Rest for but a moment
Summary: Every moment spent at the playtime factory was stressful, despite this Angel and the remaining toys find a way to show joy is still possible even in times as painful as these AN: Hello lovelives!! I am back with another fic this time a Poppy playtime one because I refuse to acknowledge canon<3 This is set in an Au where the Player (Angel is what I'm calling him) can make the choices to save the toys he encounters. So Huggy, Mommy, Dogday, Yarnaby, with safe Haven pretty much acting as a home base for the Toys that Angel rescues. This is set a little after initial stuff in Chapter 4 but just before Chapter 5. I hope you all enjoy :3
Angels body ached.
Seriously he was going to need some serious painkillers when he got out of this....if he got out of this that is.
The source of today's particular strife was a long gash in his left arm thanks to a jagged piece of metal he'd so kindly cut it against running from the little nightmare critters-normally he'd found he could avoid the things and scare them off but once they got into a pack and tired to swarm him his only option was to pretty much run or fight for his life-and as of late he'd been going for the latter. It wasn't too deep thankfully, nothing some bandages and expired healing cream couldn't fix. But it hurt like hell and did little to uplift his current mood, not that there was a lot that could uplift his current mood in the child experimentation factory-but he digressed.
He was exhausted, still recovering from his fight with sawyer. Even though it had been at least a day-it was hard to tell time down here-it could have been weeks since he'd been stuck in this hellhole for all he knew-his body still suffered the consequences of the fight.
He wanted to move on-to keep going deeper into the factory;but that meant leaving the toys vulnerable to the prototype. He knew logistically that the toys had been surviving down here for years without him-but now that he was here he felt responsible for them. They had all just been kids, kids forced to grow up far too fast in bodies that didn't truly belong to them. He needed to be the adult here. The real adult.
And maybe at first that had been out of guilt, but lately he had come to genuinely care for the toys. And while some of them still didn't fully trust him; Huggy and Mommy still regarded him with a cautious wariness despite the fact he'd managed to talk them down into not killing him and coming with him to the safe haven, he knew some of them genuinely viewed him as an escape from this place-a savior. An Angel so to speak. An irony he saw in his own name. So, despite knowing in order to put an end to all of this he would need to transverse deeper into the factory to put an end to the prototype, he found himself lingering at the safe haven still-going out and trying in vein to find any sort of food for the toys-something to leave them before he left for however long he was gone.
There were benefits to being human sized, and while he was by no means a small human, compared to the massive 'bigger bodied' toys he had an advantage in squeezing into smaller places-getting into areas where survivors of the hour of joy may have held up and where they may have had food.
His efforts today however-had been futile. The area was crawling with critters, who's minds were too far gone to be reasoned with-as much as Angel had tried. He didn't know if it was because of the Prototype or the fact that Sawyer was no longer around to scare them off. Regardless the only thing he'd been able to acquire during this run had been a cut on his arm and a bite on his ankle. He grunted as he dropped down from the vent, wincing at the strain on his knees-he was get far too old for this. Alas the vents were one of the safest ways to travel, and one of the fastest ways to get to the entrance of the safe haven.
The doors were closed, as they always were nowadays, so he had to knock on them in the distinct way he and the other bigger bodies had discussed-there was a beat or two that passed before the heavy doors wretched their way open and he stumbled in. Immediately dark lighting was replaced by the gentle glow of fairy lights, the grimy walls painted over with murals of children's drawings and writing. Inside it still smelled, but everywhere in their factory stunk. Showers would have to be the main priority when they got out of here. If they got out of here.
A small weight of stress was lifted from his shoulders the moment he stepped foot into the Safe haven, and he immediately took the chance to take a seat on the ground right then and there-slipping off his GrabPack from his shoulders and groaning from the relief of the weight on his back. A large shadow covered him and he glanced up to find Doey starring down at him, the large Toys hands were linked together nervously-the features carved into the dough on his face shifting to resemble concern.
"Angel? Are you alright?" He asked, the empty sockets of his molded in eyes seemed to scan over him-searching for any sign of injury. Angel was quick to wave him off. "I'm fine bud, just did a lot more running and climbing then I would have liked." He sighed, standing up and brushing himself off. He offered what he hoped was a reassuring smile.
Doeys frown deepened on his face; "You were gone for a lot longer then you said you'd be-some of us were starting to get worried."
Angel waved him off; "There were a lot more critters out and about today-had to go the long way to avoid them." Doey let out a slight noise at that, his concerned expression morphing into something a bit harsher-voice shifting tone and lowering an octave. "You should let us go with you, It's getting more dangerous out there."
Angel picked up on the shift in tone in Doeys voice-he had read the tapes; he knew who Doey had once been before the experiments, and after spending more time around the bigger body he was starting to be able to pick up on the shifts in who was primarily in control at the time. He hesitated for a second, before he gently placed a hand on Doeys arm-the play-dough esc clay he was made out of felt unnaturally warm at the touch, his fingers sinking slightly into the soft firmness of it.
"Hey, its alright. I can handle myself out there trust me. Plus; I feel a lot better having you guys be together in the haven where its safe."
Touch was a fickle subject between the toys-from him in particular at least. But thankfully Doey didn't flinch or pull away, instead his shoulders slumped just slightly and his expression shifted into something softer as he went back to wringing his large hands together.
"I know.....but still; it worries us when you leave for so long; it makes us think something happened to you...or that you've left on your own..."
Angel couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt at that, the idea of just leaving everything behind and escaping on his own had-in the worst moments-briefly entered his mind. But those thoughts had been quashed just as soon as he'd had them; the idea of abandoning these poor kids down here to a fate worse then death made him feel sick to his stomach.
He shifted to instead rest his hand over Doeys larger ones, stilling them in their anxious fiddling.
"Doey I'm not just gonna leave you guys here, I made a promise I'd get you guys out and I intend on keeping that promise."
Doey looked down at him, his face scrunched up slightly in a way that briefly made Angel wonder if he was going to cry-if he even could cry that is-but thankfully the moment passed and instead Doeys face broke out into a slight smile. He reached out and gently pet Angel a top the head with a large hand.
"Thanks bud...." He muttered, he gave Angel a once over and his expression shifted once more into concern.
"Maybe you should take a pit-stop over at the infirmary and get those wounds of yours cleaned up-I gotta mess around with the generator, come find me when your all rested up."
Angel gave a nod, reaching down he picked up his GrabPack by the straps and simply chose to drag it along the floor rather then go through the strenuous effort of picking it up and carrying it.
He made his way further into the safe haven, being sure to carefully avoid any of the little toys that skittered about. Over the past days...weeks, again he didn't know; that he'd been down here the little toys-the little ones as he called them-had slowly come to grow more comfortable with his presence. Some would even seek him out for comfort or games when Doey wasn't around.
Today he made a straight beeline towards the 'infirmary' which was really just a particularly large blanket fort where they kept all of their scrounged up medial supplies; stopping along the way to kick the ball into the goal just once at the little ones insistence (they liked watching him do tricks with the ball).
He was stopped just short of actually approaching the infirmary when he caught sight of who was currently inside; Kissy and Huggy were both curled inside the blanket fort-huddled close next to each other in some semblance of comfort. Yarnaby was sprawled out on his side at the two larger toys feet; the three large toys all crammed cuddled together in the comparatively small space.
Angel blinked a few times, before his expression softened at the sight. It was surreal to see Huggy-a toy who had initially hunted him down like a wild animal-look so calm and for the most part relaxed. He watched them for a moment longer before he turned and started to head away in the opposite direction.
Had it just been Kissy and Yarnaby maybe Angel would have gone over and settled with them;but him and Huggy were still in a rocky stage of trust so he didn't wanna risk the large toys ire....or risk getting swung at.
Instead he found his way over to an open pile of pillows cushioned up against the corner of a wall in front of a painted mural of the smiling critters all holding hands and smiling. He settled against the pillows, tilting his head back to rest against the wall.
God he was tired, the weight of everything baring down on him now that he wasn't currently pumped full of pure adrenaline. His body still ached reminding him of his current injuries; both new and old. He sighed, letting his eyes slip closed.
Maybe just a quick little nap couldn't hurt......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angel woke up to the sound of screaming.
Immediately his eyes snapped open and he sat up, scrambling for his GrabPack. His mind was instantly flooded with the worst possible case scenarios; had the prototype broken in? Had one of the bigger bodies snapped again? Had the generator failed-where was Doey? Dogday? What had happened-
He anxiously spiraling thoughts were came to a quick halt when the scream that had ripped him away from sleep dissolved into a chorus of high pitched laughter.
