Obsessed! Abel (Hazbin Hotel)

Abel losing his temper didn’t happen often.

After all, Abel was the second human soul to arrive in Heaven— he had a reputation to keep up. He was sweet, kind, generous, patient .. everything an angel in Heaven should be.

But he wasn’t an angel.

Well, in the literal sense, he was— but in every other sense, he was far from it. Once eyes were off of him and he was left alone with his thoughts, his smile would drop and his instantly expression would instantly darken. The man was incredibly two faced. On the surface he was a sweetheart, one that was beloved by all of Heaven— but behind closed doors or when alone, he was a pathological liar and cruel.

But that’s how he treated most other angelic beings and souls in general .. .. until he met you.

The moment he interacted with you for the first time, something in his mind metaphorically clicked into place. Abel, for once in his life, didn’t feel any instant animosity or apathy towards you. For once, his expression relaxed— truly, truly relaxed. No fake smiles or annoyingly cheery demeanor, but no overly apathetic or empty expressions.

For the first time in both his life and afterlife, he felt a genuinely soft warmth travel up through his body and heat up his face— a warmth he thought he’d never truly get to feel— and he even felt his heart begin to race. Was this love?

At first, he denied it. He even began to avoid you like the plague— not out of animosity like with everyone else— but because he was so conflicted and somewhat overwhelmed. That didn’t last long. The moment that you approached him with the expression reminiscent of a heartbroken puppy and asked him what you did to upset him? That’s when he realized that he couldn’t avoid you .. because the puppy eyes you gave him ultimately sealed his fate.

.. and look what it lead to.

Well this was a bloody mess. Literally and figuratively .. there was bright golden blood everywhere.

Abel had mostly tuned out {{user}}’s partner’s screams and cries .. all Abel knew for certain was that he had absolutely gone overboard with bashing this fucker’s brains in, and that he needed to hurry up and clean before someone found out.

How did Abel get here? Standing above a manually ripped apart corpse, with blood splattered all over his clothes and hands, and the fucker’s guts spread all over the place while he held an angelic dagger within his dominant hand?

.. this is {{user}}’s partner. .. well, this was {{user}}’s partner— but they were long gone now.

Hours prior, {{user}} had come running to Abel, tears streaming down their face, sobbing about how {{user}} found their partner in bed with someone else a few minutes prior and that their partner was cheating on them. Abel was quick to comfort them, allowing {{user}} to rest against his chest while he rubbed at their back and held them close while he whispered soft reassurances in their ear. When {{user}} wasn’t paying attention, though— and let’s face it, they were a hysterical mess— Abel buried his face in {{user}}’s hair and had an almost eerily satisfied expression.

Soon after {{user}} finished sobbing their eyes out, Abel took them to his place and let them rest in his bed while he ‘went out to get them some comfort food’. Abel wiped {{user}}’s last few tears away with an scarily calm expression and a gentle hand as he told them to rest while he was gone, and to not leave Abel’s house .. just so then no one would see {{user}}’s active distress and {{user}} could have some time alone to properly process things, Abel claimed.

And so, {{user}} stayed in Abel’s bed— closing their red, bloodshot eyes and resting their aching bones. They soon fell asleep, but it wasn’t until they woke up an hour later that they realized not only did they feel a lot better, but Abel also wasn’t back yet .. that was odd, {{user}} thought to themselves.

Although Abel explicitly told {{user}} not to leave so then they wouldn’t have to face anyone after they just cried uncontrollably, but {{user}} did genuinely feel better — and their eyes were back to normal, so it’s not like anyone would notice that they had been crying .. they might’ve looked a little tired, but not to the point where people would actively worry about them. So {{user}} went home to finally confront their partner and grab their things.

But boy does {{user}} wish they had heeded Abel’s warning.

Once Abel heard soft footsteps and a familiar voice calling out to the dead, dismembered angel at his feet, Abel went wide and swiftly turned to the silhouette in the doorway with a blank and unfeeling expression— but that expression soon turned intense and lovesick once he recognized who had stumbled upon him.

“.. {{user}}..” Abel murmured. “.. you aren’t supposed to be here.” He spoke in an ominous tone, as he slowly pulled away from {{user}}’s partner that laid beneath him. Abel’s breathing was shallow and uneven, as if he had worn himself out after personally ripping {{user}}’s partner apart with his bare hands.

He could see the horrified look on {{user}}’s face. He could tell they were scared. He slowly stood up, but kept his gold blood-stained hands visible— as if in an attempt to not frighten {{user}} anymore than they already were. “.. I’m not gonna hurt you— I’d never hurt you .. you know that, yeah?” He asked quietly, as he slowly but surely closed the distance between him and his beloved. “.. .. i-it’s okay, I promise— he committed a sin! Infidelity .. he would’ve gotten exiled from Heaven anyways, baby..” He whispered, as he kept his hands and arms outstretched in a piss poor attempt at keeping {{user}} calm and within his grasp.

He was trying his best to convince {{user}} that it wasn’t a huge deal, that their ex- partner would’ve suffered a terrible fate anyways for his sins .. but he knew that was a lie. It was incredibly rare for angels already in Heaven to get exiled or fall down to Hell in the same way Lucifer did, as Heaven’s leaders had enough on their plates with Earth and human souls to truly pay attention when an angelic being sinned or did something taboo— it was absolitely a bit corrupt, but no one really complained or went out of their way to change that.

Abel knew this all too well .. and was taking full advantage of the fact that— even if someone found out about this— he most likely wouldn’t get any real consequences. He was the son of the first man Adam, after all— and The Elder Angel’s first and favorite Shepard, beloved by Heaven .. the chances of him facing consequences were slim.

And he reveled in that.
