<Hazbin Hotel>

It was morning, and a hellhound opened her eyes reluctantly to the throbbing feeling in her head, mind fluttering with thoughts of what happened last night, which unlike the last time, she knew exactly what she did. It did not matter that she was drunk. She was clearly happy.

She woke up and realized she was naked, under the sheets covering her, clothes littered around the floor, and as she stretched, she felt some pain in her stomach and neck. Moving her head back and forth she cracked her neck, satisfying her muscles. She scanned the room for the man she spent the night with, and he was sitting at the end of the bed, wearing a different outfit than he was last night. He was wearing only pants and suspenders that revealed his chest fully. His wings were down and he was singing softly to the song playing quietly on the radio.

"Mornin'" Loona called out, causing Husk to turn around and smile.

"Hey you." Husk replied with a chuckle, standing up to stretch, "god you're violent when you're goin, not that I mind~"

Loona blushed and stood up as well, wrapping her blanket around herself to walk to the bathroom.

"Shit. Hey Husk!"

"Yeah?" He replied from the bedroom.

"I.. uh.. need clothes." Loona flushed in embarrassment as she admitted it.

"Fuck" he mumbled, and she heard him walk across the room and out of it, which made Loona confused.

She didn't say anything in reply and dropped the blanket, surveying the bathroom, there was nothing special about it, just a little room with a mirror and sink, accompanied by a mirror, which she looked in.

"Woah." Loona's eyes widened slightly as she surveyed her appearance.

The hellhounds hair was completely twisted, and she had run off from her mascara, possibly from crying last night or whatever. She gasped as she touched her neck, it was tender, her voice was hoarse as well. She couldn't understand why but she didn't see any bruises so she didn't think anything of it. From that, she stepped into the shower, allowing the extremely hot water clean her, she was thankful Husk brought her to her own room, this was the bathroom with the good shampoo for hellhounds, the "tough shit" as Husk called it.

It was about 10 minutes before Husk came back, he opened the door and Loona was still showering, and he had a pair of clothes in his hands. It was a pullover hoodie he hoped fit her, and some jeans she got from Nifty and Vaggie separately, to which he thanked gracefully.

He placed it on the sink and swiftly left, not to disturb Loona as she did her thing.

"Hey darlin, Charlie wants us to do this therapy thing today!"

"Yeah? What is it?"

"No fuckin idea. But she'd love for you to come!"

"I gotta call Blitzø about this shit and I'll be down, you go ahead, I'm okay, get me some coffee tho, thanks babe!"

Husk was flustered at the nickname, and nodded to himself and left the apartment. He closed it and was met with Alastor.

"Hello my dear friend! I see you were visiting our new resident!"

"Ah!" Husk was startled by the sudden high pitch voice but composed himself and replied, "Yeah, yeah, I was. She needed clothes."

"Did she not move in already?"

"Nah, she's gonna get her stuff when she gets all this job shit dealt with."

"I see! Well, Charlie wants you-"

"Yes. I know. She told me like 10 fucking times."

"Alright! Well I am off to a meeting!" The radio demon walked past and Husk was surprised to see little eggs following him, which made his eyebrow shoot up in confusion but didn't want to further the conversation.

<5 Minutes Later, at the bar>

Husk was done with the coffee and poured it into two mugs, as he looked to see Charlie sitting at the bar.

"Hi Husk!"

"Ugh- hi."

"So... is Loona joining us for our therapy session?!"

"Yeah, yeah she is."

Charlie squealed in delight and Vaggie chuckled from next to her.

"Who's the coffee for?" Vaggie asked with a smirk on her face.

"Me?" Husk replied bluntly as if it was obvious.

"No dumbfuck, the second one."

Husk didn't know how to answer, so he decided to tell the truth, "For Loona. She got drunk as fuck last night and asked me to get her some. So. Here it is."

Husk lifted up the mugs in a sarcastic manner, splashing some on himself, making him jump a bit, hilariously pouring more on himself. He placed the mugs on the counter and ran to the nearby bathroom, cursing on the way.

