Chapter Text
Everything was dark around you. You were somewhere unfamiliar, but the place you were in was warm and peaceful, quiet even. Just how you liked it. This place was like a cradle or to be more accurate like a warm embrace. You had no idea what was happening but you didn't want it to end as you took in the warmth of the darkness around you. The darkness suddenly began to fade away as a light flashed through from above. You felt the darkness push you towards the light or- maybe it was the light tugging you closer. When you reached the end of the tunnel, you were blinded by the bright lights that surrounded you, which for some reason made you start crying like a baby. Actually, you DID sound a lot like a baby crying-
"Oh look at her Charles, She's just so precious!"
A woman's voice? You open your eyes to find the voice, finding a- giant woman?! And she was holding you.
"She is just perfect, Stella"
This time it was a man- who is also quite the giant himself. Just what was going on!? Where is this place, how did you get here!? And just who are these people!? You had so many questions that you had to get answers too. You opened your mouth to speak but-
"baba goo gaa!"
What!? That couldn't have been you, right? You opened your mouth to try and speak again.
"googa goo!"
You sounded like a baby!! You look down at your hands to find a pair of baby hands. Yup, that's all you needed to know you had just been reborn- or at least that is what you would like to think. You just decided to accept your fate. This is your life now lol
9 years later
Life has been going pretty well for you so far. You had no complaints about this new life of yours- well maybe you had a couple. For starters, they didn't have TVs or phones! Well actually they do have phones but- it's telephones. Also, you always had to wear dresses and uncomfortable shoes. You wished you could wear pants every once in a while but the time period you lived in was against that notion. You had hundreds of complaints. You missed the modern-era shit you enjoyed in your past life. But it's not like you could do anything about it.
Today, your lovey-dovey parents decided to bring you over to your friend's house. Her name was Elizabeth. She was the same age as you. You've known each other since you were both in cradles.
"Y/n!!"
Speak of the devil, there she was now. She hugs you and smiles.
"Alright, you two! Go off and play for a bit. It's been quite a while since you kids have seen each other!"
(We've only spent a week away from each other...)
You and your friend decided to go explore the town for the time being (which, now that I think about it...was probably a bad idea)
"Y/n look! There's candy!"
She pointed at a jar filled with multicolored hard candies behind the glass window of the local candy shop.
"Why, hello there little ladies! What could I possibly do for you two.?"
It was James.
"Hello, James!"
James was the candy shop owner. He is a pretty nice guy. I don't think there is a single bad bone in his body.
"Ah, You two stay right where you are, I have a gift for you both!"
James steps into his shop to grab two lollipops. Handing one to you and your friend. You both thank him and head off towards wherever the wind would take you.
"So yummy!"
Your friend seems to like her lollipop. But yours remained untouched. It wasn't that you didn't like candy. You just dislike the hard ones per
se. You were more of a gummy candy kind of person, like peach rings, and gummy worms. Delicious candy like that!
"Aargh!"
You and Elizabeth jump at the sound of a bloodcurdling scream. You darted your eyes to a group of boys ganging up on one kid. And man were they giving him a beating to remember. You felt bad, so you decided to jump to the poor guy's defense. The conversation with the other boys went as well as you would've expected. They ended up pushing you to the ground and told you to get lost. Of course, you weren't gonna do that. You instead kicked their asses. All four of them, for the simple reason of the action of one of them, pushing you to the ground. They ended up running off crying (as they should).
You help the beaten-up boy to his feet.
"I can't believe they would just gang up on someone like that!"
You let out an angry huff as you continued.
"Hey don't just let kids like that get a hold of you-"
You stop in your tracks. You just couldn't believe your eyes! This...boy. You could recognize him anywhere. It was Alastor!! Well, it was a little kid Alastor- but it was still him nonetheless!!
Alastor, your favorite character (crush) from Hazbin Hotel!! To think you were reincarnated into Hazbin Hotel!! This is a dream come true! You officially had no further complaints!
"Uhh y/n? What are you just staring at him for?"
"uh, what?"
Oh right! I was staring for too long-
"O-oh uh, I was just really worried about his injuries! They look pretty serious"
You give a clever (?) excuse for your rude staring and give Alastor a big smile, extending your hand to shake his.
"Hello! My name is Y/n. What's yours?"
You already knew his name but asking for it is the first step!
"Um- it's... Alastor"
You couldn't help but giggle at the shy boy before you. But it is to be expected, you two have just met after all!
"Well, it's nice to meet you Alastor!"
You offer him your (neglected) lollipop. At first, he would refuse it, but you were adamant, and of course, he took it in the end.
"I hope we can be friends!"
You smile at him again. (but truth be told you were smiling ever since you found out his identity) Alastor looked at you with a surprised expression before looking away embarrassed.
"Oh my!"
You grabbed his arm, suddenly remembering he was injured. How could you have forgotten that quickly? He needed medical attention! Something you could provide! (You don't know any medical shit, you're no doctor)
"How could I forget? You're injured, let me help."
You subconsciously put your hand on Alastor's cheek. He flinches back, rubbing his wrist. Looking at it, a couple of bruises were visible. You must have accidentally touched a bruise, either that or touching his face was a little much.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to touch you without your permission, I just wanted to help!"
(Righhtt, like touching his face like that was helpful in any way. Maybe medical crap really isn't your strong suit)
"I-it's fine...you don't have to help me, I'm okay."
