Work Text:
Charlie shifts tiredly in her bed, Vaggie groans softly in her sleep from beside her. Then Charlie's eyes open and a soft yawn leaves her lips.
Today was a new day, it had been a few months since they'd fought Adam and won, a few weeks since they'd finished rebuilding the hotel. The hotel was as empty as always. No real “new” sinners had become interested in redemption after they beat Adam.
Till (Y/n) appeared, she's a new sinner having died recently, she hadn't spoken about how she died but she certainly seemed bothered by it for quite a while.
So, Charlie stretches her limbs out and climbs out of bed. Her hooves click softy as she walks across the floor and begins to dress herself for the day.
Once the hotel's residents had finally woken up, Charlie found herself in the lobby with Angel, Vaggie, Husk and Nifty. Vaggie was patiently gathering the morning's breakfast materials. Angel was flirting away with Husk as Husk made coffee and finally Nifty was being her crackhead self and zipping around cleaning.
The only two they were missing was Alastor and (Y/n). Al normally kept to himself in the early morning so the Radio Demon not being present was relatively normal. (Y/n) however, she was normally the first one down to the lobby. So, Charlie sent Nifty off to check on her.
The little crackhead ran off faster then Charlie could finish speaking. Nifty's little legs zip her up the stairs and around the hotel till she reaches (Y/n) room.
BANG BANG BANG BANG! Nifty knocks loudly on the door as her body buzzes excitedly. The door opens with a soft creak revealing an exhausted looking (Y/n).
“Charlie sent me up to get you-! Why do you look so tired? Don't you sleep? You look horrible! Sorry that's rude- breakfast is ready!” Nifty spoke quickly in typical Nifty fashion leaving (Y/n) confused as the little ball of energy suddenly shot off again to the other side of the hotel.
With a sigh of her own (Y/n) shut the door, redressed herself and began her trek through the hotel heading down to the lobby.
Upon her arrival to said lobby, Charlie rushed over to greet her.
“(Y/n)! Breakfast is ready, what would you like? French toast? Pancakes? Waffles?-”
Angel interrupts Charlie's offering of different food items as he coughs and clears his throat.
“Come on Charlie! Waffles are just square pancakes! They're the same thing!”
Charlie glares at Angel for a moment before returning her attention to (Y/n).
“Anyway, you can have whatever you'd like! Today's Redemption exercise includes respecting and being kind over others' sexual orientation! You don't have to share yours if you aren't comfortable but the more the merrier!”
Charlie walks off to get her own breakfast as (Y/n) nervously prepares for the days exercise.
After breakfast and Alastor randomly appearing in the room, the days Redemp-erxise had begun. Charlie stood excitedly in front of Vaggie, Angel and Husk sat next to each other bored, Alastor sat there with a bored, yet entertained look on his face and Nifty sat on the floor in front of him looking equally bored. (Y/n) stood nervously behind Alastor and Nifty.
Charlie smiles brightly as she begins speaking.
“As I said earlier today's Redemption exercise is about being kind and respectful of each other's sexual orientation! Just because someone isn't the same as you doesn't mean they're below you!”
Angel scoffs softly as he rolls his eyes. Charlie just continues speaking, ignoring Angel.
“I'll go first! I'm Charlie, I'm Bisexual. That means I'm attracted to both men and women! I'm in a loving relationship with my girlfriend Vaggie. Our relationship is considered to be Lesbian esc, but that doesn't change that I am Bisexual. Now who would like to go next?”
Vaggie sighs as no one steps up, and decides to go next. Her hand touches Charlie's shoulder as Charlie sits down.
“I'm Vaggie, I'm a lesbian. I'm only attracted to women. I'm in a lesbian relationship with Charlie, but that doesn't take away from Charlie being Bisexual.”
Angel and Husk nod boredly, as Charlie excitedly stands up and applauds Vaggie. Before encouraging Angel, Husk and Nifty to join in.
Angel groans as he stands up and very aggressively speaks.
“I'm Angel, I'm Gay. I like dick. You know what Charlie? This is stupid. What's the point in talking about this shit? We all know you and bitch face over there are a couple. Why does this matter?”
Charlie smiles as she's quick to defend herself.
“Well Angel, your attitude towards this activity is exactly why we're doing it! You're holding alot of- erm- aggression towards yourself and I want to work through it before it ends up being taken out on other guests.”
Angel groans again and continues his rant about it being stupid. Husk stands and collects himself before speaking.
“I also don't see how this matters, also what the hell is a Sexual orientation?”
Charlie freezes and her face falls as the thought that maybe some of the older group may not know what it is and that she failed them by not explaining.
“Oh alright, uh well- Sexual orientation is sexual attraction, it basically describes who you're attracted to. So for example, a man who's only attracted to women is Straight, a man attracted to women and men is Bisexual. A man attracted to everyone regardless to gender is Pansexual the same goes for women and vice-versa.
A man who's only attracted to men is Gay, a woman who's only attracted to women is a Lesbian.
And finally a man or a woman who doesn't or experiences very limited sexual attraction is Asexual.”
Husk rolls his eyes as Alastor scoffs.
“Alright fine then by definition I'm Pansexual because I don't give a fuck.”
Charlie applauds excitedly as Husk returns to his seat. Charlie then turns towards Alastor and Nifty and smiles. Alastor taps Nifty gently with his foot, encouraging her to go next.
“I'm Nifty, I like bad boys.”
Vaggie sighs as her hand finds the bridge of her nose as she speaks.
“NIfty’s straight. Alright, who's next?”
Vaggie tiredly looks between Alastor and (Y/n). Charlie excitedly looks between the two. Alastor turns his head to look at (Y/n) as he's refusing to partake in this stupid game.
(Y/n) nervously looks down at her feet before stepping forward.
“I'm (Y/n), I'm Asexual. I don't experience sexual attraction. My family called me broken when I was little. But I'm proud to be who I am even if it isn't normal.”
Charlie applauds excitedly, a smile spreads across her face.
“Bravo! Wonderful! I'm proud of you as well! Now Alastor would you like to go?”
Alastor rolls his eyes in irritation as he stands from his seat.
“ hmm- well I guess I'm Ace in the hole? Asexual? I haven't experienced sexual attraction but it's not like it matters much to me.”
Charlie squeals excitedly as she looks between (Y/n) and Alastor.
“Oh my stars! We have two Asexuals! That specific orientation is less common than the others! How wonderful!”
Alastors head tilts as a confused look crosses his face, (Y/n) just face palms before she speaks.
“Charlie, just because he and I are both Asexual it doesn't mean that we're going to start dating or become a couple.”
Alastors face flashes in relief as Charlie blushes hard.
“No, no- your right. I just got my hopes up. Everyone is dismissed, please be kind to each other now that we know everyone's sexual orientations.”
The group groans as they disperse Husk and Angel go to the bar, Charlie and Vaggie wander off to spend time together. Nifty rushes off to clean.
Alastor and (Y/n) share a look of understanding before they both head over to the bar to join Angel and Husk.
