Fawning for You [A Hazbin Hotel Fanfiction]

Anti-Hero

Alastor plops down at the bar and rubs his forehead "Give me a glass of Cyanide Husker,"
Husk looks around in slight panic "Uh sorry Boss but there's no more,"
Alastor turns menacingly toward the cat "What do you mean?"
"We're all out,"
"How is that possible?"
"Someone else drank it, Boss,"
"Who exactly?"
Husk doesn't want to give her up, but he knows what happens if he gets Alastor mad "Voe,"
Alastor squeezes and breaks the glass that he's holding, letting the shards pierce his skin and his blood leak onto the counter. This doe would be the death of him. Well, the second death of him.
"Is there something you wanna talk about Boss?" Husk questioned as he cleaned up the blood pool
Alastor ignored the blood continuing to drip from his hand and stood up, fixing his coat. "Not at all Husker, not at all," he simply walks away letting the blood drip all over the floor
Alastor wasn't sure how to feel at this moment. The only emotion that he could recognize was anger, but there was something in there that he had never felt before, and it was something hard to describe. She had always been able to get him to feel new things, something like anger, but feeling like he may yearn for her presence sometime down the line. He dreaded the thought and the feeling while cursing her for making him feel things he wasn't aware that he could. And damn it, she drank his drink!
Voe met the cannibals at the theater bright and early. In fact, she had gotten there before them because she was so excited to start working. With Charlie and Lucifer's donations, she had been able to buy a suitable abandoned building that wasn't in awful shape. Of course, it could still use some love, but that's what she was here for!
"So what's the job boss lady?" Rosie asked her once she let them in
Voe clutches her clipboard against her chest "Today we're just going through the building and seeing what needs to be fixed. That way I can know all the issues beforehand and order supplies and such all at the same time. Okay? Okay!"
She had known that this would be a lot of work, but she wasn't prepared for how much walking she had to do. In hindsight, she probably shouldn't have worn Mary Jane heels, but she'd needed the confidence boost. Apparently, the original carpets were ripped and stained in about 10 different places, the seats were red and busted apart, backstage was dusty and the pulley system was jammed, the bathrooms were disgusting, with broken toilet seats and hair-jammed sinks. And saving the best for last there was no stage. Where the stage was supposed to be was a giant hole.
Voe writes this all down on her clipboard, scrunching her brow in focus and concentration when Rosie approaches her.
"Wow Miss Boss lady, I've never seen you like this before,"
She looks up slightly startled "Oh, well yeah I've never been this busy,"
"So when you've got something to do, you spend less time doing wrong?"
Voe blushes slightly "Yeah, I guess so. Something about knowing where this is going, what it will be, and what it will do, just fills me with a sense of purpose. It means so much to me,"
Rosie smiles "Enough purpose to stay out of trouble?"
Voe nods "Yeah, just enough,"
"Good! We don't need you doing any more'Spy work' for anybody else,"
Voe blushes again "I'm past that. I...think I'm becoming someone else,"
"Glad to hear it! I also hear that you're interested in becoming an Overlord?"
"How did you hear that?"
Rosie shrugs "People talk. Now for some advice, in my particular situation, you have to be trustworthy. You have to get sinners to trust you and you have to take their trust and cradle it like it's a baby. So that might be a bit of a long road for you unless you want to be a different type of Overlord,"
Voe shakes her head "No, I want to be trustworthy,"
Rosie nods in approval "Good. Then it's going to take a lot of back-breaking work on your part, but," She leans down "I think you can do it,"
"Me too,"
Rosie stands back up straight nodding once more "And that's where it starts,"

"Stop guys I don't do that stuff anymore. I'm on the up and up now," Voe tells the live as she lines her almond-shaped eyes.
you don't have to lie girlfriend
buuuulllll shit!
mmhmm 😂
They were once again referring to the shady deeds she had done on behalf of the Vees. Voe wished that people would stop bringing those up, she felt awful every time someone referenced it, especially Alastor. But she also understood that she made her choices and she can't undo them. That's all she would be known as, at least until this theater was complete. And you know what? She should feel awful, it was an awful thing to do and her feeling shitty about it was a sign of her growth as a person. But nobody likes to feel shitty.
"Can we please talk about something else? You guys asked me to show you how I do my makeup and now y'all aren't even paying attention! If you keep this up you won't get to see how I do my goddess highlight because I will turn the live right off!"
like you did a bit ago?? 😭
ran like a COWARD
"Yup one thing about me is, Imma leave. And that's on period!" she swipes her hand across her throat
you should talk about the radio demon
yeA!!
TELL US MORE ABOUT ALASTOR
"No, I'm not going to do that. He asked me not to talk about him anymore,"
SINCE WHEN HAS THAT STOPPED YOU BEFORE LMAOOOO
TBH tho 😭😭😭😭😭
"I know, but it's stopping me now. I will be respecting his wishes,"
boring
booo
be the MESSY BITCH YOU WEERE MEANT TO BE
The viewer count on her live drops dramatically, hitting Voe like s semi-truck, however, she does not react facially, only saying "Welp, guess they don't want to see the highlight then. Nobody wants to see the way I make myself look ethereal? You guys left know that I'm not a gossip influencer right?"
yeah we know
i'm here for the makeup
do you boo boo
you still wanna be an overlord ?
"Yes I do! Thank you! I question I can answer!"
then don't let em see you sweat babes!

