SLAM!
Charlie jumped when she heard a door upstairs slam, then a hard pounding on wood before a frustrated yell had her on her feet.
She nearly ran into Husk as he stalked to the bar, grabbing a bottle off the shelf and uncorking it, taking several large gulps.
âUmâŠEverything good, Husk?â She asked.
Niffty suddenly hopped past, whining softly to herself as she leapt into the kitchen, hearing pots and pans banging.
Charlie looked at Husk, who had started on a second bottle and quickly followed the cyclops girl.
âHey, Niffty?â Charlie asked.
Niffty was quickly measuring out flour and muttering to herself as she grabbed some eggs.
âSad brownies?â Charlie asked as Niffty grabbed a block of fudge, then turned a grabbed a second.
âSad brownies.â She said and turned to tie her hair in two short pigtails and wash her hands.
âWhat happened?â Charlie asked when Niffty gave her a bowl and whisk.
âOh, Miss CharlieâŠâ Niffty sighed and started chopping nuts. âIt was awful!â

EARLIER...
âDance with me, Husk.â Angel teased as they walked past a club, Niffty peeking inside and grinning.
âWe gotta get this stuff back to the hotel, Ang.â Husk said. âSome other time, okay?â
âFiiiiine!â Angel huffed and reached for Huskâs hand.
Husk pulled his fingers away and crossed his arms.
Angel blinked. âThe fuck?â
âNot here, Angel.â Husk said and looked at an old poster of Angel in drag.
Angelâs eyes followed his and he scoffed.
âAre ya serious?â He asked and stalked ahead, Niffty looking from Husk to Angel before hopping to the formerâs side.
âHusky, whatâs going on?â She asked.
âNothinâ, Niff.â He grumbled.
The walk back was tense and silent as they all made it back into the hotel.
Angel dropped his things on the counter and went up to his room, Husk cursing and following after his boyfriend once the groceries had been put away.
Niffty cocked her head and leapt up the stairs, hearing muffled shouting.
ââŠfuckinâ scared to be seen with me?â
ââŠknow damn well I donât give a shit!â
âBe honest Husk!â Angel yelled as Niffty placed her ear near the door. âYa think Iâm disgusting or somethinâ? Think Iâm too much of a sluââ
âShut up!â Husk yelled. âI justâŠI donât thinkâŠAngâŠweâreâŠnot good enough to been seen togetherâŠâ
Niffty squinted her eye, Husk voice very low.
âGood en---Good enough?!â Angel yelled and there was the sound of glass breaking.
Niffty ran behind a plant as Husk ran out, a perfume bottle smashing behind his feet as he turned.
âAngelâŠI didnât mean it like thatâŠAngel!â Husk yelled as the door slammed. He pounded on the door before yelling in frustration and going down the stairs.

NOW...
Niffty sighed. âI think I get what Husk meant. I hear him talking with Mimzy when sheâs over."
âOh?â Charlie asked as they waited for the brownies to bake.
âItâs not Angel isnât good enough.â She looked up at Charlie. âItâs Husk. He thinks heâs not good enough to be seen with Angel.â
âAnd so AngelâŠoooooh.â Charlie said. âWhat should we do?â
âBrownies and milk.â
âRight! Any alcohol will make Angel spiral!â Charlie said. âHeâll lose all his progress!â
ââŠNo, milk just taste better with browniesâŠ.â Niffty said with a frown.
âRight, right, rightâŠâ Charlie laughed awkwardly. âSorry.â
Niffty huffed and heard the oven ding, taking the brownies out and letting them cool as she set up a tray.
âYa know, Miss Charlie, sometimes we just gotta do whatâs best for people in their own way.â
âBut Angel staying clean is best for himââ
âAngel, not the hotel.â
âIâŠI think I have an idea. But I might need some help.â
She grimaced as she took out her phone and shot a text.
âOkay, Niffty, we might need a few more batches of browniesâŠâ Charlie said. âAnd some of the good liquor I know you stowed away for this kind of situation. Letâs move all this to the home theater. And make sure the front room is clear.â
âWhy both rooms?â
*
âThatâs such bull!â Loona said as she downed another shot.
