Hazbin Hotel - Odette x Velvette - Headcanon

I’m so sorry, but I had this idea about Velvette falling for Carmillas daughter and not the time to write a full fic

Of course, these two girls were not strangers; they knew each other from the regular Overlord meetings and had often sat in opposite chairs, however, apart from the occasional cautious exchange of glances, they had not talked a word with each other so far

Odette shared her mother's opinion, and Carmilla Carmine felt a strict rejection towards the three Vees, a rejection of their behavior and disrespect, their lack of seriousness, their greed for money, their lust for power, their irresponsibility, and their self-absorbed attitude

In Odette's eyes, Velvette was just a stupid and arrogant brat who desperately tried to attract all the attention at every given opportunity and clearly had way too much self-confidence, until the two girls met for the first time outside an Overlord meeting

Odette was successfully persuaded by her younger sister to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night and behind their mother's back

Clara wanted to attend a party in another part of the city and dragged her sister along

The moment neon lights blinded Odette and the loud bass deafened her ears, Odette regretted her decision to accompany her sister, as she would surely have a headache the next morning

No more than a minute later, she had lost Clara in the crowd and found herself alone and lost on the dance floor

Suddenly, Odette was approached by Velvette, and she immediately twisted her face in annoyance at her presence; she firmly intended to hit her sister later, of course, Clara had dragged her to a party of the Vees

"What do you want from me?" Odette asked, annoyed.

Velvette grinned widely. "Tell me, sweetheart, how many times would I theoretically have to fuck with you to get a discount on your mother's weapons?" she provocatively inquired, while Odette grimaced in disgust and sized up Velvette from top to bottom

"Never!" she spat. "As long as I'm in my right mind, I wouldn't even dream of it..."

"Too bad!" Velvette pouted.

Odette's and Velvette's paths were to cross for the second time the next day during an Overlord meeting, as Velvette sat down opposite Odette with her arms crossed in front of her chest and the same wide grin as the day before, winking seductively at her, while Odette turned away with an indignant snort

Clara sat next to her sister, her head laid on the table, groaning from the hangover

Odette elbowed Clara and whispered with a cautious look towards their mother that she should pull herself together, the atmosphere between them and Carmilla had been tense since their return from the party the night before

At dawn, the sisters had unsuccessfully tried to sneak into their rooms, their mother had already been waiting for them in the hallway, angrily demanding to know where they had been

Odette tried to downplay their disappearance and think of an excuse, but when Clara accidentally let slip that they had been at a party of the Vees and then had to vomit on the expensive carpet in the hallway, the sisters had definitely lost and faced the consequences: an angry lecture from their mother and a curfew for the next few weeks

Carmilla did not want to hear Odette's arguments against punishment, such as that they were demons, and not teenagers anymore; since early breakfast, the sisters had not spoken a word with their mother, and the atmosphere between them was tense, and they did not exchange a single glance

After the Overlord meeting was over, almost everyone left the meeting room, only Velvette lingered a moment longer to overhear Carmilla ordering her daughters to take the ruined carpet to the cleaners as additional punishment for their forbidden nocturnal outing, that suddenly sparking Velvette's curiosity

Velvette left Valentino and Vox behind and decided to follow Odette and Clara, the overheard conversation had piqued her interest, and she was already figuring out how to use it to her advantage

While the sisters were dragging the carpet to the nearby cleaners, Clara complained a lot about their mother

Odette sighed, understanding both her mother's and her sister's perspectives, and cautiously warned her sister when Clara suggested that they should somehow stand up to their mother and her punishment, like making the awful carpet disappear forever or throwing their own party and ruining the house

Of course, Velvette had followed the sisters to the cleaners and overheard their conversation

With her well-known wide grin, she leaned against a street lamp next to the cleaners, holding her phone in her hand and casually swiping across the screen

"Oh, you two are quite the rebels..." she joked without looking up from her phone's screen. "My offer for business fuckings still stands, sweetheart, in case you're so desperate to get back at your mother..."

“Business fuckings?”, repeated Clara, confused, while Odette felt the heat rise to her cheeks and her face reddened.

"We're going home now!" Odette decided and took her sisters arm to pull her away from Velvette.

