MY BOOK OF ONESHOTS 😈

2 - "The Stars"

note: my headcanon of whats gonna happen in episode 2 of Helluva Boss :D

Ever since that night Stolas got home from Ozzie's, he'd been acting weird. Octavia noticed it, regardless of the fake smiles. She noticed that her father had doubled up on pills. It was hard to watch, but the one thing she noticed the most was her mother and father had been different. They'd gone silent, her mother usually would sling a few insults out between swaps. Now she just glared at Stolas.

Octavia found out later on that they were divorcing. She felt lied to, like her father was just going to leave, the way she feared and the way her mother said. She couldn't handle the tension, she had to find a release. Music wasn't working anymore... but where could she go?

She searched around her room, sighing as she closed the door and walked into the hall. To the left of her, she saw a picture of her and Stolas, a swoop of magic coming from Stolas's hand with many, many stars behind them. She gasped. She knew where she could go.. the stars!

"The imp has it.." She muttered to herself. "What imp?" Stolas asked standing in his doorway. Octavia spun around. "....I don't know! An imp?" Stolas blinked, confusion clearly on his face. "What does the particular imp.. have?" He asked, raising a brow suspiciously. Octavia had an idea. "Can I use your phone for a moment?" 

Stolas nodded and handed her his phone. "Come get me when you're done." He spoke with a slight smile. She nodded. "Thanks." Once Stolas closed his door, she opened the phone. She scrolled through his messages. "What is the imp's name? It starts with a B.." She whispered. "Blitzy? Huh, weird." Their last conversation was a few weeks ago saying something about a date. 

She went to the information folder in his contact, and looked at his address. It was his work address. "Bingo!" She pulled out her phone and took a picture. She closed the phone and knocked on her fathers door. After handing it back to him, she headed there.

Loona started hitting Blitz with a chair. Millie walked by and plopped down in Moxxie's lap. "What's this all about honey?" Moxxie exhaled satisfyingly. "Oh! Blitz finally talked to Loona about her attitude problems." Blitz squirmed away and then hid behind the couch.

"I just think some small tweaks might help you be more of a... people person?" Loona growled. "I AM  a people person!" Loona grabbed Blitz by his collar and brought him close to her face. "If I'm so terrible why don't you just grow a pair and replace me!"

 Blitz thought for a moment. "Okay.. well maybe I-... maybe I might.." Loona looked dumbfounded, caught off guard by his answer. "What?" She asked. Blitz looked behind himself and saw Moxxie giving him a thumbs up. "Well- Maybe I will little missy! Yea that's right! It's tough love sometimes so.. now.. GO TO YOUR DESK!" 

Loona growled and threw Blitz down, storming back to her desk. With that, Octavia walked in. She wore her hair as a scarf to cover her face. She looked around and checked her surroundings, not wanting to be caught.

"Sir, if I may say so.. you're doing the right thing." He massaged Blitz's back and continued rambling. Octavia snuck behind a plant, scoffing at its dead branches. She flattened herself and crept behind a printer, checking again before standing up and creeping over to a picture.

She glanced over and saw Loona on her phone. "Sup." She said quietly. Octavia nodded to her and ran into Blitz's office. She went through his desk, finding nothing until looking behind her. There was a beaten up safe, with the passcode right next to it. She pounded it in, then took the book. She flipped to the page her father had taught her so long ago, and touched a part on the page.
