The Fallen Champion (Ben 10 X Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss)

Murder Family

The next morning has come along, and Sir Pentious is starting to get adjusted to his new environment. While there is still some distrust between some of the residents/staff, Sir Pentious has been on his very best behavior.

But that doesn't matter right now. Right now, Ben is sitting on the ledge of the massive skyscraper housing IMP.

Looking down at the city below, Ben pulls out a box of cigarettes from the inside of his jacket. Taking a cigarette out of the box, Ben puts it in his mouth.

Ben takes out a lighter, flicking it a couple of times, before it finally ignites. Ben then lights the end of his cigarette, before closing the lighter.

Ben takes a long draw of the cigarette, the smoke entering his lungs. He then takes the cigarette out of his mouth, exhaling the smoke out of his mouth.

Ben: "Feels good."

Ben suddenly hears a door open up behind him, which is the door that allows access to the roof.

Loona: "Ben?"

Ben's head perks up slightly, and he turns it to see Loona approaching him.

Ben: "Hey, Loona. What's up?"

Loona: "Nothing much at the moment." She pulls out a pack of her own cigarettes. "You feeling okay?"

Ben takes another draw of his cigarette, before exhaling the smoke.

Ben: "The hell's that supposed to mean?"

Loona: "From what I get about you, you usually smoke when you're tired or stressed." She puts a cigarette in her mouth, attempting to use her faulty lighter to light it. "So, which is it?"

Ben: "A bit of both, I guess."

Using his lighter, Ben lights Loona's cigarette. Loona takes a quick draw of the cigarette, taking it out of her mouth before exhaling the smoke.

Loona: "Wanna talk about it?"

Ben: "Not really, honestly." He pauses, waving the cigarette in his hand. "Just some....old memories I should be over by now."

Loona nods her head as the two continue to smoke on the roof.

After a couple of minutes of comfortable silence between the two, Loona decides to break it.

Loona: "Can I ask you something?"

Ben: "Depends on what you ask me."

Loona hesitates for a moment, a slight blush on her cheek as she looks up at the sky, continuing to smoke. But she takes the cigarette out of her mouth, blowing out some smoke before speaking.

Loona: "I was wondering if you-?"

A ring-tone can suddenly be heard emanating from Ben, and he jolts from the sudden sound.

Ben: "Shit, my bad."

Sticking his cigarette into the corner of his mouth, Ben searches the inside of his jacket for his phone.
