Took You Long Enough - OC x Hazbin Hotel

Chapter 6 - What Are We?

"Why, hello my dear-" Vaggie cuts him off punching him in the face. "Wait wait wait!" He falls to the floor, his snake like body cowering in fear. "I come in peace." He throws up peace signs with his hands.

"What are you doing here?" Vaggie's voice is full of anger.

"Vaggie, what's the problem- Oh! Hello again!" Charlie recognizes the snake creature.

"Who's that?" Quin turns to Angel.

"Hold on one sec," Angel starts walking towards the door. Quin follows him.

"I didn't come looking for a fight. I uh, I heard that you're helping people! People who want to be better?" He looks as Charlie with a smile. Her face lights up.

"You heard right! Welcome to our home of healing, our resort of restoration, our-"

"Are you fucking nuts? This chump was trying to kill us like literally six hours ago! And now you wanna-" Angel starts lecturing Charlie while whoever the hell this guy is hides behind her.

"Wait, what? What happened while I was gone?" Quin cuts Angel off.

"This little fucker blasted a hole in the wall and attempted to kill Alastor,"

"But I didn't!" The snake guy says triumphantly.

"Not the point!" Angel yells back at him. Angel then turns to Quin. "Did you not see the giant ass sign that says 'new wall'?"

"Um, no?" Quin has a confused look on his face as he looks behind him, now finally seeing the sign.

"How?" Angel looks at him with a dumbfounded expression.

"Uh, I don't know? Maybe I've got other stuff on my mind?" Quin looks kind of sarcastically at Angel.

"Anyways, you want to bring this chump in to live with us after he tried to kill us?" Angel says with an angry tone.

"Absolutely! This place is about second chances! And who deserves one more than this slithery, slippery... special little man!" Charlie speaks with a smile so big it looks like it hurts.

"Aren't you supposed to protect this place?" Angel asks Vaggie with an annoyed tone in his voice. Charlie makes puppy dog eyes at Vaggie. Even Quin has to admit, she looks adorable.

Vaggie lets out a sigh of reluctance. "I, guess he's not much of a threat without the war machine," She stares daggers into the snake boy. His face lights up with excitement. "Or even with the war machine."

"Oh..." his face droops at her comment.

"Aw, thank you thank you thank you thank you!" She speaks so quickly Quin can barely understand her. "Sir Pentious, welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!"

"Oh no darling, thank you! You won't regret this!" Sir penis or whatever his name is walks inside the hotel with Charlie.

"Eh, I give you a week, tops," Angel doesn't seem to care much for him, Quin can't say he blames him though. The guy does kind of give "off" vibes.

Charlie starts giving him a tour of the hotel, showing him every little detail. Vaggie tells her she doesn't need to show him everything.

"Sorry, I'm just so excited to have our first guest!" Charlie says with pure excitement.

"Uh, what the hell am I then?" Quin can tell from his voice that Angel is a little pissed at her comment. Hell, he's a little bothered by it too.

"Yeah, what are we?"

"Well, you guys are an important part of our family here, Angel and Quin, but you um, uh-" Her tone almost sounds condescending.

"You guys constantly make us look bad. You-" Vaggie point at Angel. "sexually harass the staff. And you-" she points at Quin, "you're constantly high and off doing god knows what, despite claiming you wanted to work towards redemption. And neither of you have literally once tried to improve."

"What she means is, it's just nice to have someone interested for once," Charlie walks off and goes to talk to Sir Pentious.

Quin looks at Angel, seeing something was bothering him. He reaches his hand out and goes to speak but stops himself. There's nothing I could do anyways. None of them here care about me. Not even Angel. The relationship we have is purely to escape the hell with both in, nothing more. Quin lets out a small sigh. He continues to mingle downstairs until Charlie has them all get together.

"Now, with another a new resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other! So we are going to play a little game. Everyone, follow me," Charlie puts her hands together. "My name is Charlie," she claps twice, "I like to sing," she claps again, "And when we get to know each other, it's the greatest thing!" She claps twice once more. She motions to Sir Pentious.

"My name's Sir Pentious," he claps in the same pattern Charlie did, "I like to build. Despite my stupid egg boys, I think I'm very skilled!" He seems quite happy with himself. Both him and Charlie motion to Angel.

Angel barely looks up from his phone. "This is stupid."

While singing and clapping, Charlie speaks again. "This is not stupid, it's just the game! Sir Pentious did it well so please try to do the same!"

"I am too sober for this," Angel rubs his face with his hand.

"Me too," Quin sighs.

"Well get used to it and learn how to play," She has a melodic tune to her voice when she speaks again, "This is gonna be your whole day!" She claps twice.

"Ugh," Angel does not seem happy. Quin isn't either, and the temptation to just go up the stairs is immense. But, if he doesn't participate, he might just get kicked out. So, he suffers through it.

"My name is Quin, I like to dance. Despite my hesitation, I'll give this shit a chance," He cracks a small smile. Seeing Charlie's reaction makes him, happy -- an emotion that's hard to come by nowadays.

"Great job Quin!" Her grin spans from ear to ear almost as she's bubbling with excitement. Quin glances a look at Angel, and he seems almost pissed for a brief moment. He quickly replaces his expression with one of apathy.

...

After the three of them perform the world's stupidest play, Charlie tells Sir Pentious how proud she is of him. Quin watches Angel head upstairs. He glances over his shoulder, a look of longing on his face. He turns back around, heading up the stairs. Quin follows him.

He stands outside of Angel's door for a second, trying to think of what to say, when he hears Valentino's voice. He can't make out what's being said, except just a few lines.

"You actually think you can change? Addict trash like you doesn't change."

Quin's heart sinks. He knows exactly how Angel feels. He reaches for the door. He puts his hand on the handle, but he just can't bring himself to open it. I've tried to help people before, and it's never worked. I'd probably just make things worse... He lets go of the handle and walks back to his room.