Angel blinked, his body freezing mid panicked scramble as his mind rushed to catch up to what he was hearing. Laughter was a strange almost foreign sound to here down at this place; and for a moment Angel wondered if he was somehow still dreaming.
He wasn't; he came to find out, as he finally lifted his head to look out into the open area of the safe haven. Doey was there, arms spread out to make himself look as big as possible-a wide playful grin of his face as a bunch of little toys scattered away from him all laughing.
They....they were playing.
Angel let out a breath of relief, practically slumping against the wall behind him. They were just messing around, having fun. No one was hurt thank god.
He settled against the wall, smiling and chuckling to himself as he watched Doey take off after the scattering toys. Moving at a purposely slow pace to give the little ones a chance at getting away, stretching out his arms to make fake grabs for them; drawing out even more peals of laughter.
One of the little toys, a mini little Dogday, made a beeline in Angels direction. Giggling and breathless as they scrambled over, Angel watching them with a raised brow as the little one wedged themselves behind Angels back.
"What are you doing?" Angel asks, lifting an arm and twisting his body slightly to try and get a good look at the toy; who ducked further back behind him with a squeak.
"Hiding!" They giggled, and Angel felt his smile widened. The little toys joy was genuinely infectious.
"Oh? From who?" He asked, dropping his voice into a playful whisper, the little Dogday giggled.
"From the Monster!"
Angel let out a low hum, making a show of frantically looking around drawing more giggles from the toy.
"What Monster? Where?"
"There!" The little one laughed, and Angels smile widened.
"There......Oh! You mean right here!"
Carefully he reached behind himself with his other arm, gently snatching up the toy out from behind him; the little toys barely weighed as much as a weighted stuffed animal so it was easy to tuck the mini Dogday into one of his arms.
The tiny Dogday squeaked in surprise before they, to Angels relief that he hadn't scared the little guy, burst into a fresh round of giggles. Giddily squirming in his hold.
Angel chuckled, low and playful, before with an air of cautious gentleness he reached down with his free hand to gently wiggle his fingers into the toys plush tummy.
The effect was instant, the toys giggles shifted into full blow peals of happy laughter as they smacked uselessly at his hand with their plush paws. Angels eyes were squinted from how widely he was grinning, a consistent chuckle rumbling in his chest as he shifted from wiggling to gently scratching at the toys tummy.
He kept his touch gentle and his grip loose so the little one could escape at any point they got uncomfortable. To his delight however, the little one showed no signs of wanting to get away. Their laughter was high pitched and genuinely happy, and their squirming was halfhearted at best.
He was so immersed in the little game that he failed to notice the impending shadow looming over him, that is until he felt two large hands wrap around his middle and pull him up before yanking him back. The little Dogday tumbling from his arms and landing safely on the pile of pillows; still giggling.
He yelped in genuine surprise as he was unceremoniously left dangling in the air, looking down he found two familiar dough-formed hands wrapped around his middle seconds before he came face to face with Doey, who had a stern look on his face.
For a split second there was a moment of genuine fear, a reminder of just how strong these toys were and how quickly helpless Angel could become if they decided he was a threat that needed to be dealt with.
The fear was quickly squashed when Doeys stern look quickly morphed into a large grin, flashing sharp teeth as he spoke in a playfully low tone.
"Picking on someone smaller then you Angel? That's not very nice."
Angel blinked, before he huffed. "We were just playing Doey."
Doeys grin widened, his molded in eyes squinting with the size of it.
"Seemed more like bullying to me."
Angel yelped as he was shifted and turned around to face a gathering of little toys all giggling as they peered up at him, Angel blinked-feeling a bit like perhaps he was in danger.
"Alright guys, now what should we do with the bully?"
There was a chorus of giggling and mutters, before one of the little toys spoke up laughter in their voice.
"Eat him!"
Angel snorted while the little ones, including Doey, all giggled at the suggestion, Doey shook his head.
"Nah I don't think he'd be very tasty, he kinda stinks."
Angel let out a genuine noise of offense to that, it wasn't his fault he stunk, this whole factory smelled bad and it wasn't like there were any showers around. Sides he didn't smell that bad-
The little gathering of toys all seemed to muttered amongst each other, like a grand council deciding Angels fate-before one of them spoke up above the others.
"Tickle him!"
That suggestion quickly gained interest, the rest of the toys all quickly clambering to show their support at the idea. Angel blinked, feeling his stomach drop.
"Hey...Hey now wait a minute-"
"Great idea guys!" Doey grinned "Give him a taste of his own medicine!"
"Hey! Wait-Doey!" Angel sputtered as the large toy carefully started to lower him towards the ground and towards the mischievous swarm of awaiting toys. He felt a bit like he was being lowered into a pool filled with hungry piranhas.
As soon as he was on the ground, Doey shifting his hold to instead wrap around Angels arms instead of his middle, he was swarmed. The little toys clambered over top of him-poking and prodding anywhere they could reach with their little paws.
Angel jerked with a strangled yelp, a wide grin immediately found its way onto his face-breathy little chuckles and huffs of air leaving him as he tried his best to curl up and protect himself from the onslaught.
To be honest, it didn't really tickle all the much. His clothes were just thick enough that the toys plush hands couldn't do too much damage, it was mostly just the silliness of the situation and how genuinely happy the toys looked that drew laughter out of him-and he was fine with playing up his reaction for their sake. From behind him however, Doey took notice.
"Here guys let me help-"
From the arms keeping Angel held down-another set of small arms and hands formed from the dough-descending their way down and joining the other toys in their attack.
Angel actually jerked in surprise when he felt the bigger bodies fingers dig right under his arms, unlike the little toys softer plush paws-Doeys hands were bigger and firmer with actual fingers. In other words, now it actually did tickled.
His huffy chuckles quickly turned into full blow peals of laughter as Doeys fingers wiggled their way from under his arms and down to his ribs, Angels laughter getting more and more frantic the lower down he went.
"H-hehehey! Wait-C-Cohohome on guys!"
The little toys all seemed delighted by his reactions, giggling right alongside him as they continued to clamber over him-trying in their own way to get him to make more silly sounds.
From behind him Doey giggled. "Bullies get what bullies deserve~" he sing songed, Angel groaned through his laughter.
"Ihihihi wasnt-Ahahaha!"
He was cut off by his own laughter when Doey shifted one of his extra hands down to lift up his shirt, giving the little toys the ability to actually do some damage now that his shirt wasn't in the way-that combined with Doeys other hand still going to town on his ribs just about drove Angel up the wall.
He threw his head back as he cackled, forcing himself to stay completely still in fear if he started squirming he'd accidentally throw one of the toys off and hurt them. That and, well, it had been a long time since he'd actually laughed like this-especially since entering the factory. And more importantly, the toys looked genuinely just happy-like for a moment they could forget the horror of their situation and just be kids again. Something that warmed his heart to see, even if it was at his own expense.
He was so caught up in his own mirth he didn't even notice the sound of heavy footsteps approaching him until they came to a stop right at his side, he cracked open an eye and looked up to find Kissy standing over him. Her head cocked to the side.
For a second Angel thought she had come over to rescue him, she'd always been the most merciful of the bunch, but that hope was quickly crushed when she crouched down and reached out carefully with one of her large hands-wiggling it underneath his chin almost hesitantly.
He snorted, scrunching up his shoulders in a vein attempt to get away. Above him Kissy little out this little rumbling sound-her version of laughter is what he assumed.
A few more minutes passed before Doey finally took mercy on him, retracting his extra pair of hands and carefully lifting Angel up off the ground and out of reach of the little toys.
"Alright alright, I think he's had enough-we don't wanna kill our Angel after all."
A few of the little toys seemed disappointed that the game was over, but it didn't last long and soon enough they were all scrambling off to chase each other around-the playful high having not quite worn off just yet.
Angel hung limply in Doeys grip, he let out a little groan-still trying to catch his breath and quell his laughter. Doey chuckled and gave him a little shake.
"You alright bud?" He asked and Angel let out a slight grumble.
"After everything I've done for you guys....this is how you repay me..."
Doey let out a laugh which shook his frame, giving Angel another little shake.
"Don't be like that! It was all in good fun!....Sides..." Doeys tone dropped from something playful to something softer-more vulnerable
"It was...nice to get to see them all laugh like that....its...its been rough these past few days...."
Angel, as slightly grumpy as he was at the whole situation, softened immediately.
"Yeah, I know bud....I'm happy to see them happy too...even if it was at my own expense."
Doey laughed again gently setting Angel back onto his feet with a rough pat a top his head.
"Awww you have to admit! It was pretty fun!"
