Fawning for You [A Hazbin Hotel Fanfiction]

Titanium

Alastor took a stroll through Pentagram City, spending the time thinking things over. He looked around, not nearly enough people were cowering and setting themselves on fire to get away from him. Not enough people were looking over their shoulders to see what he would do and if they would end up on his broadcast. Far too many treated him as though he were a normal sinner. He wasn't sure what to make of it, he was certain he didn't like it. He was the Radio Demon, a name to be feared and revered. Not loved.
Loved.
The last person that loved him was his mother. Let alone, in love with him. He ran through the events in his mind, over and over again.
If you were stupid, I wouldn't be in love with you.
My my, what a way to make that kind of confession. Knowing that, the way she had been acting finally made sense, she wanted more from him. She wanted love from him. He meant it when he told her that they were just alike, and he meant it as the utmost compliment. He honestly found it so hard to believe that she would or even could be in love with him. He knew that he was wonderful, but to fall in love? It felt...uncomfortable that he was not entirely against the idea of it.
For seven days he wandered the Pride Ring, deciding his thoughts on the matter, and he had not concluded his feelings until he reached the hotel doors once again. Maybe he was somewhat dense to not have seen that before. But how was he meant to know that when she asked "Do you think I'm pretty?" that what she really meant was "Do you love me?"

Alastor was not well-equipped for this kind of thing. He was equipped for carnage and bloodshed. It was what he was good at, what he enjoyed. Ripping demons apart with his teeth, and literally ripping hearts out of their owners chests. Playing scream on his broadcast or putting them in his drinks. He hadn't expected her to love him, and he certainly didn't expect-

(song: Her)

He opened the doors and was met with an empty parlor, devoid of any existence. He strolled through, his footsteps barely making any noise. Suddenly he heard the door close and a rushing wind as Voe superspeeds down to where he was. Standing there in front of him, a large gauze on her shoulder and bruises all around her neck and chest from where he bit her. Her hair was down and she was wearing pink pajamas with hears on them, and matching slippers. His chest swelled when he looked at her, confirming the correctness of his decision. Her arms were crossed and there was a scowl fixed on her face, she tapped her foot impatiently as her right ear twitched with rage.
"Smile, my dear-"
"Where in Hell have you been?"
"Well I've been all over the Pride Ring-"
She cuts him off again "What is wrong with you?"
"Whatever do you mean?"
Her ear twitches more violently "You can't just leave after I admitted something that personal! Do you know how embarrassing that is?!"
"I just needed time to think,"
"To think about what? Ways to reject me? I get it, I know you don't love me back, but you don't have to humiliate me as well,"
Alastor blinks "Are you done?"
She shrugs "Sure! I guess!"
Alastor grabs Voe's face and lands a passionate kiss on her lips.

