Birthaversary




Logan POV

I was sitting in my office on one of the Shard's upper levels. I looked at the holograms that played around me, which showed several images of the Limbo City News, the city's Stock Market, commercials for New Eden, the company I built with the city, and a daily program about some of the citizens' thoughts and praise about me. An intern enters the office and she hands a plate with a hot drink and cookies on it.

Intern: Here you go Prince Logan. Hot Chocolate and Cookies that you requested.

Logan: Thank you. Sorry for asking for something that is rather childish.

Intern: No, I understand. This kind of thing reminds me of my childhood back when I was still alive. One of the better moments before I ended up on the path to hell.

Logan: Well, you can live in the paradise created for you and everyone else.

Intern: Thank you, Prince Logan.

The Intern leaves the office and my phone starts ringing. A message from Charlie appears that reads "Happy Birthaversary, Logan!". I had to reply back to my little sister.


Logan

Thanks Charlie. I can't believe it's already that time. What's it been, like 198 years since I first arrived here?

Charlie

Yes. My god it's been that long. I've been that happiest since that day. You were always there for me.

Logan

Minus a decade or two ago.

Charlie

Well, I decided that it was time for me to be fully independent. Besides, I thought I should finally take me out of your schedule so you can have time to your self.

Logan

Thanks baby sis. You want to come to my place to celebrate?

Charlie

Actually, I was thinking at that church that was dedicated to you. Don't worry, I made the proper reservations so no fanatics will hound us.

Logan

Okay then. You think Lucifer will join us?

Charlie

I want to hope so, but you know how it's been ever since he and mom split.

Logan

I know. Still nice to think about things.

Charlie

Yep. And guess what, Vaggie is coming too.

Logan

Nice. Quick question: Who's Vaggie?

Charlie

Oh right. I can't believe I forgot to tell you. She's my girlfriend. I met her a year ago.

Logan

Oh, I'm so happy for you. Just know that if anything gets hard, don't hesitate to call me.

Charlie

Same for you, Logan

Logan

So you think she'll not hate me?

Charlie

Logan. I told her so much about how great you are. And she said she's interested in seeing my you.

Logan

I guess sooner or later, everyone wants to meet the Prince of Hell or the ruler of Limbo City

Charlie

No, no, not the Prince of Hell or the ruler of Limbo City. She wants to see my big brother. The guy I grew up with. The boy who's so selfless yet managed to thrive in Hell. You'll like her too.

Logan

Okay then. So what time?

Charlie

At 6PM. See ya then?

Logan

You bet. Love ya.

Charlie

Love you too.


I smile and put away my phone as I look at the picture of me and my adoptive family on my desk. It was back when Charlie was a still a child. I was holding her up so her whole body could be in the camera. I think Lucifer was a little jealous that I was the one holding her. But he was fine with it since he told me to always be there for her. Then I look at another one which was us and Charlie as a teenager when I first began creating Limbo City. Lucifer and Lilith held my shoulders in praise while Charlie was hugging me to get back at me for supposedly hogging their attention.

Logan: The best years of my new life.

After that I had to attend meetings with those who oversee Limbo City's infrastructure such as power, goods, education, housing, and even security. We've always had good reviews and reports on those. Still, we shouldn't be complacent. We should always improve on what we've built. Once all those were done, I went to my penthouse to clean myself up. I went into the shower and as the water was falling onto me, I pressed my hands against the wall. Looking down as the drain was taking in the water, I began wonder about how things have been going on Earth. Maybe Kaori is making a difference in the world with her music. Or maybe it's still a very slow progress. Either way, I hope she's doing okay. My deal with Lucifer stated that she'd live a full life once her illness was gone. I can still remember faintly hearing her voice.


"I'll keep living for you, Logan"


I don't know if that was really her or just my mind playing trick to comfort me. Either way, all I want is for her to live her life to the fullest.

Logan: Keep playing Kaori. I love you.

