Sinsmas: Cocoa Craziness

Summary:

Wanting to have a hot chocolate party with Stolas, Blitzo and the gang invite him over to bring ingredients to make the craziest hot chocolate concoctions they can come up with. But when excitable children have some extra sugary drinks, a sugar rush is bound to happen.

Notes:

This was too fun an idea not to try out. ;)

I can imagine Blitzo wanting to invite Stolas over to make some absolutely insane concoctions for hot chocolate that he'd love to participate in. And, being kids, they'd have their own ideas of what would taste good to them with Stolas watching in amusement since I imagine he doesn't have sugar that often.

Oh and don't worry about them after they had their sugary and messy drinks. They just had some belly-aches and sore teeth. Nothing serious.

I had to look up Barbie's drink ideas but in some cultures, adding spice and heat to hot chocolate is a think. So I could see experimenting with a lot of spices to give her drink an extra kick. For Fizz I definitely see him trying to be creative in how his drinks look so he'd pile on the marshmallows and peanut butter and gummy candies to make it look pretty before eating it. And Blitzo, since we know his tastes are weird, I'd see him trying to add all sorts of weird things to make it an interesting drinking experience like adding graham crackers and candy bars in the mugs.

I also had an idea that if you can make hot chocolate mixed with water and milk, why not eggnog? It's even creamier than milk so it would definitely be a unique thing to try. And naturally after trying their own drinks (three each), they'd try each other's before giving some to Stolas who was more than happy to make a smaller and normal-sized mug of hot chocolate. Since I don't see him as eating a lot of sweets, even as an adult, I could see him going absolutely mad on sugar.

Basically think of when Blitz, Barbie, and Moxxie got hit with heroine in episode 5 but not as scary. This is more wholesome and cute.

And I had to include Dante and Nyx in trying to help chase the kids down since I don't think Buckzo would be able to handle chasing four of them at once.

Chapter 1: Sugar Rush

Chapter Text

One of the best things about the holiday season, especially Sinsmas, was all the delicious treats that the kids could get their claws on. Candies, cookies, and most important of all; hot chocolate! It was practical that they had hot drinks to warm them up after working on practice in the tent or doing chores outside. Even if they couldn’t have many circus performances in winter due to snow dropping down, they still had to practice their asses off.

They didn’t want to get rusty after all.

But on days when they weren’t busy with circus work and chores were done, they had to come up with their own fun when they had the house to themselves. Fortunately, Stolas was bringing the supplies for all the fun they could have for a hot chocolate tasting party.

“Ah ya made it!” Blitzo grinned as he let his tiny owl friend inside.

“Yes! Mr. Butler helped pack a lot of different supplies I thought might taste good for you all.” Stolas replied, blushing when Blitzo brushed the snow from his feathers.

“This is gonna be fun!” Blitzo replied as he guided Stolas into the kitchen. “Mom and dad get the packets from the store sometimes and we’re lucky if they have the tiny marshmallows but with the stuff you brought, these are gonna taste great!”

“I’m happy to help!” Stolas replied as he started to pull out some supplies; candy sticks, cinnamon, vanilla, large marshmallows, whipped cream, sprinkles, pocky sticks, graham crackers, candy bars, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, strawberry syrup, fruity candies, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, sea salt, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, ginger, peppermint–it was like Bee’s sweets supplies was raided in the middle of the night.

“I think you grabbed this by mistake. Who would put spice in hot chocolate?” Fizz wondered, picking up the cayenne pepper container in confusion.

“Oh I requested that. I wanna give this a real kick! And when Blitzo was talkin’ to Millie over the phone, she said she used it all the time.” Barbie told the shorter imp.

“Seriously? I’d be happy with just marshmallows.” Fizz replied, hugging onto a bag of jumbo marshmallows.

“I’ve read that in some cultures, adding extra heat into hot chocolate is a fairly common thing. It can cut through the sweetness of the chocolate.” Stolas piped in.

“Well let’s get started!” Blitzo declared, holding up a bunch of mugs.