"So... are we like together now?" she asks all giggly
"Are we?" he mocks her tone
"Stop,"
"I'm just teasing, my dear,"
She smiles jokingly, she chuckles "Are you my boyfriend?"
He looks at her with contempt for the idea "I suppose,"
"Ooooh!" she bounces and claps "Can I touch you?"
"Sure,"
She grabs his arm and kisses his hand
"Awe," he cups her chin and she holds his hand against her cheek
"Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"Not a girlfriend, more like a girl that lived across the street from me,"
She flattens her brows "So then no,"
He smirks "We did share a kiss, once,"
She puts her hand over her mouth "You were not chaste! You're a ruined man!"
"We were both 10," he grins a silly one
Voe leans in "Ruined," she whispered
He mocks her talking with her his hand
She shakes excitedly "I am so excited!"
"For what?"
She smiles softly, putting her hand on his cheek "To be yours,"
"Awe," he tilts her chin up
Touching her and holding her was a kind of bliss that Alastor seldom experienced; it was something he had missed and something he would never grow tired of.
"And you're mine! All the bitches need to know," she growls
"Oh my, I believe I'm a little scared,"
"You should be," she growled at him and smirked
He smirks at her and kisses her forehead. She pulls his face down
"You're still gonna get it for calling me a slut,"
"I'm sure my punishment will be coming soon," he smirks and they make out.
Voe bites her lip "Tell me you hate me now," she kisses him "Go on, tell me,"
"No," he kisses her back
"Yeah, I know you can't" she licks her teeth
He playfully pushes away her face, his palm covering her whole face "Let's just keep this private for now, hmm? I want you all to myself,"
"So I take it you really forgive me now?"
"Yes, I do," he smiles softly
Voe looks down at his wrist "Where's your bracelet?"
He looks down as well "I took it off,"
"Put it back on,"
"I will darling, I just have to go and get it. I put it in a safe place,"
Alastor tears apart his room to find the bracelet, but it is nowhere to be found. The last time he had thought of that bracelet was when he removed it at Rosie's....fuck.
"Rosie, my dear, have you seen a bracelet in your home?"
"You're gonna have to be more specific Alastor,"
"You remember when I came to you...in an hour of need?" he leans forward
She suddenly understood "Ohhh that bracelet, oh well you left it here so I figured you didn't want it. Susan has it, she really liked it,"
"Did she? Did she really?"
"Yeah, she wears it all the time. You can go get it from her,"
"Do you mind doing it for me?"
Rosie looks around "I do mind, yes,"
"Please? Please do this for me?"
"Alastor, no,"
"But she's such a-"
"Alastor you're a grown man,"
"Please,"
She sets her eyebrows "Alastor, no,"
His ears lower "Fine," he approaches the old woman "Hello dear Susan!"
"Huh?" she turns around
"I said Hello!"
"What'd'ya want Albert?" she looks at him over her glasses
He gestures toward her wrist "I would like to procure that bracelet from you,"
"This isn't yours. It's Vera's 'Vera' is a girl's name,"
Alastor closes his eyes and breathes "Yes, a woman named Vera gave it to me,"
"No! It's mine!"
He blinks "I was told you found it here,"
"That makes it mine!"
"But I am the one who lost it,"
"Too bad! Finder's Keeper's deer boy!" she leans into his face
It took about 10 cannibals to remove Alastor from eating Susan.
"Rosie! Rosie!" Susan screamed
"What's going on over here?"
"GIVE ME BACK MY STUFF!" Alastor screams
"Alastor!" Rosie's voice gets gruff
"She won't give it back," he huffs, fixing his coat "It's mine!"
"Actually it's Vera's!"
Alastor's face gets red "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU WOMAN-!"
"Alastor! Get yourself together, you're a grown man. This is how you treat women?
"She won't give it back!"
Rosie turns to Susan "Susan dear,"
"Hmm?"
"The bracelet belongs to Alastor,"
"IT SAYS 'VERA'!"
She nods "A woman named Vera gave it to him,"
Susan grumbles and hands it to Rosie, who then hands it to Alastor "See? No big deal,"
"That deer is a menace,"
"Okay Susan," she pats the old lady's back
"Oh so you and him and him and you again, huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?' he mocks her "I heard the sounds from the room!"
"What sounds? she grins
Angel raises a brow "Oh Alastor, oh oh FUCK!"
Voe blushes "I don't know what you're talking about," she tries to keep from smiling
"You know what, you can't tell me about lying when you're lying to me right now!"
"I-"
"I nothing! I heard what I heard and you were letting Smiles feel you up!"
"Stop!" she whispers
"Ain't nobody stopping! You will not silence me!"
Voe whispers a little louder "Okay okay! Yes, we are together,"
"Ha! Knew it! I ain't hear nothing!"
She punches Angel's shoulder "Oh fuck you!" he laughs with her
"But in all honesty, go ahead and get yourself a man!"
"You're the one that said to dump him!"
"And he stopped being stupid, didn't he?"
She acknowledges him being right "Is it bad that he said he wants it to be private?"
Angel shrugs "I don't know, I guess not. The man wants his privacy. Ain't nothing wrong with that,"
"Okay, I just didn't want to fall into the same trap,"
"Yeah, I hear ya,"
Voe laughs "You know I just realized that you were probably included when he said that he wanted to keep it private,"
"Yep! But I would've found out anyway. Nothing gets past me!" Angel turns toward the window "Hold up," he walks toward it and screams at a drone outside "Get outta here!"
Voe rolls her eyes "Vox huh?"
"Yeah,"
She tilts her head "I wonder if he's still mad about the choosing Alastor and killing him and his friends thing," she crosses her arms
"Oh, you have not been on that side of social media toots,"
"Do you think he might try to do something?"
Angel shrugs
"Is that something I may have to worry about?"
"Maybe...probably...most likely....yeah,"
She and Angel look out the window "Aw shit,"
"It's just drones around it, it doesn't mean anything,"
The drones begin zapping at the theater
"What the FUCK! We didn't even put on our first show yet!"