Angel would be admitting no such thing, he huffed brushing himself off and fixing his shirt which had rudely been un-tucked from his belt during the whole scuffle.
A large gentle hand on his shoulder made him pause, and he lifted his head to meet Kissy gaze, carefully she inclined her head over towards the infirmary where Huggy and Yarnaby still were-the former watching him with a look he couldn't quite read.
Angel offered Kissy a small smile. "I'm alright Kissy-I don't need to use the infirmary right now."
Kissys gentle touch on his shoulder became a bit more firm, as she gave him a slight push towards the infirmary. Doey chuckled.
"I don't think shes gonna take no for an answer there bud."
"I...."Angel sighed. "Yeah alright alright, I'm going I'm going."
He allowed Kissy to guide him over towards the makeshift infirmary, his heart pounding slightly in his chest the closer they got to Huggy. The blue toy made no move as Kissy guided Angel to sit down amongst the pillows and blankets-Yarnaby immediately let out a soft chuffing noise-shifting to press his large head into Angels knee-Angel softened and gently ran his fingers through the toys yarn mane.
Angel let out a surprised sound when Kissy took a seat next to him, pretty much putting him stuck in between her and Huggy-he sent a nervous glance at the toy but Huggy for once didn't seem immediately aggressive at his presence-instead, to Angels genuine surprise, he shifted to lean slightly against Angels side with a soft rumbling noise. Like a large cats purr. From his other side Kissy did the same-leaving him truly trapped between the two toys.
Angel sat there for a moment, letting his brain fully process this-before he softened with a sigh. Allowing himself to lean into the warmth of the pillows and the toys around him, his shoulders dropping as he relaxed.
He wouldn't be able to rest here for very long, he still had so much work to do-so much ground to cover. But for now he could.
And when, when, they all got out of there. They'd be able to rest as much as they want...
don't mind me, just warming up before art fight

Making Things Right
Summary: Two weeks after the trial, Stolas is still in Blitz’ home, wasting away. Blitz feels shitty and undeserving for what Stolas sacrificed for him. The least he could do is try to make Stolas feel a little bit better.
Author’s Notes: This came outta NOWHERE. But I needed to get this out of my system because it was all I could think about, and Mastermind made me sad. :( They deserve to be happy. I think after all that happened, and now that they’re on the same level, that they can repair what they broke.
I might have been somewhat inspired by this artwork to make this, even unconsciously. It wasn’t my intent, but it happened. Hoping Blitz and Stolas don’t sound OOC because I’ve never written for them before. I feel like after the recent episodes that Blitz would be more soft and considerate of what he’s saying. My first Helluva Boss fic too!!
Words: ~1,400 | AO3 Link
It had been two weeks since the trial of breaking demon law was cast across every TV in Hell. Blitz was ready to sacrifice his life for his cause, and so that his family and friends - Loona, Moxxie and Millie - weren't harmed for just doing their jobs.
What he didn't expect was for Stolas to magically appear at the trial, and for him to throw everything away instead.
Blitz couldn't lie; he was extremely grateful that Stolas did this for him. Stolas took all of the blame, and even if it angered him that Stolas took the brute force of it, at least Blitz still had his head. Albeit, he was feeling extremely shitty about the whole ordeal.
But Stolas lost everything. His power, his family, his status. Blitz wasn't even sure if Stolas had the heart to contact Octavia after all of this. He had hardly heard him spoke in general across these past two weeks, which broke his heart.
He felt awful about all of this. Sure, giving the imp race new-found power was nice, he supposed. Everytime he went outside over the past couple days, fellow imps cheered for him, stopping him to congratulate him everywhere he went. And he got a whole lot more business now. He wasn't used to it. But, it didn't feel great to know this was only coming about after Stolas sacrificed himself.
Blitz returned home with a few paper bags full of groceries wrapped up in his arms, only just managing to shove his key in the door and twisting it to open the lock. He kicked the door open with his foot, bumping it closed with his hip as he stepped into his apartment.
“Stolas, I'm back.” Blitz spoke aloud, though he knew Stolas wouldn't answer. He could see Stolas’ legs hanging off the edge of the couch, as it was much too small for him. Blitz didn't even see Stolas shift upon his arrival.
Blitz paced to the kitchen, setting the bags on the countertop and stepping over to the couch where Stolas laid. He placed his hand on the top of the couch as he gazed down.
Stolas was wrapped up in a blanket like a burrito, eyes open as he watched the TV. Was he even really ‘watching’ it? Or just staring at it? Blitz frowned at the sight before him. He made his way to the front of the couch, sitting on it near Stolas’ legs.
“…” Stolas didn’t react to Blitz’s presence. Didn’t even shift.
“…I feel so fucking awful that all of this happened to you, Stolas,” Blitz let out a breath he was holding. “And I’m sorry for all the shit that happened that got you into this mess.”
Stolas finally shifted, acknowledging the imp’s presence by snaking his hand out of the safety of the blanket, weakly holding it out. Blitz took Stolas’ hand in his own, giving it a squeeze.
“But I wanna make it right. We need to make it right. Let everyone know that pompous shithead of a bird orchestrated all of this.”
Stolas gently moved himself so he was sitting more upright, his eyes finally looking at Blitz. His eyes were distant. Unfocused. Foggy.
“I’m so, so grateful you did this for me, Stolas. And I don’t even deserve it after everything I’ve put you through. I’ll probably be spending the rest of my life paying you back. I didn’t deserve your generosity, your kindness. Your love. I’ve been the worst fucking person to you, and I regret it. I’m the lowest of the low. But, I wanna make this right. If you’ll let me.” He let his emotions pour out through his words, his voice wavering.
The owl had tears in his eyes, threatening to fall down his cheeks. He sniffled. “Thank you… so much, Blitz…” Stolas’ voice was quiet. “I’m glad I have at least someone on my side…”
Blitz reached his hands out, cupping Stolas’ face and wiping his tears away with his thumbs. “Anything to undo the mistakes I’ve made. And to make you smile again.”
The owl’s heart swelled as the imp spoke. He was being genuine, for the first time. Stolas gave Blitz a small smile, the first one in quite a while even before this whole ordeal. But Blitz wasn’t satisfied with how small it was.
“C’monnnn, you can totally fucking do better than that.” The imp teased the owl, grinning.
“That’s all I can really muster right now… really…” his face leaned into Blitz’s warm hands.
Blitz’s grin only grew wider, the cogs in his brain turning. He had an idea. “Well, why don’t I help ya out?” Blitz’s hands left Stolas’ face in search of the blanket wrapped around Stolas’s body, digging around for an opening.
Stolas’ eyes widened in alarm, knowing exactly what he was up to. “Wait, r-really Blitz, you don’t need to dO THIS—!”
The owl let out a yelp and immediately bit his lip as the imp managed to find his ribs through the blankets and feathers. Blitz’s ready hands latched on and started squeezing them as Stolas gawked, but was able to silence himself. He grabbed onto Blitz’ wrists, squirming about as Blitz tickled him.
Blitz chuckled as he continued, his fingers rummaging through Stolas’ soft feathers. “You might as well let it all out. I know you need this right now.”
Stolas shook his head in denial, laughter threatening to bubble out from his throat.
“Well, suit yourself.”
Blitz started to tickle whenever he could reach - under his arms, counting his ribs, wiggling along his sides, scratching at his belly. He was surprised Stolas could last this long without exploding, though he looked close. Stolas’ face was as red as Blitz’s skin at this point.
Blitz stopped for a moment, Stolas quickly took in greedy breaths. “Satan Christ, there must be somewhere that’ll break you,” his eyes darted around Stolas’ body for more ideas. When Blitz turned his body around to face the lower half of Stolas’ body, the owl started to freak out.
“No no no no, BLITZ, do NOT even TRY!” Stolas begged, raising his voice. Blitz smirked devilishly as he eyed off Stolas’ knees. He leaned over - going for the kill - squeezing just above his kneecaps.
The dam broke, Stolas couldn’t hold it in anymore. He burst out with a mix of laughter and hoots as his body shook. He thrashed about, kicking his legs and bucking his body.
It was hard for Blitz to hang on. He stretched and wrapped his tail around Stolas’ body, both to stabilise himself, and to use his tail to poke into the owl’s sides. Stolas’ laugh just evolved to be more screechy at that.
“BLITZ!! It’s toohohohoho mUCH! I’m— I’m SMILING! I’M SMIHIHIHILING!! OKAHAHA?!” Stolas laughed himself silly, new tears forming in his eyes. Mirthful tears.
The imp turned his head to look at the owl’s face, laughing himself as he slowly ceased to a stop on his totally unwarranted assault. He stopped squeezing his knees and poking him, shifting himself around with a wide smile on his own face. “That wasn’t so bad, was it? Lettin’ it all out?”