After all the remembering, I get out of the shower to dry myself and put my clothes on. After that I left the shard and went to one of my favorite doughnut places to order one. the owner even says that it's surprising that I usually only ask for one doughnut and then leave. Well, that was my routine on Earth. After eating it, I decided to head to the church that Charlie said she'd be waiting for me at. I look up at the sky to see the clouds still moving. I can tell it's night because the light not there any more. The thing seems simulated, but it's supposed to resemble Earth's sky. A small luxury that many of the living don't realize. Before I knew it, I was already at the church.

Logan: Okay, Logan. Just show your appreciation for what she does. All she ever does is her best and hardest.

I enter the door and go inside before closing it behind me. For some reason, I can't see a thing in the church.

Logan: Why is it dark as hell in here?

Suddenly, the lights turn on and I cover my eyes to block the blinding light before moving it to see Asmodeus, Charlie, and many demons, Sinners and Hellborn, are in the church with many decorations.

All: Surprise! Happy Birthaversary, Logan!

Confetti then explodes and rains everywhere. Music then plays and everyone cheers. Charlie then walk to me and hugs me.

Charlie: Happy Birthaversary, Logan!

Logan: Thanks, Charlie. You planned all this?

Charlie: Well, Me, Asmodeus, and other demons. So it was a large group effort. Come on. Let's have cake. Beelzebub says it's to die from.

Logan: I bet.

We go to the cake and I wondered if Bee was here. When we got to it, something flies out of the giant cake and it's revealed to be Beelzebub.

Bee: Surprise, little brother. Now let's get this party started. Eat, drink, fuck all you want. It's your day today.

Asmodeus: Yeah, indulge in your desire, Logan.

Logan: I won't say no to that.

I go and the cake gets cut up into hundreds of pieces and everyone grabs pieces of it. Soon they begin dancing to music and I was conversing with the two sins who have been siblings to me.

Asmodeus: 198 years since our little brother, and the eight Deadly Sin first came to Hell.

Logan: I wasn't considered worthy of being a Sin until like my 100th year here. And that was after I began to show that I didn't give a damn what most demons think, tell me, or say about me. And made them regret it when they tried to sabotage me.

Beelzebub: Like any sin would. Well, Mammon only does it because he's a fucking asshole who likes to bleed anyone he sees. And give yourself more credit, Sin of Vanity.

Charlie: That's literally what I told him a long time ago.

Logan: Okay, look I'm confident enough to not hesitate when it comes to problems. But I guess I could try to put a bit more effort into my self-identity.

Asmodeus: That's alright. Hey, I have to get back to Lust. Business hardly stops. See ya soon.

Asmodeus then leaves through a portal to the Lust Ring.

Bee: Same. But hey, I'll keep sending you invites to my party. After all, I'm sure you might consider me special since I helped you grow up in the other way.

Beelzebub then blows a kiss at me as she teleports away.

Logan: *Groan*. It was one time.

Charlie: TMI. But Logan, time to introduce you to Vaggie.

Logan: Alright then.

Charlie: Hey Vaggie, Come here.

???: Okay Charlie

Someone walks to us and I see a girl with long hair, a red bow, and an X where a left eye should be.


Charlie: Logan. This is my girlfriend, Vaggie. Vaggie, this is my big brother, Logan.

Logan: Nice to meet you Vaggie.

Vaggie: Nice to meet you too, Logan. Charlie's told me all about you.

Logan: Oh really?

Vaggie: Yes, really. She talks about how much you mean to her ever since you came into her life.

Logan: And even when I'm not there, she still tells people things that make me blush like hell.

Charlie: Sorry Logan. But that's how it's going to be for eternity.

Vaggie: Well, all the pictures she has of you and her imply that it's not intentional torture.

Logan: I know. Thanks again for planning all this, Charlie.

Charlie: The least I could do for you.

Vaggie: I have to say, Limbo City is very nice. It feels safe.

Logan: Yeah. It's my pride and joy, along with my sister.

Charlie: Aww.

Vaggie: So, what's your opinion of me, so far?

Vaggie closes her mouth and her eyes widen out of realization of what she just said.

Logan: Wow, straight to the point. But it's okay. You seem like a very fine woman. And if Charlie trusts you then I guess I can give you a shot. (More Menacingly) But if you ever hurt her, I will make sure Hell is the least of your worries.