Since Stolas was the only one allowed of all of them to use the stove at home, he heated up water and milk for them. They even used a little bit of non-boozy eggnog to make some of their concoctions extra creamy. Stolas did have to admit he was curious to see what they were going to come up with since he hadn’t really heard of a hot chocolate party before. But any time spent with Blitzo and his siblings was perfectly fine in his book.

Plus he was secretly glad they were doing this at their house instead of the mansion. If his father saw the sticky and gooey mess they were going to make in the kitchen, he probably would’ve fainted.

Once the three mugs were heated up and the packets of hot chocolate were stirred in, they soon tore into the ingredients and began to make their treats. Fizz was making a tower of marshmallows and using marshmallow fluff to essentially glue them together before adding a bunch of sprinkles. He had a very artistic sort of flair and was using what he had to make an artistic masterpiece before he absolutely destroyed it. He then went to work on his next cup and used peanut butter.

Blitzo was going more messy with whipped cream and various syrups before dumping on a bunch of toppings. The mug he had where the mix had water he added caramel sauce, the mug with milk he added chocolate sauce, and the mug with eggnog mixed with the hot chocolate mix he put in strawberry syrup to cut through the richness of the nog. To decorate, he crushed up some graham crackers and candybars to add some crunchy texture.

Barbie was more focused on different flavors as she tried to put in peppermint in her mugs as well as shaking different spices in her mugs. She used whipped cream to help cool the spices but she was piling them on in different amounts. She also added pretzel sticks to add some saltiness to the sweet/spicy monstrosity she made.

“Eew. Mint? Seriously?” Blitzo grouced as he was trying to add a gummy worm onto his mug.

“What? People eat mint!” Barbie retorted.

“Yeah but not mixed with cayenne pepper ya weirdo!” the older twin retorted.

“Hmm…think I can borrow some gummy bears?” Fizz asked.

“Sure but you know you’re gonna have to brush your teeth a lot, right?” Blitzo reminded him, handing him the bag of candies.

“Pssh! It’ll be worth it!” Fizz grinned as he picked out the red and green bears to stick onto his marshmallow-y madness.

Stolas was stunned at how creative they were with their creations. He had made a simple mug with milk-based hot chocolate, some whipped cream, and a dash of cinnamon. He didn’t have too many sweet things at home and was only really allowed a small amount. Though he didn’t understand why.

Soon enough, all their hot chocolate monstrosities were complete. Fizz’s were piled high with various colorful decorations of sprinkles and gummy candies sticking onto his marshmallow mountains. Blitzo’s were absolutely sticky but there were a lot of different textures to them so he wouldn’t get bored drinking them. Barbie’s definitely looked…unique with the spices she added to add a little kick to her drinks.

“Oh my Lucifer!” Stolas gasped in awe.

“Think Beelzebub would be proud?” Blitzo grinned proudly.

“I think she’d be very impressed.” Stolas nodded, taking a magic photo to show Princess Charlotte later. “So…how are you going to drink all of those?” he wondered.

“Oh…I was kinda hoping I’d get to keep them up.” Fizz blushed.

“Aw come on, Fizzy. The best part of making hot chocolate is drinking them.” Barbie reasoned, picking up her spice-filled mug. “Let’s see what madness we have unleashed!”

Fizz and Blitzo grinned as they picked up their mugs, all three imps laughing maniacally before taking sips from their drinks. Thankfully while they were decorating the drinks, they cooled down enough to drink without burning their mouths off. Though in Barbie’s case, she definitely felt the heat from the spices.

“Hot hot hot!” Barbie yelped, taking some whipped cream to spray in her mouth to cool the heat. Once the burn was cooled, she looked at her brother and friends with a sheepish smile. “I think I did it wrong…” she blushed.

“I told you it was too weird!” Blitzo scolded, his face covered in sticky syrups.

“Yah! Toof weirf!” Fizz nodded, his face stuffed with marshmallows and gummy bears.

Once they had sips of their own drinks, they tried each other’s mugs of madness. Blitzo and Fizz agreed that Barbie’s drinks were the worst since she didn’t know how to balance spices very well. And she had to agree. If she ever saw Millie again, she’d have to ask her how she did it without burning her face off.