“I suppose it— hehehe, wasn’t… awful… hahaha…” Stolas admitted as he breathed out, residual giggles escaping him. He reached up to wipe the tears from his eyes, the stretched smile still lingering on his face. “Ahaha… t-thank you, Blitz…”
“Anytime,” Blitz chuckled with a smirk as he got up from the couch with renewed vigour. “How about I make you somethin’ to eat? Probably tired after all that. Wanna help?” He stretched his hand out in offering.
Stolas wiped the remainder of the tears from his eyes, nodding as he accepted his hand in his. “I’m afraid I’m not the best cook - all I can really make is a bowl of cereal.”
“Eh, I’m shit at it too. I usually get Loonie to make food. She’s a lot fucking better than me at it. I nearly lit the apartment on fire once.”
Stolas let out a giggle as he was led by the hand to the kitchen.
Finally, a step in the right direction.
Imagine a cozy night in, watching horror movies and tangled in fluffy blankets. We cling to each other through the jump scares and as I hide my face in your chest, you just can’t help but sneak a toe up my sole to distract me. With a squeak from me and the evilest (cutest 🫠) laugh from you, in no time we’re wrestling warm, bare feet into a messy, tickly knot as we giggle away 🥰
Soon, you’ve had enough and pull yourself from the cocoon of snug blankets, grabbing at my ankles and locking them in your arms. 🙈 Now starts the real fun, as you trace soft, gentle fingertips from my heels to my toes and scribble back down my soles, again and again. And I can promise you, I will be melting, giggling up a storm as I bury my face into your back or side 🫠
And don’t think you aren’t getting away without some payback! Some teasing squeezes and airy scribbles to your side that will get you just as giggly cause man! How I love your laugh and smile! 😍
Uh oh! I’ve done it now! Pinned down by my wrists into the pillow, you nuzzle tickly kisses and nibbles into my neck as an expert, nimble hand delves into my side. Up and down my ribs you squeeze like your fingers belong in the spaces between the bones, before darting a thumb to massage that especially sensitive bone of the hip.
All I can do, all I want to do, is laugh away into the crook of your shoulder, warmer and cozier than the blankets ever were. 🥰Your teasing voice is like nectar drawing a bee into the flower, making me a puddle in your arms for you to tickle as long as you like! 🫠🙈
And the film… forgotten long ago! 🫣
Even the devil has his weakness
Summary: Lucifer loves messing around with the residents of the Hazbin Hotel. His main target is Alastor and he loves playing with the deer demons patience. But what happens when said deer demon runs out of his patience? And what happens when Charlie offers her help to Alastor, so the Radio Demon can get some well deserved revenge? Turns out that even the devil himself has a little weakness of his own...

Even the devil has his weakness
With a long and loud sigh, Alastor dropped onto one of the bar stools and buried his face in his arms, which he had previously placed onto the bar counter.
A behavior, that made Husker raise an eyebrow, because he wasn't used to anything like this from his boss. Alastor was a demon who never lost his composure, who always had everything under control and if that wasn't the case, he never showed his discomfort in front of anyone else.
But today he was the complete opposite from the feared Radio Demon he pretended to be day in and day out and the barkeeper couldn't help but feel the corners of his mouth twitch upwards a little in pure amusement.
"Is everything all right, Boss?"
A grumble was the only answer Husker got to his question and that alone amused him even more. He could already guess why Alastor was in such a foul mood and he'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy watching the demon, who had him on a leash, suffer a little and he could already think of someone who had annoyed him so much that he got into this state now.
A lot had changed since Lucifer had moved into the hotel after the battle against Adam and his angels.
Husker had imagined many things under the name of "Lucifer", but certainly not the fact that the freaking devil himself could be like a hyperactive child when he wanted to be and yes, even for him there were days when he could only shake his head. It wasn't just once that he wished he was somewhere else, just so he could have some peace and quiet from all of these crazy demons and fallen angels around him that slowly drove him nuts.
But his Boss was usually the one who suffered mostly under Lucifer’s presence and that alone was reason enough for him to stay in the hotel and simply enjoy the show. Just as he had done again today…
The day had gone off to a good start, because when Alastor had been preparing lunch for them all in the late morning, Lucifer had appeared in the kitchen and one thing led to another. One tickly claw dragged across his back and Alastor nearly dropped his pot of freshly cooked Jambalaya and that alone would have been the starting signal for the Apocalypse. Fortunately, he had just managed to hold on to the pot just in time, glaring fire arrows at Lucifer, who had just smirked at him, before he had left the kitchen to leave him alone until lunch time.
Revenge followed only an hour later when lunch was served. Alastor had made Lucifer's portion extra spicy and the King of Hell suddenly didn't look so high and mighty anymore, as tears streamed down his bright golden face and sweat drops had gathered on his forehead. But stubborn as he was, he had tried not to let it show how much the spiciness of the food bothered him. Even though his golden face had spoken volumes and in the end he had even asked for a second serving, just so as not to embarrass himself in front of the Radio Demon.
In the afternoon, the quarrel went into the next round and this time it had been Charlie who got caught in the middle of it...literally. The young princess had made herself comfortable on one of the sofas in the lobby, when Alastor and Lucifer joined her. And barely a minute later, the two of them started arguing about who could put a smile on her face the quickest. In the end, it turned into a competition to see who could make Charlie laugh the hardest and the two had tickled the young demoness so much that Husker had to intervene.
Charlie had then quickly disappeared into her room, still laughing, and the two brawlers had looked for something else in which they could beat each other up.
It was now evening and the hotel was finally quiet.
Alastor winced slightly, when Husker put a glass filled with whiskey in front of his face.
"Calms the nerves," was the cat demon's short comment, before he resumed his work, which consisted of polishing a few glasses.
Alastor remained silent, only grumbling softly and downing the glass in one go, much to Husker's amazement.
"I would never have dreamed of, that the dreaded Radio Demon of all people would be sitting at my bar, looking like he needed to get something off his chest."
Alastor would have liked to wipe the broad grin off Husker’s face, but he was too tired and too annoyed even for that. Living with Lucifer was really pulling on his nerve strings and maybe, just maybe, he wasn't entirely innocent. Maybe he should just stop deliberately messing with that dwarf? But...it was so much fun to mess around with him...
"I don't need to get anything off my chest. I just need a few minutes' rest, that's all. Then I'll be off again, as Charlie and I have a few documents to go through and since our dear King isn't in the hotel at the moment, we'll take the opportunity and the peace to get this done quickly," he grumbled quietly.
"All right. But...if you do want to talk, you know where to find me."
Another grumble, louder this time and Alastor stood up without a comment, turned his back on him and disappeared into one of the hotel corridors with a half-hearted wave and he tried to ignore the broad and slightly gleeful grin on Husker's face...
The silence in the hotel lasted an hour until Lucifer returned.
As the devil entered the lobby and let his gaze wander around, he raised an eyebrow questioningly when he saw no one. Except for Husker, who was still standing behind the bar, pulling a face like seven days of acid rain.
"Hey Kitty, where's everyone else gone?"
The cat demon couldn't help growling, when Lucifer directed those words at him. It was bad enough that Angel called him one stupid nickname after another or that Alastor treated him like a pet, but now the King of Hell was starting with this shit too? Could his life get any shittier?
"I don't know. Angel and Vaggie went out earlier to get something for the hotel. I don't know when they'll be back. Niffty's off somewhere taking care of bugs and Charlie and Alastor are upstairs, working on something together."
"Aha, that all sounds totally interesting but...wait a minute…what did you just say? Charlie and Alastor? Up there? Together?"
"I wouldn't worry about that."
The fallen angel raised an eyebrow questioningly as Husker uttered those words. The look Lucifer could see in his eyes set his alarm bells ringing though, but he tried not to let it show. But he didn’t succeed in that at all.
"I should go upstairs and see what they're up to. Just to be on the safe side, you know? After all, I now know who Alastor is and how…dangerous he can be. Not that he'll do anything bad to Charlie. I mean, she's up there all alone with him and this could be quite dangerous you know? I better check on them..."
Even as he spoke, he was already walking towards the corridor that would lead him to his daughter’s room and Husker didn't even get the chance to shout anything after him. It would have been pointless anyway, as Lucifer, still talking to himself, had already turned the next corner and disappeared into the corridor.
The bartender could only roll his eyes with another growl and clap a hand over his face, as he could already see the next catastrophe ahead of him and could only wait for the inevitable bang that would surely follow soon...
