Angeldust went downstairs with fat Nuggets in his arms. He set the pig down on the ground and immediately Fat Nuggets went behind the bar.
"Nuggs!" Angel called.
Husk shrugged it off and lifted the pig.
"Hey buddy." Husk greeted patting Fat Nuggets head.
"Piggy?!" Claire gasped as she made her way into the lobby from the kitchen.
"You don't seem like an animal person." Claire mentioned to Husk as he sat at the bar.
"I ain't, but they're a package deal." Husk stated placing his finger under Angel's chin.
Husk put Nuggets down on the floor again and he immediately wandered to Claire.
She seemed to look at Angel for permission before lifting the pig.
"He loves the attention. I'd let him out of my room more often but, a certain cannibal called him a raw pork chop and if he lays finger and my son he's losing his head." Angeldust admitted.
Husk poured Angel his usual, and turned to Claire.
"What'll it be?" He asked.
"Club soda is fine. Thanks." The freezing demon stated.
Husk nodded and set a 20oz bottle of seltzer in front of her.
Leith made his way downstairs.
"Has anyone seen Charlie?" He wondered.
Vaggy came out of the kitchen with a cookie Charlie made the other day.
"Her father called her to the castle to start teaching her how to use her powers. She spent her whole life afraid of them but, he wants her to at least know what's she's capable of, and use those powers however she chooses." She explained.
"We have cookies?!" Angeldust asked taking a sip of his drink and running into.the kitchen.
Fat Nuggets made some noises as Angel left he jumped out of Claire's arms as she tried to set him down. He ran over to Vaggy.
Angel came back into the lobby eating a cookie. He sat at the bar and sipped his drink. He finished it.
"Vaggy could you watch him for a little bit?" He wondered.
She raised an eyebrow.
"I need a cig." He explained. Vaggy nodded and Angel went outside.
Husk looked over at Vaggy pointing to the door with his thumb. She just nodded.
Angel and Husk sat on a bench outside. Angel took his pack of cigarettes out of his pocket as Husk did the same.
"You okay?" Husk asked with a cigarette between his lips before he lit it and took a long drag before blowing out the smoke.
Angeldust nodded.
"Yeah. Not looking forward to tomorreh but, I needed dis." He stated after taking a drag himself
Husk wrapped an arm around Angel's shoulders, since when Angel is sitting is the only time he really can reach Angel's shoulders. He turned his face blowing out the smoke away from Angel before turning back to face him.
"I kinda worried when ya said you weren't going too. I get it and I'm glad I can spend time with you but you getting hur-"
Angel chuckled, he took another drag french inhaling it through his mouth, letting the smoke escape and immediately breathing it back in through his nose.
"He ain't gonna hurt me dis time. I've been playing dis game a while Husky, I got it."
Husk exhaled another drag.
"Why does that worry me more?" He asked.
Because it should. Is what Angel thought.
"Cause you worry too much, I'll be fine." Is what he said.
Husk didn't believe that though, but he left it be. The two finished their cigarette and went back into the hotel.
Husk went back behind the bar. Fat Nuggets was now snuggled up with Leith on the couch stealing belly rubs.
"I swear to God if you eat h-" Angel's voice softened realizing the cannibywas just petting the pig.
Leith laughed.
"I already said, my food sources are incredibly specific. Unless this lil guy is secretly a menace to society, he's fine. Don't let him near Alastor tho."
Angel nodded.
He lifted his pet before going back up to his room.
Husk sat at the bar chit chatting with the patrons at the bar.
"So you were on the Titanic? Did ya go down with the ship?" He wondered.
"Nah I was gonna die anyway so I jumped." She admitted.
Husk took a swig of his booze and nodded. It made sense. It was a honorable death in the military, if you risk being captured or getting killed. Her situation might not have been as extreme as that but, he understands wanting to have some control over how she died.
"What bout you wolverine?" Husk asked looking over at Leith who still sat on the couch.
"How I died? Shot, executioner style." Leith stated moviyhis hair a bit to reveal an x on his forehead.
Husk wasn't surprised, he just downed another swig of his booze.
"I went on a psychopathic murder spree after my sister's murder. They say if ya kill a murderer the sinner of murders stays the same. That's why ya kill em all." Leith stated.
"Well that's dark." Claire stated. She took a sip of her seltzer.
"Yeah and so is being stalked by a psycho ex not saying shit a bout it. I don't get told til after her funeral, by her friend." Leith stated.
"Shit." Was all Husk said before taking another swig.
They all continued chatting, until Husk's watch beeped hours later. He left the bar Alastor took over.
The gambler, waited for the elevator and walked in once the door opened. He took it to the second floor and walked to Angel's room. The door was partially open but, he knocked anyway.
Angel was sitting on his bed with a baggie next to him and a couple lines of his favorite poison lined up on a metal tray.
He glanced at the picture of him and his boyfriend from his time alive.
He heard the knock looked at his drugs and sighed putting the tray carefully in the drawer of his nightstand so it didn't spill and also put the baggie of PCP in there to.
He walked over to the door and opened it. Immediately a smile pulled at his lips.
"Hey Scnookums." He greeted moving to the side to let Husk into his room.
"Hey Webs." Husk greeted as he walked into Angel's room and sat on his bed. He sounded upset.
Angel raised an eyebrow.
"Ya good?" He wondered as he walked over to the cat demon.
Husk nodded.
"Just drained. I fuckin hate Al for making me have to deal with people all day."
Angel half frowned, he wrapped his top arms wrapped around the cat's neck and his lower ones around Husk's back, as he sat on Husk's lap.
The cat demon wrapped his arms around Angel and rested his head on his chest floof sighing contently.
"Ti amo." Angel stated while ruffling Husk's fur.
Husk purred.
"I love you too." He assured.
He lifted his head and tilted it up towards Angel, who met him half way. They shared just a small kiss.