Velvette would get her discount eventually, but she decided not to pursue the sisters any further for the time being, because despite the quarrel between Carmilla and her daughters, the arms dealer would not hesitate to make Velvette a head shorter if she got too close to her daughters

On the way home, Clara desperately tried to get more out of her sister about what happened at the party between her and Velvette, but Odette stuck to the simple answer that Velvette had hit on her to get a discount on Carmine weapons

Moreover, Odette asked her sister to keep their encounters with Velvette a secret from their mother

"But you would still tell your own sister immediately if you had a girlfriend, right?" Clara tried to pressure her.

"Yeah…" Odette sighed. She was really becoming weary of the topic of a relationship between her and Velvette.

When Velvette wanted something, she became relentless, and so it happened that Odette desperately tried to drag the cleaned carpet from the cleaners back home while Clara helped their mother with business, and was intercepted by Velvette again

Velvette had threatened the owner of the cleaners to find out when the two Carmine sisters would come back to pick up the carpet

"Do you need help?" With feline friendliness, Velvette circled around Odette, who had thrown the heavy carpet over her shoulder but had already begun to heave under its weight.

"No!" Odette scolded with a face red from exertion.

Velvette followed the girl on her way.

Odette was about to collapse under the weight of the carpet, had Velvette not come to her rescue at the last moment to help her carry the thing the rest of the way and finally spread it out again in the hallway of the Carmine mansion

"What do you want for your generous help?" Odette wanted to know, with her arms crossed in front of her chest. Mentally, she was already preparing for the next argument with her mother, which would surely follow as soon as she found out that her daughter had sold a weapon at a discount to Velvette. The Carmine family, after all, did not do business with the Vees...

Falling into disgrace with her mother for a short time was, however, more preferable to Odette than being permanently killed by a carpet.

As Velvette amusingly noted, Odette had the same stern tone and disapproving look as her mother. At first, Velvette wanted to demand the discount for her help, but then spontaneously another idea came to her head. "Coffee," she bluntly said.

"Coffee?" Odette looked confused.

"Yes!" Velvette nodded. "I'd like to go have coffee with you. When are you free?"

They arranged to meet at a nice café in Cannibal-Town

All evening long, Odette pondered over Velvette, her demand for her help didn't make sense to her and confused her, while Velvette convinced herself on her way home that she was just going to have coffee with Odette to play the long game

"I have a date and must go," Odette explained to her mother the next day, while she kept the details like with whom and where from her.

The dispute between the two girls and their mother had long been settled; they had apologized for sneaking out, and Carmilla had lifted their curfew

Clara and their mother looked at Odette in surprise, but without further questions, they let her go

Besides, Odette fled from her mother's office as quickly as possible; she would face her surely following interrogation later

Velvette had sent a driver for Odette, who picked her up a few streets away from the Carmine factory, and they met in front of a cozy café at the edge of Cannibal-Town, located in a rather quiet area

To Odette's surprise, she enjoyed the meet-up with Velvette very much

At first, the two sat silently opposite each other, staring quietly at their drinks, Velvette had coffee and Odette preferred tea, but then, out of Odette's desperate attempt to overcome the awkward silence, a real conversation developed, and Velvette seemed to genuinely appreciate her company

Hours passed, and they sat together in the café, talking about everything under the sun, they got along really well and when a worried call from Odette's mother interrupted them, and they had to say goodbye, they exchanged numbers

Odette really wanted to continue talking with Velvette, they set a new day for another meeting, and for the rest of the evening, a smile graced her lips whenever she glanced at her phone screen

Odette's and Velvette's secret meet-ups quickly became a regularity, again and again, Odette spent the afternoon with Velvette in some small unknown café, away from prying eyes, without telling her mother or her sister, she couldn’t tell them she was friends with Velvette

Before either Odette or Velvette realized it, their usual meet-ups had turned into romantic dates, and they found themselves sneaking through the back door of a porn-cinema in the middle of the morning, holding hands, to kiss each other in the darkness and solitude of the deserted hall, paying no attention to the movie playing

Velvette confessed her feelings first, rambling the words and almost forgetting to breath, while Odette listened adoringly