Lucifer was oblivious to such thoughts, as he continued to walk down the corridor, muttering quietly to himself. And the closer he got to Charlie's room door, the more nervous he became, as he thought up all sorts of scenarios. Each with the same result: Charlie, undressed, on her bed and a certain deer demon...also undressed...also on her bed...
"Tze, “working on something”. Of course you are. So that's what they call it today, huh?" he growled quietly to himself and he quickened his steps a little more and the closer he got to the door, the faster his heart was pounding in his chest, as he imagined the wildest scenarios in his head that would certainly give him nightmares tonight.
When he reached the door, he paused and listened.
He couldn't hear anything suspicious and no other sound reached his ears...or...hadn't there just been a noise?
He pressed his ear against the door and listened even harder and sure enough, he could hear his daughter's voice on the other side of the door and...
"Alastor..."
He growled out the name and listened intently.
"Are you sure there's enough room on your bed?"
"Of course, Al. Just make yourself comfortable."
Lucifer felt his right eyelid begin to twitch and his claws threatened to dig into the wood of the door.
"May I leave my coat there?"
"Of course you can. But you could have left it in your room in the first place. I mean, you don't need it now anyway, with what we're doing here."
“Fair enough. And Charlie, dear, we don’t need to use your bed. We can always change over to using your desk, if that’s more comfortable for you.”
And that was the straw that broke the camel's back and the moment when Lucifer couldn't hold himself back any longer and let the helicopter dad off the leash.
Growling, he grabbed the doorknob and tore the door open with a loud "AHA! I finally caught you two during..."
He paused abruptly in mid-sentence and took in the image before his eyes at that moment:
Charlie was sitting on her bed, a sea of documents next to her, which she was trying to sort through until the door was ripped open and her father came stomping in. Alastor was standing slightly away from the bed and had just hung his coat over the armrest of an armchair. He looked at Lucifer with wide eyes and couldn't quite process what had just happened or what accusation he was facing all of a sudden.
When it finally made “click” inside his head, his face turned bright red. Partly out of anger and partly out of shame, at having been accused of something like this.
"What the...?! Dad! Have you gone completely mad?"
Charlie said what the Radio Demon was thinking and apparently the young princess was just as annoyed as he was about the accusation. Her scowl just spoke volumes and it made even the devil himself cringe.
"But...I...I mean...I thought you two would...well...you and him, alone in your room…I thought..." the devil stammered to himself and with every word that left his lips, his voice became more desperate and a slight golden glow settled over his face, as the embarrassment now rose within him as well.
"What did you think Dad? That we were having sex here?"
Out of the corner of her eye, Charlie could see how Alastor flinched at the word. She knew he was a demon who refrained from certain physical activities and she respected that and apparently her father hadn't been told about it yet, otherwise he wouldn't be standing here now, golden-faced and stammering helplessly, hoping to find some excuses to justify him stomping into her room like a lunatic. He also seemed to forget the crucial point that she was already together with Vaggie. Oh man, that was so typical of her father. He only heard the name "Alastor" and thought the worst...
"What? No, never, little apple. I would never think that…Uhhh...well...maybe I would? I mean, you two have been spending a lot of time together lately. Can you blame your old man for having second thoughts?"
"Dad! Alastor and I are business partners. We work together. He keeps the hotel running with me and there's a lot of work that we share or sometimes work on together. Nothing more. So relax."
By now, her anger had faded and given way to amusement as she saw the golden blush on her father's cheeks intensify and a sideways glance at Alastor told her that the normally big, bad Radio Demon had now lost his composure as well, which he was desperately trying to regain. He cast death glares in Lucifer's direction and only seemed to be able to stop himself from causing a bloodbath here and now because of Charlie.
"How about the mighty King leaves us alone now, so we can continue our work?" Alastor pressed out behind gritted teeth and Charlie thought the lights in her room flickered briefly, as the Radio Demon’s rage seemed to spread slowly and was almost palpable.
"Calm down, Al," she said, as his eyes turned into radio dials.
"Oh, come on, Rudolph. Don't twist your cute little tail over a simple misunderstanding~."
And that was the spark that detonated the bomb.
With an animalistic growl, Alastor manifested some tentacles from his back, which grabbed the King of Hell, who couldn't react that quickly and before he knew what was happening, he was thrown back-first onto the bed. Documents whirled around, as he fell onto the bed, trickling carelessly to the floor, for Alastor no longer had eyes for them, but only for the prey he had just caught. A smaller tentacle slammed the door of the room shut, while the rest literally tied Lucifer to the bed.
"Charlie, dear, please, make him shut up already. I can't take it anymore!" the deer demon growled, as he sat down on the bed next to Lucifer's head and rubbed his temples with both index fingers, which inevitably made Charlie giggle and earned her a playful glare from the larger demon.
“I am serious. When I hear him speak, my headache is getting a headache too…”
It was always highly amusing to see how quickly her father managed to upset the otherwise so composed and polite deer demon.
"Come on, Al, you're not exactly innocent either. After all, you let my dad provoke you all the time and you provoke him too. It's not just me who's getting fed up with your banters, you know? How about you two finally sort it out?"
"No way!" was the synchronized reply of the two brawlers and now it was Charlie who rubbed both of her temples in frustration.
"Annoying Bambi is my new purpose in life," the King of Hell said with a broad grin on his face and he didn't seem the least bit frightened that he was lying there and could hardly move. He could free himself at any time, but who said that he wanted to? No, he was far too curious about what was going to happen and besides, he was bored anyway. This was a welcome change from the dull afternoon he had spent pretty much on his own. And if he was honest: He hated being alone…
And besides, he would take every opportunity, no matter how small, to annoy this stag. It always worked so well with him. Just like now, because Alastor growled into his face, when he sat down comfortably on the bed above his head and then motioned for Charlie to join him. Which the princess did. However, she sat down at her father's side and grinned down at him.
There was a look in her eyes that made Lucifer feel very uneasy and he felt a nervous flutter in his stomach, which he didn't like at all.
"You really should stop provoking him, Dad. Haven't you teased him more than enough today? At some point it really has to be enough."
"Oh please. What did I do that was so bad?"
"Are you serious?" the Radio Demon hissed with a hint of radio static in his voice and when Lucifer put his head back to look him in the face, the larger demon looked at him so darkly that it sent a little shiver down his spine.
"Now don't be like that. Nothing bad has happened."
"Dad, seriously. Stop it. You almost ruined Alastor's lunch today, which he spent a really long time on, cooking. And what happened after that...well, I don't even want to talk about that."
This earned the young demoness a broad grin from her father and also from Alastor, as they knew what she was referring to: The spontaneous tickle attack in the lobby, which even Husker had had to intervene in.
"Ha, ha, very funny!" she grumbled and she couldn't prevent the slight blush appearing on her cheeks.
"While we're on the subject, I’ve just got the perfect idea to get the excess energy out of you and give Alastor and maybe even me some revenge on you."
The fallen angel looked at her skeptically with a raised eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
Alastor perked up his ears curiously and hung on Charlie's lips, as she continued talking.
"First you torture Alastor in front of the whole group a few weeks ago, then you almost ruin his lunch and you keep teasing me too all day long."
"Oh come on, Char, Char. I wouldn't call that torture. You saw for yourself that Bambi didn't mind and had a lot of fun, otherwise he wouldn't have provoked me further in the end, so I kept going," the King grinned and waggled his eyebrows mischievously, as he looked up briefly at Alastor and noticed the slight blush on his cheeks that gave him away. But the stag remained silent and vehemently avoided eye contact with him, only grumbling quietly to himself.
"Besides, I could have moved the whole thing to his radio tower. It would have been interesting if the whole of hell had found out that good old Al bleats like a fawn when you tickle him...or that he's ticklish in general."
The Radio Demon's eyes darkened upon hearing this.
"I would strongly advise against that, Your Majesty! I wouldn't want you to end up in my radio tower!"
"Relax, little buck. My lips are sealed. This stays between us, so don't worry. I'm just teasing you a little."
"You've teased me long enough! Charlie is right: we should urgently do something about your excess energy, Your Highness."
"Oho, when you say that, it sounds kind of dirty. Please go on~."
"Charlie! Please, shut him up already!" Alastor growled darkly and he seemed to be on the verge of losing his last bit of patience now.
The princess had to stifle a laugh, as she listened to their bickering. These two really were worse than any demon child she knew. Like a mixture of water and oil. Or rather like the spark that hit dry grass and then ended in an inferno.
