Angel x Child!Fem!Reader

Lost Soul
Author's Note: This isn't a romantic relationship, I just thought I should show Angel's soft side a bit more.

Inky darkness spread along the skyline as alarms blared obnoxiously, reverberating in Y/N's ears. Clasping her hands over her ears, she continued looking for her parents through the steady attacks of lightning as they beat the ground threateningly.

TV's were displayed all over the West side of the pentagram; a chipper, blonde women was depicted on the screens, gesturing wildly with her long nails. Y/N looked up, only understanding a few clauses from the sentences said: 'Run.. Hell.. Death?'

Just at that moment, the sky started to be engulfed by figures of all shapes and sizes, all having a sharp spear in their hand, horns erupting from the top of their heads. One of their eyes were crossed out and they wore a horrifying smile with jagged teeth.

Fear shuddered through Y/N, a sense of danger overcame her as the figures began to come towards her, each baring unchanging faces. Ignoring the sensation, Y/N ambled towards the figures, maybe she can ask them for help on finding her parents.

Angel was peering out the window, observing the foolish demons that decided to go out in an extermination. Blood curdling screams echoed throughout the city, the scarlet liquid staining the pavement.

Suddenly, a scream was heard nearby to the hotel, a fearful screech not like the others. It was high pitched and it sounded like a child?

Angel doubted this theory, inspecting the outside, taking in every detail that might account for the odd noise. In broad sight, a child was screaming, an exterminator heading straight for her.

Eyes becoming wide with fear for the small child, Angel abruptly announced he was helping her as he launched himself outside the Hotel's front door. The exterminator had his arm poised backwards, pelting the spear towards the child.

Angel threw himself at the child, pushing her out the way of the targeted area. Y/N didn't have time to react as she was scooped up by Angel's multiple arms and brought inside, all the while Angel was screaming vulgar insults at the exterminator for attempting to kill such a helpless individual.

Angel placed Y/N on the floor, kneeling down to exam her body to see if she had any wounds that needed tending to.
'You okay, kid?'

Y/N's eyes began to fill with tears, the water falling down her cheeks in an unchecked manner. The spider demon, beginning to fret, presented his clawed finger to wipe the tears away in a somewhat motherly approach.

Y/N grabbed his arm and ran into his chest, the fluffy material becoming very comforting for the distressed child. Angel proceeded, after getting over the initial shock, to hug her with his various arms, unconsciously rubbing circles into her back, allowing her to cry into his fluff.

'I'm never going to find mummy and daddy!' Y/N sobbed, burying her face deeper into his chest.

'It's ok, I'm here darling'. Angel murmured, concern clouding his voice.

'W-Who are you Mr Spider?' Y/N retracted her previous position, still holding onto his gloved wrist.

'I'm Angel, what's your name honey?'

'Y/N,' Angel presented his hand, Y/N began to shake it slowly, her little fingers grasping his glove.

'What are you doing with a literal child?'

Vaggie approached the two, her lips curled up in an infuriated snarl, she was practically tearing out strands of her hair just trying to comprehend the idea that Angel is holding a child.

'Answer my question'. Vaggie stated, trying to refrain from swearing in front of Y/N.

'Okay, okay babe,' Angel stood up, Y/N holding onto his boot, somewhat protectively, 'So this little girl was outside and the exterminator was heading for her, then I went out and retrieved her, here Y/N is.' He slightly pushed her forward, presenting her to Vaggie.

The moth demon's expression softened when she noticed the child seemed adjusted to Angel's presence, contemplating it was a nice thing for him to risk his life(?) to save a child, but no way was she going to comment on that, Angel deserves no credit.

'Alright,' Vaggie seemed hesitant but continued anyway, 'She can stay here-'

Angel broke out in cheer, picking Y/N up and swinging her around while she giggled uncontrollably, joy evident on her face as her dimples crinkled and eyes lighting up with colour.

'But, don't go thinking she can do whatever she wants, this hotel is already a shitwreck of a failure, we do not need her going around causing chaos, you are responsible for her'.

After a moment's consideration on her part, she added 'I've made a horrible mistake. But it's not like anyone else is more qualified to take care of a child, Alastor would probably murder it, Husk wouldn't care and Niffty is practically a child herself! I'm going to help Charlie with some paperwork'. She murmured some other comments after her short lived tangent as she exited the room.

Shortly after her departure, the aforementioned deer demon came into the lobby of the hotel, immediately drawn to the child in Angel's arms, he came up to them.

'So Angel.. my effeminate fellow, tell me, is this your new child?' Alastor inspected Y/N with great interest.

'Uh.. you see Al, I sort of just rescued this darling from being erased by those exterminators,' Angel loosely gestured to the window, 'I guess I'm temporarily her guardian?'

'Good luck-' Alastor stopped when Y/N reached out and stroked his deer ears gingerly, running her fingers along the strands of the hair. He allowed Y/N to stroke his ears for a short period before turning on his heel to attend to 'other business'.

Y/N turned and stared at Angel strangely, as if saying 'what's up with him?',
'Honestly, I have no clue'.
He noticed Y/N's odd behaviour, her eyes starting to droop, her legs becoming limp while in his arms.

'Alright Y/N, lets whisk you off to bed..' Angel took a strand of her hair and wrapped it around his finger carefully as he proceeded to make his way up the spiralling staircase, occasionally tripping on the crimson carpet.

Obtaining the key from his fluff, he opened the door, placing Y/N in his bed as Angel pulled the covers over her. Smoothening the surface, he ensured Y/N was comfortable, fluffing up the pillow.

'Goodnight sweet,' Angel's finger was hovering over the light switch.

Rubbing her eyes, 'Mummy used to give me a night night's kiss,' Y/N quietly murmured.

'Ah ok, just this one time kid,' Angel softly placed a kiss on Y/N's forehead, turning the light off, he made his way out the room to begin his quest on finding where he was going to sleep for the night, since a certain adorable demon occupied his bed.

But he didn't really mind.
