Chapter 87

It's back everyone!

NOTE: I've been on a write block. Which is why it has been a while for a post. Along with of course doubts of wishing I change it again. You know like different directions, pacing, timing and all that fun jazz stuff even in the other book. I mean for peak sake supposed to be mostly humor and now this. You all get it if you been there. But at last, gotta keep going and that is why we got the drabble book on standby. So, if thing get slow on updates that on me.

NOTE 2: Remember this Universe is different compared to the show canon. A few similarities may be mentioned or intel change slightly. Again, this book is focus on the Helluva side with Hazbin mention here, there in some ways or the background.

Enjoy!

"What are your plans for this week?" Millie asked Moxxie as she change another channel. Not bothered to hear some talk about hotel finally opening up with the whole redemption thing. Talks about doom. War. Abuse the anchorwoman showing on the anchor guy.

Gosh nothing good on these days.

"Going to go with Rattles to Wrath." Bore at some cringy, complicated villain show. "A bit riding in area for Bombproof. He also wants to show me something."

"Did he say where?"

"It's going to be east-south corner of ring."

"That's it."

"Yep." Shrug. "As long back in Wrath I don't care."

"Fair to that. Hey while your down there. Can you get some gator bites for me?"

"Glaze, fried or both?"

"Fried."

"You got it." Change another channel. "How about IMP?"

"Might bring the interns around for another mission." She grinned. "They miss you."

Roll their eyes at her. "You're as bad as Blitz."

"Team M&B."

"Sounds like a college team."

What was Striker doing exactly in Wrath until Moxxie goes with them exactly?

Besides obvious answers can come back here no matter what. It was their home ring.

Simple.

Striker wants to find a livable place in Wrath.

What?

Striker wants a place to actually settle down at times. Closer with his work too.

What about Susie property?

Striker sold that a long time ago. He did it around the time he murder the noble who took his mother life. It never was the same after his Ma, Whistler death. Plus, at the time he needed money. A lot of odd jobs help out but he wanted out the area. So, he sold the small home with the barn. He actually sold it to one of his ma closes worker friend at the saloon. Found a lucky guy to move in. It was getting serious and didn't want to leave the area. A deal was made. Last time he checks it was doing well. It just he rarely goes back to that home and area in general unless by confidence or when a job he had to do but stay low.

It was like that all around. Either stay in random places depending on the job. Able to wing it with enough money on hand.

The work and living condition when he join Grillo. Rarely likes to think about it. The town when he stayed still haunts him when he got trick. It was a town he would have truly mind living in and settle down.

Then when he was on his own again and taking his own kind assassination work. Either stay in motels, hire work with living arrangements or go to many hideouts he made like the one in a volcano. He still a little peeved off never getting all of his stuff back from there. Besides the statue that he glad destroyed. Got to count when he was being 'baby-sitter' by Butcher. A whole level of different kind of camping but he like it. Grew. Learn in other ways.

Of, course also the apartment when he stayed in Pride. Then later on with Moxxie moving in with him. Best time mind you. Same could be said when he learns under Butcher.

When he stayed at Stolas mansion for guard sitting turn babysitting. It was livable too. Along with holding back the urge to take out the trash.

Deserved a medal with all that bullshit but job a job.

Right now, after the kid finally turn eighteen, lives with Moxxie at the apartment. Unless pull in with a job then gone around 1-3 days. Plus, if he got his own business he working on.

One of it being like a permanent place.

Listen, he hates Pride end of story. Moxxie is the same way. The stay was just longer than it should have turn out. Moxxie plan was to always return back to the Wrath ring as it was too their home. Stuff just happens.

So, much of it.

Some of it good.

Some of it bad.

Some of it brought results.

Some of it brought in new members of the family, friends.

Some of it many would like it stay buried forever.

Any who.

Many options to find.

Striker does want a home with a decent open space for Bombproof. He wants a place that his work will not follow him. Can find ways to escape out. He wants a place that Moxxie will be comfortable in and can do their work. Well, that last part easy enough. Give them a box and will be fine.

FYI not really going to give them a box to sleep in. Maybe mess with them to throw them in it. Bet the little shit got many one liners plan for that. Or whatever pops in that fluffy head of theirs he enjoys very much.

If anything, Striker wants a place similar to what Maria had. The size, the same property size, and how wasn't too far away from town. Would have ask about buying it but knows that off the table. Besides obvious reasons. Even with the wedding approaches. We're plan made so Maria can still go back and forth to Wrath and Pride. One, being with her portal bracelet help out. Also, her home was also her business which is another reason wouldn't completely sell it. She also made it very clear that everything on the property to the brand does go Moxxie. No, kind of selling will ever happen.

So, in a way yes at least that open. Can be all fine with that but still got to have another place before the whiskey season right back up.

Finally, found a decent spot and goes to bring Moxxie around to look at with him.

"What you think of the outside place?" Striker asked Moxxie as the pair look around.

"Open." Point outside. "Bombproof really like it."

The horse pants, stomps around. Thrill to the core to be riding a lot again.

"He sure does." Pat the horse neck. "Come on let's get you in the gate."

After the pair let Bombproof settle around in the gate. The pair go inside to check out the place Size wise it was decent. Close to Maria own house floor plan. It was good. Livable. The area wasn't over populated.

"Well?"

"I like it. Along with the area your in."

"Good. Want it to be good for both of us when your ready to move in."

"Both?"