But she could understand Alastor and that he was fed up by all the sex jokes that had been raining down on him recently. First it was Angel who had started all of this and now her father was also doing this kind of jokes in his presence. The latest joke had almost made Alastor tear him apart. He was about to leave the hotel to visit his friend, Rosie, and her father had caught this and had called after him, if he was about to go full “bow chicka wow wow” on his “girlfriend”. Fortunately, Charlie could intervene and prevent Alastor from killing her father (not that he was capable of doing this, but he would have destroyed her hotel for sure), as radio dials had appeared in his eyes, spinning dangerously and he had snarled like a beast at him, before she had managed to push him out of the main door of the hotel to separate him from her father…
She was pulled out of her thoughts, as her father kept messing around with Alastor, even in his current predicament. Oh man, he would never learn his lesson…
"What was that, Rudolph? So weak and pathetic that you have to beg my daughter for help? I really expected something different from such a strong and scary demon like you. Or are you not all that, huh? Are you just acting so strong to hide the cute little fawn that's inside you and that I tickled out of you a few weeks ago?"
"Ohhh, that's enough!" Alastor hissed and he clapped his hand over Lucifer's mouth.
"Just shut up!"
He could see the mischievous grin twinkling in the king's eyes and with a startled squeak, he quickly withdrew his hand.
"Did you just lick my hand?"
"Otherwise you wouldn't have taken it from my mouth."
"That's disgusting!" the younger demon grumbled and, bold as he was, he brought his hand to Lucifer's side and wiped the spit off on his coat. The loud squeak that cut the air shortly afterwards surprised him so much that he quickly pulled his hand away and stared down at the King in amazement, who avoided any eye contact with him and was biting his lower lip so as not to give himself away.
"What in the unholy hell was that?"
A giggle, coming from Charlie, drew his attention back to the King's daughter and he looked at her questioningly.
"Actually, I wasn't going to tell you, but it would only have been a matter of time before you found out on your own anyway."
"What? What would I have found out? Come on, my dear, out with it!"
"My father is ticklish. And I don't just mean a little ticklish, I mean really ticklish. Even worse than you." She uttered the last words with a teasing grin, which made Alastor grumble.
"Oh please...I'm not that ticklish..."
"No, of course not. You were just screaming through the whole lobby when my dad and I tickled you."
Alastor's face immediately rivaled his clothes.
"Ohhh, this sight was simply divine~," Lucifer teased him now too. Again with that mischievous twinkle in his eye and a teasing waggle of his eyebrows.
"If I were you, I wouldn't speak such big words anymore, my King. Not after the information I've just heard. In the position you're in right now, it would really be fatal to test that theory, wouldn't it?"
"Charlie is lying..." was all the fallen angel had to say and he pouted like a little child and avoided eye contact with Alastor and his daughter, who giggled again at the words and immediately scooted a little closer to him.
"You know very well that I'm not lying, Dad. You are by far the most ticklish being in the history of creation."
"Now you're totally exaggerating, Char, Char."
"Oh really?"
"Really. Go ahead and try. I can assure you of one thing: You won't get a single sound out of me."
He said this with such seriousness in his voice that one could almost buy it. But Charlie knew better and she was only too happy to accept the challenge. When she looked into Alastor's face, she could see his eyes sparkling with anticipation and she couldn't blame him for having some vengeance pent up inside him that was now desperate to get out. Not only for the tickle attack in the lobby, but also for all the teasing and mean nicknames her father had given him. And she didn’t even start with all the dirty jokes the poor deer had had to endure recently.
"Well, let's see if you can actually keep your word, my King~. If you insist on not being ticklish, then it shouldn't be difficult for you to stay quiet and not laugh," Alastor said, whose grin became so evil that it sent another shiver down the devil's spine. But he lay still with an iron face, looked the Radio Demon firmly in the eyes and clenched his hands into fists, as he felt the tentacles around his wrists and ankles tighten their grip, stretching his arms far above his head and pinning his legs firmly to the bed.
"Do your worst, Bambi! You won't break me!"
Alastor raised an eyebrow questioningly, maintaining eye contact, as he lifted his hands, intending to bring them to the button placket of Lucifer's coat. Before his hands could even touch it, however, it suddenly burst out of the fallen angel. Like lava shooting out of an erupting volcano, his fit of mirthful laughter poured into the room, even though Alastor hadn't done anything yet and Charlie didn't do anything either, just sat next to him and giggled when she saw her father's strong reaction, which didn't come as a surprise to her.
He had always been so ticklish that it was enough already to wiggle her fingers at him to make him laugh and apparently it was still working on him.
"Wow...that went faster than I expected..." Alastor remarked as he watched the King's strong reaction with amusement and could hardly believe what he was seeing. He had imagined the devil much differently back when he had still been a human, but certainly not like this...
"No, no, no! Stop it! Bad Bambi! Bahahahad Bambihihihi! Stohohohohop!!!"
"I'm literally not doing anything. I'm not even touching you!"
Alastor really had to pull himself together not to join in with the King's cheerful laughter. He tried to remain serious, but Lucifer's laughter was so loud, sounded so cheerful and grew louder and higher with every second that he had to bite his own tongue to keep up his serious expression. And yet he hadn't done anything at all. He was just hovering his hands above his body and apparently that was already enough to make him break.
"Is it really that bad?" he asked Charlie and the princess just nodded her head, giggling.
"I told you, he's by far the most ticklish being ever."
"Interesting..."
The grin on the Radio Demon's face took on sinister proportions and he now looked more like the devil than the devil himself. Said devil was now writhing like a worm in his bonds, laughing and begging while literally nothing was happening to him at all. Oh yes, this would be very entertaining for sure…
"Oh, please don't! No! NO! Stop it you two! Please!" Lucifer said, his voice getting higher and squeakier, as Charlie started undoing the buttons on the bottom row of his coat and Alastor took care of the top row, which wasn't so easy, considering that Lucifer was wriggling around like a beached fish and making all sorts of funny noises. But that made it even more entertaining.
"The great and powerful devil, the evil of all mankind, ruler of all demons, most terrible being in the history of creation, can't even stand us just opening a few buttons on his coat. Oh, if my dear Mama could witness that. Then she certainly wouldn't be afraid of you anymore," Alastor teased him as he slowly, more than slowly, undid one button after another, before his hands met Charlie's.
"Y-you shut up, bellhohohop!"
"And why would I do that? Is it suddenly not so funny anymore when you're on the receiving end, getting a taste of your own medicine to try? It's okay to tease and mock me all day, but when the tables are turned, suddenly I’m supposed to shut up? Oh no, no, that's not how this game is played, Your Highness!"
"I have to agree with him there, Dad. You've been teasing him all day. It's only fair that you get a little taste of your own medicine. And since you're always making fun of Alastor, this should be a fitting punishment for you. At least we're giving you a reason to laugh now," Charlie said as she pushed the white coat aside and opened the red and white striped vest to reveal the white shirt her father was wearing underneath.
"He's all yours, Al."
The deer demon didn't need to be told twice. He made himself even more comfortable on the bed, bent a little over Lucifer’s head and very slowly brought both hands to his captive's sides, making tickling motions with his fingers.
"My claws can't wait! But where should they start? Maybe here, on your sides? Or maybe on your ribs? Under your arms? Or maybe on your little belly~? There's so much to choose from..." he said, enjoying the explosive reaction he was getting for his teasing, as Lucifer kept a close eye on his hands and his grin almost threatened to split his face in half. And the closer Alastor brought his hands to his body, the more the Seraph squirmed on the bed and laughed so loudly that Charlie thought it was already echoing through the entire hotel.
It was nice to see and hear her father laughing so light-heartedly again, especially as she knew that he had been going through a lot of depressive phases recently. Even if this was perhaps a little too radical, but he needed that...
"I think I'll start on the sides."
Alastor’s highly playful voice tore her out of her thoughts and she couldn’t help the amused giggle, coming out of her mouth as she enjoyed the show.
"No! No, no, no, no, no, NO! NO! PLEAHAHAHAHASE!!!" Lucifer screeched and he arched his back, laughing loudly, as Alastor's claws were about to touch his sides. But they didn't. Not yet. A few centimeters still separated them from his body, but that alone seemed to be enough to make the oh-so-great King of Hell almost go through the roof with laughter, as phantom tickles spread all over his skin. His body was already trembling and he laughed and squealed and begged, but nothing softened the heart of his tormentor.
"Just look at you. I'm not even touching you and you're already laughing your head off and begging for mercy. I thought neither I nor Charlie could get a single sound out of you? How quickly you broke your word..."
"He didn't get the title 'Father of Lies' for nothing, Al," Charlie said with a grin and she couldn't take her eyes off her father's face. He looked so happy and carefree and seemed to be having the time of his life. His reaction wasn't so strong for nothing, because a lot had built up inside him over the years and it seemed to be bursting out of him all at once. So many pent-up emotions, so much excess energy...all of it came to the surface at once now, bursting out in a wave of laughter and squeals and shrieks and snorts, even though the actual tickle attack hadn't even begun yet.
