Helluva Boss: I.M.P'S Newest Employees (18+)

9. A Family Reunion Gone Wrong

It was a normal morning for DeeDee. He woke up at about 5:30am to start his day. He began to make breakfast for Loona, Blitz and himself as he hummed a familiar tune. It was a Friday morning and a thick fog was rolling in. DeeDee was always used to cooking in the dark mornings, but due to fog outside, it was pitch black. The Hellhound went to turn on a light switch, but before he could, he tripped and fell on something! "Ow, watch where you're going dumbass!" A voice yelled. It was Blitz and he was still wearing his pyjamas. The Imp and the Hellhound stood up. "What are you even doing up this early? It's another day off for you, you don't usually wake up until I'm done cooking." DeeDee said. "I- er- I don't know how to put it." Blitz said as he sat down. "Listen man, I know I'm really just an employee that's dating your daughter, but come on, you can tell me what's going on." DeeDee said, "And I won't tell anyone." He swore and Blitz looked around. "I... I found your parents." He whispered, and then DeeDee just stared blankly at the I.M.P manager. "Ha, that's a good one! Real comedian here!" DeeDee said as he wagged his finger in the air. "DeeDee, I-" "I don't have parents Blitz! They abandoned me, and I refuse to speak to them again, I know what ring they're in and their house, I'm not going back there!" The Hellhound yelled as he then stood up. He turned away from Blitz and began to leave. "Where the fuck do you think you're going?!" Blitz yelled as DeeDee walked towards the door. "I don't fucking care!" He yelled back as he shut the door behind him, he did it carefully however, which Blitz thought was a bit peculiar. Loona then walked out of her room. "What the fuck happened?..." She asked. "Remember when we went searching for DeeDee? I told him I found his parents." Blitz explained as he grabbed her hand and followed DeeDee out. "Be quiet!" A voice yelled from upstairs. Blitz walked back into the room for a second, "SHUT THE FUCK UP DEBBIE!" He yelled as he slammed the door behind him. When they got outside, they saw DeeDee on the curb. "What the fuck are you playing at DeeDee?!" The I.M.P manager yelled. "What are you going to do?" The Hellhound asked. Blitz looked at him. "What do you mean?" He asked. "I don't wanna go back there. They treated me horribly." DeeDee said as he looked down at the pavement. "What did they do to you?" The gothic  Hellhound asked as she came closer. "They made fun of me in front of my friends, they destroyed any relationship I had by spreading lies about me, took me out of school for no reason, and they beat me, not often, but they did." DeeDee said with a sigh. "What?!" Blitz yelled as he sat down next to DeeDee. "Why did you never say any of this stuff before?" The I.M.P manager asked as he put his right hand on the Hellhound's back. "No one ever asked, and to be frank, it's like complaining, it's in the past, no one cares." "We care." Loona said as she sat down with them. DeeDee's eyes began to water. "Really?" DeeDee asked. "I definitely do." The gothic Hellhound replied as she hugged him. "I do too." Blitz said as he also hugged him. "I care about you guys too." DeeDee said as he returned hugs. "Okay, though I wish I had said something sooner."  Blitz said , the two Hellhounds looked at him. "What did you do?!" DeeDee yelled in a loud thunderous voice. "I... I set up a meeting with them. A little family reunion. Yay...?" The I.M.P manager said as he got nervous. "We will talk about this later." DeeDee said as he stood up, and the other two stood up, they soon went back into their apartment and went back to bed swiftly.

The weekend was quite boring for the three. They did help Rhys move out, getting his stuff to Emily's house, but that was about it. Though they got a bit of joy as Rhys flipped of his landlord and she begged for him to come back. Rhys said his thanks and that was that. "It's so fucking boring, I think I might just die." Blitz said as the he and the two Hellhounds lay down on the floor. "I still can't fucking wrap around why you would invite my parents over." DeeDee said as he stared angrily at the ceiling. "Why don't we fuck with your parents when they get here?" Loona said. "What are you plotting?" The I.M.P manager asked as a devious smile crossed his face. "Well, we could have Moxxie and Millie pretend to be fucking in your office and I could pretend to be getting drunk and then you could welcome them in." The gothic Hellhound explained. "I like where it's going, however, everyone needs to play a part, what would Rhys and I be doing?" DeeDee asked as he lost the anger in his face. "Well, Rhys could bring in Emily and they could be making out in view of them, and you could be sitting on the fire escape outside the window." Loona said. "Well, I'm in." The I.M.P manger said. "Blitz, you're always in when it comes to shits and giggles." DeeDee said. "Yeah, just no giggles and shits please." He replied as he put his hand out. Loona put her hand on top of his. "Call it my way of making it up to you." DeeDee put his hand on top of Blitz's. "1 2 3, go team!" They yelled as they shot their hands up in the air. DeeDee began to inform Rhys and Emily of the plan they had made, while Loona went out to buy some stuff. "So, are you gonna call Moxxie and Millie?" DeeDee asked Blitz, he was writing something down. "Oh, um, yeah, yeah." He said as he kept writing. He then left as soon as he was done and slammed the door behind him. "Fuck." DeeDee said as he into Loona's room. He sat on the bed and looked at his phone. He laid down and shut his eyes. Thunder clapped as it began to rain in his mind, and he remembered the day his parents abandoned him in The Wrath Ring. He was sent to the streets for weeks, and was scavenging for help until he came upon a man with a big bushy black beard. That was the day he was invited into Rhys' home, at about 13 years of age. He then opened his eyes again. Loona had come back, she opened her door, and shut it softly behind her. It was getting dark out outside. "Is Blitz home yet?" DeeDee asked. "No, why?" The gothic Hellhound asked. "I dunno, he's been out for a while." "Maybe he went to speak with them in person." "Perhaps." DeeDee said, his stomach growled as he sat up again. "Someone's hungry." Loona said as she ushered DeeDee out, she shut the door so she could change. DeeDee was about to grab a snack when he got a call from Rhys. "Hello?" "Hey DeeDee! What's up man?" "Nothing, sup with you?" "Well, I'm looking at a place to stay. Oh, I'm finally going to meet Emily's parents." "That's nice, but what's wrong with loving with Emily?" "Nothing, though I feel like I'm intruding, you know?" "Yeah, I get that." "Oh shit, I got to go, see you tomorrow." "See ya." DeeDee said as he hung up. He finished his snack as he walked back to Loona's door and knocked. "Can I come back in now?" DeeDee asked as he put his ear close to the door. "Oh shit, yeah!" She yelled as she shuffled around. DeeDee walked in as he looked around. "Hmmmmmm..." He said as he looked around. Loona was pressing up against the wall with a nervous smile on her face. "What are you hiding?" The hellhound asked as he raised an eyebrow. "Nothing, go to bed." Loona said as she stood her ground. DeeDee shrugged as he got into bed. When he was done, he looked at Loona and asked, "You gonna stand there all night?" Look over there for a minute." She said pointing to the wall. He did turn his head and waited until she crawled into his bed. "So... ready for tomorrow?" She asked as she lay down. "Ready as I'll ever be." He replied as she kissed him on the cheek. "What happened?" "What do you mean?" "Like, why did they abandon you?" DeeDee sighed, he then stared at the ceiling for a moment and then at Loona. "Best you learn tomorrow. I don't wanna get into that right now." He said as he tried to sleep, though he kept tossing and turning through the night, remembering bad parts of his past.
