Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

I.M.P is Now in Session

Loona held the now-disguised Balin's hands through the Imp City streets as they walked all the way down to I.M.P, and no matter where they went, demons from nearly anywhere stopped to comment on him.

"Aww, what a cute puppy he is." cooed a succubus demon, as he and his hellhound girlfriend walked past.

"Oh. T-T-Thank you, sir." replied Balin anxiously. "You're very kind."

"So are you." said the succubus as the two walked away. "Bye-bye now."

"Well, what do ya know?" smirked Loona, speaking inside her head. "Three minutes and dudes are takin' a liking to him."

"Hey, can I whisper something to you, Loona?" the boy asked her.

"Sure thing, kiddo." Loona gently picked him up and let him close to one of her big perky ears.

Very quietly, the boy whispered to her: "I think the chocolate is working."

"Oh? Well, I'm glad."

"I mean, I am still sorry for wasting all your candy on myself." said a still-guilty Balin.

"Nah, don't worry about it." replied Loona, rubbing his back. "Most demons are real idiots. But hey, I think it's very creative too."

"Yeah..."

"Hello there." another demon stopped the two in their tracks. "My, my, you look so cute"

This demon was a hybrid sinner. Part witch, part swan.

"Thank you, ma'am?" Balin said feeling uncomfortable, while Loona smirked at what was actually his modesty.

Yep. Secretly, she thought it was adorable.

"Is it okay if I pet you real quick?" she asked him with a warm smile.

"Uhh, sure."

Balin lowered his head and exposed his fake ears to let her work her magic. Her touch didn't really do much since hellhound ears are more sensitive to human ones, both hearing and touch. So Balin decided to play pretend the whole way through, but when the sinner started scratching his chin with her feather-like fingers, his foot shook up and down by his own instinct.

"Thank you, little hellpup." she said in gratitude, booping his nose. "You and your mama wolf have a happy day in Hell now."

"Uhh... whatever..." stuttered Loona as the sinner left.

Inside, she felt rather touched as well as awed, but mainly to see Balin act so cute like this.

AT I.M.P...

The two soon ventured off to I.M.P once again and eventually made it.

"Alright kiddo, we're here." Loona held the door open for the little boy as he gave a sigh of relief.

"Finally!"

"Quite the ordeal walking to work, huh?" Loona chuckled, stroking the boy's hound ears just for fun.

Fake or not, Balin didn't mind though, as he just blushed at her touch.

Soon, Loona perked her ears up to hear if anyone in the halls and if the gang were in the office for the day. And indeed they were, with someone else.

"Okay Balin, the coast is clear." she spoke, as they continued walking up the stairs and holding hands. "Now remember what I said yesterday about staying close to me outside the office at all times, and how we get into little fights inside? So no wandering off, and if things get too messy, you hide behind me or close to the others just in case. Understand?"
