| Secret|

---

He was known as Strings. A strange name it was, and it wasn't just a odd nickname. It was given to him for a good reason. He was a puppet master, and he was well known to make other demons his very own puppets. Strings saw them as nothing more then play things. They were just demons, might as well give them the punishment they deserve for sinning. 

Then rumors started flying around. The puppet master had a crush on another demon. Many of them had thought that he was asexual, or at least a loner. That was further than the truth, and the rumors circulating had made to the news. When everyone found out that little old Strings had a crush on someone they couldn't stop wondering who in Hell had stolen the heart of a fearsome demon. Demons assumed that it was a girl named Charlie; the princess of Hell. But none of them had known that this wasn't a simple little crush. The other person had the same feelings, and they were dating in secret. 

Alastor was his name. The mighty Radio Demon and the Puppet Master had somehow started something when they met. Y/N never even knew he could love someone, nonetheless another man. Alastor was asexual and what he thought aromantic, but somehow he couldn't get the murderous demon out of his head. He wasn't aware that it was even possible for him to love. Y/N was the real name of Strings, and only Alastor knew his true name. Y/N didn't really want everyone to know his name, he was perfectly fine being known as Strings, or the Puppet Master. "No one needed to know my name." He would say. 

When Alastor and Y/N had started to date they kept it as secret as possible. They would only hang out in his hotel room, none of the other occupants of the hotel even knew that Y/N was inside the building. When Y/N was over at Alastor's they would cuddle while listening to the radio. They both liked Electro Swing, but Y/N also listened to plenty of Indie and Rock. Y/N just listened to anything that had a good tune to it, and Alastor was almost the same, he preferred songs that the two of them could dance to. But he also liked to listen to Y/N softly hum along to a Rock song that probably had way too much bass. Whenever Al would record for his radio station sometimes his listeners could hear Y/N laugh in the background when Al was telling dad jokes. The listeners tried to find out who the person was, but Al would say it was his laugh track he had on hand, and that would be the end of it. 

That was until Charlie had walked into Alastor's room without knocking to ask something and she saw Y/N asleep in Alastor's arms with him petting Y/N's hair gently. Charlie didn't even know that Alastor could show affection for anyone. He turned his head towards the door to see Charlie trying to shut the door as quietly as she could. "Dear, we might have trouble." Alastor said while softly shaking Y/N awake. "Trouble?" He mumbled tiredly. Until Y/N's eyes shot wide open. "Wait did someone just walk in?" He asked in a semi panicked tone. Alastor just nodded as Y/N stood up quickly grabbing his coat. "It was just Charlie, I doubt she'll go and tell anyone. She knows very well what will happen if I hear that she told anyone that I'll have her dead in seconds." Alastor spoke in a calming voice, easing Y/N's nerves. He pulled Al into a stressed hug. "I just don't want to have to leave you because of my reputation..." He muttered into Alastor's chest. "Oh darling... I would leave everything in my life just to stay with you." Alastor continued to speak sweet nothings into Y/N's ear until he was finally calm. Even if Y/N was a mass murderer anxiety was a bitch to him. 

Alastor walked downstairs until he saw Charlie. "Good evening Charlie, it seems I have some matters to speak to you about." His smile widened as Charlie gulped and nodded nervously. "So Alastor, what's this about?" The air around them turned glitched and static like. "You tell anyone what you saw and I'll personally end your bloodline." The atmosphere changed back to normal as Alastor regained his composure. "I do hope you understand dear, please keep my words in mind." Alastor then walked off leaving Charlie with a disturbed expression. "WHAT WAS THAT?" Vaggie ran up to Alastor with her spear. "Don't worry, Charlie just saw something she shouldn't have, and maybe you should teach her to knock first." Alastor glared at Vaggie before pushing the spear away and returning to his room. 

When Alastor opened the door he saw Y/N lacing his boots. "Are you leaving so soon, dear?" He chuckled at the demon who was trying to leave. "I can't be seen here again, maybe next time you should come to my apartment?" Y/N asked politely. Alastor sighed and wrapped his arm around his waist. "It's okay, Charlie is aware that there will be consequences if she speaks about it." He whispered in an assuring voice. Y/N sighed and wrapped his arms around Al's neck, bringing him into a hug. 

Y/N got up and smiled at Alastor before leaving the hotel room. When he got to the elevator another demon walked out. "Hey wait a minute, are you new here?" The pink and white demon asked confused. "No, I was just visiting someone, I'll be off now." He turned around but then the demon called after him again. "Wait wait wait! What's your name? I'm Angel Dust." Y/N raised an eyebrow. "So you're that pornstar? Name's Strings, the Puppet Master." He smirked at Angel. "Who were you visiting?" Angel asked curiously. "No one you need to know, now if you'll allow me to leave." Y/N pushed past Angel hurriedly. Angel shrugged and continued to his room. That was until he turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news. 