Fizz’s were delicious but it was hard to talk with all the marshmallows, peanut butter, and gummies that he used. He went a little crazy on decorating so it was hard to actually drink his drinks. If he tried this again, he would have to tone it down slightly.

Blitzo’s were probably the easiest to drink but the textures he wanted to have weren’t as crunchy as he had hoped. The graham crackers and candy bars he crushed in there were a mushy mess. If he was going to try it again, he’d add them last so they’d still be crunchy. But the syrups were a nice change of pace in terms of flavor profile.

“Stolas, is that all you’re having?” Blitzo blinked, seeing Stolas’s regular cup.

“Oh yes. I don’t normally have that much sugar at home so this is all I made.” Stolas told them.

“Aww it’s the holidays. Live a little!” Fizz told him.

“Yeah, maybe you’ll like my spice brew!” Barbie added.

“There’s only a little bit left in the mugs. It couldn’t hurt.” Blitzo told his friend.

Stolas did have to admit he was curious how all of their drinks tasted. Maybe if he tried them, he could help them make more yummy drinks in the future. And it was the holidays so he could let loose a little bit.

“Sure! I’ll try them!” Stolas nodded, taking sips from the nine mugs that they used after finishing his own. In his opinion, Barbie’s drinks had potential to be really unique but she overdid it a little bit. Fizz’s were tasty but a little hard to actually drink with all the sticky ingredients sort of globbing into the mugs. Blitzo’s were the easiest to drink but the mushiness of the candy bars was a little off-putting to try and eat.

“So what’d ya think?” Blitzo wondered.

“I definitely want to try making my own drink sometime and–uh…” Stolas droned, feeling his pupils begin to dilate.

“Uh guys? Is the room shaking or is it just me?” Fizz blinked rapidly, his tail swishing quickly behind him.

“I-I-I-I’m f-f-f-feeling it too!” Barbie gasped.

“G-G-Guys! I think we’re in a–” Blitzo started before his pupils went wide.

“SUGAR RUSH!” they screamed, quickly grabbing their coats and running outside, laughing wildly as they went to burn off their energy.

Tilla, who had just returned from practice in the tent, came in from the backdoor and saw the mess the kids left behind and sighed. “Oh dear…not again.” she sighed as her husband stepped into the kitchen.

“Ugh, what are those lunatics up to now?” Buckzo yawned, having just woken up from a nap. He gasped as he saw the sticky mess the kids left behind. “The fuck did they do?!”

“Apparently raid a candy store.“ Tilla joked, sniffing at one of Barbie’s mugs. “Oh that’s spicy!” she coughed.

Buckzo picked up one of the mugs Blitzo used that had eggnog in it. He took a sip before spitting it out. “BLECH! I feel like my teeth are gonna fall out!” he groaned, downing some water to try and clean his teeth as best he could.

The two parents looked at the sticky globs in Fizz’s mugs before shaking their heads. They couldn’t argue that they weren’t creative. Only little kids would come up with absolutely mad drinks like this. It was honestly pretty impressive.

“So…they’re going to have to clean up this mess themselves right?” Tilla guessed.

“Oh you bet your sweet ass they are.” Buckzo nodded solemnly.

The two parents were silent for a moment before bursting out laughing. If the kids were going to go mad creating a mess, they were definitely going to have to clean up after themselves. Though what really made them laugh was how absolutely crazy those kids were going to be when hopped up on sugar. They could be really funny when they were running around like mad cats.

Though they had to wonder…was Stolas like that when he got hopped up on sweets?

“WOO! FUCK YEAH!” They heard the kids cheer as they were running around outside.

“I’ll go call King Paimon.” Tilla decided.

“I’ll try to wrangle the knuckleheads.” Buckzo told her, slipping on a coat to see if he could catch them before they crashed.

(...)

Buckzo had to call in assistance from Nyx and Dante to try and catch the kids since even he knew they’d be impossible to catch with just him. “Try to catch the little monsters before they hurt themselves, okay?” Buckzo told his trusted employees.

