Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

Ch.42 - Walking Along the Boulevard at Sunset

A couple of hours after the playful cheering-up show, Balin woke up on the couch to see he was snuggled up to a sleeping Millie, who was still purring in her adorable pink cat costume.

"Purrrrrrr." *inhales* "Purrrrrrr." *inhales* "Purrrrrrr."

Meanwhile, he saw that Loona was sitting at her desk watching a cartoon on the laptop, while Blitzø, Moxxie, and Fizzarolli were nowhere to be seen.

So he decided to leave her for a bit and enjoy his snuggle time with Aunty Millie, wrapping her kitty tail around his waist.

This made her open her eyes a bit and smile.

"Awww, you still love my kitty costume, sweetie-pie?" she groggily whispered in his ear before kissing his cheek.

Loona heard this and showed a warm smile as she continued looking at her laptop. She had to admit, the tomboy's plan to cheer up the sad boy had worked like a charm.

So putting down her laptop for a bit, she slowly approached the couch and sat next to them.

As usual, she stroked Balin's hair for comfort, before stroking the fur on Millie's costume.

"Good kitty." she taunted her.

Millie teasingly started purring louder at her touch on purpose.

"Loona!" he scolded the two playfully. "Aunty Millie!"

"Ah, calm down, bud." laughed the hellhound. "We're just joking."

Millie then sat up with Balin, keeping him in the embrace of her costume as he stroked the fur on her thigh.

"Where did you get this adorable kitty cat costume, Aunty Millie?" he asked happily.

With a bright smile on her face, Millie sighed as she began explaining.

"Did I ever tell you that before I.M.P, or any superhero work, I used to be a babysitter?"

"Wow!" Balin's eyes had widened hearing that about her, an assassin.

"I know, cool, right?" she chuckled. "Since then, I rarely used my costume for anything. Other than one mission I went on a while back, and right now."

"Okay, let's stop talking now and have another cuddle." chuckled Loona.

Millie shrugged having no problem with that, and didn't hesitate to wrap her arms tightly around Balin, nuzzling her cheek into his right one like a cat.

Loona on the other hand just started licking his left one to show her dog-like affection as well.

If there was ever a more beautiful moment where a cat and dog would band together to make their owner happy, it would be this one.

After 10 seconds of this shared affection, Millie then laid on his lap and moved her head into his hands so he could scratch in between her ears.

"So, how're you feeling after all that?" asked Millie in a purr. "You good?"

Balin just nodded with a smile.

"Good. Because I want ya to know, no matter what anyone hollers, you're special to your family." Millie replied. "Even when y'all are apart, we love you too."

"The old lady's right, kiddo." added Loona. "And remember, we have the crystal that could take us anywhere in the world. Just say the word, and we'll take you to see them or anywhere else in the world."

"Even Disneyland?" gasped the boy with excitement.

The two girls just laughed softly at the thought.

"We'll see about that one, squirt." Loona chuckled, ruffling his hair.
