After the battle that wrecked most of Pentagram City me and Lucifer returned back to the Hazbin Hotel with a rather angry Charlie in Tow, though most people loved the fight a lot of people lost there bets as they didn't think the fight would end in a draw, all accept for Mammon and a few others who raked in the money for themselves as they had a good guess how the fight would really end.
Currently me and Lucifer were sitting on opposite ends of a rather large couch while not even looking at each other as we were both still, for the most part, pissed at each other but we had both gotten the beat down we needed on the both us to no longer be at each others throats.
*Ehem!* "Isn't there something you two should be doing right now?" Charlie said looking down at the both of us with a surprisingly mean look in her eyes as she was pissed about everything that went down.
"I really do see your mother in you when you do that, same look and everything when I'd go to far on anything I did, or when your pops would miss important things that he was supposed to be at." I say as I give the side eye to Lucifer but he scoffs at hearing that, but shuts up when he sees Charlie looking at him specifically.
"Alright I'll go first, I am Sorry Lucifer, for antagonizing you and one uping you on how well you know Charlie and her secrets." I say which makes Charlie remember the game we had earlier and begins to hide her face in embarrassment.
"But I will make one thing clear, I'm going to hate you with every fiber of my being until the day I die or until hell ceases to exist, and that's a fact that will never change no matter what you try and do." I said making it abundantly clear that Lucifer wasn't forgiven for being one of the two main reasons for my wife and my children's deaths.
He sighed when he heard that, "I Understand…. I wouldn't forgive me for that either, and I'm sorry for starting the fight, but it doesn't mean I like you for taking the position of father from me with my own daughter." He said which I just shook my head.
"How the hell is it my fault that you were too 'busy' to be around your daughter that you Ex-Wife had to ask me personally to watch after Charlie as she grew up?" I said striking at his sore spot which genuinely made him depressed.
"I just…."
"Just what?"
"I Just didn't want to have Charlie seeing me at my lowest all the time, the fact I can never see the good in humanity and be trapped down here forever with the worst that humanity has to offer tears me up inside every waking moment I spend down here…. If I couldn't always keep a smile on my face while I'm around Charlie and keep my perfect little angel always smiling and happy…. I just didn't want my depression to influence her and make her just as downtrodden and broken as me….." He said as he covered his face with his hands to hide the tears that were threatening to form.
"Dad…." Charlie said feeling sad for him and finally knowing why he was so absent in her life.
"Funny, everytime I took care of Charlie when she was growing up she couldn't stop talking about you, you were always there to read her a bedtime stories and letting her see those beautiful dreams you had for humanity had the angels listened to you and everything went your way, she painted such a great picture of you that I felt jealous that you could do something I couldn't do, Read Charlie a bed time story, tuck her in her bed and put her to sleep." I said which made Lucifer pull his hands away from his face and look to me with a slightly shocked look on his face.
"What? You think that there's nothing I'd ever be jealous of you for having? Well I had two but it's only one thing now, you had a wife who was with you since the beginning, and a daughter to call your own, I've had kids but…. I always outlive them as most of the other races of hell aren't Immortal like Sinners are…." I said now feeling sad about myself, slowly realizing that both of us were sad men in a way, he focused on his passions to keep his mind off the pain and I let myself be swayed by my vices while I was happy spending time with Charlie, but we both were doing those things to forget the pain.
"Uncle…. No, Papa." Charlie said which made my eyes widen as I clenched my chest while I could see Lucifer's eye twitch from me being called that and in any other situation I would gloat in his face for that but I just calmed myself as I looked at her.
"What is it my little girl?" I said as I felt a bit smug with the sound of Lucifer grinding his teeth to hold back his anger at the current situation.
"Can you please tell me, tell me everything that happened that made you both this way, why there is such a deep seated hatred you both feel for one another." She said as she only had bits and pieces but not the full picture of the story.
Hearing that I sighed, "I guess I should tell you, but today I will only give you the short of it and not the full details on my past, one we both will tell." I say looking towards Lucifer as we both have two sides of the same story and different reasons for what happened that day nearly seven million years ago.
The story of how I ended up walking down the path I am on and who I became today because of those days events.
*****
I say short but it's still gonna get a chapter on its own to talk about on its own, though if I went into heavy details it could be several chapters about the events of that day but this will be the simplified one and to the point from only his and Lucifer's view points as we exclude Roae, Lillith and Adam's views on that day as well.