"This just in! Feared demon overlord Strings is in a relationship with some other demon! This is truly interesting, and unfortunate that the handsome fucker isn't with me." Angel laughed as he remembered the demon in the hall named Strings. Overlord huh? Who could he possibly want to be with-

Oh my god.

Alastor. 

(Jk I'm not leaving it there-)

Angel ran full speed to Alastor's room. He knocked as loud as he could until Alastor opened the door. "Yes Angel?" He asked clearly confused. "Do you know a guy named Strings?" Angel asked desperately. Alastor looked in deep thought. "I think I've talked to him once before, but otherwise no, why?" Alastor was visibly confused. "I just saw him in the hall and I asked what he was doing here and he said he was visiting someone, and I was wondering if that was you until I saw on the news that this Strings guy was in a RELATIONSHIP!" Angel explained carefully what had happened in the past 5 minutes. "Well, I can assure you he did not stop over here." Alastor shrugged and shut the door on Angel. Angel sighed dramatically; he had to know who Strings was seeing, and Alastor wasn't it apparently. 

Next stop, Husk. Angel knocked on the door impatiently. "What." Husk opened the door very exhausted sounding. "Do you know a guy named Strings?" Angel asked while tapping his foot rapidly. "I do in fact know who that is, big scary overlord puppet bitch, right?" He said, clearly annoyed by the conversation. "Well I just saw him in the hall, he said he was visiting someone." Husk started laughing. "You really think I'm going to be hanging out with someone who wouldn't hesitate to murder me?" Husk shook his head and slammed the door in Angel's face. He groaned in annoyance. Time to check the others to see if they know anything.

Y/N walked home peacefully. Until someone poked him in the shoulder. "Yes?" He asked as he turned around. "Hello there, Katie Killjoy here! Do you have any words on the rumors about you being in a relationship?" She swayed her hips as she asked. "Well, I think it's funny that you poor souls are so concerned with who I'm romantically interested in." He chuckled at the woman. "Can you at least tell us what gender your partner is?" She asked in disgust. "Male, yeah get over it, I'm gay." He shook his head and walked off and Katie groaned in revulsion. "Did you hear that Tom? He's GAY." She stuck out her tongue and spit onto the ground. 

Y/N kept walking home having some occasional stupid demon try to ask who he was dating. He simply snapped their necks. When he got home he switched the TV channel to the news, he was curious what they were saying about him. "This just in, it is suspected that Strings is dating Sir Pentious-" He turned off the TV because he was laughing so hard. "Sir Pentious? That asshole has been giving me trouble ever since I got here, no way in Hell I'd date him!" He was practically wheezing on the ground. He turned on his radio to Al's station; where pleasant 20's and 30's hits played. It calmed him down, he swayed ever so to the music that played. 

He tidied the place up for Alastor and when he came over for dinner. The apartment looked spick and span after about an hour of cleaning. It was clean before, but now it was as if no one had ever touched the apartment. 

Y/N started cooking something for them both to enjoy. He was aware that Alastor quite liked venison so he made a stew for him and Alastor to enjoy. A knock alerted him that Alastor was at the door. Running over to the door in a black and white checkered apron he opened the door. "Oh hello Alastor! Come on in." He smiled at the Radio demon at his doorstep. Alastor stepped inside and inhaled the wondrous smell of the stew Y/N was cooking. "My my, your music selection is fantastic, and what on Earth are you cooking? It smells delightful!" Alastor showered Y/N in complements as he stirred the stew slowly. "You ready to eat, dear?" Y/N asked as poured some of the stew into two bowls. "Of course! I never knew you cooked." Alastor smiled as he took his bowl and at the dining table. "Well, I've cooked ever since I got here, before when I was alive I didn't cook that often." Y/N explained. 

Y/N soon sat down at the table with his own bowl of stew. "I think that people are starting to catch on." Alastor started. "Mm? How so?" Y/N posed. "Well, Angel stopped by my room asking if I knew you, and then on my way out to meet you here he asked where I was heading, and I of course said I was going to get food." He smiled as he put another piece of deer into his mouth. "I saw on the news that they think I'm with Sir Pentious, so I don't know if they really are catching on." Y/N and Alastor shared a good laugh about how Sir Pentious is a dick and such. 

Hours passed of them sharing each others company. "I should head back, or else Angel is going to think that I am dating you, which I am, but he doesn't need to know." Alastor joked. He put on his coat and gave Y/N a peck on the cheek before going. "I'll see you tomorrow darling!" He called before opening the door and leaving. 

Water ran over the dishes that Y/N was cleaning. He didn't know how long it would be before everyone in Hell knew that the Puppet Master and the Radio Demon were in a romantic relationship. It already took so much not to go out in public together. Alastor wanted to take Y/N to this lovely little coffee shop that serves the best coffee and pancakes in Hell, other than Y/N, at least that's what Alastor said. He would always ask Y/N to bring him coffee in the morning that he made himself. He always said it tasted better because 'it was made with me in mind' he would say. 

