Pride Ring, Hazbin Hotel, Monday, 18:32 PM
Angel slopped onto the sofa. His body was numb and tired. A groan escaped his lips and he turned his head towards the fireplace. The warm air pushed against his face, calming his body and mind. The flammes danced in the fireplace, smooth but sharp movements. Angel closed his eyes, his breathing calm and steady. His mind began to get foggy, the exaustion catching up to him. Angel listened to the crackling of the fire, when heavy footsteps aproached him. He opened one eye, scanning for the demon. His eyes landed on husk, who sat down on the armchair next to the sofa. The spider demon closed his eyes again. "Hey Husky.." His voice tired. "Are you alright, legs?" Husks voice held concern for his friend. Angel didn't answer for a few seconds but nodded slightly. "Im alright husky.. just exausted." Angel opened his eyes and sat up slowly, putting a smile on his face.
"Are you concerned for me husky?~" His voice changed to a sweeter tone. The cat demon sighed. "Just take care of yorself." Angel stared at husk, who stared back. The spider demon faintly blushed, but it was light enough for The other demon not to notice. "Don't worry about me husky." Angel winked at the demon next to him. "I can take care of myself." Angels eyes turned to the fireplace. Husk looked at angel with a suspicious look, but decided not to argue with him. He decided to change the topic. "Are you hungry?" Angels head leaned back. "Im starving! I hadn't even had real breakfast!" Husk stood up. "I can make you something. What do you want?" The pornstar looked at his friend. "Really husky? I'd love a big sandwich!" The look in his eyes was teasing, but the cat demon didn't bother to react. "Come on, ill make you a sandwich."
________
"Damn husk, that sandwich-" He took a big bite, happily munching on the freshly made sandwich. He swallowed, and looked at husk. "-It's fucking delicious!" Husk smiled at the scene infront of him. Angel dust happily devouring the food, a big smile on his face. "Glad you're enjoying it." Some footsteps, light, soft ones entered the kitchen. Both demons turned their head around, looking at who entered the room. In sight came Charlie. "Hey guys! What are you doing?" She smiled. Angel waved at The princess, his mouth full of food. He swallowed, wiping his mouth of off crumbs. "Hey Charlie, Husk made me this amazing sandwich, you have to try it!" He pointed the sandwich at the hellborn. Charlie raised her hands, waving. "I'd love to, but i have work to do right now, just wanted to see how you all are doing."
"What do you have to do so late in the evening? It's nearly Ten PM." Husk scunched his eyebrows. Charlie sighed and leaned on the doorframe. "I have to work on the exercises for tommorow, but enjoy your meal Guys!" Angel nodded, consuming the last bit of sandwich he had. "Don't work to hard princess." Husk expresses bit of cocern, wich warmed Charlie's heart. Her smile whidened. "Thanks guys, i will take my leave now." She waved one last time and vanished out the door. The cat demon looked back to his friend, who sat in a chair, leaning back. He rubbed his stomache in delight. "Damn Husky, that was delicious!" Angel smiled at husk. "Always again."
________
After talking for a while, both of them parted ways entering their bedrooms. Angel once again slopped onto his bed, the warm and cozy blanket wrapping around his drained body. His room was dark, the only light entering came from the moon, slowly rising from beneath the burning city of hell. His eyes slowly shut, his mind ready to turn off, but he convinced himself to stand up and shower of the disgusting feeling those men left behind at work. His body rose up, and he slopped into the bathroom.
The light flickered as angel looked into the mirror, his face tired and his hair messy. "Did i look like that the whole time?" He brushed trough his unkempt hair with his hand. He stripped himself of his clothing and stepped into the shower. After turning on the faucet, the cold water ran trough his hair, down his body into the drain. His mind cleared up a bit because of the cold water, his sore body calming down. While scubbing his body, angels mind began to shift towards other toughts. He tought about work, how the day started with a big shoot wich tured him out. He had to power trought the whole day, but valentino was to annyed to care. Something had bother him the whole day, but Angel couldn't figure out what it was. He tried to ignore it at that time, but something felt of.
________
It was now nearly midnght. Angel stayed under the warm water longer than planned and just put on something comfortable before trowing himself onto his bed once more. His soft matress pulled him in and his eyes closed almost automaticly. The spider demons mind clouded and his toughts begann to blurr. Sleep begann to pull on him, pulling him deeper and deeper. And not long after, he was fast asleep..
________
Angel opened his eyes. His body still tired. Something felt off. His room was pitch black, the only light source, the moon. The demon sat up, head still foggy from sleep. He looked around. Nothing changed. Everything was like he left it before sleep, but he couldn't help but feel off. Angel looked at his clock. 03:03 AM. "What the..?" He starred at it awating the numbers to change, but it didn't happen. The harder he starred, the weirder he felt. It was quite strange.