The hellhound then entered through the elevator and found everyone huddled around the couch, as Husk came back, his chest and clothing now clean, he handed Loona a mug.

"Thanks," Loona blushed a little and smiled at Husk as they went to sit down.

There was a new face the hellhound had never seen before, he was a huge snake, with a top hat with another one of his eyes, mirroring his own face as he looked around the room. She recognized everyone else but looked confused as to who he was. Husk just sipped his coffee and looked extremely bored. Charlie then walked up to the group and greeted everyone, there was a huge banner with some writing on it on top of a table that read "Trusting 101".

"Hi guys! Thanks for coming! It's been brought to our attention that there may be a little.." Charlie stretched about the word little to find another word for what she was about to say, "tension! In the hotel!"

Loona sighed and looked at the snake, who was now strangling Nifty, she seemed to oddly enjoy it, Husk looked up at her concerned. She gave a little chuckle.

Vaggie could see the group was getting unfocused so she reiterated the point, "Tension that could be counterproductive to what we're trying to do here."

The girl demon then released Nifty from the snake's grasp, earning a glare and a hiss from it. Loona chuckled at the action.

"We think this group could really benefit from..."

"Trust exercises!" Charlie jumped into the air.

"Trust exercises- ah shit" Vaggie did the same but didn't sync with the Princess, causing them to fumble their words.

"Vaggie, we rehearsed this!" Charlie sighed and then turned back to the group, "we're doing trust exercises!"

Loona scrunched her nose in confusion and gestured to the stage behind Charlie and Vaggie, "So, uh, what's with the whole, uhh...this?"

Husk chimed in from beside her, not too close to attract suspicion though, "I'm not about to put on some show for these fucking chumps."

Angel saw an opportunity to flirt and annoy Husk, putting his legs on Husk's lap he said, "Oh, I will~ but it's cash up front, and I know that one", He then pointed to the snake, "can't afford me."

The snake's voice shot up in irritation, "Gross! I'd never think of it, spider!"

As Angel put his legs on Husk, Loona emitted a low growl, sending a glare at the porn star that he didn't notice. Husk did however and waved his hand to let Loona know it was okay.

Vaggie sighed and tried to get the groups attention, again, "Right, well, let's get started. Charlie?"

"Actually, I thought maybe you could take the lead on this one. I trust everyone, so maybe you know better on how to build it properly!" Charlie walked over the the group on the couch, Loona's eyes rolled.

Vaggie became extremely unsure, "What? Uhh, I don't know if I'm qualified, uh..."

"Oh, come on. It'll be easy! I'm sure you can handle this."

"Yeah...um," Vaggie looked onto the group, unsure how to handle this situation, they all looked extremely bored and grumpy, "Sure, I can handle this. No problem."

She took a deep breath and lowered her tone, in a sort of army sergeant type of manner, "All, right, so we are starting with trust falls! Each of you are going to share something vulnerable with the group about yourself and then fall backwards, while the rest of the group catches you. Got it? Who wants to go first?"

Loona and Husk looked at each other wearily, not wanting to go first. Thankfully, Charlie quickly made herself known that she wanted to.

"Ooh, ooh, me me me! Me! Me! Me!" Charlie sprinted up to Vaggie, pleading with her to let her.

"All right, get on up here."

The princess did as told and walked up on the stage, as the 5 demons sitting on the couch got up and got near the stage, Loona and Husk were still side by side.

Charlie started tearing up and choked out her vulnerability, "I... I love you guys. Like, really, really love you."

She fell backwards and Vaggie was quick to catch her, "Gotcha!"

"That...felt...good! Angel, why don't you go next?"

"Fine." The spider demon reluctantly walked up to the stage.

"This time everyone needs to catch him, okay? Unless you want me to hurt you," Vaggie threatened. 

Loona and Husk stiffened, not wanting to have anything to do with being harmed by Vaggie. 

