"I need to find him" Hazbin Hotel (Alastor X Reader/OC)

~The Eighth~

I wake up to peace and safety. I snuggle closer to something thats hugging me. What happened last night? I've got a slight fuzz in my head. Did I get drunk? I struggle to remember. My awesome wolf part prevents hangovers. It's great! But I can't always remember things very well for a few hours after waking up. Someone is petting my ears. I lean into it. "Hmmm~"

"Morning my dear," my pillow said. Strawberries, my foggy mind recognises. I snap my eyes open. Shoot. Memories of last night come back to me. Including what I was halfway through saying before I fell asleep.

"Morning Al," I'm blushing. I can feel my face is on fire. Dear Satan!

"What, no 'Strawberry'?" Alastor's voice is full of humour.

I groan. "Uhhhh........"

He just laughs, pulling me closer. "Come one darling, you had no problem saying it last night."

"Dear Satan kill me," I mumble.

"Now, now darling," he laughs, letting me go and sitting up. "We wouldn't want that, now would we?"

"Speak for yourself," I get up walking over to my closet. I look back to see that Alastor was just watching me. "I'm getting dressed now."

He makes no move to leave. I smirk, grabbing a pair of shorts and a T and heading to the bathroom. I have a quick shower and get dressed. I walk back out and.... He's gone. I feel a surge of disappointment. My tail and ears droop and my shoulders drop. I can still smell his overwhelming scent. It's more Strawberry than power recently.

Arms encircle my waist from behind and Alastor whispers in my ear. "Disappointed, my dear?"

I gasp, spinning myself around so I can see him. I take a quick inhale. He's face not a hair's width from my. His usual grin is gone, replaced with a small smile. "I believe you have a question to finish answering?"

I blush so fricken hard, I just know it's visible from under my fur. Alastor's twitch just proves it. "What question?"

"Why aren't you scared of me?"

My heart rate flutters and I briefly think back to last night. Angle's words echoed through my mind. "Don't worry, I won't have to love you."

"B-becasue I...I....I lo-"

There's a loud knock on my door. I could hear Angle's voice from outside. I let out the breath I've been holding in, snaking out of Alastor's grip. I open the door to find Angle with a weird look on his face. He sees Alastor and it becomes a look of pure mirth. "See, told ya Toots!"

I blush harder, if that's even possible. "W-what did you want you god forsaken spider?"

"Sorry for interrupting," Angle smiles dirtily. "But there's someone at the front desk asking for you?"

"What?" Alastor and I say at the same time. I glance at him before pushing past Angle. I saunter downstairs, not going particularly fast. But then my heart stops.

"I'm telling you, you have to let me see her! Do you know how long I've been looking for Val?!" The voice cries. I freeze. But then I go faster than I've ever gone before. Tears are streaming down my face and I bound down the stairs, caution thrown out the window. "My Kitten...."

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you which room V is in!" Vaggie's exasperated voice rang through the hotel.

"Z?!" I scream. The voices stop fighting.

"VAL?!" The voice screams back. I jump the remaining stairs and bolt down the hallway, screaming 'Z?' all the way there. I stop, a whimper leaving my lips at the sight of him. He looks just like me. He's green where I'm purple, and I'm sure he'll be black where I'm white. We both just watch each other, not sure if what we're seeing is real or not.

"Um, who the hell is this dude, Toots?"

"Darling, care to explain?"

"P-princess..?" Angle and Alastor both winced, both having witnessed what I've done to people that call me that. But to me, it's all the conformation a need.

"ZAIN YOU MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLE!" I scream at him. He flinches, as if expecting some sort of fight. Everyone else just stared at me. I wanted to ask him so much. Why did he brake his promise? Why was he in Hell? "W-what took you so long?"

My voice is but a whisper, but Zain's face immediately softens. He leaps at me. "Valerie, I'm so so so so so sorry."

"Valerie?" Everyone says at once.

"Gee thanks Goo," I mumble, not at all sorry. "They didn't know my name."

"Shush," he pulls me into the biggest hug I've had in my entire life.

"You shush," I mumble into his fur. He smells like he always has. Green. Like lime's and freshly cut grass.

"Sorry, Toots," Angle interrupted. I pulled my head our from the crook of Zain's neck. He's only a little shorter than Strawberry. "But are you gonna introduce us to.... Zain, was it?"

"Sorry, guys," I laugh, not letting Zain go. I glance at Alastor, who, if I'm not wrong, seems to be brimming with jealousy. Hmm. I must be mistaken.

"Is this your boyfriend darling?" Alastor's usual strawberry changed into something of power. I just look from Zain to Alastor. I look Zain straight in the eye.

"Mmm incest~" Zain and I say in unison, bursting out laughing.

Alastor obviously didn't know what that meant, because he seemed to both deflate and enrage. I snort. "Su talun, knock it off. You're being ridiculous."

"What?" Everyone but Zain practically demand. Zain look like he's searching for something in Alastor.

"She called him-" i throw my hand over Zain's mouth.

"Shut. Up," I say. "Just because we know what it means, doesn't mean they have to."

"Even your Su talun~?" He says once I remove my hand.

"Especially Su talun!" I pause. "And he's not mine."

Angle just mutters something that sounds suspiciously like 'yet' under his breath. I swear I'll fry him.

"So?" Vaggie is the one to speak up this time. "Who in Hell is this guy? And who is he to you, V?"

"Sorry, sorry," I'm hugging Zain again, much to Alastor's displeasure. It's adorable watching him squirm, even if I'm imagining it. "This is Angle, Vaggie, Husk, Nifty, Charlie and Alastor. Or Su talun, if you will." Alastor twitched. He probably thought it was an insult. "Everyone, this is Zain Snyder."

Charlie put too and too together. "He's your-"

"Yes," I interrupt. "He's who I've been searching for. Everyone, meet my brother."

Authors note: Hey guys, just thought I'd mention that Su talun is an actual word. Yes, it's one word. if you didn't figure it out from association, too bad. ;P 

Anyway, it's from a dialect that has kinda been forgotten and it's sad. What language it is will be revealed eventually, along with why Valerie and Zain can understand it. Personal ties to this one y'all! 

Shoutout to one Mr Meltless, ya know, you're not to bad. thanks for being the Zain to my Valerie. 

Shoutout to Gacha Unifox, love ya Kitten. I wouldn't change you for anything. 

That's about it! Sorry if this note was weird, my first Authors note!