“You got it boss.” Nyx nodded.

“Mixing sugar with those kids is a terrible idea.” Dante sighed.

“Why do ya think I have a lock on the pantry? Chasin’ after these goons can be so fuckin’ exhausting.” Buckzo snarked.

The three older imps soon started to chase after the kids, surprised at how fast they were. They were athletic, sure, but sugar combined with their natural child energy made them a force to be reckoned with.

Dante quickly ran to shut the gates of the circus grounds so they wouldn’t run out into the streets. He had barely managed to lock it when Fizz came zooming back, laughing like an absolute maniac.

“H-Hey get back here!” Dante called, chasing after the smaller imp. Fizz turned back as he was running, grinning as he started to run backwards so he could talk to him.

“Oh-hi-Mr.-Dante! You-wanna-play-tag? You’re-it! Catch-me-if-ya-can!” Fizz rambled, turning himself around so he could run faster.

Dante blinked in shock at how Fizz was able to do that before shaking his head. He knew the imp boy had a lot of energy but this was just ridiculous. “I don’t get paid enough for this…” he groaned.

Nyx, meanwhile, was able to corner Barbie on the training grounds that they’d practice on sometimes but she was in shock at how fast she was able to run through the course multiple times.

“Hey-Ms.-Nyx! Over-here! Look-at-me!” Barbie waved rapidly as she started to spin super fast on the rings.

“Um Barbie? Sweetie? Maybe you could try coming down?” Nyx tried.

“Aw-but-this-is-fun! Look-at-how-fast-I-am! WHEEEEE!” Barbie cheered as she launched herself into the air, landing in a pile of snow before scampering out and going through the whole course again.

Nyx was in shock that the little one had so much energy. If her and Dante ever had kids, they’d try to keep them off sugar. Or at the very least, make sure they didn’t turn into little tornados if they did eat anything sweet.

Buckzo was having a hard time keeping up with Blitzo and Stolas. For having short little legs, they could move pretty fast. “H-Hold still dammit!” Buckzo called, wondering when the hell the crash would come. It couldn’t last forever, right? How much sugary crap was in those mugs?

“Can’t-catch-us! Can’t-catch-us! NYEH!” Blitzo taunted, pulling down his eyelid and sticking his tongue out.

Buckzo growled as he tried to move faster; he was gonna get it when he got his claws on him. He was even more surprised at how hyper Stolas was. He knew the kid was quiet and shy so seeing him move around like a feathery ping-pong ball was really weird. Though now he wished he was recording this whole mess.

“I-haven’t-had-this-much-fun-in-ages!” Stolas rambled, hooting wildly as Blitzo laughed.

“That’s-the-spirit! I-told-ya-you-would–” Blitzo suddenly stopped, the sugar crash taking a hold of him as he face planted in the snow. Stolas turned to see if his friend was alright before the crash took a hold of him too, the owl prince landing on top of Blitzo as he fell forward as well.

Buckzo managed to catch up with the two boys, panting heavily as he caught his breath. “Thank fucking Lucifer that’s over.” He moaned, stretching his back a bit as he looked over the scene. The little nutballs almost looked cute conked out like that. He then looked up and couldn’t help but snicker at his employees dragging a sleeping Barbie and Fizz over like sacks of potatoes. “So they finally hit the crash?” he guessed.

“I am impressed…yet terrified at how much energy these kids have.” Dante confessed, looking down at a snoring Fizz.

“She actually fell asleep in the air before landing in the snow.” Nyx told her boss, brushing snow off of Barbie’s snoozing face.

Paimon soon arrived by portal as Tilla went to greet the royal. “Well…at least he isn’t a mess.” Paimon sighed as he scooped his boy up. “I’ll need to talk with him about his sweets intake when he wakes up.”

“Eh kids’ll act crazy on sugar all the time.” Buckzo shrugged.

“Yes but a sugar-crazed child that can use magic is a dangerous combination. I’m just thankful he didn’t have his book with him.” Paimon told him, taking Stolas’s bag from Tilla before nodding at the group. “Thank you for making sure he was safe. I’ll take it from here.” he told them.