Vaggie: This is going to sound weird, but I respect you more now that I've heard that.

Logan: Really?

Vaggie: You want to protect your sister. What real brother wouldn't want to do that?

Logan: She means so much to me.

Charlie: Okay, now you're making me blush. Well, that's fair.

Vaggie: Don't worry. I'll protect her with my life. After all, she saved me when I was in a bad state.

Logan: Alright. Well, if you two want to go, then it'll be fine.

Charlie: We're still going to have fun here. This party is for you. Let's continue celebrating.

I smile and get up to continue dancing, eating, drinking, and socializing with more of the people that are present. After a good 5 hours, everyone helps clean up and heads home. I say bye to Charlie and Vaggie before teleporting to the Penthouse. I sit down on the couch and close my eyes from a very exciting night. Soon I hear something hard hitting the floor and I wonder who it is.

Logan: Hello, if you're a burglar, you better put my stuff back.

???: I see no need to rob someone else.

I open my eyes and turn to see the voice belongs to one of the most respected Overlords in the Pride Ring.

Logan: Oh, Good evening Carmilla. Sorry for my rude hostility.

Carmilla: There is no need to apologize, Logan.

Logan: You want something to drink?

Carmilla: Yes. You got any liquor here? I'm not particularly picky about what kind I drink.

Logan: In the fridge.

Carmilla goes to the refrigerator and grabs two bottles of alcohol. She then comes to the couch and sits down next to me. She opens the bottles and drinks from one of them. Then she looks at me and holds out a bottle, offering it to me. I just decide to take it.

Logan: Thanks.

Carmilla: No problem.

We drink and end up having an awkward silence for a few minutes. I decided to be the one to break it.

Logan: So... How are Odette and Clara doing?

Carmilla: They're doing pretty well. They're my girls after all. I can see both you and your city are still thriving after all these decades.

Logan: I strive to make it so that this city remains a paradise. No offense to you and the girls.

Carmilla: None taken. Besides, I'm so used to the world outside this city that I'm not sure I'd fit in here. I do appreciate you purchasing my weapons in a moderate amount though.

Logan: No problem.

Carmilla: Also, Happy Birthday.

Logan: Wow, that's the first time in a while I heard you say that. The last time was --

Carmilla: After that whole incident with Satan and we barely managed to resolve that situation without our cities being annihilated? Yeah.

Logan: Also the last time I saw you with your hair down like this.

Carmilla: Really? I guess you're one of the few people I'm comfortable with being seen like this. So how old are you?

Logan: 215.

Carmilla: Impressive. When you got here, it was way back before now. And there are many that fear and respect you. Most of this city worships you.

Logan: I know. It's still a bit weird.

Carmilla: The Sin of Vanity finds it uncomfortable to be the subject of worship. Well, don't hate them for it at least.

Logan: I won't. Still can't believe we had that thing we had lasted for a week. For the parts that didn't involve you wanting to spar with me.

Carmilla: I want to say that I'm mad at you holding back, but my daughters told me they asked you to do that.

Logan: I prefer not taking any lives if I can.

Carmilla: This is why I like you. And why we had that thing while it lasted. You actually think before you act. It's also why my daughters like you as well.

Logan: Good to hear their sense of humor is still there.

Carmilla: And Zestial's as well.

Logan: Yeah. Well, I'm spent, I'm going to head to my room.

Carmilla: Very well.

I walk up to my room and open the door. As I look at the window in my room, the door suddenly closes. I turn to see Carmilla in front of me with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Logan: Carmilla?

Carmilla: ...You know how that thing we had ended?

Logan: Yeah. We had dinner and shared a room. Then you went back to your home once you go your thoughts back together. I was still sleeping, but I texted you "Good luck".

Carmilla: Yeah. You kinda swept me off my feet during that week. I regret the thing ended like that.

Logan: Well, how did you wish it ended?

Carmilla kisses me and we end up making it a passionate one. We end up getting closer to the bed before falling onto it. Soon we embrace and hardly let go of each other.