Velvette's coffee addiction had been replaced by tea, and the text messages they exchanged were almost like love letters

Every time Velvette looked at her phone screen, a broad smile formed on her lips, and Odette suddenly spent so much more time on her phone that Clara became suspicious

Surprisingly, Odette's ability to sneak in and out of the house unseen improved, and occasionally Velvette would climb through the window of her room on the first floor at night and spend the night in her bed, gone by the next morning when Carmilla came to wake her daughter

One night, however, Odette and Velvette encountered her sister in the hallway as they were trying to sneak out together

Clara confronted her sister, and Odette confessed that she had fallen in love with Velvette

Clara did not trust Velvette, but Velvette made her sister happy, and she swore to keep the secret of their relationship, but the first time Carmilla had a strange suspicion about them was when Velvette, while sneaking out the Carmine mansion, accidentally dropped butt-naked from the balcony of Odettes room and right into the cake on the table in the garden, while she was enjoying teatime with Rosie and Zestial

“Sorry, but I fucked your daughter…” Velvette always thought her words were really eloquent.

“You… What?”

But Velvette was gone before Carmilla could clean the cake off of her face.

Carmilla and Odette did not spoke about this, but the next time Carmilla observed Velvette looking suspiciously around before taking Odette's hand and pulling her behind the next corner right before another Overlord meeting

Carmilla was already on her way to rescue her daughter from the clutches of the Vees' brat when Clara blocked her mother's path and bombarded her with questions to stall her, shouting so loudly that her sister and Velvette could hear her

By the time Carmilla turned the corner, Odette and Velvette had disappeared from sight

While the Overlord meeting was taking place, Odette and Velvette sat next to each other, their pinkies secretly intertwined under the table, while Carmilla did not take her eyes off her daughter and the Vees' brat during her presentation

Odette kicked Velvette under the table, trying desperately to stop her girlfriend as Velvette began to provoke Carmilla and Zestial, but Carmilla had already made the accusation in front of all Overlords that Velvette was a bad influence and should keep her hands off her daughter, promptly starting a fight between her and Velvette in front of everyone about Odette, with Carmilla despising Velvette

"I love Odette!" Velvette retorted. At first opportunity, she had jumped onto the table and positioned herself in front of Carmilla with hands on her hips, determined to defend their relationship.

"You brat are definitely not good enough for my daughter!" Carmilla countered angrily. She hadn't yet noticed how Odette had shrunken back into her chair and the rest of the Overlords had hastily left the room. Only Clara and Zestial remained, trying desperately to calm her down.

"Odette?" Velvette whispered uncertain, calling her girlfriend's name and looking at her for help. She wanted to hear from her that she disagreed with her mother, but Odette remained silent. "Shit…" cursed Velvette.

Velvette had lost her confidence

Carmillas sentence and Odettes silence hurt more than Velvette wanted to admit

Velvette quickly looked away as tears suddenly pricked in her eyes and she felt a stabbing pain in her heart, she swallowed sorrowfully, her sleeve wiping over her eyes again and again as if to chase away the tears, and she rubbed the painful spot in her chest in rising panic, Velvette couldn't show weakness in front of Carmilla

Instead, she bared her fangs and clenched her fists, spat one last insult at Carmilla, then stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind her

"Velvette!"

Before Odette could run after her girlfriend, she was held back by her mother, it would be better this way

"Love is for losers!" Valentino called after Velvette as she roughly pushed him aside and quickly disappeared into her room to hide her tears.

The following days were met with complete silence between Odette and Velvette; instead, the next extermination was looming

In her search for angelic weapons, Odette had been separated from her mother and sister; an exorcist chased her through the streets into the Vees' district and finally cornered her, as Odette screamed for her mother, her sister, or Velvette, hoping someone could hear her cries for help

She screamed in excruciating pain, and the exorcist laughed mockingly as the angelic spear pierced her shoulder, and Odette fell to the ground, left bleeding

The spear was still in her shoulder, and she laid unconscious in a puddle of her own blood when Velvette found Odette in the dark alley behind the Vees' tower

"Odette?" Velvette whispered with a voice choked by tears, her name trembling on her tongue. Gently, her hand brushed a sweaty strand from her pale face. "Please…" she begged.