With a quick bow, he left the group alone.

This left Tilla to take Barbie and Fizz in her arms while Buckzo scooped Blitzo onto his shoulder. “Should we wake them up?” Tilla asked quietly as Nyx and Dante went back to where the other circus freaks were staying.

“Mm…nah. Let ‘em sleep this off. They’re gonna have massive sugar headaches when they wake up anyway.” He told her before grinning mischievously. “Besides, they’ll have a shit-ton of cleanin’ to do when they get up.”

Chapter 2: Sugar Crash

Summary:

The aftermath of a sugar crash is never pretty.

Notes:

Thanks to AnimeToonzFoever for the idea of continuing this a bit.

I think Stolas, since he can't really puke up the sugary toxic sludge in his tummy since birds can't do that, he would just need some soothing tea to try and at least settle his stomach so it will pass naturally later. Paimon I think would be more amused at his son's antics than anything but he still doesn't want him making himself sick. And gently chiding Mr. Butler for indulging him is fairly understandable. Mr. Butler is NOT in trouble but he'll definitely need to keep the king in the loop more.

As for the trio, I think one of them was bound to puke and Barbie's mixture of weird spices mixed with sweets in her drinks definitely made her a prime candidate to projectile vomit since I've had that happen after eating too much chocolate at a chocolate festival once. ^_^'

Thankfully Buckzo was able to scoop her up and get her outside and faced away from him so she didn't puke on his clothes. I think with as much booze as he drinks, he'd be experienced enough by now to know when someone's about to pop and to take them somewhere where they won't get puke on anything important.

They kinda learned their lesson about not going too overindulgent next time but it's going to be a LONG while before they have hot chocolate again with anything other than a few marshmallows and whipped cream.

Chapter Text

“Here you are Master Stolas.” Mr. Butler greeted as he gave the young owl prince a cup of peppermint tea.

“Thank you, Mr. Butler…” Stolas replied woozily as he carefully took the cup.

“This should be a good lesson to you not to overindulge yourself in such a manner.” Paimon gently chided, rubbing his boy’s back to help him feel better.

“They were only a few sips…” Stolas pouted, making his father laugh a bit.

“Regardless, you need to be careful when trying different things.” Paimon told his son before looking knowingly at his butler. “And run your little shopping list through me before sending him off with that junk, alright?”

“I will remember that in the future, sire.” Mr. Butler bowed before looking at the young owl. “Were you able to have fun?”

“Oh yes! They all greatly appreciated everything we brought and–oh…I think I moved too fast.” Stolas moaned, holding his stomach as he curled up onto his bed.

“Just try to rest and let your stomach settle for now.” the owl king told his son before smirking to himself. “Truth be told, I think you’ll be feeling much better faster than your friends.”

“What do you mean, father?” the prince blinked as he slowly sipped his tea.

“If what the little messes the imp children made from your magic photograph are anything to go by, they’re going to be regretting their little misadventure for a while.” Paimon chuckled.

Stolas smiled weakly before looking to Mr. Butler. “Thank you for helping me. I know it’s not usual during the Sinsmas season but…it was fun for me.” Stolas told him tiredly.

“I am glad you had a good time, Master Stolas.” the butler bowed with a small smile.

Paimon shook his head with a smile as he watched over his son. He wasn’t really upset with his boy and butler conspiring to have a sugary mess of fun over at that Blitzo boy’s place. Stolas needed to do something nice during the holidays so if getting a stomach ache was a small price to pay, it wasn’t the worst thing he could’ve been doing.

He thanked his lucky stars that they didn’t suggest having their little gathering at the mansion; he would’ve been mortified if that sticky and sugary mess was in his own home. He had no idea how Lucifer was able to handle the mess Queen Beelzebub had made in the Morningstar abode…though if he was being fair, that was more Mammon’s fault.

Mr. Butler left the two owls alone, wanting to get started on a light dinner for Stolas that evening once his stomach had settled.

