The Angel Princess (Hazbin Hotel Swap Au)

struggling to hide it

Lucifer's pov

*Domestic abuse warning*

I headed into work expecting it to be another normal day when vox marched up to me. I tensed up, something's wrong.

Without warning he smacked me across the face. I collapsed to the floor. He grabbed me by the collar, forcing me to look at him "You're ex really upset poor velvet so she asked that you pass on a little message. Can you do that?"

"Sure" I said, my head still reeling from the hit.

"Good boy" he stroked my face before throwing me to the ground and pummeling me. A thought flashed through my mind. I should stop him. I should fight back but I stopped myself. I deserve this.

"Now you go tell that bitch that if she ever messes with the vee's again you'll come home looking like a busted up Barbie doll. You got that baby" he lovingly stroked my bloodied and bruised face.

"Y-yes" I winched at his touch.

"There's my good boy" he stroked my hair tenderly. If you didn't know better I'd find that touch conferting "now you run along home baby and pass on that message. I'll see you at work tomorrow"

I nodded shakily before rushing out the door.

Charlie's pov

I was playfully wrestling vaggie for the last packet of mxms when dad entered the door backwards. I raised an eyebrow.

"Dad?" I approached him.

"Just a second honey, I'm just fixing something" he kept his back to me. I grabbed his shoulders and forced him to look at me. What I saw shocked me.

Black eye, broken nose, busted lip. He looked like he'd just been jumped.

Vaggie and me covered our mouths in disbelief. Mom and Alastor were trembling with rage. Alastor was even coming close to breaking the bar.

Dad squirmed uncomfortably under everyone gaze. I gently took his hands "dad tell me what happened"

He sighed "apparently velvet and the vee's got upset by Liliths actions. They used me to send a little message"

"You allowed those lowly beasts to hurt you" mom muttered in disbelief.

"You're blaming him? He's a victim mom!" I held him protectively.

"It's alright Charlie" he pushed me away getting "she's right. I should be able to defend myself but I just can't" he looked away shamefully.

"Well no one harms my family like that" she smirked "I'll give velvet a visit she won't soon forget"

"Absolutely not!" I marched up to her "it's your fault this happened in the first place!"

"Now Charlie you shouldn't blame your mother-"

"No dad!" I cut him off before turning to her angrily "did you even consider how this would affect dad? No! The only thing you ever cared about was fueling your own ego. That's all you ever cared about! Well I'm not going to let your selfish bullshit hurt this family again!"

A strange aura enraped my mother. For a moment I wasn't sure what she'd do. Then she gave me a smile "suit yourself" she tapped her cane three times before disappearing.

"I appreciate you concern guys but I think I'd just like to go bed" he smiled weakly.

"I'll take you down" alastor gently took his hand. He's so tender towards him, it's really sweet. As he passed us by I heard him mutter "I'm going to kill that TV prick"

I chuckled softly. I feel ya buddy.

Alastors pov

"What do you mean you're going back!" I shook my head in disbelief as I watched him put his coat on.
