Chapter Text
Nathan decided to give Abaddon a bath because he was dirty. When Abaddon realized what he was trying to do, he started trying to get out but Nathan held tight yet gently.
“Come on, bud.. I thought you were calm enough for this.” Nathan says as Abaddon continues to try to escape his grip. His eyes were the red when he’s mad or frustrated but all Nathan saw was fear. Abaddon was shaking.. badly.
Nathan finally manages to put him in the bath and he bathes him. “Why are you being so difficult right now, Abaddon?” Nathan lets a frustrated sigh
“LET ME GO YOU MORTAL!!” Abaddon hisses. Nathan facepalms.

After showering and putting on some hand-me downs, Abaddon sits on the couch. He was sitting next to Katherine.
He was shaking. Katherine sighs before asking something. “Abaddon… can we talk?” Abaddon looks over at her. He thinks before nodding. Katherine takes a deep breath before speaking.
“Look, I know you probably hate me for.. you know.. the stuff I did. Locking you up, the backstory stuff- all that. I want to apologize.”
She starts to talk about everything she has done to him in the past. “I mean… I don’t mind you call me-“ She’s cut off by Abaddon.
“Yes. I shall accept your apology… and tell you more about my backstory” Abaddon looks down as he hesitates. Katherine smiles a bit, a small “go ahead” kind of smile.
Abaddon takes a deep breath too. “Well, it’s maybe quite a lot for you mortals..”
“Take your time Abaddon
“Once, when I was hell back then, I had a… wife. I was forced into a marriage with her although I didn’t want to. I had no attraction to her, I had attraction to nobody actually.” He starts.
“Due to me having no attraction, I never wanted to do anything with and/or to her. So, you may ask, what shall she do? Leave me alone? Correct? Well, that’s not what she thought. She did many things to me…”
“It’s not always people hear about women doing things like.. rape and abuse and.. stuff. To a man? I guess the man wanted it, I suppose. But that is never right.”
“These bad things all caused me to do bad coping mechanisms such as drinking and self harm. I knew it was wrong for me but those things were quite to cause addictions. I loved the feeling.”
“My mother in law was no better. Relapse after relapse, suicide after suicide and nothing got better. Once I possessed this vessel, I felt free until that.. priest bound me to it.”
“I thought, ‘since I have a human body, I shall be able to die.. right?’ Wrong yet again. That’s once I found out I was also immortal. Such a shame..”
Abaddon continues a bit, making Katherine’s expression darken a bit more with every bad thing. “I’m so sorry, Abaddon.. i should’ve took you more seriously before.” She says before giving him a hug.
He tries pulling away for a few seconds before just hugging back after realizing how much he needed that hug. He lets a few tears fall down his face
Nathan, who was by the doorframe/entrance of the living room, smiles before phasing through the wall and walking away.

(TW for suicide )
It was night, everyone was sleeping. Abaddon walks down the hallway, his hand against the wall as he walked. Will exits and stares at him. “Uh oh.. that’s not a good expression you have on, Abaddon.. the last you had that is when you.. you know… tried to kill yourself..”
“You’re not thinking about doing that.. right?” Abaddon stayed quiet. He walks around the hotel, grabbing something— a rope. Will immediately knows what he is going to do. “NO. Abaddon.. come on..”
Abaddon walks into the basement, finds an old chair and hangs up the rope on the fan. “WAIT! Abaddon… let’s not.. you know… try to fricking DIE?! I mean.. you have people who care about you like-“
Abaddon doesn’t listen and does it anyways— he kicks the chair too. Will panics and struggles before taking control of the body. He chokes a bit, not being able to breathe due to the rope. He starts making movement which makes him break rope and fall onto the ground.
It makes a loud noise. Will gasps for air, his vision getting quite blurry and things. Due to how long the rope was on his neck, it makes a mark.
Nathan rushes down quickly due to how loud it was. He runs to ‘Abaddon’ and helps him sit up. “Abaddon? Are you okay?” He says
“Not… *cough* Abaddon..” Will manages to say. “Right… uhh.. ghost… thing? Abaddon’s vessel thingy? Are you okay?” Nathan says and Will shakes his head.
Nathan notices the rope— or whatever’s left of it and he realizes. “oh.”