(...)

“Ugh…my head…” Blitzo groaned as he slowly got up from the couch. He blearily looked and saw Barbie and Fizz were clutching their stomachs on the floor, having rolled off the couch in their sugar induced coma. “Guys…you good?”

“I feel like I got hit by a bus…” Fizz moaned, rolling onto his back.

“My head hurts…” Barbie whined.

“Well look what the hellcat dragged in.” Buckzo teased as he moved into the living room where his kids were trying to recover. “Hope the little sugar rush ya had was worth it.”

“Daddy…my face is sore…” Barbie moaned.

“Well no shit, ya dingdong. You practically drank your weight in sugar.” Buckzo scolded. “You knuckleheads need to get upstairs and brush your teeth so we don’t end up payin’ out the ass for cavities.”

“Yes sir…” Blitzo, Barbie, and Fizz sighed, slowly standing up.

“And when you’re done, you’re cleanin’ up the mess ya made.” He told them.

The kids grumbled as they moved up the stairs but Barbie stopped, getting a weird feeling in her tummy. “Dad…I’m gonna–” she tried before holding a hand over her mouth.

“Aw shit!” He cursed, scooping her up and running outside to save the floors from getting puked on. “I gotcha kiddo!”

The two boys winced as they heard her projectile vomit out onto the ground outside. They were relieved that Buckzo was quick enough to act so Barbie could puke in peace. There was no way that she would’ve made it to the bathroom in time. And there’d be more of a mess to clean up anyway.

“Poor Barbie…” Fizz sighed.

“Spice was a terrible idea.” Blitzo shrugged as they moved up the stairs.

The two boys moved into the bathroom and rinsed their mouths out first to get any sugary residue off their teeth. Brushing their teeth sucked but going to the dentist in Hell was much worse. Blitzo and Fizz practically globbed toothpaste onto their toothbrushes before brushing the crap out of their teeth.

“Next time, I think I’m gonna skip the gummy candies. It…kinda made my hot chocolate taste weird.” Fizz admitted.

“I hear ya buddy. And if I’m gonna add crunchy stuff, I’m gonna wait until the last minute so I don’t get mush.” Blitzo nodded in agreement.

Barbie slowly trudged into the bathroom, wiping her face as she rinsed her mouth out. Once she cleared the bile taste from her tongue, she turned blearily to the boys. “I think I’m gonna be off sugar for a while…” she groaned.

“How about spice?” Fizz piped in.

Barbie retched a bit before swallowing it back down, giving him a weak glare. “Don’t even mention that around me right now or I’ll puke on you.” she warned.

“At least it was from the front end and not the back.” Blitzo reminded her. “Fire shits would really suck.”

“Point taken…still think your friend Millie is nuts.” Barbie snarked as she started to brush her teeth.

Tilla peeked her head in the bathroom, glad to see the kids have recovered. “How’re you all holding up?” she wondered.

“Barbie puked in the yard.” Blitzo told his mom, wincing when his sister elbowed him in the ribs.

“Yeah I heard about that…you feeling better sweetie?” she asked gently.

“Weirdly, I do.” Barbie admitted, turning to her mom as she brushed her fangs. “It sucked when I was throwing up but getting all that stuff out of me made me feel a lot better.”

“Glad you learned your lesson. And maybe let us help you when you want to have a hot chocolate party.” Tilla suggested.

“We’ll keep that in mind Miss Tilla.” Fizz promised, giggling when she patted his head.

Once the kids were all cleaned up and their fangs were brushed to the best of their ability, before their cleaning appointment in a few months, they moved back downstairs to see the mess they had made still there. Open containers of decorative candies and marshmallows strewn about, sticky cups with sweet sugary syrups hardening, and globs of whatever they didn’t finish slowly becoming cement.

It really was as if Beelzebub had a bad bender in their home.

Buckzo grinned as he handed them scrubby sponges, dish soap, and mops before gesturing into the kitchen. “If I were you three, I’d get started,” he advised.

The three imp children looked at each other before letting out a loud groan. This was going to be a long night of cleaning.
