Helluva Boss

S2 E9: Full Moon Apology Tour

The red full moon turned the crimson sky even redder than usual. Blitzo had gone shopping for sex toys: phallus shaped candles from a shopkeeper, whips and things from the spider shopkeeper and even got a chance to see Fizzarolli's collection of gadgets. He had bought the Hell Dinger 5000 eldritch purple vibrator from Fizzarolli and was now lifting up a sack onto Stolas' balcony.

Stolas twiddled his thumbs and sat sadly on his bed.

Blitzo posed as he lifted himself over the railing. He dragged the bag over to Stolas.

"Hi-dee ha hoo ha, Stolas! Guess what I got for us? I got lots of fun shit for us to play with tonight!"

He pulled out a large candle with "Dankee" on it.

"Like this extra-large candle that smells like..." He sniffed, "...hooorny!" He tossed aside a gnome-shaped butt plug. "I got-I got whatever uh, this little guy is, but I'm sure there's some place in your cloaca we can stick it. And look at this bad boy!"

He turned on the vibrator and laughed evilly. "HAHAHA!"

Stolas sat up. "Do you...ahem, do you have my book, Blitz?"

Blitzo's smile fell, and he turned off the vibrator. "Yeah, uh, yeah, it's right here, I always bring it. Why do you..."

Stolas held out his hand. "I need it back. Permanently."

Blitzo pulled the grimoire back. "N-n-now hold on, Stolas. Come on. Is this because I've taken up skipping a few rounds with you in bed because I'm busy? That ain't fair. Alright, I-I can still hold up my end of the bargain! Alright? L-let me show you a good time tonight." He spoke seductively. "You know I caaan..."

Stolas shuddered and pulled away. "Please don't...say it like that, Blitzo. I..."

Blitzo used his hands to push open Stolas' legs. "Come onnn, bitch. You know I don't disappoint..."

Stolas briefly blushed, then shook his head. "No, no, no. There's no need. I've made up my mind." He stood up and walked away, grimoire in his arms.

Blitzo desperately followed him. "Stolas, please! I-I need this book, please! I need this book, Stolas. I will do anything."

Stolas' grimoire hovered next to him. Stolas did a small smile and showed Blitzo a small black box with a blue sigil of Asmodeus on top. He opened it, revealing an orange-yellow crystal on a teal cushion.

"This is an Asmodean crystal. It's registered in your name."

Blitzo looked confused. "Uh, what?"

Stolas flipped open the book with his magic, showing an icon of Blitzo using the crystal to travel from the Hell pentagram planet to a city on Earth, where he smashed it with his feet.

"Asmodeus has his demons legally travel to Earth for work all the time. I made the case for you to own one. You will be technically under his jurisdiction, but you will be able to go anywhere you want in the human realm without fear of consequence."

Stolas put his grimoire back on the shelf. "Without breaking demon law. You no longer need my grimoire."

"What?" Blitzo asked sheepishly.

Stolas breathed, looking downcast. "You...no longer have any obligation to see me, to touch me, to bed me, you are...you are free of me."

Blitzo examined the crystal. "I...don't understand. Why are you giving me this? Am I not, like, fucking you good enough? Because I-I can always-I can always do better..."

"Blitz," Stolas began, looking him in the eyes and putting a hand on his shoulder. "I'm giving you this because I care...very deeply for you. And I have for some time." He attached the yellow crystal to Blitzo's glove, embedding itself into his hand. The sigil of Asmodeus briefly flashed in gold. "But this transactional thing we have, it's not right anymore. It hasn't been. It never was. And now all I can see is how wrong it is to be so tethered to someone in such an unfair way...and not know how they feel. But I want you to continue to be who you are, your business."
