Fawning for You [A Hazbin Hotel Fanfiction]

Someone Gets Hurt (Reprise)

"Hey baby, hey," she walks up to her children, they both stare before Alyson crawls away. Vernie, however, stared up at his mother and watched her movement. Voe squats down and sits before her son "Hi baby," she says. She is met with wide eyes and no movement or response. "Come to Mommy?" she holds her hands out for him as he continues to stare up. Voe drops her hands and just stares back at him "I'll win your heart one day," she pouts at him

Vernie stares as Voe gets up and walks away, making a little bleat.

"They'll get to know you, they just gotta get used to you," he turns to Cherri "Is that it?"

She shrugs "I don't know, I'm not a mother," she puts a piece of gum in her mouth

"So," Angel starts again "How do you plan on getting your souls back?"

Voe shrugs "I have no idea. Most of them went back to the Vees, so they're not even claimable,"

"Why don't you just go kill 'em again?" Cherri offered

"You could do that," Angel agreed "Show them who Voe the Beau is,"

"Eh,"

"What? What's wrong toots?"

"I was a different woman when I did that,"

"What? It's because you're a mother now?" Cherri rolled her eye

Voe shrugs again "Being a mother changes you!"

"You and Smiles, bringing down your rep!"

"Hate to say it toots, but this is Hell, if you want those souls back, you gotta get your hands dirty,"

She tilts her head "Can I be honest?"

"Eh, sure,"

"I'm not that upset that they're gone. I mean being an overlord did matter to me, and I'm glad that I achieved it, but I don't know if it's a goal that I want to keep pursuing,"

Cherri hits Angel's arm "See Angie? And you thought she was gonna be mad that you went back to Val!"

Voe whips her head around "What?!"

Angel glares at Cherri as she slinks away "Oh shit...."

Voe steps up to Angel "You went back to Valentino?"

"Look, I needed a job and-"

"After everything he's done to you?!"

"He's done things for me too!"

Voe is flabbergasted "I've done things for you,"

Angel furrows his brows "Look, I'm grateful for everything you've done, but," he seems exasperated "Val's the one that made me famous!"

"Yeah? So?"

"I'm tired of being unknown! There were people on my live last week asking 'Who the fuck is Angel Dust'? Can you believe that? 'Just some porn actor' they said. I'm not just 'some porn actor', I'm the porn actor!"

"So fame is worth more than your safety??"

"Yes," he sounds resolute, but she can tell that he's unsure "I won a Sex-xx-i Award! 5 years in a row!"

"And what did it feel like? Huh? When you came home and Val would smack you because you deviated from the approved speech, or didn't smile correctly?"

"I don't care about all that! I care about fame! I want millions of people to see me on their screens. I can't be forgotten! I want to be loved again! "