âHow can he imply heâs better than you?â Octavia added.
âYeah, Angie, youâre like, the fucking best!â Cherri said and stuffed another brownie in her mouth.
âThanks gals.â Angel said, sniffing and taking another tissue from Millie. Then another shot.
Niffty sat on one of the sofas, a weird cartoon playing on the screen no one was paying attention to. She quietly excused herself and hopped to the other side of the hotel where Husk was drinking from another bottle as Blitzo chattered away.
âListen, they all throw fits, but just have really rough angry seââ
âSir!â Moxxie interrupted. âThe best response is proper communication. As a happily married man, I can say with confidenceââ
âNo one cares about your boring married life!â Blitzo said and pushed Moxxie off his stool.
âBlitzy DearâŠâ Stolas cooed. âArenât we in a committed relationship?â
âWell I mean, yes.â Blitz said with a blush. âBut! Marriage makes it lessâŠsexy.â
âI see. But being my consort is much moreâŠenticing?â Stolas purred, leaning against his partner.
âUhâŠâ
âFellas!â Mimzy chided. âThis isnât helping.â
Husk was sobbing now. âI fucked up againâŠâ
âOh, HuskerâŠâ Mimzy said and rubbed his shoulders. âAlastor! Canât you help us?â
The Radio Demon looked up from his drink, cocking his head. âOh, Iâm trying, my Love.â
âTryinâAlastor! What are you up to?â The shorter demon asked her lover.
Niffty chirped and gasped, running back to the theater.
She burst in to see the same scene she had just escaped from.
Husk blubbered.
âHeâs so fuckinâ beautiful, Mimz!â He said. âLike, look at âim! Hic! âDen look at me! Heâs too good faâ me and I hateâŠâ
Angelâs eyes were transfixed on the screen.
âHate how people look at us. âDis tall fuckinâ babe and his shlubby boyfriend!â
âYouâre not shlubbyââ Mimzy said.
âYes, I am!â Husk said and hiccupped. âIâm an ugly old man and heâs just! Just!â
âJust what?â Mimzy asked, side eying Blitzo and Stolas escaping into the hall to a bedroom.
âHeâs fuckinâ perfect! Heâs pretty anâ, anâ has a nice voiceâŠHis cute widdle snore anâ man! Can he shoot, Mimz! Heâs so fuckinâ vicious when he wanna be!â Husk said, waving his bottle around. âHe looks so happy when heâs mowing down fuckers! Yeah, I snap at âim. But he can always tell when Iâm bullshitting âim. We get in our little back and forths anââŠhe does dis little pout that melt me, ya know?â
Angel chuckled.
âHis laughâŠâ Husk continued Mimzy carefully took the bottle. He mixed his drink with a smile. âFuckinâ infectious. Anâ he always smells so fuckinâ good. He looks at me likeâŠlike Iâm da best damn ting in da world, ya know?â
He smiled into his glass.
âWhen Angel isâŠwell, if anyone makes it outta hereâŠI hope itâs AngelâŠI want âim happy.â Husk said. âI love himââ
Angel tackled him on screen, and everyone was shocked to see Angel had sprinted down the halls to kiss Husk's face.
âLove ya too, Husky!â Angel yelled happily, kissing the cat demon's cheeks and lips over and over.
Husk clutched him tight in a hug. âIâm sorry, Baby.â
âI know, I know, Husky.â Angel whispered. âLetâs get ya sobered up, Baby. Then we can cuddle with Nuggs.â
âLove Nuggs.â Husk mumbled as Angel picked him up, his wings dragging behind them.
âAw~â Millie cooed as the girls joined the rest of the group in the front.
âWell, itâs late.â Charlie said.
Vaggie placed her hand on Charlieâs shoulder. âFeel free to stay the night.â
They suddenly heard pounding from Blitzo and Stolasâs room.