"V-Velvette?" Odette's eyelids fluttered, and she looked at her girlfriend with a blurred vision.

"Y-Yes…" Velvette sobbed. "Don't worry, I'm here for you," she promised. "I will get help, I promise. You just have to do me the favor and stay awake, okay?"

"I'm sorry…" Odette groaned, her eyes rolled back into her skull, and her head fell unconscious on Velvette's shoulder, who had picked her up bridal style. Her blood ruined Velvette's favorite vest, but Velvette couldn't care less. She ran off with Odette in her arms.

Velvette brought Odette to the nearest hospital

Velvette waited patiently in the waiting room when Carmilla, accompanied by Clara, rushed in; Carmilla was so worried about her daughter that she initially didn't notice Velvette, instead, she wanted to know from an overwhelmed nurse what was with Odette

"She will survive…"

Velvette cleared her throat, not fond to interrupt a heated Carmilla

"What are you doing here?" Carmilla asked, her words spitting venom and her eyes narrowed into thin slits as she looked down on Velvette. "You should leave."

"No... I will stay with Odette…" Velvette crossed her arms in front of her chest and faced Carmilla full of confidence, not moving from her chair in the waiting room.

Time passed, and Carmilla and Velvette waited together in silence, while Clara had her head resting on her mother's lap and succumbed to sleep

It became night outside the windows

Velvette was terribly tired, she rubbed her eyes and suppressed a yawn, desperately fighting the urge to let her eyes rest and just let sleep take her, she was infinitely exhausted, but her concern for Odette was bigger, she groaned and let her skull bang against the wall behind her, hoping the pain would keep her awake

"You should sleep…" Carmilla whispered softly, while her hand gently combed through her daughter's hair, and her gaze lovingly rested on Clara. "I'll wake you up as soon as there are any news about Odette, I promise..."

But Velvette declined the offer, instead, she stood up and began pacing back and forth in the waiting room, the movement kept her awake

Carmilla sighed frustratedly at Velvette's stubbornness

"I'm sorry," Carmilla suddenly said.

"What?" Surprised, Velvette stopped and looked at her.

"I'm sorry…" Carmilla repeated her words. "I think I misjudged your intentions with Odette. I accused you of not being good enough for my daughter, out of fear that you were just taking advantage of her... I made a mistake and I want to sincerely apologize to you. My daughter is truly very happy with you, and I was too blind to see it. I'm sorry, Velvette…”

Once again speechless, Velvette stood in front of Carmilla Carmine, desperately trying to process her apology. “I… Uh…” she stuttered, dumbfounded. Velvette cleared her throat, regaining her composure. “Thank you,” she responded to Carmilla’s apology. “It's a mystery to me, but somehow, I've fallen in love with her... I'm not playing games with your daughter, I truly love Odette.” The fucking flush rising to Velvette’s cheeks was unstoppable, she cursed herself.

“I know…” Carmilla offered Velvette an encouraging smile.

Carmilla and Velvette reconciled

Odette woke up a few hours later, and they were finally allowed to enter her hospital room

Carmilla and Clara immediately enveloped Odette in a suffocating hug, while Velvette waited respectfully in the doorway, until finally Clara had to pry her sister from their mother’s arms and lead a tearful Carmilla out of the room, so the couple could be alone.

“Hey…” With discomfort in every cell of her body, Velvette stood in front of Odette’s bed.

“Hey,” Odette replied, avoiding Velvette’s gaze. “It looks like you made up with my mother?”

“Yes…” Velvette nodded, scratching the back of her head awkwardly. Could she still call Odette her girlfriend?

“I want to apologize to you.” Odette took Velvette’s hands in hers, intertwining their fingers and looking very serious at Velvette. “At the Overlord meeting, I should have been on your side; you’re my girlfriend, and I should have stood up against my mother to defend you. I shouldn’t have just sat there, so stupid and silent. I’m really sorry, can you forgive me?”

“Forgive and forget,” Velvette said quickly. Before the tears in her eyes could escape, she threw her arms around her girlfriend and buried her face in Odette’s shoulder.

Relieved, Odette pulled Velvette closer into her arms. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”
