Chapter Text
Verosika rolled her eyes.
Here they were again.
Blitzo Buckzo.
Someone that she used to know.
And….
No. No, he doesn’t count.
The tiny asshole who broke her heart and ruined everything she had back then.
Left her with a helluva mess.
But she picked herself back up.
She got her shit back together and was famous!
Loved!
Wanted!
She only thought about him once a year at the Fuck Blitzo party.
And now she ran into him again.
All over a damn parking space.
“Hold on! You’re gonna move that Pussy Wagon, or I’m gonna-“
“Mom?” A young boy’s voice interrupted Blitzo’s rant.
Verosika’s blood went cold.
He was supposed to be sleeping.
Blitzo paused midrant.
“…Mom? Hah! I fucking knew something like this would happen! You….”
Blitzo trailed off as a head popped up from the backseat of Verosika’s car.
He couldn’t have been more than six years old. A hybrid. His skin was more reddish than pink, and his messy hair was the same color as Verosika’s. Tiny bat wings stuck out from under his Fizzarolli T-shirt.
His horns were larger than the typical Incubus style horns and curved back.
His features were more angular than Verosika’s. More like….
More like….
It clicked.
“Verosika, is… is…”
Blitzo jabbed a finger at the child and back and himself. He continued to rapidly repeat the gesture as Verosika sighed.
“Yeah. He is.”
Blitzo’s eyes rolled back and the imp’s knees buckled. Loona shot out of the van and caught Blitzo.
“What the fuck was that?!?” Loona snarled.
“…Ver, you sure you want to do this?”
“Yeah. I do.”
Verosika walked around and opened the back door of the car. The child hopped out and took her hand.
“Listen, I have a lot of stuff I need to talk with Blitz-O about, find a place to park and…I’ll see you inside. Tex, take them to my office.”
“We got it,” Millie nodded.
Loona hoisted Blitzo over her shoulder and followed Tex.
“Mom, who’s that?”
Verosika paused.
“Someone important for both of us.”
——
Blitzo shot up with a panicked gasp. He reached under his jacket and-
“Really? First thing you do is go for a gun?”
Verosika frowned and shook her head.
“…Oh, Verosika, I had a fucking weird dream. You said I had a kid,” Blitzo sighed.
“You do.”
The two stared at each other in awkward silence.
“….I-“
“I get why you wouldn’t say anything,” Blitzo cut her off, “I just…”
Blitzo sighed.
“Tell me about him?”
“What makes you think you even deserve that?” She shot back.
Blitzo angrily opened his mouth and prepared to yell, but caught himself.
“You’re right,”
“What?”
“Look, nothing I say is going to make up for what I did to you. And if you want to keep me out of his life, I completely understand that. But if you don’t…”
Blitzo paused.
“You could have just not said anything to me and we could have gone our separate ways.
Why tell me now?”
Verosika looked away.
“I’ve been keeping you a secret from him all this time. I thought about getting rid of the baby and putting him into the system when he was born.
But when he was born, I finally got to see him myself….
I couldn’t bring myself to do that. It was rough, but…but it’s worth it.
I had a lot of time to think about how You fucked me over, but he’s innocent.”
“You didn’t say anything about me to him? Not even with your parties?”
“….I wanted him to make that decision when he was old enough to. I hate your guts, he gets to decide if he hates you when he gets old enough.”
The two fell silent again.
“Look, you say no, and I drop this whole thing. But…You know about my dad. You know he’s a shitty, shitty guy. I don’t want to be that. I want to be a good dad to any kids I have, even if it’s this late.
But if you want me to be part of his life, then I’m going to be the best fucking dad I can be.
You say No and…I’ll forget this whole thing happened.”
“You stalker Assho-“
“No, I mean it. We run into each other, it goes back to how it was, I…I ignore him.”
Verosika shook her head and sighed.
“Where was this Blitzo?”
“He didn’t exist. He didn’t get his shit together.”
Verosika paused.
“Fuck it. We’re not getting back together.”
“I know.”
“But we’ll give this a try.”
Blitzo hopped to his feet and began to run towards the door. Verosika stepped in front of him and jabbed a finger into his face.
“But let’s make this clear, Blitz-O. You make him cry, you make him sad, you do anything to fuck up and break his heart…
And I’m burying you in an unmarked grave in Wrath.”
“Ver, if I screw up with him, I’ll dig the fucking hole for you.”
“Good.”
“…What’s his name?”
“His name is Blame Mayday.”
Blitzo stared at her with a confused look.
“You named him Blame?”
“It sounded good. I kept telling myself I couldn’t blame him for what you did and…It stuck. Besides, I have a bitch named Apple.”
——
Moxxie, Millie and Loona awkwardly sat as the collected Succubi and Incubi played with the child.
“So, uh…This normal?” Loona asked Vortex.
“More or less. Usually it’s just one or two of them, but I guess they wanted all hands on deck for this.”
“Who’s the dad anyway?”
“….well…”
The door opened as Verosika and Blitzo stepped out.
“Listen up, Slu…You guys,” Verosika hastily corrected herself.
“Moxx, Millie, Loona,” Blitzo nodded.
“Blame, come here, Sweetie.”
Blame went over to Verosika. The Succubus crouched down and took his hands.
“Sweetie, I have someone I want you to meet.”
Verosika reached out and put a hand on Blitzo’s shoulder.
“This…This is your dad.”
“What the Fu-“
Moxxie clamped a hand over Millie's mouth.
“Sir? You have a child?”
“You have a kid?” Loona asked.
Blame stared at Blitzo, a confused look on his face.
“I have a dad?”
“Of course you do, why wouldn’t you?” Verosika asked.
“Aunty Milky said I was dropped off by Prince Chax. She said the Ars Goetia give babies out.”
Blitzo and two of the Incubi burst out laughing as several of the succubi and Verosika facepalmed. The fat, short succubus shrugged and smiled awkwardly.
“Milky, you dumb bitch.”
“I panicked!”
Verosika took a breath and sighed.
“No, that’s not how it works. This is Blitzo and he’s your dad. Your actual dad.”
“Hey Buddy,” Blitzo awkwardly waved.
A moment passed.
Then another.
Another.
Blame awkwardly hugged Blitzo.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Blitzo,” he said.
“Nice to meet you too, kid,”
Blitzo returned the hug as Verosika smiled.
Loona’s ears drooped and her tail curled beneath her.