Then the last number moved. But the 04 didn't came. Instead it went backwards. It was now 03:02. "What? Is my clock broken? But i just brougth it.." He continued to stare at it, maybe it was just an errror. He starred harder, hoping the clock would go forwards again. But the more his eyes focused, the faster the numbers reversed. 03:01.. 03:00.. 02:59.. "What the fuck." Angel tapped the clock, but nothing happened. Then again, harder this time, but the numbers still reversed, faster and faster.
Angel looked around, his nervess grew. He layed back down and turned away from the clock, hoping it wound stop. He layed there for a few seconds in silence, before impatiently turning around. He exhaled relieved, The clock had stopped. It now read 00:00 PM. Angel closed his eyes, sleep now again pulled him close. He decided to get rid of this clock the next morning and went into a deep slumber.
________
The next morning, angel had forgotten all about his nighly activity. He sat up from the comfy bed at 07:30, yawning. A big strech followed. He walked to the bathroom, starting his morning routine. He brushed his teeth, and sifted trough his closet, searching an outfit for the day. The outfit from yesterday hung in the closet, clean and untouched. "Weird.. did i hang it up again?" He tought for a moment but schrugged and took the same outfit. Before leaving his room, he grabbed his phone. Angel walked outside, the corridor was empy, except for this one demon, who banged on a hotel door. Angel eyed him for a short second but ignored him. soft tuned humming trough the radios, Alastor installed in the hallways. He said it would help the atmosphere, wich hyped charlie up.
Angel went to the kitchen, and looked into the refrigerator. A sigh escaped his lips. The only food in their was a raw chicken, probaply rotten, some sausages and a half empty milk cartoon. He sighed again and closed the door, deciding to buy something one the way to work. He looked at his phone, opening his kalender scedule. At 08:50 to 09:50 AM he had a sesion with 3 guys, Valentino planned some sick roleplay, at 10:00 to 11:00 He had a long sesion with one of his regular filming Partners. He than had a long break until 16:25 PM where he was booked for a hotel room sesion with a client. Angel looked at the scedule again. That was strange. This looked exacly like the scedule from yesterday. Maybe he just had a dejavu, he tried to convience himself. But deep inside, he felt strange. He shook his head and stuffed his phone inside his pocket.
________
When he entered the V tower, many people crossed paths, talking with each other or going trough scipts. He walked to his changingroom, the sudden quiet was something else, and Angel aprechiated it. The outfit he had to wear for his first shoot hung on the hanger. It was the same as yesterday. "How unoriginal... but whatever." He schrugged his shoulders and started changing. A nock disturbed him mid text rehersal. Angel looked up and Valntino entered. "Angel, hey sweety." His voice tried to sound sweet, but the exaustion was unmistakable. "You have to be ready in 10, yeah darling?" Angel nodded, his brows scunching in confusion.
He felt as if he heard him say the exact sentence in the exact same tone. "Angel shook the tought out his mind and smiled at Val. "Sure Val, im ready!" His boss, smiled at him, the relieve was written on his face. "Great, today is so stressful. Im glad at least you listen to me." The spider demon took a sip from the water bottle he just bought on his way and put his text on his desk. "I have to go now, gotta prepare for you shoot sweety. Be readdy in five." The moth demon opened the door and left the prn star alone.
________
Angel was exausted. The frustation of his boss showed turing the shoots and he had to do 2 retakes. His body ached, but he had something different on his mind. He felt strange. Everything seemed normal, except everything happened in the exact same order. The exact events happening like the day before. Angel tried not to think about it, but it seemed really strange. He couldn't help but think about the events happening yesterday. Around this time, Valentino yelled at some intern for spilling coffee, which got Angel a free break. The poor intern was shaking in fear.
The spider demon threw his bathrobe on. He needed to get ready for the second shoot. The Makeup Artist was putting on powder to finish her work, when yelling erupted trough the crowd of workers. "You idiot! Why do i even pay you if you can't even carry coffee right?! Go clean it up or you're fired!" Valentino's voice echoes trough the studio. Everyone else had gone quiet, watching the scene infront of them. The young intern starred at the floor, to nervous to look up. Valentino sighed annoyed an rubbed is temples, trying to calm himself down. "10 minute break for everyone!" He yelled, his tone audibly annoyed. No one dared to say anything, they just left the studio. Angel followed, tying his bathrobe tight. while walking out, The demon could hear his boss mumble. "¡Qué estúpido!"
________
Angel was shook. The exact event. The exact sentence. The exact reactions. He tried to find a logical explanation, searching his mind for some reason. But all he could think was, dejavu. This didn't seem logical, but it calmed his mind. Angel used this break to get ready for the last shoot. The 10 minute break allowed him to rehearse the text and eat something. He bought himself a fruit bar and a shot. 'Just like yesterday..' he tougth, before devouring the bar.
________
16:20 PM. 5 minutes before his client meeting. After his last shoot, Valentino gave him a sexy dress saying the client wants him to wear this. The spider demon stood infront of the rusty old hotel door, starring at it. He had 5 minutes before he had to enter, so he leaned on the wall, pulling out his cellphone. He went on google, but didn't know what to enter. He wanted to find ouut why he had the feeling that everything happened before. His fngers hoovered over the keyboard, seconds turned into minutes. Still no idea what to type. Frustrated he turned his phone of and stuffed it into his bag. He knocked on the door, took a big breath and entered, putting a grin on his face. "Hey cutie~.."