Tickling Alastor had already been funny, but her father took it to a whole new level and the knowledge, that he allowed them to do this to him, was just the cherry on top, because he could free himself at any time, but chosed not to, as he was clearly having a lot of fun with fooling around like this.
"Okay, okay, okay! I was lying! But like you didn't do that when it was your turn, Alphonso!"
The deer demon gritted his teeth, before a growl rose from his throat again and his ears pinned back.
"Stop calling me those stupid nicknames already!"
"A-and if I don't want to, you grumpy old moose? Then what?"
Alastor felt his eyelid twitch dangerously and for a moment he wrapped himself in silence, until...
"AHHHHH! No! NO! NOHOHOHOHO! Please! Don't do that! Not there! NOT THERE!!!"
Lucifer nearly exploded with laughter, as Alastor brought his claws under his arms and wiggled them across the thin fabric of his shirt. All the while, he kept his eyes on the fallen angel, delighting in his reactions or the way his face scrunched up, before he started laughing so loudly he was sure it could be heard through the walls of the room. He tore at his restraints like a savage, writhing back and forth, but he couldn't escape his fingers as they mercilessly followed his every move.
"Then this “grumpy, old moose” will do this!" Alastor remarked, smirking as he walked his fingers over Lucifer's trembling and surprisingly ticklish arms, before they reached his armpits again and moved over them like spider legs, causing his victim to wince and squeal loudly.
"Okay! OKAHAHAHAY! I'll take it back! AHHH PLEASE! Stohohohop it! Al, pleahahahase!!!"
"Oho, all of a sudden the moose is turning into Al? We're making progress~."
He took his hands out of the angel's armpits and gave him a little break, which Lucifer gratefully accepted, as he dropped back onto the bed and filled his lungs with fresh oxygen. A soft giggle still came out of his mouth, which got a little louder when Charlie wiped two small tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Just a few seconds of tickling is enough to bring the King of Hell to his knees? That's pretty pathetic..."
"Oh, you know what, Alastor? Screw you!"
"What? Can't handle the truth? Can't handle the fact that you're just too ticklish for this world? That I might only need a single claw to defeat you? Oh, what am I talking about? As ticklish as you are, I would only need a small feather to defeat you. Ohhh, just imagine my next broadcast: The King of Hell, defeated by a fluffy little feather, because he is way too ticklish for his own good. Hell would go crazy over this~."
With every word spoken, the golden blush on the fallen angel's cheeks intensified and he mumbled something into his non-existent beard, which the younger demon couldn’t understand. As dark as Lucifer scowled at him, it wasn’t something nice though.
Alastor could hardly believe what he was seeing. He, a mortal soul, brought the King of Hell to his knees with a few simple words. He had truly messed with many demons in the past. Powerful Overlords and other nasty fellows, that hell had to offer, but Lucifer? The Lucifer? The damn devil himself? Bringing him to his knees gave him the greatest feeling of power he had ever felt and yet...there was something else mixed in. It wasn't this sadistic feeling of superiority that was now affecting him, but something completely different: he was having fun. Honest fun. Something he hadn't felt for a while. Since living in the Hazbin Hotel, he found himself giving in to this feeling more and more often. Normally this should worry, even scare him, but it didn’t. Not anymore…
Charlie had been the first to make him feel that way. Then it had been Niffty, and gradually the rest of that crazy gang and now the bloody King of Hell himself. Even though they were often fighting about something, Alastor couldn't deny the fact that he did enjoy these banters. He loved the attention he got and Lucifer still gave him this strange feeling of what it would be like to have a father figure in his life. And he loved this feeling, had started to crave it even, especially after what had happened to him in those past seven years. Of course, he would never admit that in front of him, because the teasing that would follow would most likely drive him to the brink of complete madness and made him move out of the hotel and to Cannibal town, just to safe the last bit of his reputation and dignity.
So he kept his thoughts to himself and concentrated fully on the here and now again, because he wanted to carry on and he secretly hoped that this incredibly ticklish angel could hold out a little longer, because he didn't want it to end so soon.
As defiant as Lucifer looked at him a moment later, Alastor knew he could still take a lot, because the next teasing wasn't long in coming either and was meant to deliberately provoke him.
Apparently, Alastor wasn't the only one having fun with this silly situation...
"I can help you with feathers, little fawn. A lot of feathers, in fact. I have six wings full of them. If you wanted them, you should have just told me when you were lying here in my place. But...we can test it out sometime. Let's see how long you can stand it, huh?"
"Stand what?"
"My wingtips under your arms, on your sides, your belly, your ears, just everywhere~. Let's see how long it would take me to break you. You're making fun of me and that I'm so ticklish? Damn big words for someone who begged for mercy himself and only because I tickled his little tummy. Do you still remember that? That would also be worthy of a special broadcast: the big, bad Radio Demon can easily be brought to his knees. Just poke him in the sides and he's on the ground. Do some scratchy, scratchy to his widdle belly and he bleats like a fawn~."
Now it was Alastor's turn to turn bright red, as he just imagined this.
Great. This wasn't supposed to be like this. After all, he was the one who had tied Lucifer to the bed and was the one in charge here! He was the one tickling and teasing him and not the other way around! And yet the devil actually managed to turn the tables and throw him completely off his act with those teasing words, flustering him beyond belief. Charlie's giggling didn't make it any better; it made it worse, if that was even possible.
"Ohhh, come on, Alphonso~. I can hear your widdle tail wagging~. Looks like you really can’t wait that I test that theory, huh? And I will, be sure about that and then…Awww, now don't look at me with such bewilderment. I've known about your cute tail for a long time by now, but kept it to myself. Do you really think I missed how much it wagged when I tickled you in the lobby? Please. I noticed this right away, but didn’t say anything.”
"Stop it already..." Alastor grumbled and at that moment he seriously considered calling the whole thing off and merging with the shadows in order to get out of this embarrassing situation with some dignity left. But...that would have little to do with dignity. He would look like a coward and only show Lucifer that he was weak. He had to be strong and just rise above it. And he had to get his damn face color back under control, which wasn't even that easy when you were on the receiving end of the teasing. And his stupid tail needed to stop wagging too! That had been happening far too often lately! A little bit too often, for his taste. Oh man. Since he lived in this blasted hotel, his reputation as a feared monster was truly gone…
"Stop? Oh no, no, no, buck. I'm just getting started~. Did you know that angel feathers tickle much worse than normal feathers? No, I'm sure you didn't know that, but I'd be happy to show you. Or you can just ask my little Charlie here. She's already had her experiences with my feathers. Back then, when she got really cheeky with her old man. I pinned her down, spread my wings and then...AHHH! SHIT! CHAHAHAHARLIE!!!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Charlie had dug her fingers into his belly to quickly silencing him. Still giggling, but now also with a slight blush on her cheeks, she continued to tickle her father, not giving him a chance to finish his story. Much to the amusement of Alastor, who watched the whole thing with an amused shake of his head.
If anyone had told him before he died that this was what life in hell would be like, he would have labeled them as completely crazy.
"Aren't you going to help me, Al?"
His grin widened when Charlie asked him this question and without answering her verbally, he brought his claws back to Lucifer's body. While Charlie took care of his belly, Alastor took care of his sides, ribs and armpits, switching back and forth between the spots to keep Lucifer guessing, scratching under his arms, playing his ribs like a piano, squeezing his sides and it wasn't long before the room was filled with lots of merry laughter, loud squeals and all sorts of other funny noises, coming from Lucifer. And Alastor tried to ignore the fact that his tail was already becoming a propeller again; wagging so fast it was witness to the fact that he was still having much fun and Charlie felt no different, for she was also having the time of her life right now.
"You should have told me much earlier that he is so ticklish, dear. If I had known, it would be so easy to shut him up. I would have done this much earlier," Alastor remarked with an amused smirk and he couldn't take his eyes off Lucifer's face anymore, as he let his claws slowly stroke over his sides. Up and down and on and on, making the fallen angel jump beneath him and he tried so hard to wriggle away from the claws. His limbs tore desperately at the tentacles, but they didn't give him free and he simply had to surrender to the tickle attack.
"Stop, stop, stohohohohop, AHHH! PLEAHAHAHASE! T-two against one isn't fahahahahair!!!" the devil squeezed out under his laughing fit and he arched his back as much as he could when Alastor had found a particularly ticklish spot on his upper ribs and lingered there, just moving his index fingers teasingly over that one little spot. If he hadn't been holding Lucifer down with his tentacles, he was sure he would be jumping through the ceiling right now.
