Hazbin Hotel: Scraps of an Angel

A Flightless Bird

Everyone knew about the relationship between the Seraphim and the Exorcist... Well, except Sera. It isn't that the younger Seraphim was lying to her, she just wanted sure how Sera would react. So the two simply kept quiet about it when around her. Viola still had yet to tell Adam, for different reasons.

The pair were now in Emily's room, preparing their day, which was unfortunately an Extermination Day. Emily was rambling as her bodyguard handed her the blue shoes she normally wore, "Oh, I can't wait for our little date later! I've never gone on a theater date before! I mean, I've seen plays but not with someone as a date!" She then hugged the exorcist tightly.

Viola giggled within her grasp, "Me neither! It was nice of St. Peter to get two tickets for us." She looked at the clock on her girlfriend's nightstand, hoping that they would be able to have their picnic before she had to leave for her other job. But she smiled at Emily and took her hand in her own, "We can share a nice time together watching..." She looks down at the tickets and squinted her eyes to see the name, "'The Nutcracker.'" She then playfully bowed to her girlfriend, "Just the two of us! Watching people crack nuts!" Taking Emily's hand in her own, she kissed the back of it.

Just then the door opened and an older woman's voice was heard, "...What are you girls doing?"

Viola's lips quickly came off her girlfriend's hand, a golden blush rising to her face. She hid her own hands behind her back.

Emily gasped as she holds the hand the exorcist kissed to her chest, "Sera! I, um... Viola and I were just getting ready to go to the theater and we..." She looked up at her mentor, who was still confused. The smaller Seraphim then looked to her girlfriend, who nodded. She held Viola's hand in her own, "I guess I'll just say it, Sera... Viola and I are dating!"

The white-clothed angel's eyes widened as she quickly looked between the pair, "So you two are... Courting each other?"

The blue angel frowned up at her caretaker, "Yes, you sound... Disappointed." She felt Viola squeeze her hand, "...Is it because we're-"

Sera took a deep breath before she looked down at both girls, "No, no, it's nothing like that! I am fine with it. I was just a little surprised, that's all. Whatever makes you happy, Emily. And besides, there are... Worse options than Viola for you to be with." Her smile was a tiny bit strained.

The exorcist quickly tilted her head, "There are?"

Emily gasped, "Viola!"

The white haired angel smiled awkwardly at her girlfriend, "What?" She then gave her a smile when she saw her girlfriend was frowning, "Aw, Emily, I'm sorry. I thought I was being funny."

Her girlfriend held her hand tighter, "You're not allowed to say that about yourself! I would never consider you my worst option! Never ever!" She then pulled Viola into a hug.

The small angel started to blush and hugged Emily back, "O-okay, I won't say something like that again. I'm sorry."

The much older angel coughed to get both their attention again, "Besides, it's not like the two of you did a exchanged feathers or anything."

The two younger girls stopped hugging before looking up at the Seraphim. Viola scratched the back of her neck, "...Is that a bad thing?"

Sera narrowed her eyes at the exorcist, "What do you mean by that?"Emily played with her fingers before she looked up at her caretaker, "Well, Viola let me keep one of her feathers in my pillow case a while ago and I haven't had a nightmare since. So it can't be a bad thing."

It was then that the head Seraphim began to laugh, honestly surprising the younger angels. She covered her mouth in an attempt to stop the laughter but it continued. She put her hand on her chest once the laughter subsided, "Oh, you two scared me for a moment. But I suppose neither of you would know that exchanging feathers with the one you love is an old way of proposing to one another in Heaven."
