Helluva Boss X Reader (Season 1)

CHAPTER 86: HEART & GROWL

Moxxie: Can't you think of anything less absurd, sir?

Blitzø leaned back in his chair, letting out a long, irritated sigh.

Blitzø: Oh, c'mon. You never like anything I suggest.

Moxxie: Because that plan makes absolutely NO sense!

Blitzø: It makes plenty of sense., it's the perfect plan!

Millie: Eeeh...

At Millie's doubtful expression, Blitzø immediately straightened up.

Blitzø: Oh, what—don't tell me you're not backing me up either.

Millie leaned toward him with a tight, polite smile.

Millie: It's just... I don't quite see what learnin' how to defuse a bomb has to do with trainin'.

Blitzø: Did ya forget the part where she'd be fightin' all of us at the same time while doin' it, Mills?

Millie shook her head, frustrated.

Millie: The BOMB, Blitzø. The BOMB is the problem... I mean... even we don't know how to defuse one of those.

Moxxie crossed his arms, tail flicking..

Moxxie: And frankly, I doubt you even know how to build one.

The Imp snapped his head toward his employee.

Blitzø: Oh yeah? And you do?

Moxxie: I'm a hitman, not a terrorist.

Blitzø jabbed a finger in his direction.

Blitzø: YOU'RE the weapons expert! If ya don't know how to make a grenade, then why the fuck are you even here?

Moxxie: A grenade is not the same thing as a bomb!

Blitzø waved him off and dropped back into his chair.

Blitzø: Yeah, yeah, okay. Whatever. Y'know what? So far, all I'm hearin' is complainin'—not a single good idea.

His employee's tail swished again.

Moxxie: It's not like your ideas are any better, sir. Not the laser one, not the jetpack one, and certainly not the horse one.

Blitzø slammed his hands on the desk, leaning forward.

Blitzø: The horseback chase was the BEST IDEA! Just 'cause you're the only one here who can't ride—

Millie: And what makes you think I can?

Millie interrupted. She peeked between them, cutting the tension. Blitzø froze.

He turned toward her slowly, cautious.

Blitzø: Well... you're—

She narrowed her eyes.

Millie: Wrathian?

Blitzø gulped.

Blitzø: I mean— I just thought you cou—

Millie: Oh, I can ride.

She smiled thinly.

Millie: But assummin' I can just 'cause I'm from Wrath's insulting.

Blitzø dragged a hand down his face with a low growl.

Blitzø: Can we please focus on the plan instead of startin' another fucking argument?