Angel and Voe run downstairs
"Hey guys do you see those fireworks?"
"Yeah, that's my theater," she turns to Angel "It went down like the twin towers! Stay here please,"
"Well I ain't gonna stay in this spot, but I ain't going over there. And wait, what?"
Voe steps outside the hotel and transforms into her demon form, flying over to her partially trashed theater "VOX!!!" She roars, fire coming from her open mouth. She flaps her dragon wings flying up to the level of the drone, kicking one into orbit before being shot by another. She roars once more stomping the drones with her heels on and dodging the launch of flames. She crushes the drones with her hands and burns one with her fire breath. She's destroyed the drones, but the theater had already faced the damage. There was a large hole in one half of it, enough to know that it was no longer ready to put on a show.
She flies over to the new V-tower, busting in through a window. It was smaller than before and had fewer employees, but she bulldozed her way through the building, screaming Vox's name at the top of her lungs. She runs into Valentino,
"Hello gorgeous," he winks "I missed you,"
Voe is disgusted "Why?"
He shrugs "That head-pulling shit was kinky,"
She waves him away "Where is Vox?"
Val licks his lips "Downstairs,"
She punches him in the gut for good measure and drills herself down through the floor into the basement, once she reaches it she shouts "VOX!" with a noticeable growl
"I've been waiting for you,"
"What the fuck dude?"
Vox smirks "What's wrong my dear?"
"Why are you destroying my stuff?"
"Ohh, I don't know. Maybe just to get you riled up." he lowers his pitch "I love seeing you riled up,"
"Well, I would appreciate it if you stopped,"
"Oh you would, wouldn't you?"
She looks around "Yes,"
He chuckles "Are you done?"
She shrugs "I guess,"
"Have a nice day,"
"Wait, what just happened?"
"You said what you needed to say,"
"Are you gonna stop?"
Vox smirks and says nothing
"Vox..?" she sets her jaw
"Voe..." his smirk gets bigger
She puts her hands on her hips "I will so kill you again,"
Vox bites his lip "Oh yeah? How will you do it?"
She steps closer "I could destroy your screen, or shoot you, maybe give you Valentino's treatment and rip your head right off your body," she leans down toward the TV man
"Yeah? Tell Daddy what else you would do to him,"
Voe's eyes pop open "Who??"
"Fuck, I've been waiting for this day,"
"What do you think is about to happen here?"
"Are you not about to kill me?"
She steps back "Wait a minute, you want me to kill you?"
"Uh yeah! I was kinda jealous that you gave Val better treatment than me. I think I deserve better,"
"Why do you want to die?"
"'Cuz I wanna get off,"
Voe blinks in disgust "Did you do this as some sick way to get my attention?"
Vox shrugs as this is obvious
"What's wrong with you?"
He stands "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?? Don't come in here with empty threats!!"
Voe looks around in confusion
"Gosh, you're just as phony as Alastor! Get the hell out!"
"I-" she looks around in disbelief, then busts her way out of the building
Voe and Alastor are sitting on her bed, her legs laid across his lap. He's playing with her toes.
"Guess who had an eventful day?" she asks
"I'm guessing that it's you?' he raises his eyebrow with a close-lipped smile
She smiles at him "Yes it was. Guess who has to fix their theater because there's now a hole in it?"
"I'll go with...you, final answer,"
Voe laughs "Yeah, and it was Vox who destroyed it,"
"Hmm, I know you took care of him,"
"I actually didn't because the man is a freak who gets off to being killed!"
He smirks "Hmmm yes, that,"
Voe leans in "Wait, so you knew this?"
"Mhmm,"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I like to let people figure things out for themselves,"
She shakes her head "I thought you cared about me,"
"I do care about you," he bites her toes
She giggles and stares at him "Alastor?
"Hmm?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Mhmm?"
Voe plays with her fingers "Why do you want to keep us private?"
"I just want to take things slow, to make sure I no longer feel hurt. I also don't want people to use you as a way to hurt me, think of it as me protecting us,"
"I can take care of myself,"
"There are things you can protect yourself from but many things you cannot,"
"Like what?"
Alastor lids his eyes "Perhaps we should discuss something else,"
Voe pokes out her lips "You want to hear something about me?"
"Sure,"
She thinks for a moment "I used to take antidepressants,"
"Hmm?"
"They're pills that you take when your brain can't make you happy,"
He tilts his head "How strange, a pill that makes you happy. Well isn't that just the best thing since sliced bread,"
"What else would you like me to tell you?" She offers
"What do they do for...'autism' now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, when I was alive the 'autism' was 'cured' with lobotomies. Do they still do that now?"
She shakes her head "No, lobotomies are considered inhumane,"
"Hmm,"
"And autism is usually treated with special kinds of therapy,"
"Like electroshock?"
"No," she tries not the smile "Can I tell you something?"
"Sure,"
She fiddles with her fingers "I am not a psychiatrist, but you strike me as autistic,"
"I am a lot of things, but I do not think I am autistic,"
"Of course you don't,"
"Too bad there are no actual psychiatrists here,"
"Ask me more," she tells him
"Like what?"
"Anything,"
He strokes his chin "Why do you always think I'm making fun of you?"
Voe blinks "Because you're mean," she smiles "But seriously, people used to make fun of me all the time. Other kids and adults alike, it's so strange that doctors couldn't see it for a while because the kids in school had frickin' radars for it. Adults felt the need to remind us that I was a 'strange' child, everyone let me know that I wasn't normal. So I'm on guard for it, all the time. That's why,"
"Hmm,"
"You do a lot of thinking instead of talking,"
"Is that a problem?" he raises his brows
She shakes her head "It's just perfect,"
