You hear whimpering coming from the closet to your right, soft and hoarse.
It wasn't Husk, nor Alastor so that only left one person. You open the door slowly, peaking into the darkness and finding the source of the sound. Angel sat curled into a ball, his four arms wrapping around him as pink tears from from his eyes. You feel a pang of sympathy for the spider and you crawl into the closet yourself, shutting the door gently behind.
" Hiding from Alastor? " Angel just nodded, burying his fluffy head into his arms.
" All I did was break a vase by accident " Really? That was what Alastor was upset about? A small vase? You didn't know Charlie but from the photos she looked like a sweet enough woman and you were sure a small broken vase wouldn't bother her so why did the radio demon make such a fuss? You sigh, putting your hand on Angel's shoulder, softly rubbing his jacket in comfort. The sobs soon subsided, cries becoming sniffles as the spider lifted his head to meet your gaze, his eyes glistening despite the darkness. Your black lips curl into a smile as you pull Angel gently into a hug. His fur was so warm, almost comforting and you felt like if you stayed in the hug any longer, you would fall asleep on his poofy chest.
" Thanks Babycakes. I gotta keep up appearances. Can't have my adorin' fans seeing me so low " Fans? Was Angel famous? You raise your brow at his wording, causing the demon to chuckle.
" Oh yeah you don't know huh? I'm quite a big deal down here. A sort of star " You needed to know more, this seeming the perfect opportunity to get to know Angel a little better. You smiled, encouraging the spider to continue his explantation.
" Hehe. I'm saying no more. Not my type " For a few moments you pondered his words, until something finally clicked and you knew there and then that he need say no more. You grab Angel's hand, pulling him back into the open slowly, the sudden onslaught of light offending your eye from the exposure.
" Get out here for a few hours Angel. Come back when he's calmed down " Angel just scoffs, a complete 360 turn from the person you saw a mere moment ago. He had his whit back, his spark but you could see deep down he knew you were right.
However, before Angel could even answer back or step away you heard the front door open. Two shadows stood in the doorway, feminine shadows. They edged closer in the dark, finally stepping into the light. What a sight. Two female demons with a somewhat normal looking appearance. The blonde turns to you, smiling sweetly and kindly. It was Charlie, the princess of hell.
" Oh my gosh! A customer! " She shook your hand almost violently, her voice adorable and sickly sweet.
" Welcome to the happy hotel! "