"We never said this was going to be fair~, Charlie teased him, as she was about to push his shirt up a little, only to let her fingers teasingly brush over his now bare belly. Very slowly, from one side to the other and she giggled herself as she saw the muscles twitching wildly under the pale skin and at the same time loud squeals mingled with her father's laughter.
"Pah! He tells me I can't take what I dish out, but he's not much better himself. He can't stand his own medicine at all," Alastor remarked, his grin almost splitting his own face in half. He let his index fingers slide agonizingly slowly from his ribs up into the angel's armpits again and scratched gently over the thin fabric of his shirt. His captive's laughter grew a little louder and even his hips lifted off of the bed for a second. Apparently a good spot to linger for a while...
“S-Stahahahahap ihihihihit!”
"Ohhh, what's the matter, my King? Does that tickle? But I thought you weren't ticklish? Then it shouldn't bother you at all. So why are you laughing then? Did Charlie and I perhaps do or say something funny? Don't you want to share the joke with us?"
"Y-your fahahahce is the joke, Bahahahambihihihi!"
Charlie giggled in amusement, as she saw how Alastor pinned his ears back again and gave her an annoyed look.
"After all that, he's still got such a big mouth?"
"You should know by now that my father never learns his lesson."
"He'll learn this one. We'll make sure of that..." the stag growled darkly and he focused again on that wriggling something under his claws.
"Where is he most ticklish?"
Lucifer's eyes widened and he looked pleadingly at his daughter, but she just grinned and waggled her eyebrows mischievously before looking at Alastor again.
"Try his shoulder blades. Where his wings normally meet his back. He can barely stand it."
"CHAHAHAHARLIE! Y-you little traitor! AHHHH! NOHOHOHO!!! Damn you, Alastohohohor! Get your hahahahands off mehehehe!!! Th-thahahat’s an order from your kihihihing!!!"
"If you would say the command with a little more seriousness, I might even be inclined to obey. Just stop laughing and I'll take my hands away immediately…my King~"
Alastor's grin turned slightly sadistic, as he saw Lucifer try to say something back, but all that came out of his mouth was some stammering that he couldn't provide, before a loud scream broke out of him and he began to squirm as hard as he could under the attack, as Alastor slid his hands between the mattress and his back and carefully searched for the spot Charlie had mentioned and apparently he had found it right away, judging by the explosive reaction he was receiving, as he dug his claws in.
He was all the more shocked when the wings of the fallen angel suddenly manifested themselves and almost swept him off the bed. Three pairs of huge, beautiful white and red wings were now lying there, right in front of him, shaking already and Alastor paused in his attack for a moment so that he could process the sight before his eyes. He simply ignored Charlie's amused giggles and the fact that Lucifer was still laughing like a maniac, as the princess continued to tickle his belly. At that moment, Alastor only had eyes for those glorious wings and he wanted to bury his hands in that mass of fluffy feathers. But he held back, for reasons unknown to himself.
Perhaps it was because he considered the wings of an angel to be one of his most sensitive parts and something like that was not something you just touched? After all, he didn't want to be touched on his ears or his tail just like that.
Strange that it was down here in hell that he suddenly learned something like morals...
Charlie's cheerful laughter snapped him out of his thoughts and she looked at him with a raised eyebrow, before winking mischievously at him when she apparently understood why he was suddenly so quiet, causing him to tilt his head questioningly.
"His wings are great, aren't they?" she asked, stopping her tickle attack for a moment, to let her father breathe.
Apparently she had noticed his dreamy look, which immediately brought a blush to his cheeks again and he nodded his head shyly.
"Even I have to admit that they're quite...okay," he mumbled, slightly embarrassed that she could read him like an open book.
Yes, he was just far too proud to admit that he had never seen anything more beautiful than those wings. Where would he end up if he admitted something like that out loud? And then in front of Lucifer? After all, he still wanted to keep a little bit of his dignity!
"Quite okay? They're the best thing you'll ever see in your life, Rudolph! And I can assure you of one thing: You'll soon be feeling them! Every. Single. Feather! Just you wait until I get my hands on you! I am so going to make you pay for this! Same goes for you, Charlie!"
The Radio Demon couldn't help rolling his eyes, but he tried to ignore the slight shiver that ran down his spine at Lucifer's threat and he could feel his thin fur bristling under his clothes as he was just looking at those wings and imagining how much it would tickle when those feathers touched his skin...
"That can get pretty nasty indeed. Just too bad your strongest tickle weapons are also your Achilles heel, Dad."
Alastor’s ears immediately perked up at this.
"Charlie! Stop saying things like that!"
"Why should I? I'm just making sure the odds are even if you feel like giving Al a taste of your feathers."
Lucifer was about to say something in response, but all that came out of his mouth was a loud, high-pitched scream, as he felt claws curiously slipping under his feathers, searching for the soft skin beneath. When they found it and when they started to wiggle, his laughter faded briefly into silence and his wings began flapping wildly up and down and Alastor had to be careful not to get hit. The documents from before flew through the whole room now along with a few smaller feathers from his wings and Alastor and also Charlie really had to be careful now not to get hit by one of those massive wings.
"Oh my, I didn't expect such a strong reaction..." the Radio Demon remarked with an evil grin and he carried on happily, telling Charlie to do the same, which the princess didn't need to be told twice.
“GODDAMNIT YOU TWO! AHAHAHA STOP! STOP! STOP! NOT MY WIHIHIHIHNGS! OH PLEAHAHAHASE! COME OHOHOHON! STAHAHAHAP!!” he shrieked as his laughter faded into silence once again.
They ignored his begging and while Alastor took care of the top set wings, Charlie pressed her lips against Lucifer's belly and blew a big raspberry into his skin. Another loud scream cut the air, as the devil had regained his voice, which not only made Charlie's ears ring, but Alastor's as well and the deer demon had to let go of the king’s wings and quickly grabbed his wrists with his own hands now, sensing that Lucifer was now seriously trying to break free from his tendrils, as Charlie dug her fingers into the bottom pair of his wings.
"Damn it, he's strong!!!" Alastor growled and he had to concentrate all his strength to keep him pinned to the bed, as he got to feel a tiny bit of the true power of the Seraph.
"I can't hold him much longer, Charlie, be careful," he warned the princess and only a few moments later, Lucifer managed to break free from his grip. The tendrils let go of him and disappeared and Alastor let go of his wrists at the same time and the devil disappeared in a cloud of golden dust, only to reappear at the other end of the room.
Still giggling softly, he rubbed his arms over his sides to get rid of the phantom tickles that were still maltreating his body and he quickly hid his wings again. His hair was a mess, as his hat had fallen off his head right at the beginning and was now lying carelessly on the floor next to the bedside table. His stomach muscles burned like fire and yet it was one of the best feelings for him, because it had been a long time since he had laughed this hard. He felt as light as a feather himself at that moment. As if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders...
"And they call me the devil. You two are the real devils here!" he said, as he wiped a few tears from his eyes, but his persistent giggle and broad, happy grin took all the venom out of his words and he showed Charlie and Alastor that he wasn't serious with what he had just said, that he just meant it in a playful way.
"I take that as a compliment," Alastor replied, who gave the fallen angel an amused grin, just as Charlie did.
"I'll take your word for it, bellhop."
"If you want a second round, you're welcome back on the bed. I'm sure your daughter would keep me company again."
"Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. Don't you two have something else to do? Like going through some documents?"
“You mean the documents that are now scatted through the whole room, because of you?”
“Now come on, Bambi. I am pretty sure you, as the facility manager of the hotel, can clean this up in a second.”
“Oh, why you little…”
Lucifer smirked.
“Heh, gotcha!”
"Dad, stop. You’re stalling now."
Charlie's highly amused words caused the glint of gold to return to his cheeks and he quickly cleared his throat, embarrassed.
"I'm not stalling at all!"
"Oh no?"
"No, Char, Char. I just remembered that I have something important to do myself."
"So? And what could that be, Your Majesty?" Alastor asked him teasingly.
"Something very, very important. So important that I'd rather keep it to myself. Well then, you two, see you around."
And in the next second, Lucifer was gone, leaving Alastor and Charlie sitting on the now messy bed in a mess of documents and feathers all around them, totally bewildered but still highly amused.
Did Lucifer learn his lesson that day?
Probably not...
Oh yes, life at the Hazbin Hotel wasn't easy and yet Alastor didn't want to be anywhere else but here.
As he had already said it to Niffty a few weeks ago:
One could really get used to this crazy bunch of demons and fallen angels...