________
The spider demon entered the hotel door, his body numb and tired. His feet slopped over the floor, till he stood infront of the sofa. Just like yesterday, he flopped on the cushion, his body aching, a groan escaping his lips. He closed his eyes and listened to the chrackling fire, the warm air calmly pushing against his body. He opened his eyes, silently watching the dancing flames. The smooth and sharp movements pushing him into a state of relaxation.
His eyes once again began to close, his eyelids heavy. The demons breathing calmed, getting steady. His mind entered a foggy state, the exaustion chatching up to him. Heavy footsteps aproached him. He opened one eye, scanning the room. His eye lands on a cat demon. "Husk.." The demon sat down on the armchair, which reminded angel of the day before. "Are you alright legs?" Husks voice was filled with concern.angel didn't answer for a few seconds but nodded sligtly. "Im alright Husky... just-" The feeling of a dejavu layed heavy in his chest. "-Exausted." Angel sat up, now opening both eyes. A smile apeared on his face. "Are you concerned for me Husky?" His voice sweetened. The feeling grew, it crawled on his arms, clawing at him.
Husk sighed. "Just take care of yourself." Both starred at each other. The exausted demon blushed slightly, to light for his oposite to notice it. "Don't worry about me Husky.." Angel winked, but the feelig grew and grew. It shifted to something uncomfortable, rushing trough his whole body. He seemed to have made a face, because Husk looked at him with concern. "Are you really fine? You look uncomfortable." The spider demon nodded, smiling. "I'm fine, really... just have this constant feeling of a dejavu." The cat demon nodded, seeming relieved. "Besides, i can handle myself."
Angels eyes shifted to the fireplace. Husk starred at angel, deciding to change the topic. "Are you hungry?" Angel leaned back, placing a hand on his stomache. "I'm starving, i hadn't even had real breakfast!" Husk stood up. "I can make you something. What do you want?" The pornstar looked at his friend. "I'd love a big sandwich!" The look in his eyes was teasing, but the cat didn't bother to react. Angel new what he was gonna say next. at least he tought he knew. He wanted to try something, so he said it, at the exact same time as his friend. "Come on, ill make you a sandwich." "Come on, ill make you a sandwich." Husk looked at Angel, suprised. "How the hell.. did you know what i was about to say?" Angel was also quite shook. He didn't think it woulld actually work. "Just.. Just a luck guess i supose."
________
The evening went by like yesterday. Angel got a delicious sandwich from Husk, Charlie entered, they talked, and Charlie left. He and Husk had a conversation and split up later. Exactly like the day before. Tho angel tried to ignore it. The gnawing feeling that something was wrong. Angel entered his room, everything was quiet, but his mind was loud. The events of the last day replaying in his head. It was all exactly the same.
He slopped onto the bed, extremly tired, his mind already blurring. He felt dirty and sore, so he decided to take a shower even tho his body wanted to resist. The spider demon rose up, entering the bathroom. He stripped himself of his clothing and stepped under the shower. The water was stone cold at first, slowly turning warmer. The water ran trough his hair, down his body. The warm tempature massaged his sore muscles. He closed his eyes uner the water enjoying the warm liquid.
________
After his shower, which was longer than the demon anticipated, he put on some soft, fuzzy pyjamas and fell onto the bed. He closed his eyes, his eyelids heavy. His brain shut down and he fell asleep, letting the worries of the day go...
________
Angel woke up, his body hurt. His room was pitch black. His mind still foggy from sleep, his eyes heavy. Out of reflects, Angel looked at his alarmclock, which he had forgoten to throw away. 03:03 AM. "What the.. again?" His brows furrowed, the clawing feeling that something was wrong, once again crawled trough his body. He starred at it, hoping the scene from last night doesn't repeat. For seemingly minutes, the clock read 03:03 AM, until he blinked. The next time the clock came into vision, it read 03:02 AM. "Damn it.. What the hell.. not again.." He took the clock, and hit it, hoping it would change. It didn't. He put it back rubbing his eyes. 03:01 AM. "I really have to get rid of it..."
Angel hugged his blanket, closing his eyes hoping to fall asleep, trying to pay the clock no mind. When it begann to ring. This pulled the attention of of the demon. He looked back, the numbers went by to fast to see any clear number. The consistant ringing drove him crazy, so he hit the clock of the counter. It fell to the floor anf for a few seconds it was quiet. Angel breathed relieved, releasing a breath he didn't knew he held.
Then when he closed his eyes to go to sleep again, it startet again. The demon groaned and shot up. He stood up grabbed the clock and shook it, till it stopped. The time now read 00:00 PM. Just like last night. Angel put it on his night desk, layed back down and closed his eyes. He was angry and spooked. This clock freaked him out. Angel wanted to ignore the creepy scene hapening two nights in a row, trying to fall back asleep, untill he did...
