Corrupted: Death Follows (Male Reader x Charlie) (BOOK 3)

Back From Vacation

The morning had already come, and a few hours had gone by before Charlie had awoken. She looked to her side, finding her husband not to be there. She began to get worried and annoyed, thinking that he pulled the same crap he did before with I.M.P or something. Her train of thought was quickly derailed as Y/N showed up in the suite, pulling her suitcase behind him.

"Oh, you got my stuff. Thanks" she said, surprised at how quickly he had done it.

"Well, I decided to go ahead and do it before anything else today" he said, leaving the luggage by the door frame that led to the closet. He then walked towards the bed and sat on the edge, rubbing his wife's hand. "Sleep well?" He asked endearingly.

She tilted her head, lightly grabbing Y/N's hand. She rubbed it slightly as her blonde hair hung to the side, covering part of her face.

"Yeah, you?" She asked with a smile. Y/N gave a nod, and leaned back off the bed. He got up.

"I started up breakfast in the lobby. You might want to come before it gets cold" He said, before leaving the suite. Charlie stretched a bit, before deciding to get ready and take Y/N's advice.

Y/N took some pancakes from the stack and put them on his plate, alongside the bacon and sausage he had previously added. He sat down in the chair between Alastor and Vaggie.

"Ah Y/N! Haven't seen you in a moment, how's it been my chaotic companion?" He said, tilting his mug toward the person who just sat beside him.

"It's good. Had a nice honeymoon on Earth. What have you been up to? You've been cooped up in your tower for an awfully long time" Y/N said, answering the Radio Demon's question while asking his own.

"Been working on a few things, have my own projects to attend to. Can't let that pompous degenerate run me out of entertainment" Alastor responded, his grip tightening on the mug handle. Y/N just looked at him confused.

"Vox," Vaggie stated, explaining the situation to Y/N. "Television versus Radio. They've been fighting every since he showed up here" she continued, referring to Alastor's arrival and quick rise in power.

"Oh yeah, that guy. So, is that all you've been doing?" Y/N said, trying to ease away from the topic about a rivalry that's gone on far too long to keep track of.

"Of course not, I'm not completely insane. I tend to my daily schedule, and keep check of the occasional groups that terrorize my operations. Usually I take care of it by dismemberment" he continued nonchalantly, sipping the coffee out of his mug.

"Usually?" Y/N said, knowing Alastor was a powerful overlord, but didn't know how gruesome he got without his corrupted demon doing a lot of the ripping and tearing.

"Well there are many ways to inflict pain onto demons. First thing I learned when I arrived here. Very interesting, considering the anatomy is different in- '' Alastor began, but Vaggie stopped him.

"Alright, we get it, you mess up bodies. I'm trying to eat without being reminded I'm in Hell" she said, cutting her sausage with the side of her fork.

"Sorry my dear, I didn't know you were so affected by such activities" the Radio Demon said with a wicked smile.

"Anyways, what have you been up to?" Y/N asked, trying to ease Vaggie's annoyance by making the conversation about her.

"Keeping my weapons taken care of, and making sure Angel doesn't burn down the hotel" she said, annoyed, resting her head on her hand.

"Sounds fun" Y/N said, slightly sarcastic.

"You bet. How did you and Charlie's honeymoon go by the way?" She asked, the tone of the conversation becoming a lot lighter.