Morning came and the smell of coffee filled Y/N's apartment. He was more of a tea person himself, but he always made a small batch of coffee for Alastor. He poured the coffee into a cup and slapped a lid on there. He did the same for his tea, and set out for the Hazbin Hotel. 

When he arrived he ran into Charlie, the gal who ran the whole thing. "Good morning Charlie." He smiled at her as he went up to the elevator and went to Alastor's floor. He wandered down the hallway and knocked at Alastor's door quietly. It swung open and he stepped inside. "Good morning dear." He said as he closed the door. A still half asleep Alastor laid in his bed. Y/N set the coffee at his bedside table and gently shook Alastor awake. "Wake up dear, I made coffee for you, just how you like it." Y/N whispered to Alastor. He stirred awake and yawned. He grabbed the coffee and took a sip, seeming to wake up almost spontaneously. "Ah! Good morning darling! Thank you for the coffee." He smiled wide and took another swig of the coffee. "I wish we could go out, but ya know, the world doesn't quite know about us yet." Y/N watched out of Alastor's window as he saw people being mugged, car crashes, and even murder. Alastor sat beside Y/N and watched the chaos unfold as they drank their beverages. 

"Maybe we can go out." Alastor started. Y/N looked up at him quizzically. "I know a clearing in the woods where we can have lunch." Alastor smiled at Y/N warmly. "That sounds great, I can make us lunch if you want." Y/N offered. "I would love that, dear." Alastor scooted a bit closer to Y/N until they were practically side hugging. Alastor rested his head on Y/N's shoulder as he giggled at him. 

"Can we just stay like this forever?" Y/N asked suddenly. "I certainly hope dear." Alastor replied, giving Y/N another peck on the cheek. Y/N looked at his wrist watch. "It's 11, I should return home and make us some lunch, anything you want in particular?" He asked Alastor. "Anything you make I will eat, even if it doesn't have venison." Alastor stated. Y/N nodded and stood up to grab his coat that he had hung up. 

Y/N returned home to make a nice lunch for himself and Alastor. A simple meal of BLTs would do. He wrapped the sandwiches in plastic containers. He also brought some chocolate strawberries he had made yesterday after Alastor left. He was his strawberry pimp after all. He told him it was a nickname he had gotten from Angel Dust.

Back to the Hazbin Hotel he went. Alastor was his guide to the spot in the forest. He had the lunch in a small picnic basket that was filled to the brim with food he had made. Knocking on the door that led to his lovers room he opened the door. "Ready to go?" He asked. Y/N nodded and held up the picnic basket with a smile. "AHA! I KNEW SOMETHING WAS GOING ON BETWEEN YOU TWO!" Angel shouted from down the hall. 

Y/N used his puppetry to stop him. Strings came down from the ceiling and grabbed his arms keeping him from running. "You pitiful demon. You're wasting our time, if I hear a word from the news saying anything about us I will personally kill you myself." Y/N spoke calmly, eerily so. The strings released Angel as he ran off elsewhere. "Should we head out now?" He looked up to Alastor as he nodded. 

Alastor dragged Y/N by the hand into a serene spot in the forest. It was so peaceful, yet it was in Hell. You would've never imagined that something so pretty, so pure, was in Hell. Small yellow buds of flowers popped up around the area. The grass was a sap green that didn't suit Hell in the slightest. "Wow Alastor, it's great..." Y/N was almost speechless. Alastor smirked at Y/N as he stood in awe. "I even brought a radio for us to listen to." Alastor added to the charm of the forest by putting on some good swing songs. 

They ate in the calm of the forest. Casual conversation happened now and again, but for the most part they just listened to the radio and enjoyed each others features. Alastor kept his word and thoroughly enjoyed Y/N's cooking even if it wasn't what he was used to.

Suddenly the radio turned to the news. The two of them turned their head suddenly at the radio in confusion. "666 News, back again with a new theory about Strings the Puppet Master and his mysterious lover!" Y/N sighed and shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Pornstar Angel Dust reports that he saw Strings bringing the RADIO DEMON coffee and that they were going out on a date together!" Alastor gaped at the radio, while Y/N sat trying to comprehend what just happened. 

"They fucking know Alastor, I can't calm down! Now I have to kill Angel Dust!" Alastor sighed and held Y/N close. "Maybe this was for the better, now we can go out in public I guess?" Alastor tried to find hope, tried to keep himself optimistic. Y/N wrapped his arms tightly around Alastor in fear. "I just don't want to leave you Al, you're the best thing that's happened since I got to Hell..." He muttered into Alastor's chest. He sighed intently and brushed through Y/N's hair with his fingers. 

"Who cares if they know, keeping secrets wasn't exactly my strong suit either." Alastor pulled Y/N into a calming kiss. That was the first time Alastor had pulled him into an actual kiss. It was just pecks on the cheek until then. Y/N wrapped his arms around Alastor's neck deepening the kiss. They pulled apart and Y/N buried his head into Alastor's shoulder out of embarrassment. 

Wow. This is my longest chapter at about 3000 words. I hOPE YOU ENJOYED <33
