Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

Ch.16 - Hellhound Bath Time

The I.M.P gang were ready to leave the Goetia mansion and set off back to work, as Moxxie and Millie walked down the steps back to the van with their arms linked together.

Moxxie then gave his wife a 'ladies first' gesture as he opened the door and held her hand into the van.

"Well, I guess this is... stay safe, you two." said Blitzø.

"We'll be ready, Blitzø." replied Stolas, putting on in a rather seductive tone. "So don't you worry those pointy little horns about it."

"Here we go again." Via grumbled to herself with a chuckle or two.

"Ya sure you'll adjust good here again?" asked Loona, ruffling her beanie.

"Positively, Loona. I'll cut him some slack this time." the owlet then looked at the little human boy. "And thank 'you' Balin Johnson, the kindest sweetest human I've ever met, for making this princess' day."

Balin just blushed as the 17-year-old owl demon booped his nose and slowly gave him soft head rubs, before he seized the opportunity to hug her again. Over the next 10 seconds, Stolas continued to be touched by seeing his daughter affectionately sway him back and forth in her embrace.

Soon, the prince wrapped his arms around the two, picking them up off the ground and squeezing them tightly.

"Dammit, dad." grumbled Via plainly this time.

"My apologies owlet. I just... take it you two got along just fine?" he asked putting them down.

"Yeah, we did. He's actually one of a kind, for a human." Via then showed a small smile in response.

"Indeed." smiled Stolas as he wiped his tears and crouched down to speak with him. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Balin Johnson. I hope you like it here so far."

"Yes I do, Mr. Stolas. Hell looks amazing." Balin bowed to him. "And I have Loona to thank for saving and bringing me here."

Loona then looked to the kid and flushed twirling her tail fur. "I mean, it was nothing. You were all alone, so who better to help?"

Normally she wasn't used to compliments, as the only ones she'd get were ones for her body and how great she was just after a night in the same bed.

"I hope to see you again sometime soon." smiled Via, grabbing a card out of her beanie. "In fact, if you ever need a babysitter, give me a heads-up."

"Are you sure, Via?" Stolas asked in surprise. "You want to be his sitter?"

"Well, I have learnt from the best over the years." replied his daughter, who handed the card to Loona and exchanged its phone numbers with each other.

Soon, the entire gang were in the van as the engines revved and Stolas and Octavia waved goodbye.

"Godspeed, little ones!" called Stolas.

"Bye-bye, Balin!" called Via.

As Balin waved goodbye to them too, the van took off from the mansion.

Before long, the boy snuggled up to Loona's backside as Millie sat next to the two giving him kisses on his cheeks. Loona, being on her phone the entire ride, couldn't help but think in her head that this was very wholesome.

THAT NIGHT...

Balin was now sitting on the balcony of Loona's apartment, overlooking the dark crimson sky of Hell.

There may not have been a lot of stars when it was night-time here, but he was able to see the lights of Imp City shining bright, just as the ones in his world.