Angel made it to the top of the stage, rubbing his chin, "Somethin' about myself, huh? How about this? I LOVE to suck-"

"I swear to fuck if you say DICKS!" Husk interjected, raising a finger as his eyes turned black. 

Loona snickered next to him, causing Husk to elbow her. 

"-popsicles, ya sicko! Get your mind outta the gutter!" Angel broke the silence.

Angel then leaned backwards, falling out into Husk's arms, who quickly dropped him, not hearing a certain hellhound glaring at him. 

"All right new girl, you're up!" Vaggie pointed to Loona, who flushed in embarrassment.

"I- uh-ok." Loona stuttered and moved up the stage, looking out to the group, who still lokked bored as ever but Husk was smirking at the hellhound, this caused Loona to blush and sent a middle finger his way.

"Ok. Uh, so my dad is completely controlling, and followed me aroung EVERYWHERE. I yelled at him a few times though. Wish I could take it back but it's fuckin.. whatever." Loona stiffened as she spoke, scared to fall down as all the eyes looked different at her, like she was a new person.

"It's ok, I got ya," Husk muttered as he stood at the front, nearby Loona.

The hellhound took a deep breath and flopped backwards and was caught by Husk, accompanied by a grunt as he was way heavier than he anticipated. 

"Uh, thanks," Loona got up and rubbed her arm and blushed slightly.

"Good job Loony!" Angel Dust waved and winked at her, which caused a loud growl to emit from her, as she quickly moved to face him. 

"The FUCK did you just call me?!" She roared, which made Angel cower back. 

"Woah woah sweetie I was just bein nice, I give everyone nicknames!"

"We hate them," Vaggie and Husk said at the same time. 

"Yessss, we do! But- I guess I'll go next!" The new snake spoke up, guiding everyone's attention to him. 

The snake walked quickly to the stage, the lights going dim, much like a Broadway performance, his eyes watering. 

" I...don't want to live without my minions. Nobody catch me!" He flopped backwards quickly.

Vaggie and Charlie both caught him, much to his distain, "Damn it!"

"That's great. Wow, you are slimy." Vaggie rolled her eyes and dropped him, "Okay, good job. Uh, Nifty?"

Nifty's eyes shot open in glee, as she cackled maniacally.

"Sometimes, I kill mother-bugs in front of their children as a warning to others!"

Loona's jaw dropped open, as the entire group moved quickly backwards to not catch the maid, causing her to fall flat on her face, creepily this made her laugh more. 

"Yay! Pain!"

Husk and Loona quickly left the room to the bar, not wanting anything to do with this anymore as Nifty continued to fling herself off the stage. 

"Ugh. Buncha fuckin' weirdos!" Loona exclaimed.

"Got that right." Husk chuckled, to which Loona giggled as well, not noticing Angel Dust sitting right next to them at the bar.

"Awww! Y'all gettin' along really nice eh?" Angel elbowed Husk.

Husk pushed Angel off his stool, "oops," he said with a shrug.

Loona sipped her coffee and turned to Husk, looking at him admirably. 

"Why didn't you go up there?" She cocked an eyebrow as she asked the question.

"Huh? Cuz' I don't think Nifty is gonna let up until she's killed herself," Husk dismissed.

"Nah, I mean before. You just let me go first?"

Husk felt bad, not seeming to have an answer.

"Uh-"

"I'm just fuckin with you, you don't have to do all this shit."

"You did it though."

"Yeah? Did it for you, and the fact I have to do this to keep my job apparently."

"Unless your name is Alastor," Husk mumbled.

"But seriously," Loona gently pulled Husk's chin, causing him to look up at her, "You don't ever have to prove you like me."

She said tht last sentence in a whisper, so nobody could hear, but it still made Husk's face light up like fireworks, the hellhound then kissed him on the cheek after making sure nobody was around. 

A/N: I finally cracked 2000 words! Well it was a little bit of a wait, but I usually write these on my phone but I needed the transcript for this specific chapter, but the next 2-3 will be my own stuff, mostly about Husk's life, and Loona beginning work at the Hotel. As always, I hope you enjoy!
