Your Afterlife (Alastor x reader) Hazbin Hotel

Chapter 4: deal

Timeskip 2 hours:

Angel and me kept talking until it was time to get some sleep.
I asked him: "Which rooms are still free?"
He replied: "The room which is 2 rooms next to mine is still free. Come with me, I'll show it to you."

I smiled at him and we walked to the door.
I hummed: "What about the keys?"
Angel: "Oh. Oh right the keys! Wait here, toots. I'll get them for you in the reception! I'm gonna hurry up." And with that, he ran to the reception.

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me: "Elaborate, y/n, why do you deem him worthy?"

I turned around, in panic by getting surprised like this again: "FUCK YOU ALASTOR, COULD YOU PLEASE STOP SNEAKING UP ON ME?"

He just gave me an evil grin: "If you aren't nice to me, why should I bother being nice to you, my dear?"

I stuttered: "Sorry... I just don't like being sneaked up on. And to be fair, I was warned about you by 2 different people. So excuse me for not being super nice to you, you creep."

Alastor humms: "What precisely did you hear about me?"
I silently said: "I was told very clearly to stay away from you. And that you're a very mighty overlord. And that you own Husk's soul. And speaking for myself, you appear kind of scary. While your choice of words is polite and friendly, your in general polite-looking demeanor as well as you pretending to care mixed with your horrifying appearance and cruel things you do... makes you very unsettling. Cuz one can never be sure what really is your motive. You're hard to read. And I think you're a force not to be reckoned with."

Alastor humms in a satisfied tone: "Would you look at that... you're quite a smart gal. You've only been here for a few hours and already know not to mess with me."

Unsure of where Alastor was gonna go with his small speech, you kept listening to him attentively and also scared.
He continued: "How about... you are gonna be my... let's say undercover-spy? You'll be an additional pair of eyes and ears for me. You appearing this nice and... anything but threatening... will have it easy to get some valuable information people wouldn't be comfortable sharing if I were to be around."

I gave him a scared look: "Uhm what is in this for me? Will I gain any advantage out of this?"

Alastor grinned at me: "Of course! But first, I'll tell you the only rule. You mustn't tell anyone. Which also includes Angel. I know you're becoming good pals but you have to keep this secret to yourself. You must never tell him. Well... if you do this for me, my dear. I'll protect you from any danger or threat Hell has. You'll stand under my direct protection. If you want, I can also share some knowledge about Hell, the overlords and power with you. And the more valuable information you manage to give to me, the more I will consider you a very valuable ally I can't miss out on. Who knows... we might even become friends. Are you willing to spy for me, y/n?"

I have to admit the benefits sounded quite good. But what if I can't get valuable information and he deems me unvaluable? What if..... Come on, y/n. You wanted to stop asking yourself those what if scenarios all the god damn time. Besides, it wouldn't hurt if a powerful overlord of Hell took a liking in me. But I would hate keeping this huge secret from Angel. But I have to... once people know I'm a spy, I wouldn't have any use as a spy anymore. Well, I'll just have to make sure he never finds out. I can do this, right?

I bowed to Alastor: "Yes, I'm gonna spy for you, Al."
Alastor's smile almost looked genuine: "I knew I could count on you, y/n. I hope you have a lovely night. See you tomorrow."
Then he morphed into shadow again. I started panting slightly.

OMG I'M SO FREAKING STUPID.
I'M SO GONNA REGRET THIS SHIT.
I tried calming down since I started hearing the hurried steps of Angel approaching, holding one of the keys in one of his 4 arms.
I smiled at him fondly: "Thank you, Angel! You're the best!" I took the keys and gave him a short hug.

He smiled back: "Anything for my new bestie."
I said softly: "Good night, Angel!"
Angel: "Same to you! See you tomorrow, girl!"
He then went into his room.

I was still standing in the floor.
Scolding myself about my bad decisions.

My first day in Hell and I already made a very close friend and... someone to work for. Yay! Who would have thought that the afterlife is so much more exciting than... my actual life. Well... that's sad.

Finally, I used the keys to open the hotel room door. It was a cozy room. Not very big, but also not small. The bed was a nice comfortable double bed that had violet covers. And pink pillows. There was a shelf with a few books in it. A desk and a chair. I was tired and just fell asleep on the bed.

The sun shone into the room and woke me up. Ugh. It was already time to get up. I better hurry up with getting ready for the day. I quickly showered and then quickly had an apple for breakfast.

"Y/n!"
I turned around. It was Angel. I jumped off the chair in excitement: "Angel! So what are your plans for today?"

Angel: "I'm gonna go to the city today. First, I'm gonna go to work there. And then, I'll go shopping. How about you come with me? While I'm at work, you can have a look around the city on your own and after work, we'll go shopping together?"
I squeal in excitement: "YES!"

Timeskip 20 minutes:

Angel and me stepped out of the taxi that drove us to a huge building that had 3 big V's lettered on it. Before Angel went to go to work, he shortly hugged me.

Then I was standing around alone. Not sure where the best place to go is to eavesdrop some information for Al unnoticed.

Hmmm... what if I enter the Vee's building? It would surely bring me some information but there's a fair chance that Angel will see me in the building if I go in it...Fuck.

Suddenly, there was a voice behind me:
"Hey bitch, could you get out of the way?!"

I turned around only to see a man-like figure with a freaking TV for a head. I started laughing about his appearance.
The TV man was confused: "What... what's so funny about this?"

I knew better than that cuz knowing how unlucky I am this might as well be another overlord but I couldn't resist: "You have a fucking TV for a head! Which makes you look hilarious!"

The screen of the TV man glitched: "Do you even have any idea who the fuck I am?"
I was still laughing: "Nope! I just spawned in Hell yesterday!"

His voice turned more threatening: "Do you think Hell is a fucking joke or something?"
I just wanted to piss him off so I just replied in the plainest tone: "Maybe!"

He raised his voice: "You bitch! Shut the fuck up!"
I hummed unreasonably confident: "Make me!"
