"I don't make deals such as that my dear." Alastor let out a hearty chuckle.
"Why not? I'll give you whatever you want in return. Tell me your terms and I'll place them on the table." I responded earnestly. Alastor stood up straight and placed his...

Y/n's p.o.v
"$10.85 Aro." I slammed a slab of raw steak onto the cutting board before turning back to to the register. One of my regular customers at the butcher shop pulled out a twenty dollar bill.
"Ya know, I'm here every day and you still don't wanna go out to dinner with me." Aro stood 6'2 and was a bull demon. He was burly and had a large bull ring hanging from his stout. Giant horns protruded from both sides of his furry face and a long scar was seen over his right eye which he couldn't open.
"Sorry, but I've already told you I'm not interested." I grabbed the twenty and exchanged it giving him his change. "You'll find someone I'm sure." Aro grunted and went silent as I went back over to chop up the steak on the board. So funny. I don't know a lot about him but what I do know is that he tortured cows for fun while living. I guess karma hit him in the ass and turned Aro into a giant piece of steak himself.
I've been working here at the butcher shop for quite some time now. If I could tell anyone how long I've been dead It would be impossible. Time just kind of blends together here. I'm not much better than the bull though. I mean I am in hell for a reason. My crimes I doubt were as bad as half of the idiots down here but I'm not complaining. Who knew money was even a thing in the infamous pentagram city.
I had a decent childhood growing up. Good grades and great friends. My parents were a typical married couple. My father worked long hours and my mother stayed at home cooking and cleaning. Once I hit college at twenty four though shit hit rock bottom. Met a guy I thought I loved with all my heart but the asshole cheated. Decided to date my so called best of all friends. So what if I burned her apartment down? She deserved it. But now, I pay the consequences for her actions?
My ex boyfriend stabbed me in my own home and wouldn't it be pure comedy to realize he made it to the all great sky daddy's kingdom. I rolled my eyes at the thought. It's been lonely I won't lie. I miss having an affair or even a man to just hold me and cuddle up with. A man who'd listen to me talk about dumb things. Down here that's impossible though. Unless I became a famous porn star like angel dust. Ugh, he's so damn hot. I'd kill for those looks.
Literally.
Unfortunately I got the end of the stick. White shoulder length wavy hair and silver eyes. My copper skin has little blue freckles and I have pointy ears. Tiny dark blue horns on top of my head which I always try to keep covered with a bandana. I look more like a sprite than anything. I still wear the scars of the wounds my ex left on me all over my chest and stomach and I carry a dumb power of water and ice. Go figure. I burn down a house and now my weakness is fire.
I finished slicing up Aro's steak and wrapped it up.
"Alright, here it is. A half pound of juicy cow my good man." I slid the package to him and smiled wide.
"Thanks sweetheart. Hit me up though if you ever change your mind on that date. I'd love to treat you." He winked at me with his only open eye and I bit back a laugh.
"Will do! Have a good rest of your night!"
He waved as he exited the shop. I sighed and slumped over the counter. I was so tired. Working nine hour shifts six days a week really takes a toll. Even for a demon. I pulled my apron off and walked to the back before hearing the bell of the front door jingle.
"I'm sorry but we just closed. I'm going to need you to le-" I walked back out to the front and froze. In front of the display case stood a man over seven feet tall dressed in a pinstriped red suit a wide grin planted on his face.
The radio demon.
I pursed my lips into a thin line and slid my feet over to the counter stiffly.
"C-can I help you?" I rasped.
"Hello dear! I apologize for the sudden entrance but I am quite famished! I hope you don't mind if I purchase one of your finest meats?" He tilted his head. I swallowed hard and nodded knowing if I tried to speak I'd probably stutter.
"Wonderful! What would you recommend? I do love a good venison so maybe if you'd please." I only nodded my head again and slowly turned on my heel my heart jamming in my chest. My boss left an hour ago so I had no way of calling out to him. I was told to just lock up and go.
Fuck fuck fuck!
"H-how much v-venison would you like sir?" I cursed myself for stuttering.
"A pound if you may."
I walked to the large walk in cooler and pulled out a packaged five pound slab of venison grunting as I did so. I lifted it onto the cutting table and dropped it leaving it to slam against the counter hard.
Whoops.
Alastor hummed quietly to himself while I worked on slicing up the meat. I was to scared to ask him to pay but swallowed my fear to the best of my ability and looked over at him.
"Um so that'll be $28.62 sir.." Alastor rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a hundred dollar bill sliding it over to me as his eyes met mine. I snapped my head back to the meat and cleared my throat. "I-I'll grab that in just a moment." I finished up slicing the venison and wrapped it up before wiping my hands on the towel over my shoulder and placed the package in front of him. He quickly grabbed it and his already wide smile seemed to grow.
"Wonderful! Thank you greatly darling! Ah, by the way you may keep the change. Enjoy the rest of your evening." With that the radio demon was gone. I stood in the quiet shop mouth open and eyebrows furrowed for a few moments before dropping to my knees.
I just tended to the literal fucking radio demon. The most feared man in hell. A god damn overlord! I hurriedly got up and cleaned up the blood and meat before racing to get my phone. No way in hell was I not telling some one about this.
