Octavia Goetia walked into the office of her boss, Blitzo, with a heavy heart. The demons of hell had never been particularly accepting of her sexuality, and being in love with her boss's daughter, Loona, only added to the complication.
As she entered the office, Octavia couldn't help but feel a pang of nervousness. She didn't know how Loona felt about her, or if she even felt the same way. But she couldn't deny her feelings any longer. She had to tell Loona how she felt.
Octavia took a deep breath and approached Blitzo's desk, where Loona was sitting by her father's side. Blitzo was busy with paperwork, but Loona looked up and smiled at Octavia.
'Hi Octavia,' Loona said cheerfully, 'What's up?'
Octavia's heart fluttered at the sight of Loona's warm smile. She took a seat beside her and hesitantly said, 'Loona, there's something I need to tell you.'
Loona raised an eyebrow curiously, 'What is it?'
'I...I'm in love with you,' Octavia finally confessed, the words tumbling out of her mouth before she could stop them.
Loona's expression softened as she processed Octavia's words. She leaned in towards Octavia and whispered, 'I love you too.'
Octavia couldn't believe her ears. She had been expecting rejection or maybe even disgust, but to hear that Loona loved her back was a dream come true.
'Really?' Octavia asked, needing the confirmation.
'Of course, you silly goose,' Loona chuckled, 'I've been waiting for you to realize it for so long.'
Octavia's heart swelled with joy as Loona's words sunk in. She leaned in and kissed Loona softly, feeling all her worries melt away in that moment.

Their relationship was not without its challenges, living in hell and all. Demons were not the most understanding creatures, and Octavia and Loona had to keep their relationship a secret from most of their colleagues.
But despite the hardships, they were happy. They would sneak off to empty rooms to steal kisses, or go on secret dates to the human world above. And whenever Loona's father, Blitzo, would give Octavia a hard time, Loona would stand by her side and defend her.
However, things took a turn for the worse when Blitzo caught Octavia and Loona cuddling in the break room one day.
'What the hell is this?!' Blitzo roared, causing both Octavia and Loona to jump apart.
'Father, calm down,' Loona tried to reason with him, but Blitzo was already fuming.
'I can't believe my own daughter is a disgusting lesbian!' Blitzo seethed, his usual laid-back demeanor completely gone.
Octavia felt tears well up in her eyes at Blitzo's words. She knew he didn't mean them, he was just upset and lashing out. But it still hurt to hear such words coming from someone she considered a friend.
'It's not disgusting, and I won't let you talk about us like that,' Loona stood up for herself and Octavia, her voice surprisingly strong for someone who had always been known for her sharp tongue.
Blitzo was taken aback by his daughter's sudden display of defiance. He wanted to argue further, but seeing the determined look on Loona's face, he relented.
'Fine, but don't let anyone else find out about this,' Blitzo warned, before storming out of the room.
Loona let out a sigh of relief and turned to Octavia, who was still visibly shaken by the whole ordeal. Loona wrapped her arms around Octavia, whispering words of comfort and reassurance.
'I'm sorry you had to hear that, Octavia,' Loona said sincerely, 'But I'm not ashamed of you or our relationship. I love you, and I won't hide that from anyone.'
Octavia couldn't help but smile, tears still streaming down her cheeks. Loona's words meant everything to her, and she knew she was lucky to have someone like her in her life.

Their relationship continued to thrive, and even though they faced challenges, Octavia and Loona remained strong. They knew their love was worth fighting for, no matter what anyone else said.
As years went by, Octavia and Loona's love only grew stronger. They eventually moved into their own place, away from the chaos of hell. Loona took over her father's business, and Octavia became her right-hand demon, using her musical talents to come up with catchy jingles for their clients.
They still faced occasional discrimination and judgment, but their love was unbreakable. They were each other's rock, supporting and cherishing one another through thick and thin.
One night, as they were lying in bed cuddled up together, Octavia turned to Loona and asked, 'Do you ever think about telling your father about us?'
Loona hesitated for a moment before replying, 'I have thought about it, but I don't think he would understand. He's not exactly the most open-minded demon, you know?'
Octavia nodded in understanding, but a part of her longed for Blitzo's acceptance. She wanted him to know how happy Loona made her, and how grateful she was to have him as her boss and friend.
A few days later, Octavia was surprised when Blitzo called her into his office. She nervously walked in, not sure what to expect.
'Octavia, I wanted to talk to you about something,' Blitzo started, his voice surprisingly gentle.
'What is it?' Octavia asked, trying to hide her nerves.
'Loona told me about your relationship, and I wanted to apologize for my behavior all those years ago,' Blitzo said sincerely, 'I may still not fully understand or agree with it, but I can see how much you mean to my daughter, and that's all that matters to me.'
Octavia couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had never expected Blitzo to come around, and yet here he was, offering his apologies and acceptance.
'Thank you, Blitzo,' Octavia said, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders.
'From now on, you don't have to hide or be ashamed of who you are or who you love,' Blitzo continued, 'As long as you make my daughter happy, that's all that matters.'
Octavia couldn't hold back her tears of joy as she hugged Blitzo tightly. She felt a sense of relief and happiness wash over her, knowing that she finally had Blitzo's blessing.

Years went by, and Octavia and Loona's love continued to thrive. They got married in a beautiful ceremony, surrounded by their closest friends and family. Blitzo walked Loona down the aisle with pride and joy, and even gave a heartfelt speech at the reception, welcoming Octavia into their family.
As they danced together as wife and wife, Octavia couldn't help but reflect on their journey. From the early days of sneaking around and hiding their love, to finally being able to express it freely and openly.
Loona leaned in and whispered, 'I never thought we would make it this far, but here we are, happy and in love.'
Octavia smiled and kissed Loona, grateful for every moment they had together. They had overcome so much, but their love had only grown stronger. In the end, that's all that truly mattered in their hellish world.
And as they danced the night away, surrounded by love and acceptance, Octavia couldn't help but feel grateful for being a lesbian in love with her boss's daughter. For in the end, love knows no boundaries, not even in hell.
