Game On!

Part Three: Drinking In The Dark

"Oh, fuck my life..." These words came out of Husk's mouth in a low growl as his eyes rolled. He then immediately took a long drought out of the cheap bottle of booze in his hand, his yellow eyes never shutting, keeping a watchful eye on a familiar tall, skinny figure sashaying in his direction. This was the last being next to Alastor, of course, he wanted to see and for once it was early in the morning. Too early in the day compared to when the flirty floozy of a spider would come bothering him. He didn't know if he was drunk enough to handle him at this time but they would soon find out.

"Hey there handsome, room for two?" Angel fluttered his eyelashes playfully as he leaned one long thin arm with an elbow long pink glove on the counter of the empty bar.

"Don't you have someone else to annoy?" Husk uttered in a deadpan tone.

"Uh... Nope. I'm all yours baby." Angel flashed him a wide toothy grin. This was true, it was far too early in the day, Valentino's would be shut and this was actually one of his rare nights off so he wasn't even due down the club later. The demon cat didn't know it yet but they had all day together..

"Don't call me that. Ever." Husk recoiled, glaring hard towards the pretty, effeminate spider. Nope. He was definitely not drunk enough for this shit. The demon cat proceeded to take another long drought of the cheap but strong booze trying to remedy this quickly.

"Whatever you say sugar whiskers.." Angel cooed in a sultry voice, complete with pouty look and winking sexily.

"Urh... Fuck me.." Husk uttered thoughtlessly with a heavy sigh before he realised he had said that out loud and his yellow eyes with black sclera widened.

"Oh. I'd like to but your not an easy man to pin down.." Angel purred crossing one long purple booted leg casually over the other and leaning back in his seat. "But that's ok, I like a challenge.."

"It's not happening. Period. Now quit harassin' me with this shit!" Husk snarled losing his cool, his long red and white wings revealing playing card-like symbols actually opening up in a threat posture as he made a low growling pissed off cat noise.

"Ooo.. Your a fighter.." Angel looked far from intimidated, instead he actually looked somewhat excited, aroused by the prospect of being roughed up. "You'll succumb to me eventually, everyone always does.."

"Not me.." Husk retorted with an unimpressed look, folding both arms across his chest and closing his wings huffily.

"Will ya get me a drink at least? This is a bar, ain't it?" The spider demon retorted, a little irritated he didn't actually have a drink to hand yet.

"Sure, now you asked for one.." A wry grin curved Husk's white furred face and he poured Angel a glass out of the bottle he had been drinking out of and pushed it to him.

This made the pale pink spider demon narrow his odd sclera eyes.

"Again with this?" He griped though his pink gloved fingers still curved neatly around the glass and he lifted it, letting it hover halfway to his lips.

"S'not my fault you keep failing to name a drink." Hunk replied then took a swing out of the bottle as Angel took a large mouthful of the booze. The spider demon coughed a little as he struggled to swallow, the liquid burned down his throat.

"What is this shit anyway, tastes like it should be a biofuel or somethin'.." He then smacked his lips still feeling the tingle in his mouth, this stuff was definitely a lot stronger than the stuff he would usually consider daytime alcoholic beverages. It tasted a bit like paint thinner masquerading as alcohol but it gave him an instant buzz which he had to admit he liked..

"You weren't complainin' last night.."

"Eh. I was probably fucked out my skull on somethin' I snorted earlier in the night. You got anythin' with less punch, I need to water this down before drinkin' it neat.."

"Pfft.. Fuckin' lightweight.." Husk responded but made him a fruity cocktail regardless. He watched with a numb expression as the effeminate spider seemed pleased to finally get his 'usual' from the demon behind the bar and sipped it contentedly. This didn't stop the odd-sclera eyed spider demon from smacking Husk's large furry clawed hand away when he made to take the other drink away.

"What was that for!" Husk snapped irritably.

"I'm going to finish that. It came from you.." The spider demon uttered pulling the glass towards him as if it was a cherished item.

"Suit yourself. Probably has spit in it.." The grey, black and red cat demon muttered not really caring.

"Yeh, your spit sugar lips.." Angel grinned.

"I hate you..." Husk grumped watching with narrowed eyes as Angel switched his drinks with every sip.

"Love ya too kitty." The effect was immediate as Husk grabbed Angel with both clawed hands either side of his face, looking like he would crush his skull.

"Don't ever call me that again!" Husk snarled spit flying in his face. "I'm not cute! I'm not cuddly! And I don't purr on cue!"

"Oh.... Husker..." The voice of the one being who irritated him more that the spider in his clutches. Immediately those yellow eyes turned as his head moved to see the smiling Radio Demon standing in the doorway looking creepy. "It's hardly a show of good customer service to manhandle our patrons, now? Is it?" His eyes narrowed as a staticky sound emitted from him.

"No, no.. It's ok daddy. He can manhandle me all he wants.." Angel responded with a smirk before the effeminate pale pink spider blew Husker a kiss adding in a low throaty purr that he knew only the hulking cat demon would hear, "Anyone ever tell you your hot as shit when your pissed off.."

"Eurgh!" Husk instantly dropped the well-known pornstar in disgust so he dropped back in his seat.

"Riiiiight....." for a split second Alastor looked like he did not know how to responded before his unhinge smile returned. "Now Angel we both know it's highly improbable that I am your patriarch in the parental sense of the word. I just thought I would check in and make sure you two are getting along swimmingly before my meeting with my fair lady cohorts.."

"Oh yeh, we're gettin' on like a house on fire!" Angel grinned back widely as he stretched along the bar. Husk merely rolled his eyes and lifted his booze bottle to his lips, finishing his bottle in two chugs before immediately opening another and chugging some more.

"Wonderful." Alastor beamed widely. "And don't forget....." His smile actually vanished and the room seemed to swim with static energy. His red eyes glowing bright. "Play... Nice."

"The fuck is his problem?" Angel asked casually  as he took a sip of his fruity cocktail watching the Radio Demon suddenly walk away humming the tune of 'Bringing in the Sheep' as he disappeared.

"Do yourself a favour. Quit tryin' to piss him off. That's not a side you wanna see.." Husk drawled finally ready to stop chugging on the liquor bottle, for now.

"Awww, Husky... You do care!" The spider demon clasped both sets of his hands together looking as if he wanted to swoon.

"The hell I do.." The cat demon growled. "Just feel you need fair warnin' is all.. Alastor is only nice t'ya as long as he finds ya entertainin'.. Gotit dummy? You don't fuck with this guy.."

"Why not?" Angel asked looking curious as he took a sip out of the half empty glass of hard liquor he had gotten first.

"Look, I dunno if the rumours are true and I don't care to find out but folk don't only go missing with this guy.. And for the love of all things unholy stop insultin' his mom, there's only gonna be so many times you can get away with that before he snaps.."

Angel Dust couldn't help but grin, the furry black and white cat demon opposite him seemed pretty serious about all this.

"Ok, fine. I will stop insultin' his ma.. for you.." The spider demon replied cheerily and this made Husker facepalm, dragging his clawed fingers down it slowly in some aggravation.

"I really wish you didn't add that last part.."