Morning breakfast was cooked by Alastor of course, and due to her live, she came down after everyone else had been served. When she approached the kitchen Alastor's eye began twitching again.
"Hmm,"
"Good morning," she told him
Alastor emits a low level of static. Good morning? What the fuck was that supposed to mean. She was playing with him, she had to be.
"I can serve myself if you like," she says
"Of course! Help yourself, just like you did to my drink!"
She tilts her head and raises an eyebrow "Hmm?"
Alastor squints "My drink, dear. Cyanide? Ring any bells?"
Her eyes widen "Oh! Husk gave me that cuz I felt crappy. I didn't know it was yours until after I finished it. I'm sorry,"
His eye twitches further as he moves out of the way to let her get food. He stares down at her as she does. Did she think they were just going to move past everything she had done? A few polite words and all was bliss. Absolutely not, not if Alastor had any say in it. And he did.
She was the first to raise her hand during Charlie's activity this morning, which was just to tell everyone what their plans were for the day and how they felt about them
"I'm going to head over to the theater and check everything to make sure I make the proper alterations so it can be to my liking. I am so excited If I'm being honest, I can't believe this is really happening!" she lets out an excited bleat and flaps her hands
"I'm excited for you. Thank you Voe! That was lovely!"
"Also I've already told your dad, but thank you for your donation as well!"
"No problem Voe! I love this new you!"
Voe blushes very cutely "Me too," and sits down
Did she think this cutesy act would make everyone forget the kind of person she was? She was a ferocious and deadly woman! To bodies...and hearts. Alastor shook his head, slipping out
"Hmm so ecstatic, you'd think you were headed to the Vees,"
Everyone stares at him and Voe's blush grows darker and she slumps into her seat
"Alastor..." Charlie says
Vaggie shakes her head "Unnecessary,"
"What? I just made an observation,"
"We all know about her past actions, but reminding her of them constantly is helpful to exactly no one," Vaggie "She can't grow if we don't let her,"
Voe smiles softly "Thanks Vaggie,"
Vaggie gives her a thumbs-up and a smile.
"Hey!"
Alastor turns around, seeming curious "Hmm?"
Voe approaches him, a storm in her eyes "Why would you embarrass me like that?"
He looks down at her "I don't know, why would you embarrass me on a much larger scale?"
She turns her head down and closes her eyes "I'm not like that anymore," she looks back up "Everyone seems to believe in me but you!"
"Because none of them have felt the damage of your deeds firsthand, now have they?"
She puts her hand on her forehead "Ugh I know!"
"But do you know my dear? I've felt your damage twice now, all in the name of your own interests,"
"Look, I am sorry, I am so sorry for hurting you. I've told you so many times. I don't know what you want me to do now! You won't talk to me! What do you want?
Alastor leans down and picks up his cane "I want everyone to simply know what you are. You have them fooled, but not me. Remember, I know you. You're a fiery, uncontrollable, ball of destruction, uncaring of who you hit with your passion," Voe was unsure if she was being complimented or insulted. "If anything, I'm helping them to not get burned,"
She flattens her brows "Oh how altruistic,"
He places his cane back on the ground, standing straight up "Indeed,"
"Look, Alastor, like I said, I can't know what you want if you don't talk to me. Does embarrassing me make you feel better?"
No.
"Indeed it does,"
She sighs "Okay, whatever makes you happy, Alastor," she says as though she is not mad, but simply disappointed
Well, that hadn't gone the way he wanted it to, what was wrong with her? Where was the fight he had grown so accustomed to? Did she not care about this at all anymore? When looking up, he noticed another sinner, a siren, staring after Voe. Alastor merely squints his eyes and dissipates in deep-seated fury.
Voe hauled herself back to the theater. She knew that she had just been there with the cannibals, but something called her there. Another thing that she wanted for this place was an office for herself, so she wouldn't have to stay at the hotel all day. Normally she would have loved to stay at home and work there, but it had gotten difficult to be around Alastor when he insisted on punishing her for something she'd thought he'd already forgiven her for.
She sets up her camera and her laptop and hits record.
"Welcome to my newest project. Theater saves souls and if it doesn't save yours, then you're doing it wrong,"
The comments were not kind.
that shit DUSTY
dirty af
she finna get tentanus
But some were actually good ideas.
throw another party in the theater!
yea but clean that shit up first
Parties were kind of her thing. She liked the comment and put her phone away. She sat in a not-broken chair simply going through the list on her clipboard and ordering all the things she had written down the day before. Despite all the dust and dirt everywhere, she felt like she was in the right place. Though she knew that in a few she would start to feel all the bacteria on the ground and in the air. Each order she made felt closer and closer to this dream. She sneezed and dust flew off the seat, yes she was gonna need a shower after this.

