Charlie was the princess of hell, so she should know things. After all most royals know almost everything, but umm....not Charlie.
To put it simply she lived a sheltered life. She was never aloud to level the castle and if her parents didn't like it, well she never learned anything about a topic. For Satan's sake, she never learned what heterosexual meant ip until she turned 12 because her father didn't want her to be hetero normative or something. To be honest she had no idea.
Thus why she never really learned about this thing up on earth called the LGBTQ+. Well, that wasn't exactly true.
She learned about the L, the G, the B and the T. Yet, anything past the Q she had no idea about. Mainly because not a lot of people working with her family didn't identify with the other labels or even labels at all. So if you weren't gay, bi or trans, Charlie had no idea what you were.
It's not like it was her fault though. She wanted to learn and hated to hurt peoples feelings. Thus why she felt very very bad about misgendering their new non-binary guest in Hazbin hotel.
Or course the demon understood. Everyone did. They just told Charlie it was fine. No one was upset because she didn't know....well that is everyone but Charlie.
She was very upset. She cried. Like in public for five seconds and apologized to them for days,
This started with a new search for information. All about the parts of the LGBTQ+ community she had no idea existed. She discovered a lot over that time. Like a lot a lot. She found out about Pansexual and their amazing fall in her opinion. She learned so much that she started to believe she knew it all.
Thus why this was confusing her.
She had just watched Angel flirt with Alastor again. He normally did but, well today was different. Once angel walked off someone asked if he would ever settle down. Alastor response was no and he explained he was a sexual, which to Charlie made no sense.
Like sexuals's definition can be a number of things. One of them was
relating to the instincts, physiological processes, and activities connected with physical attraction or intimate physical contact between individuals. Non of which she had witnessed from Alastor. If so, then he was saying he was attraction. Like he was the connection between individuals.
Another definition stated sexual was relating to the two sexes or to gender. She had never seen Alastor ever relate to anyone. Like at all. He was disconnected with almost everything, Like he was living in like the 1920's, while everyone was in 2010. Which now that Charlie thought about it made less sense, cause Angel was from 1920 and he could still relate, but you get what she meant.
The third definition said sexual was a process involving the fusion of gametes. Now this one could apply to Alastor because....well she didn't know what a gamete was. She was almost certain it was a board game. Maybe Alastor was saying he was the embodiment of a body game.
Oh maybe he was like the game scrabble! She loved that game!
But, before she went around calling him by his true name, scrabble, she needed to know what to call him. You know to avoid further embarrassment.
"Soo...scrabble." Charlie smirked sitting down on the couch glancing up at him. Alastor looked up at her tilting his head like a dog a bit. He looked a little confused.
"Did you lose a letter from it again?" Alastor asked looking around for a second.
"Wh..No! No is what you identify as right?!" Charlie asked.
".no....no I don't.....Charlie what in all of hell made you think that?" He sighs sitting down on the couch next to her. His red eyes seemed a bit more curious then his happy smile showed.
"Well I heard you say you were A sexual. And you know it's the process involving the fusion of gametes, right? So what board game are you?" She asked innocently. Alastor looked her dead in the eyes before bursting out in a laugh. He smiled brighter than normal laughing loudly while Charlie turned red.
The laughing continued a bit longer.
"No, no Charlie that's no what a gamete is."
"It's not?"
"No. Gametes are sex cells. Everyone is made up of those and has them.."
"So...so we're all asexual?"
"No, that's not what it means. I mean we are all made up of sexual activities but I identify as asexual." Aslstor sighed grinning happily. Clearly this was the most amount of fun he had in a while. Charlie looked confused thinking for a second. She looked like a little puppy looking for its lost bone.
"B...but I thought you were the radio demon?" She mumbled under her breathing which hit a tiny chuckle out of Alastor. He just sighed happily and smiled.
"Charlie, I'm both. I'm the radio demon and asexual....Asexual means I don't have sexual feelings towards anyone and don't have any association with sexuality. Does tat make sense?" He asks smiling. Charlie blushed nodding her head, feeling like a fool.
"The what seemed to be the problem darling?" He asks.
"I should have known that..I mean I'm bisexual...I should know all about the community I'm in." She sighs.
"Charlie, we never stop learning, even in death. I mean we find out about ourselves all the time. I mean child look at me I'm much much more older than you and just this week that you can now cook things in a tv box called a microwave that heats it up!...do you get what I'm saying?" He asked only to get chalice shaking her head no in response. He sighed trying to think of another way to word it.
"Look, people learn things all the time. You never stop. And you wanna know why?" Alastor asked.
"Kinda yeah.." Charlie mumbled.
"The world always changes. I mean child when I was alive there was only 2 sexualities around. There was hetero and gay. One was known throughout everywhere as normal and the other was viewed as an abomination. Now a days, the world has evolved so much that you can identify as anything and love who ever you want, as long as it's not hurting other. The world is changing all the time and as it does new information is created, so we're always learning." Alastor explained slowly with a comforting smile. Charlie smiled back.
"Yeah that makes much more sense." She smiled before hugging the other demon. Alastor froze up before smiling wrapping his arms around his younger friend.
"Thank you Alastor." She whispered, closing her eyes and hugging him tight making him smile bright. He sighed rubbing her back, smiling to himself. If he had a daughter he wished they were just like Charlie.
"Don't mention it darling..."He smiled before pulling out of the hug. "No off to bed with you. It's past your usual bedtime and Vaggie will be up there waiting for you by now. I'm sure she'd love to hear about today." He smiled getting up, the helping Charlie to her feet.
The blind demon nodded before hugging him one more time. Once she was done she raced off to the elevator, heading up to bed. Alastor smiled before heading back to work.
After all, there no such thing as sleep with so much work to do around this hotel.
