Secrets & Lies

Bonus Part 3♠️♣️🃏: 1) Sickness

The day had started out in much the same fashion for Husk. His usual morning hangover was back chipping away at his sanity like the ever present reminder it was that he hated being sober. Of course, he made the slight error of letting out a muffled grunt of pain which ultimately made his effeminate boyfriend who was still lying next to him start fussing over him, uttering inanely cooing words like 'poor baby' and petting him softly. It wasn't that he didn't like it when Angel Dust fussed over him because he did but when he was hungover the last thing he wanted was his effeminate boyfriend's long limbs wrapped around him, holding him fast so he could rain soft kisses on his head. He might've liked it better if the youthful pink spider just left it at that but unfortunately Angel always seemed to have this strange view that sex was the answer to every problem and often took things way too far when deep down his older partner wasn't even close to being in the mood.

That's what happened this morning.

What started off as Angel cooing over his hungover man and offering to kiss everything better turned into the youthful spider demon trying to frisk him and give him small love bites which only irritated the older cat demon with wings making him try to wriggle out of the attention resulting in him accidentally getting bit.

"Fuck!!" Husk had cried out in shock more than actual pain, not that it didn't hurt, and shoved his partner off him.

"Oh. Shit! Shit!" Angel had immediately backed off looking anxious knowing already that he carried venom under his main front fangs. "Ya ok mi amore? I didn't mean t'bite ya that hard." His tone remained worried as he didn't know if he had actually injected his man or not. The acidic taste of his poison was in his mouth but that was no guarantee that it hadn't got him.

"I'm fine.. I think. You mighta just grazed me." Husk exhaled heavily groaning as his hangover pounded his head more insistently. Ignoring the huge migraine-like symptoms the cat demon had gotten out of bed.

"Ya sure? Maybe ya should call in sick, just t'be safe. I'll play nurse if ya do.." The effeminate spider replied, his eyes lit up at the prospect of the chance at role-play which was a favourite pastime of his and he was sure he had a nurse outfit somewhere in his massive wardrobe he hadn't worn in a long time.

"Oh hell no! I am not drunk enough for that shit. I'm going to work.." There was a fleeting look of dread at the mental image of the kind of role-play the youthful spider demon had in mind before it melted back into his usual apathetic look and he turned away heading to the bathroom to freshen up for his afternoon shift. Predictably Fat Nuggets, who had been sitting on the floor by the bed, tottered in behind him and sat on the fluffy bathroom mat by the bath watching curiously.

"Well at least take it easy, 'kay. Want me t'drop by and check on ya later?" Angel called in a slightly louder voice so that his voice carried on into the bathroom and over the sound of running water.

"No!" The response made him sigh at the stubbornness of his older partner but he wasn't going to argue about it.

"Will ya at least promise t'call me if ya start feelin' shittier than usual or if ya can't shake the hangova.." Angel asked with huge pink eyes of concern, not really wanting his boyfriend to leave his suite but he couldn't force him or the demon cat would probably resent him for it. In fact, there was a brief flicker of contemplation behind those yellow eyes as Husk considered his words. He was looking like he might counter them again before he relented, exhaling heavily and sagging slightly.

"Fine. Whatever. If it will shut you up." He drawled with a non-committal shrug then he swept up the red tie from the bedside cabinet and tied it expertly into a neat bow around his neck without the aid of his reflection in a mirror. When he moved to pick up his top hat the avian cat demon blinked finding that his younger spider demon boyfriend had scooted closer to him, now perching directly in front of him on his side of the bed.