"Yes." Nudge them. "Already lived together in the apartment. Why stop there?"

Moxxie walks around the place while still talking. "Is this you asking. I move in with you in advance."

"Yes."

"Rattles are you," Felt him sneak a kiss in. A full on one mind you as he lowered himself down. Fine want to play that game? Return the kiss back with the same amount of power.

Striker pants as he presses his forehead against Moxxie own. Both of them just taking in the other presence.

Would have made a retort on their own close call but held it back. Really, doing better on the timing of talks. At least read the room a bit. Instead said something else. "Also, isn't it rude to be getting feisty like this. Not even your place but to look at."

Let out a full blow laugh. "That's funny coming from the one who pull me on the meeting desk and we made out like horny teenagers."

Moxxie face heat a bit at that reminder. While the pair still dating and kept it a secret from the others. The three of them went on a mission instead. Moxxie, Striker was told to stay back this time. That was fine. Moxxie may have gotten a little mouthy so to say the least. Or in Striker words being a teasing little shit on purpose.

How Striker was able to control himself back then to not take Moxxie right there. Is a miracle of its own self. Same with Moxxie as they were still new with the whole dating, and physical interaction in general.

"Remind me to make sure we do that." Nip their horns.

"Or just messed with them that we have." Pat his face. "Wouldn't that be better and drive them up the wall."

"You devious imp." Striker snickered as he nuzzles him. Really did corrupt them a bit. "But seriously what you think of the spot."

"I like it. A lot." Look up at him. "What about you?"

"Yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes, I do like it." Roll his eyes. "Come on Critter."

"Gotta make sure." Expression turns to a grin.

"I think you just like to mess with me."

"I mean who wouldn't with you cowboy." Push his hat down.

"That does it." Grab them to be toss over their shoulder. "Come on were doing this now. Your mouth done it again."

"Impatient."

"I deserved it."

RING!

"Hold that thought." Striker, he pulls his phone. Growl as he sees is Blitz name. He answered it while still holding Moxxie like a sack of potatoes. "Five seconds before I hangup. "

"Are you and Moxxie busy?"

"What of it?" He swears if this is another talk about hanging out, he going to throw his phone. Shudder as the imp tail trace his face. He about ready to rip those wrapping off to bite all over it. Mark everywhere.

"Can you make sure Mox doesn't come back for like let's say 24 hours."

"Why?" Suspicious now. Lower Moxxie down until he was just holding them in one arm. Sees Moxxie give them confused look.

"Because IMP just got a letter."

"What never saw a bill?"

"It's was sent to Moxxie."

Alert, confused now on his face. "Like a death threat or a thank you note?"

IMP mails are usually bills. Occasionally will get death threats. It quite normal for many in that business. It's just that Moxxie did technically quiet for half a year now besides those little favors to delivers or when they watch the interns. This would have to be someone from the past if it directed to them.

"Maybe?"

Face turn to aggravation now. "What you mean maybe?"

"I didn't open it."

"Need me to applaud you for that."

"Look I'll admit trying to open my co-workers' packages but not letters."

"This is why we set traps now."

"I'm lucky to get on top of that building with those little freaks."

"That's your problem." Took a few steps around the empty room as he just holds his cargo and phone. "Got a name?"

"This was sent by that stick in the ass mafia one. Crimson."

Thought all that mafia situation either died down or situated.

"On the envelop he title it Moxxie Knolastname."

"Well, duh of course they wouldn't know his last name. Not like any of us shout it out to the world."

Blitz looks at the letter with IMP address. Moxxie Knolastname written on it. Confuse him greatly why the other imp put that. Unless it some weird mafia threat or secret code for something. On the other hang got to agree with Striker what he just said. Its not like this group say their last name out anyway. Probably some weird mafia trick. "I'm just surprised he actually remember their name?"

"Don't tell me your about to whine not getting a letter."

"I can feel the need to be included."

"Anyway. In that type of business shouldn't be surprise to remember a name of sorts. As for that letter. Discard it. Probably dose it with some drugs if you get it open up. You lot are still on his shit list I bet."

"You were too."

"Hey I technically never approach the guy and I was considered 'dead'." Felt Moxxie tense up at that. Let his tail caress the other tail to get them relax.

"Fine. Fine. One poison threat letter in the shredder." Not going to risk it letting his Loonie sniffed it. 

"Anything else?"

"Nope!"

Hang up to shove his phone in his pocket. Let out a long sigh as he presses his face on top of their head.

"At least you got one of your own questions, answer."

"Too what?"

"Got some good service out here."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

What you think so far?

That's right Striker finding a place to finally move. Will bring Moxxie along when their ready. Also, agreed on the service for phones.

Yeah, everyone having a 'smart' moment because of that last name situation.

Crimson losing his mind a bit not getting any word back. While Alessio did warn him sending a letter wasn't the right direction when it was the other job. Nope lesson learn. Wasn't a threating letter just one to meet.

Also remember the vote awhile back how to do the pairings? It going to be just Error/Moxxie x Striker pairing. No, harem. *Toss tissue boxes around*. At last, that why got the drabbles for that situation.

Random fact/note of the day: The only reason Moxxie/Error never change their hair color is because don't want paint on them. No, paint, ink of any sort of a clear distaste because of Ink. While they don't favor the color white can stand it on them as it not overbearing and can use their scarf to help calm them down. Over the years did get a bit paler so hasn't bothered them as much.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
