Chapter: Thirteen

(Hello again! Hope you enjoy, this chapter will have some art at the end of my ocs)

POV by checkers:

I was sitting on the ground in hell, I didn't have anything to do so I just sat there. Henchmen walked up to me carrying boxes, he seemed exhausted.

I smiled at him, "hey Henchmen! I'm glad to see you working again, what's up?" I asked, standing up and following Henchmen as he carried the box to the meeting room.

He placed the box down next to the table. He smiled back at him, wiping sweat from his face. "Hiya, Checker! Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better" "right now I'm setting up a small party for Stickler" He exclaimed happily.

I smiled at him excitedly, "really?! A party?! Yay! Wait, why?" I asked curiously, tilting my head at him. He opened the box and started setting up the table, "it's his birthday! He's turning 101!" Henchmen exclaimed happily.

"Ooh a birthday party?! Cool! I've never been to one before!!" I exclaimed jumping up and down, clapping excitedly. Henchmen chuckled at me, "yeah, You can help me set up if you want" he said simply, setting up balloons.

"Awesome!" I exclaimed, quickly grabbing the box and pulling out different decorations. "Also, you haven't been to a birthday party before?" Henchmen asked me, mostly paying attention to what he was doing. I shook my head.

"Nope! I've never had any friends who would invite me to one" "whenever I'd have a birthday party no one would go" I told him, smiling sadly as I placed paper plates on the table. Henchmen looked at me and frowned, "aww jeez- I'm sorry about that" he said looking at me with sympathy.

My eyes widened for a minute as I stared at him, I quickly turned away. "It's fine! Who's invited?" I quickly ask, as I finished setting up the table. "This is just a small party here at work, so just everyone in the office" "king dice said he might be joining us later though" he told me.

"Yay! Dad's boyfriend!" I exclaimed excitedly, smiling at him. Henchmen chuckled, "I can't believe you told him that!" He exclaimed, pushing me playfully. I giggled and nodded, "I couldn't stop myself! I saw how they were looking at each other and I just knew it! Dad wasn't gonna do anything, so I gave him a little push I guess-" I said shrugging slightly.

Henchmen giggled and nodded, "yeah, boss isn't the one to take action when it comes to feelings" he told me to which I nodded. Speaking of the devil, (and he is the devil) Father walked into the meeting room, looking around at the decorations we set up.

I smiled at him happily, "hello father! We set up sticklers party!" I exclaimed showing him the set up. He rolled his eyes and nodded, "yeah, cool" "I'm not here for sticklers party, I wanted to talk with Henchmen" he said turning towards him, Henchmen pointed to himself surprised.

"Oh! Of course, boss" he said back simply, following Father and walking out of the meeting room. I watched them leave, sitting back down at the table. I waited for them to get back.

POV by devil:

Me and Henchmen walk over to a different room. I turn to him, "Henchmen! Lilith is coming over here later today..." I groaned, looking at him nervously. His eyes widened slightly and he gave me a sympathetic look.

He motioned for me to come closer to him, I did so. I leaned down so then he could place his hand on my back. He started to pat me, "it's gonna be okay, boss" he reassured me, continuing to pat. I breathed in and out, looking at him nervously. "How do you know?" I asked him anxiously.

"Because, if something bad happens, I'll just kick her out! No one ruins sticklers birthday party" he told me, smiling darkly. I tilted my head at that but decided to ignore it. "I'm also worried since...King dice will be here too" I told him, anxiously playing with my tail.