(okay he is just too cute!)
"Nonsense! You're not okay you need help now come on. I'll take you to someone who can help. So sorry about this, but this is necessary."
You grab the boy's hand and start taking him to James, the candy shop man from before. You remember him patching you up after you had fought with some kid with a superiority complex and also getting a good scolding about 'being a lady'. Long story short, you couldn't have cared less about the scolding, you won the fight (as you should) and was patched up as a bonus. And Alastor will get the treatment he needs!
"Uh- where are you taking me!"
"To the candy shop to get you treated of course!"
Alastor looks at you puzzled. Maybe you should have been more specific. Taking someone to a candy shop to be treated is kinda... Strange to say the least.
"The candy man there is very nice and helped bandage my wounds when I- uhhh.. got hurt playing too hard hehe!"
You and Alastor (also Elizabeth who you had forgotten about) were now standing right outside the door of the shop. You reached for the doorknob, but suddenly felt Alastors hand leave your grasp. When you look back, Alastor seemed to be troubled. Maybe he didn't want to go in.
"I-....I should go."
"Huh? But wait, you're-"
The door to the shop opened, making the three of you jump. It was James, just the man you were looking for. You had to get him to help Alastor quickly.
"I'm sorry kiddos but I'm closing up shop early- AND, WHAT IS GOING ON WHY IS THIS BOY HURT?"
(Wow he noticed pretty quickly, he always was attentive.) You push Alastor towards James.
"James look, He's hurt! Can you do anything to help him?"
[ later that night ]
Today sure was amazing. To think you were actually reincarnated instead of being reborn (well, they're kind of like the same thing), and in Hazbin Hotel that is! (even though technically there isn't a hotel yet) Oh and then there's Alastor.....
"Hehe"
You can't help but kick your feet up and giggle to yourself. Maybe this is what those high school girls meant when they said they couldn't help but feel the flutters in their hearts or was it the thing about the butterflies? You wouldn't know actually, this would be the first time you've honestly crushed on someone who was actually uhh-...real? Best not to think about it too hard though, there's nothing like the present! As they say.
But you couldn't help wondering how Alastor was doing and wondered if you could find some way to get closer to him somehow. You had a plan in mind, and you were going to make him yours. You had to make him attached somehow, make him truly trust you, make. him. love. you.
So to make this happen, you made a carefully thought out list of steps to get closer to your victim- uhh I mean target. With the first step on the list being!
1. Wing it
(Truth be told, you didn't know the first thing about winning a boy's heart. So the only thing you could write down on your sorry excuse for 'win Alastor heart plan' was 'wing it'... but good thing thinking hard was thrown away long before you were even able to get the idea to make that stupid list. Otherwise you would have been tearing your hair out while crying yourself to sleep because let's be real, it's the dumbest plan you have ever heard in your life. admit it, who have you ever known that has actually succeeded in a 'wing it' plan?)
Yes, the list was small, but it was a plan nonetheless. Some would say it was the best idea you've ever heard in your life! But no need to give yourself a pat on the back just yet. This little game of cat and mouse was just getting started.
"Tomorrow.." you said
"Tomorrow will be the day I put my plans into action. He will be mine, all mine."
(If only you could see the evil grin of a villain on your face, maybe you would have turned down the crazy a few notches. But what is a protagonist without a villain arc? A plain old heroin that's who.)
The next day, you decided to look around for Alastor's place. You weren't a creep or anything (well at least you'd like to think so) but it was necessary!
All you were going to do was ask him to play(?) maybe- you didn't know what you were going to do, but you guessed that's why the 'wing it' plan was so good, you didn't have to stress over petty little things like details.
Eventually, you found out where he stayed, you would have waited a bit before knocking on the door of his house but as you know, you planned to think of something out of the box (the smartest plan ever when it comes down to it)
You knocked on the door with confidence and excitement, you were going to go through with your carefully crafted plan and you were gonna be iconic doing it.
The door opened with a bit of irritation that quite frankly made you a little surprised. It was a man you didn't know- actually maybe you did know him. Was this guy Alastor's dad or something?
With a scoff, the man raised a brow slightly "What you doing up on my porch here? I don't want your damn sissy cookies"
(Attitude much?)
"I'm not here to sell cookies silly, I'm here to see Alastor!"
"Alastor? Whatcha want with him, you his girlfriend or somethin?"
"Well- I guess you could say that..."
Your cheeks flushed. For a man with a nasty attitude, he sure did know how to flatter a girl.
"So... is Alastor here orrrr?"
The man (you didn't know the name of) furrowed his brows and stared down at you for what seemed like an eternity before turning to shout Alastor's name to come down. And before you knew it a familiar figure came into view.
"Yes, sir- huh is that you y/n?"
"So, I take it you know this girl"
"W-wellll"
Alastor turned to stare at you for a moment as you waved and gave a goofy smile. (I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but he was definitely questioning why you were there.)
"I wanted to know if Alastor could come out to play!"
The man- I mean, Alastor's dad once again showed a nasty look before walking off, you can only guess the no reply was a 'yes' in a sense. You turned to Alastor, thinking of what you exactly were going to do next. Though abruptly, a thought came to mind, why don't you take the guy to the park with you? And of course, inviting Elizabeth would help you not raise his suspicions of your plans.
"Hey Alastor, wanna go to the park with me and my friend?"