"How ya feeling?" Angel asked, slipping into her room
Voe pulls up her pajama pants "Clean after being in the dust-infested theater, why what's up?"
Angel smiles "That's not what I was talking about,"
"What were you talking about?"
'The thing Smiles said?"
Voe seems confused for a moment before she remembers what Angel was talking about "Oh! That! Yeah well," she shrugs
"How'd'ya feel about it?"
"I feel like if he needs to insult and embarrass me to make himself feel better then he's pathetic,"
Angel gives her a high-five "That's what I'm talking about. Forget Alastor, he's old news,"
Voe lays back on her bed "I feel like I'm just working, is that bad?"
"No, but maybe you take some time to do non-work stuff?"
She sits back up "Like?"
Angel gives her a big grin
"What?" she scrunches her brows
"Fucking,"
She rolls her eyes and pushes him away "Oh gosh Angel,"
"I'm serious, when's the last time you've had a good fucking?"
She stops and thinks "With the Vees,"
Angel is perplexed "Really? Shit! Is it cobwebs down there?"
Voe blushes "What? No!"
"Well, it will be if you don't use it. Damn Alastor was careless,"
"That's not fair. He doesn't have a strong libido,"
"But he knows that you do, he don't gotta dick you down to get you off,"
Voe squints in thought, Angel did have a point.
"Don't make excuses for him! You deserve better,"
She stands up "Yeah, I do!"
"So go get it!
Voe glances over her shoulder at Angel with seductive eyes "I will,"
"I did a 360, now I'm back on my bullshit!" She said to her live She modeled her pink low cut back out mini dress and her hot pink pumps. "I'm going on a date, and I'm going to get fucked"
you mean fucked up??
"Nope!" she grins at the camera cackling.
And she did, day after day, she was at the theater, and night after night she was in a mini dress and heels that ended up on the floor of someone's apartment. Every morning when she did her yoga, she made sure that her split was on point so she could be ready for anything. Keeping herself and her day full worked wonders, but she still preferred spending time at the theater. So after weeks of having a new date every night, she decides to just relax inside her new project, waiting for the materials to arrive. She flexed and pointed her foot inside of her baby pink wedges as she waited. She ate her lunch out in the lobby so she wouldn't miss the delivery or the cannibals helping them set up. Honestly, just sitting there was enough to entertain her, she thoroughly enjoyed this entire process. There was a knock on the door, which she was expecting, but who was behind it was not.
"Hello," it was a male siren with grayish-blue skin and frosty white hair. Yellow eyes, and a pointy tail.
Voe tilts her head "Yes?"
"I'm Casper and I live at the Hotel with you. I've been watching you for a bit,"
She squints "What an odd thing to say,"
He scratches the back of his neck "Yeah sorry, but I just wanted to offer my services working on the theater. I could be like your assistant or something if you'd like,"
"Why?" she raises a brow
"I really love theater, even when I was alive," he gives a shy grin
"And what do you want in return?" She crosses her arms
He looks around "Honestly?" she nods "I just want to be around you. I'm kind of a super fan. I just want to breathe your air," he chuckles nervously
She squints skeptically, saying nothing before he speaks again.
"I'll even give you my soul,"
Voe's eyes widen in disbelief "Really? Just like that?"
He nods "Yes,"
She stares up at him through her lashes "Okay then Casper, give me your soul,"
