(While writing this, I remembered not everyone celebrates Christmas. I'm sorry if this feels exclusive.)

You thought long and hard for at least an hour about the song you were going to sing but nothing came to mind. You wanted it to be special and beautiful since it was your first Christmas in hell.

Plus you couldn't stay focused on the song. All of your thoughts drifted to Alastor. Singing with him.

"That's it!" You jumped off of your bed and ran to Alastor's room. You knocked on the door and waited for him to come.

When he opened the door, you immediately started speaking.

"Alastor, do you want to sing a duet of 'Home for the Holidays' with me for my Christmas performance?" You held his hands and swung them side to side. Alastor nodded.

"I would love to sing with you!" He bent down to your level and planted a kiss on your cheek. "It would be a dream come true, my dear," he said smoothly before closing his door once more.

You get heat rise to your face as your tail fluffed out and you raised a hand to your cheek. You gently touched where Alastor had kissed you and let a smile spread across your face. You internally squealed and went back to knock on Husk's door.

You knocked on it gently and vibrated in place. Husk shuffled to the door and opened it. As soon as he did, you laughed and pounced on him, knocking him to the floor.

"HUSK HUSK HUSK HUSK HUSK!" you were still vibrating from your excitement.

"What the fuck, (y/n), you don't pounce on someone," he shoved you off him and stood up, brushing himself off. "Also, what?"

"Alastor and I are going to sing together at Christmas AND! and and and and and..." You sprung up off the floor.

"What what what what what?"

"He kissed me on the cheek!" You said it so high pitched and full of happiness, Husk almost didn't catch it.

"I FUCKING KNEW IT," he grabbed your shoulders and shook you. "I KNEW HE LIKED YOU. I FUCKING KNEW IT!" his wings flapped a bit while his tail flicked wildly. His eyes were wide and he had a genuine smile on his face.

Your air was catching in your throat from the build up of elation inside of your body. Your day couldn't possibly get better.

You pressed the green call button and waited for Blue to pick up.

"Hello?" Their voice asked through the phone.

"Hey Blue!" You said, barely containing yourself.

"Oh hey, (y/n), what's up?"

"Do you want to go get some lunch at a Cafe?" You placed your hand on your hip and looked at your clock. It was only 11:30.

"Yeah, I have zero plans today. It'd be nice to hang out with someone for once in my afterlife," they chuckled.

"Great! Meet you at the Hazbin Hotel in an hour?" You laid sprawled yourself out on your comfortable bed.

Not nearly as comfortable as the one at Al's house, you thought.

"Why there?"

Cause I live there, Blue," you smiled even though they couldn't see it.

"Oh. Makes sense. Yeah, I'll be there. Bye, (Y/n)."

"Bye, see you soon!" You said before hanging up and taking a shower.

--------------

The Cafe you went to with Blue after meeting up at the hotel was quite dainty. It had frilly table cloths and flowers in the middle of each table. They served tea and every pastry you could imagine.

"So you're telling me you're in love with the Radio Demon?" Blue was fiddling with the drawstrings of their hoodie.

"Yes."

"And you think he likes you back?"

"Yes."

"And you're absolutely certain he's not pretending so he can use you as some sort of puppet to fill his needs, murderous or sexual?"

"He's Ase, but yes."

Blue went silent for a moment and stared into the chai iced tea in their hands.

"Do you know how fucking lucky you are?" They lifted their face to look at you. Their ears were angled forward.

"I know!" You smiled and felt your stomach fill with butterflies just at the thought of Alastor.

A waitress walked over and set down a tray with two donuts on it. One was the chocolate glazed Blue ordered, and the other was a (favorite donut) that you had ordered. You picked up yours and took a big bite.

"He already had me over for dinner and I spent the night," you said after swallowing.

"In his bed with him? I want all the juicy details," Blue picked up their donut and nibbled on it.

"We slept in different rooms. Like I said, he's Asexual. Not interested in that kind of stuff," you took another bite.

"Well, he could do that if he got to trust you enough. I think some Asexuals see sex as a trust exercise. Like, if you get laid by him, and you stay with him, he'll know you're a good person to love, y'know?" Blue took a few more bites out of their donut until it was gone.

You had already finished yours.

"I know. I wouldn't mind doing that with him someday. But if he doesn't want to, I'm fine with that. I respect people's boundaries," you sipped at your chai iced tea.

"Dude, you're gonna get hungry for him some day, and you won't be able to stay calm around him until you sleep together," Blue drank their chai iced tea in one big gulp.

You looked off to the side and blushed while sighing.

"You're right. It's gonna be quite a while until he feels comfortable enough to do that," you rested your chin on your fist and your elbow on the table.

"Yeah," Blue pulled out their phone. "Aw shit, I gotta go. My boss is gonna get mad if I'm not back by the end of my lunch break. It was nice talking, (y/n)," they hopped up and ran out the door after slapping a twenty down on the table.

You got up and left too. Ready to arrange harmonies for the song you and Alastor were planning on signing together.

Only one and a half weeks...
