| I'm in Hell, yet this is Heaven |
{Soulmate AU}

---

A thin red string connected all of us to the person made just for us, and we were made for them. I had thought that it only applied when you were alive, and when you died you lost your chance for love. I didn't even know if love was real, or if it was just a big hoax. Did this twine really lead to anyone? Everyone had a string, but only you and the other person could see your strings that lead to the other. Many people in my life chased after the string, they would fly, drive, or even sail to wherever the string led then. 

All of my friends in life had found their loved one, some while in school, and some in collage, some at work, and others just down the street. I was the odd one out, I never found them. I didn't wish to waste my life chasing after something I barely believed in. Clearly my soulmate didn't want to chase it either, we were probably the same amount of lazy. My parents would ridicule me, tell me I would never find true love. 

In life I didn't care about love. I didn't want anyone's love, and I didn't want to share the dwindling supply that I held. No one ever would shut up about how great being in love felt, and I was sick of it. One moment later I found blood splattered across the walls, the ceiling, and myself. I washed up and killed myself, the police wouldn't ever catch me alive. I had murdered my dear mother and father, what a shame. Except I didn't feel remorse, and I still don't. Sympathy would have to wait for another victim, because I certainly wasn't going to put u with it's shit.

Arriving in Hell was rough. No one bothered to guide me anywhere, and I wandered aimlessly down the sidewalk as demons of all kinds brushed past me. A normal person would be scared of the demons alongside them. But I was no normal person, I too was a demon, and a tall one at that. (Sorry to my short people, but you hAVE GROWN) Few demons dared to even look at me, was I really that scary? My reflection on the shop windows said yes. With my long ears and sharp teeth I really did look terrifying. My next job would've been your sleep paralysis demon, if I wasn't in Hell.

Walking the streets of Hell was honestly far less scary then you would think. I was a fearsome looking creature now, so I doubted that I would be mugged or murdered. Wait if I got murdered where would I go? Would I just disappear from Hell, become nothing, or fade from existence itself? The bright neon sign that read 'NEW DEMONS HERE' instantly caught my attention. I mean, how could it not? It called to my demographic in particular. 

I waltzed into the building and was met with a small waiting room. One empty chair was left, and I took it. The other demons in the room all looked scared or confused. "Hey newest of the bunch, what's your name?" A girl with red fur on her cheeks asked me. "Y/N." I wasn't known for talking much, I found that speaking through expressions tended to be easier. She looked up at me with a gleeful smile on her face. "Have any idea why you're here?" She asked curiously. "Murder." I watched the smile drain from her face as she looked away quickly. Then I was finally left alone, no one wanted to talk to a murderer, and for good reason. 

That was when I noticed it. The red string was still attached to my left hand. It was still on my ring finger. My soulmate was in Hell with me, and I still had the chance to find them. A smile crept onto my face. "Whatchu smiling about?" The girl asked again, she just didn't get the hint, and I thought she would leave me alone because I was a murderer. "The red string is still there." Looking in awe at the thin string that held me and my future lover together. "You never found them while you were alive?" Her confusion was easily visible on her face. "I never thought I could love, it was a waste of time." Speaking the most that I probably would ever in the room my name was called into a different room. 

After walking out now knowing every sin I had committed, and being given a mirror to admire my now terrifying looks. It really did reflect how I lived my life, yet it was still me. A red line was on my neck, probably given to me from never actually wishing to follow the string that held me to them. I didn't have anything to do now, maybe I could mug a few people, gamble my life away, or drink til I was found passed out in the ditch. But I didn't want to do any of that, I wanted to chase the string this time around. 

Following the string to wherever it led it I found myself at the door of the 'Hazbin Hotel'. The building was a peculiar sight, it looked as if it would topple over at any moment. I raised my eyebrows and sighed before knocking on the door. 

"Oh hello!" A cheery eyed girl with red cheeks and blonde hair answered the door. I waved at her calmly. "Not much of a talker, huh... Come on in!" She pulled me into the lobby with her. "So are you looking to stay here as a resident or..?" She asked me. "I'm following the string." I gestured to my left hand where everyone apparently had a string attached to them. Her eyes widened as a big smile showed on her face. "Oh really? I think everyone here has found their soulmates though..." A puzzled look on her face was what I was looking at. "Well, it brought me here. I'll follow the string from this point on." I parted away from the girl to follow the red string that led me to them.

I stopped at a door in the hotel. The string slipped under the door so I knocked softly. The door swung open quickly. "What." A gray cat spat at me. I just pointed to the string attached to my finger. His eyes widened in shock. "So Soulmates still work here in Hell, huh?" He muttered under his breath. "I'm Y/N, what's your name?" I asked curiously. "Husk, nice to meet you Soulmate." He offered his hand out for a shake, and I accepted. "Nice to meet you Soulmate." I whispered mockingly. 

He invited me into his room and we talked for hours until someone knocked on the door. "What the hell do you want." He was very annoyed as soon as he opened up the door. "Ah! Husker how have things been?" A static voice rang through the air. "Actually pretty good, I found my Soulmate, or rather they found me." He chuckled softly. I took this as my cue to walk up beside him. "Ah hello dear! I'm Alastor, and you are?" He bowed down to me, a strange fellow he was. "Y/N." My name seemed to startle him a little. His smile widened as he shook my hand quickly and left. "Yeah, fucking weirdo I know." Husk laughed quietly as I smiled at him. "I think I should check in here." I gave the idea to him as he nodded and followed me to the lobby. 

"NO FUCKING WAY." The blonde girl said as I walked down into the lobby with Husk. "Are you guys just old friends or are yOU ACTUALLY SOULMATES?" She started to jump excitedly. "Cal your tits Charlie. This is Y/N, my Soulmate." Husk muttered the last part shyly. He didn't seem used to the idea of love at all, and I guess I wasn't either. "HOLY SHIT! VAGGIE GET OVER HERE!" Charlie yelled off to some other demon as they came rushing in to see what the problem was. "Vaggie, this is Y/N, Husk's SOULMATE." She introduced me quickly as I saw the gray girl's face change from confusion to shock. "Husk you have a Soulmate??" She must've thought that Husk never even could love. "I guess so." He said sharply.

"I was wondering if I could check in." I said blankly. Charlie ran to go get papers for me to sign, and I assume a room key. Quickly she came back with a couple papers for me to go through. Flipping carefully through the pile of papers she had handed to me I signed it to receive my key. "Good to have a new client! Enjoy your stay!" She called as I wondered off to find my room and live in the strange hotel for as long as I needed. 

Sorry this one's short! I needed to finish it so I could work on some other oneshots, and bESIDES NO ONE REQUESTED THIS BUT Y'ALL WE ARE AT 1k VIEWS NOW AND OMFG I'M SCREAMING.
