Fawning for You [A Hazbin Hotel Fanfiction]

Bulletproof

She let herself into the large golden door, she tried to walk steadily but she still felt shaken from the dream she'd had the night before.
"Lucifer!" She calls him inside the living room
He comes strolling in "Good morning Ducky, how was your sleep?"
She thinks about whether or not she should tell him, but she decides not to "Just swell! How about you?"
"I didn't sleep at all really, I had much work to do. Who knew being King was so boring?"
Voe smiles "You think you'd know that after, what? 10,000 years?"
He chuckles "Yeah,"
Voe suddenly remembered what she had come there for "Oh! You already had me forgetting!" she jokingly chided him as she reached into her bag. She hands Lucifer an envelope.
"Ooh a secret love letter?" they both laugh as he opens it "Ooh, open mic night and grand opening?"
"Yep! The theater is finally done and ready to open and you better be there bitch!"
"Oh! Then I guess I better be there or be square as they all say,"
She points to him "No one says that anymore,"
"Really? Thought I heard it somewhere..."
"But yeah! You're gonna be there, and then you're going to come back to the Hotel with us,"
"Okay, I-"
She steps closer to him "To stay,"
"Stay? I don't know about-"
"To stay"
"Fine, but tell me something,"
Voe nods
"Do you miss me?" he smirks at her
Voe crosses her arms "Yes, I miss you,"
"How much do you miss me, Ducky?" he steps closer
She leans in "So... much,"
"Well now that I know you miss me, I'll think about it,"
Voe shakes her head "No you're gonna do it,"
"I'll think about it,"
"You're gonna do it,"
"You must really want me there,"
She nods "And you will be there,"
"Hmmm...see you or don't!"
Voe turns to leave "I'll see you there!"
"Or not!"
"I will!"
"Or not!"
"Can't wait to see you," was the last thing said before the golden doors closed yet again
"Here you go Rosie," she hands her an envelope
Rosie seems flattered "Oh my! For me!"
"Of course! You and your cannibals are the reason why this is even possible!"
"Oh well, you're right,"
Voe and Rosie laugh together "So that invitation applies to any cannibals that want to come,"
"Awe, how sweet!"
"Even Susan," Voe says with a grimace
"Awe, you're so sweet!"
"I hope to see you there,"
"Indeed you will!"
"Lovely," Voe says to the Overlord
"Here's one for Charlie, Vaggie, and Angel! Oh, you can have one if you want to Cherri,"
"All right! I mean- it's not really my scene but-"
"She'll be there," Angel smirked and said
Voe turns to the girlfriends "Charlie? Vaggie?"
"Awe! Is this for me?" she gasps "Open mic night??!! Vaggie, do you know what this means??" She shakes Vaggie
Vaggie looks at Voe "Look what you started," and smiles lovingly at her girlfriend
"So...can I count on you coming Vaggie?"
Vaggie, still being shaken "Yeah,"
"You gals could do a duet!"
Charlie gasps and screams in delight "Vaggie holy shit that's an amazing idea!"
"I love your voice Vaggie," Voe complimented the Angel
Vaggie blushes "Thanks,"
"All right, I'm off to invite more people! Oh by the way Charlie, your dad is coming,"
Charlie's eyes light up "Awe Voe, you got him to come?!" She rushes over and hugs Voe, who is slightly surprised by the physical contact. When she pulled back, Charlie said "You are such a good person!!"
Voe blushes and tears up a little "Really?"
"Really," Charlie boops her nose
"Thanks," she smiles and hugs herself, bleating shyly "All right, bye!"
Voe strolls up to the housekeeper "Hey Niffty,"
"HI!" she waves
Voe kneels, handing her an envelope "Here, come Mommy's theater,"
"Ooooh," she takes the envelope and devours it in a few bites
"So is that a yes?"
She nods vigorously and Voe pats her head
"Good girl,"
Voe bangs on the bar counter, waking up Husk
"Hm? What the Hell is this?"
"Invitation,"
"For what?"
She tilts her head "My theater opening,"
"Theater opening? What you want like a bartender or something?"
"I want you to come as a guest,"
"Hmm alright,"
"Amazing! Try to be less drunk?"
"Hmm? No promises," and falls back asleep
Voe debated on whether or not she wanted to do this. On the one hand, the man said that he hated her, while on the other she wanted to shove her success in his face. And deep down she wanted him to be proud of her. What would even be the point of her inviting him, he wouldn't come. But what if he did? She would never know if she didn't invite him. She stood in front of the door and thought of all the times she'd knocked on it, deciding to add one more. This time she knocks quietly, normally, and in a way that portrays sanity.
"Busy!" He calls out
Voe knocks on the door again
"Hmm," Alastor opens the door "What?" he asked, pretending to be annoyed
"Hi," she waves
"Hello,"
She takes out the envelope and holds it out to him
He looks down on it "And what is this?"
Voe purses her lips "It is an invitation,"
"For?"
"The opening of...my theatre,"
His eyes widen "Oh! You finally finished that shabby old place?"
"It's not shabby," she feels defensive of her project
"I suppose not anymore,"
She looks down and lowers her arm "Are you going to take it?"
"I don't know, open mic? I would hate to go and see a whole bunch of sinners screeching their lungs out in front of a mic,"
She looks away "Can you just celebrate my success...with me?"
"Why don't you celebrate it with Casper,"
Voe rolls her eyes "He will be there since he works there,"
"Then I'm sure you'll have all the support you'll need,"
"Why are you being like this?"
"Like what?"
"Like...weird,"
"I haven't the slightest idea of what you're talking about,"
She puts the envelope back into her bag "What is wrong with you?"
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"You're being a complete jackass!"
"I suppose I'll think about it,"
"NO, you're going to come!"
Alastor raises his eyebrow "And if I don't?"
"Then that's it,"
"What's it?"
She blinks "You know what,"
He sighs "That would hurt you more than it would hurt me,"
"Doing this with you is hurting me,"
"Then why even invite me?"
She blinks back tears and licks her lips "Because..."
"Because what?" he leans down to be in her face
"Because..." the volume of her voice lowers "I need to know, that you didn't mean what you said,"
Alastor doesn't speak
"Tell me you didn't mean what you said," her voice shakes slightly
Alastor grins "Would that make you feel better?"
Her eye twitches "Yes, it would," she admits
"Hmm," he takes the invitation and closes the door
He found it very difficult to trust her, but he couldn't let it be over, he would not allow it.

Voe climbed up on the now-completed stage. She smooths her hot pink two-piece dress and approaches the newly installed mic. She taps it twice with her index finger and her perfectly manicured nails, quieting the large crowd of people in attendance.
"Hello? Can everyone hear me?"
"Yes!" They called back, standing at attention
"Welcome welcome to the grand premiere of my newest project!" She smiles so brightly that the camera in the back of the theater can see it clearly. "I just want to thank all the people who made this dream possible, that would be Rosie and all her cannibals," Rosie is flattered in the crowd and people applaud "All my employees," the applause gets louder "The Princess of Hell, Miss Charlie Morningstar!"
People start whooping for Charlie who blushes and puts some hair behind her ear. Just then Lucifer comes in, dressed in his coat and top hat. Voe widens her eyes and says "And the King of Hell himself, who has decided to bless us with his presence, Lucifer Morningstar!!" Lucifer waves in a kingly way, truly grinning. "I want everyone to enjoy the party and remember that this is an open mic night, so who wants to be the first to sing on this stage!"
The crowd woos and starts cheering Voe's name
"Okay okay okay, I will sing for you,"
"Woo!"