âEw.â Loona and Octavia said.
âI just fixed that damn wall!â Vaggie huffed and shook her head.
Niffty offered her the last brownie, the taller demon smiling at her as they dispersed.

Angel rubbed the base of Huskâs ears as he purred into his chest fluff.
âYa wrong, Baby.â Angel said.
Husk moaned sleepily.
âWe good.â Angel said, pulling the other into a kiss. âTogether.â
âButâŠâ
âShut up.â Angel chuckled. âJust stay close to me. And love me like ya do, okay?â
âLove ya, Angel...â Husk agreed.
âLove ya too, Husky~â
(PG. 3-5) Lol theyâre both so inlove with eachother and they donât even know it yet, they even fight about it guys theyâre both so pathetically smitten askjfaghsaj- đ
I dearly want these princesses to be cousins
Happy early Valentineâs Day đ©·!!!
Husk being soft with Fat Nuggets is probably Angelâs favourite thing
I love the parallels between these two pictures of the envelope, the envelope Angel gave him is visually pleasing, warm, and inviting. While the envelope Angel got back is drawn more clunky, jagged, ripped and darker tones were used. Iâm also no expert on wax seals but it looks like husk carefully pealed off the wax shaped heart and kept it since it doesnât appear attached to the envelope anymore which means Husk had to tape it to seal it again.
Anyway thanks to all of Angelâs hard work the effort has finally payed off, he gathered the money to pay Husk back for what he thinks heâs owed. Looks like his time spent at Valâs wasnât all for nothing, he was able to collect quite the pretty pennyâall of which he was willing to give to husk, in order for them to start talking again.
I assume Angelâs bar tab was pretty high up there, for there to be so many bills he handed over. But surprisingly enough Husk refuses to exploit Angel and his money, he doesnât want to take advantage of his obviously hard earned cash, so he takes $5 and leaves the rest at Angelâs disposal.Â
Husk made that huge ass fuss, ignored Angelâs posts, banned him from the bar, all of that just to settle for merely five dollars. Iâm screaming.
I think Angelâs feelings might have been hurt, Husk could possibly have come off as a little ungrateful or rude in his eyes when refusing the money. âPfft aight then. Rest is going ta @SmellyRatManâ€ïžâ aka: âFine be that way. Iâll just give it to Val.â proceeding to go back to Valentino. From Angelâs perspective he worked his ass off and went through all of that shit just to pay him back because it was HUSK that made a big deal out of it in the first place, and all he took was FIVE DOLLARS.
Tbh Iâd be a lil heated if I were him too lol but I could be wrong.
Zero hearts for Husk for once??? what in theâ
OH and look who else commented đ heâs run back into the arms of the damn rat and HE GETS TWO HEARTS ARE YOU KIDDINGMEANGELâ
So yeah I donât blame Angel if heâs a bit upset right now. We all know why Husk didnât take much money, itâs because heâs a softie, cares a shit ton and doesnât take want to take advantage of Angelâs already delicate situation.
But Angel doesnât know why. He may believe Husk just doesnât give a shit meaning Angel put in all that effort into getting the money for nothing.
So in the end Angel doesnât seem alright. At all. This sort of reminds me of the âMy boyfriend broke my heart so Iâll run to my ex for affectionâ scenario.
Iâm honestly worried about Angelâs well-being, heâs using again while staying with an abusive douche and it seems to just be getting worse. This canât end well, but I believe if anyone were able to talk some sense into Angel, it would be Husk.Â
I feel like Huskâs opinion matters most to Angel, out of everybody in the hotel Iâd say he is the closest chance on getting Angel back to the straight and narrow. Meanwhile Val is just constantly enabling him to do bad.
Angel would listen if it was Husk that told him to get the hell back to the hotel and keep him company, you know what I mean? But if it were anyone else, theyâd get the middle finger just like Charlie did.
Well Iâm just happy our boys are back to talking againâŠ.ish? We were also robbed of seeing a cute little love letter hidden inside the envelope. Someone please draw this and tag me.
