Hazbin one shots

Drained pt2

Plot.
Pt2 of drained

*A few days later*

Lucifer sat at the bar wrapped in a few bandages as his body was still healing from the damage it had received, being drained by Vox's machine really did a number on him, both physically and mentally. He was reflecting on previous choices in his life and focusing more on the mistakes then the good hes done and it wasn't helping his mental state as he downed another shot, God knows how many hes had tonight already. With a wave of his hand he made another one appear. He heard a chair creak beside him as someone sat down but he didn't bother to look over.
"What do you want bell boy" he slurred out lightly with a soft hiccup at the end. Alastor looked at the clearly tipsy king, he despised him but did respect how he always kept control, self respect of himself.
"Wondering when your going to stop self loathing over here, I can hear you across the room and it makes it rather hard to enjoy my peaceful afternoon" Alastor said as he was met with a grumbling groan from the king.
"Whatever" he mumbled out as he downed another shot. Before wincing with a little hiss as a hand moved to his side where one of his cuts was. He was no where near being healed up and the moving wasn't helping anything.
"Dont you think youve had enough?" Alastor said as he watched the king summon another shot.
"Not even close..." he mumbled once more, shaking his head a little as he was getting a bit light headed and dizzy, the mixture of low blood and high alcohol intake wasn't mixing to well.
"Now..this is not how a king should behave, and its not your normal style...so somethings troubling you" Al said as he waved a hand of his own and made a glass of bourbon appear.
"And since when did you care about me" Lucifer mumbled out as he didnt even bother with a shot glass and took a swig straight from the bottle.
"Oh I dont, I just want my quietness back" Alastor said as he took a sip.
"Want me to just end myself, that work for ya" Lucifer said as he ran his finger along the rim of the bottle.
"Mmm..yes that would work quite well" Alastor said with a amused hum, but internally he didn't like that idea much..at all actually, he despised the thought but didn't want to give into the notion that he actually cared for the short king.
"But...I dont think dear Charlie would like that very much..shes already lost a mother, and she just gained a father back, dont take that away from her" Alastor said as he looked at the king.
"I might as well...about worthless now" he said with a dejected sigh.
"What do you mean by that?" Alastor asked him curiously now. There was a pause as nothing happened.
"...I spent my whole life hanging on by my finger tips...telling everybody not to worry, that I was gonna make it ok because thats my job" he said before he turned and looked at him, allowing Al to see his bloodshot eyes and wetness from crying.
"Well now I cant promise that anymore...so yeah..it makes me sick..makes me feel worthless" he said as he picked up the bottle and took a few large gulps and finished off what was left in it before tossing it over the counter, listening to it shatter on the ground before he gave a soft little hiccup.
"But..im gonna do whatever I have to do to take care of Charlie..Because im old...Im tired..and Im not sure how much longer I can hold on" he said as he looked back down at the counter.
"Not like you'd understand anyways" he mumbled out again before he got up from the chair and swayed some before grabbing onto the counter to stable himself some. Alastor watched Lucifer walk away, he looked down and noticed a few spots of yellow blood and a slow trail following the short king as he lightly limped and swayed. Alastor watched the king move over to the elevator before getting in and watching as the doors shut. Sinking into his shadows, he reappeared on the 5th floor just as the elevator doors opened and he watched Lucifer walk past him with a mumble and a hand on his side. Lucifer walked down the hallway, his small frame holding a more...dejected slump to it then normal. Al watched as he slid into his room and shut the door. A moment later Al found himself knocking on Lucifers door and listened to the slow sound of feet shuffling across the floor before the door swung open. Alastor looked at the king who wore a fake smile on his face but had dark spots under his eyes and what looked like fresh tear stains that he forgot to wipe off while his arm was wrapped around his waist and cradling some of his wounds that had yet to fully heal.
"My king...are...you alright?" Al asked which was a foreign feeling for him, and for Lucifer, it was as if someone smacked him in the face.
1. Because...no one ever asks if hes ok. And 2...its from the bell hop himself at that.
"Im just peachy.." he said as he stood there for a moment.
"Thats not what you said just a moment ago...and your wounds are bleeding again" Al said as he motioned to the floor where Lucifer was actively dripping blood once again.
"Ill live" he mumbled out some as he looked down.
"At least sit down..for Charlie?" Alastor said, Lucifer was about to refuse the offer but when Charlie was mentioned he sighed but nodded. She had already been through so much with his injuries and guilt, he didn't want to add to it.

They sat on the bed and started to talk, Lucifers drunken state mixed with his pain and mental state turned into a blabbering mess as he started venting about his day, his hardships and trauma.
"Its not your fault you know" Alastor said with a hum before Lucifer turned towards him quickly.
"Look, dont you get it!" He said as he held out his arms to his side.
"For a while I thought I could make a difference..do something right for people, free will and stuff.." he said with a sniff.
"Lucifer"
"I SCREWED UP OK!" He shouted back
"Jus...just forget it" he said as he wrapped his arms around himself and turned away from Alastor before he walked out the open doors and into his balcony.
"You dont have to be the bad guy Luci" Alastor started in as he sat on the bed.
"You.. are the most talented...most interesting..and most extraordinary person in the entire universe" He heard as Alastor continued. He heard the bed shift as Al got up from it.
"And you...are capable of amazing things..because you are special" Alastor said as he started to walk closer.
"The prophecy is made up..but it is also true..it is about all of us,..but right now its about You Lucifer..and you can still change everything" he said before he put a hand on Lucifers shoulder and turned him around before he leaned down to look the king in his eyes.
"You have the making of greatness in you, but you gotta take the helm and chart your own course, stick to it, No matter the squalls..and when the time comes to show what your made of...Well" he said as he turned and looked out over the balcony and up at the bright night sky.
"I hope im there...catching some of the light coming off you that day"

Toying with the idea of doing a pt3 or side book for this, a radioapple love story...thoughts?
