Helluva Boss: Sunshine and Moonlight

The Sin and The Singer

Hati and Molech walked out of a well-kept movie theater in Pride, giggling and talking about the movie they had just watched. Things had been going well with the couple so far, they were serious about each other but they were taking things slow and cautious. Hati was apprehensive about physical affection, given her past she wanted to keep things light for a while. Molech had no objections to this, both were still new to their relationship after all. It seemed like Hati enjoyed the movie while Molech looked displeased with what he saw.

"It was a scene about sacrificing yourself for the woman you love." the brown and white Hellhound argued.

"I understand that, but it doesn't change the fact there was room for two on that door. The honorable Jack died for nothing."

"It's a thrilling love story!"

"It's not!" Molech shouted with a chuckle.

Hati laughed and the two got into Molech's personal limousine. The driver was quiet and gave the teenagers their room as he drove. The two were casually talking and laughing, before Molech leaned in and kissed Hati a few times during the ride. The prince dropped his girlfriend off at the foot of the hotel, too afraid to go inside out of fear of Ramiel and Skoll. Needless to say, after what happened at Mortimer's birthday party neither Hati's father or brother liked Molech very much. Thankfully Charlie already knew Molech so she was quite nice and warm to him so she restrained her husband and son. After dropping his girlfriend, Molech returned to his father's castle in Wrath. It was a dark and morbid place but it was the prince's home, he went inside and was immediately greeted by an imp servant.

"Excuse me, your highness. Lord Satan requests your presence in his throne room."

Molech sighed and walked away, "Tell my father I am in no mood for him."

"He uh... requests your presence immediately, sir."

Despite not wanting to speak to his father, the prince didn't want the imp to get into trouble on his behalf. So he gave a nod of acknowledgement and the servant led him to the great hall of the palace. The servant opened the door and bowed as Molech entered, quickly closing it and running off the first chance he got. Satan sat on his throne, the shadows covering his entire body, leaving on his burning orange eyes visible.

"Father, you wanted to speak to me?" Molech asked with a disinterested and annoyed voice.

Satan's voice boomed as he spoke to his only child, "Don't not take such a tone, boy. I am no fool, you could not avoid this forever."

"And what exactly have I been avoiding?"

"This. You've taken different routes around the palace, you've been spending more time away from home and neglecting my summons. I've had enough of your insolence; it's been two months since Mammon's worthless pageant and my patience is at an end!" the Sin shouted in a demonic voice before calming down. "It is time we discussed your relationship with that... girl."

"Her name is Hati, and I shall ask that you show her some respect."

Satan growled at his son's tone and continued. "I am concerned for you, my son. Before this girl came along you were focused, driven, an unyielding force who could accomplish whatever he set his mind to. It's what made me begin considering retirement, but where is that zeal now? You have grown weak and passive; these are traits unsuited for my son and the next Sin of Wrath."

"That's what this is about." Molech realized. "Your throne."

"It is your throne as well! I have built our Ring, made it powerful and strong all so you may claim it as your own one day! I remember when you craved the power and honour of being a Sin. What changed, Molech? When did you forget your destiny?"
