Reminder: All events in the chapters Following That's Entertainment/Hazbin Hotel's pilot episode are noncanon to the actual story unless I deem them otherwise until the next official episode comes out.

However, certain aspects I show of Y/n the Dark and other things will be canon since they help the plot. Also, a lot of these noncanon chapters will be based off of fanmade comics. Should have said that before I started making these.

Anyways, enjoy.

Charlie: *narrating* "A year has passed since the Happy Hotel first opened, and it's finally getting some recognition! To celebrate, there's going to be a party!"
_______________

In her hotel room, Charlie is seen lying on her stomach on her bed as she doodles on a piece of paper. She hums a song to herself with a big smile on her face, only for loud arguing right outside to catch her attention. She gets off of her bed and leaves her room to see Vaggie and Y/n arguing with one another.

Y/n: "Miss Vaggie, you are making quite the big deal out of nothing. It's not even much of an issue. I do not see why you keep bringing it up."

Charlie: "What's going on?"

Vaggie turns to her friend and immediately becomes relieved.

Vaggie: "Charlie! Thank God... Can you please help me convince Mr. Dark-and-Brooding over here to take a fucking shower? I don't want him at the party if he reeks like a dumpster fire."

Y/n: "As if I care what others think of me."

Nervous, Charlie walks up to the two arguing demons.

Charlie: "I mean... it's not that noticeable, is it?"

Vaggie: "It will be compared to the others! I managed to convince Husk to wash up, but this pendejo's being an ass!"

Y/n has no retort or counterargument. He just stands there quietly.

Vaggie: "Don't you think it would better the hotel's image if everyone was at least decent?"

Charlie: "Hmm... True..." *turns to Y/n* "Hey, Y/n? I know you're content with how you manage your hygiene--or lack thereof--and it's never been a huge issue... but, do you think that maybe, just for tomorrow, you could be a little more... presentable?"

Y/n stays silent as he thought it over. He has been quite the mess the last few decades, but that was mainly because he never had to look nice for anyone for that long.

Vaggie looks at Y/n, who's still thinking, and then turns to Charlie.

Vaggie: "Is he okay? He doesn't fall asleep with his eyes open, does he?"

Charlie: "I-I'm not sure...? But--"

Cutting Charlie off, Y/n huffs out a breath and turns to walk the other way. This pisses Vaggie off as she thinks he's just ignoring the two and begins cussing him out in Spanish. However, Charlie just watches him leave before sighing.

It was the next morning, and Y/n was standing in his bathroom getting undressed. He's already taken off his jacket and boots, and is now taking off his shirt, revealing all of the bandages wrapped around his arms and torso. The Hellborn glances at the bandages and sighs, realizing what he had to do.

Y/n: "For Charlie... It's for Charlie..."

With that, Y/n begins taking off his bandages and sets drops them to the floor at his feet. He then looks at himself in the mirror to see all the thin scars that ran along his arms and upper body. He had no words or comments on them, seeing as he already knew why he had them and didn't want to speak aloud about them.

Y/n's reflection in the mirror changes to show a younger version of him, about fifty years younger, covered in blood with holes all across his clothing and holding a jacket similar to the one he wears now. An Exorcist Angel leaps up from behind him and brings its weapon down on him, but the instant it does Y/n's reflection returns to normal.

Y/n tenses up a bit and drags his claws across his bathroom sink counter, but soon takes his pants off and then his underwear before stepping into his already on shower. He began washing himself, actually feeling refreshed at the sensation of the cold water hitting and running down his skin.

Later, everyone at the hotel is seen wearing clothing suited for the party. The girls all wore lively dresses while the guys all wore snazzy tuxedos and suits, unless some simply wanted to crossdress.

They were all talking and joking around amongst themselves, and some were even dancing to the music playing. Angel Dust was messing with Husk, much to the drunk's annoyance, only to stop when he saw a specific someone enter the lobby.

Angel Dust: *gasps* "Well, well, well! Ain't someone dressing to impress!"

Overhearing what Angel said and growing curious, Charlie turns to Angel who smiles and points to across the room. She turns there only to gasp, seeing Y/n with his hair done and wearing a black and purple suit.

Charlie: "Wow..."

Y/n smiles a bit shyly as he begins walking towards the other Hazbins, making them look towards him. They all become slightly surprised to see Y/n in such fancy clothing.

Vaggie: "Whoa. That's not something you see every day."

Husk: "Didn't take you for one who dresses up, Y/n."

Y/n clears his throat as he drops his smile.

Y/n: "Yes, well, I am a man of many surprises, aren't I?"

Angel Dust: "You are lookin' hot today, Mr. Dark-and-Brooding!"

This comment makes Y/n smile.

Y/n: "Thank you, Angel."

Y/n then looks at Charlie who had an awestruck look on her face.

Y/n: "Hello, Charlie."

Snapping out of her trance, Charlie gains a huge smile on her face as she steps towards her old friend.

Charlie: "OH, MY GOSH!!! You look terrific, Y/n! You actually freshened up! Your hair looks so nice, and you're wearing the suit your sister gave you!"

Y/n: "Yes, well, it was about time I started treating myself nicely. And to take this out of the closet again after so long. I appreciate the compliment, Charlie, though it is not necessary--"

Y/n stops and freezes up when Charlie hugs him out of nowhere.

Charlie: "But it is! You didn't have to do this, but you did. You went out of your comfort zone. I hope you didn't feel like you were forced to. Even if you go back to your old ways tomorrow, I just want you to know that I'm really proud of you, Y/n."

Y/n stayed silent at this. However, he donned a smile on his face as Charlie let go of him.

Y/n: "You're as sweet as ever, princess. But I think I'll actually start taking care of myself from now on. And, uh, you look spectacular as well, if that means anything."

Charlie blushes a bit at this and twirls around in her dress with a big smile.

Charlie: "Thank you, Y/n! Now, shall we get this party going since you're here now?"

Y/n: "Well, don't let me keep you waiting."

Charlie: "Alright!"

Quickly, Charlie pecked Y/n on the cheek with a kiss which caught him completely off-guard. Charlie then turns to the rest of her friends.

Charlie: "Let's get this party started!"

With that, the party officially began. Y/n, however, simply stood there with a dumbstruck look on his face before he brings a hand up to his cheek to feel where Charlie kissed him. Then his lips curled upwards into a small smile before he walked forward to join the party.
