It's A Deal(AppleRadio)

>>Chapter 19<<

It was well into the night now, the party had ended, so everyone had either gone home, or went to a hotel room to pass out. Sighing, Charlie sat in a chair beside the bed her dad's sleeping form laid. While peering down at her father, she couldn't hold back her tears as she watched his labored breathing. He looked awful, his red cheeks were a pale pink, and dark circles formed under his eyes. He looked ill. Sensing her sadness, Jonathan nuzzled his head into the palm of her hand. Vaggie walked over to her, placing a gentle hand on her arm. "Vaggie......it's killing him....," she said quietly through he tears.

"Shhhh it's okay....he'll be okay Charlie. I mean come on this is your father, the king of hell, Lucifer. He just pushed himself too hard. A good nights rest is all he needs, and I'm sure he'll be right as rain in the morning," the moth woman tried to reassure her.

The princess wiped her eyes, giving a gentle smile, "I'm sure you're right....it's just..."

"Hun....-"

A pained groan from the devil caught their attention. He stirred until his serpent eyes opened. Charlie immediately sprung up from the chair, "Dad!" His eyes widened at the sound of her voice, he quickly sat up as he looked over at her, only to cough. Bright crimson splattered onto the bed's comforter. Vaggie was quick to act, forcing the king to lay back, "Your highness please, rest."

"How...how did I get to this room...?"

He croaked, his voice quiet yet raspy. "Alastor carried you here dad....," his daughter answered, placing a hand over his. "Please...bring him here...."

Charlie looked at her white haired girlfriend, who nodded, "I'll go get him, stay here with your father."

She watched Vaggie leave the room, before her attention went back to him.

Resting on the sofas in the lobby, Alastor, Husk, Angel, and Niffty has just got all the decorations down and thrown out. They even got the kitchen cleaned up, though it was mainly Niffty and Alastor who cleaned that.

"So, Smiles, why didn't ya mention ya had a thing for royals," the spider asked while he scratched Husk's head.

"I do not have a "thing" for anyone—"

"Bullshit...," the drunk cat interrupted him. Knowing damn well he could get away with it unlike the others.

Alastor blinked his red eyes, "I beg you're pardon?"

"You heard me asshole, I call bullshit," Husk's orange irises turned to look at him, "Face it Alastor. You've gained feelings for—"

"I dO nOt!"

Symbols started forming around his head as Husk tried to expose these so called feelings of his. The cat rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Fire all the fuckin' symbols at me you want!"

"Uh....Husky...," Angel began to get nervous as reality started to glitch around all of them. While Niffty just looked concerned for Al. Now Husk stood up, "Glitch reality all you want, you know I'm fucking right!"

"aRe NoT!"

The winged demon growled at the other's rejection, "Yes I am! Face the fuckin' facts Al! YOU ARE IN LOVE!"

Everything instantly snapped back to normal, as dapper demon had so many emotions shifting in his head. Angel pulled onto Husk, whispering to him, "Damn are ya fuckin' suicidal babe?!

"Nope, he's just throwing a little shit fit and I'm tired of it," the feline replied as his brown sclera eyes looked back the other's rust red ones. He could tell every emotion Alastor was feeling just by looking at him.
