back slightly more relaxed as he lies in bed. Just as he's about to close his eyes, his stomach starts growling as he sits up in alarm.

Blitz: Oh no, I forgot.... I'm lactose intolerant.

The imp then runs into the bathroom, groaning can be heard from the inside for hours as the clock ticks by. Later on, we see Blitz still wide awake in his bed. Despite the hour, be it late night or early morning, Blitz found sleep to be elusive. Ther room was too big, too lonely, too stuffy, the sheets were too soft, the pillow was too lumpy, everything was wrong.

Blitz: Quiet... It's too damn quiet.... *checks time on phone* Only 5 hours until I'm supposed to get up.... Now it's four hours, fifty-nine minutes, fifty seconds... four hours, fifty-nine minutes, forty-five seconds... four hours, fifty-nine minutes, forty-one seconds! *throws phone away* What if I don't get to sleep at all?...... I need some help.

Meanwhile at Stolas's manor, we see him sleeping in bed by himself, since Crush has her own quarters for now. As the Prince slept soundly, Blitz then rises from the side of the bed, looking like a creeper as he taps Stolas's beak as he whispers.

Blitz: *whispers* Stolas? Stolas?

Stolas: *sleepily* H-h-huh?

Blitz: Stolas?

The owl's eyes open more. Before they widen suddenly at the sight of Blitz. The prince makes shrill bird cries as he jolts up and scurris back away from him.

Stolas: Blitz?! What in Mammon's name are you doing here?! It's 1 in the morning!

Blitz: Sorry, Stolas, but I couldn't help it. I need your help, desperately!

Stolas: Why, what's the matter?

Blitz: There's a reason I never passed out when we fucked in the past for the book. I'm an insomniac. I need your help to sleep.

Stolas: Oh, my.... Say no more, Blitzy. I know just the thing.

With a blue spell circle, Stolas summons a book off his shelf, summoning it into his hand.

Stolas: Now, get comfy.

Blitz: A bedtime story?.... What the hell, I'll try anything.

Like old times, the imp settled into Stolas's bed, getting under the covers as Stolas sits on the bed, opening the book.

Stolas: Okay. *clears throat* "Once upon a time, there was a sleepy little demon boy."

Blitz: Ah, yay...

Stolas: "The sleepy little demon boy was the sleepiest boy in all the kingdom."

Blitz: Mmm, sounds like me.
