A Hellish Situation

A Friend In Need (side story)

(Carmine's POV)
It was a...well I don't know what day it was since time doesn't matter in hell, but it was a normal day, by hell standards. Me and the crew woke up and did our daily work around the hotel. But the only thing abnormal was that Angel wasn't there. So I went around and asked where Angel was. Not like I care where he was, but he's a patron for the hotel and Charlie's friend, so I gotta look after him. "Hey Vaggie." I said. "Hey C" She said. "Do you know where Angel is?" I said. "Uh no I don't. Probably out getting fucked or doing drugs. Or..." She said. "Or what?" I said. "Or he's at work." She said. "Work?" I said. "Yeah he's a stripper" She said. "Oh yeah" I said. "Yeah but you shouldn't really go there." She said. "Why not." I said. "Cuz his pimp is a overlord named Valentino. He doesn't really fuck around. Even though he's a pussy he still is powerful." She said. "Pfft, please. I bet he's not as powerful as Alastor isn't that right Al?" I said. "That'll be a no my good man!" Alastor said. "See? Just as I thought" I said making Vaggie smile and roll her eyes. "Yeah but why do you care anyway." Vaggie said. "...you know why." I said gesturing over to Charlie who was talking to Niffty, Husk, and Alastor. "Oh well that makes sense" She said. "Yea-" I said until the door opened and Angel came in...wearing sunglasses for some reason? "Like the look" I said. "Huh? Oh. Yeah thanks hun." Angel said sitting on the couch. I got curious to why he was wearing sunglasses so I went over to him. I then got a suspicion of why he was wearing them. "Hey" I said sitting down next. "Hey." He said. "You mind telling me why your wearing sunglasses inside?" I said. "Because I want to?" He said. "Mhm. Well you mind taking them off?" I said. "Yea I do." He said. "Just take it off I know what's underneath them so stop wasting time" I said. He then sighed and took them off showing a black eye. "There. Ya happy now?" He said. "No I'm not." I said. "Hey guy-oh my gosh Angel what happened to you?" Charlie said sitting down in the middle of us inspecting him. "It's nothing." Angel said. Charlie then looked at me waiting to for me to say something. "...Angel who did this?" I said. "...my pimp Valentino." He said. "...Alrighty then let's go have a little talk with him." I said. "What?" Everyone said except Alastor and Husk. "Yeah I'm not just gonna let this piece of shit hit one of my friends so come hurry up." I said. "Al could you..." "Sure thing Carmine!" Alastor said teleporting us into Valentino's office. "What the fuck?!?" Valentino exclaimed falling out of his chair. "Who are you gu-Angel? " Valentino said. "Hey boss." Angel said. "You Valentino?" I said walking up to him. "Yeah who's asking...wait your that human." He said. "Yeah I am" I said. I then punched him in the face making him fall. "And the prince of hell." I said. "OW! what the fuck?!?" He said. I kneeled down to him and grabbed him by his shirt. "Next time you wanna hit one of my friends, remember there will be consequences. You understand?" I said raising a fist. "YES yes!" He said putting his hands up. "Good" I said throwing him back down. "Al." I said walking towards them. "Of course." Alastor said teleporting is back to the hotel. "Wow babe that was awesome!" Charlie exclaimed hugging me jumping up and down. "Yeah you really showed him." Vaggie said. "Yes he did! Very entertaining I might say!" Alastor said. "Yeah uh thanks Carmine I appreciate it." Angel said. "Hey anything for a friend." I said. "Aww" Angel said. "Well let's that eye fixed up yeah?" Vaggie said. "Yea" Angel said as they went to go clean him up. I looked down to see Charlie looking at me with a loving gaze. "...what?" I said. "That was a very brave thing to do." Charlie said putting her arms on my shoulders. "Well as I said, anything for a friend. And I mostly did for you." I said putting my hands on her waist pulling her closer. "Well thank you." She said. "Hey. Anything for my loving wife." I said kissing her.
